Ask & You Shall Receive by Janet Westley, Ph.D., N.H.D.

I talk often about ‘pay attention to what you think’. What you dwell on in your thoughts is what you manifest into your life. The thoughts you hold in your mind are the things you are asking for. So, ask and you shall receive.

This article is focused on mental health.

Strange Times

History is being made at this moment in time. A history that has only been experienced once before in world recordings. The historical flood of Noah’s time is the only other event that I know of that has affected the whole earth. Noah and his family were in quarantine. The entirety of mankind is in quarantine now. Yes, there have been other events of major turns in history. However, I’m talking about humans being isolated in every country around the globe.

Emotions are running high around the earth at this time. On April 4, 2020 the whole planet came together in meditation and prayer. The result was that the recording of the Shumann Resonance was 71! Normal frequency is 7.83 to 14.

This energy is running high during other mediative gatherings around the world. On the last group mediation the energy level was 68. The vibration of the earth is humming at new heights.

You are living in an exciting time in history! Change is here and now.

Change is now!

For decades we have talked about pollution, cleaning up the waters and air. Yet, we have not really done anything about it. The insanity continued. We continued to do the same thing over and over expecting different results.

Nature has taken control! Humankind has not acted responsible so we have been grounded. The car keys have been taken away by Mother Nature so to speak. In this moment in time, world wide quarantine is in place. Change is now. Life will never go back to the way it was. That is a blessing!

Momentum is moving us forward

The momentum is moving us forward. We will move forward like it or not. Now is the time to receive the blessings you have been asking for. It’s easier to float downstream than it is to paddle upstream. Go with the flow of universal energy. Take the path of least resistance!

Quieten your mind. Focus your mind on the stillness within. Listen to ‘white noise’, center on your breathing. Be still. Feel what your inner being is noticing. The emphasis may be on the emotions you’re feeling, bodily sensations, or the environment within.

People throughout the planet are being forced into a corner, our back is against the wall! How are you going to respond to this moment in time? Are you responding or reacting?

What are you thinking?

Your thoughts are your responsibility! Are you living in fear? Why? The more you think on fear, the more anxiety will be in your life. Do you not realize that this fear is an illusion? One will experience fear, anxiety and panic to the extent that you focus on it. Feelings are out of control! Why? Each person who dwells in the fear is bringing forth that reality. This world is being created by your thoughts.

On April 4, 2020, when the whole planet came together in meditation and prayer, the energy resonance was one of peace, love, joy. As we gave attention to what was going on during this moment, Mother Earth began to heal. Pollution of the air and water is clearing. The earth is resting and healing. But, more importantly, the people of the world came together as one! We are in control of how we feel! What energy are you going to sit in?

Are you in tune with who you are?

As the people of the earth have come together to align one with another, wonderful change is now occurring! Fear was high in the beginning of this quarantine. Did you become fearful? Did you let your imagination take hold of you and run wild?

The flu has killed 100 times more people than the coronavirus. So, is your fear justified? Misinformation is spreading like wildfire. Are you falling into the fear trap?

Step out of this energy of fear. It serves no purpose. Step into the energy of love and feel the change come over you.

Practice what you preach!

I have talked about going inside of yourself in previous articles, getting to know yourself is of utmost importance. Do I practice what I preach? Yes, I do.

I mediate daily. It may be for just a few moments or for a longer period of time. It just depends on the information I’m receiving. I usually start my day out in mindful thought before I get out of bed in the mornings. This practice is repeated at night as I am winding down from the day’s activities. On occasion, I’m called to take a few moments out to focus, realign with myself and God energy.

You have been given a most unique opportunity. Take advantage of it. Now is the time to really get to know yourself. In living mindfully, one learns to pay attention to their thoughts. To be aware.

The other day I was feeling irritated. There was no reason for me to feel angry. I decided to sit in the emotion for a few moments and to listen to what I needed to know. Asking myself basic questions, “What is it that you are feeling? Why?” As, I anchored into the emotion I was feeling at the time, a realization began to come forward. I had personal insight move to the foreground. Realizations that I had been pushing into the background.

How do you deal with emotions?

First of all, by taking the time to acknowledge my emotions, I was supporting my mental health. To deny emotions and feelings is not healthy. We don’t want to admit that our emotions are not always happy. It makes us feel like we’re not being positive when emotions are running low. Where is it written that we have to be feeling happy all the time?

Next, one has to realize that emotions are not good or bad. Emotions just are. It’s what is being experienced at that moment. If someone has said or done something that has triggered a strong response from you, ask yourself why? Usually, when we have a severe reaction to an individual, it’s because that person has mirrored a part of our personality that we don’t want to admit we have.

Rather than thinking we have to be happy, loving and kind all the time, embrace all of your emotions. But, remember not too dwell on the emotions that cause us to fall into a never ending loop of fear or anxiety.

Lastly, you are the creator of your world! Because our thoughts create the reality to be experienced, it’s important to pay attention to what you’re thinking.

Do You Know Who You Are? by Janet Lynas, Ph.D., N.H.D.

I received a phone call one day last week from a friend. She told me that she was lonely. I asked her what she had done that day and she responded by telling me all the people she had talked with so far that day. I was the 5th or 6th person she had called.

Social media is booming right now with so many people being home. I noted a posting from a former classmate stating she was feeling lonely. This particular past classmate is raising a seven year old grandson. She has been posting photos of activities she and her grandson are doing at home. She’s also homeschooling this child now that everyone is in quarantine.

I can’t help but wonder why people feel lonely during this time-out we are all in.

Loneliness vs Isolation

Why is it that people feel lonely when they are surrounded by other people? How do we understand the underlying motivation to our loneliness? What is the difference between being lonely and feeling isolated?

The first lie we’re told is that we are separated from God. In reality, that’s not true. Each of us are connected to I AM THAT I AM. This is not what I want to talk with you about. But, keep in mind, this is an underlying factor to loneliness.

I’m lonely

The short definition of lonely is: sad because one has no friends or company. So, if you have friends and you have communication with them, why are you lonely? Where is that feeling of loneliness coming from? I understand being in a relationship and feeling lonely, even though that person was with me. It’s not a good feeling to have.

You can be in someone’s company, but if there is no connection mentally, physically or emotionally, one can certainly feel aloneness.

I’m sure you remember reading about babies during World War II who where in an orphanage and these babies were dying even though they were being cared for. These babies were feed, diapered, sheltered, and given what they needed for survival. Yet, they were failing to thrive and many died. As it turned out, the orphanage was short staffed. These babies didn’t have the physical contact of touch and human interaction. They died because of lack of human touch and contact.

We’re not babies who need the extra touching and cuddling to thrive. Yes, as adults, we still need human contact, but I want to dig a little deeper. What is the emotional and spiritual component that is being overlooked?

Isolation

The definition of isolation is: being separated from other people, segregation, quarantined.

Notice the main difference between lonely and isolation is the word ‘sad’. Both definitions are similar, but the subtle difference is how one feels.

Above, we talked about being with someone and feeling lonely because of lack of connection with that person. The lack of connection can come from not having common interest to growing apart from each other.

Many marriages have failed because couples didn’t marry for the right reasons. The foundation for these marriages is loneliness. People don’t like being alone; so they get married. Several years into the marriage they find being with someone and still being lonely is often worse than being by ones self. Loneliness is a weak foundation for a marriage. It’s a weak foundation for any relationship.

Who am I?

The majority of people on earth don’t really know themselves. Hold on before you tell me I don’t know what I’m talking about!

Men tend to identify themselves through their jobs. They see themselves by what they do. The profession gives the man his identity in life. Men judge themselves by how well they are able to provide for their families. The provider and protector.

Women on the other hand are not that dissimilar. We judge ourselves by how well we care for our families and by our professions as well. Nurture and caregiver.

However, do you really know who you are? What are your core values? I’m not talking about the values that we are taught by our parents and society. If you examine those values you were taught as a child, you may find that they don’t register with you. We are taught who we are as children by what others tells us about ourselves.

“You’re such a sweet girl. You never cause any problems.”

“You’re a great athlete! You’ll go far in life!”

“Do you know how smart you are? You can do anything in life.”

Or just the opposite: “Why can’t you do anything right?”

“If you lose some weight, you’ll get a boyfriend.”

Forget about what you’ve been told!

Release the programing from your childhood. These beliefs are what others think about you. Pay attention to your self-talk. What are you telling yourself? Are you still stuck in the programing of your youth? Let it go! 

Take this time while we are all in quarantine to learn who you really are. What are your strengths? Your weaknesses? Remember what you think of as a weakness is really a strength.

How do I learn who I am?

Good question! But, keep in mind to know one’s self is an ongoing process. Humankind is always evolving and growing. No one is the same today as you were ten years ago. That person you were ten years ago has had ten years of new experiences which has changed you.

Let’s get started on this journey of self discovery.

Be honest with yourself. There is no right or wrong here. No one else needs to see what you have written down about yourself.

  1. Know your own personality. Are you optimistic? Pessimistic? Happy or sad?
  2. What are your core values are. What’s important to you? How do you relate to these values to your lifestyle? Are you self condemning or do you show yourself compassion when you mess up?
  3. Get to know your own body. Do you listen to your body? Your body does talk to you. Have you stopped long enough to ask your body what it  need to flourish? When was the last time you treated your body to a nourishing moment of rest?
  4. Get to know your dreams. What is your heart’s desire? How badly do you want it? If you had your heart’s desire, how would your life be different?
  5. What are your likes and dislikes. Believe it or not, most of us only think we know what we like and don’t like. For years I thought I didn’t like asparagus. I didn’t like the asparagus in a can, but when I tasted fresh steamed asparagus, I loved it!

Think about these things listed above. Really take the time to think about what you value in life. Not what others have told you that you should cherish. Write down your thoughts, it helps you to better identify who you really are. Seeing what you think in writing helps you to be more honest with yourself.

The first step is the most important step in self discovery!

Moving forward can be difficult, especially if you don’t really know who you are.

“I don’t know how to take the first step”, you say. “What do I do?”

  1. Get quiet and focus on your breathing. Just focus on how you’re breathing. Breath from your diaphragm. Place one hand on your chest and the other on your stomach. If you’re breathing from the diaphragm (like we are supposed to be) your stomach will rise higher than your chest.
  2. Take a deep breath in slowly and release it slowly. As you breath in feel your muscles relaxing. Breathing out slowly and let go of the stress you’ve been carrying around.
  3. Ask yourself, “What do I need to know?” Listen to that inner voice as it gives you your answer. Trust what you hear.
In summary

Open your mind and heart. Dump out old programming. Clean house so to speak. Throw out those beliefs that were feed to you as a child. Once you clear out the clutter, you will have space for your own beliefs. This is the beginning of a new love affair with yourself.

Being lonely is not a bad thing. Being lonely is however, your inner-self calling out for self-care. Take advantage of this isolation and get to know the wonderful person you truly are.

Schumann Resonance by Janet Lynas, Ph.D., N.H.D.

I write and talk about the Schumann Resonance. This is the frequency measurement of Earth. Scientist have taken this measurement daily for years. We know when a major event occurs on Gaia, there is a reaction in the change of frequency coming from our home. The measurement is call hertz (hz). The normal range is between 7.8 to 30 hz.

Millions Gathered Together

Last night, millions of people world wide joined with each other in prayer/mediation. This event was organized by grassroots meditation groups. The purpose of the event was to focus on peace and love while the entire globe is in quarantine from the Coronavirus.

It’s said that insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different outcomes. This is what we have done for the last 21 centuries! It’s time for change!

We, the people of the world, are tired of the way life has been lived for all these centuries. It’s time to put away the greed and the illusion that there is not enough resources to sustain us all. Right now, is the time to do away with the power mongrel philosophy of hoarding money, trying to control the peoples of the world and to manipulate the outcome for a few selected people.

New Earth

The voices of the people are heard!  Last night as millions of people focused on change, the Schumann Resonance was measured at an astonishing 76 hz! We have the momentum going for change. Let’s not lose this beginning that is started for a better world.

Moving forward, I hope we will realize that we can accomplish more by working together instead of trying to compete. We are all in this together. Work one with the other and our world will make quantum leaps ahead for the betterment of all of humankind.

There is no going back!

Care of the Soul by Janet Lynas, Ph.D., N.H.D.

We care for our physical health, most of us pay attention to our mental health, and all of us care for our emotional wellbeing. Care also includes one’s children, family, so many other things in life such as our home and property.

But, do you care for your soul? How does one care for their soul?

What is the soul?

The soul is the spiritual or immaterial part of a human being or animal, that is regarded as immortal.

Also, the soul is the subject of human consciousness and freedom. Soul and body together form one unique human creation. According to the Bible, each human soul is individual and immortal, and created by God. The soul does not die with the body, but is separated at death.

There is a difference between the soul and the spirit. The soul is immortal, but the spirit is not. Your soul is who you really are, beyond the physical encasement of the body. The spirit is a mediator between body and soul. Everyone’s soul has to do with the emotional aspect and with the individual life itself.  While the spirit is the essence or force that allows the body to function.

Our soul is made of an extremely high vibrational energy coming from the spiritual universe. The soul is invisible, it cannot be seen, weighed or measured in any physical sense. The soul is thought to be associated with the heart charka.

Caring for the Soul

Caring for the soul is more intimate, deep and genuine  than care for day to day activities. When your soul is moved, you feel both love and anger. You will have strong desires and at times even stronger fears.

Throughout a lifetime, one may discovery that the needs of the soul can change and that life becomes difficult. What once nourished your soul, now has become a burden that you now feel the need to escape. To nurture your life is to reach out beyond the limits you have imposed on yourself.

In caring for the soul, we have to learn who we are by facing our shadow side and embracing all aspects of who we truly are. You learn to work with what is, rather than what you wish things to be.

To care for the soul means to open-up to our humanness and to show compassion to ourselves. We have to step out of the humdrum task of daily activities and begin to explore the psyche. Exploration of the psyche is both exciting and scary. Moving beyond the mindlessness of everyday life and into the realm of the soul is indeed the first step into fully living life.

Be brave, learn all you can about who you are, for this is part of the lessons we are to learn in this lifetime.  Reach-out, take hold of your humanness, grow past the boundaries you have built around yourself. Set your soul free! In doing so, you have taken the first step towards caring for the soul.

Confessions of a Valentine’s Day Coward by Janet Lynas, Ph.D., N.H.D

The birth of Valentine’s Day just might surprise you. Furthermore, the origins of Valentine’s Day is rather murky.

However, the origin of Valentine’s Day is found in the ancient pagan culture of Rome and Greece. Having said this, February is always considered the month of romance and fertility. St. Valentine’s Day originates from two obscene Roman festivals of fertility called Lupercalia and Feast of Juno Februata both celebrated in mid-February.

How did Valentine’s Day start?

Valentine’s Day started in 500 A.D. Saint Gelasius, the third pope, of the Catholic Church started Valentine’s Day tradition. He named the day after Saint Valentine or Saint Valentinus. Valentine is derived from a Latin word ‘valens’ meaning worthy, strong or powerful.

A popular account of Saint Valentine of Rome tells us he was imprisoned and tortured for performing marriage ceremonies against the command of Emperor Claudius the second.

Valentine’s Day and Self-Worth

Sad, isn’t it, that our self-worth is tied up in Valentine’s Day. Young girls and young men determine their self-worth on whether or not they receive a Valentine’s Day card or not. Young men are apprehensive to offer love to the young girl they hope will be receptive to the affections they hope to bestow on her.

Furthermore, there is the stress of picking out the perfect Valentine’s Day gift. Giving the gift of love certainly is not easy. Because this day of love is so important, there is a lot of drama. She did not get the ring she was hoping for. He is turned down with the marriage proposal. Therefore, to me, Valentine’s Day is the most dreaded and scary day of the year. Fear of being hurt in love runs high.

As we mature, it still doesn’t get any easier for those who are single when this day rolls around. Plans are made for intimate dinners. Flowers are ordered. Gifts bought. Hearts are offered up. Many singles just hide out in their homes on this day, thus, avoiding the question, “What are your plans for Valentine’s Day?”

It’s not easy for those who are in relationships, but who are not in love with their partner. They love their partner, but they have settled into a relationship more like roommates than lovers. You’ve settled into a rut and are just going through the motions and you’re wondering how you got here.

Love the biggest fear of all

Do you know the difference between ‘loving’ someone and being ‘in love‘ with someone? There’s a difference? Yes, indeed there is! What happens if I ‘love’? What happens if I fall ‘in love’?

If I love, I give myself totally to love and then I’m lost forever. To let go and be totally in love scares me. I have loved and I do love, but I have never been in love. There’s a big difference between love and being in love. Why does it scare me…. to be in love?

When we love, we’re still in control of our emotions. But, to be in love, that is a different story. To be in love is to let go of self.

Falling in love

If you’ve ever had surgery, remember how you’re struggling to stay in control of yourself? Then the anesthesia sweeps through your veins and all control is lost. You have no idea what letting go of control has in store for you. It’s scary! Actually, it’s terrifying!

Think back to the Latin word ‘valens’. It means worthy, strong or powerful. I’m not sure I’m that strong or powerful enough to let go and be in love. Does this mean I’m afraid I may not be worthy?

How do you overcome the fear?

Honestly, I don’t know how to overcome the fear of being in love. Be brave and take a leap of faith! Easier said than done!

I guess to take that leap of faith is like jumping into the water for the first swim of the season. Days are warm, but the water hasn’t had time to warm up yet. You know the water will be cold when you jump in, however, you can’t contain your excitement and you jump. The cold water is a shock to your body! It takes your breath away!

The surprise of the cold water brought you out of your slumber. You’re fully awake to the pleasures and joy that the water brings as it engulfs you.

I think this might be what it’s like to be in love. There’s a disturbance when someone comes into your life, blindsides you… What just happened? Cold water was thrown in your face and your breath was taken away. Your heart is racing and you just don’t know what has happened. You’ve lost all control over your feelings!

In my upcoming book, Dimensional Shift, I talk about it’s easier to float downstream than it is to try to paddle upstream. I guess this is want it’s like to surrender to being in love.

So, to those brave souls who have surrendered to being in love, I tip my hat to you. You are truly strong, powerful and worthy. To let go of control is indeed brave. I have heard that being in love is a powerful experience.

Creation Story Part 2 by Janet Lynas, Ph.D., N.H.D.

In part one we talked about Adam and Eve’s creation, choices they had, and fall from grace. Today in part 2 we are looking at a different perspective all together. I think outside of the box. As a result, I’m not restricted in my thinking. I do my own thinking. Do you?

My mother used to tell me, “God gave you a brain, use it!” However, using my brain often gets me into trouble. I am one of ‘those’ people who think outside of the box. Thinking outside of the box is often viewed as being a ‘little off’. That’s ok. I’m don’t worry about what other people think of me. Are you ready to begin this journey on thinking outside of the box?

In the beginning

Spirit looked over the newly formed creation of planet Earth. Many creatures roamed over the earth and flew in the skies above. Yet there seemed to be something missing…

“Let us make a man in our own image.” Interesting choice of words, don’t you think? Creator Source made man.

“It’s not good for man to be alone.” Source put man to sleep. A rib is removed to create woman. (First anesthesia and surgery preformed.) Man and woman are intelligent beings. They have free will.

Fall from intimacy

Man and woman have an intimate relationship with I AM THAT I AM. Conversations are intimately deep and meaningful. Humankind and God are one in the same. As you recall, mankind is created in the likeness of Creator God. Man and woman having deep knowledge of ALL THAT THERE IS, knows what it’s like to be Spirit Most High. After all, God is connected spiritually with Adam and Eve.

Suppose just for a moment that Adam and Eve chose to experience what it would be like to grow and expand on their own. This is where eating from the Tree of Knowledge comes in.

Rather than living in paradise, the couple decided to experience life from a new reality. Hence, the experiment of life without the knowledge of Yahweh begins. Adam and Eve are expelled from the garden.

The veil is raised.

Finding the way back home

Adam and Eve find themselves in a new reality. Forgotten is the knowledge of being intimate with God. There is a veil blocking their memory of being in spiritual connection with Source. Faced with separation from Father God makes life difficult. In contrast, there now is no intimacy with God. Something is missing, but what? Furthermore, one now has to learn how to care for themself.

Adam and Eve are now looking outside of themselves for Spirit. God is up in heaven or on some other plain of existence. Because they are looking outside of themselves for God, there is a sense of something missing, but what?

Religion teaches us that Father lives in heaven. Heaven is a far off place. Mankind is separated from Yahweh. How do we find our way back home? Where and what is home?

Remembering

Rather than looking on the outside for God, turn your attention to what’s inside of you. What do you mean? Pay attention to the soft voice that talks to you during quiet moments. Also, listen to your ‘gut’ feeling. Trust your intuition.

Think back to all those times when you said to yourself, “I should have trusted my gut!” So, where do you think your gut feeling comes from? Who is that small quiet voice speaking to you?

Meditating is the fastest way to get in touch with your feelings and to learn to listen to the voice inside of you. As a result of meditation, you soon learn to trust the word deep within you. Likewise, as you learn to trust the intuition instructing you, you will begin communicating with God who is in you.

Look inside to see Source

While one meditates, you become in-tune with the seed of Spirit that is with you at all times. Listen with your heart, not with the mind. God once said, “Be still and know that I am God.”

You’re never alone. Being away from Spirit is the first lie. The veil is in place making it difficult for us to remember the connection with Source.

Just for a moment, close your eyes, focus on your breathe. Breath in deeply. Release the breathe slowly. Feel you body relaxing. Also, the more relaxed you are, the easier it is to listen to the inner knowing within you.

As a result, the voice within will speak gently to you. Listen with your heart and trust that what is being spoken is the truth. How do I know if this voice is God’s? First of all, Source speaks from love. Hence, your connection with Love gives you a sense of peace.

As you sit quietly, you will soon see a tiny light activate in the center of your core. So, as this light glows brighter, the warmth of love will fill you entirely. The veil is coming down. You remember once again what it’s like to be one with Spirit.

See the truth

The truth is, God is not in heaven. Nor is He somewhere out in the universe. God is and has always been within you. Also, feel the love that comes from this source within. As a result, this love spreads and grows filling us from the bottom of our feet to the top of our head.

This love inside is God. Stand centered in the God space. Align yourself with this energy. By aligning yourself with God within, you have once again reignited the spark of recognition between you and God.

Know that standing in this energy of love, has ripped down the veil of deception. You now remember, “I’m one with Creator!” Therefore, you know the truth! Finally the truth has set you free!

Adam and Eve Story Across Cultures Part 1 by Janet Lynas, Ph.D., N.H.D.

In the Jewish, Christian, and Islamic religious traditions, the first parents were Adam and Eve. Next there’s the story of Gikuyu and Mumbi who were the first parents of the Agikuyu from Central Kenya; they are the largest tribe in the country. Next is the Bukusu story of Mwambu, the first man. Mwambu means creator or pioneer. He was fashioned from mud by Khakaba which is what the Luhya call God. God gave him a wife named Sela.

Do you know there are about ten different stories around the world telling of the first man and woman? These stories are similar, but each has a different twist. All are considered myths. I’m not here to debate if the creation stories about man and woman are a myth or not. What I do want to take a look at is the possibility of yet another meaning to the “Garden of Eden” story.

Traditional meaning of the Garden of Eden Story

In the traditional story of the creation of mankind, we are told God made man in His likeness. I AM THAT I AM, being perfect, having unconditional love, decided at some point in the remote past that he wanted a living being to possess the same kind of wonderful existence and righteous character he had always experienced. God then decided man should have a helpmate so he would not be lonely, thus creating woman.

Spirit Most High put the first couple in a garden paradise where He provided all that the man and woman would need to live out a happy life. Man was made to look over the rest of creation and paradise to see that all went according to plan. But, what was the plan?

In the story, God told man and woman that they could have anything in the garden, only they could not eat the fruit from the Tree of Life. We all know what happens when one is given a temptation and told not to do something. That which is forbidden, will be done.

We know from the story that man and woman were banished from the garden. They were sentenced to a life of hardship and separateness from God.

Why would a loving God give man free choice and then condemn him for making a choice?

Human parents would be considered cruel and deceptive to give their children a perfect environment to live in, only to set them up for failure with a temptation. In the story about man and woman, this is exactly what happened.

Being a loving parent, we would do all we could to make sure our child succeeded. It makes no sense for our Creator to be deceptive and cruel to the first couple. What is the point of the story from the fall of grace?

Some say, the point was, that Adam and Eve were given a direct command not to eat the forbidden fruit. They had to follow the command without question. If this is true, Adam and Eve would not have had free will. They would not be given the freedom to think for themselves.

Yet on the other hand, if they were given a choice and made any choice other than what was commanded of them… You see the dilemma.

Did God know that Adam and Eve would sin?

Jehovah knew that Adam and Eve would sin, thereby bring evil, suffering, and death into the world. However, if Spirit knew what the couple would do, then what was the point in placing them in that situation? God knew ahead of time what the results of sin are. Doesn’t that make the whole situation preordained to happen?

I AM THAT I AM tested the first couple by allowing Satan to tempt Adam and Eve. They are forced to make a choice. In doing so, every person is born with a sinful nature, causing each of us to have a tendency to sin.

 

If man is made in the image of God and God is without sin, how can we be born sinful? I encourage you to read the creation story you grew up hearing. In part two, I will take a completely different look at the creation story. We will explore possibly another meaning to the story.

 

By the way, Eve was not Adam’s first wife! Lilith was the first wife. That kind of blows the ‘no divorce’ believe out of the water, doesn’t it. That’s a different story for another time.

20/20 Vision for 2020 by Janet Lynas, Ph.D., N.H.D.

 

There’s a song with the words, “I can see clearly now that the rain has gone…” by Jimmy Cliff.  I recommend you listen to the song. This song is about seeing life as being a good, bright and sun shiny day.

Do you have 20/20 vision?

Is your glass half filled or half empty? What is your outlook on life?  We are ending not only a year, but we are ending a decade.  Can you see clearly how far you have come in the last ten years?  See your strength that has brought you through the last decade.  You have overcome challenges that might have involved your health, finances or your family dynamics may have been tested to the limits. Yes, you’ve learned many life lessons and grown from the experiences.  You are most likely exhausted and needing rest.

Go within, the growth pains need to be released from the last ten years.  Feel the pain, let it pass through you, don’t hold on to it.  Now is the time to purge all the toxic debris left in the wake of the storm.  Take the time to rest and recover from these life’s lessons.  Sometimes the lessons are painful, but they are necessary for growth. At times, this means leaving behind people we love, but who are no longer on the same page as we are.  Each person grows at their own rate, however, we can’t stand still when our loved one is growing at a slower rated than we are.  They may or may not catch up.  Let them travel their own journey.

Now is the time to set intentions for the year 2020 and for the next decade.  Clearly see what you want to manifest into your life.  It’s time to reap the harvest from the last ten years of toil!

How do you set intentions?

Go into a quiet place where you will not be disturbed.  Breathe slowly, just focus on you breathing.  Let the “monkey chatter” of the mind pass through.  Don’t try to fight it, but don’t dwell on it either.  Bring your focus back to your breathing.  As your mind starts to quieten, ask yourself, “What do I really want?”  Allow the answer to come forth.  Don’t try to direct what the answer will be.  Listen from your heart, not your mind.  Your heart knows what you want, listen to it!

Once you have identified what your intentions are, give yourself permission to welcome these desires to enter into your life.  Don’t set a time limit on when they will appear.  Feel the joy and excitement in having these desires come alive in your existence.  Then plant this intention in the feelings of joy and excitement then watch as it takes root.  See it grow to maturity.  You will be amazed as it becomes reality.

Open your mind and heart to see the possibilities!

Look beyond the illusions in life.  See the reality in each situation.  Create what you want your life to be.  You are the creator of your life.  Be active in living life, don’t just go through life without passion or purpose!  Are you living your life?  Or are you just passing through, numb to your feelings and what’s going on around you?  If you’re just going through the motions, stop!  Find your passion!  Find your purpose!  Experience life!

Your Life Story… What Story Do You Want To Create? by Janet Lynas, Ph.D., N.H.D.

What is the story of your life?  Do you hear what you’re saying about yourself to yourself?  Do you really hear what you’re saying?  How are your words on self-talk affecting your relationships?  The words you use in self-talk brings into reality what you dwell on.

What Goes Into Your Head Comes Out In Your Reality

So, what thoughts are you putting into your head?  Notice in the above photo and that the dialog quotes are empty.  We have a new year and a new decade rapidly approaching.  You have a fresh start coming up.  Before we can begin the new year and decade, we have to clear out the residue left over from the past.

Look back over the last ten years, the last year, how have you held yourself back?  Release the negative thoughts about yourself and those around you.  It’s time to let go of the past, because that’s just what it is, the past.  The pain from the previous decade no longer serves its purpose and needs to be released. Take a deep breath and as you exhale, allow the negative talk to evaporate.

You have a clean slate.  Remember, the thoughts you allow to settle into your brain, will become the reality you will live.

Creating A New Reality

As your thoughts dwell on a certain topic or belief, you began to manifest these thoughts and feelings into your life.  We’ve talked about the power of the words I AM before.  If you tell yourself, “I AM sick”, then you become sick.  Telling yourself, “I AM poor” creates poverty.  However, if you say, “I AM healthy”, you will experience better health.  It’s the same when we tell ourselves, “I AM happy”, we are happy within ourselves.  As a result, we are better able to cope with difficult moments in our lives.

How are you going to fill in the blank dialog quotes?  It’s your choice.  I choose to tell myself that I am able to create abundance, love, joy, and happiness within my reality.  My story is one of I AM worthy of these aspects in life.

Sure, life throws us a curve at times, but it’s up to us to determine how we will react in those situations.  I choose to be proactive in my world.  I AM not a victim in the events that come about in my reality.  The victim role is one that I will not participate in.

Life is not always easy.  Events happen in our existence that we don’t have control over.  We do, however, have control over our reactions to the situations that arise.

It’s Your Choice

Really take this time to think about what you want in this lifetime.  You are the one who is telling your life story.  What words will you use in your self-talk?

What will 2020 have in store for you? by Janet Lynas, Ph.D., N.H.D.#

 

The year 2020 is rapidly approaching, ushering in a new era.  I want to take a look at what we might expect in the year 2020 from a metaphysical aspect.  What is the connection with the number 2020 and the spiritual energies we are experiencing?

2019 Energies

First, I want to take a look back on the year 2019.  With the number 2019 we see aspects within the angelic realm giving us guidance on the the year had to bring forth in our lives. The number 2 relates to duality and finding balance and harmony. Two also has to do with partnerships and relationships. It is associated with diplomacy, mediation and adaptability, sensitivity and selflessness. Number 2 also resonates with faith, trust and serving your life purpose.

You find that the number 0 represents being on ones spiritual journey. Number 0 powerfully amplifies the energies of the numbers it appears with.  The number 1 resonates with creation, beginning new projects and ventures with a view to achieving success.  Remember with the number 1 that we create our own reality.

Number 9 associates with the Universal Laws as well as endings and conclusions.

2019 Changes in my Life

The year 2019 has brought many life changing events into my life.  Endings of relationships that no longer serve a purpose in my spiritual development. Once I examined my shadow side thinking that old wounds had been healed, only to realize they had not been.  Purging the hurts and pain I felt in past relationships was needed so I would heal from the pain.  Hopefully I have finally forgiven those who have hurt me.  I forgave myself in the role that I played in the event as well.

As the year, 2019 comes to a conclusion so have the lessons I needed to learn.

What’s ahead in 2020

When the same two numbers are seen together, you must remember that these numbers are amplified.  The number 2 resonates with the vibrations and attributes of service and duty.  Balance and harmony, adaptability and diplomacy come into alignment.  Co-operation, consideration, receptivity and love play into the vibrational qualities of the number 2.

With the number 0, the frequencies usher in the beginning of a spiritual journey, eternity, oneness, the continuing cycles, potentials and/or choices, and a beginning point to start.

Angel Number 2020 encourages you to show compassion, diplomacy, consideration and adaptability as you passionately serve others.

Angel Number 2020 can turn the most ambitious dreams into reality. Wonderful events are happening behind the scenes that will be of great benefit to you in the near future.  You may not be experiencing these opportunities in your life just yet, but know that they are on their way.  See the bigger picture and work with the details necessary to complete that picture in order to bring forth these blessings on both the spiritual and material planes.

Be diplomatic, co-operative and loving when relating to others.  You are well-blessed in your life.

Endings bring New Beginnings

Take the time to review the last year and the last decade.  Look at the lessons you learned.  Give thanks to all situations you encountered during the last ten years.  It’s from these happenings that you grew and became stronger.  Celebrate the end of an era by reflecting on where you have been and how far you have come.

Be thankful for the new opportunities that are being presented to you in the next phase of your life.

There are several excellent web sights on angel numbers.
