Hi!
Things have been falling into place recently…
In Nov 2006, I suddenly came to what felt like the end of the road I had been travelling on for a long time. During this time I had always been 'Mrs Fix it', especially in terms of people close to me. As soon as problems occurred, I fixed them. Then a point came where in the case of two of these people, I couldn't help them, there was in fact nothing I could do. I remember it was a huge shock. I didn't know what to do or how to handle it. I felt I was letting them down terribly, as I'd always been the 'rescuer'. I became quite desperate which in the end forced me to stop and listen. That's when it finally became obvious to me that I had identified myself with this part of my limited 3D mind and been controlled by it. This realisation caused a big shift in my perspective.
Now I understand the dream I had 35 years ago, in which I had been walking for a long time on a path across the sea, through storms and murky waves, when it eventually stopped dead. Just like that! I didn’t know what to do, so I went down on my knees and surrendered. I said ‘Thy Will be done’.
Anyway, after this realisation came a period during which it seemed nothing much changed; however, even though it may feel so, we never remain stationary! We are simply integrating our particular shift, rather like during the space between changing gears in a car. The transition in consciousness is a gradual procedure, consisting of a series of little continuous shifts, slowly lifting the veil that little bit more, freeing us from the control the 3D mind's has over us.
Then this Easter there was a noticeable ‘engaging’ into the next gear! The penny dropped, and I realised that I had simply still been using 4D truth to change 3D appearance! I was using my 3D mind, still trying to fix! I was still trying to change ‘bad’ to ‘good’. But 4D Truth cannot be used! It can only BE, through the form of the Witness. Acceptance of what IS. That is Surrender! When I identify with the Presence of my own Witness.
I didn’t realise I was still using the 3D approach, and yet, I should have, all the signs were there! Whenever we identify with either fear or desire, it’s the 3D mind in action! It is always trying to change the outer situation from ‘bad’ to ‘good’. And it will continue so until it is either exhausted or it comes up against a situation it can’t solve, before it finally surrenders to Love.
There is no 3D world, only a 3D interpretation of the 4D world. So all change takes place in consciousness! Change your perspective and an outer change follows!
Joel Goldsmith writes: “Nothing can come into our experience except through an activity of our own consciousness. It is through our consciousness that we entertain a sense of separation from God, from good – supply, companionship, wholeness and completeness – but it is also through our own consciousness, when we consciously make ourselves one with the Source of all good, that we are restored to this realised oneness with God. In his consciousness man neither lacks nor has. Within his consciousness he either separates himself from his good, or he meets up with his good. Whatever it takes, there fore, to fulfil him at his present level of life can come to him only through an act of his consciousness, and that act must be repeated again and again until eventually it culminates in conscious union with God.”
I’m re-reading Satyam Nadeen’s book ‘From Seekers to Finders’ and in the chapter ‘Interview: Shifting Without Effort’ he describes the Shift as:“The Shift into the fourth dimension is the change of identity from the dominance of the mind to the presence of the Witness, where you become an observer of life just as it is. Here, you are in choiceless awareness watching the third dimension happen, and the mind is simultaneously making its same judgements, but you no longer identify with them.”
Because, when you are identified with the Witness, you simply don’t have the urge to fix or change anything. You just watch life unfold into an inner balanced harmony. As Nadeen says: “Surrender to Life as it exists in reality is our only way home!” But it is not a passive surrender, it’s an active embrace of all that is, because it is”.
Eckhart Tolle says a similar thing:“Resist not evil” is one of the highest truths of humanity. This is the miracle: behind every condition, person, or situation that appears ‘bad’ or ‘evil’ lies concealed a deeper good. That deeper good reveals itself to you – both within and without – through inner acceptance of what is.”
A dialogue:
Accept what is.
I truly cannot. I’m agitated and angry about this.
Then accept what is.
Accept that I’m agitated and angry?
Yes. Bring acceptance into your nonacceptance. Bring surrender into your nonsurrender. Then see what happens.
In my case what happened is that these two people I couldn’t help have also had a noticeable shift in their perception.
Till next time!
