Good evening, Higher Self. It’s been awhile since I’ve written. I’m very happy to read some prior writings tonight and to derive some inspiration. I’ve been resisting! But I do have questions – about open communication and also about resisting inspiration. Are they connected?Yes, indeed they are connected, and yet everything in our lives is connected if we look deeper. When you see a tree, you see perhaps the leaves on the tree flutter in the breeze. But you see each leaf connected to a branch, and branches connected to the trunk, and the trunk to the roots, and the finer roots ease into the nuances of the soil, and the soil extends into the entire earth, and the earth reaches up into the sky, and on and on. From this beautiful planet and everything on it and within it and above it you can see that there is a connection between each and every physical thing, each and every person, each and every thought, and each and every happening.
You see, we are energy beings. And the earth is energy. And the Universe is energy, and all of Creation and all of the Cosmos is energy in its purest form and in its every expression. There is no separation between you and every single minute or grandiose thing in the Universe.
Now this is a mighty, expansive concept. But when you can accept it as fact, you can understand that there is meaning to everything and there is a consequence to everything, even to the tiniest thought that is “thunk” within a microsecond, and to the greatest of physical events, for example, an earthquake or a volcanic eruption.
In truth, there is a great deal of connection between the thoughts of man and the physical events of the earth – the so-called “acts of God.” You see, the “acts of God” are truly the outcome and the energetic expression of the thoughts of man, because you as mankind and Earth are symbiotic elements of each other; you were born of each other and you operate in tandem to provide for one another. You need Earth and Earth needs you. Earth is your Mother. You are born of the seeds of Earth, and Earth cooperates to show you the effects of your thoughts and the reality of “think and it shall be so.”
Mankind does not believe in general that he influences the Earth, but believe me when I say it is true that you do indeed influence the Earth to be all that she is in her own “body, mind, and spirit.” Earth has these elements even as you do. She is a consciousness, and she expresses her masterful, grand consciousness just as you do.
So let us move back to the questions you asked about open communication and resistance. Open communication is an ethical value. It is how we express ourselves, as humans, when we are living in loving energy. You see, love is who we are. And so when we are living the love that we are, we express ourselves in and by that loving energy. This is what Earth does as well, and yet Earth is never out of her loving energy. But mankind is, often is, invariably is when he lives from the fear that we have seen in the behavior of man for millennia, for aeons.
Look at your history, and you see the face of communication that is steeped in fear. You see the effects of the fear: greed, disasters, anger, death, wars, rape, pillaging, “to the victors go the spoils,” dominance, control, etc. Within these energies the communication – the expressions – are not loving and open, but rather closed.
To communicate openly, we would see cooperation, kindness, compassion, helping, singing, dancing, caring, and happy connections between people and with Earth. Do you see this kind of energy being expressed? If you do not, then you can know that man is not always communicating openly.
To communicate openly we speak a loving truth. Truth is multifaceted indeed, but in essence it is unilateral in that in essence it is loving. Truth is not truly truth if it is compromised by fear. To speak lovingly to another person is to speak from the heart and to speak or to behave in ways that affirm your sense of equality with the other person, your sense of valuing, appreciating, honoring, trusting, and believing in – having faith in - the full and uncompromised worth of the person with whom you are speaking or interacting. This is open communication. It is the openness of the soul and spirit, the heart, the deepest heart of man.
Now, if you are in resistance to expressing these elements, these ethical values, then you are in fear. And fear is a stopper. Fear is what stops the true and unbridled flow of the goodness of us. Fear can be fear of loss, fear of truth, fear of being, fear of dying, fear of God being angry at us, fear of not being accepted by others, fear that we have sinned, fear that we are unworthy, fear that we have done something wrong, fear that we will lose our job, fear that we are not safe, fear that we do not have enough of something, like enough money or enough good looks or enough of a house or enough status or enough friends. There are myriad fears, truly uncountable fears and fear beliefs, which all lurk in our subconscious mind.
As mankind, we have built an incredible tower of fears. The Tower of Babel was a tower of fears, and it was the fears in that symbolic story that caused man to abridge his free flow of communication and find that the thoughts of love and truth could no longer come forth. Hence, man could not communicate effectively. So you see, this story is a symbol of what happens when our fears predominate. Fears cause our tongue to freeze, or to zigzag, or to produce what is not harmonic sound. Fear and fear beliefs are the stoppers. Remember this.
But the speak openly, to think openly, this is what we want because open communication produces feelings of elation and happiness and joy and a sense that we are in harmony with life and with the rhythms of nature and the pulse of the world. Open communication draws people to us because they see our happiness and our sense of connectivity, and they want a piece of that action – they want to feel what we feel.
So each of us can be an image and an example to others of what true open communication is. When we embrace this ethical value, it is a magnetic energy that attracts others and expands upon itself. It is one of the greatest of the ethical values because it is an expression of who we are as spirit energy. Our thinking and speaking are part of our spirit senses. So to think loving thoughts and to deliver these loving thoughts outwardly to others and indeed inwardly toward our own selves as well – this is to live our spirit energy in a high form.
It is a challenge in the physical world to live our spirit energy. And yet this is what the Christ Consciousness did in the life of Jesus, who showed himself – and by virtue of this he showed mankind – how to live spirit energy in human form, how to be divine in human form. What a gift this was of the spirit of Adam and Enoch and Amelius and Joseph and all the lives that were the soul path of the Christ Consciousness as that consciousness was expressed in human form. The lesson and the example was how to be divine while living in human form, in the physical plane.
For us to embrace open communication is to let go of resistance to our spirit energy, and to allow all that we are to be expressed. Communication IS expression, and open communication is the free flowing of expression. As the river flows freely, so mankind in his heart wishes his life, and all that he is within, to be expressed, to be SHARED with all that is. There is no separation between us and All That Is, except as we perceive and thus create separation.
So let go of the idea of separation, and allow all that you are to be expressed. Let your heart flow freely, let your thoughts flow freely, let your mind be true to your heart, and allow all to be expressed so that you will connect in the energy of openness and freedom with all that is, with all your friends and family and brethren of any kind. You will expand the goodness and your life will ever feel richer for it.
Today, open communication flows from your fingertips. You share in goodness and in the spirit of giving to yourself and giving to others. This is open communication, and it will bless you today and always.
Share, and express openly, and be the love that you are within. It moves mountains, and it will bring all good things home.
