Coming Out

God designed you to be specifically yourself. It is your mission to find out who that is. That which feels good to you, what you are naturally drawn to (hobbies, wisdom, lovers) is the direction in which you are oriented—face this way; be guided toward people who support this version of you.

Express your-self. This is your duty. At the end of your days, you will report to God everything that you learned about what it was like to play the role of you.

When you worry about what others will think of you, you give them control. Why are you so quick to give control of your life to someone else? It makes you feel out of control; you become anxious and fearful – you are out of alignment with God because you are out of alignment with yourself.

With regards to sexuality, you may have noticed that a lot of people lately are finding love and finding themselves, and many more of them are coming out than ever before. As I mentioned in yesterday’s post, “WTF Is Happening?“, the Truth is rising above the illusion, or the immature self. And as male/female energy heals and balances all over the world, it will be even easier for all people to ‘come out’–as we will have less fear of ‘the other’ when we feel whole within ourselves.

Prayer: I love myself for who I am, and through the expression of self, I express a piece of God. I wish absolute freedom of expression for myself, and for the entire world. I am grateful that I am one of the lucky ones.  I open myself to personal growth and wholeness, and welcome the journey. I love who I love, and I love what I love. I desire to be the version of myself that God had in mind, which he placed in my heart. As I become myself, I release myself from bondage, and as I wish the same for the whole world; we are all released. I am always protected by my Truth. And So It Is. Amen.

Be yourself. You’re perfect for the role!

Love always,

The Jester

5/1/13 – WTF Is Happening?

…is a question you may be asking yourself, especially lately. There are many answers to this, here’s one: Male/Female Energy is going through a massive, massive cleansing right now. Karma is being burned, contracts are being broken, and for the most part, your ‘release’ system is on. Whether or not you’re consciously trying to release, it’s happening for you. Those who are in resistance in any way may be experiencing feelings of: anxiety, fear, frustration, anger, tension, stress, illness, pain, and general non-alignment with ‘how life is supposed to be’. Most everyone is in some kind of resistance; the larger the resistance, the bigger the emotional blow-back.

Everyone, the cords are breaking. As male and female energy comes into maturation, old ‘games’ are being revealed, and a desire to ‘grow up’ is taking over. Male/Female energy wants to be at peace with itself on the micro, macro, civil, and political levels. This desire-to-grow is magnetically attracting situations in our lives that 1) give us a chance to choose growth, whereas our former selves would have chosen to repeat, and 2) create a deeper desire to continue growing. Thus, the cycle continues.

illusion isThe vibration of Truth is rising above the illusions, like a flower breaking through concrete. The concrete is a very persistent illusion, material and hard, but the Flower is of god. The Truth comes out. People are coming out. They’re coming into acceptance of their Energy. Your energy wants to flow in the direction of your nature, and for many lifetimes you’ve been able to choose not to flow in that direction. In this lifetime, in 2013, you will not be able to choose resistance. The flow is happening for you, and those who surrender will reap.

Allow the wholeness of male/female energy within you to manifest in the way your higher self is choosing. Say a prayer of forgiveness (it can be basic, don’t freak yourself out) just say the words, “I release all energy in my space that does not serve my highest good, and I bring balance to all of the Male/Female energy within me, and I allow my energy to be itself.”

Tomorrow we will talk more about the idea of ‘coming out’.

‘Til then,

Sometimes All You Need Is…

I never schedule my haircuts. I simply wake up one morning and NEED my hair cut immediately. Sometimes all you need is a haircut.

With life, immense amounts of change, and general ungroundedness on the bound, I started compiling a list of the smallest things that can sometimes change your entire day/week for the better. Here’s what I have so far, please feel free to add more via comments:

Sometimes all you need is:

  • a really, really hot shower
  • a really, really short haircut 
  • a diet coke
  • a perfectly relevant song
  • yoga
  • pictures of babies/kittens/puppies
  • 4 hours locked in your room watching episode after episode of whatever on Netflix

That moment when you realize you and your friends used to have Borderline Personality Disorder.

Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD)- Winona Ryder in Girl Interrupted

Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD)- Winona Ryder in Girl Interrupted

You know that moment when you discover you, and probably at least a few of your friends, used to have, or still have, BPD? My moment happened to be on the radio. I’m the wingman on a monthly morning show called Happe Talk on KJFK in Reno. The special guest for the hour on this last show was Dr. Ed Lynn, Psychiatrist. In the beginning of this episode, host Michele Happe and Ed listed the 9 symptoms of BPD, and my mind was going: Check, check, check. I wasn’t sure whether it was more shocking to realize that, in the past (ages 12-23), I exhibited 5 out of 9 of those symptoms (the number that officially diagnosis someone with BPD), or the fact that I have frequently put up with friends that exhibited all 10. (I think when we see a piece of ourself in another, it’s harder to let go.)

If you’ve never heard of BPD before, or read the symptoms, you may feel relieved just by knowing that you’re not crazy (for having it, or for putting up with people who do.) If you realize that a close friend may have BPD, be cautious in sharing this news with them, because, as I mentioned above, it’s going to be in the nature of anyone who has BPD to FREAK OUT at the mere mention that they may need to seek help. Think about it, if there were ever a disease to be offended by, it’d be BPD.

I have WHAT?? F**k you. YOU have Borderline Personality Disorder. Jackass.

Often, they will claim that they are smarter than professional counselors and doctors, and/or that anyone who seeks any form of counseling is weak.  The best thing you can do is draw clear boundaries, be open and honest about what you think of their behavior, and ignore their attention-seeking behavior like you would a child; generally, they will either change for the better, or, find other people who want to play their game.

If you are the one exhibiting 5 or more symptoms, find help, either through a friend, counselor, church, or spiritual practice. Become mindful of your behavior, (Why did I just lie? Am I trying to make this situation worse? Why would I do that? Do I do that often?) BUT, don’t make a big deal out of how messed up and tortured you are–just become conscious of your thoughts and behaviors. Humility and self-awareness are key. Change like this can take place in a quantum moment when you realize how powerful you are; you were powerful enough to create these intricate dramas, and now you’re powerful enough to surrender.

Namaste,

The Jester

I am. I feel. I become. I love. I speak. I see. I know. A Brief Explanation of The Powers of your Chakras and How to Use Them.

A Brief Explanation of The Powers of your Chakras and How to Use Them:

"Chakra" - spinning wheel of energy.

1st- I AM. Your root chakra, located at the base of your spine; it is the oldest chakra in our human evolution and it’s function is to contain survival information for you as a being, as well as connect you to the center of the Earth Mother, and bring things manifest. Energy on Earth vibrates in the realm of Creation; things come to fruition on this World just as the Earth Mother bears her fruit. When used properly, the chakra can connect you to Earth’s center and should be a pure drain from which you release all energy that does not serve you–at the Earth’s center, it burns and returns as neutral energy. Your dreams become reality when you are connected to the Earth from your first Chakra.

2nd- I feel. Your sacral chakra, located on your spine just below the belly button; it’s function is to contain information about your emotional body. It is both your ocean of existence of this Earth, as well as your compass through which you navigate the direction of your being. Emotions are meant to be felt in full, but with complete un-attachment to them, so that they may flow through you freely, with no blockage. Suppressing and ignoring, or hoarding and possession of emotions creates glitches in your ability to navigate your personal path with clarity and love. When clear, the 2nd chakra is the factory of creativity, where coals burn thoughts into ideas of self-expression.

3rd – I become. Your solar plexus; your information source of identity, sense of self, and personal power. It is from this chakra that you create in the world. Feminine 3rd chakras are so powerful that they have the ability to make babies. You can become anything from this center, but when not cleared, some of those things you can become are manipulative, controlling, and abusive to yourself and others. What energies are YOU creating in your world? What vibration are you putting out there? What are you creating…right here, right now? You become your creation.

4th- I love. Your heart center, located on the spine near the physical heart. This chakra contains all of the information you’ve collected in this lifetime, other lifetimes, and from the collective consciousness about Love. The 4th chakra was the message of the Christ, who reminded us that through the power of forgiveness, we can enter the 5th dimension, which is the Heaven on Earth. It is already here. This chakra has the power to heal by transforming or allowing energy to be whole, which it already IS. This chakra also unites Heaven on Earth and can bring your dreams to fruition through loving acceptance that you already are. It also literally has the power to transform your DNA. For realzees. Here, watch this: DNA Coding.

5th – I speak. Your throat chakra, located on your spine at your throat. This chakra contains your information about communication. Blockages in the throat chakra can create interesting physical illnesses (as with the rest of the chakras). What kind of energy do you communicate with? Are you communicating about the past, present, or future? Are you communicating with love and kindness, or anger and frustration? Can you listen? Self-expression is life, and self-expression through your 5th chakra is very powerful, mystical, and magical.

6th- I see. Your 3rd Eye, right behind your brow bone at your pineal gland, which is the center of your reality and your entire universe. The 6th chakra is one of the newest chakras, and when you can hold 100% of your attention here, you create and see everything that is real, The Truth, The Spirit, The Light. This is the only energy center on your body from which you are truly neutral, and through neutrality, you can steer your boat. Life is like a virtual reality video game, and the 6th chakra is your control panel, your cockpit, from which you access the rest of your energy body and control your life in the third dimension. Blockages here will keep you from seeing your Path on this Earth clearly. Also, blockages in your 6th will force you to operate out of your other chakras, which by nature are not neutral, and you can move into the vibration of judgement and fear, whic can illness and decay for your Mind-Body-Spirit.

7th – I know. Your Crown chakra, located at, well, your crown. This was your soft spot as a baby (makes sense now, right?) Your crown chakra has so many awe-some powers, as it is the newest product of our spiritual evolution. From your crown, you have the ability to leave your body, channel other beings, and bring Divine Light down the spine and through the body. Also, your crown chakra contains the information about your consciousness, which is actually the entire consciousness for there is only One infinite consciousness which contains all of the information of the entire consciousness in its pieces. This is our holographic universe, and from the 7th, you Know your Oneness with it. This is your enlightenment center.

Well, that’s about as Cliff Notes as I can get with the chakras. Before I go, here are some important ideas for those of you who are new to the class:

  • I used to think that the higher chakras, the more evolved chakras, were more important than the lower chakras, and I also believed the lower chakras were not as powerful because of it. Because of this belief, and because of a variety of other experiences, I spent most of my life un-grounded and outside of my body, and have spent the last 3 years working very hard to heal and open my lower chakras. The lower chakras are extremely important, and must work in balance with the entire system. In fact, total 1st/7th connection would be the ultimate state for the human being, I would think. They say a woman who is lucky enough to have a natural birth with no medicine can experience this 1st/7th Chakra unification during birth.
  • Reiki is the art of balancing and healing the chakras. You can find great Reiki practitioners in your town. You can also find places like the Reno Psychic Institute, where you can learn to be a healer, as well as learn to read chakras.
  • There are currently 7 principle chakras, as mentioned above. There are additional chakras as well; there are chakras in your hands that allow you to create, and chakras in your feet that allow you to run Earth energy through your body.
  • There are new major chakras emerging as we continue to evolve and more light begins to enter the Universe. There will soon be at least 12, and they are opening in people RIGHT NOW. Read this message from Archangel Gabriel.
  • Knowing how to run your energy and use your chakras optimally is a tool that can help you play this game of Life. Any form of energy work or education that calls to you is right for you. I highly recommend institutions like The Reno Psychic Institute, The Berkley Psychic Institute, martial arts, reiki, Matrix Energetics, and whichever books on the subject call to you. You can also receive fantastic chakra readings at RPI if that sounds like a fun and safe first step for you.

To Infinity and Beyond,

The Jester
