All the Signs Say This is Next

September 18, 2011 in Spirituality

Seeing an UFO shouldn’t have surprised me. After all, I believe that exploring new ideas is how I grow, especially when those ideas contradict my lifelong belief systems. I’ve explored a lot of new ideas over the past few years so it makes sense that I would have to look at UFOs since I have not done that yet.

In addition, I should have seen this coming. Last spring, I stumbled across the ZetaTalk website while researching another topic. Books by Zacharia Sitchin, Immanuel Velikovsky, and Richard Hoagland have recently come across my desk. A new client, without prompting, suddenly told me the story of her family’s encounter with an UFO that started a series of remarkable synchronicities for her.

I write about my experiences with ZetaTalk in the Future Section of this website so I won’t repeat myself here.

The books by Sitchin, Velikovsky, and Hoagland were interesting and entertaining. They told about beings from another time and another place that came to Earth. They proposed theories about how these beings designed and created many of the remarkable monuments on Earth including the great pyramids and sphinxes on both hemispheres. Hoagland believes this includes the pyramidal structures on Mars while pointing out that Cairo was originally named El-Hahira, from the Arabic El-Kahir, meaning “Mars.” Sitchin uses ancient texts, including the Bible to support his claims. Velikovsky uses myths and scientific research for his support. Hoagland uses his experience as a NASA consultant and CBS News advisor.

My client has numerous college degrees including two masters and a doctorate. In addition, she was mentored by several great spiritual minds and has a wealth of experience as a therapist. Her experiences completely shocked her and changed the way she works with her clients.

I know that the cue for me to explore a new idea is when I experience a series of related events about that idea. I assume that I’ve attracted those events to benefit me at some level so I relax into them and see if I can understand the lesson.

Therefore, when the UFO appeared during dinner on the evening of September 2, I wasn’t surprised. I just added something else to my research list.

Other than evaluating the Zetas’ Earth change predictions, I had not explored the UFO ideas that much. Sitchin, Velikovsky, Hoagland, and my client told interesting stories but I wasn’t ready to consider all the ramifications.

Now, since I don’t have an explanation for the quiet, bright light that flew in from the north, hovered over our family, flew out to the east, and vanished, I know that I have to consider all of the ramifications of where my experiences are taking me.

If I had any doubts, I attended a lecture by Neale Donald Walsch Friday evening. He was talking about changes in our society and finished a list of changes by saying, “We’re going to be surprised when the aliens show up and say, ‘Hello earthlings.’”

In spite of all the indicators that say it is time to learn more about the topic, I am hesitant to start. I’ll explain more in a future article.

What would you do if you were me? Would you ignore this series of events? Would you try to learn more about this topic? If so, where would you look?

A Peaceful World Requires This

September 18, 2011 in Opinion

I was chatting with a new client recently when she asked a question that inspired me. I shouldn’t have been surprised. In our brief time together, I had quickly recognized she had insight on life and business that was far above the average. My new client already had a career as a successful fashion designer and now wanted to start a self-supporting school to teach others how to do this.

The question demonstrated her commitment to success. It communicated an underlying frustration with those who doubt their personal ability to do what the heart says to do. It resonated with me at such a level that I thought about it for weeks. In fact, I’m still thinking about it.

What was the question?

It was, “How much longer can we pretend we are amateurs?”

The question allowed me to give a big fist pump and scream “YES!” It caused me to sigh at how often we settle for second best. It pushed me to do everything I can do to follow my heart. It brought tears to my eyes as I remembered how often we criticize others for their efforts.

As amateurs, we think we aren’t good enough so we don’t do anything. We think we can never succeed. We stay within the safety of school, afraid to participate in life. We pursue jobs for the purpose of making a living. We pay tuition to learn knowledge. We accept wages for less than our value.

As professionals, we know we aren’t good enough and we do it anyway. We know we will succeed, in spite of setbacks. We actively participate in life, knowing that life is the ultimate school. We pursue our passion for the purpose of making a life. We get paid for learning wisdom. We receive fees comparable with our value.

Those who desire a fulfilling life can no longer pretend we are amateurs when our hearts know we are professionals. The world is not benefitted by anyone playing small. It is time for everyone to play big, be a professional, and express the passions of their hearts.

Our world is shifting. We are moving into a more peaceful place. This requires all of us to follow our heart and live with love. The answer to my client’s question is obvious.

We can no longer pretend we are amateurs.

Therefore, on my 50th birthday, I give myself permission to be a professional writer by starting this website.

Thank you for reading and thank you for participating.
