Lion and Magic Boy

I gots me some plans, baby!

Yes. It’s true. I’ve been working on some new projects, that is, when I’m not deep in the Black Hole or doing any of the myriad things that seem to come up when there’s three kids and two cats around. (Oh. The vacuum cleaner has been repaired, by the way, and I’m thrilled to report that one rotating power head brush later, it works as well as it did when new and doesn’t make that funny sound anymore. Yay for that!)

1. Project #1. New blog! Yep, I’ve launched a new blog, so go over and have a look! Called Springing Light, it’s a spiritually-based blog that’s closely aligned with the kind of spiritual counselling work I do with people. I’ll be adding a new post there once or twice a week. Go see! (I’ll wait here).

2. Project #2. My website. That’s LightSpring Transformations. Links in pages! Samples of my work! That’s just a small part of what’s new to come, as I’m looking to completely revamp that site, but sometimes small changes add up and hmm, maybe that’s a lesson in impatience? Yes?

P.S. If anybody can tell me how to make the in-post links here at Lion and Magic Boy a solid line instead of a dotted line, I’ve been irked by that forever and would be hugely indebted to whomever could tell me how to make it stop!

3. Project #3. Another new blog! This is co-written with Matthew, except (ahem) he’s been doing most all of the writing on it thus far. But you can look for my stuff there in the future. Loving Awareness, doesn’t that sound wonderful?

And because I love you, not only will I remind you again about sunscreen, but I’ll post this month’s channeled message. Which, frankly, I was quite looking forward to as I was very ready to say goodbye to that last part of September and all that went with it. But look! The sun’s out, it’s a beautiful day! As I hope it is where you live, too.

You have been awaiting further confirmation of what has been transpiring of late, and we wish at this time to show you how you already have access to this information, access to the deep inner recesses of yourself. There is no separation as you perceive. You are always connected to your inner resources, whether or not you have awareness of this. The trick, then, is to expand your awareness so that its sphere includes that which you feel is a separate thing from you.

This past month has been a transformative one for many of you. Both inner and outward changes have resulted from the alterations in perception you have engulfed. For many, this was a painful process; for others, there was more peace in it. There is no right or wrong or judgment attached to either path, though it may be helpful for those who experienced pain to understand that the pain itself was a choice: perhaps to obtain your attention, perhaps to learn from the experience of pain, perhaps for other reasons. But of course you may ALWAYS choose a different path by which to reach the same result.

We wish, then, to give you some tools this day to help you take a different path the next time such a transformative time is at hand.

Stand before a mirror, and look at the reflection of your image you see there. Ponder this: is this image you see your WHOLE self? Does it accurately reflect the ENTIRETY of you? Or is it simply an image in a polished surface? Which is more real, the image or the surface itself? Which can you touch? Raise your hand and caress yourself through the image in the mirror. Really reach through and imagine not only the touch of your face through your fingers, but also the receipt of such touch. Really imagine this. Try to feel warm flesh rather than cold glass.

Oh, you try and try, but still the reality of the cold glass is there, is it not? Yet you are aware that there is more to you, MUCH more, than what you see or can feel before you.

The next time, then, you begin to feel pain as a result of the enormous changes that occur for you AT ALL TIMES, step back and remember how you perceived the greater YOU even though you could only feel the image of you. Remember the difference between the wholeness of YOU and the part. You can then access this whole You AT ANY TIME, and realize that there is ALWAYS something greater than what can be perceived through an image. Always.

This next month we see of course a continuation of the changes wrought in the immediate past. How could there not be? Much energy is afoot here and some of you may be embracing change as a means of moving through some very old patterns. The more you embrace this, the easier it will be to accept these patterns as part of yourself. By accepting these patterns rather than RESISTING them, you connect more with the wholeness of You and therefore can feel more connected to the utter joy that is within you, always there and always present and always accessible to you. It is our wish for each of you to know, if you choose, the joy that comes from connecting to the Love that is each of you.

Happy October, everyone. You are loved!
