This morning, as my husband was getting ready for work, he asked me
if it was OK to wear such dark clothes. Whether it was the wrong
time of year. I laughed and told him that this was one of
those "traditions" that have only served to control us. Then I said
that I still think every once in awhile about the tradition of not
wearing white shoes after Labor Day. I actually thought that the
tradition was to not wear white shoes until Easter but my girls set
me straight. Not because I ever told them such a thing but they
somehow knew about it anyway. All three in agreement on it as being
the way it is.
They have learned it through other means. GOD knows how. These
traditions are entrenched in our lives and we rarely take the time to
wonder why or how they became so controlling of our thoughts and
actions. The light went on in my brain and I real-eyesed that all of
these traditions are actually control mechanisms. They are patterns
that cause us to conform to strange regimens. Doing as we've always
done because someone, at sometime convinced us that these were
the "things" to do or believing in traditions that came from
somewhere in our lives. GOD knows where and when.
I just looked up the definition of the word "tradition" in the
dictionary. The original meaning of this word and number one on the
list is: a surrender or betrayal. This was an Oh My GOD moment as I
read what this word really means. So many of us get all fuzzy and
warm over the idea of traditions. We think of them as a good thing
that keeps us tied to one another. Not in a negative sense but in a
heartfelt sense.
I'm here to tell you that they do indeed keep us bound to one
another. I spoke with some of my Good/GOD friends over the Christmas
season and all of them expressed similar sentiments. That they
didn't fit in the same way anymore. That they didn't enjoy the
Celebrations in the same way that they used to. Those people without
family around them during the holidays go through an extended period
of grief and loneliness. "Traditions" are just reminders to them of
what they don't have in their lives. Easter does the same thing to
many of us. It brings up the ideas that we have to recreate
something from the past in order to be a part of the revelry and
welcomed to the world party.
I don't know about you, but April flew by for me, the busyness in a
church during the holiday seasons is mind boggling and mind
numbing. All of you have noticed that in the stores, they are
pushing the holidays of all kinds earlier and longer than ever
before. To get us thinking, remembering the "traditions". To get
our minds off of other things. To keep us in strange states and
strangleholds of old patterns of thinking.
The ones without family and especially children often think of
themselves as missing something. It brings a deep heartache and
depression into their hearts and minds of not fitting in to the
Norman Rockwell vision of what it is supposed to be. It brings up
memories of times gone by, some good, some bad. If we have family
and children we work our tails off to recreate the fuzzy heartwarming
traditions, we cook and eat traditional foods and we pack up boxes of
holiday stuff to put in storage for the next go around. If we take
the time to go within on the subject of traditions, we realize that
we don't live up to the "perfect" family either and never really did.
The people who consider themselves New Agers don't like to talk about
the negative parts of life. They want to believe that if they ignore
it, that it doesn't/won't exist. It causes them horrific letdowns
when the dark nights of the Soul come upon them. That they must not
be doing something that they should be doing to keep the dark
thoughts at bay. They are constantly searching for that magic
mantra, that magic potion that will make everything alright. That
will keep them always in the light and not in the darkness. Ever
searching for that Shangri-la kind of life.
Thank GOD many are now seeing that thinking in the New Age Way has
brought them to new levels of understanding. They have been working
at breaking the old patterns that have kept them stuck in repetitious
cycles and they are recreating new ways of being. This is a major
step in real-eyesing what matters and what can be left by the
wayside. New Age thought has its value but it is not complete for
our dark side is very real and there is darkness in the world as
well.
I thought that this Message had a different title. I had named
it "Knock Three Times" but GOD told me that it was to be called
Ghostbusters. I still balked at changing it this morning as I worked
on it. For lunch I bought some egg drop soup and took it back to
work with me. As I reached for the phone, my fingers caught on the
lip of the cup and it went all over me, head to toe. As I was
driving home to change my clothes I asked GOD why in the world I was
going through that particular mess. GOD told me that I would know
soon. It was only after giving it further thought that I realized
that I had been slimed, for egg drop soup is really slimy. The
ghosts in the movie Ghostbusters slimed those that got too close to
them. I could see the connection to what I was to understand about
the rest of this Message.
Most of you can relate to the story of The Christmas Carol by Dickens
and the ghost of Christmas past. How the main character Scrooge has
to relive all of the dastardly deeds that he had done in his life in
the past. What I am finding with myself and many of my friends are
that we are having to deal in a big way with the moments in our past
that have wounded us. So vividly that we are remembering things that
we had not thought about in many years. They are not all dastardly
deeds but for the most part those things in our past that have
fractured us in our present way of being, relating, and living our
lives.
GOD told me this afternoon that it is time to defragment ourselves.
That it is a necessary step to making progress in The Coming Days.
That it is time to deal with all of those past hurts that cause us to
react in extreme ways to seemingly insignificant events. If we want
to have clear vision and focused hearts and minds we are going to
have to do the inner work to heal all of these wounds within
ourselves.
It is difficult work to dig this deep. To see everything for what it
was and recognize that we no longer have to let it hurt us. That we
were who and what we were and it made us into the people that we are
today and that all of these injuries of the past keep us stuck in
places that do not bring us happiness in our lives. That the
fractures in our hearts are going to keep us from being all that we
can be. Especially when it comes to knowing Love and being Love. For
as GOD told me the other morning "Love is a luxury that we can't
afford to miss".
We have been stuck in cages or boxes for all of recorded history. We
have been taught and conditioned to believe that carrying on
traditions and reliving old memories is a good thing. That by
repeating patterns, we will somehow make progress, but this is a lie
and it is one of the most deadly lies that we are facing as we move
further down our individual paths toward Oneness with Divine
Creator. We are being called to be the systems busters. With all of
our heart.
We are being called to usher in a new way of being. It means that we
must leave our comfort zones. It means that we must look into every
nook and cranny of ourselves. It means that we will only access the
Keys to the Kingdom if we unlock the keys to our personal cages of
old patterns in our lives. The Dark Ones exist my friends, within us
and without. They are the pattern holders, the systems keepers, the
tradition perpetuaters. They are the ones who tell us that we must
maintain the status quo. That we must keep up old traditions that
bind us to the hamster wheel. Going around and around and never
getting anywhere.
It is time to break the chains of the old cycles and these types of
changes always make us fear the worst. That is the delusion that is
keeping us in our cages instead of encouraging us to fly. We imagine
that we can't possibly make this break. That we are not strong
enough, brave enough to fight such a huge battle. But I tell you,
the systems are rotting from within. The foundations are crumbling
as more and more Hu-mans Being Awaken to the deception that has been
keeping us prisoners of our own making. They will become as fragile
as castles in the sand as the tides of time churn in accord with our
re-creating what we know to be the way that GOD meant for us to be
and live as Hu-mankind.
Eventually as we each do our inner work, aligning ourselves with all
that is Good/GOD and making progress on our paths we will have
greater understanding of the delusion. We will understand that the
these chains that have bound us are being loosened. That we have the
Keys to the Kingdom within us and always have but we didn't real-eyes
it. That heaven and hell are states of mind. That the ghosts of our
past have to be exorcized. That the deadly patterns in our lives
only enslave us and that we can and will rise to the challenge of re-
creating the original Blueprint of GOD.
The Bible people are hoping for, focusing on, and creating
Revelations. The downtrodden are hoping for, focusing on, and
creating Revolution. I choose to hope for, focus on, and create Re-
Evolution. What do you choose? For what we choose we will create.
It will all occur at the same time and be seen according to our
beliefs and focus. Do we evolve or do we put an end it all. This Hu-
man Experiment that we are all taking part in.
There is a saying that has come up often in the last few weeks that
says "the proof is in the pudding". I'm not sure where that one came
from for it makes no sense to me. But my husband said that it was
better explained in a different way. "The proof is in the putting".
We will achieve what we put our energy into. If we always do as
we've always done, we'll always get what we've always got. I don't
know what wise person came up with that one but I find it to be the
Honest Truth. So help me GOD. GOD help us all.
