Growing A Happy Heart

Everybody wants to be happy. Sometimes that’s just not happening. And we struggle and suffer as we navigate this human experience of feeling very SEPARATE from everything and everyone. Because we feel separate from our happiness, we go about trying to find it. So we look for it in our relationships, our work, our possessions, our experiences- all the while not realizing what we are seeking is ALREADY HERE NOW. It’s WHO WE ARE...LOVE, JOY, PEACE, NONJUDGMENTAL PRESENCE, CONSCIOUSNESS, SOURCE, ALL THAT IS.

By LOOKING FOR happiness, it may tend to ELUDE us, or if we find it, it’s fleeting because we are looking everywhere but HERE NOW. The way to grow a happy heart is to OPEN to what’s already HERE NOW.

Imagine being a flower seed...you get put in the ground and watered. Arrrg! You scream, I’m being buried alive! I’m dying! You don’t realize the first stage of growing is to experience complete darkness, death to the seed, so you can sprout.

Then you finally do sprout, and you say, Whew! I can finally breath and stretch out. This is great! But then a thunderstorm arises out of nowhere, and you scream, WTF?! as you are tossed around feeling like you will drown. Soon the storm passes, and you go to sleep. When you wake up, you notice you have grown some leaves, which you feel very proud of.

So you look around and notice other leaves and flowers too. They are much bigger and prettier than you, and you begin to feel insignificant and jealous. As nighttime comes, it gets very dark, and you start to feel afraid and alone. You say to yourself, This here being a plant is not so fun at all. In fact, it sucks!

The next day after you wake up, you notice your head has formed into a bloom. You get very curious because you have no idea what’s happening. You’re not really sure if this is a good or bad thing. After all, there’s a big ball where there wasn’t one the day before. So you start thinking again, back and forth, good or bad? All this RESISTANCE to your round bloom head is giving you a headache! Finally you give up resisting the ideas of good or bad and say, IT IS WHAT IT IS, and relax and fall asleep.

The next day, you open you eyes and say, OMG! What in the world? I AM OPENING. Check me out! I got color! I’m FANCY! Oh yeah! I AM one HAPPY flower!...because you realize no matter how afraid or alone or insignificant or jealous or confused you felt... you ARE a FREAKING FLOWER that shouts to the sun with color!

Is World Peace Even Possible?

World Peace is ENTIRELY possible because WE ARE PEACE. However as humans we are BLINDED by the illusion of separation. We can’t see the picture because we are in the frame. We can’t see the forest for the trees. We are walking through our individual journeys as Source in skin, navigating feeling separate from everything and everyone, looking around at all the corruption, crime, war, poverty, human suffering.

From our human viewpoint, world peace seems impossible and insane, and if there is a remote chance that it will happen, we feel it will be a long time coming. So some people try to cook up plans using human methods to deal with this human issue. Not gonna work that way! We cannot work within our LIMITED human logic, abilities and resources to solve problems that were created as humans to begin with.

The way we will experience world peace is by OPENING to who we ALREADY ARE. We will first do this on an individual basis, then begin operating from our true nature as ONE. We OPEN to our Divine LIMITLESS nature by BEING PRESENT with LOVE and ACCEPTANCE to whatever arises HERE NOW. As we wake up from this illusion of separation, we flow together from our limitless nature which IS PEACE. It won’t be difficult to accomplish at all because we are no longer trying to achieve something out there that is already here now. We will flow as SUPER HUMANS in the LOVE that WE ARE as ONE. This is how we create a new earth.

Thank You, Cory Roussel!

Many of you may or may not know that my middle son Cory Roussel died in October 2014. For me, it was a powerful AWAKENING experience, and a turning point to help me do what I came here to do in this human lifetime. Cory and I have been working together for many lifetimes, and he is still very PRESENT for me, guiding me very expertly along the way.

He lived a very dramatic and profound life. To look at it, people may perceive that it was very reckless and foolish at times, but I can see now that it was very intentional and necessary. I now realize that whatever someone experiences in this lifetime, is EXACTLY what they came to heal in the collective. Along with his intense experience with addiction, homelessness, incarceration, was his powerful journey of TRANSFORMATION. And as he was going through his transformation, he brought me along with him so that he could prepare me for his exit and our continued work together. Although we did not consciously say this while he was in his body, it was as if he was my guru and still is.

This past week, I have been re-reading some of his writings and thinking about the things that he tried to relate to me when he was still alive in his body. At the time, I couldn’t understand a lot of it. Having gone through so much opening and expansion into who I AM, I can now understand what he was talking about.

What strikes me is how INCREDIBLY PROFOUND HE IS. He was light-years beyond what most of humanity can comprehend. I feel very grateful and honored to work with him. Together we’re doing amazing things! We are literally CREATING A NEW EARTH.

Competition and Collaboration

Competition is a BIG DEAL for us humans. There is nothing wrong with competition. It has brought us to where we are now in our evolution. Yet, as we continue to evolve, what was once our necessary framework and vehicle of journeying, has now become our LIMITATION.

This concept is like an oak tree that is sprouted in a small pot. The pot is where the seed receives its nutrients, water and conditions for it to sprout. The pot is important so that the seed can get what it needs without all of the water leeching away from it. Once the seed sprouts, it’s critical that the seedling be transplanted into fertile ground with the proper conditions. The pot is no longer useful for the tree to grow. In fact, if we leave the tree in the pot, it will eventually become so root bound and unable to expand that the very thing that helped it to sprout is limiting it from growing and eventually it will DIE.

This is where we are in our human evolution. We have come very far in our technological advancements, and we’ve done it through competition. However, through this process, we’ve also created a lot of human suffering in the form of poverty, hunger, environmental destruction, war, crime- all fueled by our human greed and hunger for power.

Underneath this Greed and Power is our human feeling of not having enough, of being separate from everything and everyone. Underneath this feeling of not having enough is the feeling of not BEING ENOUGH, or our UNWORTHINESS. It is a universal human feeling, and we all have different ways of addressing this feeling of unworthiness and inadequacy.

Going back to our human poverty, hunger, environmental issues, there is currently available the technology to address all of these issues. Actually, people aren’t going hungry and poor because there’s not enough food and money. People are hungry and poor because the food and wealth is not DISTRIBUTED properly. Why? Because our current system relies on competition, which is fueled by greed and power, which is generated from our universal feeling of Unworthiness and feeling SEPARATE from everything we need and want.

We cannot and will not solve human problems by operating within the framework that created the problems to begin with. In order to implement this technology that is ready and waiting for us to end world hunger and poverty and environmental destruction, we must experience a SHIFT in HUMAN CONSCIOUSNESS.

How do we do this? It must occur on an INDIVIDUAL level. As each of us EMBODY the LOVE that we are by being PRESENT with LOVE and ACCEPTANCE for all of the human parts of ourselves that feel so SEPARATE as they arise HERE NOW, we wake up to our LIMITLESS nature as ONE.

From this place of Oneness, Unity, Awareness, Consciousness, Love that WE ARE, we no longer feel the need to COMPETE with one another. Instead, we begin COLLABORATING because we understand there’s enough for everyone. We begin to operate from the place of BEING ALL THAT IS. This is how we create a new earth!
