Surrendering: Delving Deeper into Spirituality

Thirteen years old and ready for bat mitzvah, I asked the rabbi, “Can we learn about Jesus?" Part rebellion, but mostly curious and sincere, I did not know then, what I know now- in previous lifetimes I lived as a cloistered nun loving the Great Master Teacher known to Christians around the world as the Son of God, known to me in this lifetime as someone to love and to emulate. Although I was not raised Christian, nor was Jesus talked about in our home, I think about Jesus often. In fact, I think about Jesus every day. When I reflect on the meaning of surrendering to Higher Power, I  think about the wise and different things Jesus said: On surrendering he said, “I can of my own self do nothing, for I seek not my own will but the Will of the Father.”

Powerful words that will always be true. The words of the Great Master Teacher Jesus Christ hold true no matter what century we live in, or religion or belief we hold; the bottom line is that we will not move forward in life in a loving and positive way without the will and intention of a Higher Power-the Will of the Father as Jesus said. We all need something to lean on. Surrendering to Higher Power is the best way no matter how you conceptualize your Higher Power. Personally, and after much searching, I am drawn to the New Age idea of Christ as a Divine loving and forgiving Consciousness. A way of living life that is available for us all to aspire to; we are all son's and daughter's of God. Developing a loving and forgiving consciousness is a direct route to making conscious contact with one's Higher Power.

I like to study dreams. They take me deeper into my spirituality. To make a strong point, a recent dream brought this information. In the dream I was on an operating table at a local hospital, Roxborough Hospital. The operation was going to be performed in the basement. I was in a poorer section of the city where they did surgery in the basement. I was about to be anesthetized. I noticed that the walls of the operating room were brownish. The tiles were smooth and grimy looking like you might see in a bathroom in a subway. Still, I had to trust that the surgeons knew what they were doing and that I was in good hands. On the operating table I felt helpless; I had to surrender. The doctor was unfamiliar; I did not totally trust his skill. Still, I was on his operating table. I had to let go and not resist the operation. The operation was going to take place no matter what I did. Surrender was the key to success and at that  point there was no choice. The doctor gave me anesthesia and in the dream. I prayed to Babaji an Eastern Guru I studied about in the past.

In the dream I surrendered to the operation. In waking reality, when I surrender to Higher Power, I imagine myself waving a white flag signaling my need for help-someone, or something, to lean on. At those tired times, in those tired moments, I know I cannot do anything without the strength and direction of my Higher Power. This was the case in the dream.

After the operation, I got up and walked around the basement of the hospital. There were many people in the basement including interns learning new skills. I looked out the window onto a small yard. I was glad there was a window to enjoy the scenery. The yard was filled with green trees, a small lawn and shrubs. The message in the dream was that there was hope for the future. In the dream, I was the patient and had to completely (no half-way measures) wave the white flag and surrender to experience a deeper spirituality and connection to my Higher Power.

“Why art thou troubled because things do not succeed with thee according to thy desire? Who is there who hath all things according to his will? Neither I, nor thou, nor any man upon earth.”

Thomas A’Kempis.

Night Time Dreams Guide Your Life

Dreams have always guided my life. If you want information while you sleep, set your intention and pay attention to your dreams.

When we sleep, our spiritual or astral bodies move away from the sleeping body and explore other realms of consciousness. This is not a phenomenon that happens to a select few. This happens to everyone every night during sleep. During sleep, the mind and body rest and heal, and the spiritual or astral body explores and visits places and people from other dimensions in time. The spiritual body visits the Halls of Wisdom, Temples of Learning, Temples of Healing and the akashic records. Although most people are unaware of the learning and exploration that goes on in dreams, the spiritual information is brought back to the waking state and slowly digested and integrated into waking life. The result is that intuition is developed, and a deeper spiritual wisdom is accessed and accelerated.

In several dreams, the Pleiadian Emissaries of Light traveled with me in my dream body. “We are the Pleiadian Emissaries of Light and have been with you on earth many times through several incarnations. We have lived amongst earth people, intermingling with humans. You are a Starseed and carry a message of light and love.”

There were other dreams and messages. In a dream, a mountain of quartz crystals tumbled down and blanketed me with protection, healing, and light. I awoke with insight and began writing For Starseeds: Healing the Heart—Pleiadian Crystal Meditations.

At that time, night time learning was accelerated. Advanced spiritual beings of light taught me how to help sick people. Dreams intensified; an electrical charge, a laser beam of vibrating green healing light, rippled down my arm into a woman’s body, healing her heart. She and I were connected. She was healed. The radiating healing light and the intensity of information channeled from the Spiritual Guides and Masters, and the Pleiadian Emissaries of Light intensified in the dream. The room shook. In the dream, I was told, “You are a Starseed. Become a conscious channel for healing.”

When the healing was complete, the woman sat up, looked around the room, and got off the table. A Pleiadian Emissary of Light spoke and said that the primary mission of the Pleiadian Emissaries of Light on earth is to awaken Starseeds and move them toward the awareness of the Light within.

In another more recent dream, I was given information about a past life. In the dream, I was traveling at an accelerated rate. I looked to my right and heard a voice say, “You are passing the Edmond Monastery.” In waking reality, I never heard of the Edmond Monastery. In the morning, I discovered that the monastery does indeed exist. In past lives, I have lived a cloistered life and am drawn to that way of living in this life. Often, what we are drawn to in this life, points to where we have lived before. In this past life dream, I was visiting a place I had lived before.

At night, before bed, bring a dream journal by your bed. In the morning, write down anything and everything you remember-even the smallest bit of dream material gives lots of information to the dreamer. Before you go to sleep, set your intention and you will become the dreamer that will visit other places, meet with your spiritual guides, and enjoy the journey with your Dream Master-your Higher Self that has a 360 degree point of view.

A Radical Acceptance of Ourselves

The inner child, the emotional part of ourselves shows itself dreams; it also makes its presence known when we feel demanding, out of balance, angry, resentful, hateful and revengeful-all of the emotions that threaten to overwhelm us in life. So how do we reconcile the  “heavy emotions” with the desire to be positive, share uplifting thoughts and sentiments? The answer lies in accepting ourselves which is not easy to do; nor should a quick acceptance become the way we psychologically operate because we think we should. Doing so can increase anxiety and fear. It is best to get to know our feelings and acknowledge what we are going through; feel the feelings, however rough the roller coaster ride may be, and then move towards a radical acceptance of ourselves-a human being with faults, challenging emotions and struggles with difficult people in our lives. In all of these scenarios, the idea of acceptance is something to aim for, and it is always best not to minimize or suppress feelings but embrace our shortcomings. Get to know ourselves. One of the best ways to get to know the psychological part of ourselves is through analyzing dreams.

Here’s a dream I had a few nights ago.

After sitting in the sun all day giving hand/ arm massages to fifteen people I was exhausted. I did not even know how tired I was or how much stress I had accumulated from massaging so many people over a three hour period of time. I went to bed feeling more stressed than I realized. Towards morning I had this dream.

A very rapid flood of water gushed up the hill behind my house and raced towards the back glass sliding doors of the home. The rapidly rising water (emotions) threatened to flood the entire house and wash it away. To underscore how emotional and tired I felt, a trash can was on fire. Life was out of control.

The value of analyzing the dream is this: Now I deeply understood how tired, stressed, and emotional I felt. Massaging fifteen people for three hours while sitting in the sun was an emotional overload. In the future, in order to protect myself, I would have to set boundaries and limit the amount of time I would administer these labor intensive services.

It took several days to get back in balance, but after a few nights of sound sleep and daily meditations where I received extra rest. Plus walks in the park and an excellent swim at the pool, I was back to normal. I learned a lot of lessons from this experience.

1-Setting boundaries is important even in the work environment where it is harder to say no.

 2-When tired and out of balance, stress increases and perception is distorted.

 3-Deep rest is one of the most important gifts we can give ourselves.

When we are rested and back in balance, it is easier to accept ourselves and authentically affirm our good qualities.

The Awakening Starseed

Dreams are a wonderful psychological road to the inner self. Dreams are the way the psychological and spiritual part of us processes issues during sleep. If we pay attention to dreams, we will learn a lot about what is going on inside of ourselves.

Last night I had a dream. I dreamed that I was driving my car. It kept steering off of the road. I was fighting the steering wheel trying to keep the car on course! No matter how hard I tried, the car had a mind of its own; it wanted to go in the direction that it wanted to go in. It was hard to control the wheel. To make a point, as dreams often do, it segued into another dream scene. Now I was packing to leave for a trip. I was going through customs. On the conveyer belt, my bags had to be carefully placed in a position so that other items behind my luggage could be tossed into my bag. I could not understand why I had to wait and follow this sequence and order of packing my things. The entire process seemed complicated. It really did not make sense. Why couldn't I just throw the clothing into the bag? Why did I have to stand there patiently and wait for this complicated mechanism to sort things out? I wanted things to hurry along. I wanted to do it my way. I heard a man in the customs line say, “People from your country make things harder on themselves.” I felt startled by the comment and somewhat insulted. I was being categorized and it was not fair. I was not the typical person who had to hurry things along…or so I thought.

In the morning, the meaning of the dream became clear. I had to stop forcing the direction of my life but get back on course and do my life’s work, my purpose; that which was assigned to me before my birth to be carried out during this incarnation in earth. My work, my purpose, is the work of the Starseed; bringing people information that all people everywhere on earth are spiritual beings of light. I am aware that there is a lot of darkness on earth and that it is hard to believe that a misguided and mean human being is a spiritual being of light. However, underneath layers of negativity, unhappiness and meanness, lies a spiritual being of light.

Starseeds, bring information about the Pleidians advanced spiritual beings of light that help Starseeds remember and manifest a loving consciousness on earth. Starseeds carry a blueprint, a trace memory of having lived in other star systems in the Universe. Starseeds have reincarnated on other planets including the Pleiades. In these star systems, Starseeds receive training on spirituality, unity, oneness, unconditional love, and the importance of group consciousness while still expressing individuality on earth. The Starseed Pleiadian message is not a religion but an awakening into the awareness that we are all spiritual beings of light on earth.

Love, Light, Healings, and Many blessings,
