Earning Respect

What does it really mean to earn respect? Running an establishment, owning a lovely home, being in charge of a department, or having a prestigious job? Perhaps. There is a more lasting method of earning respect than may be possible through public indications of success. There is a deep inner state you can cultivate through earning respect for yourself. This can be a long journey but it begins in small steps.

One of the first steps to earning respect is learning to tell the truth. This takes practice. First, you have to recognize the truth for what it is to you. The extremes fueled by emotions nor the extremes fueled by wanting to please others rarely represent the truth. Truth is found between the extremes of our unexamined feelings and the fear of not pleasing others. Truth is between these opposites and only you can determine what your truth really is. Only you can call yourself to the full picture of truth for you. This is a step in developing respect for yourself. A few exchanges help to capture this.

Heart-felt emotions, not full truth
George, you are a slimy jerk having RSVP’d saying I was coming to this party. What gave you that right without even asking me? You just totally ignore my wishes, set me up for failure, and expect me to bow and scrape because you want me to. Just leave me alone! You make me so angry!

Giving in to pleasing others, not full truth
George, I know you really want me to go to this party. I am not happy about this but I will go. I will put a smile on and act as if I like these people and what they stand for. If this is what you want, I will go. But you owe me!

Beginnings of speaking truth
George, I already told you, I am not going to this party and pretend to be happy about who these people are and what they stand for. It is not something you have a right to expect of me. You may have the finesse to pull this off and be comfortable yourself. That is fine. I know I do not and I will not put my self in harm’s way in order to present a united false front to these people.

To even get close to the third example of beginning to speak truth, you have to determine what truth looks like. It changes through time, through your experiences, through your failures and through the conscious development of who you truly are and how you show that to others. You are the only one who can begin to see the balance between your strong emotions and the desire or perceived need to please others. Somewhere in between the extremes, truth can be found.

Further along the path to speaking truth
George, I know you want me to go with you to this party. I get that. If I could find anywhere within me that I could do that, I would, for you. However, I feel so totally like I am play acting when I am in those people’s company. I can not put myself in that environment without feeling I have let my own self down. I hope you can understand this. I am sorry to disappoint you, truly, but I won’t be going.

When you speak from a place of deep and full truth, you earn respect for yourself. As you earn respect for yourself, you can hold that space for others you encounter. Search for the full truth of a situation. It is likely to be found between the strong emotional reactions and the total giving into what is expected by others. Earning respect for yourself is something you can cultivate, grow and get better at. It also has longevity and solidity not to mention that the process of earning respect for self enables you to be your best person.

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.

Moral Dilemma

It seemed like a smallish sort of lie
I did not mean for it to come out as it did
I spun a yarn while playing with fire
I spoke it aloud and now it resides between us

I feel a persistent heaviness in my heart
There is a tightness when I breath
This could grow, fester, and becoming putrid
And still I hesitate to set things to rest

My pride is raising its ugly head today
I despair at having to put this right
I am hoping this will all go far away
But it might hang on and be discovered

In truth, I really told a bold-faced lie
I think of it as small so I don’t feel so low
But I lied to her pure and simple
Because it suited me to do so

I protect a well defended outside shell
Thinking that makes me safe
Then I go and tell these little lies
And I know things aren’t any good at all

I don’t want to do what I know I should
I need to tell her I lied and why
But I am ashamed and feel too crummy
To really come clean and show my face

What would my friends think?
Who could possibly understand?
I don’t even know why I made up that lie
And then acted as if it were true

Maybe tomorrow this will all feel better
Maybe tomorrow we will forget this happened
Maybe I will think of some way to save face
Maybe I will find a way to bury the past

Perhaps she could forgive me
Or perhaps I could forgive me too
Perhaps I can make amends
Or perhaps we could move past this

Where is my good place?
Why can’t I let this all go?
Why can’t I just forget this ever happened?
Who is ever really going to know?

Integrity Clearing

If this rings any bells for you, you can do effective clearing for any lapse in integrity you hold at present or from the past. When you are out of integrity with yourself and others, not only can you suffer emotionally but you become disconnected on your end from the Whole, from Divine Source. Further, you may be totally unaware of places where you are carrying blocked energy that is affecting you in countless ways. You can carry old unconscious blocked energy about lying, stealing, blaming, or resenting, for example, and it can be causing you anxiety, insomnia, rage, or poor health in general as well as many other conditions. You may not be hearing clear guidance, or making poor decisions, or carrying guilt, rage, or depression, as well. Clearing up issues of integrity is worth focusing on.

Here are some of the areas where you may be carrying unhealed energy that is affecting your integrity. The following trauma energies may be causing untold imbalances in you mind, body or soul.

Trauma energies affecting one’s integrity:

Lying, Cheating, Stealing, Misrepresenting, Bullying, Blaming, Resenting, Stalking, Selling body services/mis-using my body, Buying body services/ Mis-using another’s body, Hurting another, Un-forgiveness, Hating, Punishing, Using excessive force, Abusing (others or substances), add any others you may be want to address.

Examples for Step 3 are given in bold below. For those beginning to work with the Six-Step Spiritual Healing Protocol use all six step in the link indicated. This version shared below is for for more advanced practitioners who have experience with using all the steps of the protocol for many months.

I call for Divine Healing Protocol for consciously punishing my brother trauma energy and all symptoms.

I call for Divine Healing Protocol for cheating and lying with my first wife ( partner, husband, etc.) trauma energy and all symptoms.

I call for Divine Healing Protocol for resenting the interference of my mother-in-law trauma energy and all symptoms when we had small children.

I call for Divine Healing Protocol for holding of un-forgiveness with my son trauma energy and all symptoms.

Keep working on areas where there may be blocked energies affecting your integrity. When you are cleared of these types of blocked energy, they will no longer show up in your life for healing.

Love Inspired Truth

Listen to Truth. It does not try to appease you or convince you. It simply is. It is created by Divine Oneness, never by mortal humans, because you are most likely still working on imbalances, confusion, and misperceptions. Truth is beyond human understanding. It sings a song from the heavens, from the voice of All That Is, from the vibrations of Unconditional Love. It is always attainable though you must have begun your inner journey to Wholeness. You need to begin this inner journey to Wholeness for Truth to be revealed to you. You have to go within and understand with every part of your being that you are loved and cherished, constantly, thoroughly, and irrevocably by the Divine Love of the Universe.

You are truly loved no matter what has befallen you. Even when attacked, hurt, sick, unable to find the right partner, or unable to find your professional path, you are profoundly loved. You may ask, how can that be? One explanation is that you may be paying a karmic debt during this life. Karmic debts are required of us when we have committed a seemingly unforgivable debt in a previous lifetime. We need to pay for that debt to be free to expand and fully grow in consciousness. Your life may be devoted to paying off that debt or debts so that you can soar. You may not feel loved because there are parts of your life that are very hard and seemingly unfair. However, you are still loved with a fierceness that created your current life precisely for you to be free from past transgressions. This is one type of Truth that might be revealed to you if you go within, seeking.

Nothing that happens in this world is haphazard. However, because you may not be fully versed in Divine Truth, you may resort to the belief in haphazard events, fear, or blame to make sense of that which is beyond your senses. All poverty, hatred, violence, anger, resentment, and illness are humanly created. You create a myriad of imbalances from being separated from Truth. When you go within, you are taught about Love that is all encompassing and all forgiving and you slowly heal from all that separates you from Truth, Peace, and Balance.

Being separate from Truth can also show up in how you feel about yourself. You may feel you have failed in reaching your potential or that you are being punished because of every bad thing that has happened to you. You may blame yourself for being in an unsuccessful relationship. All the while, you have simply forgotten to ask for help, for all things, in all ways, at all times. Consciously seeking in Silence and listening to Truth can heal these inaccurate perceptions of yourself and help receive needed support to see yourself as the person you actually are, loving and evolving.

This world is created in Love, and Truth is intrinsically part of that Love. You stray from that Truth every time you give into fear, anger, blame, depression, gossip, pride, judgment, or shame. These feelings and thoughts separate you from Spirit. When separated from Spirit, your requests for help have no power. If for example you are carrying self-anger and blame, when you call for a shift in your work relationships, this cannot be received. Your self-anger and blame energy block your ability to receive the energy of the request you made. This is because your self-perceptions are not in Truth!!! You have to come from loving, truthful energy for stuck energy to be transformed. The Truth is, you are a loving person carrying negative self- perceptions which are not the Truth, so this energy has to be transformed before the healing energies can be received.

Clear all blocked energies that separate you from God’s energy of love, peace, and balance. Then, all subsequent prayers are answered, every single time. You are also then privy to Truth energy that helps form the way you live.

Only Love can fully speak the Truth. For the Universe and all who dwell therein were created in Divine Love and in the image of that magnificent energy. Anything less than living in accurate Truth falls short of your full potential. You who want to reach your full potential; meditate, spend time in Silence, seek balance, seek kindness to self and forgiveness of others. You could do yourself a great kindness to pursue these ways to reach your full, loving, and powerful Truth.

Where to begin? Use the Spiritual Healing Protocol to free yourself from any type of imbalance which separates you from knowing Divine Source and living in Truth.

Beloved I AM Presence

The I AM Presence is part of every person on Earth though many of us have no idea what this means. The I AM Presence is the Oneness which exists way beyond our bodies, our lifetimes and our memories of experiences in this world. The Oneness is the state of consciousness which manifests as connectedness with All That Is. The I AM Presence is that which is Eternal about us, and thereby is pure love, pure wholeness and perfect balance.

The I AM Presence actually can’t be captured in words though that does not stop me nor others from trying to explain this state. The I AM Presence is a state of consciousness which is available to all peoples, any place, all of the time.

When I call forth the I AM Presence into a sacred space, I think of this as calling the Highest Energy of the Most High. Do I really know what this means, how it was created, or from whence it came? Not really. What I do know is that when I call this energy, I and others feel compelled to speak the Truth, are touched by an energetic state of being, each sensing this in his or her own unique way. I know there is a qualitative difference in space when I call the I AM Presence into that space. I feel a sudden and vast support, power and infinite knowing way beyond the capacities of my own being.

Recently when working with St. Germain’s energy and teachings, I was struck again by the power of recognizing the I AM Presence in All That Is. When we recognize an other’s birthday, contributions, gifts, or talents, our relationship with that other person is strengthened because of this recognition.

Happy Our Birthday :) bu Hamid Saber — Happy Our Birthday 🙂 bu Hamid Saber

As we feel gratitude and appreciation for another, the goodness of the relationship grows. What we focus on, grows. If we walk through the halls and say hello to others, our relationships are strengthened by these acts of recognition. This very same principle is at work when we recognize, speak with, call forth, love and honor Divine Presence.

Before we begin to recognize the Divine in specific ways, the concept of Divine Presence remains shadowy, vaguely unformed possibilities for a rainy day. When we recognize Divine Presence, that relationship grows, is strengthened and the goodness itself expands as we take this into our heart, minds and our being.

You may ask what is the difference between the I AM Presence and God? I really don’t know. For me, the I AM Presence is within and without as is the “kingdom of God”. Perhaps they are different aspects of Divine Source or perhaps they are exactly the same. What I know is that the I AM Presence is here, now and is an integral part of me and probably has been for all my existence. I am sure that I am moving more deeply into Divine Space when I recognize my Beloved I AM Presence. I know these connections only come through Silence and meditation. It is not possible to know the I AM Presence with one’s mind. I can know of the I AM Presence with my mind but in order to know the I AM Presence, my mind has to be quiet and calm. That is the way it works.

Last week I discovered in Silence that one can be out of Right Relationship with one’s I AM Presence. Right Relationship is defined by Divine Knowing and means being in perfect harmony with something or someone. Being out of Right Relationship with the I AM Presence looks like not acknowledging this Presence, being skeptical that one is good enough to have a relationship with the I AM Presence, denying the Divine Presence in our life or remaining undecided about whether to believe in a Goodness beyond ourselves. This is very similar to wanting to have a relationship with another while never accepting offers to date, to mingle or to be in the public where meeting someone might happen. If we don’t acknowledge the Great I AM Presence, it can remain an elusive uncertainty for as many lifetimes as we would like.

St. Germain’s teachings encourage us to Love our I AM Presence. That was a new thought. How do I Love my I AM Presence? I am certain that I can’t love something that I have never recognized. So, calling forth the I AM Presence into meetings, gatherings, arguments, decisions, prayers, meditation and illness is a perfect way to have this energy take form in your life and grow in power, presence, vitality and form.

TRY THESE COMMANDS

I call forth my I AM Presence in Its full Power and Knowing

I send unbounded Love to my I AM Presence and invite this energy into every aspect of my life.

I call the Ascended Masters to teach me about my I AM Presence

I release all my blocked energy regarding the existence of my I AM Presence.

I call for the expansion of my consciousness so I can embrace the I AM Presence as a force in my life.

Recognizing the I AM Presence leads to more abundance. Every constructive form on the Earth came from some Cosmic Being’s Love.

Just add light... by ecstaticist — Just add light… by ecstaticist

The birds, the trees, the plants, the water, the mountains, the animals and all of us came from Love. It does not matter what we call this Comic Being. It matters greatly what we learn from the beauty, love and power of life around us. All life around us was created from Love because Love is the only eternal force in the Universe. Further, Light comes ONLY from Love. Light ALWAYS overcomes the darkness.

When we recognize our Mighty I AM Presence, we are saying YES to Love, to Oneness and therefore to Light. Abundance is a quality of the Light. Practice recognizing the Beloved I AM Presence and experience more Love, Light and Abundance in your life. We get all the help we need as we begin to take steps to bring this energy more fully into our daily lives. As we begin to take steps towards the recognition of Divine Presence, the Love, Light and Abundance of life will show itself more frequently and completely in our day to day world.
