Starseeds: Understanding Your Mission & Roles On Earth

What does it mean to be a starseed or lightworker, and what is the core mission? 

A shift is taking place. Humanity is changing. Around the world people are realizing that previous paradigms are not working and we must change our way of living in order to survive.

During this time, many people identify themselves as lightworkers and believe that they are here on a mission to help change the world. In simple terms, a lightworker is a person who chooses to change the world by raising the vibration of the self and others. There are many paths to higher vibration and all of them are viable: it is not the details of how you get there, but the outcome that is of greatest importance.shutterstock_420305578

An important thing to understand about this article is that, like any parable, it offers a framework to help you understand the mission and what is going on, using language and pictures that you are familiar with.

We do not presume to speak unequivocally for all lightworkers: we merely wish to create some structure that will help people understand the new world they find themselves living in, and importantly, the things they are experiencing in their lives. We also emphasize that as the creator, you have choice about which path draws you.

Understanding common terms helps us surge forward as a collective group.

When we have definitions and a vocabulary, we waste less time explaining ourselves, and the semantics of terminology, and more time talking about what really matters to us all – the issues that have brought us together as a collective.

As you’ll learn about the morphic field below, having a unified thought structure enables us to form a stronger and more united presence in the global energetic field as well – basically reading and understanding the framework allows you to connect via the morphic field to others who have done the same.

The Illusion of Linear Time: Understanding Time as A Dimension

Time is one of those key spiritual concepts that you realize early on in your journey is important, but it takes time (sic?), repetition and peeling back layers to understand.

So how do you understand time as a dimension – and why is it even important to understand it?

time-slowing

One of the very first lessons you learn about time on your journey is that time is relative – if you’re having a blast, time tends to fly by, and when you’re miserable and don’t want to be somewhere, time can tend to drag.

Eventually this concept of relativity actually becomes a tool that you can play with: you learn to slow down time to get more done or you go into time slips, where time seems to disappear and you just seemed to race forward to a point in time that you want to be at – instant manifestation.

At first these experiences happen quite unconsciously, but after a while you begin to recognize the patterns, and eventually you learn how to trigger and interrupt these patterns.

Why does it matter?

As you play with time and any of the big concepts more and more, eventually you begin to think about them in a different way, seeing them in a whole new light.

This understanding of fundamental concepts contributes to your big picture understanding of the world, helping you to eventually put together the whole big picture of spirituality and how it fits into our lives.

The more you understand how it works, the easier it is to work the system and use it to improve your day-to-day life. Continue reading

7 Common Misconceptions About Wiccans and Witchcraft

It’s amazing how many misconstrued assumptions about something can turn into “fact” when enough people repeat them. Witchcraft and Wicca are looked at with questionable, and oftentimes worrisome glances due to the amount of misinformation floating around out there.

 As someone who practiced Wicca for over a decade, I would like to set the record straight about a few of the more widely-spread inaccurate misconceptions. Keep in mind, as with any other religion, there are bound to be some aspects left up to debate. 

First, let’s take a look at what Wicca and witchcraft really are before we go on to clarify what they aren’t.

Wicca and witchcraft have much in common, but they are not exactly the same. Someone can be a witch, without being a Wiccan, just like someone can be a Christian, without being a Protestant. Wicca has been a recognized religion since the 1950’s, and is based on ancient witchcraft traditions and rituals.

Some of these traditions stem from Celtic origins, but that doesn’t mean Wicca is necessarily connected to the Celts or the Druids, though there are specific Celtic-Wicca denominations within the religion.

Despite what some might think about Wicca, it is actually a very peaceful and harmonious way of life. They see the universe as a balanced entity and promote oneness within all living beings and things. In fact, practicing Wicca is what brought to me my spiritual path; there are many similarities between Wicca and spirituality. You’ll see what I mean, as I continue to shine light on the subject at hand.

Wicca can be practiced either in a coven, or on your own. If you’re not one for social gatherings or don’t know where to find a local coven, I recommend Scott Cunningham’s book, “Wicca: A Guide for the Solitary Practitioner” This book contains everything you need to know for living life magically, spiritually, and wholly attuned with nature.shutterstock_323994410

Now that we’ve gone over the very basic definition of Wicca, let’s get down to those misconceptions. All of which, I have heard far too often in life.

Understanding The Spiritual Ego: Is Your Own Ego Outsmarting You?

As we get deeper and further along on our spiritual path, our ego has no choice but to become sneakier in the ways it takes form, especially if we have a tenacious ego.

The first time I realized how incredibly strong my ego is was the first time I tried psychedelic mushrooms. I laugh now when I think about how sneaky my ego tried to be that day. It was me and a couple of friends who decided to eat some mushrooms on the beach. Within the hour they were both feeling the effects but I felt nothing. If you’ve ever done psychedelic mushrooms as spiritual practice, you know that eventually your ego is essentially thrown up and all you’re left with is the eyes of love; your ego is completely stripped away from your being.

What I now know is that my ego fought the mushrooms with all its might, so much so that it tried to convince me that the reason I wasn’t feeling the effects was because I was “called to hold the space” for the ones who were. Of course to my ego, being called to hold the space meant I was more “spiritual” than my friends, which my ego clinged onto for dear life, until it eventually left my body. My ego revealed its true colours to my higher self that day.

However, you don’t have to do psychedelics to find out how sly your ego can be. There are things you can look out for on your journey to forming a harmonious relationship with your ego.

If you’re reading this article then chances are you have learned that love is power, positive thinking yields positive results, and that fear is an illusion. You have probably learned 101 ways to keep your ego in check, how to raise your vibration, the secret to opening your third eye, etcetera…etcetera. As we acquire this knowledge, this spiritual knowledge if you will, we find that it actually works and our eyes become wide open. We become acutely aware. Aware of the people who don’t live the “spiritual” way, the people who are drowning in sorrow, the people who play the victim, the people who are afraid, the people who don’t understand “the secret”-the destruction of our planet, the greed, the lies, the mistreatment of animals, the shady politicians.

How to Find Real Peace in A World of Complete Chaos

Over the past few years, almost every single person I’ve dealt with has had the same set of complaints:

  • either everything in their life is going completely wrong, or one major area of their life has collapsed while the other areas are going okay;
  • they feel stuck;
  • they feel uncertain about their future;
  • they are reevaluating their intimate relationships and changing masculine and feminine roles; and
  • they are reevaluating their relationship to money, attachments and things, usually including career path. Many here also feel the pull to healing and spiritual work.

Do you recognize yourself yet?

Why does it matter?Screen Shot 2016-05-06 at 12.58.03 PM

The moment you have a belief that separates you from everyone else, then the attack becomes personally about you.

The moment you feel attacked, your ego engages and then all the ego emotions set in: fear, doubt, shame, vulnerability, humiliation, embarrassment, resistance, anger, frustration, judgement, guilt, impatience, jealousy, envy and more – the list goes on and on and on. Continue reading

Understanding How Time, Choice & Destiny Changes Our Lives

Understand time, fate, choice and destiny and how they apply to our spiritual growth.

Time

Time is a geography – it’s a place or space in which events happen.

If time as a space didn’t exist, we wouldn’t have the space in which to experience events as individuated or separated. So time gives meaning by giving space around an experience, and creating isolation in which you are able to experience that feeling or emotion.

time

The removal of the space of time would cause a collapse of all the separated events into ALL-that-is, which would mean that they would all happen at once, and they’d already be over.

To help you understand this, it helps to work with the concept of eternity as it is taught in texts like Kabbalah and A Course In Miracles.

Eternity is NOT a measure of time – eternity exists outside time. It is eternal changelessness, or the absolute absence of time and separation.

Time is a mechanism that enables you to see and measure change – eternity is changelessness and already completed unity, the expression of self as ALL-that-is.

Fate, choice & destiny

So the best analogy I’ve found for time, fate, choice and destiny combined is to think of it all like a roleplaying video game.Space-Time

Each lifespan is programmed like a character in the game, so there’s a path you follow, but you have a choice of actions and the route you take. It doesn’t matter which direction you go in either, because every possibility of every choice has already been programmed into the character or lifespan.

As you make your choices as you go along life, they attract certain energies to you, because all your fated spiritual experiences are already lined up and waiting in a row for you to experience across your lifetimes. The energies you attract and amalgamate into yourself will draw the next best fated spiritual experience into your reality now.

So yes, there are fated experiences, but these are actually staggered across the full span of all your karmic lifecycles. By attracting different energies towards you, you can speed up the movement of these fated spiritual experiences towards you.

spiritual-evolution_OMTimes_bigstock-Flight-Of-Butterfly-Girl-53691094This then enables you to move through a number of your incarnations’ lessons rapidly in a single lifetime. It’s also where the feeling of feeling like a new person, or that you’ve started a whole new life, comes from after spiritual breakthroughs. You have literally ‘unlocked’ your next spiritual life with the energies you’ve integrated.

Choice comes in that you can choose the order of the lessons, which path you will follow and whether your experience is positive or negative. Continue reading
