Perception and Awareness

In everything that I do, I look to my guide for inspiration, so all my teaching, readings, writing is always a collaboration between the two of us and today I want to talk to you about perception and awareness. Over the many years of me doing readings and being allowed into the very private aspects of people’s lives, I have come to understand that not everyone has the same perception of the world around us. And because our perception creates our reality, not everyone experiences the world in the same way.

We totally underestimate the power of the creative energy of the Great I Am. We are all spirit beings, which means that we are all emanations or extensions of the energy of the Great I Am, and that makes us all extremely powerful creative beings. So we need to become consciously aware of how we use the energy around us which in turn creates the reality of our world. Our thoughts, the things we say to ourselves and how we express ourselves has a huge impact on how we experience our lives.

One thing my guide always tells me is to always get all the facts and it’s great advice. The more you know about something happening in your life, the better equipped you are to deal with it. As human beings, we are all naturally programmed to always see the danger in everything. It is in our DNA, it is our modis operandi for survival. And so when something is happening to us that we’re unsure of, our first instinct is to see it as a threat and we immediately interpret it as a bad thing, something negative – we are in danger. And when this happens, we need to consciously make an assessment of what is happening, so that we can dispel our fears and not allow ourselves to be dominated by our fears – not to allow our actions to be influenced by our fears. So bringing your awareness to what is happening and first finding out if it is an actual threat or is this just your perception, will help you to create a healthier and more calm reality for yourself.

So an example, I often have people ask me for a reading because they believe that someone is blocking them or they’ve encountered some seriously negative energy around them. However, when we do the reading, the seriously negative energy they encountered often turns out to be a loved one trying to connect. And it is just because they don’t feel the connection to that loved one, they believe automatically that this is a negative spirit trying to do something to them. Also through the kind advice and inspiration from the guides, we get to understand that the blockages being experienced are in fact being created by the individual themselves and not an outside source. We need to be very aware of how much of our power we hand over to someone else. When we’re not completely in control of our lives, we so easily feel out of sorts, we feel like the things happening to us are because of outside sources and essentially we see ourselves as victims.

As we are now completing going into the Age of Aquarius which is dominated by the seventh ray, we are all beginning to really feel the effects of the seventh ray. This ray is the ray of ceremonial order and is dominated by St Germain. We are being influenced by the power of this ray which demands that we all stand up and take responsibility for our own lives. This means that we need to hold ourselves accountable for all our actions and interactions. And the only way that we can completely be accountable and responsible for our lives, is to understand how much our perception influences our reality.

Each of us has a personal truth and we all have a way in which we navigate the world. Taking a deep look at yourself and understanding what your personal truth is, will you give you greater insight into how you navigate the world, why you do what you do, why you automatically default to certain emotions, why it is that you feel blocked, why it is that you can’t create the world you want. So if your personal truth is that you are not deserving of being loved, interestingly that is the energy that you will put out into the universe and that is what will be reflected and sent back to you – it’s what you will draw into your space. In this instance you will likely find yourself always struggling with relationships, whatever those relationships are and you will probably feel like you’re always on the back foot and that you kind of come second to everyone else. The universe is a term that is loosely used, but essentially the universe is the spirit world, it is the universal consciousness, it is the all creative energy of the Great I Am, our father / mother God.

Therefore, we need to treat this energy with respect and the only way to do that is to be completely aware of everything about yourself and your life. Being aware, controls your perceptions and when your perceptions are controlled, your reality more easily becomes aligned with your higher self and the higher realms of the universal consciousness. You become so much more plugged into your true essence. You get to understand your absolute truth and know what your chosen path is in the lifetime. And when that alignment is made, everything else in your world just slots into place.

You know – we are our own worst enemies. I have a beautiful client who has become a friend – so many of my clients do – and for the last two years, he has dedicated himself to studying to be a Deacon in a special order of Monks – to be honest, I can’t remember the name of the institution, but I suppose it’s not serious. Two weeks ago, he completed his last assignment and had an interview with the Bishop and two other high dignitaries. Because he hadn’t heard back from them five days later, he got me to do a reading for him. He had become so anxious thinking that he would not be accepted . My guide and his grandmother that came through, told him he had nothing to worry about and he found out the very next day that he had been accepted. My guide also told him to not be afraid to ask the Bishop if a decision had been made – again, finding out the facts. What had happened with him was that he had been having all these variations of internal dialogue that had sent him to automatically expect the worst outcome – our way to survive in this world, expect the worst, then we won’t be disappointed. Also, then when it does come, it re-affirms our personal truth and for him, his personal truth is that he’s not worthy. So that is something that he needs to work on.

Fortunately it is easy to change your personal truth. You are able to change it. It isn’t something that is written deep into your DNA. And of course you do this by seeing yourself for the beautiful pure and perfect spirit being that you are. Understanding that it is your birthright to live a happy and fulfilled life that brings you everything that you want. It is all about understanding too that everyone is struggling through this life in one way or another. It is the reason we are here. Those people who appear to be sailing through their life, are just more adept at hiding the confusion, the hurt, the disappointment, the anger, the sadness – all those negative emotions that we all experience. But knowing that our experiences do not define who we are, gives us the strength to stand in our power and to manage our perceptions which alters our reality.

I invite you all to start working on becoming consciously aware of your life. It takes some practise and it takes some discipline, but eventually it becomes as natural as taking in a breath. One way to change your negative thinking or seeing your life in a negative manner is to start a little gratitude journal. Keep it next to you bed and every night before you go to sleep write down five positive things that happened to you that day. In the beginning it will be really difficult to find them, but as you go along, you will start to see yourself becoming more aware of the positive aspects of your life. This is a very powerful exercise as it actually changes the pathways in your brain and strengthens your awareness of the beauty in your life and limits your default reaction to all new experiences in your life.

Thank you for listening – I hope that together my guide and I have brought some enlightenment to you today and some things to think about.

Know that you are all perfect and that every day we are being inspired and guided – we just need to practise making it a habit to be consciously aware of ourselves, all the time.

Remember to get the facts and question everything in your life. Take control of your power and use the creative energy around you, with conscious awareness every day.
