Want to hear a couple of great questions? Here goes. How do we go about our days and nights shining our Divine Radiance? And, how do we hold space for others to shine theirs?...especially when we are a tiny bit or a lot weary?!
Here's a response from the wise ones! In the moment we will know...
Our Heart, Our Love, Our Divine Radiance shares with us in every moment, tenderly and in no uncertain terms...when we inquire of it. Our heart always KNOWS innately that we are only wondrous sparkling oscillating coherent light spheres of Divine Radiance. This Self-Same heart knows innately that it is interacting with other Divinely Radiant spheres of wondrous sparkling oscillating coherent light. Best of all, our heart knows that, at our Core, we are fundamentally One Oscillating Coherent Divine Light held gently within Perfect Love's Unified Source Field. While this is a colorful oscillating mouthful, it's accurate.
The crux is that here inside the dreamtime, our veiled/split-mind can get in the way of our remembering its accuracy. If you're a willing extreme adventurer, check out this simple, powerful game to explore the idea of your Divine Radiance:
Bring to mind a story where your mind tells you in no uncertain terms that you or someone you know (or don't want to know) is most assuredly NOT whole and perfect and a miracle of Life. Rest assured, your heart knows the perfect story to bring into your awareness.
Gently allow a visceral sensation of discomfort with this story to float into your awareness. Invoke your Heart's trust and deepest knowing with this next part. Feel the sensation of discomfort coming up within you, but don't believe the sensation as accurate. Just notice its presence without resisting it. Allow the sensation to be what it is, gently allow the unresisted passing of this energetic sensation through your mind and physical form. (Buddhists call this the path of non-resistance.) Be sure to not respond to the sensation by reinforcing the story in your mind, simply allow your energetic and mental experience to be what it is. Gently let go of the story and simply hold a witnessing, detached awareness of the sensation of visceral discomfort for just a few moments. Now, if you're willin', try somethin' really cool! Ask deeply and powerfully within your heart-mind for Oscillating Rainbow Light or Golden Light [or whatever color(s) of Light feel natural for you--the colors may change or stay the same] to flow into your awareness. Will yourself to let your mind go and allow this Light to make Itself known to you. (To facilitate this letting go into the Light, you may bring into your heart-mind the visceral memory of something you love deeply, for example, an exquisite sunrise, the laughter of a child dear to your heart, your favorite peaceful activity, etc.. Simply allow this visceral memory of peace and joy to flood into your awareness.) Take as long as you need with this part of the adventure. Bringing your Divine Radiance to your awareness is a natural process that occurs in your own timing as you feel comfortable. Be sure to not judge whatever experience you are having in this, or in any moment, inside the dreamtime. Ever. Trust whatever feelings arise throughout this process. There may be many sensations that come up before you find yourself letting go into your Radiance. As you are guided, let worldly memories fade and simply focus on the visceral, vibrating, oscillating sensations that come up. You may also tap on acupressure points on the body if you find this helpful and/or sway or tone during this process. Allow the frequencies of appreciation, gratitude, peace, and Love that you are experiencing vibrationally to replace all discomfort. Do not force or judge this process as it is occurring. If uncomfortable thoughts float in and out that's fine, simply let them float by as easily dismissed thoughts riding on a beautiful sailboat passing over a great crystalline sea. If resistance to this process appears, simply allow the resistance to pass through you unresisted and over the crystalline sea as a gentle wave that affects nothing. Take as long as you like surrendering to your Divine Radiance. Ff you like, swim in the visceral sensation and the Crystalline Sea for as long as you. You will naturally come out of this state when you are ready. When you have returned your consciousness to our dreamtime and are ready to carry on with the activities of your day, this is an ideal time to inquire of your Heart-Self what would be helpful for moving through today's activities. You may find yourself in an exceptional flow, unhindered by any sense of discomfort no matter what you are doing and what comes up. You are now and always helpful, peaceful and awake to Love's/Your Radiance. You can return to this practice any time you desire.

As we undertake to refine our vibrational awareness, it becomes easier to recognize that when our mind speaks to us in discomforting ways, it is simply mistaken and afraid of something we may not yet be consciously aware of. It begins to dawn on our heart that such feelings are nothing to feel badly for, or to feel guilty about, or to fear. They are natural feelings here inside the veiled-mind state. Dissonance e-motion (energy in motion) is part of the dreamtime matrix that we must willing ourselves to transcend or to awaken from by surrendering to the True peace state that lies deeper within our Still Core.
When I am feeling upset/dissonance within my field, I often bring to mind a crying child. This child is feeling the exact same energetic (dreamtime) dissonance I am feeling. A child is strikingly honest in communicating their energetic discomfort, and they are moving it through and out of their fields, rather than stuffing it or acting out in harmful as grown-ups tend to do. As a grown-up who has studied what it means to "enlighten" for a long time, I have the awareness to look within...to my True Self, my Divine Inner Radiance...to help me allow the upset to pass through my mind-body unresisted and without attaching the feelings of upset to an ego or fear story, even though my ego/fear mind may be trying diligently to get me to listen to it. Such an activity of mind feels powerful at first, but if I remove my attention from the story, just as we assist a child to remove her attention from an upset, the feeling of upset quickly passes, and a great healing has just occurred with my psyche.
At first it can take a great act of will to surrender a story and return to the peace, the Radiance, within--this is why it is taking us what seem like generations to wake up or evolve. Indeed, part of our psyche is still pretty darn convinced this dreamtime of humanity is reality rather than an illusory state that veils our Truly Creative Adventures! As A Course in Miracles shares, "You would not react to the dream, if you remembered that you were dreaming." From our veiled state, we simply cannot yet see the powerful healing that takes place when we do not feed dissonant energy with our Source Radiance.
The cool thing is that trusting our Divine Radiance in all circumstances works. It's science. Such a practice cures our amnesia of the Light, even if, from our extremely limited perspective this is taking a lot of time! Persistence and a great sense of humor helps! It is true that we need to practice since we, ourselves, willed to have this extreme adventure into separation consciousness. As Perfect Love would have it, the results of our consistent (and even inconsistent!) practice becomes obvious. As we trust that only the sensations of Love, peace, joy, indeed, any uplifting frequency, are real, we cannot help but wake up! I remind myself as often as it takes that no matter how dire the circumstances appear, all dissonant emotion (energy-in-motion) is caused by an ancient choice within my psyche to Forget My True Self and Oneness with All--as an extreme adventure into amnesia to see what Love/Divine Radiance could make of it! As such, I must call consciously and viscerally (vibrationally) upon this Still Radiant Divine Core, as it will not ever interfere with my free will, the ancient decision, to be a small separate self unaware of its Divine Radiance and fundamental Unity with all Life and with Perfect Love/Source/God.
As we practice gently and peacefully moving our attention away from dissonance passing through the mind and body (the body is a neutral extension of mind that simply responds to the mind's present state, or belief, in either separation/aloneness/lack of safety or Radiance/Oneness/Eternal Safety), we are causing our veiled mind state to lift. This is the realm where miracles become obvious. A practice of this nature is called Light Working (or peacemaking, even though peace is actually nothing that needs to be created. Peace and joy is what we truly are and they exist eternally waiting for us to access them, as we tasted in the exercise above). Indeed, from within the veiled state, we cannot even imagine our True State of the Ultimate or Absolute, unless we have a direct revelatory experience, which are becoming more common among us due to all our Love Trusting these days! (It may be helpful to note that our vibrationally dense physical bodies inside this particular dreamtime simply could not withstand the vibration and the frequencies that are aspects of our True Nature. The body would shatter, and we would find ourselves in Lighter Bodies far more at peace and relatively more or, even fully aware, of our True State.)
Because many of us appear to be here (actually we're not really here at all!) living within the split-mind, or veiled state, where our fundamental Unity and Perfection is sometimes veiled from our conscious awareness, it is okay to conduct our lives inside the dreamtime in ways that helps us gently get used to the idea of our fundamental Unity and our True Nature (and where separation, fear, guilt and lack is incomprehensible). For example, if you feel uncomfortable in a particular situation, it is perfectly fine to honor your common sense in how to proceed in any given moment. Engaging in compassionate communication is one way to honor our own feelings and to make others aware of our discomfort while not making anyone wrong or bad. The more we proceed on this awakening path, the more obvious it becomes that all upset and unwillingness to share abundance is fear and guilt-based, whether or not it is consciously recognized, so it becomes far easier to be compassionate toward ourselves and each other, and to unearth the core issues of safety...that is causing the hoarding of resources and unwillingness to trust our brothers and sisters...that is causing the discomfort.
If we, or others, aren't feeling safe enough to engage in compassionate communication and open-hearted sharing, we already know innately how to proceed in any and all cases. As long as our response carries an oscillating vibration of the slightest willingness to Trust Love and kindness, even if we are terrified and quickly leaving a physical scene, we are awakening. Never doubt that the smallest, instantaneous, flashing moment of reaching within your Still Radiant Core, your Heart Space works miracles for healing all of us!
Simply ask your Radiant Heart to remind you that you are eternally safe and abundant inside Love/Source even if you feel uncomfortable in a given dreamtime moment. (Think of Gandhi or Martin Luther King in moments during their physical departure, or Jesus' story. They deeply understood the dreaming state and held to Love under the most dire of dreamtime circumstances.)
The world is packed with miracles by great teachers and our very selves recognizing how beautiful we all are. Bring to your awareness memories when you gave without thought for gain, or when time stood still in bliss for you, or when you felt all was well with the world and in your heart even though you couldn't explain the experience with your mind. Such are powerful moments of feeling into your True State.) Miracles are happening all over the world in all times and in all places each time we admit to Source and to each other that we are feeling uncomfortable or unsafe without holding to old or making up new stories that have someone being wrong or bad.
Here inside the dreamtime it takes a bit to get used to the idea that the idea that bad guys is simply a confusion of Truth. We can look to any number of stories in the world that we still hang to when we get scared. Nonetheless, the Truth remains true. There is only One of us here having a experience of being separate from each other. Giving the receiving are identical because there is only One Self, known or unknown in this moment.
I know I keep saying the same thing over, but i cannot help it! You and I are too exquisite to not repeat the Truth as often as possible until suffering is no more. This information has been shared in all times and in all places. We know it in our heart or we couldn't and wouldn't keep striving for peace and happiness. In Truth, we are Divine Radiance having a dreamtime of not-Peace, of not-Oneness, of Less Than or Better Than, of polarity and opposites. And we are striving to wake up from our wearying nightmares of dissonance and to re-Cognize our Divine Radiance as Holy Creators of Infinite Dreamworlds.
For our every day lives and upsets, sometimes, gentle, non-judgmental silence is as effective as verbal sharing during an upset. Your heart will guide your response to every situation. Whether our heart asks us to assisting within or to gently remove ourselves from drama stories, each of us is holding in our heart space the Divine Radiance that we all are. We already know how to handle each situation in our life perfectly for our own awakening.
It is vital to note here that we need not be concerned with the awakening of another. Ever. All of our "individualized" awakenings are perfect choreographed by our True Self, our True Nature who knows best. None of us know best for another in the Big Awakening Picture. Our mind is simply too veiled here inside the dreamtime to judge anything at all, except to judge us as Innocent Divine Radiance (the Golden Rule) that is fast asleep to Its True Nature. As such, we simply cannot make a mistake. Our Divine Radiance Shines No Matter What, even if we feel we or another is making errors. We simply forgive it easily because there is nothing to forgive at all. Our Still Veiled Mind is still Oscillating Divine Radiance whether or not our safety-fearing/ego-mind believes it in any given moment.
Indeed, as progress in tuning into our Radiance, the easier it becomes to re-Cognize that our choices are always based on how safe we and others feel in any given moment. To adventure with the accuracy of this statement, re-adventure with the exercise at the beginning of this article (or with any practice you prefer) using any circumstance that causes you visceral discomfort. For maximum effect, just be sure to do the full exercise where the feeling of discomfort...while felt...is allowed to flow through you unresisted and unbelieved and is allowed to naturally dissipate and be replaced with the Truth of What You Are, which is Divine Radiance (felt as either Stillness or Oscillating Frequency), eternally peaceful and joyful.
Even if sustaining the joyful and peaceful state occurs, at first, for only short periods, it is unspeakably powerful for healing our veiled mind. All that is needed is asking Love (Our True State) to heal our veiled, mistaken mind that temporarily believes that we can be harmed. As we adventure in playful, honoring, empowering ways that uplift everyone, our mind is being enlightened no matter what stories still look to be playing out in the world. We truly have lived our way into Being the Solution rather than perpetuating the illusory problem.
Thank you for your Shining Your Light!
