We spend our childhoods writing our dreams in diaries. As adults, those dreams quietly come true every single day … only sometimes we forget to notice, until it’s too late. So, slow down … and take it in. Let yourself feel it. Because sometimes, even the most beautiful dreams disappear when the sun comes up.
New opportunities open us up to greater possibilities. New information and a new perspective can permanently shift our consciousness … and the way we see the world will never be the same.
All day, every day, we fight against the current. Sometimes, we lose. Sometimes, we win. Sometimes, the current carries us exactly where we need to go … and sometimes, it slams us right into the rocks.
We define ourselves by our actions. But, it doesn’t mean we have to live by that definition. We can change our own story. We can refuse to accept the way people define us. We can work like hell to escape a bad reputation … only to wonder if we succeeded. It can be hard to shake the mistakes of the past. They’ll always come back to haunt us. But, one thing we never do: we don’t stop. We don’t quit. We get up and rejoin the fight.

My personal collection of stones! I have many smaller palm stones as well, but I typically keep them scattered and in different places depending on how I’m feeling.
So you’re giving into the hype and you want to know what this whole crystal thing is all about. I don’t blame you! They make for beautiful decor and they’re something tangible that you can refer to for specific feelings, ailments, or imbalances. Don’t let people make you think that crystals are for witches or people who worship satan…. because those things have absolutely nothing to do with crystals in the slightest. People of all religions, beliefs, and ages can use crystals in their every day lives.

You have forgotten you, but are continuing to remember.
Your LightBody gives you access to you in your truest and purest form. The human mind “learns” and the soul REMEMBERS as an energetic body of consciousness. These too are in direction opposition to each other, yet have a nexus point where infinity meets in the middle. When one can truly see all separation within, they will have remembered that they have never been separate at all.
The human mind creates separation within self, from self and transmitting to an outward reality viewed as the physical manifestation in the materialization of all things and others.
“Remembering” is a state of BEing as one’s own energy self. It is a state of consciousness. It is felt as one transcends the physical reality/bodies and exists as ONE unified body of consciousness. It takes one to the moment of creation or even before.
To actually MERGE into a body of consciousness as nothing but just an energy, “leave” your physical body & observe all of humanity from the point of “before creation” is a mind-blowing event that one attempts to comprehend, but cannot even fathom with a logical mind. In a way, there is no reason to speak of it, while also understanding the importance to share.
Everything and nothing exists all in one moment. The vastness & the simplicity almost contradict each other in a place where there is no contradiction. And describing with words that where words don’t exist, well.
To exist as a “dot”, to expand in & out to see all as nothing or all as one, to observe the gridwork of humanity, of separation, to feel the love of all as one being, brings tears to my eyes as the very thought of what has been created here to “live” out in the physical.
Emotions are all over the place, in the most amazing way. One moment is playful, while the next is serene and silent. All moments are in love, observance & service even more now, for the “reality of this” continues to expand in every moment. New realizations of what we all are here to do changes with new understandings of remembering continuing to come through.
This is a place of appreciation, humility, honor and trust. It is one of purpose that transcends all human limiting thoughts and beliefs. This is a place that is achieved through honor & integrity that one builds from within.
Do we still exist here in human form? Yes we do.
Do we trip & fall? Yes we do.
Do we judge it? No.
Do we serve humanity more than ever before. Indeed.
Do we see things as we did in the physical? Never again.
Each new integration “period” starts with a glimpse of what one is integrating into. It provides for one to keep one moving forward to “achieve” that which they have “unlocked” of their previous, earlier & higher existence. For those who’s hearts are opening and awakening, this will be a continual journey within to seek that which you have yet to understand. This is a visual reality of geometry shapes, spirals, hearing what cannot be heard and, feeling with our entire being and transmitting out to assist all others as the brilliant & bright energy that we all are here, as one.
When all realities have merged at the highest vibrational frequency, all bodies of consciousness then unify as one.
This IS your LightBody. Embrace it, as the reality of it is now in your own remembering and ability to continue to release.
