A New Line has been Drawn

By Norma Gentile

I find new information pulled through me by each person who comes into my life. In this case Linda (not her real name) is a grade school teacher, an emerging medium, and has a natural love of helping people learn about themselves. So no wonder when her guides meet my guides, there is often a section of her session that is personal to her, and yet worded in a way that it easily translates into a lesson we can all relate to and learn from.

What follows includes some information gleaned from Linda's guides as well as Archangel Michael. Thank you Linda, for letting this be shared with others. And my gratitude to all those who help me learn and see situations anew.

A new line has been drawn between what fits and doesn't fit in our world. We are all called to do more defining of what works and doesn't work for us. What we consider to be loving and wonderful, or useful and supportive, has shifted. What we call Love now must be truly loving. What we feel as support from another must be offered with no strings attached. Actions that are useful have to be able to be done without any negative ramifications afterwards.

In the past actions that were useful to take often came with an uncomfortable factor. Doing the useful thing was all right, but a portion of doing so, say twenty percent, felt uncomfortable to us, and we knew it. We might have said to ourselves internally that we could still do it anyway. It was unpleasant, probably not fully in alignment with our own life's choices, but we could do it. And because we could do it, and we saw the need for it to be done, we chose to do it.

This is true no longer! Now in order to do something that we consider useful, that task or project must meet one hundred percent of what our soul considers to be an appropriate thing for us to be doing.

Activities that we choose to do can not contain any negative ramifications or create any circumstances that we will need to fix or heal or correct at a later date. The line is much higher now. We are living in a place of deeper connection to Spirit.

While early and mid-September 2008 brought us the revelation of financial chaos, it also was the point at which humanity agreed to step up into a higher plane of consciousness. As we do so, it is our own collective spiritual light that shines upon what we are ready to change.

Before we made this step, we allowed ourselves situations, ways of relating to each other, emotions, and general life circumstances that only served our soul's journey eighty percent. It wasn't the tasks or experiences, so much as how we met those experiences. We were bringing most, but not all, of who we truly were to each moment of life. And the results reflected most, but not all, of how Spirit wanted to create with us and through us.

In the past we allowed people and circumstances into our lives that were perhaps only eighty percent in alignment with our soul. These were often jobs we took, friends we made, and even loving relationships we entered into. We allowed the energies of these relationships into our life force. And sadly, we believed we had to receive what did not suit us.

That line has shifted. We just can't receive what does not fit our soul's journey anymore. So those energies, those ways of being and qualities of doing that used to be sufficient for us simply won't work now. They aren't appropriate anymore.

TENSION IN LIFE AND BODY

When you consider the overall quality in your life since early September, you probably realize that there has been an underlying tension pattern. This is what happens when your body is continuing to live at a lower level of consciousness than where your soul desires for your body to live.

When you choose to do something that is only seventy or eighty percent good for you, your body feels the tension. When you choose what is one hundred percent good for you, the choice does not create tension.

Our role then is to learn to choose what is one hundred percent useful, one hundred percent supportive, and be phenomenally loving to ourselves. Imagine letting yourself step fully over the line that your soul has re-drawn. This is an energetic motion that Gaia (the soul of the Earth) and the human race have made together. So no one is alone in changing their choosing.

THE FOREST OF THE MIND

I was talking with my client, Linda, about stubbornness. Not just the kind of stubbornness that makes us insist on doing things our own way. Rather it is a stubbornness of releasing the need to mentally control our lives.

I grew up as a white western European woman in the USA. My cultural heritage prides itself on thinking. But thinking is not reasoning. Turning an issue over and over in your head merely spins your energies into a tangled web. "If this happens then that will happen" becomes your mantra. You lose touch with the flow of life that is naturally occurring all around you.

As I was sharing this with my client, Linda, Archangel Michael and her guides began to show me a picture in my mind's eye. It was of a vast field. I imagined myself sitting in the center of the empty field. From this vantage point there was a pure line of sight to see the horizon in each direction. All was visible. Archangel Michael and Linda's guides referred to this as "the empty field of not knowing".

THE EMPTY FIELD OF NOT KNOWING

They said that human personalities are very uncomfortable not knowing. We are all on an accelerated learning curve. One of the lessons is learning to be comfortable sitting in a space of openness, where the old is gone, but the new isn't yet in sight. This is "the empty field of not knowing." And when we sit in that empty field, we can actually see it all. We can see any motion, from any direction. The moment something starts to move in our life, we will see it. There is nothing of the old to block our view.

In contrast, when we sit in the densely populated forest of our mind, which says 'I know it all, I have it all figured out", we can't see a thing of what life might be bringing us. Each tree represents an idea or an object or a habit that we continue to hang onto because we believe that we must keep it. And each thing or idea or habit blocks our view. Here we sit, our minds full of thoughts, each thought keeping us from hearing or seeing what our guides and angels or our soul or Spirit is trying to tell us.

For this reason, I find that thinking is highly over-rated! I certainly learned how to sit in the forest, but it no longer serves me.

A NEW MANTRA

Feeling that something MUST happen indicates you are sitting in the forest of your own ideas. When you feel clueless and experience thoughts such as "I don't know what is going to happen next", you are in the empty field. Archangel Michael suggests giving our minds permission to think along these lines might be useful to invoke our sense of humor and innate connection to Spirit. So try saying this to yourself, and repeat as needed:

"I'm going to sit here and just know that I am as clueless as I feel, and it is all right to feel clueless. As long as I sit here in the empty field I will be the first one to see what Spirit and my soul have planned for me."

There is nothing wrong with that sense of emptiness and not knowing. As children it was totally ingrained into us that we should have a plan. And a backup plan. And a backup plan for the backup plan. Spirit says throw those plans out! Get out of the forest of your plans! These are trees that are planted only in your head. And they are blocking your view. Get yourself out of the forest of planning everything, so that you can see what spirit is sending your way.

ACTIVATING YOUR 7th CHAKRA

I know that I still like to sit in the forest occasionally. Interestingly, the more we sit in the populated forest, the less our 7th chakra can be activated by our soul. The more time we spend in the open field, the more our soul can open and charge our 7th chakra. And we can more easily see what is on the horizon, both at an energetic and physical level.

LOVE YOURSELF MORE

Thinking less and knowing more is part of what comes because the line has shifted. What we considered acceptable as love, is no longer acceptable. We have moved that line up. We want qualities of love, in our lives and interpersonal relationships, that are much closer to unconditional love and support than before.

When we are sitting in the forest of 'knowing it all' and 'having plans' spirit cannot touch us easily. Our mind is listening to itself, rather than to our soul. Love can't touch you when you are sitting in that forest thinking that you know it all. It can only touch you in the open field.

Our deeper sense of knowing love happens in the empty field of not knowing. That is where you can have your new experience of love. As long as your brain is "relishing the knowing", absorbed in its own circular thinking, your mind can't appreciate the more subtle emptiness of possibilities.

The empty field contains all the possibilities that lie before you in your life. You do not sense these possibilities as already being within you when you are admiring the trees in the forest. Be brave. Take a walk into the center of your empty field of now knowing, so that you may know your soul's next step.

Blessing to each one,
Norma
