Speaking the Truth

Why is it important to speak the truth when most of the time you just want to have the person be happy with what you said to them?  It is important because what you say is a reflection of yourself.  If you do not speak the truth, you cannot expect to be truly known or well thought of, by anyone.  Pleasing others by sacrificing the truth helps no one, not you and certainly not the other person.

People often tell me,” it is just easier for me to say something that skirts the real truth. Everyone wins.” Well, that may seem true if you are not in Right Relationship with yourself or at odds with the other person.  Perhaps the relationship is perfunctory or of little importance. Still, the lie coming out of your mouth has an energetic affect on your well being. You can’t see it but it can cause havoc with your sleep, your energy, your self-perception, your outlook on life, and your sense of efficacy,(the ability to produce the desired result).

In Cross-Cultural Communications, it is often stated that as much as 97% of our real communications in non-verbal. So, if you lie or are being lied to, it is likely that both parties know this. The issue then is how to deliver difficult information to another. Figure out what you truly feel without judgement or guile.

Speak the truth first to yourself. If you are anxious about speaking the truth to another, clear for the anxiety of speaking the truth to that person. If you are worried that what you are saying will negatively affect your relationship, figure out the kindest way to say what you need to say. But do not stuff what you need to say or make up a lie to cover the truth. Falsehoods have a way of growing out of control rather quickly. It is as if through lying you give the Universe the sense that you do not care at all about the consequences of having lied. This catches up with you eventually in undesirable ways.

You have to clear for all the stuck energy you have about speaking the truth. I have seen people go to the extreme of being so blunt in their message to another, it is as if they are attacking the person they are speaking with.  This often comes from fear of confrontation and push back. Fear of being punished, ostracized, or attacked is often given as a legitimate reason to lie. Rehearse and prepare to speak the truth in sticky situations. Clear for all the fears and misgivings you have before delivering your truth.

Years ago, before numerous training programs, I would go outside and train the trees in my backyard. I would speak out loud to hear if I liked what I was saying. I still do rehearse and modify aloud when I need to say something that feels hard to deliver.

Speak truth with compassion. Imagine how the person will react to your truth and deliver your message with love and compassion, even if the message is a hard one to present. Kindness goes a long way to help support a relationship when hard things need to be said.

Often the truth is not spoken aloud because you do not want to face the truth you know is present. Take rape, infidelity, incest, stealing, addiction, betrayal, hiding financial resources, abuse, molestation, blackmail, fraud, etc. If you are dealing with these issues yourself or with a person you care about, you may well need professional help to speak your truth with positive results towards another or for yourself. Especially in these tough situations, speak the truth to yourself to begin the next phase of your life towards wholeness. Do the clearing you need to stand up and speak the truth with compassion and clarity to those who need to know. These practices keep us on a humble path towards greater inner balance.

If you are stuck around whether to speak the truth or not,  ask for guidance if this truth is yours to speak. Sometimes, the Divine preference is for us not to speak the truth in a given situation. You have to determine if this is your work to do. Perhaps, it is too late to bombard a person with the truth of the past. Sometimes, we want to speak the truth so another will suffer, face up, or pay for what they have done. The wrong reasons could be at play here. Other times, it is clearly not our affair even though we know a truth regarding others.  The motivation to speak the truth needs to be for a positive outcome and not a solely punitive one.  What is the loving way to speak the truth?  Cultivate that thinking and effective actions will follow.

The Lesson Of The Day

God is not separate from me really. I am made in the image of God. I have the potential power of wholeness waiting for full activation. I am always learning and I am able to create in infinite ways. There is a small, constricted voice inside me though that pulls me off kilter all too often. Again and again I need to go into Silence to rebalance. Sometimes I get there quickly and other times it takes days or weeks to rebalance from little slings and arrows I carry inside.  There are fewer inner places of sabotage now than there used to be. There is more balance and grace inside than earlier in my life. There always seems to be some inner place though that still needs attention and healing.  That knowing has become the norm for me.

I have stopped expecting to arrive somewhere and have all things just perfect. I am learning to be an eternal learner and seeker. That has become my expectation and I rarely know what is coming next for me. Somewhere along the way, I let go of directing, of needing to have my inner work and my days planned.  I have learned how to go with the flow and how to not need to control so tightly. I have to keep listening to what is best for me. When I choose what is best for me, love flows, patience show up, and joy suffuses my days. Then another unhealed area inside shows up again and off we go until balance is restored.

Photo by Austen Neill

I used to think that I was seeking permanent joy and ease. But really what I am seeking all day, most every day is connection with the Greater Whole. I like the feeling that I matter, that I am loved, that I am contributing in small ways to my health and that of others. This sense sustains me and allows me to look at my most stuck places inside. I now know those places do not define me. When I find them, I can release them and I am more whole, more loving, and more compassionate with me and towards others.

When the rigid, unhelpful places do appear, I am often surprised that those feelings are still hanging around. I am caught off guard at first,  as negative feelings and reactions rise in all their ugliness.  Then I remind myself, that is not who I am. Those feelings are surfacing precisely so I can command them out and move on.  I have the total choice to hang onto those unpleasant feelings or to consciously release them. That is a reassuring place to be. For just a moment I might revert to seeing those feelings as defining me. But really they don’t define me. They show up as the lesson of the day. They show up precisely when it is time to release them from my field. And thus, the journey continues.

It is easier now to accept that there are endless piles of constricted, unhelpful feelings I have given my power to. They are still lurking about but I know I will be able to precisely name them, cast them out, and return again to balance. I have stopped waiting with bated breath for the lesson of the day to show up. The lessons seem to be organized somewhere beyond my mind and energy. They seem to show up systematically whenever the timing is right for me to address them and let them go.

Photo by Pepe Reyes

We have a bit of a rhythm going now, whatever still needs to be released shows its true colors and I am surprised, then perhaps resistant, then I listen quietly to what is needed from me.  Finally, I take that familiar road to casting those not so good feelings out of my energy field and head outside into the sunshine, knowing this process may repeat itself all over again tomorrow.

I choose to be defined these days by the sense of connectedness I feel with Divine Source. I will probably always have areas needing healing and attention. A lifetime of clearing and releasing unhelpful energy has taught me that all that is negative within may manifest in me for the moment but I can choose to tag that ugliness so it can be transformed into something that is light, kinder and more loving. There is no where to actually get to these days. There is just the process of attending to what shows up as the lesson of the day. And So It Is!

Activate Divine Connection

Many people secretly would love to connect with Divine Source/Spirit/God especially if it just happens. Who wouldn’t love to connect with an all loving, all accepting, forever forgiving, ever expanding, loving Force of Energy? Divine Presence energy  is trustworthy, has your highest needs in mind, gives you as many chances as you need to make loving changes for yourself, and is always available day or night.

Photo by Will Bolding

However, repeating small choices to do other things with your time and interests take precedence. You perhaps have tried and “failed” due to your perception of what that Divine Connection should look like. Perhaps you don’t believe in Divine Presence, Divine Energy, Divine Source at all because of unfair losses, unfulfilling houses of worship, or having “tried everything” and never felt connected. Thus, you may have become skeptical of the entire idea of Divine Source/God/Pure Love Energy.

Frequently deep sorrow, depression, addiction, loss, guilt, rage, pain, illness or failures leads us back to our inner selves. In fact, the very reason we have repeating imbalances is a call back to our inner selves. Your inner self is where you can connect with Divine Source. External experiences rarely bring you in one fell swoop to Divine Connection. There may be experiences that point you in the right direction but you have to make an active choice for Divine Connection, Love, and mutual interaction for Divine Connection to manifest. 

You can return innumerable times into body form without actively pursuing Divine Connection. However, if you are thinking, YES, I want to pursue this, make an active choice to begin the journey. I started by writing my heart out and addressed it all to Dear God.  I put all my anger, frustrations, small-mindedness, irritations,  judgements, and self blame into thousands of pages to Divine Source. Help and loving healing energy were always the answers.  I knew nothing about what I am doing now, at that time. I just began. So can you. Start writing to God/Divine Source/The Great Oneness even about what you do not believe but wish you did. YOU WILL BE LED.

Try repeatedly to listen within to the still small voice, your own intuition. You are connecting with Divine Source. At your core, you are already one with Divine Source even if you do not believe this, act on this, or grow this. It is still Eternal Truth.  If you feel you can’t connect, that is where the work is. If anger comes up, clear* for the anger and try again. If self-judgement comes up, clear* for the self-judgement and try again. Continually clear* the blocked energies you have taken on that separate you from Peace, Joy, Health, and Divine Connection and you will expand your conscious knowing of All That Is/God, every single time you do this.

Photo by Trent Smolnik

You do not have to be perfect to connect with Divine Spirit. You do have to seek unceasingly, again and again.  I consciously spent 7 years in profound Silence working on all my junk that kept me from connecting with God/All That Is.  I learned all I had to do was to begin and keep it up! The work has been to bring all the ways, places, interactions, situations, and relationships where I am separated from Peace, from my highest self, from balance, and from Love to the dialogue with Divine Source. This has NOTHING to do with what other people are doing or not doing. It has everything to do with my feelings, thoughts, fears, doubts, self-protections and judgments.

Everything that happens in life is a learning opportunity. Even the toughest situations have eventually been revealed as needed learning for me. I know this is true for my clients as well. Seek with an open mind. You are already hard wired to connect with The Great Oneness!!  If you continue to return to your own inner thoughts, feelings, fears, hopes, frustrations, anger, sorrows, and hatreds, you will clear all imbalances from your energy field in time. Work in Sacred Space. There is a completely different reality of peace, happiness, health, and success awaiting you if you begin to seek Divine Connection.  Activating your Divine Connection is the fastest, most direct and profound way to expand your consciousness. Activate your journey to Divine Connection! You will never regret it.

* Use the Six-Step Healing Protocol for clearing anything that is out of balance for you.

Humans in Spiritual Training

A voice emerged amidst the dreams:

You are a human being in training
You are a chip off the ‘ole block
You are eternal having a human experience
You are human created from Divine Source

Photo by Muhammed Fayiz

You have total free will
You are blessed with infinite possibilities
You are loved beyond all understanding
You get eternal replays with every life

You get all the chances you need
To make good, loving, and balanced decisions
Even when you mess up repeatedly
Unconditional love is always yours

You remain unaware of your true value
You fear, you judge, you push, you doubt
Creating profound unworthiness
That does not belong to you

You belittle, chastise, think poorly of yourself
For all kinds of unhealed reasons that
Put you out of sorts, again and again
And keep you from feeling joyful

You have a creative and powerful mind
You have consciousness and free reign
Yet the unhealed detritus of your life looms
Ever waiting for you to name, face, and heal

Love is what you must cultivate
Continuous love of self and all others
Love of every challenge that helps you grow
Love of all mistakes you make along the way

Photo by Eric Brolin

You come into life to learn more about
The love and wholeness that is truly you
You come to retrain your mind for compassion
You have endless repeating lives to make amends

You are continuously invited to get with your inner self
You feel there is not enough time to look within
You succumb to the seduction of your life
You are lured into distractions, away from needed inner work

One day there will be something you can not ignore
You will be off and running on the road to Oneness
Passionately seeking as never before
Full heartedly focused on your journey to wholeness

The choice is yours, ad infinitum
You can return as many times as you want
To a life where your unhealed energies still await
One day, you will pick one up and take it to completion

And then deep sleep was restored.

Cording Energy Healing

You may have a prickly relationship with someone in your life. Often prickly relationships have a long history with both good and not so good exchanges that challenge you repeatedly.  What if you could bring about the healing for the sticky parts of that relationship?  What if you could really call in the healing for you and your selected person and have a future without the potential for conflict and awkwardness?  Cording energy healing provides a way to address relationships that are out of balance permanently or intermittently.

Photo by Juja Han

Energetic cording is a term for the energy passing back and forth between people in relationships. Energetic cording exists in all relationships. This cording can be positive in both directions or negative in both directions between individuals. You can also have a combination of positive energy from you to another person and negative energy from that other person coming to you or vice versa.  Usually you know when there is either positive or negative energy in both directions between individuals. With negative energy in both directions, you may desire to cut off the relationship all together. That can be  hard to do though if the other person is a family member, close colleague, or intimate partner.  When a relationship has good energy moving in one direction and negative energy moving in the other direction, you can also feel disturbingly off without understanding what is not quite right.

The most pressing situations manifest when there is negative cording in one or both directions. These situations cause imbalances and discomfort, usually to both parties.   All cording flows in a direction from you to another person or from another person to you. Whoever has the strongest feelings in the relationship determines the direction of the flow of energy. However, either person can influence a change in the energy of the cording between individuals. You can heal negative cording whether you are the person creating it or receiving it.

Energetic cords are real.  A clairvoyant can see cording between people. Positive cording is strong, shimmering, and flexible. Negative cording is dark, stringy, and rigid. Every time we have an interaction, the cording has the chance to change. Therefore, attending to negative cording is worth the effort to help the relationship change.

You may have heard the term, cut the cords referring to a person, place, or situation. Tina Zion*, a medical intuitive, explains that cutting cording is the wrong image to pursue because the negative energy just remains negative and moves to another situation, person, location. Further, even though you can “cut the cords” with a person, this still leaves tendrils or roots of the negativity in one or both persons. You have to transform the energy so that what was negative is literally changed to positive energy or at least to neutral energy.

Healing Negative Cording, Level 1

  • Use the Six-Step Spiritual Healing Protocol to do this healing work. Add the name of the person and their Divine Beings to your Sacred Wisdom and Healing Circle if you are working on cording with another person. 
  • Use the following wording for Step 3.  My imbalance is negative cording between Jacob and me ( between my house/job/computer and me, etc.) trauma energy and all symptoms.
  • After Step 6, add, I call for all detox from this healing to be completed in quantum space, at the end of Step 6. Complete Step 6 of the Six-Step Spiritual Healing Protocol and you are done.

If after some time, there remains negative cording with the same person or situation, deeper unhealed root issues affecting the negative cording are keeping the energy from fully healing. Level 1 covers blocked emotional, mental, thermal, spiritual, hereditary line, karmic, curse and spell energies.  See the links below in Level 2 for the list of potential blocked root imbalances and specific language to clear those imbalances for full healing.

Healing Negative Cording, Level 2

  • Begin by opening Sacred Space.
  • Return to this post. Read the following paragraph and move directly to the link below, Healing Chronic Imbalances, Part 1.

To efficiently do this healing go to the italicized bold typed sections of each post and use your same imbalance wording as you originally used in Level 1. Speak all these words out loud to give them form and power in this dimension. There are four areas of potential root imbalances you call forth from Part 1. There are 4 more areas of potential root imbalances from Part 2. This should take a total of less than 15 minutes to complete.This covers all known root imbalances that could be affecting negative energetic cording between you and another person, place, thing or situation.

  • Return to this post. Then move to the link for Healing Chronic Imbalances, Part 2

https://www.robbinshopkins.com/2019/02/healing-chronic-imbalances-part-2/

In Closing

You can close this healing session with appreciation to the Divine Beings working with you. Send this healing energy out to all others around the globe who need this healing.

This healing energy will clear lifetimes of unhealed energies way beyond your present situation! Take the time to fully go after negative cording in your life.  It will free you and the other person from years of strain, stress, and discomfort in relating to each other and will help you create future relationships free from negative cording.
