Changing Lanes

[madonnafra]

My family and I will be moving shortly. Everyone is amazed that we are
making such a big move on faith. It is something that many Light Workers are
experiencing in their lives. Portents of Change. Something new and different
in
the wind. Something that we have been expecting all of our lives. Many of us
having been seeing visions of things that will happen or possibly have the
chance of happening. The Tides will turn according to how big the volunteer
corp is for GOD. It is all on a volunteer basis. We must be willing to do our
personal assignments without expectations or limitations.

There is no price to pay. No Deed to Do that is not within our abilities;
for GOD doesn't Guide us to do anything that is beyond us. GOD presents
something before us and nudges, urges, us to follow through. It is scary
sometimes
for it tests the very mettle of who we are. GOD reveals to us how our life
long training is the foundation for keeping our balance. How we volunteered for
this long ago. We know deep down that we did and we are scared out of our
wits sometimes at how much needs to be done. At how inadequate we feel inside
when we are facing the next challenge to be met.

It is GOD's honest Truth that miracles will happen in our lives when we need
them to continue on with our work. Amazing gifts that will drop at our feet
when we make the choice for GOD within. My family and I would not be moving if
GOD had not worked out so many wonderful and magical circumstances to make it
possible. It was in our wildest dreams that we held the vision of moving out
the city to a remote country location. We had no way of seeing that the
financial restrictions could possibly be removed in such a Way as to see the
divinity of the journey so clearly and lovingly. To see how GOD provides for
his
volunteers. Completely and in minute detail. By GOD's grace we will find
sanctuary and it is available for all who ask GOD to guide them. Who listen and
follow as they are guided and live a wholly different way of life.

It is time to compile a list of the signposts of the Spiritual Journey.
Experiences that we hold in common. Common Denominators that connect us to our
knowledge of GOD. Things that happened to us/ signs that we saw and continue
to see, that were/are otherworldly, supernatural and totally out of the blue.
There are only a select few people in our lives that we could ever imagine
sharing these with. Some of our experiences on the Path will make us sound
crazy. If they are our Truth we must be willing to defend them. Not go on the
attack against any one else but be willing to stand up for our principles, our
Truths. For there are many more of us here than we can possibly imagine. All
of us individually called to do our part, yet joined in common cause to
re-create what Once Was according to Divine Creation.

GOD tells me that there are signposts and milestones along the Way. We
haven't spoken of many of them, so we don't realize that we have experienced
similar growth spurts. That the Spiritual Path does not occur by happenstance
or
just to us. Many people will come to realize that they have achieved some of
these already and be encouraged to continue doing their volunteer work for GOD
by way of knowing that they have made progress.

Hu-mankind seems to need assurance that they have gotten somewhere and that
their efforts have not all been in vain. Being a GOD volunteer doesn't show up
in a worldly way. We don't get a certificate to hang on the wall or alphabet
soup behind our names. There is not much worldly recognition to keep the
juices flowing. To keep plodding away through the good times and the bad.
Usually coming out on the other side of what we originally perceived as a bad
time,
only later realizing that it was a necessary part of our lesson. That a
change of lanes is sometimes necessary to avoid an accident. The pile up. We
will often find ourselves in situations that we would never have dreamed would
come our way. Guided to be and do things that we can't imagine that we are
prepared for. It is imperative to Ask for help before jumping into anything.
There are far too many mysteries that we don't have complete understanding of
and
we may find ourselves in hot water if we don't Ask the questions before
jumping in with both feet.

The temptation to experiment is everywhere and a person on their Spiritual
Path will often find themselves playing with energies, that if not handled
properly, can bring harm. What appears on the surface to be fun and exciting
may
instead be dangerous to our well being. Thank GOD, I was assisted in every
situation that I brought onto myself in the spirit of experimentation. While I
wouldn't be the person that I am today if it hadn't been for what I have
learned over the years, there were unnecessary risks that I took out of
curiosity
and not Asking GOD for Guidance first.

Early on I was told by a woman that I had healing powers that were evident to
her from a Kirlean photograph that I had done. By GOD's grace she gave me one
of her business cards. I wouldn't know until days later how important this
would be. My sister-in-law called and asked me to come over for a visit. She
had just been to a psychic who told her that she was holding onto a bunch of
old personal garbage that could be released if she had someone rub her feet.
Without praying for protection first, I started to give her a foot massage.
My hands became extremely hot and she was ecstatic, saying that she could feel
the junk pouring out of the soles of her feet. I was full of myself and
prideful that I was able to help. About ten minutes after I finished rubbing
her
feet I started to feel sick to my stomach and realized that I needed to get
home. I almost didn't make it home that day.

Between the nausea, dizziness, and pounding headache I couldn't do anything
but lie down when I got home. I prayed for help, still not realizing exactly
what I had done and was told to call the lady that had given me her card days
before. She told me that I had taken on my sister-in-law's trash and that I
needed to go outside and release it into the ground. As soon as I did that I
felt better although I was worn out from the experience. She advised me never
to do a healing again without praying first to be protected. Unfortunately,
that wasn't the only time that I played around with energies that I shouldn't
have.

A year later, my girlfriend and I took our kids to the local Art Museum where
they had an exhibit of Egyptian artifacts. There were some steles, or grave
markers, arranged on the walls of the museum that were not under glass and I
thought that it would be interesting to touch one of them to feel the energy.
Just for kicks. I got kicked all right. Suffice it to say that I was back
outside releasing the stuff into the ground that night with a stiff inner
warning to be respectful of such things.

Attempting out of body experiences is another area that should only be done
with prayers of protection first. There are astral levels that one can access
that will frighten the hell out of us if we are not in the proper frame of
mind. I thought would be cool to experience it for myself and read up on in
order to get the technique right. Anyone can achieve it if they try hard enough
but OBEs are another thing that are not to be played around with without
discernment and Guidance. I have learned everything the hard way and they are
all lessons that I will never forget. It took me years to realize that making
my own decisions could get me into a lot more trouble then was necessary.
Especially when dealing with areas of the unknown.

Now I will list some of the more pleasant experiences that I have gone
through while walking my Spiritual Path. One of the first phenomena that I can
clearly remember is the blinking off and on lights in dark rooms. Like
fireflies
or sparkling stars. I also saw a particular color of blue when I would close
my eyes and would occasionally see with them open. I'm not sure of the
perfect description for that color of blue. The closest I can come up with is
Royal Blue.

I started to feel energy entering into the palms of my hands from rocks and
stones, trees, flowers, paper, plastics, metals. All different feelings.
Anything that I handled, that was life filled, had a pulse. Metals and
plastics
and anything man-made have more of buzzy feeling. Of course, these sensations
have continued to become even stronger as time has gone on.

Some energies are simply too overwhelming to be in contact with for extended
periods of time, especially in the beginning, so it pays to be prudent. For
awhile, I was touching everything I came in contact with just to feel the
energy of it. As I said previously, it wasn't always a good thing. We become
increasingly sensitive the more we focus our attention on our Spiritual Growth.
Some of us become ultra-sensitive and we begin to experience allergic
reactions in ways that we didn't before. Oftentimes we can't put our finger on
what exactly we are reacting to, for the symptoms and frequency are not
consistent. Headaches and body aches are frequent for many people.

While I was without a checking account for a time, I would have to use cash
at the grocery store. I was embarrassed too many times to count when I was
short of cash for the groceries and had to decide what to put back while the
people in line behind me glared at me. Or at least that was how it felt to me.
I
was mortified. So one day I asked GOD to help me know what to choose. I can
remember picking up packages of things and asking if they were something that
I should buy. When I asked and did as I was guided to do I would always have
enough money at the register. I have learned to Ask about everything now and
my life goes much more smoothly.

When I began to hear GOD within, I constantly questioned it. Mind you, I
was asking to hear GOD more clearly all the time. It isn't an automatic thing.
It must come from a heartfelt longing for it to happen. Each individual
going within, expressing the desire to understand what GOD is. I wanted to be
sure that I wasn't simply talking to myself. It is awesome that GOD doesn't
mind our questions.

Only when I would repeatedly ask a question, not trusting that I heard
correctly the first time did I ever feel a sense of slight impatience. I know
you
wouldn't think that GOD could ever be impatient. All I can tell you is that I
clearly knew when I'd asked the same question too many times. When I
could/should take GOD's word for it and stop questioning the answer. Not only
from my
one on One conversation but also from the many signs that I would be shown to
prove what I was being told and shown. GOD was patient with me while I
learned to Trust. GOD is patient with us all. Infinitely.

There are many steps on the Path. There are many people joining us, side by
side, coming from all walks of life. All of us hearing a Sacred voice within
that we are following to the best of our ability. All of us trying to find
ways to become more connected, clearer in our direct communication with our
Divine guidance. We have experienced similar bumps in the road. We have many
milestones in common. It helps us to know that we are not alone in the
physical. That we have a kinship with others in desiring to understand why we
are
here at this time and place. That GOD presents miraculous ways for us to meet
in order to support each other. That it is up to us to do the work on
ourselves first so that we will be ready to do whatever we are guided to do.
Perfectly prepared for whatever comes.

I will not be writing for awhile as a transition takes place, moving a large
family, dog, and belongings across the country. I have already been given
the final Message so I believe that this is the next to last. I could be wrong.
I never really know what GOD has in mind. I merely follow as I am guided.
I've seen things change at a moment's notice. Circumstances arise that I
could not have possibly envisioned on my own. Glad that I didn't see it all
ahead
of time because I would have had too much time to think and talk myself out
of it. I think that talking ourselves out of things is a very Hu-man trait.
We can't imagine rising to the occasion. Of being capable of making major life
changes at moments notice.

Hearing, and feeling GOD within will assist us in finding the courage to do
what we need to do. All volunteer, never forced by GOD to do anything yet
assisted in amazingly complex ways to carry on if we choose it. Thank GOD.

Blessings,
