Dimensional Shift Part 4 by Janet Lynas, Ph.D., N.H.D.

Does one have to experience hardships to know what pain and suffering are? Of course not. I know and understand what it is to agonize over a situation without experiencing that particular hardship.  The thing is, we are taught that we can’t know about suffering and pain without experiencing it. So, do you have to be burned by the flame to know that the fire hurts when flesh comes into contact with it? You feel the heat coming from the flame. Do you have to be in turbulent waters to know that one can drown in this treacherous sea of waves crashing around you?  However, do humans really thrive during times of cold, dark despair? At times we do, but other times the sorrow servers no purpose in our growth. It actually causes our demise. 

“And once the storm is over, you won’t remember how you made it through, how you managed to survive. You won’t even be sure whether the storm is really over. But one thing is certain. When you come out of the storm, you won’t be the same person who walked in. That’s what this storm’s all about.” —Haruki Murakami

Don’t Make Life Harder

So, it’s easier to let the boat float downstream, than it is to paddle upstream.  

When each of us let go of control issues, stop trying to mold life into what we think it should be, and releases the fear, life changes from being a traumatic tribulation into a calmer energy field. In addition, life becomes peaceful and filled with the abundance that God intended for us to have. Is it not easier to expand with the Universe, than to try to control it? In reality, no one has control over anything, not even our own existence. Why does anyone continue to delude themselves into thinking that they have control over their own life?

Let the illusion of control die. Bury it! Dig a deep hole and drop the illusion of authority into it. Cover up the hole with the soil of closure.  Pound the dirt tight with the shovel. Therefore, let this deception rest in peace, buried in its own grave. Stop the delusional thinking of humankind being in charge over the Earth and everything within her. Society has created this delusional belief that we are in control. We have to let it go. No one person is in control of anything, including our own self!

Earth Doesn’t Need A Conquer

Where did you get this idea that we have to conquer the Earth as warriors anyway?

Genesis 1:26-28 26 Then God said, “Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals, and over all the creatures that move along the ground.” 27 So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them. 28 God blessed them and said to them, “Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky and over every living creature that moves on the ground.” (NIV) 

Source Has A Plan

It is Source’s intention for us to be the guardians of this garden of paradise. Just as a farmer tends to his fields by keeping the weeds out and reaping the fruits of his labor, so should we tend lovingly to Mother Earth. It is in this caring for our Mother, that we reconnect with her energy for our own life. By lovingly cultivating our land, we are caring for ourselves and in doing so, promoting abundant health for both of us.

Let go, throw out the paddles, let the boat flow with the stream and see the true reality of what Creator has to offer. Pull the veil of illusion down, NO, rip it away and see what’s hidden behind it!  See the Love that is in control. Feel the love of ALL-THAT-THERE-IS! The truth is, love is all that there is. Nothing is more important than the love God has for each of us. 

As the life-giving reconnection is re-established with Gaia, the energies begin to intertwine and once again we are one with Creation.  Our heritage is once again ours.  

Summary

Earth, Teach Me

Earth teach me quiet ~ as the grasses are still with new light. Earth teach me suffering ~ as old stones suffer with memory. Earth teach me humility ~ as blossoms are humble with beginning. Earth teach me caring ~ as mothers nurture their young. Earth teach me courage ~ as the tree that stands alone. Earth teach me limitation ~ as the ant that crawls on the ground. Earth teach me freedom ~ as the eagle that soars in the sky. Earth teach me acceptance ~ as the leaves that die each fall. Earth teach me renewal ~ as the seed that rises in the spring. Earth teach me to forget myself ~ as melted snow forgets its life. Earth teach me to remember kindness ~ as dry fields weep with rain.

Greed by Janet Lynas, Ph.D., N.H.D.

The root cause of war is greed. Greed is the root cause of all evil. I hear you saying, “No! There are several causes of war.” But, the root cause is greed. One country wants another country’s gas, oil, land, natural resources etc.

While greed is the root cause of all evil, what is the cause of greed? What is the first act of greed? I believe the first example of greed was in the Garden of Eden. The serpent introduced covetousness to Eve. She is promised the knowledge of God when she eats the apple.

Spiritual greediness

Having said this, let’s look at greediness from the spiritual aspect. Therefore, this addiction spreads throughout all levels of society. Intense desire happens when the natural human impulse to obtain and consume resources makes us aggressive.

In addition, the desire to control and possess material resources becomes a strong craving that consumes people. The problem with greediness is that this compulsion overtakes us.  Therefore, one will not connect to other people in a healthy relationship.

Spiritual Materialism

Most importantly, I have observed in the metaphysical community an all consuming desire to level up. It’s a status symbol to be on a higher level. Yes, it’s easy to get caught up in the frenzy.

Therefore, an individual is overcome with a voracious consumption of religious teachings. Hunger for spiritual truth sometimes becomes overwhelming and derails one. You go on a hunt to find the ultimate religious teacher. Greed often over takes one in the sense that they want to be the favorite trainee of the guru. We want to be seen as special.

In addition, spiritual materialism completely overtakes rational thinking. Greed has devastating effects on our inner emotional health. With anxiety and restlessness overtaking us, we are out of control as craving for rightness continues to grow.

How does greed affect us?

Consequently, this social gluttony, is a vicious cycle that overcomes us. Greed is a selfish desire to acquire more than one needs. So, with greed we have a selfish craving. We grab and hoard things that we really don’t need.

That is to say, we lose ourself in the quest to become enlightened. Meanwhile, instead of moving forward, ground is lost.

Left unchecked, greed often kills. You are damaged with this consuming addiction. Greed is both a good thing and bad. The trick is to keep it balanced. Greed motivates us to grow and evolve. Altruism is a better force for creating positive change. It takes time to develop it.

In summary

There are times when self interest is necessary. The Air Force has a saying,”Me first!” Yes, we do have to put ourselves first at times. If we don’t take care of ourselves, we can’t help others.

To clarify, there are two sides to greed. The shadow side is all consuming. It is addictive. You will have been lost if left unchecked. The light side of greed motivates us to achieve understanding in life. We have been motivated to grow.

Ascension vs Evolution by Janet Lynas, Ph.D., N.H.D.

We hear the word ‘ascension’ quite a bit in the spiritual arena. However, it’s not really all that clear what the term means. When I hear the word ascension, I visualize someone rising up in the air and going to who knows where. Like Christ did after the resurrection.

Ascension

What is the definition of ascension?

ascension: the act of rising to an important position or a higher level.

Then there’s the religious definition: the ascent of Christ into heaven on the fortieth day after the Resurrection.

Next there’s the New Age concept of ascension: choosing the path to walk/work so you can ascend to a higher level of consciousness.

Therefore, ascension is not something that just ‘happens’ to us. It’s a conscious decision.

Tell me more

Remember in Star Trek the wording, “to boldly go where no man has gone before”? I believe that’s what we’re looking at with the word ascension. I think this word is one that I don’t want to use. It’s vague in its imagery. There’s not a clear concept about what’s really going on. And then, there’s the ‘holier than thou’ feeling with the word.

Ascension is a process, that sounds like a lot of work doesn’t it? For instance, one is aligning with Higher Consciousness one step at a time. Ascension is not only a spiritual process, but a physical and mental undertaking. Sounds like an enormous amount of energy is needed. This is a total transformation to enlightenment.

In addition to this transformation, one has to awaken! To awaken to the ‘truth’ is to have understanding of higher realms and having a different perspective of awarenesses. I guess we’ve been oblivious to what’s going on around us. Above all, who’s to say what the truth is? One person’s truth may not be another’s truth. That doesn’t mean one person is right and one is wrong. Think about it!

After that, you have to clear out lower energies, ground yourself and balance one’s self as well. I don’t know about you, but, this is making me tired.

I know I sound like I’m being condescending, I’m really not. However, my thoughts are, more simple. Last night, I was told life is complicated. In other words, there are things going on that we can’t understand or comprehend. There may be things going on and we may not have all the information, but it doesn’t mean it’s complicated. I guess I must be simple minded. Seeing past the illusions has always been easy for me.

Evolution

Evolution has a few definitions, but one is more in line with this topic. I like the description of a pattern of movements or maneuvers. After that, my other choices are growth, development, unfolding and change to name a few.

Let me start to tie all this together for you. Ascension seems a little pompous to me. You know, the better than thou attitude. Evolution is letting life unfold to allow one to grow and learn in a natural way.

Another concept of evolution in the spiritual sense is:

Spiritual evolution is the philosophical, theological, esoteric or spiritual idea that nature and human beings evolve: either from an established cosmological pattern (ascent), or in accordance with certain pre-established potentials. (Wikipedia)

It really doesn’t have to be this complicated! To evolve, is to grow. Learning a different way of looking at things. Opening one’s mind to the possibilities!

In summary

Jesus once said to reach the kingdom of heaven, we have to become like little children. A child is pure and open to seeing the truth in the matter. A child senses beyond the logical and feels into a situation. As a result, a child is in tune with what’s going on around them. They may not have the words to describe what’s happening, but they ‘know’.

In this ‘knowing’, one is able to see clearly. Life really isn’t complicated. We make it that way by trying to read things into a situation that’s not there.

In other words, become like a child and clearly see beyond the illusions.
