Several years ago I was sitting next to our vegetable "energy"
garden working with my husband, Wayne, on our annual planting
of the garden. We always work together at this process as we each
have our specific talents and contributions to offer. We both
connect with the Overlighting Deva (Angel) of the vegetable garden,
and I specifically connect with the Nature Spirit (Elemental)
of each variety of vegetable going into the garden. As we were
going about the process of asking where each variety would be
planted and how many of each variety would go into each row, I
temporarily found myself being removed from the garden work and
being shown a scene far away.
For days, I had been asking for clarity on several questions
that were surfacing on why life seemed to be breaking down. By
this, I am referring to the times when we are doing our soul's
work; staying in touch with Spirit's guidance and promptings;
and basically being open to change. With all of this supposedly
being on track - instead of bliss being what we experience - why
is it that crisis and chaos is that which our lives seem to be
attracting? I kept asking, "What are we doing wrong?" Have you
ever felt the need to ask that question?
What I was shown in this intuitive scene before me was beautiful.
Yet, it was contradictory to what I thought I understood truth
to be.
The Angel, Jodah, was showing me how to live in harmony on Earth
and in our highest good. He shared:
"Dear ones, when anyone chooses to work with Spirit to
manifest anything into the physical plane (love, forgiveness,
an idea, or perhaps simply a new puppy), the first lesson to
understand is that of surrender. I say surrender because you
now find yourselves in a time of much change and fluctuation.
You ask for help in manifesting a plan or idea you have. But,
you hold onto your ideas of how the plan should appear once
it has manifested into the material plane. Your ideas of perfection
come from the past that is no longer working. In surrender,
you will find new insights, creativity, and energy to manifest
your plans and ideas. It is now time to move into the energy
of Divine Will that is the balanced and grounded Will of the
Universe. As you move into the energy of Divine Will and learn
to stay in that energy, you will experience the unfolding of
your plans from a new understanding. This is not to say that
your plans and their outcome will always appear lovely and orderly.
Quite the contrary, much is in turmoil at this time. Things
do not always look orderly. But, as you stay in the energy flow
of Divine Will verses the old ego-based place of Free Will,
you will know that what is unfolding is indeed "God's plan".
This is true for you, and for all of humanity. The illusion
of life, as it has been experienced in the past, is that which
is falling away at this time. By staying in the energy of Divine
Will verses Free Will, you will feel more in harmony with the
unfolding of the new planetary energy that is upon us now. In
accepting the power of Divine Will, you will be carried through
the changes within the current of Spirit rather than paddling
upstream using the energy of Free Will. Trust that all is as
it should be; you are doing nothing wrong. God's plan is unfolding,
and you are all an integral part of it."
Jodah
As soon as I found myself back at the garden, I quickly went
to my desk and recorded everything that I was told and shown.
Whenever I begin to feel disconnected and ungrounded, I immediately
remember these words offered by Jodah. The scene in my mind that
I received appeared as follows - as best as I can describe it:
I was shown a large, beautiful, clear river with a bank on either
side. I was told that the river represented Divine Will and the
banks, Free Will. Along the banks were many trees, a lot of underbrush,
and large rocks. It appeared to be a very difficult place to walk.
The river, on the other hand, had a smooth and calm appearance.
The water flowing down the river was bright blue and very clear.
I saw myself in this river and felt peaceful and at ease with
my surroundings. After a short while of observing the scene with
myself in the river, I saw myself move out of the center of the
river and go toward the bank. As I did, I could feel myself become
agitated and nervous. A good deal of anxiety came over me. I was
feeling both experiences: the first was calm and peace - a oneness
with my surroundings; the second, fear and anxiety - a sense of
isolation and separateness.
I was told by the Angel Jodah to move back into the river. As
soon as I did, the anxiety I had felt near the bank subsided and
the feeling of peace returned. It was then that I was told that
in choosing to stay in the river, I was choosing to let go of
the illusion of separation from Divinity. When you choose to merge
and work with Divine Will, you will no longer experience a feeling
of separation from "All that Is". It has only been an illusion
that you ever were separated. This feeling of separation comes
from the ego level when you think that you must travel to your
destination along the banks of the river.
In that brief moment, not only was I shown the river of Divine
Will, but I was experiencing the feel of it as well. The Angel
Jodah went on to say that either choice - either path - was blessed
and would ultimately lead to the same destination. The ease in
your journey was the real difference in the two paths being offered.
For me, and all of us, the question becomes, "Do I choose to
surrender to the Will of Divinity, flowing along to my destination?
Or, would I choose to continue to work with the concept of Free
Will and the illusion of separation, as I travel alone, along
the banks of the river hiking, passing through the heavy and difficult
underbrush and climbing up the cliffs?" This seemed like an easy
decision at the time - put on the floaters and step into the river.
There appeared to be only one problem. That problem is all of
the baggage we carry around with us - negativity, judgment, misunderstandings….
making it sometimes difficult to float freely downstream. In fact,
it may feel as if our baggage is so heavy that it is pulling us
under the water. This is when our ego-based survival understanding
kicks in and makes us want to get out of the river and back to
the bank. It feels more comfortable on the shore (what is known).
It seems easier to walk up hill, rather than surrender and float
into the unknown.
This is where I was shown that as you feel your issues coming
up, one method of lightening your baggage is with the use of vibrational
essences. Their purpose is to assist us in transmuting and releasing
our negativity, misunderstandings, etc., thus raising our vibrational
levels. This brings us into alignment with the vibrational level
of God - Love. The lighter we become (less issues), the easier
it will be for each of us to stay in the River of Divine Will.
