Human interactions can be so confusing, awkward and in many situations we don’t know what to say so we fall back on what we’re used to saying even if it’s not the best thing to say in that moment. Our egos and the belief systems we have in place are also responsible for missed opportunities to say thank you.
A few years ago when I received compliments I was unable to say thank you. I did exactly what James describes in this post – deflect and devalue the compliment and myself. I didn’t know it at the time but I had an unworthiness belief that was sabotaging me from receiving any good from the universe. When I started doing mirror work from the book “You Can Heal Your Life” by Louise Hay I learned to love myself and heal my unworthy issues. We all have unworthiness issues – it’s part of the separation we all agreed to experience in incarnating on Earth. I’ve also acknowledged and healed my defensiveness around criticism and feedback. Begin to be aware of your ego and belief systems and you will be able to say thank you effortlessly and really mean it. And life is good then!

Post by James Clear
I don’t say “Thank You” as often as I should and I doubt I’m the only one.
In fact, I’m starting to believe that “Thank You” is the most under-appreciated and under-used phrase on the planet. It is appropriate in nearly any situation and it is a better response than most of the things we say. Let’s cover 7 common situations when we say all sorts of things, but should say “Thank You” instead.
Before we talk about how to get started, I wanted to let you know I researched and compiled science-backed ways to stick to good habits and stop procrastinating. Want to check out my insights? Download my free PDF guide “Transform Your Habits” here.
1. When you’re receiving a compliment.
We often ruin compliments by devaluing the statement or acting overly humble. Internally, you might think this prevents you from appearing arrogant or smug.
The problem is that by deflecting the praise of a genuine compliment, you don’t acknowledge the person who was nice enough to say something. Simply saying “Thank You” fully acknowledges the person who made the compliment and allows you to enjoy the moment as well.
Example: “Your dress looks great.”
Instead of: “Oh, this old thing? I’ve had it for years.” Try saying: “Thank you. I’m glad you like it.” Example: “Wow! 20 points tonight. You played really well in the game.”
Instead of: “Yeah, but I missed that wide-open shot in the 3rd quarter.” Try saying: “Thank you. It was a good night.” Example: “You killed your presentation today!”
Instead of: “Did I? I felt so nervous up there. I’m glad it looked alright.” Try saying: “Thank you. I’m happy it went well.” There is something empowering about fully accepting a compliment. When you deflect praise, you can’t really own it. When you just say “Thank You,” you let the weight of the compliment sink in and become yours. Saying “Thank You” gives your mind permission to be built up by the compliments you receive.
Getting compliments should be fun and enjoyable, but we often ruin the experience. There’s no need to sabotage compliments that come your way. Accept them with grace and enjoy the moment.
2. When you’re running late.
Being late is the worst. It’s stressful for the person who is running late and it’s disrespectful to the person who is waiting.
It might seem strange to thank someone for dealing with your hassle, but that’s exactly the correct response. Most people stumble in the door and say, “Sorry I’m late.”
The problem is this response still makes the situation about you. Sorry, I’m late. Saying “Thank You” turns the tables and acknowledges the sacrifice the other person made by waiting. Thank you for waiting.
Example: You walk in the door 14 minutes late.
Instead of: “So sorry I’m late. Traffic was insane out there.” Try saying: “Thank you for your patience.” When we make a mistake, someone else often makes a sacrifice. Our default response is to apologize for our failure, but the better approach is to praise their patience and loyalty. Thank them for what they did despite your error.
3. When you’re comforting someone.
When someone comes to you with bad news, it can be awkward. You want to be a good friend, but most people don’t know what to say. I know I’ve felt that way before.
Often times, we think it’s a good idea to add a silver lining to the problem. “Well, at least you have…”
What we fail to realize is that it doesn’t matter if you don’t know what to say. All you really need is to be present and thank them for trusting you.
Example: Your co-worker’s mother passed away recently.
Instead of: “At least you have a lot of fond memories to hold onto.” Try saying: “Thank you for sharing that with me. I know this is a hard time for you.” Example: Your brother lost his job.
Instead of: “At least you have your health.” Try saying: “Thank you for sharing this with me. I’m here to support you.” Example: Your friend’s pet just died.
Instead of: “At least they had a long and happy life.” Try saying: “Thank you for sharing that with me. I’m here for you.” In times of suffering, we don’t need to hear words to ease the pain as much as we need someone to share our pain. When you don’t know what to say, just say “Thank You” and be there.
4. When you’re receiving helpful feedback.
Feedback can be very helpful, but we rarely see it that way. Whether it is an unflattering performance review from your boss or an email from an unhappy customer, the standard reaction is to get defensive. That’s a shame because the correct response is to simply say, “Thank You” and use the information to improve.
Example: “This work isn’t good enough. I thought you would do better.”
Instead of: “You don’t understand. Here’s what really happened.” Try saying: “Thank you for expecting more of me.” Example: “I bought your product last week and it already broke. I am not happy with this experience.”
Instead of: “How did you use it? We made it very clear in our terms and conditions that the product is not designed to work in certain conditions.“ Try saying: “Thank you for sharing your thoughts. Please know we are committed to becoming better. Can you share more details about the issue?” Nobody likes to fail, but failure is just a data point. Respond to helpful feedback with thanks and use it to become better.
5. When you’re receiving unfair criticism.
Sometimes criticism isn’t helpful at all. It’s just vindictive and mean. I’ve written about how to deal with haters previously, but one of the best approaches is to just say thank you and move on.
When you thank someone for criticizing you, it immediately neutralizes the power of their statements. If it’s not a big deal to you, then it can’t grow into a larger argument.
Example: “This might be good advice for beginners, but anyone who knows what they are doing will find this useless.”
Instead of: “Well, clearly, I wrote this for beginners. This might be a surprise, but not everything was written with you in mind.” Try saying: “Thank you for sharing your opinion. I’ll try to improve next time.” Example: “Your statement is the dumbest thing I’ve read all week.”
Instead of: “You’re an idiot. Let me tell you why…” Try saying: “Thank you for the feedback. I still have a lot to learn.” Releasing the need to win every argument is a sign of maturity. Someone on the internet said something wrong? So what. Win the argument by the way you live your life.
6. When someone gives you unsolicited advice.
This shows up a lot in the gym. Everybody has an opinion about what your technique should look like. I think most people are just trying to be helpful, but hearing someone’s opinion about you when you didn’t ask for it can be annoying.
One time, someone pointed out some flaws in my squat technique in a video I posted online. I responded by sarcastically asking if he had a video of himself doing it correctly. Somewhere deep in my mind, I assumed that if I reminded him that his technique wasn’t perfect, then I would feel better about the fact that mine wasn’t perfect either. That’s an unnecessary and defensive response.
The better approach? Just say “Thank You.”
Example: “You know, you should really keep your hips back when you do that exercise.”
Instead of: “Oh really? Do you have a video of yourself doing it so I can see it done correctly?” Try saying: “Thank you for the help.” Pointing out others faults doesn’t remove your own. Thank people for raising your self-awareness, even if it was unsolicited.
7. When you’re not sure if you should thank someone.
When in doubt, just say thank you. There is no downside. Are you honestly worried about showing too much gratitude to the people in your life?
“Should I send a Thank You card in this situation?” Yes, you should.
“Should I tip him?” If you don’t, at least say thank you.
Learning how to live our lives with an attitude of gratitude is an exercise in discipline and awareness. I admit that for much of my adult life I hardly paid any attention to being grateful until my spiritual journey led me to the Law of Attraction and Esther Hicks and Abraham. Only then I began to understand how important being and feeling appreciative is for creating the mindset of working with the universe and being in the flow. Knowing that ‘what you believe you receive’ has helped me to clear out the negative thoughts that used to run freely in my head like a broken record. Because I am aware of my thoughts, I am able to find something to appreciate in even the toughest situations.
The hardest thing I have ever done in my life is move in to my dad’s house in Sacramento, CA. It’s not an ideal situation or living condition but after a year of resisting, I realized that through the decisions I made in my life, I created the opening to be here for my spiritual growth. Being here in my biggest discomfort zone has helped me to awaken faster than any other time in my life. And even though my dad is my biggest nerve grater, I am thankful to him for being my greatest teacher even though he doesn’t know it. I am appreciating the freedom living here affords me. We must dig deep and find things to appreciate in our lives or they will be unbearable and not worth living.
This article is fantastic and Robert makes so many good points I have to share his writing on being grateful. Enjoy!

“Count your blessings and you will have an attitude of gratitude.” ~Sir John Templeton
“It’s easy to feel grateful when life is good, but when disaster strikes, gratitude is worth the effort.” ~Robert Emmons
A decade’s worth of research on gratitude has shown me that when life is going well, gratitude allows us to celebrate and magnify the goodness. But what about when life goes badly? In the midst of the economic maelstrom that has gripped our country, I have often been asked if people can—or even should—feel grateful under such dire circumstances.
My response is that not only will a grateful attitude help—it is essential. In fact, it is precisely under crisis conditions when we have the most to gain by a grateful perspective on life. In the face of demoralization, gratitude has the power to energize. In the face of brokenness, gratitude has the power to heal. In the face of despair, gratitude has the power to bring hope. In other words, gratitude can help us cope with hard times.
Don’t get me wrong. I am not suggesting that gratitude will come easily or naturally in a crisis. It’s easy to feel grateful for the good things. No one “feels” grateful that he or she has lost a job or a home or good health or has taken a devastating hit on his or her retirement portfolio.
But it is vital to make a distinction between feeling grateful and being grateful. We don’t have total control over our emotions. We cannot easily will ourselves to feel grateful, less depressed, or happy. Feelings follow from the way we look at the world, thoughts we have about the way things are, the way things should be, and the distance between these two points.
But being grateful is a choice, a prevailing attitude that endures and is relatively immune to the gains and losses that flow in and out of our lives. When disaster strikes, gratitude provides a perspective from which we can view life in its entirety and not be overwhelmed by temporary circumstances. Yes, this perspective is hard to achieve—but my research says it is worth the effort.
Remember the bad
Trials and suffering can actually refine and deepen gratefulness if we allow them to show us not to take things for granted. Our national holiday of gratitude, Thanksgiving, was born and grew out of hard times. The first Thanksgiving took place after nearly half the pilgrims died from a rough winter and year. It became a national holiday in 1863 in the middle of the Civil War and was moved to its current date in the 1930s following the Depression.
Why? Well, when times are good, people take prosperity for granted and begin to believe that they are invulnerable. In times of uncertainty, though, people realize how powerless they are to control their own destiny. If you begin to see that everything you have, everything you have counted on, may be taken away, it becomes much harder to take it for granted.
So crisis can make us more grateful—but research says gratitude also helps us cope with crisis. Consciously cultivating an attitude of gratitude builds up a sort of psychological immune system that can cushion us when we fall. There is scientific evidence that grateful people are more resilient to stress, whether minor everyday hassles or major personal upheavals. The contrast between suffering and redemption serves as the basis for one of my tips for practicing gratitude: remember the bad.
It works this way: Think of the worst times in your life, your sorrows, your losses, your sadness—and then remember that here you are, able to remember them, that you made it through the worst times of your life, you got through the trauma, you got through the trial, you endured the temptation, you survived the bad relationship, you’re making your way out of the dark. Remember the bad things, then look to see where you are now.
This process of remembering how difficult life used to be and how far we have come sets up an explicit contrast that is fertile ground for gratefulness. Our minds think in terms of counterfactuals—mental comparisons we make between the way things are and how things might have been different. Contrasting the present with negative times in the past can make us feel happier (or at least less unhappy) and enhance our overall sense of well-being. This opens the door to coping gratefully.
Try this little exercise. First, think about one of the unhappiest events you have experienced. How often do you find yourself thinking about this event today? Does the contrast with the present make you feel grateful and pleased? Do you realize your current life situation is not as bad as it could be? Try to realize and appreciate just how much better your life is now. The point is not to ignore or forget the past but to develop a fruitful frame of reference in the present from which to view experiences and events.
There’s another way to foster gratitude: confront your own mortality. In a recent study, researchers asked participants to imagine a scenario where they are trapped in a burning high rise, overcome by smoke, and killed. This resulted in a substantial increase in gratitude levels, as researchers discovered when they compared this group to two control conditions who were not compelled to imagine their own deaths.
In these ways, remembering the bad can help us to appreciate the good. As the German theologian and Lutheran pastor Dietrich Bonhoeffer once said, “Gratitude changes the pangs of memory into a tranquil joy.” We know that gratitude enhances happiness, but why? Gratitude maximizes happiness in multiple ways, and one reason is that it helps us reframe memories of unpleasant events in a way that decreases their unpleasant emotional impact. This implies that grateful coping entails looking for positive consequences of negative events. For example, grateful coping might involve seeing how a stressful event has shaped who we are today and has prompted us to reevaluate what is really important in life.
Reframing disaster
To say that gratitude is a helpful strategy to handle hurt feelings does not mean that we should try to ignore or deny suffering and pain.
The field of positive psychology has at times been criticized for failing to acknowledge the value of negative emotions. Barbara Held of Bowdoin College in Maine, for example, contends that positive psychology has been too negative about negativity and too positive about positivity. To deny that life has its share of disappointments, frustrations, losses, hurts, setbacks, and sadness would be unrealistic and untenable. Life is suffering. No amount of positive thinking exercises will change this truth.
So telling people simply to buck up, count their blessings, and remember how much they still have to be grateful for can certainly do much harm. Processing a life experience through a grateful lens does not mean denying negativity. It is not a form of superficial happiology. Instead, it means realizing the power you have to transform an obstacle into an opportunity. It means reframing a loss into a potential gain, recasting negativity into positive channels for gratitude.
A growing body of research has examined how grateful recasting works. In a study conducted at Eastern Washington University, participants were randomly assigned to one of three writing groups that would recall and report on an unpleasant open memory—a loss, a betrayal, victimization, or some other personally upsetting experience. The first group wrote for 20 minutes on issues that were irrelevant to their open memory. The second wrote about their experience pertaining to their open memory.
Researchers asked the third group to focus on the positive aspects of a difficult experience—and discover what about it might now make them feel grateful. Results showed that they demonstrated more closure and less unpleasant emotional impact than participants who just wrote about the experience without being prompted to see ways it might be redeemed with gratitude. Participants were never told not to think about the negative aspects of the experience or to deny or ignore the pain. Moreover, participants who found reasons to be grateful demonstrated fewer intrusive memories, such as wondering why it happened, whether it could have been prevented, or if they believed they caused it to happen. Thinking gratefully, this study showed, can help heal troubling memories and in a sense redeem them—a result echoed in many other studies.

Some years ago, I asked people with debilitating physical illnesses to compose a narrative concerning a time when they felt a deep sense of gratitude to someone or for something. I asked them to let themselves re-create that experience in their minds so that they could feel the emotions as if they had transported themselves back in time to the event itself. I also had them reflect on what they felt in that situation and how they expressed those feelings. In the face of progressive diseases, people often find life extremely challenging, painful, and frustrating. I wondered whether it would even be possible for them to find anything to be grateful about. For many of them, life revolved around visits to the pain clinic and pharmacy. I would not have been at all surprised if resentment overshadowed gratefulness.
As it turned out, most respondents had trouble settling on a specific instance—they simply had so much in their lives that they were grateful for. I was struck by the profound depth of feeling that they conveyed in their essays, and by the apparent life-transforming power of gratitude in many of their lives.
It was evident from reading these narrative accounts that (1) gratitude can be an overwhelmingly intense feeling, (2) gratitude for gifts that others easily overlook most can be the most powerful and frequent form of thankfulness, and (3) gratitude can be chosen in spite of one’s situation or circumstances. I was also struck by the redemptive twist that occurred in nearly half of these narratives: out of something bad (suffering, adversity, affliction) came something good (new life or new opportunities) for which the person felt profoundly grateful.
If you are troubled by an open memory or a past unpleasant experience, you might consider trying to reframe how you think about it using the language of thankfulness. The unpleasant experiences in our lives don’t have to be of the traumatic variety in order for us to gratefully benefit from them. Whether it is a large or small event, here are some additional questions to ask yourself:
What lessons did the experience teach me?
Can I find ways to be thankful for what happened to me now even though I was not at the time it happened?
What ability did the experience draw out of me that surprised me?
How am I now more the person I want to be because of it? Have my negative feelings about the experience limited or prevented my ability to feel gratitude in the time since it occurred?
Has the experience removed a personal obstacle that previously prevented me from feeling grateful?
Remember, your goal is not to relive the experience but rather to get a new perspective on it. Simply rehearsing an upsetting event makes us feel worse about it. That is why catharsis has rarely been effective. Emotional venting without accompanying insight does not produce change. No amount of writing about the event will help unless you are able to take a fresh, redemptive perspective on it. This is an advantage that grateful people have—and it is a skill that anyone can learn.
We are the Cosmic Council – messengers of divine love and guidance in these rapidly changing times.
We remain your family of light communication. Know that we have always been, are, and continue to remain constantly by your side as you go through so many many many planetary changes at this time. We are connected through a divine weave of communication – as we shall now begin to enlighten you from our perspective.
How We Communicate with You
By communication, we mean not only conversations such as this channeled message – from our species to your species through a human transducer. But also of the many whispers into your intelligence, and also of the rapidly increasing circulation of galactic light codes through new grid communication networks set up in recent years. These grids are now rapidly expanding their capacity to carry light codes from one “end” of the galaxy to another. These networks will expand exponentially in 2017 – as will your ability to download and act on these information carrying light codes.
These codes are carriers of the galactic data bank and have immense accumulated knowledge. The grids circulate these knowledge laden codes. It’s like a new branch of the cosmic library opened – and users have full circulation access of the whole galactic archives.
We also want to speak of galactic communication circuitry – of grids and light codes. We want to speak of how beings on your planet communicate in multi dimensions: Structures of communication, transfer of knowledge, and electromagnetic, wave, and other systems of passing information – of communicating souls to souls regardless of the dimensional separations interacting and re-structuring you in your 3D experience.
These structures encompass the simple miracle of how a field of grass or mob of trees communicates with itself, how humans communicate with plants, how species communicate among themselves, how human brains and DNA are expanding their ability to communicate within itself and with others, how light beings communicate with en-fleshed beings, how the galaxy is communicating with you and your planet. This list is for starters – and not at all inclusive.Today, we address some on the front burner of changes impacting your planet and solar system for 2017.
Beautiful and Mysterious Amazing 2017
As the next cycle of time unfolds its beauty and its mystery in the amazing year of 2017 and beyond, your human apparatus will continue to adapt to the increasing frequency of the various waves, light codes, rays and impulses arriving to your planet. Your receiving capacity continues to adapt and expand to receive and decode – and then act on – the information received through this ever increasingly accessible multi-dimensional communication network.
2017 Holds New Bundles of Surprises and Delights
The year 2017 holds a new bundle of surprises and delights for the connoisseuring humans among you: Those of you impassioned by the light, students of the divine mysteries, conveyors and transducers of the light.
Numerologically, 2016 has been a 9 year; one of completion. 2017 is a 10 year and a new giant 1 year – one of divine union, and beginning a new phase in the project of expanding consciousness which is unfolding in the realm of human-galactic partnership, co-creation, and evolution.
2017 heralds a new threshold for those of you consciously (or unconsciously through the purpose of your soul mission) who are bringers and anchors of divine light into your human-planetary mix.
Let us begin with the humble and essential grass.
How a Field of Grass Communicates
Do you remember several grass-themed songs such as “God Bless the Grass” and “Big Yellow Taxi” which reference the grass coming back – even through a little crack in the parking lot – the grass comes back?
“God bless the grass that grows thru the crack. They roll the concrete over it to try and keep it back. The concrete gets tired of what it has to do, It breaks and it buckles and the grass grows thru, And God bless the grass.”
Grass is an amazing everyday miracle – unfolding right before your very eyes. Grass is a fundamental transducer of photon light into a highly useable and plentiful support of organic life on your beloved earth. Grass grows everywhere. Regardless of your opinion of where you think it should grow – or not – grass continues to evermore transduce golden sunshine light into foodstuffs. Animals eat grass – and grow amazing and strong bodies.
The cycles of life are sustained by the ever present grass. The tiniest, tenderest, most fragile blade of grass breaks up the rocks and create soil supportive of other more tender life forms to take root.
Grass illustrates the “school of fish” method of communication. Did you ever watch in wonder those videos of hundreds and thousands of fish that all move in perfect unison? Schools of fish that in perfect synchronicity turn on a dime? Flocks of birds do likewise. Notice those flocks that fly through the air and turn in perfect synchronicity?
The humble and strong grass does likewise. Look at an unassuming mowed and manicured lawn. If you put some chemical or fertilizer anywhere on the big lawn, the rest of the lawn knows immediately what you have done. The brilliant communication structure of the roots of the grass system act as a bundle of nerves – we might say the “brain” – of the grass.
If you start to mow the grass, the entire field immediately activates the message to grow!
Immediately, the nervous root system of the grass sends light impulses throughout itself alerting the entire structure of the grassy yard or field that a change has occurred. And immediately, the whole field of the grass makes changes to adapt to this recent change.
If fertilizer is applied, the whole root system sends notice in the form of a field of light transmissions – appearing somewhat like a sheet of lightning flash – that a life-enhancing event has just occurred – so it is timely to convert energy to grow bigger and stronger.
If “weed control” is applied, the whole root system sends an emergency notice to take corrective life-preserving steps to its entire body in one flash of light. Hence the biology of the grass must make emergency action to create some new biochemical and other processes to adapt to the new element – to bypass it, and grow even stronger and bigger. This communication is a light flash event lighting up the entire field of grass. Hence you have the arrival on your planet of the “super weeds” – plants that have adapted to, communicate the need to adapt, and created new mechanisms of growth and sustenance for themselves as a species – out vibrating other forces that would decimate them – and surviving to new levels of tenacity.
Life is like that – ever adapting, ever changing, ever strategizing. Growing, experimenting, solving puzzles.
Energetic Field “Brains”
Similarly, there is an energetic “brain” that governs, guides and regulates the movement of schools of fish, flocks of birds, and mobs of humans. This brain includes a field of electromagnetic pulsations, rays, geometric light codes, and waves. This field is stirred by rays. Rays are created by mental activity. As you say, thoughts become things. Intention creates reality. This instantaneous communication occurs throughout the “brains” of the grass – its root system structure. The root structure is a highly efficient transducer of multi-dimensions of energy input: Intentions, the elements, new solutions. Clairvoyants and shamans can watch the light quickening of the plants systems when a new message is coming through. Rapid emergency survival messages can be seen as flashes of light – similar to the flashes of lightning during a storm – except the whole field flashes in one rapid communicating sheet of light. This light may be of various frequencies – ie colors – as needed for a transformative shift.
Non-emergency messages can be seen as a gentle glowing throughout the field of the grass.
Sometimes the light is in the root structure of the field of grass. Sometimes, the light infusion comes from extraneous sources. More of this below.
Note that these processes are 2 – way: There is a sending of new vibration. And there is an ACCEPTING of these new vibrations by the grass.
The movie Avatar brilliantly illustrated how the field of roots communicates multi-dimensionally. You remember that scene where everyone was sitting in group communication with the light impulses emanating from the Mother Tree of Life. Everyone was plugged into the circuitry for instantaneous group energetic communication.
How Humans and Plants Communicate
Light intelligences communicate with herbal and healing plants on your planet by encasing and infusing certain plants with fields of various frequency lights and vibrations – bathing the plants in these lights to install certain frequencies that can be used by shamans, healers and medical researchers, to make vibratory adjustments and healings in human and animal bodies. These transduced fields of energy frequencies are installed with intention from the higher sources of light available to your planet. This communication is truly mind over matter – as intention directly influences the vibratory capacity of the plant to infuse another structure with its vibration. The plant then becomes a carrier of intention. This intention is carried by multidimensional geometrical living entities of light – known as light codes. Or as we could say, light shapes – modulators of frequency for specific intended purposes.
Shamans in traditional societies, and observant humans everywhere can learn to see, feel and intuit the healing light fields of plants, absorb these unique and specific fields into their hands, hearts and minds and transfer these healing vibrations to those they serve with their healing gifts of light and frequency.
Herbalists capture these vibratory patterns into tinctures, ointments, and various preparations that convey the light shapes (or light codes) from one medium to another – say from a plant to a human. In this instance, the plants are transducers of light codes into human structures.
Many shamans are plant whisperers – and listen as the plant spirit explains how these processes are done.
Certain light beings are charged with installing healing lights into certain plants on your planet. The moon, stars and sun also impart certain vibratory frequencies and rays into certain plants. Plant healers can shift the DNA of plants that are ill or infected and instruct the plants to create new biochemical survival processes.
Thus plant shamans, healers, herbalists and sensitives are conversant with the times, days and methods of capturing the various plant frequencies into products amenable to helping human, animal and earth “problems”.
Mega healer John of God channels spirit entities that also install specific and unique healing frequencies into herbs that are tailor-designed for each human recipient. In other words, these herbs work as inter-dimensional transducers and transferers of energy from other dimensions into the human realms of body processes. The whole process is driven by intention. Intention works through transmitting of light codes.
There are multitudinous methods used by multitudinous beings to provide healing and sustaining transducing means of light onto your planet. There are multitudinous ways for these beings and plant spirits to whisper to receptive human minds just how to harvest and utilize these encased gifts of light. Spirit medicine practitioners are found in all cultures.
There! More mysteries solved for your ever curious and inquiring human minds!
What Are Galactic Light Codes?
Galactic light codes are very compact “zip files” of massive amounts of stored galactic knowledge. They are stored in multi-dimensional geometrical shapes created by intentional design. Humanity is now in the process of receiving these bundled files, unzipping and downloading the transformative blueprints into their DNA to create amazing unprecedented transformation of your biology, human layers, and your planet.
The connection of the galactic, Lemurian and crystalline grids was initiated in 2013 at Lake Titicaca, Peru to permit new circulation of galactic data knowledge bases – ie galactic light codes – into the human matrix of development possibilities. As humanity increases its capacity to receive – and transmit in pure light – the grids expand to carry more traffic.
The grids are plasmic in nature – and can expand and compress with demand. This process is a 2-way street of development. 2017 will show exponential capacity of both these components in the galactic communication exchange of knowledge. In other words, knowledge is flying around the galaxy at the speed of thought on the newly configured communication grid networks.

https://LightCodesOfLakeTiticaca.blogspot.com/ Remember you 3-D embodied human beings are on the forefront of gathering knowledge and experiences of flesh-in-body in a material matrix. Your experiences are being encoded and transmitted through the galactic grid system to bring your data research collection (what you call living) to beings all through the galaxy.
So please do not discount the importance of even the simplest of actions, thoughts, emotions, intentions you experience – even the most “humble” of human lives are collecting data on the experience of life. Through the grids, this knowledge is shared galaxy wide with beings from many dimensions.
What’s New in this Process for 2017?
Thus we hope you can see as the impulses, rays, waves, light codes, etc. that are increasingly entering your planetary field and circuitry increase in their frequency and capacity, all life and systems on your planet are receiving this information and adapting rapidly. Some of these changes are emergency adaptations to forces that could be destructive. Others of these changes are evolutionary spirals of increasing frequency as higher frequency and new codes of information become available. Your systems and structures – individually and collectively – are adapting to receive, transduce, and act on this new encoded information. Your earth is on a trajectory of ever-increasing knowledge of how increasing vibration can hold in physical form.
As is often said: You are becoming galactic humans – consciously. For indeed – you are and have been galactic humans for quite some time. You just had your light switch dimmed down. Now your light is getting dialed higher.
Hence you see an explosion of new thought, new inventions, new patterns of social interaction on your planet. Those wishing to hold onto old patterns are fighting against a galactic tidal wave of new energies – so their success in holding old patterns is doomed. We hope you choose to recognize these events as an amazing and unique opportunity to restructure life as you have known it on your planet for the highest good of all.
As the light force embodied in human form that you are, you are on the forefront of creating and anchoring these new patterns. We remind you we are “human whisperers” – and gladly pass on the knowledge of what we have learned in other planets, other systems, other worlds – to assist you, our brave human relatives – in carving out a higher frequency civilization on a planet that is rapidly increasing its vibration.
Hence we wish to partner with you as the energetic “brains” of this planet – transferring our knowledge, our skills, our consciousness to your planetary neural network. As we receive your data transmissions (your experiences) through the grid circuitry, we co-adapt what we do in our partnership with you, Family! Always, for the highest good of all.
The movie Avatar brilliantly and artistically portrays how light codes (seeds) can transform consciousness through interactions. Clips are available on youtube of “The Tree of Light”, the “Tree of Light Memories”, and “Seeds”.
DNA-GALACTIC Communication
On this front, your refined etheric (and physical) DNA is also adapting regularly to all the new sources of information flowing onto your planet.
Your DNA is porous cell-wall methodology to allow light codes (galactic seeds) that are entering your planetary matrix to enter the cellular realm, and deliver their payloads of higher frequency operating instructions and methods – and to interact with the multidimensional functions of manifestations your DNA governs.
DNA is a 2 way communication system. It receives higher intelligence information and instructions. It also imparts on-the-ground – (in-the-cell) – feedback to the communication network of human-galactic – and soon cosmic – information sharing.
Some esoteric scientists are currently investigating and documenting how various waveforms and other methodologies are allowing the nitty-gritty of this communication with DNA to happen.
For our purposes today, we note that this communication IS happening. Hence your cellular awareness and intelligence can make immediate responses to both enhancing as well as destructive forces with which it interfaces.
Your biology is not structured in stone. Your biology is living, breathing, adapting light patterns that are part of and influenced by a “planetary brain” of awareness. So just as the grass adapts and immediately begins to increase its growth rate when danger comes near, so the body of humanity immediately begins to adapt when either destructive or expansionary forces come near.
How amazing are your human bodies – governed by the light of divine intelligence. They can perceive any life threatening or altering energy – whether in the form of chemicals, rays, etc, your humanity-body begins to adapt, evolve, transmute and transform.
How to Consciously Work with the Light Codes in 2017 and Beyond
We remind you that the above process is influenced greatly by your human processes. You have the amazing power – greater than nuclear power – of allowing your system to receive new information and energies and to grow and thrive – or to shut down the new energy and information and be affected negatively by events in your web of ”news” communication and other forces currently circulating on your earth planet.
MUCH has been written on the mind-body-spirit connections – so we will leave it as that for now.
2017: Culminating Old – and Beginning New – Cycles
2017 is a culmination year, a year of finishing various processes that have been underway in various past years and cycles.
2017 is the beginning of fresh cycles of humanity coming to understand more and more how much innate power you have to control your destinies – collectively as well as individually.
2017 is a year when you will up the ante on your conscious partnership with your galactic family.
Amazing fun ahead – for all parties!
The Internet – Mirror of Galactic Grids
The vast planetary communication system created over the past few decades – your internet – allows the spread of information almost instantaneously. Old programs are deleted. New operating systems evolve. All data is archived somewhere (ie akashic records). New apps evolve. New programs are constantly created. New technologies drive changes. More and more people are getting connected. New technologies speed everyone to communicate.
As higher frequency information circulates more broadly, changes accelerate. Lower frequency thoughts wake up dormant lower frequency vibrations – showing in words, and actions of lower frequency. “News” headlines are FULL of these low-frequency stuck communication loops.
Isn’t this an exciting time to read the news! We listen to the conversations among humans and see it as a “stirring of the pot”. As the destructive emotions and thoughts bubble to the top of the pot, they can be skimmed off – and the energy they contain can be transmuted to higher purposes.
The ancient Indian epic, the Ramayana, tells of the churning of the great ocean of consciousness. All rises to the surface from the unfathomable depths. Each person has the choice to align and vibrate with the energies of their choice.
Truly, everyone on your planet has endless opportunities now for life-changing transformation on a scale never before available to humankind. This process is one reason the galaxy is fixated and fascinated by the amazing changes taking place on your little planet in space. This process is one reason souls are scurrying from all over the galaxy to incarnate on planet earth and get a front-row seat in this amazing transformative multi-dimensional journey. A journey that only be fully appreciated by being in human embodiment.
The planetary communication system revealed in internet comments – show how the various frequency forces are interacting with each other. This broad spectrum global internet conversation is enlivening, as the full range of human emotions and mental processes becomes readily available for observation. The emotional bodies of humans are getting a thorough workout. And they are getting feedback as to the functionality of their emotions in terms of human survival and human enhancements and quality of living.
All of these processes are driving transformation. No need to feel dismayed at some of the lower frequency communications; the current incoming programs and codes have the capacity to transmute all energies back into pure light – the ground of creating new realities of a higher vibration. Think of the internet forums and comment sections as a place to compost all kinds of old garbage into fertilizer for a new world!
This is a bloody and raw process; it cannot be otherwise – for this is a necessary step to scourge the depths of the human species psyche – to keep raising the bar on the human vibratory frequency – by emptying out the pot of old shit, composting and regrowing with beautiful fragrant flowers.
The Victory of Light is Now Assured
Do not be dismayed when you read and hear these low vibratory displays of energy. Know they are expunging poison from the body-brain-intelligence of humanity.
There is too much light energy and new frequencies pouring through the planetary structures and into your into your DNA now. The tide cannot be turned back. You lightworkers have guided the planet through the minefields and into the clear. The victory is light is now assured.
Dear Ones. You are to be congratulated! You all have a light medal of gold glowing in the heart of your soul – a badge of honor and recognition you will carry with you through all of eternity yet to unfold as you are the in the forefront of driving the light quotient higher on planet earth.
Don’t confuse the struggles of the battlefield with the glorious outcome of the victories of spirit.
You have all – collectively – consciously and unconsciously – brought in this great shift in consciousness onto your planet. This shift is underway. Like human birth, it is a bloody and sometimes painful process. But the birth of the new human is underway – and the positive joyful delivery is certain.
So continue, Dear Humans, with the pangs of the birth process. You are not alone. We act here as your labor coaches, guides and doulas – supporting you, encouraging you, enlightening your every step of the way. Step by step by step… big and tiny… step by step by step. This is a journey we have done – and know the way. We share our cosmic knowledge with you now.
You are galactic pioneers of exploration, discovery, and transformation! Call Us!
We remind you we are a thought away. When your pangs seem intense, just call out our names and we lend you our light and frequency to support your birthing process. Pangs do not mean you are failing. Pangs mean the end is in sight!
If you can’t remember or don’t know our names, no matter. A short form of calling for us is: GOD – Help! We will get the summons and be on it!
Eternal blessings to our wonderful earth family. We love, admire, and respect you – with no end in sight – ever.
Excelsior!

There is no reason to be in fear. Fear is of the illusion, unreal, a reaction to uncertainty which just drains your energy, because it focuses on the future, distracting you from living in this now moment which is the only time that exists. Now is where you need to focus your attention and your feelings, and through doing that be fully aware of your state of presence right now. Intend to maintain this constant state of present awareness so that you are fully alive and alert, and then you are open to the intuitive nudges, the wise guidance from those watching over you from the spiritual realms.
You are constantly being watched over by those who would assist you immediately if you call on them. You are never alone or unsupported, but you do need to pay attention in order to access what is offered. Frequently you have strong expectations of what your guidance should offer you, and so you often miss what is actually being offered. Relax, allow, receive, and enjoy the guidance that then arises, miraculously!
Knowing, as in truth you do in every moment, that you are divinely supported and never alone, then relax into Life, into Love, and allow the Reality of that to guide you in every moment. Always engage lovingly with others, all others! There are no exceptions to this if you wish to heal yourselves. Love expands, embraces, supports, and encourages, increasing your energy and your vitality; whereas fear discourages, disempowers, drains, and weakens. Love responds with Love. Fear responds with fear. Remind yourselves frequently that you are Love, open yourselves to allow It to enter within you. Love is like a vast flowing river that envelops and embraces you in every moment if you will permit. If you shut It out it is as though you were in the river but covered completely by a dry suit, completely protected or shut off from Its warm embrace.
Love is all about allowing. You need do nothing else because Its purpose and intent is to totally suffuse and renew your energy field in every moment if you will allow It to do so. When you do peace and contentment will fill and uplift you. Do not focus anxiously on the conflicts and suffering you see in the world around you while wondering what you could or should be doing to help relieve them, by all means intend to send your love to those who are suffering, but focus instead on the Love that you are as a divine creation. By doing this the world ischanged, and that is what you incarnated to do. Where you focus your attention, whatever thoughts you hold – positive or negative – bring into your life those points of focus.
It is very difficult for you not to become distracted by the chaos and confusion with which the illusion constantly bombards you, however, you knew that this would happen before you made the choice to incarnate for this particular lifetime. So, go within at least once daily to make contact with the divine flame burning constantly within you, It is the flame of divine Love from which you were created and from which you can NEVER be separated.
You are already saved, there is nothing you need or can do to make yourselves more acceptable to God. God created you already perfect, from Love, from the energy field that is All That Is, and to which you are eternally connected. You are all God’s beloved children, and there is nothing that you can ever do that can or will change that. Sin, however grave and unforgivable it may appear to you to be, is of the illusion, it is unreal even though it brings intense pain and suffering to many who are incarnate as humans. However, your true and eternal existence at One with each other and with your divine Source is unchanging.
Initially you constructed or built the illusion to play games and experience separation because in Reality separation is impossible, and it was only by imagining and building the illusion that you could in any way sense what separation would be like. Now you have had enough of the intense pain and suffering that it brings you and you desire only to awaken from the nightmare that you built. All around you are signs that people, humanity, are waking up. When the conditions of life in the illusion become intolerable you choose to awaken, and that time has come. The power of your awakening energy fields, your unbreakable connection to Source, is intensifying simply because that is what it does, and purely in order to assist in your awakening process. Being divine your real wills are completely in alignment with God’s, and so your awakening is divinely assured and inevitable. You can continue to delay it, but it makes absolutely no sense to do so, after all why would you continue to experience intense pain and suffering when there is no requirement to do so?
It seems that many are addicted to pain and suffering, it has, in fact, become so normal that without it they feel incomplete, that something important in their lives is missing. God’s Power and God’s Love resides in each of you. You need seek no gurus, no priests, no pastors, no intermediaries of any kind because each one of you has her or his own unbreakable connection to God which, if you will allow it or listen to it, will lead you home. Others may be able to help you find your path, but only you can identify it through your own inner knowing, and then choose to follow it home.
That you are eternally and inseparably One with God is reason to celebrate. To celebrate is healthy, uplifting, inspiring, and fun. It intensifies your energy fields so that they expand out into the world, melding with others who are also celebrating, and raising the whole planetary frequency so that humanity’s awareness of its true nature arises to the surface of its consciousness thus making it impossible to deny it any longer.
Denial of your divine nature has been an enormous obstruction on your path to awakening. You have, over the eons since the separation game commenced, been very confused about life and its purpose because of the amnesia that is a powerful aspect of it. Consequently you have been seeking but unable to find a convincing answer to the question: “What, if there is one, is the purpose of life?” Many myths arose with stories of gods and goddesses, demons and witches, magicians and sorcerers, but none of them offered any meaningful help or consolation because they all demanded your allegiance to someone or something outside yourself.
God is within you, period. It is within yourselves, and only there, that you can and will find your unbreakable connection to God, Source, the Creator who so lovingly brought you into existence to enjoy the infinitely abundant fullness of life forever in His Presence. When you chose to experience separation from your divine Source it was essential that you also chose to remove all memory of It from your conscious awareness otherwise you would have been unable to experience the sense of separation that you wanted.
Always the choice to go within and find God has been available to you, but the distractions of the world outside yourselves, the unreal world, have seduced you for eons with their siren songs that lead only to unmitigated disappointment. Now, finally, you have made the collective to choice to dissociate yourselves from the distractions of the illusion and return to awareness of your true nature at One with God. Your eternal Home the Home you have never left, is within you and always has been, It waits patiently and lovingly for you to remember and awaken, and that is what humanity is collectively in the process of doing right now.
The choice to awaken was made eons ago, at the moment when the apparent separation occurred, but the decision to follow through on that choice was made only in the last few decades. All around you signs of this inevitable decision abound, so take heart and know that you are waking up from the nightmare into full awareness of your Oneness with Source, and that your joy and delight will be unbounded.

“Greetings, most Beloved Family! I am here, together with the Company of Light, to thank you in a most profound and loving way for being the Lights of Love You Are. I tell you Truth – the World would be a much more dim place, were it not for you and the blessings you bestow with your loving radiance, with your LoveLights! Indeed, you are among the Lightworkers, the true Lightworkers whose Hearts are pure, and who recognize the goodness within yourselves. And who have the Courage – so that if your vibrations slip a bit – you have the Courage to face yourselves, and most importantly to forgive yourselves and to bring yourselves back up so that you are inspiration to all, because the World can feel these energies that you put forth!
“And in this, Beloved Ones, you are true disciples!!! You learn, and you teach simultaneously. And that is what being a true disciple is. It comes from a word from a language that was quite prevalent. It was a language of Atlantis forwarded into Rome, called Latin. It comes from the word – the root words are ‘disco, discere’ – to teach, to learn. And you are all shining, shining bright stars in this. And so, I stand before you, to thank you for being Who You Truly Are, for letting the Truth of You shine forth!
“You are all individual identities, and you are in human bodies. So do not expect perfection of yourselves in the third dimensional sense. Because the Truth is that you are perfect!!! You are the perfect divine children of Mother/Father God. And when you know this, when you look into the mirror and you see your Divinity shining forth, then you stand with all who are either in Light bodies, or in bodies such as yourselves. But your Lights of Love are One!!! And you are united in the Oneness with the totality of Who You Are, which is LoveLight. That is your Truth; that is Who You Really Are!
“Whatever human – or other identities you may be wearing now, or in what you call your past, or in your future – remember this! Your essence is Light – the Light of Love from which we are all made. And that is the greatest Truth of all! Love is the most powerful energy in the Universe – the kind of Love that results in Peace, and Joy, and Freedom, no matter what your circumstances are. And when you are in the realization of this, you join with all of the Lightworkers of Planet Earth and beyond, in bringing this reality into your lifestyles. And what I am meaning by this is that you raise the vibrations!!!
“When you come together in this, you raise the vibrations of Planet Earth sufficiently to bring yourselves up into Higher levels of dimensionality, where only Love exists; where there is Paradise awaiting each and every one of you; where there is the Freedom to be in Joy, to be in Bliss always; to follow whatever your Hearts have passion for you to do, and yes, to join with your starseed brothers and sisters – to renew acquaintances, and to meet some you have not met before in your consciousness.
“But to recognize the Oneness in all life, it is to be in constant connection, communication, and Communion with all beings of all of Mother Gaia’s Kingdoms!!! It is to master telepathic communications which go directly from Heart to Heart and from your Higher Dimensional Selves. It is to know that you are never alone, and to feel the Joy of being in the Oneness with all beings of LoveLight!
“I thank you, Beloved Ones, for being here to take this journey with me into these Higher Realms. And I ask you to stay the course, to continue being yourselves, to continue to know the Truth of Who You Really Are, and to honor your own Divinity and then to recognize the Divinity in all life, and to likewise honor this. I know – I can tell you from my lifetime as Jeshua – I know it is not easy to keep shining your LoveLights in the face of adversities, in the face of ridicule, condemnation, and hurt. We’ve all been there. You know what it is like. Get past it, rise above it! Say
‘Ho’oponopono,’ and move on, because our destination is as I have described to you, and others whose messages you listen to. Feel the Truth of it, and know that there is nothing that can slow you down, or stop you, or in any way deter you from the course that you have set for yourselves!
“What Humanity is calling forth in 3D – rise above, come into the Higher Realms and be the Beacons, lighting the way for others as teachers and learners at the same time, sharing your wisdoms, and most of all your Love! And at the same time follow your own course, Higher and Higher. And open – open to connect with the totality of yourselves to further define your own course – each and every one of you, so that you know for sure where you are going! Let yourselves know yourselves. Learn from yourselves, forgive whatever there might be to forgive, and let go of whatever is not true within your beings. And you will be beautiful Guides into the Higher Realms for all who are inspired, who feel your Lights!
“And so I thank you, most Beloved Ones, and I offer you the very Special Blessings of this Holy Season, and I invite you to share your Lights with each other, and to keep the feelings, the energies of this moment, where we stand together in our Circle of Love – and where we share with each other the Love We Are. For that, Beloved Ones, is why we are here. And then let us go forth into the World to serve, to lead, and to be One with the eternal and infinite Lights of Love. And so it is. Namaste!”
2015 was the year of my spiritual journey when I learned how to surrender my ego, to let go and let God. Through the suffering I caused myself in moving to my dad’s house and putting myself DEEP out of my comfort zone into really uncomfortable territory, I underwent a metamorphosis of awakening to my true consciousness out of the illusion of unconsciousness. I am now well aware of the ego aspect of myself and am able to observe and recognize when it is activated. Surrender is an ongoing practice; I recently just experienced another opportunity to let go of a belief I was attached to through my car breaking down. Surrender allows us to open to the flow of life and it can be such a joyful feeling to let the universe take over and not have to do everything yourself.
Maria’s words resonate with me very well and so I am inclined to share this post in the hope that you too may learn to experience the freedom of spiritual surrender in your mind.
~~~~~~~~~
Spiritual Surrender means to let go of everything, but we can’t do it by will.
It’s not about using will power but to let go of will power, because that’s the only thing that keeps you in bondage, the belief that you somehow can control life.
Spiritual surrender is not about “giving up” while throwing your hands up in the air with frustration just because you don’t get what you want – fast enough. That’s the ego’s game.
Spiritual surrender means to surrender to Life – oftentimes through utter defeat – when everything else has failed and you are on your wit’s end, not in an aggravated way, but with you being on your knees, crying your heart out, surrendering to a greater power, which you soon find out is your True Self.
It’s about letting go of the false self, but because most people take their false self to be their real self, this process can take years and years before it’s final.
We surrender more deeply for every time, and every time is sincere but also immature at first.
In the beginning, when we aren’t really sure of what surrender means, we think it’s about making a wish-list for the Santa for the grown-ups which is the law of attraction with all it’s vision-boards and so on, and then when we have handed over our little wishes and goals to the Almighty Genie, we sit back and wait for things to come to us; aka ‘letting go of the outcome’.
We let go of our wishes, we wait with great expectations (just like kids at Christmas) and we take action with the attitude of “surrendering the outcome to the universe” (with a “go after what you want”-mentality; another one of the egos game, who always stresses us to grasp and strive) but that’s not surrendering at all!
Spiritual surrender means letting go of EVERYTHING – yourself included.
(NOTE: It’s NOT about becoming lazy! I will address this subject in another post so stay tuned).
That’s often times the final let go; the letting go of all the ideas you have about yourself, and all the things you want yourself to be and become.
You know that whatever is meant to stay, will stay, regardless of what your opinions are about it, so you relax into that – into trusting that life knows how to express itself without your help.
The purpose of life is this moment – are you letting Life express itself fully as you, or are you trying to control it by imposing your little plans and desires on it?
This is what life is now – and no one knows what tomorrow brings – that’s freedom and liberation!
This is what life is – right now. This is how life expresses itself through me – right now. How it will express itself tomorrow I have no clue about. All I really know is Right Now.
All your expectations of life will fall away also, and this is not something that is done by will power – that would be like trying to manipulate life.
The ego thinks that surrender means to surrender with an agenda (“If I surrender this I will receive that”), but that’s not how life works.
To let go thinking you will get something is to manipulate – it’s not sincere.
True surrender really means to let your mind be emptied from all concepts and beliefs, not to “create better feeling beliefs” but to let go of them all. It will happen when you come to the point where you sincerely ask God to take over because you know there’s nothing else you can do.
Spiritual Surrender means complete surrender and letting go.
It means total empty-handedness. (Which include empty-mindedness; you are realizing that You are beyond mind).
The mind gets quiet and cleaned out, and with time you will discover and experience for yourself how the mind tries to make sense of the silence because it’s so used to be active all the time.
Just to make an example; you will find that it fails to find the words to use to gossip, and you can watch it happen with amusement, with an attitude of ‘that’s interesting’, but you don’t get attached to the interest of what’s happening (you kind of stand outside watching it all), and you drop that too.
It’s like being totally relaxed into being and Life – and being totally and utterly OK with whatever is and comes, because you know without a doubt that this moment is your whole life and this moment is the purpose of your life too, so there’s nothing to figure out anymore.
There is no longer a past or future or the need to make plans. Except for practical reasons obviously; it’s great to know when the next train goes and so on, but the personal will is no longer what runs your life. (It never was to begin with).
There’s a sense of not caring anymore. Not in a “I don’t give a shit”-attitude/way, but in a very relaxed and peaceful way – as a matter of simply stating a fact.
Nothing seems to be important and significant that once was.You know that everything is exactly as it’s suppose to be and nothing is wrong. You feel lived, not as if you ‘have a life’, but that you are Life.
This moment becomes so precious that nothing of the old is significant or important in any way.
This is how it feels to really love life. This moment is perfect and unspeakably beautiful. (I’m even all emotional now, can’t find the words that can explain the beauty of this moment).
Surrender means to let go of everything you thought yourself to be and what you believed life was about, and let Life itself live and express itself through you, as you.
