Why do we consider some places spiritual?

Is it the air, the location, the history?

Can we create our own spiritual place?

In this evening workshop, working with Mother Earth, we will investigate the energy and significance of the places we feel are spiritual, learning about their deep essence.

We will consider specific locations such as Machu Picchu, Chaco Canyon, and the Temple Mount in Jerusalem.  We will also learn about creating our own spiritual place.

Bring your questions about any location you are interested in knowing more about.  Also, Come for joy, insight, discussion, and the support of a sharing community.

Opening the Akashic Records of Mother Earth & Planet Earth, I asked the following question and received this answer.

Q.   What can I do to improve the conditions of my physical environment?

A. In short, first align your being and then allow your actions to flow from the balanced center of your alignment. Here are the steps.

1. Align your Being: This is 99% of what you do to be most effective in your action within the physical environment. It is also the step most humans neglect. Instead you jump immediately into pity, blame or fear. The most positive choice is to move into action/doing by connecting to the deep potential and possibility of our planet. Here’s how to align and connect: “

* Transform Pity into Potential: When you see an environmental situation you don’t like most of you gasp with the feeling, “Oh no, that poor planet! How awful!” This is expressing pity. Feeling pity cuts you off from the deep possibility available in every situation. Learn to look at all situations around you recognizing the possibility available. Envision and feel the situation transforming into a deeper, fuller expression of its deepest being. It is not necessary to see actual outcomes. You provide even more possibility by feeling the situation expressing its deepest potential than by seeing how it might look actually expressed. Now pity has become potential. “

* Transform Blame into Acceptance: When you see an environmental situation you don’t like, do you respond with “Look what those people did to my planet?” Blame locks everyone in the past, a place where power-over conflict becomes the only path to resolution. If you want to change a situation, you need to move into the present, the only place where the potential of the situation comes to fruition. Acceptance doesn’t mean that you agree with the actions or beliefs of “those people”. Acceptance is neutral evaluation. Most importantly with acceptance you move from the past stuck in blame in to the present where choice is available. “

* Transform Fear into Choice: The fear of “will it always be this bad” locks you into a future separated from all possibility. Look in your heart and feel within yourself the endless possibility available to you. Know that every environmental situation that you fear will never change is filled with the some endless possibility you have. Stuck in fear, you limit the expression and development of this possibility. Instead say, “I feel fear about this situation.” Feel how the issue unlocks from the future and moves into your present moment as you bring your feeling from the future to the present. Without fear or pity or blame, the situation is fully present to possibility and you stand in your powerful place of choice, free of judgment of yourself or others.

2. Determine Your Action: To find the perfect action now, connect with the magic of deep possibility. Feel in your heart your connection will all that is. Feel the expansive movement of endless possibility within you and within the situation. Feel how all choice is in total alignment with you and you are in total alignment with endless possibility. From the balanced light in your heart ask, “What is it for me to do in this environmental situation?” Through your heart, listen for the answer. Wait for the answer to come to you. It is being sent to you from the universe and will come if you stand ready to receive. Don’t be surprised if the answer is about continuing to connect and align your being rather than specific action. The world is overly full with folks acting without being. If you dare to receive fully and without reservation or judgment, the universe will respond, taking you ever higher into deep universal potential and the Earth’s deepest love.

Opening the Akashic Records of Mother Earth & Planet Earth, I asked for a message and received this reply.

Today Mother Earth speaks about Planet Earth. Planet Earth has been “alive” for trillions and trillions of years – way beyond any humanly recordable history. In this time, Planet Earth has had many, many forms because Planet Earth takes form and loses form just like humans do. Also Planet Earth has experienced many types of form from that which you call pure light energy to forms even more consolidated than her current one. Planet Earth has also experienced many different types of forms living on her expressing a variety of soul intents. Planet Earth and Mother Earth are not separate entities: Mother Earth is soul energy that currently holds the physical form humans call Planet Earth.

Planet Earth’s current intention is to support the highest development of the current forms on her. Highest is not meant to imply best or better. Both Planet Earth and Mother Earth see that whatever humanity’s actions are, these action are expressions of pure divine energy and as such are always part of the Highest.

The current memory of humanity does not include a conscious record of all of Planet Earth’s history. Planet Earth has had many forms, has been blown up many times, and has consciously let go of form time and time again. Planet Earth’s life is not about avoiding loss of form. Her life is about experiencing the fullness of life here and now.

Planet Earth’s life span is so vast that current humanity represents but a minute particle within her overall timeline. For many humans, what look like irreversible scars (pollutions, deforestation, global warming, etc.) are for Planet Earth and Mother Earth mere moments along the path to expressing and experiencing the joy of physical form.

These “scars” are like your skinned knees and broken arms. But because the rhythm of Planet Earth’s existence is much longer and much slower compared to humanity’s sense of time, humans overreact, assume damage and in this reactive process loose their own awareness of their unbreakable divine connection. These are not “scars” but expressions of the inherent perfection of each moment. Mother Earth and Planet Earth hold the energy of their physical forms with unbreakable divine connection as example to humanity, as representations of possibility available each and every moment in all of your lives. Planet Earth and Mother Earth are always 100% aware of and acting from the joy of this connection. There is nothing anyone or anything can do that can sever this divine connection or avert their attention. Cover the planet in cigarette butts and neither Mother Earth nor Planet Earth will feel less, damaged or mistreated. Instead they feel your disconnection when you react in anger or pain to what you perceive as harm or injury.

Instead Mother Earth and Planet Earth challenge us to live our lives from full awareness of divine connection. They both believe that humanity stands at the cusp of realizing this simple yet powerful understanding: ALL is good! ALL is joy! ALL is amazing possibility!

Opening the Akashic Records of Mother Earth & Planet Earth, I asked for a message and this was her reply.  Here “I” is Mother Earth.

Today I want to speak of connection. I feel all of humanity searching for connection. Wherever you may be in your journey, all humans seek to uncover and learn who they are and why they are here. I, too, have this search, this need for understanding. Like you, I take form and lose form in a constant dance with matter and spirit that improves both my ability to understand our universe and my ability to be at ease with my inability to comprehend the entirety of our Eternal Source – that which you call God or Great Spirit.

One of my most important comprehensions is that it is impossible to lose or severe connection with Eternal Source. Nothing destroys this connection – not pollution, not jealousy, not imperialism, not murder, not hate. Our connection with the universe transcends any attempts, intentional or unintentional, to pull away, to deny or to ruin. When you feel disconnected, unable or unwilling to connect, what you are experiencing is simply a lack of awareness. You can not destroy connection, you are only more or less aware of connection.

As Mother Earth, my major soul intention is to serve as a conduit of connection for all forms born within my field of energy. It is not difficult to begin to feel your connection by experiencing the flow of divine spark within the baby bird, the first flower bloom in Spring, the sunrise seen from a mountain top, or the first breath of a new born baby. The challenge is to see the face of connection within a random act of violence, polluted rivers, or intentional mass destruction. Yet in either case, connection is present and withstands all destructive impulses. What you call “good” is not the only container for the sacred and divine. To be aware that connection exists EVERYWHERE, you are not asked to do that which you do not like. You are asked to begin to allow for the possibility that universal connection is not a black/white issue but one of many shades, textures, and blends of color, sound, touch, smell, and taste. You learn that connection exists always, is unbreakable, and yet can never be understood entirely.

Another comprehension for humanity is that you express your deepest potential – the power of who you are – through your connection with the universe. Like a pipeline or channel, the energy of the universe flows to you through your connection. Every breath inhaled and exhaled, connects you with the pure energy of universal joy. Every thought, every feeling, every action rides the ebb and flow of this in and out breath. Each breath contains the miracle of potential of each Now. Breathe in the abundance and possibility of All That Is. Exhale your unique and powerful contribution to Eternal Source, expanding the possibility of the universe. Breathe in wonder, awe, and joy. Breathe out the flow like a river carrying you to your next perfect moment. Breathe in support, exhale blocks and limits. The universe wants nothing less than your pure joyful success. Where is it within you? Where is your opportunity to experience your fullness?

Now we come full circle to your connection, unbreakable and ultimately undeniable. Through this connection you bring to you the flow of universal power. All That Is waits for your call, your awareness, your receiving. What will you do, now that you know you can’t fail? Embrace you life! Through your connection, the universe stands ready to support you. What are you waiting for?

Let us start today by discussing resistance. This is a natural feeling within all beings as it is the natural reaction to the natural flow of life. Life has its own rhythm, balance and flow. As humans interact with Life, your own natural rhythms, balances and flows sometimes bump, sometimes flow, sometimes collide with Life. In the collision human beings most often interpret the collision as a sign that something is off, wrong, out of kilter with either Life, others, or themselves.

As humans become more conscious of this process, you think, “OK, I’ll live my life in such a way that collision doesn’t happen.” This is a reaction that chooses resistance. The logic is that by resisting or avoiding collision, life will flow more smoothly, be more comforting, more pleasing. The result is living life by avoiding Life. This creates dependence on resistance and avoidance as they become habit, a way of life. For most of you this dependence has permeated your being so deeply and so profoundly, that it is very difficult to see or feel that not only did you choose to live life in resistance, but that you have the opportunity make a choice NOW to live differently.

Let’s start back at the beginning: Life has its own rhythm, flow and balance. Humans each have their own individual rhythm, flow and balance. Living life is about humans interacting, integrating, and colliding with Life’s flow. This interaction is made up of every type of action and experience you can think of including peace, satisfaction, passion, joy, upsets, disappointments and collisions. There is no point resisting even a part of what Life has to offer because Life will be what Life is, fully and completely. Your resistance to even a part of Life sets up resistance to all of Life and, even more importantly, interferes with your ability to be fully and completely who you are.

The powerful, empowering choice is fullness, wholeness, totality. Choosing only comfort, only the tolerable, the safe never guarantees there won’t be collisions. It only guarantees that the feelings and the results of the collision and resistance will have to go underground or find a different path to get your attention. Since external conflict is always a result of inner turmoil, you can see first hand how resistance channels collisions into other venues hoping to catch your attention.

Joy in life comes from embracing Life’s totality, the good, the bad, the ugly, the challenge, and the safety. Step up for yourself, past your resistance, and claim the wholeness of your life!

Opening the Akashic Records of Mother Earth & Planet Earth, I asked the following question and received this answer.  In the answer “I” is Mother Earth.

Q.  What do we humans do when we realize our country is moving towards war?

A. First I want to say that we understand your anxiety, your horror and repulsion, your resistance to war. Yet to avoid one war do not start another. “Fighting against” is war itself. Most humans in voicing opposition usually do so in a way that the only course of action for your opponent is to do what you do not want. This is what sets up “the war” and makes what you are against more likely to happen.

In fact, when something might happen you don’t think you’ll like, the aggravation is that you are really asking yourself to make a change or shift you don’t think you want or feel ready for. In other words, external conflict is always a reflection of internal turmoil. The potential of the external conflict is responding to your desire to resolve your inner turmoil.

Instead, let the turmoil show you what you can release to bring your spiritual and physical forces in balance with the universe. As your inner turmoil expresses itself in fear, anxiety, confusion and anger, examine these feelings to help you understand your turmoil and begin to find ways to resolve and release. Then you can view the external conflict in a different light knowing that it is really about your own internal experience.

Here is my suggestion: when you hear of something you don’t think would be a good idea to have happen — for example, war — stop and listen to your thoughts and feelings. Why don’t I want this to happen? How will I think I will feel if it does? Go through the layers until you are able to begin to see the roots of your inner turmoil. How will my life be different if this thing happens? How will I accommodate it? Take a further step and ask the most important question: Is this possible event taking me personally into a new way of being that I am trying to resist?

Now you have potent information to understand your internal turmoil and you are ready to release your fear. Begin by understanding one of the most important concepts the universe has to offer you: Everything always happens for the highest good whether or not you can see how it is possible. Our universe is about a continuum of possibility and potential where there is neither good nor bad.

In fear and worry, humans respond without this basic understanding and feel that the choices are either win or loose, good or bad.  A response from this viewpoint will always bring that which you don’t want.  When you release fear and move into the joy of universal possibility, you connect with the universe and open to the unlimited possibilities for the situation.  Released from fear, the Universe can now respond to you in ways you would never dream possible.  In this process of balancing with the universe instead of your inner turmoil, you find a new perspective of the “war”, one where trust and possibility are now your guides.

Opening the Akashic Records of Mother Earth & Planet Earth, I asked the following question and received this answer.  A follow-up question evolved.

Q.  Is there anything you can tell us to help us understand earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, tornadoes, and other physical phenomena that cause many human beings distress and pain?

Physical phenomena are the necessary adjustments that the Earth makes from time to time to accommodate its physical form. These adjustments are never intentional, nor intended to cause harm, upset or inconvenience. These movements of the Earth are similar to the hiccups, burps, and farts of the human body. It is just the way planetary energy needs to accommodate to its form, release energy, let off steam. This is a very natural process.

There is some correlation to the worrisome attention that is given to physical phenomena by humans. If a large group of people in one place think that an earthquake is going to happen nearby at some time in the near future, this attention won’t cause the earthquake to happen but it does make the likelihood of an eruption much stronger.

There is a linear aspect to the physicality of Earth that is similar to the human body. The Earth has its own sense of linear time called Earth Time. Earthquakes and similar types of physical phenomena including the weather happen in time with the Earth’s own sense of timing rather than with the human sense of time.

Let us explain further. Like humans, the Earth is also energy that has also taken the form of matter. The Earth has both a physical aspect and a spiritual aspect. The physical aspect has the time dimension. Because the Earth is energy that has taken the form of matter just like humans, the Earth also has its own timeline, its own sense of time called Earth Time. Earth Time and Human Time are not the same; they are two different times. Human Time is very linear. Earth Time is also linear but has a different rate or rhythm from Human Time. The occurrence of physical phenomena such as earthquakes happens in line with Earth Time and not in line with Human Time. Humans don’t have a sense of Earth Time and don’t need to have a sense of Earth Time because it moves you out of the moment. Besides there is nothing there for you to control and doesn’t need to be part of your awareness. Although as you move into an awareness of higher consciousnesses for yourselves you will become more aware of Earth Time.

Q.  Is this about the natural rhythms of nature?

A. Yes, it is. Whenever energy takes form, becomes matter, energy has a natural rhythm. The oscillation of energy creates a natural rhythm. All energy with form has its own natural rhythm. Humans are in balance with Earth Time when you are in your joy. You don’t need to be worrying about trying to be in balance with Earth Time. All you need to do is concentrate on being in balance with your own individual time. It is all about self responsibility. Ultimately the only choice you have is this: Are you going to be responsible for yourself and live in this powerful moment right Now? Or are you going to jerk yourself out of the powerful Now and live within some other sense of time that will never happen?

The basis of all physical phenomena is a very strong sense of rhythm, ebb and flow, come and go, give and receive. Out of balance with your Now, you are not connected to this foundational rhythm. If you are fully connected in the moment, then you are connected with all sense of time, all sense of rhythm and you will fully understand why the earthquake happened when it did. Earth’s movement of energy will not frighten you or inconvenience you. When you are in balance, everything that happens is what happens. You are in balance with the natural rhythm of the Earth and the universe.

There are two ways for human beings to be in balance. One is for their subtle energies to be in balance. The other is to have past, present and future in balance. We know that whenever you are fully in the present moment, past present and future is always completely balanced. You are also completely connected to all possibility both past and future. With a limited experience of this balanced connection, when you do feel the connection, it feels huge and overpowering. Connection is huge in comparison to the perspective you get when you are living either in the past or in the future but not living in the present. See a ball of steam rising up in to the air and curling over itself in all directions. The column that creates the bubble of steam is you completely in balance and your energy going up and connecting completely with all that is. The ball is made of vortexes of energy curling out in every direction and connecting with everything that is, in all moments. Perfection is in each moment.

Opening the Akashic Records of Mother Earth & Planet Earth, I asked the following question and received this answer.

Q.  Do Mother Earth & Planet Earth have emotions like us?

A. Mother Earth does not feel emotion like a human being. She doesn’t feel sadness or pain. All she feels is joy because Mother Earth is always 100% connected with All that is. Mother Earth is in total consciousness, in total connected being all the time. From your linear point of view she doesn’t have emotion like us.

Planet Earth, however, is a bit different from Mother Earth. Imagine a picture of the Earth and see ripples of waves of energy moving around the Earth. When there is concentrated emotion at some place on Earth, then this concentrated emotion creates a wave. To people that are sensitive, these waves can feel like the energy of the Earth. What they are sensing is the Earth reflecting human energy as waves. If you feel like you are getting sadness out of Mother Earth, what you are getting is the reflected human energy that there is sadness about Mother Earth.

However, the physical body of the Earth does resonate energy. If you take a tuning fork and hit it on a table, there is energy that resonates through the metal of the tuning fork. But that energy is not the tuning fork. But where does it come from? Is it coming from hitting the table? Yes, but is it the table’s energy? There is energy there, but it is not the tuning fork. The Earth says that energy moves through it like a tuning fork, but this energy is not the energy of either Planet Earth or Mother Earth – though it can feel like it. The physical aspect of the planet is much more like a human body where energy does resonate or move through, yet it is not the planet’s energy.

The Earth can also have physical reactions to the movement of that energy. The energy can build up over a period of time and this movement doesn’t have the same cause and effect like humans think of in a linear sense. It almost impossible to be intentional about it. For example, you couldn’t all get together at some place and send a wave of energy through the Earth and make an earthquake on the other side of the Earth. It is not something that is controllable in Human Time.

Opening the Akashic Records of Mother Earth & Planet Earth, I asked the following question and received this answer.

Q.  Many people are worried about depleting the resources of Mother Earth, the woods, the waters, the soil. What can we do to save the planet?

A. First of all, give up the fact that the Earth needs saving. Because as far as we are concerned everything always happens at the right place and time. There is nothing that happens on the Earth that isn’t the right action at the right time. If you have a hard time believing this: understand that there is perfection in each moment. From our point of view, if someone is “polluting” it is what they need to be doing at that place and time. What you call pollution is not something we see as bad. We see it as what that person needs to be exercising at that place and time. While humans may perceive that resources are being used up, it is impossible. Also please see that in all action there is a higher reason. If you perceive that the trees are being used up, the higher reason may be that the trees are making a place for something else to come in. The trees don’t go because someone is doing something bad to them. The trees move on because they are going to the next place in their evolution. Everyone is always moving further along on their highest path – even trees. If you feel like you have to save a forest, it is presumptuous for you to think that you can know what is in a tree’s or forest’s highest good. All you can ever really be certain of (and most people struggle deeply with this) is: what is in your highest good. You are responsible for yourself and you are not responsible for anyone else, anything else. You are not responsible for the trees. You are responsible for bringing yourself joy in each moment. Where is your bliss? How are you connected to the powerful Now? This is your responsibility. When you are focused on your responsibilities, you don’t have time to worry about other people and their responsibilities. If you want to do something to help the planet, the best you can do is to work on becoming aligned with yourself. Finding within yourself that place where you are fully connected to all that is. When you are fully connected, you will also see the perfection that we see in every moment of our existence and yours.

Mother Earth senses arrogance in the statement “the earth needs to be saved”. What some do not understand is that there have been many, many, many human civilizations on Earth and some civilizations from your linear perspective have done much worse to the Earth and yet the Earth is fine. Even if you figured out how to blow up the Earth with a bomb, or something similar, how are you so sure that this isn’t in the Earth’s highest good? And how you are you so sure that this would destroy the Earth? Just as you take form and lose form, take form and lose form, again and again and again and again, the Earth does the same thing. If you are fully connected to your Now, you will not be polluting. There is nothing to “save” except your sense of joy and self-responsibility.

Opening the Akashic Records of Mother Earth & Planet Earth, I asked the following question and received this answer.

Q.  What changes is the Earth experiencing now? Is the Earth moving into another dimension?

A. Saying we are going from the third to the fourth dimension (or whatever the different ways of talking about it that there are) is to miss deeper understanding. These dimensions exist all at one time and we (Mother Earth & Planet Earth) and you are already in them. So it is not something we are moving into. But what is changing is the predominant awareness of where humans are and how humans are aware that they can exist. Awareness is changing. We, Mother Earth and Planet Earth, feel human beings, individually and collectively, are moving into energetic levels that the current civilization of human beings has not yet experienced. This is part of the natural evolution of humankind as we know them right now. It has to do with moving into a level of consciousness that has more awareness of energy and has to do with the results of having lived for a time in a patriarchic, male-dominated, head-dominated, intellect-dominating civilization. Humans are in the process of moving away from this primary domination into one that is more heart-centered and more in balance with All that is. This new way of being doesn’t swing quite so heavily between the poles, between the different dualities. Earth isn’t moving from male into female. Your civilization is moving into a consciousness where male and female exist as one at the same time. You did the female thing, then the male thing, and now all of us together are creating a world of male and female together. It’s all about moving into an awareness that Mother Earth calls Unity Consciousness. From the perspective of Unity Consciousness this whole idea of all these different dimensions that she has heard talk about doesn’t really have any significant meaning. The dimensions exist. But it is not hierarchical nor implies progress in the way humans try to think of it. All that is is multi-dimensional or uni-dimensional depending on your perspective. As humans move into an ability to be in aware of each moment, you will realize that in the moment of Now, there is no difference between dimensions.
