The greatest gift you were ever given is your imagination. Within it is the capacity to have all your wishes fulfilled. Look around you. Everything that you can experience with your senses was once in someone’s imagination. – Wayne Dyer
Written by David T. Nichol of the Gaiafield Project
One of the characteristics of our strange new post-US election world is that things are in such flux it is difficult to orient ourselves to the new environment and know what actions to take. It is as though a bomb has blown open a gaping hole in the established structures of thought, leaving most of us scrambling to make sense of our new reality. We are being required to re-evaluate our most fundamental assumptions about how things are and where we thought we were going.
In this psychic maelstrom there are real dangers. We can hear in our times the echoes of previous traumatic episodes of history, and many of us are working hard to assess whether or not our situation will likely unfold in similar fashion. However, this opening also creates an unprecedented space for the influx into society of radically creative ideas and energies. Thus we also have an opportunity to make rapid, non-linear progress in our collective evolution.
Much of my work over the past ten years has involved tuning into and working with collective fields of consciousness. What I sense emerging on a deep level in the collective right now are new energies of unprecedented creative power. It is as though there is virtually unlimited support for completely fresh ideas and directions, whereas old, habitual arrangements seem by comparison almost lifeless. We are all up-leveling to a fundamentally new world and are being asked to discover our new shape in this emerging reality.
The sense is that creative evolutionary forces are vigorously engaged in a process of absorbing, metabolizing, and re-calibrating to the shock of the disruption. The depth of the blow will in due course catalyze creative responses of equal and opposite magnitude. But these responses will not arise from the same states of consciousness we currently identify with. In grappling with the crisis, we ourselves will undergo a fundamental transformation. We are all being called to a higher level of integration, individually and collectively.
The light of awareness is strongly illuminating the shadow right now, at both personal and collective levels. It is an opportune time to look unflinchingly, but with great compassion, at our own places of personal weakness and egoic resistance. Where do we drag our feet in our process of becoming awake and whole? What dysfunctional patterns of behavior and thought do we tend to indulge, even after years of inner work? What places do we feel deep down are ‘impossible’ to shift? Where do we stubbornly hold onto our defensive structures, although on some level we know better? Just holding these questions sincerely can invite a more pristine awareness into even these extremely challenging parts of our psyches.
In this process, it is crucial to understand that we are not doing it alone, nor are we doing it just for our own benefit. The crisis into which we have been thrown has made it clear that we are linked together in an epic evolutionary drama, and we all need to do our part. As we heal and integrate the places of deepest resistance in our own psyches, we contribute to the development of a collective psychic capacity to integrate the most fearful and defended aspects of our society.
To accomplish this inner work may require a certain level of individual courage, but it is not occurring in isolation. We are rising in awareness together, and we can all help each other lean into the hard places. Much of the work involves simply having the humility to acknowledge that we, like everyone else, have our shortcomings, and then allowing ourselves to receive the support of our fellow travelers and the heightened energies of transformation available right now.
The threat of losing that which we hold precious about human civilization and life on Earth is indeed precipitating a collective awakening in human consciousness. Our shared sense of vulnerability is bringing a greater poignancy and immediacy to all our connections. There is a widespread sincerity to ask real questions and a willingness to go to a deeper level.
These conditions can lead to the emergence of something truly remarkable in collective human awareness, even while we face grave dangers.
I created this affirmation to give myself the comfort of feeling protected. As I reflect on this mantra, I realize that there seem to be only two ways for things to happen in anyone’s life. (Please correct me if I’m wrong) First is the life plan your higher self designed for you to live, including the major highs and lows in your life you are meant to experience for your spiritual evolution. These are unavoidable and no affirmation will prevent these from happening. Second is the Law of Attraction. Every single person in this world creates their own unique reality through this law and their thoughts and subconscious beliefs. If you believe the world is hostile or unsafe you will create events to support this. As I have done extensive belief work on myself to the point that I believe I no longer need to create emergencies or “test” experiences to grow through, I believe there is nothing I need to be protected from. When you live with an open heart and radiate Lovelight there is simply no way to attract anything less than that vibration.
An affirmation is an agreement you make with yourself to improve an aspect or all aspects of your life. Affirmations are useless if your subconscious doesn’t believe them. You have to take baby steps in creating ones that are true for you. I can tell if my sub doesn’t believe something because a conflicting thought will surface like “No, this world is scary and you have to be careful because someone could hurt your family.” When that happens I use muscle self testing (kinesiology) and yes and no questions to drill down and find out the underlying belief of that thought. But you also have to make the decision to choose to believe it’s working and to take all good things that happen to you as evidence of it working. Your entire being has to be on the same page and opt in. If your ego or inner child is sabotaging you you need to do belief work or affirmations won’t work for you. This is my one of my favorite affirmations that I say all the time and it works! Whether I am getting a charge reversed on my account, or whenever I call customer service for something, or when I’m driving on the road and people let me in front of them, it works! When you state an affirmation and really believe it the magic will begin to happen and you start to see evidence of it working. Then it becomes easy to maintain. If this affirmation is too big of a gap for you to believe, create one that you CAN believe.
Most everyone in this world, but especially lightworkers are bombarded every day by our daily life. In addition to the need to make a living and take care of families and ourselves, we are also asked to find the time to meditate, send love to the world and help humanity make the ascension shift. Sometimes its all a little overwhelming so I created this graphic for myself and want to share in case it helps others.
The universe is basically a Xerox machine. It gives you (for the most part) what you put into it. If you are negative and fearful then those are the kinds of experiences you are going to receive. Life becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy and experiences build on each other. Energy responds to energy. Like attracts like. When you don’t have awareness of how the world works, you are unconsciously creating the experiences that shape your reality. Awareness helps you become a conscious creator, and you begin to be in charge of your experiences instead of them just “happening to you”.
An affirmation is an agreement you make with yourself to improve an aspect or all aspects of your life. Affirmations are useless if your subconscious doesn’t believe them. You have to take baby steps in creating ones that are true for you. I can tell if my sub doesn’t believe something because a conflicting thought will surface like “No, the Universe hates you and is always conspiring against you.” When that happens I use muscle self testing (kinesiology) and yes and no questions to drill down and find out the underlying belief of that thought. But you also have to make the decision to choose to believe it’s working and to take all good things that happen to you as evidence of it working.

Louise Hay is one of my favorite people to listen to. Her affirmations and perspective are so positive and encouraging I always feel better after reading her messages in my email. She is one of the greatest spiritual teachers of our time and we are so blessed to have her with us.
“I do whatever I need to do to keep my inner world peaceful. My inner peace is essential for my health and well-being.”
More than ever there seems to be so much in the world to fear. On the news, in life and in the very fabric of our existence. I understand, it is human to fear what we can’t control and we don’t understand. The wonderful thing about fear is we can change that fear into faith. Though that may sound difficult, it is actually a simple shift of our own intent and perspective. By understanding that we can’t control everything or anything but ourselves, that in itself becomes our strength. Each of us has the ability to influence the world, see the beauty in life, and spread faith through our attitudes and actions.
Psychologist and author Susan Jeffers once stated, “Everybody feels fear when approaching something totally new in life—yet so many are out there doing it despite the fear—then we must conclude that fear is not the problem.”
Love is the opposite of fear. The more we’re willing to love and trust who we are, the more we attract those qualities to ourselves. When we’re on a streak of really being frightened or upset or worried or not liking ourselves, isn’t it amazing how everything goes wrong in our lives? It’s the same when we really love ourselves. Everything starts to go on a winning streak, and we get the green lights and the parking spaces. We get up in the morning and the day flows beautifully.
We need to love ourselves so that we can take care of ourselves. We have to do everything we can to strengthen our hearts, our bodies, and our minds. We must turn to the Power within, find a good spiritual connection, and really work on maintaining it.
Let’s do some affirmations right now to help go beyond our negative thoughts:
I am willing to release my fears. I live and move in a safe and secure world. I free myself from all destructive fears and doubts.
Then we are in faith, not fear.
This exercise is designed to help give you a powerful new perspective on how rapidly you can create the conditions for profound changes to happen in yourself and in your life. Created by Jean Houston and Evolving Wisdom.
It involves the second Key to unlocking your Quantum Powers: Living a New Story in Your Life.
One of the most critical aspects of the transition into living your Quantum Life is to realize that change is actually the foundation of your entire existence.
In every moment you live, your thoughts and experiences change you in some way.
For most people, most of the time, this change is so small as to essentially go unnoticed, and as it is all too easy to become invested in resisting change and keeping things known and comfortably the same, that tends to slow things down even further.
But once you begin to embrace the truth of this constant state of change, it is then up to you how profoundly that change unfolds in your life, through the thoughts and experiences you open yourself up to or consciously choose to pursue.
So, it becomes exceedingly important that you not hold on so tightly to whatever you see as your “story” now, but to instead create a daily experience of wonder and astonishment that reinvents your story as it happens in real time.
In order to do this, you must take hold of the moment you are in and make choices that will lead you to the story you want to live, allowing you to quite literally leap beyond your current boundaries into that life you have dreamed for yourself.
You must discover new ways of creatively engaging yourself in even the most mundane of everyday activities, like getting dressed or preparing food or walking from room to room, as well as finding more significant and inspiring challenges.
You must move out of conditioned habits and into experiments, exploring new possibilities for your interactions with yourself, others and the world.
This generates opportunities for new pathways to arise that will lead you to the future you feel called to create.
Once you do this, you will quickly begin to see the synchronicities reaching out to you at every turn, connecting you more and more deeply to all you are and can be, and so many aspects of your life will simply fall into place, and become, in a word, extraordinary.
Here is an experiment that will help you more easily move into this place of greater possibility:
First you must suspend disbelief and imagine very vividly that you can enter into the place where your own life story can be re-patterned and re-storied from the one you’re living now.
Think of it as a second chance, a kind of re-genesis.
You’ve had up to now a good deal of life experience, and chances are you’ve learned much and experienced a full spectrum of joys and sorrows but now wish to consciously enter into the co-creation of an improved, more vital, more creative story for the years ahead.
To start, close your eyes and take a few deep breaths. Then imagine yourself traveling to that Quantum place where anything and everything is possible.
Feel the energy of that higher realm coursing through you as you change levels, as you change frequencies and leave your current story behind.
Now, in this higher realm, see the vast domain of all possibilities before you and begin to engage those possibilities in the form of a new plan for yourself, a new pattern for your life to come.
Feel this new life coming toward you, rising out of the frequency waves—a potent, positive and creative tide, carrying the elements of your new story. See it right there before you, inviting your engagement.
Now begin to sense and consider what this new story of your life will be.
Perhaps you’ll choose a new career, a new art form to learn and explore, a furthering of some skill or activity you’ve only dabbled with in the past, new friends and relationships that will grant you the full range of emotional expression.
Perhaps there are adventures in store, visits to strange lands, meetings with new cultures and peoples that astonish and inspire you as they bring you more experience, more life, more delight, and more learning.
Perhaps you see a new story in which your spiritual life becomes more prominent, where you discover sources and resources that gift you with beauty, meaning and purpose.
Allow these and so much more to arise, along with the belief that these wonderful changes are not only possible but probable.
Try each possibility out on the screen of your mind and choose those that resonate for you.
See them, feel them, and above all, know them as potential realities that can manifest into the physical space-time world where you currently reside.
Continue to do this until you truly feel the living force of their reality.
And know, too, that the Quantum Field is drawn into your vision and is adding elements, coincidences, and resources to the vision, as well as the people, ideas and opportunities to help you in the realization of your new story.
This is the interdependent co-arising of you and the Universe together.
The more you use this exercise, the more your new story will grow in you, eventually to the point where what began as an imaginative possibility will become an actualizing probability.
And then, as opportunities arrive that begin to fit into the new story you have set in motion, meet each of those opportunities with deep gratitude and joy for the gifts they bring to you.

In the “Behind the Design” series I go deeper into explaining my thinking and reasoning for the words of each message so you can really understand the energy and intention I put into each design.
**Disclaimer** I am not an expert nor do I claim to be. These are just my thoughts and opinions on this subject. Take what you resonate with and leave the rest.
Recently in the Facebook group “The Shamanic View of Mental Illness” I spoke to a guy who is having trouble with “intrusive thoughts” and was self-medicating with the drug Abilify. He said the drug works well to “make them disappear” but that it “makes me more dull”. He was asking if the intrusive thoughts are signs of buried trauma. I don’t personally understand what an intrusive thought would be – when you’re unconscious your thoughts are in control of you. They trample your mind repeatedly with broken record persistence. I read from various online sites that people think an estimate of 50,000-70,000 thoughts per day. At those numbers it seems to me they are all intrusive.
Further into the exchange he explained the thoughts are overblown fears that he magnifies “100x”. I asked if he takes the time to go within and ask himself questions about each thought when it comes up. He basically said no, he doesn’t. And he LMAOed me.
We have been conditioned to go outside of ourselves for help. We would rather talk to a priest, teacher, family member, Cosmo magazine, random people on Facebook but we never think to tap into our own eternal wisdom. We don’t know our own power. And this is what amazes me about humanity. We will do everything under the sun to smother, bury, hide, deny and escape from our deepest, darkest feelings and parts of ourselves. We would rather fill our bodies with poisonous drugs than find the root cause of the discontent. Everything but look inside and acknowledge what’s there. I honestly don’t understand why people choose to cause themselves so much more pain and suffering by evading, escaping and deflecting instead of just facing head on and confronting those thoughts to heal and release them. The longer people do that the worse the issue becomes. Because they are just thoughts. They are only true if you believe them. They can either be a blessing or a curse. Positive or negative. They can inspire and empower or deflate and depress. Unless you have disorganized thinking/schizophrenia you are in control of your thoughts. You are able to discern if this is a thought worth believing or not. You are able to observe and extract each thought, ask yourself questions about each thought and decide what to do with each thought. You are in control of your mind and the thoughts you choose to have if you take the time to become aware of them instead of letting them run rampant and uncontrolled all day. You choose to cause your own suffering or not. The question is: are you ready to let go of the story you’re attached to and let yourself heal or do you continue to wallow in your own misery?
When a thought comes up that I have trouble with I find a quiet place where I can sit still and won’t be bothered. Then I let myself relax by just being aware of my surroundings and what I notice. Then I bring up the thought and I observe how my body feels. I take note of any tightness, increased heart palpitations, anxiety, feelings and emotions that come up. You might want to write this down in a journal if you have a lot of thoughts that you want to heal and release. It helps to remember what you’ve done in the past and review how far you’ve come. Then I ask myself these questions one by one (with plenty of time in between) and wait to see what comes up. You may find yourself asking questions different than mine and by all means go with whatever gives you the best answers.
You have to make an effort to slow down your thoughts so you can observe them. This only works if you allow space around each thought. You CAN do it.
What does this thought mean to me?
Is it true? Or false? What happens if it’s true/false? Will I be hurt? Will someone else be hurt?
Where does this thought come from? Is it mine? Is it from someone else?
What can I learn from this thought? What do I need to know? What is it trying to tell me?
Am I ready to heal/release this thought? Does it still serve me? Is my ego attached to it so I believe I need it?
What belief is attached to this thought? How long have I had this belief? Where does this belief come from?
Has this belief served its purpose? Am I ready to heal this belief? Can I let it go?
Oftentimes when I do this my mind is lead on tangents and I may not get clear and tidy answers to every question but I always feel better and have more information than I did before I asked. Remember this is a practice, not a quick-heal magic pill. You’re taking the time to get to know yourself, and that won’t be done in one sitting. More like many, many, many sittings. You may get what you need and you may not. You can ask yourself/your energetic spiritual team/The Universe for clarity. But you have to be open to receiving the answers or you won’t get anything. It can come right away or it can take days/weeks. You may have to ask repeatedly. Answers can come to you in dreams, flashes of insight, random thoughts that pop into your head, feelings, etc. There are so many ways but you have to be aware enough to make the connection. You could also try hypnosis, either self or by a trained therapist. Hypnosis is incredibly effective as a means of accessing your subconscious as an alternative to meditation. But again, depending on what you want to know it can take many sessions. Both put you in altered states of mind that allow deeper communication from within.
Your subconscious mind is always available to communicate with your conscious mind. But it is limited and can only reply to yes and no questions.
I find that the first immediate reply in my head is usually the correct one. If you don’t trust answers in your head (I didn’t for a long time and sometimes still don’t), another way to know the answers are accurate is to do muscle testing, aka kinesiology. Kinesiology uses your body’s electrical system and your muscles to tell you with spot on accuracy if something is positive or negative for you. I like this definition from Holistic Health Tools:
“If you’ve ever been to a chiropractor or holistic physician experienced in muscle testing, you’ve experienced kinesiology. The doctor tells you to stick out your arm and resist his pressure. It feels like he is trying to push your arm down after he has told you not to let him do it. Everything is going fine, and then all of a sudden he presses and your arm falls down like a floppy fish no matter how hard you try to keep it up. That is using kinesiology.
Simply stated, the body has within it and surrounding it an electrical network or grid. If anything impacts your electrical system that does not maintain or enhance your health and your body’s balance, your muscles, when having physical pressure applied, are unable to hold their strength. (Muscle power is directly linked to the balance of the electrical system.) In other words, if pressure is applied to an individual’s extended arm while his/hers body’s electrical system is being adversely affected, the muscles will weaken and the arm will not be able to resist the pressure. The circuits of the electrical system are overloaded or have short-circuited, causing a weakening of that system. However, if pressure is applied while his electrical system is being positively affected, the circuits remain strong, balanced and capable of fully functioning throughout the body. The muscles will remain strong, the person will easily resist and the arm will hold its position.”
When you’re by yourself you use your fingers to test. Using either hand, make a circle with your thumb and first (index) finger. Apply enough pressure to keep it closed. With your other hand using the same fingers, form another circle through the first circle so you have two interlocked circles. After you ask a question, using your dominant hand try to pull your fingers through and break the circle of the other hand. If the answer is positive, the circle is unbreakable and strong. If it’s negative it will be weak and easily break. Start by asking yourself some baseline question you know the answers to like your name, age, etc. When you feel comfortable that it’s accurate you can begin asking the hard questions. After each one try to break the circle and see what the answer is. I really do recommend writing down your answers because this journey of self-exploration works best when tracked.

*************
I didn’t really know what it meant to ‘go within’ until the year 2015. I knew about meditation, and I dabbled but it never really stuck with me. I’ve been on my spiritual journey on and off my entire adult life and only in the last few years has it really intensified resulting in my partial awakening and higher consciousness. It was only when I began doing serious belief work that I went within to ask myself questions about my beliefs. I’ve since cleared a lot of negative beliefs I’ve held my whole life. I can honestly say that I no longer have ANY negative thoughts about myself (and I used to have a ton like everyone else). I can honestly say that I have released pretty much all negative thoughts and emotions like fear, worry, doubt, anxiety, etc. I’m still working on anger, frustration, impatience and more but I’m aware of them when those thoughts come into my head. This is the journey we all signed up for when we asked to incarnate as a human on this planet so until we cross over or ascend into the 5th dimension we will continue working on the lower vibrations within our energy field. You’re never done! Even when you think you are, there’s always more!
I have compassion for all of us that have lived or are living in the illusion of our pain and suffering. What I do not have compassion for anymore, is enabling people to live in their stories and not calling them on what I see or hear. To me it’s more helpful to point out what they may not recognize in themselves and help them see through the story they believe is causing them pain. And if they are not ready for such bluntness they will fight and resist. And that’s fine too. My job as a lightworker is to shed light on darkness, even if it causes more pain to be illuminated. The path to 5D enlightenment can only be made when we acknowledge our shadow and integrate it with our light. You choose how painful or graceful your process is. Everything is coming up now during this tumultuous transition we are going through, so either face it head on and go within or continue to suffer. You ALWAYS have a choice.
