Why Am I All of Sudden Afraid of Spirituality?

spiritualitySarah Elkhaldy – “Why am I all of a sudden scared of spirituality lol.” This is one of the questions I received and a very relevant question as many people are currently at an intersection regarding their own spiritual evolution.

There is no one reason why people are scared of spirituality. What we call the new age movement today is not a cohesive unit. It’s a mosaic of different schools of thought that fall under the umbrella term of New Age. So, there are a host of different reasons why a person may fear spirituality including just by expanding our awareness into the fringe. Continue reading

Joe Martino ~ 8 Things To Remember When You Think You’re Not Good Enough

“When you understand how your belief systems work, you can also learn how to kick them.” – J Martino

WomanAthleteNotGoodEnoughNegative self talk is something that seems to affect all of us at one time or another. I know I can say myself that it has been a problem in my past, and even now still creeps up on me from time to time.

We all have different reasons as to why we might think we are not good enough inside, whether it be because we think we can’t do something, we haven’t achieved enough or that we simply don’t have all the skills to make something happen. We may go through hard times or challenges and make them even harder as we start telling ourselves a series of stories as to how we got in this “mess” to begin with.

“I always have this happen to me.” “I will never be able to achieve what I want.” “It’s too hard for me to change.” “Others have it easier than me and are capable of more.”

The bottom line is, no matter what stories we tell ourselves, we can overcome any challenge we face as we wouldn’t be in it if we couldn’t overcome it. But, like you, I have been through a number of challenges in my life and have learned a lot along the way about overcoming these stories and that’s what I want to share today.

1. Your Mind Will Trick You & Even Scare You

I think back to when CollectiveEvolution (CE) was first getting started. I was still working a job and I wanted to take things full time and really expand CE to the next level. Many of my friends and family already thought much of what I shared through CE was “weird” simply because it was different and challenged them. Leaving a good job to run a website wasn’t something many thought could work and because of the constant words of discouragement, I believed that at times too.

Healing A Society In Denial

“When you’re in it, you can’t see it – and that is the true definition of “insanity”. Yet, here we are doing the same things over and over again, calling it “reality” and expecting a different outcome.  I don’t know about you but this isn’t the “reality” I choose for myself or my precious, intelligent, beautiful children.” J Deisher

NewAgeWorldBeliefs can become patterns if you hold them long enough. People don’t like to have their belief systems challenged as sometimes they are the very foundation used to “survive”, emotionally speaking. Today, something is obviously not working, yet we still struggle with the idea of confronting and releasing our old conditioning and beliefs, healing, and making real change.

At this point in humanity’s history it seems that there are many who are desperately hanging on to an antiquated social belief system, many aspects of which they don’t even realize exist or affect them. Our social programming goes very, very deep; it is attached to our sense of Value, and Self. And it is in the shedding of this outdated programming that we find the ability to expand on the Heart and our relationship with Self, and know what is best for each of us individually, and authentically.

I see people everywhere who are beginning to awaken to the world around them and, as much as I try to avoid labels, many experiencing a kind of ‘Stockholm Syndrome’; the psychological state of identifying with one’s “oppressor”, in whatever form that oppressor takes. It could be in the form of a physically or emotionally abusive relationship, or addiction. It could be the controlling societal conditioning we have been subjected to or the lip service we’ve accepted from our “governments” who falsely tell us they have our best interests at Heart. It may be any any imposing influence that leave us feeling “less than” in some way.

It takes a great deal of resilience to be Awake in this world; we see an apparent lack of integrity almost everywhere we look, and it can be difficult to maintain a sense of clarity in among all the confusion, the dichotomy, as we try to talk and walk two different paths. We hear our “leaders” speak of integrity and priorities on a daily basis, yet we watch as people struggle in poverty and hunger, and wars are started in our names. And rather than admit this abuse, a failing of the status quo, many still protect and defend it, and mock those who threaten it.

Where is the integrity in their words? And where is the integrity in our actions?

Shifting Timelines, Free Will & The Power Of Choice

 “So, yeah, if you’re getting the feeling lately that the world is a runaway train headed for a washed-out bridge with no one at the controls; and everyone is fighting over seating arrangements; that’s actually fairly accurate . . .” ~Chautauqua

ShiftingTimelines1

Have you been feeling of late that someone turned up the treadmill on the rat race? Perhaps the world has begun feeling a bit like an accelerating merry-go-round threatening to toss you off if your grip fails. Does it feel as if insanity gains more ground every day while decency and morality continue to be given the Rodney King treatment? Have ya noticed that we’re not in Kansas anymore? I don’t know what is worse; the fact that there are now school shootings nearly every week – or that we’re getting used to it; accepting it much as the slave endures yet another lash from the walking boss.

These are just a few of the symptoms of the spiritual evolution currently well underway; and although it gets very little mainstream news coverage it is an irresistible wave of change, happening all around us right now. We can try to surf the crest of these changes, or be pummeled by them. The tired old paradigms of the Piscean age are crumbling now because they have to; they have no choice in the matter, their time on the stage is over, and thus we have the two opposite and divergent timelines separating from one another. One timeline remains in 4th dimensional frequency resonance, the other simply moves uphill an octave on the evolutionary scale, to 5th dimensional frequency resonance. This shifting of the timelines is rather like an election in the realm of spirit. Decide which frequency you wish to express in, and vote for it by giving it all your mental energy and focus…and it will become your reality. Continue reading

Truth & Belief Systems

Terri Newlon  August 8 2013

Ascended masterDjwhal Khul here. Tashi Delek.

Alright. Today I want to talk about Truth and Belief Systems, really kind of stemming originally out of a typo in the Forecast. We were referencing a Spirituality Article dated June 6, 2013, which is actually titled “Trust & Belief System”.

However we’re going to be having Mercury entering Leo, a lot of activity with self-expression and communicating with others effectively. Then we have really kind of over the weekend some strong configurations that are going to be a bit difficult especially on Sunday August 11. A lot of squaring off that is going to affect a lot of things actually: Jupiter, Pluto, Mars, Saturn and then opposition also with the Moon in Libra and Uranus. So we’re going to be having conflicts and maybe a lot of indecision or rash decisions that then cause trouble.

So Truth and Belief Systems. I think I’ll address that a little bit here. Truth is relative and most truth is based upon a belief system. So if you studied psychology in school and then you know it is true that this emotion is always connected with that action, or whatever. Or medicine: it is true that when you have these symptoms you have that disease or whatever it is.

Then you develop your own personal truths and then you can transcend them because belief systems change, they evolve. We can say that that is the constant change in the universe, that evolution will continue.
