Signs of Hallucinatory Internal Thoughts
Much of the writing shared here comes from me showing up each day to write what needs to be written. I’m not sure where it comes from some days but it always feels good to share so here are today’s words of loving kindness.
Have you ever heard or read the phrase, “Your thoughts create your reality”? Well, what if I were to tell you that your thoughts DO NO create your reality? That belief or trendy philosophy could be completely false and the cause of much struggle and suffering. Thoughts shift only perception of existence.
See, there is a reason why nothing seems to be working the way people want it to work out sometimes.
You are capable and worthy of a kind and gentle existence. Therefore here come words of assistance if you choose to receive them.
Move low vibration to high vibration and that which feels peaceful and good just like one would do with the ho’oponopono prayer. When you move from low vibration to high vibration you align with source. And the source is YOU for you are one with the universe. This concept is truth. Always has been and always will be (for now anyway 🙂
Low vibration: thoughts = reality
High vibration: present = kindness
When you are stuck in a rut, you reside in a paradigm where thoughts create reality. You are not free or aligned. Trauma then dictates. But when you, as the light being that you are, has your illumination sparked and fueled then the traumatic even either never happens or is immediately forgiven or it is reflected back upon the source from which it came and is recycled into a high vibration. And, since you are the source, it is you that recycles the situation into a high vibration. This happens so quickly that you don’t even know it is happening.
This is called magical resonance.
Embrace magical resonance and automatically there is no need to constantly chant or meditate or fix or mourn or try so hard. Magical resonance releases you from creating altars and grids. Everything and everyone is already an altar and a crystal grid. That is a knowing and a recall, available to you. You are your own source. This is magical resonance.
Know it. Recall it. Fly. Be. Breathe. And so it is.
One more message re: misinterpretations.
Misinterpretations are of the mind. Go with feelings or muscle testing for truth. Go not with “signs” for the mind interprets signs to benefit the support of untruths. Much like fearful research is designed to support a theory. True research goes for disproving the theory. But some, if created in fear will only support the fear and the cycle then spirals into a low vibration. If you are in alignment with source, there would not be a need for research. Just think of all the wonderful creativity and light this brings forth in you and around you!
Thank you. I love you.

A journey to peace. Illumination despite a hostile environment.
In the Illumination Process post, I discussed the stages of illumination. Today’s guidance reveals several other factors effecting the stages and what we can do to help the process in a positive way.
Many are born fully illuminated. They are our greatest teachers. But most go through the illumination process in their own way. Each unique and perfect.
Knowing there are options to know peace, acceptance, gratitude, forgiveness, love and joy is a journey worthy of all.
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
Pre-illumination Stage:
We start with a simple diagram of an energy being. Much like a glow stick in a package. The 7 energy centers aligned, doing their thing to help us go about the business of daily life. A protective shell, also called the ego, surrounds the energy centers of the energy being. Around the shell is the soul space. The new energy centers waiting in the soul space ready for illumination.
External negative forces include anything and anyone with negative energy. External positive forces include anything and anyone with positive energy.
••••••••••••••••••••••
Ignition Stage:
In a simple scenario where life is calm and ideal, an external negative force breaks through the soul space and snaps the protective shell. The heart center reacts by releasing from the protective shell.
••••••••••••••••••••••••••
Sensitive Response to Negative Forces:
The above scenario would be ideal. But ,of course, rarely a reality. So, here is an example of what happens when a sensitive energy being comes into the world. There are two different scenarios:
- This sensitive being has a regular protective shell but because of their sensitive nature, they can withstand less negative force
- Extremely hostile external environment surrounds the soul space
In both cases, if the heart releases, it senses the hostile environment and retreats back into the protective shell. The energy being then adds a layer to the protective shell.
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
Sensitive Response Advanced Stage:
The energy centers within start to dim and shrink with an advanced response to negative forces. There are two different scenarios here as well:
- The environment remains hostile
- or the energy being interprets the environment as hostile by reviewing negative memories over and over, the shell thickens more.
At this stage the energy being is susceptible to disease, accidents and violence. The negative emotions of anger, denial, remorse, guilt, instability, lack, grief, unworthiness, confusion and others become common. The negative emotions create a state of constant fight or flight. Survival. Creating enough energy within to survive.
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
Internal Decision to Change:
The internal decision to change is prompted by an event that triggers a memory. This emotional trigger is very, very strong. Strong enough for change to happen from within.
Often times the trigger acts as a recall of the original negative force – such as a childhood memory, ancestral ties, social event or other original source.
The positive outlook and hope for change becomes strong enough to override the adrenaline of the negative emotions. Gratitude.
This decision to change acts to thin the protective shell, attracts positive external forces and the energy centers grow stronger. The heart center enlarges and opens.
A personal example: my son’s enlistment in the military triggered a strong emotional response in me. My hope for his safety was greater than any other adrenaline rush I had survived on. The hope for his safety was directly related to a personal memory. The perfect catalyst for my internal change. My heart opened and I looked for solutions. I found gratitude for the present moment, meditation and Chakra balancing for daily survival. A paradigm shift from within.
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
Choice — get back on track with illumination or to retreat back into the protective shell:
The energy being makes choices every moment. Move forward or retreat back into the protective shell.
If moving forward, eventually, more and more positive forces surround the soul space. Illuminated beings, positive experiences, guides, angels, earthly angels, teachers, and events. Strong emotions such as love and gratitude override all negative forces
A personal example here is when I was given a “6 months to live” diagnosis. That was over 11 years ago! The love and gratitude I have for my children was stronger than giving up. There must have been self-love as well. I decided to move forward and be with my children instead of leave. I accepted angels, joy, love and peace in my life.
••••••••••••••••••••••••••
Attraction Stage:
If the moving forward, the heart center expands and acts as a magnet, drawing in the new energy centers. The protective shell becomes permeable, allowing positive energy to enter and release.
If retreating into the shell, the cycle repeats itself until the choice is made to move forward.
In my life, I experienced a sense of peace for years after my son enlisted and after the diagnosis. But then my son deployed overseas and I regressed into anger and unworthiness. At that time, I made the choice to retreat into a very dark place. It lasted for several years until I recalled the power within to open my heart. This most recent decision has attracted a series of divine experiences. I will tell you more about my recent journey of illumination in a separate post.
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
Alignment Stage:
The new energy centers come into alignment and radiate. The protective shell completely dissolves. The soul space hugs the energy centers closer. Each of the new energy centers radiate an energy so strong and positive that the protective shell is permeable.
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
Illuminated Stage
The illuminated stage is a simple state of joy, love, safety, wisdom, connection and peace. Energy beings at this stage of illumination spread light every moment now and forever through their thoughts, actions and existence. This stage of illumination has an exponential effect on all.
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
Knowing there are options to recall peace, acceptance, gratitude, forgiveness, love and joy is a journey worthy of all.
I send love and light to all. I am because we are.

Illumination Process
Are you on an illuminated spiritual journey? Do you ever feel a bit confused and alone? I urge you to reach out, to find others going through a similar experience. We are here to help one another.
This past week, I attended a group discussion at the studio of Jill Sand Consulting. Jill shared some very interesting information that helps to explain a lot of what has gone on with me over the past few years. Thank you Jill, for following your guidance. And many thanks to Karen Downing who explains the Chakra Ascension process in her blog at yoursoulmission.com
During the discussion, we were given a lot of information about Chakra Ascension. I like to call it spiritual illumination. I could feel others were a bit confused at first, with our protective egos popping up, saying, “Hey, where is this information coming from? How can I trust it?” I asked the questions of Jill who explained it very kindly to us.
Like many new concepts, the information flows in front of us through our spiritual guides, our intuition and from earthly guides, mentors and teachers. With my protective ego at ease, my observational/nonjudgmental ego to surfaced. My soul recognized the information as truth. I relaxed and the information came through much more clearly.
Like I said, there was A LOT of information. It rattled and tumbled around a bit. I woke up the next day ready to simplify, communicate and share! Woohoo! Cuz that’s what I do. I like to simplify with graphics to help communication. The greatest graphic design dream.
Following is a short meditation to get started. This meditation came about in 2015 around the time of Molly Friedenfeld’s spring retreat after I noticed a lot of people needed to feel safe to move forward. You’ll notice later how there is a direct tie-in with the topic for today.

Knowing we are safe and connected with the earth is a very important part of the illumination process.
To me, feeling safe has been an important part of my journey. During the spring of 2015, I too found myself needing to know I am safe to move forward. I used LilyTiger Guidance Cards every day or so. And guess what kept coming up? A root chakra card! “I AM SAFE”
Why did I need to feel safe? So much stuff has happened in my life that put me in constant fight or flight mode. A constant adrenaline rush of go – go – go – escape. I had to find a way to feel safe for survival. So, after the root chakra cards popped up I practiced self Reiki, acupressure, attended a wonderful retreat, participated in healing circles, wore a healing medallion and practiced meditation much like the one here in this blog. It worked, I know I am safe. I feel stable and am moving forward in a state of joy and gratitude.
I know I am connected to the earth. It will always be here for me.
The second thing I did this past year that helped me to feel more peaceful was to feel worthy and accepted. To know I am worthy of joy and love and forgiveness. Forgiveness of myself and others. Creating and wearing a sacred name healing medallion daily has helped me reach a state of self acceptance and worthiness. I won’t go over any activity in this blog entry. But I urge you, if you haven’t done it already, to find someone or something that can guide you through an exercise of self acceptance and worthiness. Late last year I experienced a very helpful tapping sequence led by Julie Jacky.
——————————
So . . . now we get back to the main topic: Energy Center Illumination.
——————————
You see here that the chakras have been, for many of us, a core group of 7 energy wheels. All lined up, each developing throughout our lives. And carrying on as they should. Life has been good for the most part.
But now . . . change is occurring and has occurred. Exciting! Confusing! Mixed emotions. Everyone is different. There is no right or wrong. There is no hierarchy. It happens differently for everyone.
———————
In the Pre-illumination Stage you see the 7 old chakras lined up and encased in a container.
Are you familiar with glow sticks? The kind you might get for kids at Halloween? Well, the old chakras in the pre-illumination stage are like a glow stick still in the package. In order to light up, an external source snaps the stick with just enough force to release the chemical reaction. And then after that it glows and leads the way!
The illumination process is much like that. In the beginning. We are a fuel cell filled with energy and light. And then something comes along with enough force to ignite us.
That brings us to the 2nd stage. The Ignition Stage. A force strong enough at our heart center needs to happen in order for ignition to take place. One thing or a combination of events. Something with a strong emotional charge. A deep depression or illness or a loved one’s transition. Something happens that triggers our soul to open our heart and set our heart free. Ultimately it is our decision. We need to move forward and seek out the change.
In my personal experience, it was a combination of events that ignited my heart opening. My son enlisting in the military catapulted me into knowing I needed more than a physical connection. My soul told me something needed to change. That change was the start of my personal illumination process. It has taken me 7 years. I can confidently share with you that I am well on my way to opening up my Ultimate Being Chakra.
I found a key that unlocks the door. Many of you have also. And if you haven’t, you will in your own time.
And when that happens. That ignition. Our heart light energy glows brighter. This is the Attraction Stage. The heart chakra becomes a magnet and attracts the new chakras. The changes happen over the course of moments, days, weeks, months or years.
Let’s review what just happened. The glow stick contains the the 7 old chakras. A positive force comes along and snaps the container. The force releases our heart chakra. The heart chakra attracts new chakras like a magnet.
In the Attraction Stage, the heart chakra attracts new chakras that waited for us at a soul level.
A few old chakras fade and go away, some change. The new chakras come into alignment. This is the Alignment Stage which happens over time and is different for everyone. There are stops and starts. One by one, the new chakras align and work together to create a state of illumination.
Here are the new chakras in the Illumination Stage. I’ll explain their roles starting with the Earth Root Chakra at the feet and move to the top of your head for the new Ultimate Being Chakra.
• Earth Root Chakra (red) radiates red light below our feet and into the earth. Focus on connection with the past and moving forward and connecting us with the earth.
• Belly Button Chakra (tangerine orange). Focuses on nourishment, group need, energy, creativity and intuition.
• Hand Chakra (yellow). Focuses on giving and receiving, manifestation, sense of self and gratitude
• Universal Love Chakra (green) and radiates a green light as far as you can imagine and further. Focuses on unconditional love, peace and compassion
• Soul Star Chakra (silver blue) radiates silver blue light as far as you can imagine on all planes and dimensions. The Soul Star Chakra focuses on spiritual truth, connecting with spirit, communication, perception, clarity and telepathy.
• Ultimate Being Chakra (violet) radiates a white light with gold flecks. Focuses on divine connection, releasing hidden truths and much more. Let your imagination go with this one! Remote viewing, bi-location, connecting with multiple dimensions of the universe as well as the grid of time and space.
————–
And the super cool thing about all of this is how the energy centers radiate way beyond us!
To help simplify even more, close your eyes and see a butterfly or a dragon fly or a beautiful tree. Anything, you pick. The tail or tip or root system red; the body or trunk orange, yellow and magenta; the lower wings or leaves are green; the upper wings or sky are silver blue and the antennae are a shimmering white with gold flecks.
The illumination process happens in cycles. The process of encapsulated energy cell to breaking free to attracting change to illumination can happen again and again. But as we go along, the stages shorten and become a bit easier to get through. Eventually the illuminated stage lengthens and becomes brighter and brighter.
This explains how and why there are many more teachers of light out there today. They are able to sustain this illumination. Their wings are larger and brighter. They fly further and higher. Branches are bigger, stronger, longer.
It’s very simple. Visualize a butterfly or dragonfly or a tree.
