How And Where Did Your Spiritual Leap Begin?

What was a major turning point in your life that assisted in your leap? What transpired that helped you on your spiritual journey? howwhere

I had the opportunity this past week to go back to a place where it all began for me. I want to share that story with you.

The thing that stood out for me in going back was how far I’ve come. It was like visiting the college you graduated from. You see your old professors and everything is going along as it was when you went there – but you are different. You took that experience and knowledge and you formed your life.

In my twenties, I made a choice to seek my spiritual path. Not the path I was raised on or expected to follow, but my own.

Then things began happening.

To keep this from being a novel, I’ll list the next few events:

I began studying my dreams and went looking for any book I could on dream work. (I mainly studied Carl Jung at that point)
At some point in the study of my dreams, I came across the magazine that the Association for Research and Enlightenment put out called Venture Inward. This is the Edgar Cayce Foundation in VA Beach, VA. I had no idea who Edgar Cayce was, but the dream work from a spiritual perspective intrigued me.
One day when taking my kids to the Library in Albuquerque, I was slowly walking down the aisles as my kids were playing in the children’s area. At one point, a book literally fell off a shelf and landed at my feet. It was called There is a River – The Story of Edgar Cayce. I checked it out and read the entire book that night.
That book was exactly what I needed to bridge that gap I felt between my traditional upbringing and the new more metaphysical things I was learning. I was so intrigued by his story and by what the A.R.E was doing and what Edgar Cayce taught from his readings, that I subscribed to Venture Inward.
I discovered more and more through their magazine. I found an Edgar Cayce study group in Albuquerque and studied the readings. I knew that I wanted to learn more and be a teacher of metaphysics someday. (I had no idea I’d have a daughter who channeled!)
I would spend each day daydreaming about living near the A.R.E and being able to study there. My new spiritual path was exciting and I was changing and growing, but I was trying to do it all alone and I was craving peers and teachers. I kept all of this to myself. I sure as heck couldn’t say to my hubby, “Let’s move to Virginia!”
The A.R.E in Virginia Beach, VA

( I had never been further east than Louisiana.)

One day hubby came home from work and announced that he had lost his job. We both did the usual freak out thing…Albuquerque wasn’t exactly the best place to find a good job and we had three small children to take care of.

We did the usual hunt-for-work thing for a few months to no avail. Then one evening I got a phone call from a close friend who lived in Utah. She said her hubby was driving to VA and asked if he could spend the night with us?

I said of course he could!

He arrived and we picked his brain about why he was going to VA. He told us a new power plant had been built and he was going for a job interview there.

We asked how he knew about the job and he told us the name of the guy who told him about the job.

Well, the guy was my hubby’s long lost best friend! We had lost track of him and his wife over the years (this was pre-internet).

We called him up and after catching up asked about this power plant. He filled us in on the details of the small town and the power plant.

When they hung up, I said to my hubby – we are moving there in 2 weeks.

We owned a home, had no money to move on and there was absolutely NO guarantee that hubby could get a job at the plant. We had never been to VA, and we had no idea what it was like there!

But, we did it. We packed up and left in 2 weeks’ time – sight unseen, no home to move into and no money.

But it all worked out, every little step along the way.

AND – the town this plant was in? An hour inland from VA beach.

I immediately began going to the A.R.E and practically lived in their extensive Library. (The largest metaphysical library in the world!)

That continued my spiritual studies in such a rich and exciting way.

That was in 1991.

Alternative health, Astrology, Numerology and Divination were my primary topics, but I immersed myself in many and had years of being able to uplevel my life. I ended my clinical depression, got healthy and in shape and taught my kids to follow their bliss.

When I discovered what the playing cards were really all about, I knew that was the topic/tool I was meant to share and teach. All I had learned on my journey had prepared me for what I do now.

While we were at the A.R.E. this past week, we listened to a lecture on Reincarnation.

What stood out for me was how much the speaker talked about how we, as souls, come to Earth for the experiences and growth we get here.

The number “5” is the number of man, the number associated with earth. It represents the five senses. We come here to evolve and grow as souls. (Which allows Source to evolve as well!)

Someone in the audience asked why would we want to come here and live over and over when we could just be in the spirit realms?

It is because this is such an excellent school! I could go on and on about what the number 5 represents. Look at an apple, how many seeds does it have when you cut it in half? Five. Even the numerology of America is a “5” (7+4+1776 = 5)

The birthday of our Federal Government is also a “5” (3+4+1789= 5).

And Edgar Cayce was a 5 of Diamonds!

The Five is about change and requires action. Change has been a HUGE buzzword lately – for me personally and for society as we are moving though such an intense time in history. (more on that topic when I begin my posts about America’s forecast for this year via the cards).

But, I bring it up here because that was what stood out for me the most in going back to the A.R.E.

I had changed. I had grown. I had evolved.

The A.R.E. was my school and the tool that helped me change and build my foundation. I grew into learning from my omniscience and by using the tool that resonated with me the most (the cards).

My oldest daughter (Randi) was just in elementary school when we would go there is now channeling. My youngest daughter works with autistic kids – but in a way that sees them not as defective, but as special beings with a message for us, for they are here to live through a different lens.

My son has created a creative community in Santa Cruz and produces music with musicians who have a vital message to share regarding how we treat one another and how important our connection is to our planet.

We sat in the gardens there (it was the kids favorite place when they would go with me) and we did a channeled session. All three of us owe a lot to the A.R.E. 20160726_164555

We can look back and see the incredible journey that led us to where we are now.

And best yet, we know that we still have a LOT more ahead on our journey!!

The King of Spades – What is Self-Mastery?

The King of Spades. He is the King of Kings –and this card epitomizes Self-Mastery – which is what we are all striving for, right?

What is this self-mastery that the King of Spades teaches us? King_spades

When I posted the channeled session about What is Living as a Multidimensional Being? I wondered what card epitomized living fully as a multidimensional being.

It is truly the King of Spades. the highest card in the deck – the card we are working towards becoming in how we live.

This card sits at the intersection of the Sun and Saturn in the Earth Spread.

At first glance, this can seem confusing (at least it did to me) because Saturn is the planet of restrictions, self-discipline, challenges, limitations and Father Time. It is also considered the planet of Karma.

It is the planet with a ring around it. I call it the putting-us-in-a-time-out-box planet. It is like that awful P.E. teacher that made us run sand hills and the bleachers until our lungs and legs burst into fire and disintegrated before our very eyes.

Now, I get why we need challenges. The running of those sand hills created toned, lean, strong legs several months later. We benefitted from it and once we got through it, we could look back and thank that P.E. teacher and those sand hills.

But, I still didn’t get why the King of Spades sat in that position.

Let’s look at what Self-Mastery is all about:

Mastery is a state of alertness and clarity in the moment.
It is a state of awareness that gives you freedom to move spontaneously, able to respond to what is needed in the moment.
It is NOT a function due to a static body of knowledge.
It is active, conscious awareness of the moment
It is being ready for masterful action because of confidence, conviction and a knowing of the appropriate (notice I didn’t say “right”) thing to DO in the moment, without hesitation.
It is living in a state of being present – of having a presence; presence of mind and being.
This presence is powerful, charismatic, magnetic and commanding.
It is being a powerful leader who leads through their unique perspective (they know the importance of expressing their perspective, but to also be open to the perspectives of others.)

Because of the above qualities, they draw to themselves the resources, circumstances and people that allows them to reach their goals.

They know that no matter what is occurring; whatever is showing itself – people, ideas, attitudes, unexpected situations and changing circumstances- that they will maintain a state of equanimity. (A state of calm, level-headed, unperturbed awareness)

He knows that every single view, thing and person has value.

He knows that there is no need to resist situations. (this is not about living with zero discernment or thinking that everything that is going on is OK – it is about realizing that because we are of the Whole, everything and everyone is THEM.)

He views life from the whole; he examines it from the whole; he allows for all of it.

He knows that every situation could be the catalyst for a solution or innovation.

The King of spades is the King of Kings. It is the last card in the suit of spades- the last suit.

Spades are the culmination of all. The suit represents our challenges and experiences that help make us wise. It represents our work, our health and our spiritual life.

If you think about those areas of our life, it pretty much sums up everything. Our work affects our health and happiness.

Our health affects our work and happiness.

Our spiritual beliefs affect our health and work and happiness.

The King of Spades represents living from the realm of Infinite Possibility.

This is why we strive to live with self-mastery. It puts us in this position of living opened to solutions and surprises that are beyond our immediate view.

Back to his placement of Saturn and the Sun.

The Sun represents our life force. It is consciousness and creativity. It is aware and it creates. It is what creates life.

If Saturn is the hard task-master, then it is those situations that make us uncomfortable. It is those viewpoints, ideas, people and situations that, when viewed from this higher place, create the better solutions and reveal beneficial possibility.

Saturn is the 5^th planet. The astrological glyph looks like a 5. Five is the number of change, of uncertainty and exploring new ideas and ways of being.

We cannot expand our consciousness if we never experience other perspectives.

The number five tells us to be open to change.

The King of Spades has the ability to be open to the idea that anything that shows up is valuable even when we disagree with it because it is likely to be a contributing factor in the result we want to produce, particularly when the result we are after is unprecedented. Evolution and expansion can only happen when we go beyond what already is.

The essence of life is uncertainty and unpredictability. This self-mastery of the King of Spades is the ability to read the uncertainty and use it.

Imagine this: Being open to any possible occurrence, any idea, any belief or situation as integral to the process that will bring about your desired result.

How would your life be different?

What is Living as a Multidimensional Being?

Here at Create the Leap we share how to live the entirely of you – to live as the multidimensional being that you are.

But what is living as a Multidimensional Being?

So, I asked this question in a session and this post is the response to that question.

Dali: So the topic of multidimensionality or the the word “multidimensionality” is a little bit of a fuzzy one to the person who is not fully familiar with the term. It is almost like the term the universe -what does the universe even mean?

So we will attempt to explain it with a little bit more precision.

A human being in your focused frequency, in your now, is doing many things at one moment.

To be multidimensional is to have your reality focused in multiple dimensions at one time.

That might seem a little wild to you; a little “Back to the Future” for you to realize that you might be in several different dimensions at one time, but we would say to you, you are now in many familiar dimensions.

In other words, as you sit reading this material, you are a cellular being. Your heart is beating. Your breath is moving through your body. Your food is digesting, or your stomach is crying out for more food. Your brain is sending synapses through your body. Your hair is growing. Your nails are growing. Your bug bites are itching, or you are hearing sounds that the brain is processing as background noise. Your eyes are reading the lines of this. You are recalling memories or associative images from reading this material. You are swallowing perhaps, or you are thinking about what will come after reading this material and we would say to you that all of this is happening in your now and in multiple layers which we are calling dimensions.

So it may be a little bit of a foreign concept to consider being hungry as a different dimension from processing and reading material, but it is. Because dimension is simply a place of energy; a focusing of energy that results in a reality or a world of recognizable focus.

So the digestive system exists on an energetic dimension. The mind exists on another energetic dimension.The physical body and the shared construct of your focused dream (as living this reality and this particular place and time) is another dimension and often we would characterize that as a density as well, so DD becomes a more appropriate term for this sort of thing. [DD = Density/Dimension or Diaphanous Dream]

When you think about constructs that you would just simply say is your daily life, we would say that that is a DD – a repetitive experience of a frequency that is a culmination of many dimensions.

Such as your processing of food, your heart beating, your breathing, your cognitive processes, your creating of a baby if you are pregnant, your cumulative history or personality that also recognizes abilities. So if you know how to play the saxophone, then you carry that dimension of frequency within you so that when you pick up the saxophone, you simply play it. But we would say the same to you with any skill.

So being able to exist in a DD as a human and a body and carrying with you all these multiple frequencies that are your personality: that are your humor; that are your abilities; that are your desires; that are your repetitive motions; that are your body in its state of being – all of these are culminated into something that we refer to as multidimensional.

This same application of that definition carries over to being multidimensional in the non-physical existence.

In the same way that your body is creating all these levels of processing – as well as the brain and the personality – understanding what abilities and what focus it exists as, we would say to you that non-physically you are souls – you are in a soul organization and you are also your version of your focused frequency.

You understand yourself as that person with a particular birthday, with a particular focus on today’s date, but there is also all the other versions of you that exist from your birthday to the present now.

Again, time is an illusion, and yet there’s a shared construct of all of the infinite versions of you that exist from your birthday to every little nuance of decision that you did or did not make, every little nuance of action that you did or did not make, every little nuance of dream that you followed or did not follow.

In other words, you can imagine being born and let’s say another nurse is on shift or an incident happened to this little baby. Maybe she hit her head and became deaf or maybe she had a meal at a different time. So you can see that the cause and effect of all things that happen in focused frequency create another version that splits off, in a sense, from that main focused frequency that you would consider as you.

So if you would imagine a fanning effect as a spherical construct of: You exist in the center and yet there are infinite points of focus circling around you.

Now we would say to you that this is your energetic extension, for as a multidimensional being you are also all of those versions of yourself in the same way that you are all the cells in your body; in the same way that you exist as all of the constructs of your past experience.

You identify yourself as a particular person in a particular body with a particular history, but we would say to you that as an expanded multidimensional being, you also exist as all the alternate timelines and this is what we mean when we say all of those alternate versions of you – from your birth date – are part of your energetic extension in the same way that your cells in your body have intelligence and they have a unique purpose. Every single cell, they are your energetic extension and so is every alternate timeline of you, every other version of you.

So we can go broader and broader and broader in our examples of multidimensionality in the sense that we are simply just speaking initially of you from your birthday and every energetic deviation of that. We would say that goes even further. There are those versions of you that were born on different days or to different parents, born in different countries, or different nationalities. That’s when one truly understands what everyone might be calling a past life, but we are simply calling alternate lifetimes.

Alternate timelines differ, for a timeline denotes Randi as she was born and Randi as she understands herself from her conception of being on this Earth (called a “personality”).

An alternate lifetime is Randi energetically represented in other physical constructs of matter – so other bodies, other lives, other cultures… If you would take that even further, she is just as much the alien from our planet Rain as she is the past life of her being a connoisseur of the arts in Spain in the 1600s.

We are wanting to alert you to the fact that you all are ready in this Age of Omniscience to foster your energetic relationships, in the same way that you have become very accustomed to understanding the processes of your body, and the extent of your personality, and the extent of your reality.

We would say to you that in the Age of Omniscience, your multidimensionality is simply expanded to the sense that you carry with you (as you carry with you the information from every cell within your body) the information from every life, timeline, and manifestation of you in non-physical matter and physical matter that you may not include in your physical reality.

You cannot see, smell, taste, touch or feel them, and yet you can just as easily learn (as if you were a child learning to process your sensory data and construct a physical reality from your experience)…you just as easily can construct an expanded reality that includes non-physical and physical, and connect threads to all of these lifetimes and learn how to access and be in these alternate bodies and be in this alternate version of yourself and understand what another alternate version is feeling. You can understand what happened to you when your parents stayed together instead of divorcing, understand what happened to you when you took that job or didn’t take that job.

So what we are saying to you is that being multidimensional is simply accessing your energetic extension, and truly your energetic extension is infinite. For as an omniscient being, you are all things and Source experiencing itself – whether that is a physical manifestation, non-physical: the thought form, idea form, or a dream form – it all exists right now.

Just as a baby is learning to be in a physical body and construct a reality as you all have understood it, you are learning to experience your omniscience.

We will be guiding you through, in a sense, on how to walk in the Age of Omniscience. We are holding your hands and we are there to catch you when you fall, and we would say to you, that you are ready to experience this and take those first steps, or more appropriately, take that leap into something that you know energetically, that you have been living; you are simply extending your focused frequency into that which may seem unfamiliar to you, but that you are already knowing in an expanded sense.

You are remembering what it is to walk. We are assuring you that when the baby is born, the baby is born with that information on how to walk. And it’s not only in its body, and its genes, and it’s DNA as I will learn how to walk, but there’s a multidimensionality, even to the the small child, that is alerting it to those stages of growth. If you were to expand that metaphor wide wide wide, it is you all in this focused frequency having that information within you to alert you to now is the time – let us go from learning to walk in our energetic extension to leaping into being all things in this construction of the Universe and beyond.

How Can The Seven of Spades Help Us Live Our Multidimensionality?

How can the 7♠ help us live our multidimensionality?

This week’s card is the 7 of Spades. It is the card of Faith and Trust. It can mean that we might be going through some difficulties, stress or an inner struggle that helps us grow. Of course, stress and difficulties can result in an illness because our body holds what we’ve yet to process. Stress lowers our immune system and we catch colds, have allergy attacks or sometimes worse.

trust_7spades

Think about how your life is a particular way because of a belief you hold. Let’s use the example of believing in aging and that you start going downhill after age 30.

Due to that belief, you seem to have more aches and pains than others your age. You find gray hairs early. You get tired more often. You seem to no longer enjoy life or things fall into a very boring rut.

Then due to a variety of things, you realize that belief doesn’t serve you well and you change it. You let go of that belief and you take on the new belief that YOU are in complete control of how your body ages and that you don’t have to assign any particular age as any particular way of being.

Suddenly, your life changes. You feel younger. You find things to do that make you happy. You have more energy. You create a list of all the things you want to accomplish and you set out to do them. You stop cringing at birthdays and your friends notice how much younger you look.

THAT change in you, in your life, in your experiences is a new version of you. It actually changes some of your cells, it can affect how you look, feel and think. You are different. There is a new version of you. It sets up a new reality for you to live in.

You now have a new focused frequency!

Because time isn’t linear, the old you still exists. There is that version of you – the one aging quickly and not enjoying life – that still exists. And there is the new you. A new you simply because you changed a belief.

Because of the new belief, new people, experiences and feelings will now flow into your life. You are now heading in a new direction in your life.

Several things can happen now – and this is where the “trust” of the 7♠ comes into play.

You are eating differently now. You are out enjoying life now. Then, suddenly, something happens that scares you or makes you think your change is bogus (like losing friends because of it).

At that point you have to make a choice. You can’t have one foot on the dock and another foot on the boat. You are either all in the new way, or you go back to the old way.

Trust is an energy and we place that energy on things and beliefs. A child easily places their trust – all of it- on what they believe is possible. But, as adults, we tend to start rationalizing things and we wavier or split our trust energy up, hoping to hedge our bets.

Now you have split and dissipated energy. Your trust is no longer at 100% on the new belief that you are in control of your aging. It is like you took that new wide open door that Source was flowing new things to you through and you shut it part way.

What you have done is dissipated your own power.

100% trust and faith is 100% of your power to have what you truly want.

If you have had any type of religious background, faith and trust might mean that you have to believe in a God and that you just go through life blindly – following the will of that Higher Power. That can feel unsure because how can we know the will of said Higher Power? At that point, we hand over our power and while we might be told that we are living with blind faith, we are actually denying our birthright power to live who we are.

The Faith & Trust that the 7♠ speaks to us about is the 100% power that comes with 100% trust in a belief.

A belief is only as strong as the amount of trust energy we place in it. When we fully trust in a belief, it is very powerful and can change our lives.

100% trust equals 100% power.

Powerful people place their trust energy fully in what they believe in, directing that energy into what they believe is possible and to what they want – increasing their ability to manifest.

You choose a new reality – a new you- when you place your trust 100% on a belief about yourself and life. That 100% trust opens a door that allows a new reality to happen for you. A new dimension of you is born. That trust energy is not bound to just the physical. It is now part of your consciousness and it reaches beyond the limits of time and space.

This way of being – this ability to choose a new you and to have that reach beyond time and space is living as a multidimensional being. You have the power to make a choice – to choose what focused frequency you want to live at any moment.

Let’s go back now to the 7♠ card. In a forecast, it can speak to a possible struggle, an illness, stress or an event that challenges our faith and trust in something. (A belief.)

Seven’s always speak to “spiritual challenges,” BUT – what it is challenging or what it is helping to show us is a belief that might not be serving us, or is blocking us from what we really want in life. How this plays out is filtered by the planetary period the 7 card is in.

Using the example again of the belief in aging – let’s say that that person had the 7♠ in their Saturn period. Their belief in aging is suddenly highlighted due to their unhealthy lifestyle habits – let’s say they have been holding onto negative thoughts about themselves for a long time – such as I’m too old now to have fun or I have too many responsibilities to enjoy life. These thoughts have manifested as an illness and a lot of stress at work. They eat on the run and only processed food, ignoring any indication that their body gives them about needing real nutrients to thrive. Let’s say they end up with severe chest pain and they have to go to the hospital and have tests run for several days. They are finally forced to do something about their unhealthy lifestyle (which resulted from their belief in aging fast and no longer being able to enjoy their life.)

This becomes a challenge that presents an opportunity. (All challenges present an opportunity for us.)

While most people get told to make some changes by their doctor or they get put on some prescription drug (which can actually escalate an issue, but I won’t go there in this post!) and things might change for them, the person who is seeking to make their lives better (and uses guideposts such as the cards) can take this opportunity to check in and see what needs to change in their lifestyle and ways of thinking – aka — what belief has created this issue.

The 7♠ wants us to ask ourselves: Where am I placing my trust energy? Am I placing it 100% on a belief that is causing this issue? Or, am I 50% here and 50% there, thus dissipating my power? Am I using my full power to change my life and choose a new reality – a new me?

We might cringe when we see a 7 card in our forecast. We might look at the 7♠ and think it means we need to have faith in God. There is nothing wrong with that – the power in the belief that God will take care of you is like any other belief – it yields results based on the trust energy given to it.

The vibration of belief is unstoppable.

Living as a multidimensional being means we can take that card – that indicator of a potential challenge that is an opportunity — and choose a new reality – a new life, a new you – because you are a multidimensional being!

What is it Like to Change in Frequency?

change_frequency

What is it like to change your frequency?

Over the past few weeks, I’ve been thinking a lot about what has happened to me and to Randi since March 27^th – the day we decided to become biz partners and share the information she was receiving through her channeling.

I have experienced odd physical sensations and I think a lot about Ashley Maple – about transforming into Ashley Maple.

Who is Ashley Maple?

I wanted to share this story with you, as it is a big part of this week’s forum topic: Manifesting in the NOW! (Already a member? Here is the forum topic. Not a forum member? Go here to become one!)

You can read the condensed version of why Create the Leap changed here, but I wanted to elaborate on a few details.

On March 27^th, under a big oak tree covered in Spanish moss, in Airlie Gardens, Randi and I did a session for me. I needed answers and was very distraught.

I was guided to pick a word that would be the name to represent the “future” me. I immediately saw in my mind’s eye a maple leaf floating in the air and picked “Maple.”

I was then guided on seeing me in the future and that me would be represented by the name Ashley Maple. Where was she? What was she doing?

I saw her dancing with other women on green grass (like in a pretty park), then sitting in a circle and teaching. Then I saw her in an RV, traveling and meeting new people on a regular basis. She was happy, healthy and always dancing.

The session went on to explain that the future me already existed – but at a different frequency and in a different dimension. And that we have access to any dimension we wish to tap into and we can become any of the versions of ourselves we desire by changing our frequency to match that version. This is how we manifest something we want in our life.

Now, that can all sound very woo-woo sci-fi (especially of you aren’t used to that manifesting lingo). But by seeing that version of me and giving her a name, I could tap into her. It also allowed me to see that I would be OK. Things weren’t as devastating as I felt they were at the time.

As the weeks passed and we were being taught through Randi’s channeled sessions, I kept Ashley Maple in my mind. I would see her in her RV, at gatherings, teaching with Randi and traveling.

I was researching RVs and going to look at all the various models and floor plans and at the nearby RV parks. I was picking the brain of a close friend of mine who was living full-time in an RV.

The more we did with the new work and the more I tapped into Ashley Maple, the more I saw changes within me. Not just with my attitude, but my dreams and my body.

I was having stretches of days where I was dog tired and needed over 9 hours of sleep. I was craving certain foods and not wanting food I normally ate. I was envisioning life in my RV – cooking, eating, doing yoga, walking my dog in the RV park, talking to other RVers and maneuvering my big truck/fifth wheel RV down the road.

I was also questioning all that was happening. Who was I to share this work? Was this for real? How did I get so lucky to actually get to do something I’ve always wanted to do?

And of course the BIG question: HOW was I going to GET said truck and fifth wheel?

The more sessions we did, the more I grasped that it was simply about changing my frequency to that of “Ashley Maple.”

She owned the RV and was doing what I want to do. She already existed. She was already doing her thing. I didn’t have to figure out how to get the RV or how to go from where I was to where she was in a linear fashion, I just had to change my frequency/vibration and become her.

It has been a gradual change. Little things have happened that might not even look like a frequency change, but is part of the process.

It took my close friend over a year to get her life changed around to go from living in a nice suburban house to living in an RV full-time. You have to downsize, you have to only have things in your kitchen supplies that are necessary and won’t break if they go bump while on the road. You might need a storage unit and you’ll switch out seasonal clothes. No more knick-knacks and you don’t need furniture.

I saw myself getting aggravated at not living near my favorite grocery store when I had to move last month but then I realized, as much as I love my routine and my fav shopping spots, when living in an RV, I’ll need to be more flexible in that regard. What I was currently going through was changing my frequency – letting me learn to not be so attached to my fav grocery store.

At first, I wasn’t even letting myself think about driving a big gas guzzling truck all the time. How can I feel that way about big trucks and still manifest one? I couldn’t. It won’t work.

So, one day I started noticing all the big trucks on the road – which ones were big enough to haul a fifth wheel? Which ones did I like? I started noticing the fifth wheels on the highways and what trucks were with them.

I still had a conflict regarding the truck though – I loved my car and didn’t want to be driving a big truck all the time – I wanted to keep my car for when parked here at home.

I knew I had to find my alignment with that or it would block me, so I asked the Universe to help me out. One day as I was driving through downtown, it hit me- when I am parked here at home, I can rent out my truck through Turo and drive the car I have. That switched my feelings about having a big truck and it changed my vibration.

I realized that I needed “time” to take care of all the adjustments. If someone had given me a wad of cash right when I had this idea and I went and bought an RV right then and there, I’d probably be having all kinds of issues right now. I would not have been in alignment, or in the right frequency to be living that life yet.

So, while we are learning to live outside the constraints of time (like learning that it isn’t about the money to reach your goals), we are still humans and we need to adjust things to match up with our desires. maple_leaves_time

I’ve taught this for years, but this experience really brought it home for me in so many ways!

Yes, I could instantly switch my frequency to that of Ashley Maple. We are capable of doing that. We are capable of SO much more than we think! But, it is taking these little steps and adjustments to help me make the changes needed.

I wanted to look at this in a practical manner as well. Let’s see how this works in the old typical way verses the Age of Omniscience way:

Old Way

I need 80k or more to buy the RV and the truck (how do I make that kind of money? And fast? Brain goes into the mode of trying to figure that out and probably gives up)
Do I finance it? If so, I need to raise my credit score and show consistent income (I’m self-employed and my income comes in chunks and not with pay-stubs – so I’d probably get denied.)
I need to work 3 jobs and try to put a ton of money away. (ugh)
Do I know anyone who would loan me the money? No…

Even writing these out, I feel heavy and like a loser…those feelings are very low vibrations and will get me NOWHERE!

New Way

I don’t need to know HOW – Source has an infinite way of setting this up for me. (Wow, that feels nice!)
I keep envisioning myself in the RV and when I feel inclined to go look at models and parks, I go and I learn more about them. (That is fun!!)
I envision myself living in one and I see where I need to downsize and I go about doing that. (Feels good to make my life much simpler!)
When I come up against a sticking point, I ask the Universe to sort it out for me and I get an idea of how to do just that.
It isn’t about the dollar amount. 80k for Source is no big deal. I just have to be vibrationally “ready.” (I can do that. It’s nice actually to have this time to adjust.)

Writing out this new way feels much easier, lighter and is a higher vibration!

It has been fun to refer to this me that I’m becoming with a name. I can talk about her and feel her and know she already exists. It empowers me – verses feeling like this is a goal I can’t achieve.

Whenever I see a maple leaf in designs or in nature, I see it as a wink and a nod from Source and it makes me feel supported.

I am simply becoming Ashley Maple. That lets me do this outside the constraints of “time” and the limitations it puts on me.

Bottom line – this feeeeeels waaaaaay better than the old way. I feel more like her each day and know that I AM HER!
