Channeling - Tobias by way of Geoffrey Hoppe

Find your smile
and you find your connection
with the divine. - Random Sparks of Light

From the first day that I started channeling and working with the energy of the nightlight in 1997, I have remained curious about others who might be like me.

I have yet to find a person who also works with light and have been told I am unique in that aspect...as each of us is unique in what we are here to offer...but there is that curiosity about the process and how others who had similar profound awakenings to the multidimensional aspect of our incarnation encountered dramatic shifts in their awareness and embraced the ability and the opportunity to become conscious channels for the divine and others.

Prior to channeling, My early influences were Emmanuel and Lazaris. I studied Oren and Daben and A Course in Miracles. I also realized that the thoughts I held can also influence my experience as well and worked to elevate those to the best of my ability. When the encounter finally came, I still was more than amazed. Channeling changed my life.

Even now that I am solid with the connection and the messages available through the process, I continue to seek out and try to share the word about others and their unique messages. We are all connected. As we learn and evolve, all evolves and grows.

Tobias is channeled by Geoffrey Hoppe. His story is fascinating. The information is very loving and valuing and - coming to an end for the public presentation part of it. Unlike the guides I work with and the light energy with whom I agreed to work - who have not been in human form, Tobias says he has been in human form and he intends to reincarnate.

Channeled information is - for me - always informative and encouraging in terms of being open to explore new ways of being and expressing conscious awareness. We still must exercise discernment over what we choose to buy into and determine the information that works best for us.

Find out more about Tobias on the webcast interview here LOA with Jewels
or on his home site: CrimsonCircle.com.

When we open our minds to experiencing life in a multidimensional state, we began to incorporate more of our divine nature. The story Tobias presents suggests there is yet another way to experience life outside the box and the soul is always evolving no matter the form.

Of all the personal messages I have been given, the one that really sticks is to enjoy life and simply find the joy in being. To be fully human is to be fully divine.

Past, Present and Future - Soul Incarnate

It is thought and feeling which guides the universe, not deeds. - Edgar Cayce

One of my favorite books is Many Lives, Many Masters by Dr. Brian Weiss.

Along that same line, in 2003, Robert Schwartz had a life changing session with a medium in which he discovered his soul had preplanned everything in advance... Intrigued, he took it a step further and contacted several gifted mediums and intuitives to explore the concept of soul prelife planning.

The result is a peek into the process with ten different people in his book: You Soul's Plan. - Here Robert gives us a preview -



I'd like to speak with Robert on Conscious Living and have requested a date. My guides work with me on a daily basis. It's nice to see the connections with others and how each of us works our life plan.

Clearly - we know more than we think but there wouldn't be anything to learn if we remembered all of it in advance. Forgetting is how we create the opportunity to learn and grow... and when it is time... we remember.

One of the first visions I remember having after I started working with my guides and the energies of the nightlight was of a man sitting at a red and white checker clothed table. I saw him from the side and he looked a bit tired. I had a sense he was important somehow and in that viewing it seemed that he had a lot on his mind.

A short time later, I saw a photo and recognized the man I had seen as Edgar Cayce. My spirit teachers kept telling me to study the praying mantis and gave me the phrase "sleeping prophet". I wasn't sure what it all meant and then I began to understand more about how we are all connected and have the ability to check in on each other past and present - because the spirit plane has no use for time.

I have since done some things in and out of time that would have seemed too fantastic to imagine at that point in my life. But the guides have been very good at prepping me in advance and allowing me to get used to the abilities as I worked to improve my sense of awareness of the non-physical realm.

The frustration and very humbling part of that kind of knowing is that it doesn't lend itself to "knowing" anything one can automatically spout. When it is needed, it comes; and rather than being espoused it is demonstrated. Thus requiring each to actually do his own homework. There are no short cuts for spiritual growth.

In the interim one can appear to know very little. And I mean very little.... but that is yet another way to keep a system of checks and balances to allow for steady growth and advancement where each is a necessary part to the whole. We are all part of the puzzle. None is too insignificant. When joined...we create a wonderful ONE.

I am remembering more as I need it. That is what makes life so fun. Not only do we get to play with new stuff, we get to reconnect and draw from old abilities when they are needed. There is so much here in the textures, layers and dimensions of us that can never be learned from a book. The first step is opening your mind and your heart. Then it is just a matter of time before you unfold from the cocoon and like the butterfly... take flight on the wind.

If ever you feel lost, remember: All the light you need you are born carrying within.

- When ye are prepared for a thing, the opportunity to use it presents itself. - Edgar Cayce

Gracie's night at the Inn

Lots of people talk to animals.... Not very many listen, though.... That's the problem. ~Benjamin Hoff, The Tao of Pooh ~

It isn't always apparent when a hotel guestroom already has an occupant. If I had been more clued in to our dog Gracie's behavior, I could have done the math on our additional room companions a bit quicker.

Although the activities were minor and might otherwise have gone unnoticed by a guest who chose to overlook bathroom drawers opening on their own, someone who traveled with a pet might have had a bigger challenge.

I prefer to avoid sleeping in rooms that are haunted but sometimes it's a matter of convenience and since we hadn't booked anything in advance for this vacation (mostly because I don't like to be stuck with a preset schedule), we were up for accepting whatever seemed to be the best available space.

Gracie might have given us a warning but she hadn't been consulted nor had we even considered that aspect. So that's how we got the extra bunkers for the night. (We may have to rethink that on future vacations.)

Our first clue might have been when, at 2:30 in the morning, totally out of character, Gracie woke us up with an urgent request to go outside. During the time she and Andy were out, I felt something brush against my arm. The move was very soft and subtle so I didn't think much of it; then I got up and noticed a drawer in the bathroom was slightly ajar so I pushed it back in place.

By this time, Gracie had returned with a perplexed Andy who said, whatever the urgent reason for the outside outing, it had nothing to do with taking a potty break. At this point I did notice she had claimed two distinct areas in the room: a very secure corner space, nestled between the wall and two suitcases on the floor and now, after her walk, right beside Andy - on the bed. Once again, we settled in for the night.

Just prior to getting up and still half asleep - I had a glimpse of an arm being thrown over my side. When I felt no physical impact, it dawned on me the arm I saw looked nothing like Andy's. Affirmation came within seconds when Andy made the same move.

Once again, pushing another cabinet drawer back into place, I asked Andy if he had forgotten to close the drawers. He said he hadn't opened any drawers and if he did he certainly would have closed them.

The kicker was when we went off to enjoy the complimentary breakfast and left Gracie in the room alone. It then became very apparent who the ghost was really interested in.

We came back and opened the door to a blaring television alarm and a visibly agitated Gracie, who was now occupying the center of the bed. She didn't bark but was clearly relieved to see us return. The surprise: the bottom left corner of the bedspread and the sheet under it had been completely turned back off of the bed.

Gracie and I are connected enough that she can often give me a clue about her encounters. So I asked her if she could tell me what had gone on in our absence. Her reply? Gracie said, "They wanted me to play with them but I didn't know how."

Who and what were "they"? Gracie couldn't help me with that. But from what Andy and I sensed, one appeared to be a child. The other was an older man. Whether they resided at the hotel or were just passing through like we were, wasn't apparent. The hotel employee I did ask offered no information - and I didn't ask any more questions. No need. I've been through this enough to know answers don't always help.

So we packed and headed off to the next destination. By this time it's kind of a given for me that we will run into a few ghosts along the way. Whatever the case, Gracie was happy she didn't have to stay a second night.

Believing without seeing

What may be true may not be correct. - Talking to Nightlights

When we are ready to grow in the metaphysical sense, we reach out and make new spiritual connections. We don’t and they appear – to give us a prod. Life becomes illuminating!

The latest phase on my spiritual cycle of growth required yet another tremendous leap of faith. I could hold tight to the reality rail I held with an iron grip and had locked onto to steady myself for the duration of a tumultuous journey of awakening – all the while – inhaling more water as the lights flickered and faded around me and the ship sank – or I could jump into the unknown and ride the current out into the inky, black sea of potential and hope the sharks were elsewhere when I smacked the surface of dark water.

Into the life dream came a familiar presence, one I had met and connected to in my youth but had been pulled away from through various twists of fate. We had no time to explore a relationship to see if there could be a life connection. It seemed we were not meant to become more.

And that made this choice even harder. I had to push this one away again, fully prepared to turn my back on all such scenarios. This leap required there could be no suggestion of a relationship Plan B. Those who intuit energy can read the waves.

The only way my present could resolve past issues and keep the future from becoming a convoluted muck of energy cesspools was to trust my inner knowing. My light body energy had to be devoid of metaphysical nuance and deception. A tiny spark of either and the current atrophied life connection would become attracted to that source and reattach.

What was – was not working. What had been was no more and what could become had revealed itself to be more of the unworkable same. Even if I found something or someone else to be no better, I would be free without having compromised my integrity and my higher self.

Having done that, I was hit broadside with an avalanche of dark psychic energy. Swirling in and around me – a living, breathing, metaphysical labyrinth that I was required to work my way through – starting at the center, reclaiming and integrating my light – with no down time to assess or prepare.

That immersion required that I call upon everything I had been given, taught and learned through daily schooling with my guides and from the energies of the nightlights. My leap required faith to catch me.

I discovered once again that we have more to learn about reality than we can ever hope to imagine but the saving grace is that a strong spiritual connection assures the information required to keep us safe from harm in such trials is ever present and given when necessary.

There is no need to store it. Access requires accountability. Those who would misuse it – can’t get it. One must become light as a feather and stronger than the wind. Surprise.

One who is willing to do the homework and unconcerned about credit or proof can get the mother lode. And each and every one in the encounter is elevated to a higher plane. That is spiritual evolution, a burst of enlightened awareness. Score!

When we are ready to do the work our soul signed on for prior to this incarnation – when we have demonstrated spiritual integrity and the need is real – our guardian angels manifest in whatever divine form is required to provide assistance.

Life from that point on depends upon us dropping all that has been accepted as real to allow the mystical unreality a manifest platform. We can’t know. We must breathe and go forward – as every single sense becomes dramatically enhanced that we might feel our way as we merge with the spirit we thought inaccessible in this form.

We do that - and we know more. His saving grace - God delivers in loving embrace. We join and trip the light fantastic while the Universe explodes multi-dimensional fireworks, wonders of wonders hidden amongst the particles and waves.

With such an encounter comes responsibility much like that bestowed upon one considered to be a true lover. There are no shortcuts to that higher plane. Challenges are enormous. Homework must be done. Clues can be given; and many are – under the guise of riddles and koans.

Consequences are harsh for any who would try to bend the rules. Without exception, all is lost to those who would kiss and tell.

Tripping the mind fantastic - shamanic traveling

"You are the music while the music lasts."
- T. S. Eliot -

When we can think ourselves around the boundaries of the present state of being we can become free to morph our awareness to extend beyond the current auto-pilot state of mind, body, spirit to allow for and include conscious processing of light/energy body cues and signals in the manifest plane. And what we are and can do in that expanded state of light/energetic awareness knows no limits.

To get there from here, we evolve by incorporating: 1/ content we arrive with from past incarnations, 2/ content we are given in DNA, 3/ content we learn as we navigate this awareness and 4/ content we are able to grasp from spirit essence perspective to become more/light – know it or not.

I write what I know. Words and explanation are not easy at this point but this is a general description of what I experience in my daily life. There are those who are able to manifest a type of omni presence that allows for a shifting of life essence to appear, or shift the appearance seen by others in more than one plane of awareness. Not only does that allow for a bent reality, it allows for the bending of minds, a time shift and a shift in consciousness. (Not necessarily in that order.)

When such a life form influences another or an event happens and one has a way to validate it within himself, regardless of whether it can be validated by group consciousness, because the group has yet to arrive at that state of knowing (and may refuse to address such matters outright); a new awareness dawns. The phrase “All is not what it seems,” is no longer lip service. It simply is. Then comes the realization: I am not what I seem. At once, the mind begins to stretch to expand reality.

When one has done her/his homework and kicked the fear addiction to see beyond the illusion of what we currently accept as reality, a light being of such caliber can show up to open a window into the journey of a lifetime. Expect the encounter to be even more mind tripping if you are given an open door.

Do remember to maintain a solid focal point for grounding. You will require such an assist to assure a safe return to the address from which you departed. Understand, a few things might appear to be out of place and they are. The reality you left is no more. You are returning to a reality that has undergone an expansion - to accommodate your enlightened view.

Loving soul and Letting grow

Soul-mates are people who bring out the best in you. They are not perfect but are always perfect for you. ~Author Unknown

And there are those Soul-mates who come at you from the adversarial position to force you to grow. They bring out the worst in you --- Your solution is entirely up to you.

Letter to a friend...

Control --- He does because he can...and he will until he can't. There is no easy answer... there is only a point when you have had enough. No right time - no wrong time... your time is your only asset. Whom you choose to spend it with should make you feel as wonderful while you are with them as you do when you are apart.

No deception or mind games. No heart ache. No guilt. No apprehension, worry, frustration, pain. Any who invokes those emotions is wasting the only thing you have limited amounts of.... Your time. It is totally up to you.

He has the same issue. There is no buzz from someone who isn't caught up with him. He needs that and will engage until there is a good enough distraction to pull him away. When that distraction arrives... Say "Thank you," and cut your losses. You will save your life.

Love and light, --------been there........done that. Hated admitting defeat. But when I did lose my broken heart, I won my life back and a better understanding of what romantic Love can be.

Infliction of intentional pain and heartache is something else. And so it goes...

--------

How lucky I am to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard.
~From the movie Annie

I do not begin to imply that my solution is other than what it is... my solution. I can only affirm it was the most loving choice I could live. Rather than staying, sometimes love can only be learned by going. Real love never dies... it merely expands the horizon.

- Without a team effort, relationship becomes a martyrdom. And that can very well be done solo.

- As I could not make the best of the present, I chose to create the best of my memory.

- I allow the most wonderful memories and cast all love lost others to the wind.

Days of Wonder - Beyond Belief

Assure me that you will never tire of wonder, never cease to be amazed, that you will forever banish your fear of the unknown... Only then can I take your hand and show you worlds that eclipse fantasy, dimensions where dreams are born.

Mind open, a soft whisper from within your soul, tapping familiar notes in harmony, you will hear upon return from our flight. Slowly, words will shimmer into the air, breathing in solid form, there are no letters to reveal, only inner knowing:

"All that and more is what you are here to remember. Dance the dream to life..."

Each client brings me a new piece of the puzzle. While my own metaphysical journeys - mystical, shamanic and otherwise - are quietly fantastical, I am honored to have the opportunity to hear from and share with others as they try to make sense of the jumbled realities they sometimes stumble upon.

There isn't always a place to go for affirmation, solace or consolation. I offer reassurance that we can and do experience "realities" that have no explanation --- far from abnormal --- those unique paranormal encounters that break from our known reality are merely demonstrating there remains a never ending wealth of new territory waiting to be mapped.

The family called me in as a lark. There were unexplained things happening in the house and even if I might not offer an answer, it would provide a form of entertainment for a radio program. Circumstances were such I could only give a few bits and pieces to retain some privacy. I asked no questions prior to the session. Some of what I learned, I can share.

The minute I entered the home, I connected with the ghost of a small child, a little girl... She loved to play in the children's room and sat in a small chair beside the door to an unfinished attic room. That door - they told me - had a problem remaining shut.

She said she played with another young child in the family. That child happened to be autistic. What could be communicated about that interaction would have been limited - but that also allows for more open access to the spirit plane.

As such, his mother described an experience where the child was seated on her lap and they both watched a small glowing hole open in the center of the living room entry door. Through that hole snaked a contingent of several party goers. All dressed in period clothes, a woman carried a tray of dishes and utensils as if they were attending an event. The group then vanished.

His mother felt she had seen what her child normally saw because they were sitting together and in physical contact. My own experiences affirm that.

When we share space and energy with others who are open or have done shamanic/intuitive work to gain access to that realm, we can share their encounters. In such an instance a skeptic can gain access to a world he cannot otherwise conceive. But that is not meant to offer proof. It is just to say - when realities collide - new doors open.

Imagination holds the key to wonder... wonder more that you might dream more... and beyond that we will grow.

Fall forward into Grace

Seek a teacher who remains a student in addition to retaining his/her zest for learning, as he can offer a constant supply of new lessons and fresh, first hand experience with recovery after falling flat on his/her face.

In that teacher, you might also find a supporter who will cheer you on toward your personal discovery/recovery and a challenger who will prod you to journey ever on (as there is no end to lessons or learning), while offering incentive, encouragement and direction.

After all is said and done - it will only look as if there was another standing at your side.

~

To excel beyond comparison on the path: One must find a way to stand -

ahead of oneself for guidance,
beside oneself for encouragement,
behind oneself for support,
within oneself for strength,
above oneself for inspiration,
below oneself for humility,

- if only to find it easier to kneel in gratitude.

Joy on the mystic journey

The entire fruit is already present in the seed. - Tertullian

Spirit is the wild card and our ticket to earn extra credit. The manner in which we engage that will determine whether we take the path well trod to follow those who came before to repeat --- or if we wake up in time, erase --- their mistakes. Or we can blaze a trail and make new mistakes for others to uncover, expose and repeat or erase.

Bottom line: Mistakes are just another part of the journey toward the one/whole/holy and part of the growth process of evolution when we choose to learn (about life - not from life) rather than duplicate our history in perpetuity.

Following or Blazing... Hold your head high, keep your eyes up, your ears open and your inner navigator tuned to receive. There is always another watching over you, waiting to provide an assist. It matters not whether you know it. Ask for an upgrade that you might sense that connection.

And when you least expect... that other will reveal the role to allow you to jettison excess baggage on your journey beyond the limits of imagination ... Those others exist in ALL forms and ALL dimensions as they are spirit in nature and not limited to conform to a mind construct.

Is there a final lap home? Nothing is final. There are endless beginnings and endings. Transitions and changing of scenes and scenery dot the multidimensional landscape... but the players just keep going ... evolving into the multi-faceted, iridescent quarks that illuminate eternity.

Remember. You are always HOME. Engage your mind for the greater good and you will free yourself from that which indicates otherwise.
