Judge Me Not

Judgement is an illusion. The human in the new consciousness of earth will judge no more. When we entrench the knowledge that we are one with all things along with the total understanding that we are the creators of our reality, then judgement will not make sense. How can we judge something or someone as right or wrong, good or bad when we know that we are that person or we have created the very situation we now so readily judge.

Judgement is an aspect of duality consciousness. We seem to need to look at a person or event and almost instantly judge it as good or bad. We need to put it in that box to set our minds at ease and to be able to make sense of it. Duality demands it. All things must be classified into these boxes of right or wrong. Take note of how many times a day that we judge things in this manner. Everything that is presented, whether its the person we see on the street, the news we hear on the media or the behaviors of the people close to us, requires us to use judgement. Instantly. How many times have you judged something as wrong that later, after getting more information, you changed your perspective to the opposite result. Judgement is a moving target. Who makes the rules? Is it society or the government or the church? Is there more than one rule book?

When I examine the practice of judgement I ask these questions. The answer I see is that every person has their own rule book. That's too confusing for me. Is there such a thing as "normal?" We seem to love to use the "norm" as our yardstick for judging what is or isn't. What is the norm? This confusion proves to me that judgement is an illusion. It not real. It is not definable. Too many different interpretations of normal or what is beautiful or what is ugly. There is no universal application.

Judgement is so ingrained in societal structures that it has evolved into being the main system that we defer to for guidance to ultimately decide right or wrong. Our laws and those that enforce them hold immense power over our daily lives. The government and judicial systems rewrite the rule book daily on the premise that "they" know what is truly right or wrong, good or bad and we allow them to have that power over us because of the duality consciousness that we are in. The concept of judgement does not work when the other aspects of the new earth are used.

A replacement for judgement that will be an attribute for us in the new energy of unity consciousness is the practice of discernment. It is a much easier, less confusing concept than judgement and can be applied universally to all things.

Discernment

Discernment may seem a lot like judgement but it has some important differences. When discernment is used, the people or events that we are presented with are not judged as good or bad they just are. This stems from the knowledge of the oneness of all things and knowing that these things are created by us. Then with these understandings we choose to embrace them or not. If we discern that these things are not for us then we just leave them without the need to tag them as right or wrong, good or bad. Discernment leaves the power with us to decide rather than following a set of rules made up by others. And with that, allowing others to decide for themselves what will align with their path trusting that the outcome will be for the highest good of all.

Using discernment is the ability to see the higher purpose for events or behavior. Using the understanding that they are created to help us return to the knowing of our true selves. The ability to see God in all things and to know that we are God also. Knowing that the duality concepts are not real. That everything just "is." Not needing to attach the vibration of good or bad to things that are presented to us. The practice of discernment in place of judgement makes life so much easier and plays a big part in the attainment of the elusive "inner peace" that so many long for.

You may say that this will create chaos. There must be rules and structure or we will
destroy each other. With the new earth the attribute of discernment only works when all the aspects of the new consciousness are adopted. It is a complete change in the way we view our selves and our relationship to all things. There will be no hurting or lying or stealing. When have created this new world there will be no need for the things that we use now. No need for all the rules that we follow now. No desire to hurt another knowing that by doing so we are just hurting our selves.

Utopia? Pie in the sky? Maybe. I like to call it heaven on earth. This is where heaven is. We are creating it right now. We are really just remembering the fact that it is already created. Judging others has no place in heaven. There is no need for a rule book in heaven. The next stage of human evolution is upon us. We are raising our vibration into Christ consciousness, leaving duality consciousness and the mind set of judgement behind.

The Mayans say December 21 2012. I am not so convinced of specific dates. I am convinced that one by one we are waking up to these concepts and very soon we will all be enjoying life on our new planet earth...heaven on earth.

New Planet Earth Series- The 5 Attributes

The New Planet Earth. You are probably wondering what I mean by such a statement. "What happened to the old planet earth?" You might say "Is there more than one planet earth?"


I believe that we are in the early stages of going into the third step in human evolution. This is not a literal remaking of new dirt but a complete paradigm shift of how humans interact with themselves and all things around them. The intent of this article series is to describe the human attributes of the new planet earth from my perspective and to assist others to possibly examine their lives giving, them hope for the future of us all.


The first step or first dimension consciousness had similar attributes to the stage we are shifting to now. The belief was that we were one with every living thing including mother earth and father sky. One difference is that in the first step we looked for God outside our ourselves and believed there was a god that controlled all aspects of nature.This can best be seen in aboriginal cultures and still exists today.


The second step or duality consciousness is the stage we have been in as humans for thousands of years. Some attributes of the second dimension include concepts of good and bad, right and wrong, male and female, God and the devil, heaven and hell. All concepts that have an opposite attribute to each other. In duality the shared belief is that we are separate from each other and all things. Whether it be individuals or countries or races or nature or the earth, we feel that we stand alone. The adages of survival of the fittest, I am stronger, faster, smarter than you, I live the right way and you are wrong, are aspects of duality consciousness.


Duality by its very nature brings with it concepts of competition, of attachment and ownership of people and things, of judgement of right and wrong, good and bad.It also carries the belief that "they" control our lives. Everything that is outside ourselves like governments, society schools, laws, God, religion, doctors, authorities of any kind are to be followed and obeyed. Described by the adage of "follow the leader". The belief that we are in this alone and have to fight for what we desire. Seeking happiness and fulfillment outside of our selves. Comparing our progress by certain standards that "they" dictate to us from birth.


The third step or third dimension, which some have labeled unity consciousness, Christ consciousness, the great shift, ascension, enlightenment, etc. have a set of attributes that is a total overhaul of the way humans react and relate to each other along with the relationship that we have with all other things. We will go from a belief of "following the leader" to one of "following our selves".


Here is a list of concepts that will form the basis of the next stage. We will list them here with a short description but will go into detail about each attribute in separate articles for the series called "The New Planet Earth."


1. Unity...This is the knowing that we are all made up of the same stuff and therefore there can be no separation. We are connected to each other and all things. We are one with the earth, the animals, the plants, the waters, the sky, the moon, the universe.We are connected with an invisible web of love that allows us to feel an unconditional love for our self and by extension for all things.


2. We are God also...The knowing that we are the creators of our own reality. As Jesus Christ and Buddha and all the masters of human history have told us that we are like them. We can do and feel all the same things that they did. That we are all pieces of God, and that God is within not only all of us but in all things. With this knowledge there will be no need to look outside ourselves for anything.


3. Releasing Judgment...This is the natural progression of a concept that will fall away when we remember who we truly are. How can we judge when we know that we are all the same. That right and wrong is an illusion of duality and that nothing is good or bad it just is.


4. Attachment...This is an easy concept to explain but a very difficult one to truly believe. When we take ownership of something outside of our self we then carry that around. We become responsible for it yet have no control over what happens to it. It is pretty easy when explained in relation to my house or my car or my stuff but gets especially difficult when the subject of my kids or my wife/husband or my sister is considered in terms of attachment. We love to feel that attachment to the people part of our lives yet by doing this it sets up a myriad of feelings from not being able to "make" them be how we expect them to be. We will explore new energy relationships in this segment.


This concept will be explained in great detail in the series as it is a very hard concept to grasp.


5. Happiness...The final entry in the series will discuss what happiness is and where it comes from. It is the one thing that humans in duality consciousness crave the most. And for good reason, as this is the one concept that seems to be so elusive and is the base motivation for everything we do. In this article we will discuss the concepts of living in the now, of having no expectations, of making no plans, quieting the mind and having inner peace. These are the five attributes of human behavior on the new planet earth. There may be more that others may be able to describe but these five sum up, when explained in detail, all the changes that the shift will bring.


It is an exciting time to be on earth. I truly believe that for this shift to happen we all have to do it together. We all have to jump on the ladder. My purpose is to be a lightworker. A lighthouse shining the light to show the way to anyone who wants to hear the message. Not trying to stop the boat from hitting the rocks. Just shining the light to help the ship see the path.


Not preaching or trying to convert. Merely giving my perspective and cheering everyone on. Being there to answer questions. To support, and to join hands with anyone who desires the change that I desire. I know it is happening. I can feel it. Together, we are in the process of creating a New Planet Earth.

The Overlight Process Part 4..7 Stages Of Life

This is part 4 of the overlight series. If you read parts 1,2 and 3 and are still with me then this information may have been meant for you. Part 4 is where we will be getting very "woo-woo" so if you can, stay with it and you will see how it all fits together.

The entire human lifetime process is broken down into seven separate stages. Each stage has a purpose in the overall evolution of the soul. All seven stages have a specific purpose to enable the mastering of the 12 primary life lessons.

Stage One...The Planning Stage.. prior to birth.

This stage occurs prior to birth when we actually plan the life we are about to experience. It is during this stage that we ask certain people to play various roles tohelp us with the specific lesson we have chosen to work on in this lifetime.This stage is rarely remembered. The reason is if we did not have on a "veil of for forgetfulness in place, the game of life that we have come here to play would have very little meaning.

Stage Two...The First Transition..conception through the first year.

The most difficult transition we will make is the journey we take through the birthcanal. The process of birth is when the soul transitions into physical form by intentionally lowering it's vibration. This experience is the most dramatic vibrationalshift a soul will experience in physical form.

One of the first things that happens is to bond energetically with our parents or guardians, then with other family members and any other important people in our environment. As soon as these connections are made, the search for higher meaning begins. This stage and the next three stages of life are spent searching for a definition of God.

The first definition is to think that the parents or the caretaker is God. This is when the baby first looks to the omnipresent being hovering over them taking care of their every need as God. This is also where we get the idea that God is in the sky above us. It is at this time that we begin to look outside ourselves for answers.

We are also looking to connect with an "energy role model". This is someone with the same
wiring. It could be mother, father, aunt or the gentleman on the bus. If you think to your childhood memories there will be one person that will be remembered as very important to you and is often not the parent. The connection is made through eye contact and lets you understand that you are safe and everything will be okay.

Stage Three...Age Two through early Teens

As the soul gets comfortable in the human body it begins exercising power. This is also known as the "terrible two's". Now the scream that used to be a cry often becomes an expression of power.

This is the time we begin our relationships. It is through these relationships that we begin to experience our power. This stage is here we receive energy stamps.Energy stamps are events like emotional, physical and sexual abuse. These are directly related to our personal power. It is also the set up for taking our personal power in the years ahead.

These years are spent learning the art of creation in human form. The expression of personal power is very important in this stage. If one fails to express ones power, it is then possible to turn the creative energy inward. If our creations are rejected or forcefully overridden we usually learn that it is dangerous for us to express our power.

This stage is the set up for the tone of your lifetime and it doesn't have to be abuse it can be positive. The difference is it is harder to master your lesson witha positive experience. A negative experience is much more effective for learning.

Stage Four...Responsibility and First Maturity..Late Teens through mid Thirties:

Here we, as souls in physical form, begin to take our power by attempting to make decisions that direct our lives. We often rebel in this stage simple to exercise our power.

Nothing is sacred and all things are examined with a fresh perspective. Strong beliefs from parents and teachers are examined and possibly rejected in the new power of the first maturity.
We also learn that with power comes responsibility. We learn that personal responsibilityis the balance or trade off to personal power.

This is when the primary life lesson will begin if it hasn't begun already. A catalyst will be introduced into our experience such as a spouse or close associate that will trigger the emotions needed to will start you on your way to creating your "story" and setting up your life lesson circumstances.

Stage Five...Maturity..Forties through Seventies

This stage is where we discover what is really important. We become enlightened seekers in the area of our passion. We have survived the times of raising children. This is a stage where we learn to allow and draw to us the things that bring us joy. Life begins at 50 is a phrase that many repeat during these times.

This can also be a time when the life lesson may be reactivated bringing up old stuff that we had thought we had dealt with. We re-define our relationships with everything and everyone around us. This can appear as "mid-life crisis" but it is a re-evaluation of everything in one's life. Old relationships and possibly marriages end as a resultof this process of priority examination.

It is also the time when spirituality develops if it hasn't already. We start to look at the big questions of what life is about.

Stage Six...Simplification..Becoming Childlike:

This is a very important stage of life. It is where we prepare for the final transition. Many of the illusions of life have been removed and we now choose simplicity. This stage may be short or it may go on for years.

Matthew 18:3 And he said: " I tell you the truth, unless you change and become like little children,you will never enter the kingdom of heaven."

Adopting a simple childlike attitude enables the final stage to complete the process.We see older people becoming more dependant. We watch our parents become children again.This is not a negative event but one to be celebrated not dreaded. It is a natural occurrence at the end of a lifetime. People who fail to become like this can experience mental or physical effects that can push them in this direction i.e. Alzheimers and other like conditions help the soul to accomplish this.

There are people that fight this transition and will live an extended period of physical or mental pain that affects all the people around them. The loved ones watching will often be wishing for the end to come for the good of all.

The second transition, death, is much easier to experience. We only have to deal with the fear of the unknown. There is an important part of this transition and it is a contract made with someone close to the heart. That person gives permission to leave with the final contract being acceptance of this permission.

Stage Seven...Acclimation..Incorporating Life Experiences into the Core:

This is the stage of life where a soul reviews all choices, experiences, actions and results. This is called life review, judgement day, purgatory and many other labels. We evaluate whether we have mastered the primary life lesson that we came in to achieve. All experiences are remembered as a joyous human experience. Even the pain is recalled as a joyous event.
As we revisit every experience we will decide which ones to incorporate into our core personality and which ones to reject.

Well, if you are still reading this then hopefully you gained some insight into a perspective of life that is at the heart of the Overlight process. Even one small part that may answer some questions for you about what this human experience is all about.

There is really only two questions that need to be asked in the seventh stage of life and those are;

Did you dance in your passion?

Did you play in your joy?

The Overlight Process..Part 3 What Is My Primary Life Lesson?

We work to master 12 primary life attributes in our experience as humans. With each lifetime we choose 1 primary life lesson to work with and continue to work on it in consecutive lifetimes until we achieve "mastery" of that single attribute.

As you read the list of lessons you may recognize one or more of the attributes. These are life lessons that you have already mastered in this or previous lifetimes. There will be a blind spot in recognizing your present primary lesson.

This is where an Overlight facilitator can help identify your primary life lesson. All these lessons may present themselves to you in this lifetime but it is usually one that will have the most effect on your behaviors. It's like a student choosing a major to focus on but will also study other subjects.

1. Acceptance; Self-esteem, most often taken in female form but not restricted to it. Also described as self-sabotage, whereby a person will "do everything right but it still does not seem to work".

2. Adaptation; This is the ability to adjust to change. This lesson makes people do everything possible to keep everything in their life on an even keel. They believe in order to succeed they need to keep everything from changing. They often have a hard time making any decision at all that would involve change. It doesn't always appear to be a problem in their lives until they are faced with drastic change that they realize they are unprepared for it.

3. Be-ing; In this lesson people believe they are not whole and have the need to be constantly adding something to become whole. This can be food, relationships, alcohol or drugs. It can be an obsession of any kind, and it can easily turn into addiction and often does.

4. Charity; Charity is walking in the constant knowledge of the connection to all things in all actions. It has been construed to mean giving, but charity is not the art of giving alone. Charity is in honoring the connection you have to all people in actions. When your actions honor all people you are the one who rises. A person working with the life lesson of charity has a blind spot when it comes to paying attention to the needs of other people. They may appear selfish or simply not caring.

5. Communication; From the heart. This lesson is more popular with males. Speaking their feelings and letting their needs be known honestly is very difficult. They may be prone to reverting to silence when they are tired or stressed. This lesson makes success in relationships very difficult.

6. Creation; Expressing Power. Working to master this lesson the person cannot see their own creations or their ability to create. A belief in lack and sometimes perfectionism often provide the perfect excuse for a person to not create for themselves. Mostly taken in female form in our society, where the male has traditionally been the most supported to create. Add to this a lack of self-confidence and you have wives who often hide their creations from their mates or create through their spouses giving the illusion that it is the spouse who is the creator. If this relationship ends the husband's success often seems to fail without cause. Understanding the power one has to create is the key to mastery of this lesson.

7. Definition; Expressing infidelity through boundaries. This is a very popular lesson for females. They carry emotional empathy. They tap into other's emotions, thought patterns and energy so easily that they often do not realize that it is not their own energy they are feeling. Their challenge in this lesson is to keep that energy from back feeding and draining them. Boundaries are the key factor in this life lesson.

8. Integrity; Walking in harmony with yourself. The four lines of integrity are what you speak, how you act, what you think, what you believe. If one or more of these lines don't match the others, the vibration sent out becomes blurred and unclear. When a blurred signal is sent out a blurred result is returned in all the experiences of this person's life.

9. Love; Love of self. People experiencing this lesson can often appear to give love to everyone and everything, sometimes only through the fear of being alone. A person working on this life lesson can often get stuck in a cycle of fear. Afraid that if they are left alone there will be no-one to love them. The key to mastery in this lesson is the ability to love one's self.

10. Trust; Trusting self. This is an easy lesson to understand and a hard one to master. These souls venture into set ups that constantly reinforce that they cannot trust themselves. This lesson is usually set up by a person, maybe mother or father who abuses them, so the individual learns not to trust anyone. It gives them difficulty trusting themselves to take their own power. They don't trust themselves enough to allow themselves to be vulnerable. Once this life lesson is mastered these people are seen walking through life with an inner sense of direction. They trust themselves enough to not need to know.

11. Truth; Personal Responsibility. People going through this lesson will have difficulty discerning and standing in their own truth. Thus, the tendency will always be to adopt the truth of others as their own. They may see themselves entirely through the eyes of others. They often become incapable of being truly honest with themselves. Outwardly they may tell lies and create excuses, rather than be honest about what is really going on in their life. Once they start taking responsibility for their own reality, then mastery of this life lesson will begin.

12. Grace; Walking in harmony with all things. This is the final step to mastery. This is a lesson that teaches the destination is unimportant. It is the journey and the grace with which you experience this journey that is important. How often do you wake up and say, "I love my life, I can't wait to see what today holds"? This may sound like simple positive thinking, but it is much more. When you see yourself as a player of the "game" of life and allow yourself to play the game with grace then the mastery of all lessons becomes not only easier but even enjoyable.

Did Paris Hilton Have A Spiritual Awakening?

I say a resounding YES!! I know, I hear the laughing and guffawing in the background. Rolling on the floor saying “This guys as crazy as she is”. Well maybe I am but here’s why I believe she has.

First of all let me give you a little background. I had a spiritual awakening of my own in 2000 when my estranged wife died leaving me with 3 teenagers. It was a pretty traumatic time for all of us because she didn’t die of natural causes. Her death also revealed that she was leading a whole other secret life away from the home that none of us knew about until she died.

There was lots of details I found out that made me pretty wild with anger and really shook me to the core. Then in one instant, a few days after she died when the whole family had basically decided that we wouldn’t even attend the funeral, I was hit between the eyes with a realization of how I and we were acting. My perspective completely changed and I convinced everyone that I was wrong in reacting with anger. I got them all to look at the past happenings from my new perspective of love and forgiveness.

I won’t go into any more details as this blog isn’t about me it’s about Paris Hilton. Suffice it so say we all went to the funeral and I got up and spoke about the positive things she had done and all was, well kind of, well.

From there I was a totally new person. Everything changed in my life. My priorities were turned totally upside down. I devoured anything to do with spirit or god or love. I used to be all about sports and business and competition. All the “normal” things guys are usually into.

My diet changed. My habits changed. My attitude toward everything was totally slanted to a perspective of love for all things. I totally cleaned house, literally, throwing stuff out, giving things away, not feeling any value in “stuff”. I had a burning desire to rid myself of any attachments. All I wanted was to help humanity get to what I believed and believe is the next step in human evolution.

Pretty weird huh? Sound familiar? Seems like Paris said similar things to Barbara Walters a few days into her return to prison.

See, I believe that we are, have or will go through a “spiritual awakening”. I believe we will change our attitudes from “make money” and “amass stuff” and “beat the competition” and “win at all costs” and “every man for himself” and “he’s not the same skin color so he isn’t as good or doesn’t belong” to one of unity, integrity and love. We’ll quit chasing the almighty dollar to pay for the things we “think” we need while sacrificing the things that can really fulfill us and give us enjoyment. Isn’t life meant to be enjoyable?

I know that it is in times of extreme chaos and trauma that our true selves come out. Whether it’s the death of a loved one or a car accident or a disease diagnosis or a relationship break-up or a person like Paris Hilton going to jail. It’s these times of extreme shake-up that we stop and examine our lives and ask the questions of why we do things and what is it all about. We examine our priorities and usually take a hard honest look at ourselves. This self examination is going on daily in the world but mostly without the media frenzy that Paris Hilton is experiencing.

When I saw her in the car getting hauled back to jail and she was crying uncontrollably, not caring who was looking and how she looked, I knew that she was being shaken to the soul. Then when I heard about the Barbara Walters phone call with her I knew that she was going through a spiritual awakening.


Now, of course I could be wrong. And I am sure I am in the minority of people who believe that she was sincere in what she said. Likely most considered it an act and when she gets out she’ll be the same spoiled rich kid but I’m not most. I believe that she will be a totally new person. I guess as they say time will tell and some will say “who cares”. I do. I look for these things that validate to me that humanity is changing. I see it every day in every facet of society. We are changing. It’s easy to just look at the “negative” items in the news but there is lots of examples that I could give you to show you that it is happening. It’s happening in our lifetime. It’s happening to people every day.


So I say “Way to go Paris!” “You go girl!” I’m cheering for you! Surprise the world. Be an example of the good things that can come from the “bad” experiences in life. Show all the cynics that you really did have a spiritual awakening. Let me be one of the first to welcome you to a new world.
