The earth’s geological and archeological records, as well as the channeled readings of Edgar Cayce, tell us that there are several past incidents wherein the earth experienced similar changes—an abrupt and violent ending to much of our ailing social, economic, religious, political, and even biological life. Chances are, these records of the past confirm the possibility of such an upheaval (or shift) occurring again in the future. “What kind of shift?” you might ask. Will it come by waves, comets, volcanoes or a shifting of the earth’s poles? The truth is, it doesn’t really matter. If any one of these occurs, the whole world will be affected hundreds of times more than any disaster in our known history.

This leads us to the old saying, “We have some bad news and some good news.” The bad news is that a change is coming! The earth and its inhabitants are indeed in grave danger. Even Jesus, who channeled to the scribe of A Course in Miracles, explained that “the condition of our world was worsening at an alarming rate” and that something needed to happen that would create a radical shift in humanity’s consciousness. Jesus referred to this period as a “Great Cosmic Speed-up.” He was referring to there being a way out . . . a way to prevent or at least ease the impending changes, but not by worrying about it or by having intellectual debates about it or even by preparing for some means to save your mortal self. Instead, he recommended the remembrance and nurturing of our Christ Consciousness.

So, what can you do? Since you will not out-run or avoid any of these changes, you might as well get your priorities straight. You do NOT need to worry about “saving your life,” as that is something that is beyond your control. Sure, it’s a wise thing to put some provisions together to make a few material alterations so that you and your loved ones are as comfortable as possible. But no amount of preparation will help you entirely, or for very long. A Hopi elder once told me that when the 2012 shift occurs, nearly half of the surviving population will go into a trance or sleep-like state—thus allowing these people time to acclimate to the changes around them. Another large portion of the people will struggle to try to bring things back to the way they were—a common reaction to trauma known as denial. And finally, there will be but a small percentage of inhabitants who will not be surprised by the changes and will step right into the role of assisting others with the change—the only proper response for a Lightworker or Healer.

The good news is that in the end, there is a reason for all of this. The sooner you understand this, the better. Although the year 2012 marks the end of our material world as we know it, it also marks the potential beginning of a Spiritual life. Rather than worrying too much OR trying to find a way to save yourself, why not nurture the part of you that is immune to all of these events. The 2012 shift was created by us even before the earth was created. We planted this and other large-scale shifts into our path as reminders to get our act together and remember who we really are—which will be done either the easy way or the hard way. The hard way means going through things like personal and global tragedies, which we’ve done before. The easy way is by hearing the call of Spirit that dwells within us and following Its Guidance to birth Christ Consciousness and nurture it into maturity. When we accomplish this, we need not fear the future but rather choose to see it as our joy-filled destiny. We will merely look at the storms of the world and say, BE STILL, just as Jesus calmed the storms of the sea.

In other words, the reason or cause behind these changes is the need to awaken the inner Christ. These events were created by Christ for the purpose of awakening Christ, just in case he/she went to sleep and forgot the purpose for the journey, which we did. So the alarm is about to go off. But rather than becoming afraid, let’s celebrate!

The birthing of Christ Consciousness is not to be confused with the return of Jesus or any other spiritual leader. In fact, it is just the opposite. Two thousand years ago, Jesus left his students and said, “I must leave you now or the comforter will not come to you!” He was explaining here, and in other teachings, that Christ is not a person to be worshiped, but rather, it is who you are. The “second coming of Christ” is not an external event, but an internal remembrance. Mother Mary was once pregnant with Jesus Christ, but we are all now pregnant with our own “inner Christ.”

Here are some of the symptoms of being “pregnant” with your Inner Christ:

• Feeling a call to return to the teachings of Christ, the nurturance of Mother Mary, the protection of Archangel Michael, and/or the life of Mary Magdalene.
• Having a growing interest in the Early Christians, the Arthurian Knights, and/or the Knights Templar.
• Old thought systems and opinions fall apart.
• Having a greater experience of unconditional Love.
• Limitations such as race, gender, astrological signs, and family structures no longer apply to you.
• You feel a disconnection from people that represent the past, old ways of being, as well as a growing sense of love and acceptance around soul mates, soul groups, and spiritual family.
• You have less “buttons” to be pushed and a greater sense of peace when your remaining “buttons” are pushed.

Again, we are now in the time of humanity’s awakening and must all learn to live and act as the Divine Beings that we truly are. We have already entered the New Millennium and the era of Christ Consciousness. This is why our work through Grail Productions has always been rooted in the message of birthing the Christ. The very symbol of the Grail is one of being a receptacle or vessel to receive the Spirit of God. This is also why we have recently chosen to present the world with an online course for nurturing Christ Consciousness. The time is at hand to hear the call and accept your role in humanity’s awakening. To experience this to its fullest, we must recognize our worthiness, act responsibly, and learn to become teachers of Love.

One of the most important (and recurring) messages we are learning on earth at this time is that if we fail to “step up,” follow through, and manifest our hopes and dreams, (job, relationship, home, etc.), much of the creative breath, or original energy, behind such inspirations will eventually become deflated and fade away—leaving us with a corpse of an idea that we cling to like a handful of dust. Rarely do we have the courage to look down and see what remains in our clutches. Instead, we act as though by not looking honestly at what has happened, somehow the dust in our hands will magically turn into gemstones. It’s sad but true.

Most people have not one, but many dozens, of hopes and dreams that remain unfulfilled throughout their life. These unfulfilled dreams do not just sit idly there (in the back of our minds), waiting to be put to use. Instead, some of the energy of these dreams actually becomes our mini creations that cry to be fed. When we ignore them, they begin to suck energy from us (their creators), to keep them alive. This continues until you learn and apply the following powerful secret. These energetic children of ours can only be released in one of two ways: You either have to get out there and bring them to fruition OR cancel them out by consciously choosing to let them go, which is done through the honest recognition that you will not pursue this particular dream. The dreams in which we follow through with actually give us energy because we have now achieved a personal goal and can eat of their fruits. Conversely, the ones we truly “let go” of, also give us energy because by releasing these former dreams and allowing them to pass away, the energy that was being unconsciously drained to keep this dream alive now gets recycled into new, potential greater good for us.

Of course, energy and inspirations never actually die or remain forever stagnant. Instead, the stagnant inspirations that aren’t sucking our energy OR that aren’t being released and let go by us end up getting reabsorbed, back into the cosmos, only to be recycled and given to someone else as inspirations or opportunities. For example, some of us have received ideas, inventions, songs, etc., from the vast creative energies of Spirit, and when we failed to act on these inspirations, they were reabsorbed back into the ethers and redistributed giving someone else the opportunity to act on them and to bring the idea into manifestation out to the world. This cycle continues until someone brings the idea into fruition. To miss these opportunities does not make us “bad” or a “failure.” It only means what we could have had (or could have done) will be given to someone else, and that our own opportunity will now dissipate and possibly return to us at a later date. The universe will remain completely objective on such matters and merely works to get the inspirations out there to whomever might act on them. This universal consciousness holds a vast reservoir of inspiration that is available to anyone who knows how to access its gifts, and pours (or at least attempts to pour) itself into the minds of those who are most prepared or are the most appropriate channel at the time.

Many people have inspirations and ideas (such as writing a book, opening a spiritual center/store, developing a healing practice or  retreat center), only to often find themselves confused or frustrated if/when these visions do not manifest. Or, if they do manifest, they often end up unsuccessful. What could be more heart-breaking? After all, here you are, following what you believe is “Divine Guidance” and possibly numerous undeniable synchronicities and yet the outcome seems less than divine. You are not alone in this. Many students on the path have been through the same thing—even the most successful of us. Of course there are those of us who are worn down by such experiences—even to the point of “giving up” or “losing faith.”

So, why does this happen? Why would God (or our higher self) create seemingly inspired events only to allow them to “die on the vine” leaving us confused and frustrated? Some people (including teachers, authors, and even religions) would tell you that such experiences are God’s way of “testing” you or teaching you some kind of lesson—perhaps in patience. For this to be true, it would mean that there is a God up in the sky who decided that the best way to teach Its children to love and trust Him (and each other) would be to give them something that opens their hearts to hope and faith, only to then crush them before this opening reaches fruition. This is not the God of Love nor of Christ Consciousness.

The real source of the problem is this. There are two voices in our mind—both trying to guide us—God and the ego. This doesn’t mean, however, that God gives you Guidance only for something “good” (like winning the lottery) while the ego gives guidance for only something “bad” (like financial ruin). This would be way too simple and obvious. Instead, both voices exist in each and every thought, idea, and project. When we make a good, healthy decision, the ego is still there trying to find ways to spoil the moment. And even when we’ve made really poor, unhealthy choices, Spirit is always there with us asking us to “choose again.” Both are always present but there are two goals and distinctions between them: God’s Voice, directs us toward “inner” things, such as positive feelings (love, peace, etc.) and learning ways to grow into our, true, higher self. The ego, on the other hand, directs us toward “outer” things, such as negative emotions (anger, hurt, etc.) and trying to get us to give up and lose hope.

The first thing we must do to revitalize our dreams and hopes is to release those that no longer have enough energy left in them to be resuscitated, as well as recognizing and releasing those that we will probably not attain or manifest. This might include a relationship, a book project, a better home, a new career, and so forth.

Letting go of the hopes and dreams that are unlikely to manifest, takes great courage and trust and might be a little painful to us at first. However, the “letting go” of dead or stagnant hopes and dreams releases energy that can be recycled to become inspirations to new visions and projects which are waiting to be fulfilled. Once again, it’s the classic story that the old must die to make room for the new.

We must also learn to identify and release any hopes and dreams that are clearly ego-based and which do not serve our higher good. These are the dreams that make us believe that if we had some particular external “thing,” we would be internally fulfilled.

Once we’ve bid “farewell,” to the hopes and dreams that once drained our energy and/or left us unfulfilled, we should prepare to become the clearest, highest, and most divinely guided channel to new inspiration. Through using prayer and meditation to receive new inspirations we will have a greater chance of manifesting new, higher and healthier hopes and dreams based on Divine Inspiration. Also, as we live a life that is in alignment with the new visions we seek to receive, we learn to focus our time and energy only on hopes and dreams that are healthy and inspired. Therefore, our newly inspired hopes and dreams, as well as their manifestations, carry the inner and outer feel of being co-created between us and God.

So why is it that we tend to eventually hate what we love? There are a few reasons . . . some fortunate, some natural, and some unfortunate. A fortunate (or good and healthy) reason for becoming disillusioned with love is because all too often we are attracted to unhealthy characteristics in people in the first place. We cover over things we know are not healthy about those people, but eventually the cover falls off. When this occurs, we see clearly what the healthy part of us never would have liked in the first place and therefore, often allow this unhealthy scenario to come to an end. For example, a woman is often attracted to a “bad boy” and deludes herself into thinking it can somehow be a good thing. It usually happens that the fun, carefree behavior, and spontaneity that this guy brings her is nothing but danger, carelessness, and shallow behavior, which of course grows old as soon as her higher self begins to speak louder than her ego self. Next, there are natural reasons for becoming disillusioned such as when the ego version of love gives us a false love (infatuation) for someone, which inevitably leads to some form of hate (disillusionment). This is not so much good or bad but is part of the natural process of our delusions becoming exposed and released. Lastly, we have unfortunate reasons for becoming disillusioned. Here, we often hate what we love because we don’t like to allow people to look good to us for too long. This part of us prefers to find fault with someone—even if they might not deserve it—so that we are justified in losing our respect for them. This can become what we believe to be a self-defense technique wherein we let ourselves down so that the other person doesn’t do so. Or this may be a way to not accept our good because we believe we don’t deserve to be happy.

The good news is that you can learn to see these annoyances as opportunities for healing and return to loving whatever it was that you’ve now begun to hate. To accomplish this means to move through a few important steps which are as follows: 1. Recognize that you have begun to descend into madness—meaning that you are now being triggered by someone or something you once admired. 2. Ask yourself if you actually hate that quality more than you love the actual person. There are two likely answers to this question. The first is yes, you have gone over the line to hate that quality more than you like the person. The second option is no, meaning that although the quality in the person is perhaps challenging, it is actually not greater than your overall respect for them.

If you choose the first option, then you may very well have gone too far into a negative state of mind and cannot save the relationship. Conversely, if you choose the second option, it might indicate that things have not yet gone too far to turn things around. This latter choice is usually assisted by taking responsibility, healing whatever it is that triggers you, and by nurturing the spiritual qualities of tolerance and compassion. It must be clear, however, that if you feel you cannot bring yourself to this reconciliation, it might indicate that you either have old issues coming up OR that you might have some unfulfilled agendas (known or unknown) in the relationship. Therefore, when you come to realize that the other person will not or can not fulfill these agendas, you are likely to manufacture some issues, or at least exaggerate them.

Whatever the case, once you decide between these two options, the rest will come naturally. If you decide the issue is too big, then it will indeed prove too big and this relationship will probably not be reconciled. On the other hand, if you decide that your love and respect for that other person is greater in quantity and/or importance than the annoyance at hand, you will have the chance to rise up your personal ladder of evolution to gain a new level of patience and acceptance.

Of course none of this means that you must always choose the road of love and tolerance to the point of complacency when it is a detriment to your greater good. Sometimes, if there is too much hurt between you and that other person, you need to move on. However, you will probably end up working on these very same issues with someone else, someone new. So be sure to heal whatever you can, whenever you can. The most important thing is for you to discern which relations have gone too far into a negative pattern and which ones you can still salvage. Once you recognize which ones are worth your continued time and effort, you then must get out there and make amends, take advantage of this opportunity for healing, and apologize where and when needed, as well as extending love and forgiveness where and when needed. The funny thing is, that when you really look at issues such as these, they often aren’t as big as you thought, which of course makes them easier to heal and release. Going through the process has nevertheless taught you a great deal more about yourself. You can now see how you try to sabotage your relationships and can, therefore, learn to alter this ego-based behavior.

Love & Light, Michael Mirdad

But since the duality, or separation, in our truths brings us conflict, then those with differing truths are certain to miss out on the chance of experiencing the love, peace, and happiness that comes from knowing the ONE TRUTH OF SPIRIT? What is the ONE Truth of Spirit? It is that, “GOD IS.” In saying, “God Is,” we are also saying that “God is ONE,” which means that we are all part of God. And since “God Is,” then so too are we, which means that we need nothing to make us feel more complete. Therefore the Truth that is in God (and IS God), is also in us (and is us). And it is this Truth that we must learn to access as our inner Guide. To say we are guided by the Truth is the same as saying we are guided by Love or God. They are all ONE and the same and they all set us free.

If there really is but One (Power) God and One Truth in the universe, then it needs to be our priority to know and honor that Truth. To know this Truth, we must first discover that it lies deep within us and nowhere else. To honor this Truth means to discipline ourselves to follow NO other guidance but the One Truth within us—not your ego’s little truth (which is always based on limited and judgmental opinions), but the powerful, loving Truth of God. And one of the most practical ways of demonstrating our new commitment to following only God’s Truth as our Guide is to constantly ask ourselves which decisions set before us resonate most with Love, Peace, and Happiness. Also, let the Divine Truth of who you are guide where you go and what you do and with whom.

Each day is a new opportunity to follow greater guidance, which would of course lead us towards a life that is far better than the one we had yesterday—personally and globally. But if you find that you cannot connect with this inner Guide or that you still aren’t sure which road to take to improve your life, then what are you going to do about it? Remember, if you don’t do anything different right NOW, then you can pretty much expect the same in life the future. It’s that simple!

However, if you are ready for some radical ideas as to how to test your honesty and courage, then brace yourself and ask the following question in regard to your relationship, job, and/or health: “When I think about this person, job, or my health, existing as it is for another 20 years of my life, how do I feel?” If you feel a sense of love, peace, and/or happiness, then you are probably succeeding in following the Guidance of the Truth from within. If, on the other hand, you feel afraid, tense, and/or deflated, it probably means you are not following the Guidance of the Truth (of Spirit). In this latter case you must understand that if you prefer not to experience this person or situation as it currently is for yet another 20 years, then what are you going to do to prevent it? The Truth tells us that if you do nothing new, then you will get nothing new. You could call this an “upgrade” on your personal Guidance system.

Asking ourselves such questions is one of the best ways to shift ourselves back into listening to a greater Truth that we know, deep down, wants to lead us Home. But asking is merely the first step. You must also answer the question, learn something about yourself, make a plan to act on whatever it is that you learned, and lastly implement your new plan. Doing such will assuredly lead you to a future that is quite different from the past. Otherwise, once again, your future is doomed to keep reflecting your past mistakes and will probably look and feel very much the same as it has for years.

Most of us who walk the spiritual path will inevitably find ourselves plagued by “doubt.” Where does the thought or voice of doubt come from? Is it God or is it the ego? Obviously, more often than not, doubt comes from the ego. It is the ego’s every intention to keep you from trusting and moving forward in your life, as this would eventually lead you home, to Heaven, where the ego no longer exists. There are exceptions however. For example, if you have a situation wherein you were on course of action and gained an inspiration to change directions, this might look like you had a doubt and changed course. But in fact, the doubt came not from fear and uncertainty, but instead from an uplifting and loving insight to change course. This is probably God speaking.

There are, of course other core issues or patterns that prevent people from healing including: Fear, Anger, Denial, Control, Believing you’ve already healed enough, and Lack of Forgiveness. Doubt, however, is one of the most common and most sneaky. Doubt can creep in and undermine the progress you are making in your life in many ways, which can vary. For example, doubt can be about your sense of worthiness. Or, it might be about doubting the technique used in a healing, such as when we think it’s impossible for an nontraditional method to accomplish that which previous, perhaps more traditional methods could not.

Then, there is the issue of having doubts about your healer, such as when you experience a healing but then “others” plant a doubt in your head regarding that particular healer’s abilities or even his/her character. The general rule is that when we experience something new and wonderful in our life, the ego will do all that it can to make us doubt this change. This of course, leads us back to where we started and even worse off than before, as now we have added the conscious anger of whomever failed to heal us or the unconscious guilt we feel for allowing doubt to ruin our opportunity. The bottom line is that people already have a hard enough time accepting the good things and good people in the world. But when they end up doubting their healing experiences and then find a way to shoot them down, it becomes a very destructive outcome for them AND for whoever made them doubt.

From my own life’s experiences, I can think of several examples where clients and students were possessed by the “demon of doubt.” For example, there was a woman who once bad-mouthed me, thus trying to instill doubts into her friend. Her friend was surprised by her dislike of me and asked why she felt this way. The woman replied by saying that she was angry because after having a private session with me (which originally blew her mind), she was convinced I could not have known such specific things about her unless I had gone through her purse and peeked at her personal details, which means her doubts got the best of her, thus rejecting her miracle. This woman, who had the doubt, preferred to keep her mind in doubt instead of communicating with me about the issue at hand. This is a perfect example of how we sometimes prefer to live in the darkness of our ego rather than in the light of Spirit.

Many scholars and even some New Thought ministers have decided to believe that Jesus never rose from the dead nor walked on water. They have intellectualized away the “miracles” and have decided these are merely metaphors of common occurrences. In so doing, such people have allowed doubt to prevail over trusting the power of Spiritual Law. They say, for example, that Jesus didn’t walk on water to help his troubled apostles who were caught in a storm; it was simply a low tide. Can you believe it? Gee . . . there was the answer all along! Jesus could simply see that he was safe enough to walk on through due to low tide yet his apostles who were fishermen by trade couldn’t tell the difference.

All too often, when we like or love someone or something and/or are impressed by it or them, we somehow go out of our way to find fault with them. Now, I ask . . . Is this the God part of us? I think not! Then who or what is it? Quite simply, this is the part of us (our ego) that is so afraid of our healing that it convinces us to abandon (or find fault with) any good that comes to us. If we are so quick to find fault with our miracles and healers, how will we ever trust enough to grow closer to God? In other words, if you’re pushing away your good, you are pushing away God—albeit in a smaller form for now. I suggest then, that when you create something that is better than what you had before—even if it’s not perfect—try not to destroy that thing with doubt and judgment. You will certainly not be able to create something better with an attitude like that. If you do give in and buy in to the gossip and doubt that tears down your miracles, you may end up waiting a very long time for another chance.

If such doubt befalls you, do your best to see it for what it is: an attempt to tear down what could very well have been the chance for a miracle. Although others may be involved in raining on your parade and seemingly causing you to doubt yourself, your healing, or even your healer, you are ultimately responsible for both the doubts that you are attracting AND your response to these doubts. Next, you must make a determined decision to say NO to these doubts, as well as to forgive yourself for having created them and paying any attention to them. Then, move forward by making plans to get back on track, get back to your healing, and try, try again. Last, but never least, you must choose to trust and be humbled and surrender all doubts to Spirit—God—hopefully as soon as they arise.

When all else fails, if you have a healthy enough relationship with yourself and with Spirit, you will be able to fend off the doubts that arise in your mind, as well as the doubts that other people will inevitably throw your way. After all, these people project their doubts on you because they can sense your weakness of conviction and because of their own insecurities. Instead of caving in to them, show them your courage, as well as your refusal to gossip or express doubts. In so doing, you will be teaching them how to release the life of fear and insecurity that they lived with for so long. You can show others (and yourself) how to return to trusting in God, love, and miracles. In so doing, you’re allowing God to be your first priority, which is the best way to assure yourself of a smoother transition into LIGHT.

Is your life (health, finances, knowledge, inner peace, unconditional love, relationship, work, parenting, etc…) improving or not? If you can say “yes” to all of these, then great! It means you have little or no amount of change to make in your life. If, however, you said “no” to any of these, it might be telling you exactly where you need to do your homework for the next phase of your life. And, as you often hear me say, “You will make these changes either the easy way (as a conscious participant) or the hard way (with denial and resistance, thus causing crisis).”

So let’s approach these changes from two sides: 1. Release the old. 2. Bring in the new. And to get us started with “releasing the old,” I highly suggest you take a moment to reflect on and release anything you choose to leave in the past and would not want to take into the next phase of your life. Perhaps you could write these things down, along with any hurt or unresolved feelings, then burn the paper and give it ALL to God. Then, begin making healthy new plans for a new life—all based on a great level of Love and Self-Worth.

Once we successfully release the old (to any degree), we must have a clear commitment to “bring in the new.” Here’s where you can evaluate your life and determine which areas you are prepared to see and experience differently. Let’s look at several options . . . but be sure to select at least a few (or make up some of your own) and then stick to your plan of improvement permanently—or as long as you can.

UPGRADE ALL LEVELS OF CONSCIOUSNESS:

(Print this out and perhaps make a checklist out of it to make sure you apply your chosen steps toward a better life.)

PHYSICAL: Diet (add good supplements to your diet, eat less junk food and eat more alkaline foods such as veggies), Exercise (stretching and cardio for at least 30 minutes), Prosperity (create a prayer wheel that features what new things you choose to have in your life), Sexuality (find a way to become more at peace with your body and its desires), Surroundings (clean out your closets, house, car, etc…and give away everything you do not need or use on a regular basis), Self Care (get a regular massage and/or other forms of health care and pampering), and Service (find a way to be of service and bring good to people around you).

EMOTIONAL: Counseling (be sure to get counseling or use breathwork and/or other means of getting yourself clear of old, toxic emotions, Partnerships (get couples counseling for your intimate relationships—especially if there are issues with communication or intimacy), Friendships (make it a point to open up to and nurture healthy, close friendships), Healing (besides counseling, use progressive healing techniques and prayer to help release old wounds).

INTELLECTUAL: Study (read healthy new materials on a regular basis to expand your mind and exercise your brain), Focus (practice concentration exercises, as well as sticking to things you start), Organize (learn better time management, use a daily planner, and get some assistance organizing your office, home, and finances).

CREATIVE: Imagination and Visualization (use visualization as a regular part of your daily practice, as it nurtures your heart and soul), Art (choose some form of creative expression—music, painting, etc…), Dance and Sing (play your favorite music—especially music that lifts you and inspires you–and sing along and/or dance freely).

SPIRITUAL: Prayer and Meditation (begin and end your day with at least 10 minutes of prayer and meditation), Forgiveness (continually practice forgiveness for those who you feel have harmed you in any way), Gratitude (give thanks on a regular basis for all the lessons you have learned and the gifts you have received), Love (practice turning all expressions of love into a greater level of Unconditional Love).

Once you have developed most, or all, of these facets of your life to a fairly balanced level, you will find yourself reaching new heights of peace and fulfillment. With this newfound fulfillment, you will be ready to move forward to the next phase on the spiritual path—Mastery.
