Although the world is full of suffering,
it is full also of the overcoming of it.
My optimism, then, does not rest on the absence of evil,
but on a glad belief in the preponderance of good
and a willing effort always to cooperate with the good,
that it may prevail.
- Helen Keller

When all is said and done,
the one sole condition that makes
spiritual happiness and preserves it
is the absence of doubt.

One thing I've come to realize is I'm psychic. Not Kristy psychic where I can hear people talking and see spirits but I have a direct connection with the divine and Spirit talks to me mainly through channeling. Spirit also talks to me through signs, synchronicity and dreams. Oh also through other people, songs, movies and... well Spirit talks to me in any way that I will pay attention! I can be a bit, er, dense sometimes.
I feel compelled to use this blog post to give you a blanket statement that I will use forthcoming posts to explain in detail. To describe it all here would take you, dear reader, until tomorrow morning to read. My gems from Spirit are much better shelled out in small*ish* doses {I'm never brief!} What I have to tell you is nothing you have not heard before but... well, let me just get to it.
You must live a life of joy with no fear or doubt if you want to be truly happy. You must BELIEVE in your dreams, really truly believe, if you want them to come true. If you believe in God or a divine creator you must turn your fear and doubt over to said entity and trust that you deserve and will have a happy and joyful life. Why such a trite blanket statement? It's all about energy and attraction. Spirit often uses the phrase "You reap what you sow" with me and it is oh so true. What you think of most, concentrate on, where you place your energy, is what you draw to your life. If you concentrate most on how badly your job sucks then your job will become even more unbearable. If you begin telling yourself that you are lucky to have a job and turn the fear over to God then you will attract whatever change is coming your way. I know it sounds very base and simple... and nearly impossible but it's truth.
I'm no physicist okay? I can't sit here and explain to you about plank time or Big Bang Theory {the actual creation theory not the TV show- I love the TV show!} or parallel universes but I do know that were are all made of stardust, no matter that Adam and Eve story. The earth is not 6000 years old- and we are not all separate. We. Are. One. We all come from the same stuff- God energy. And it is a wonderful loving beautiful joyful energy. We are all linked, some us more closely than others. Soul mates, a topic for another post, exist and we interact with them sometimes on a daily basis- and these are people with whom we are energetically and soul connected. Not only are we linked with other people but basically with everything. Life is energy based and there are two major players: Love and fear. Big L small f. Love and fear are the two energies that exist on earth with all emotions stemming from each. For example you have happiness, compassion, empathy, all love-based energies. Then there is yucky jealousy, anger, doubt and sorrow, all fear-based energies. When you have a love-based thought you draw to you more love. But when you concentrate on fear the opposite is true- you bring fear into your life. So if you flip some guy off in traffic and your blood is boiling, fists clenched... you just asked for a hot latte to spill into your lap later in the day. Or to run out of gas. Or for your wallet to get stolen. But if you walk past a man sitting in the park looking hungry and ragged and you offer him some lunch, or you smile at the harried cashier and ask her with genuine concern how her day is going, or you say a prayer for someone who you know is struggling- you attract love to you, goodness. You attract a closer parking spot, or a drawing from your child, or a much needed smile from a stranger. Or bigger things like a promotion or a highly anticipated pregnancy.
We all know there is too much fear in our world. I don't feel the need to expand on fear. This post is about joy and belief. Joy and Belief... and Hope. Hope is the confident expectation that God will answer your prayers. God or... The Universe or The Force or whatever is your personal belief {or yes even non-belief.} A confident expectation. Think about it- a prayer, or positive intention or a ritual or manifestation or wish is all concentrating on what you want most so please make sure you are concentrating on the right stuff, positive energy that is for the good of all.
Doubt and fear, even in the tiniest of doses, automatically repel what you want most. When you have a dream but you doubt that it can come true then unfortunately it won't. It can't because you are not allowing it to come to you. See all energy has a vibration. Love energy has a high vibration and fear has a low vibration. You attract to you "stuff" of a similar vibration to what you are feeling and putting out into the universe, and you can't mix high and low vibration. If you have a positive dream {high vibration} but you doubt it {low vibration} those two are not going to jive; they cancel each other out. Savvy? I know this because I am living it, right here and right now. I am living a once-in-a-lifetime, or once in twenty-five lifetimes, experience where God is showing me that dreams do come true IF I BELIEVE. I'm being shown in small doses, lol, and it's been quite the experience. It's all about belief and living a joyful existence. And joy can be so difficult at times when we feel dark or dreary but I'm here to tell you, with faith and personal experience, that it is more important than the air we breathe- joy is everything. We have to believe that there is light at the end of the tunnel, that once we turn our fear over to God and have faith, real trust, magic really does happen.
Miracles occur on a daily basis but we don't notice. Spirit talks to all of us, urging us on with signs and messages but we write them all off as "coincidences." We have become jaded and it is time to strip away the veils from our eyes and really *see.* Did you know your soul is talking to you always? Your "intuition" and "imagination"- those words are labels for soul communication. Your soul is always trying to get through to you, to lead you on the right path to bring you happiness. And it's all about living a joyful existence no matter what life is throwing at you, and we all know that life can throw us some struggle at times. But the struggle will end when we finally surrender and accept that all we are in control of is our own energy- and we have to make it good energy. God's got the rest.
Impeccable awareness of where you place your energy is of utmost importance. Don't throw your energy away to some silly criticism your boss tossed your away. Or the traffic jam on the way home. Instead count your blessings {we all have blessings even when we feel like we don't} and stay joyful. I can't begin to express to you just how important it is- yet I am here attempting to tell you that peeps, IT'S ALL ABOUT BEING JOYFUL. No fear. No doubt. Fear and doubt are insidious joy-stealers. Manifestation-blockers. Dream-destroyers. Fear and doubt are of the dark and should be avoided at all costs.
In another post I will explain why I feel this way, what I've experienced to make me so passionate about sharing with you the need for joy in your life. I can tell you that recently I've been forced to strip away fear and doubt and fully believe for the first time in my life. I always called myself a "believer" but I didn't really trust God, and I got called out on it. In a big way. My walls are falling, finally, and I get it. And you will too. Protect your joyful energy at all costs. It is the energy that helps heal the world, your world and the world around you.
I've been manifesting lately and it comes as a shock to me because although I "know" stuff I didn't really believe it, and that ended up being a problem for me. I've been trying, oh so hard, to be joyful. And the happier I am the more what I ask for comes to me. I am experimenting with it now and I see it is real. Magic is real and it is energy-based. I feel I am "seeing" this so I can share the truth, that we are all very powerful beings with the ability to change our own lives if we would just try and concentrate on love and joy and faith and belief and hope. So give it a shot. I swear it's true, and it only took me ten years to discover. I "knew" it but I didn't believe it until my life got a shakedown like no other and I basically had no choice but to stand at attention- and I began truly seeing for the first time in my life that the world we see around us is not truly reality. It is what we allow to happen to us instead of us creating the world for ourselves. Don't let life happen to you- create your own world. And start by being joyful and thankful, and trust whoever or whatever is God to you. Love yourself and your neighbor... and that guy who just cut you off in traffic. Dance and sing and keep your energy elevated and watch as life begins to fall into place for you.
Just try it. Simple curiosity to start and as you notice change being created, good things happening to you or coming to you, make note and keep trying. I promise it's worth it. JOY. Belief. Love.
So very worth it for you and because we are all connected, for the world.
Love to all,
~Jennifer
