"Experiencing the Lull and the Big Purge to Freedom" - Karen Bishop - August 21, 2008
EXPERIENCING THE LULL AND THE BIG PURGE TO FREEDOM
Karen Bishop
August 21, 2008


Greetings!

We just completed a big purge, and thus, we are now in a lull. The lunar eclipse and full moon supported us in really seeing who we are, in allowing us to go into that scary and seemingly dark space, and now we are out and on the other side.

If you are one who is unusually sensitive and connects easily, you may have experienced the lunar eclipse on August 16th with confusing feelings of low self worth, perhaps self-loathing, and even guilt for no apparent reason. You may have felt just plain icky and you did not know why. Suddenly feeling bad about ourselves for no apparent reason is simply a manifestation of the lunar eclipse supporting us in going deep within and seeing the denser aspects of who we are.

After its passing, we were then given an opportunity to shed a lot around us. We may have suddenly felt as though it was time for a big housecleaning, and not just our physical homes! After all we had been through in the past few months and weeks, it was indeed time for a rest…time for us to find sacred spaces, shed and purge anything in our lives which had not felt good to us, and know that we could now live and be free and clear of any denser and unpleasant energies (within and without).

We had actually and finally come home….it was indeed time for the “other side.” We could now be here and feel the peace, tranquility, ease, and comfort that had escaped us in recent times past. It was time to be back in our comfort zones once again…comfort zones we had not been in since March of 2007. We can now know that being in the muck and unpleasantness of another reality is now forever over (except for the times we must return, if ever so briefly J). We can now know that we are done, that we no longer have to be a part of any unpleasant and denser energies. We can now rest assured that the roles we had to play in previous times of interacting with these energies to bring them “up” are now over. We do not have to do this ever again. Seeming sacrifices made for the good of another or the good of the whole were suddenly released now…and many of us were ever ready for this change indeed (perhaps part of the reason for the “guilt” as well, as we said bye-bye).

So then, many are being guided to sacred spaces of their own, as sudden openings and manifestations are occurring when they would not before. In this new land of simplicity, peace, and tranquility, tasks are being accomplished slowly, with ease, and in an effortless way. There is no density here…only a lightness and ease with a simple and sweet flow.

The purging and detoxing that is just finishing now and has been for the past few weeks, is simply a releasing of all of the old denser energies that we had around us. The purging is not necessarily a purging of our denser selves, but a purging of the energies of our surroundings that we were so engulfed in during recent weeks. We were trapped in denser energies for awhile and can now let them go.

This purging can manifest as intestinal distress and pressure, bladder pain, muscle pain, and exhaustion. It can even feel as though there are toxins within our bodies that just plain hurt. It can be difficult to eat much of anything during these times, and difficult to eat at all as our bodies are going through so much. Eating light and drinking lots of pure water are always good remedies.

When new light arrives, we can feel intense sinus pain and pressure. This is very common. It can also feel as though we are having some challenges with allergies as well (but sometimes we are just having allergy symptoms). The sinus pain is the expansion we feel when we are opening to more light…so is the upper back and neck pain. The allergy symptoms can occur when we are resisting our old environment as it no longer vibrates where we do. So then, although we have arrived in a new and better feeling spaces, we can still be detoxing from the old and adjusting to the new!

September will bring in more of the new….more of the beauty, simplicity, and light we have been longing for. And October will usher in more rapid and solid manifestations of our new spaces, including the supports we will need in times to come. October will be much more fast moving and intense and we will barely be able to catch our breaths with all the new manifestations occurring for us. And November will very possibly bring in a rocky, tumultuous, and gutting surprise for much of the old world.

So even though it may seem very quiet of late, it can simply be nice to have a much needed rest, enjoy the lull, and catch our breaths before things rev up once again.

Wishing you heaven in your heart, starlight in your soul, and miracles in your life in these miraculous times...

Until next time,

1. Here's the book excerpt that was included in the E-mail notification from her.
For your reading pleasure from Remembering Your Soul Purpose:

"A water bearer in India had two large pots,
each hung on either end of a pole
which he carried across his neck. One of the pots had
a crack in it, and while the other pot
was perfect and always delivered a full portion of
water at the end of the long walk
from the stream to the master's house, the cracked
pot arrived only half full.
For a full two years this went on daily, with the
bearer delivering only one and a half
pots full of water to his master's house. The perfect
pot was proud of its accomplishments,
but the cracked pot was miserable, ashamed that it
was able to accomplish only half of
what it had been made to do. After two years of
what it perceived to be a bitter failure,
the cracked pot spoke to the water bearer one day
by the stream.
"I am ashamed of myself, and I want to apologize to
you." "Why? What are you ashamed of?"
asked the bearer. "I have been able, for these past
two years, to deliver only half my load
because this crack in my side causes water to leak
out all the way back to your master's house.
Because of my flaws, you have to do all of this work,
and you don't get full value from your efforts,"
the pot said.
The water bearer felt compassion and said, "As we
return to the master's house, I want
you to notice the beautiful flowers along the path."
Indeed, as they went up the hill, the
old cracked pot took notice of the sun warming
many beautiful wild flowers on the side
of the path, and this cheered it some. But at the end
of the trail, it still felt bad because
it had leaked out half its load, and so again it
apologized to the bearer for its failure.
The bearer said to the pot, "Did you notice that there
were flowers only on your side of
the path, but not on the other pot's side? That is
because I have always known about
your crack. Accepting what was given to me,
I planted flower seeds on your side of the path,
and every day while we walk back from the stream,
you've watered them. For two years I
have been able to pick these beautiful flowers to
decorate my master's table. Without you
being just the way you are, he would not have this
beauty to grace his house."

4. So true, Dream.
I very somewhat have the option to attend a software conference in September in, of all places, Pittsburg. I have so far said that I am not interested because of the fact that I was laid off from a long-term job from there. It just now occurred to me that I could get to meet you if I do go. It is not guaranteed as deadlines have passed, etc. But, if I can arrange it, do you think we can meet?

6. Ahhh neck pain--check
I had no idea why I suddenly had neck pain! And oddly enough I've been getting a stuffy nose first thing in the morning, just as I wake up. It lasts for about 10 minutes, then clears up. Nothing different about the air flow and nothing else has changed--I wonder if it has something to do with returning to this plane after being "out and about" during the night...

Anyway, thanks for posting, Dream, as always!

Hey, isn't it about time for a new Matthew message too...? I've been checking a couple of times a day! :D

7. I think that Matthew likes to keep us on our toes.
As soon as we think that we know when he's going to post, he surprises us. He was human once -- he should know that most of us humans want predictability!

:bounce:

I've been having the abdominal distress. (Nothing that warrants checking by a doctor though.) I hope that your neck feels better soon, MG.

9. All of it, even down to the sinuses.
This surprises me, because I didn't get so much from her previous two posts that I recall. But this one, boy!

"many are being guided to sacred spaces of their own, as sudden openings and manifestations are occurring when they would not before. In this new land of simplicity, peace, and tranquility, tasks are being accomplished slowly, with ease, and in an effortless way."

This is happening right now. Another position in my office has suddenly opened, and it's looking as though I may land there. I won't go into any gory details*, but I spoke with that department's manager yesterday, and I've been giddy ever since.






*unless you ask :)

11. OK.
It's not a done deal. Yesterday I met with our Marketing Manager/Assoc. Director - and he gave me monstrous validation. In sum he said: He believes I'm one of the smartest people here, he loves my sense of humor, he believes that I'm insanely bored in my position, he's flexible, he's not a clockwatcher, he just wants the work to get done.... There wouldn't be much of a raise, if any, but I'm soooo fine with that because of what else the job will give me, which is experience in buying magazine advertising. The only uncertainty right now is that he has another person (an outsider) that our Production Manager wants him to talk to about the position, but he's not sold on that idea.

He likes me. He really likes me.

I'm tripping on it, and nodding my head in wonder. The job will probably be posted internally next week, interview the week after, and start two or three weeks after that, depending on how separation from my current position goes.

I've been praying for an opportunity just like this. In the meantime, I've had to deal with the roots of my procastinating behavior, address and change it, forgive myself for jobs poorly done in the past, and believe that I really am worthy of my own dreams and ideas. I've also had to exercise patience and discover faith. It's been a two year process.

12. I'm rooting for you, Dora!
It sounds wonderful, and you deserve a job that feeds you in ways more than just monetarily. I'm sending good vibes your way!

:D

14. These last few days haven't been a lull-
however, my grasping/stubborness and fear are likely greater than the norm :/

A nice new level of up and out, and higher dimensions in their place. This stinks but it's working, even though I doubt that it would...some of us must have to come along tooth and nail, if we're coming along at all. I'm the one holding on to my suffering, not anyone else.

I'm quite gratified that the upward path is indeed as described by Karen and others- I was worried that darkness had indeed gotten an up, but the old is still leaving, and the new is very high vibration indeed. I've never felt such access as this. What an interesting time to be alive.

Please keep anchoring the higher dimensions throughout the Earth...and this galaxy, which can seriously use a purge prior to 2012!! And pardon my histrionics as well. Just don't pay attention to me. I'll get there one way or the other ("other" being most likely). Sorry if I've brought any negativity to the group. I've had a lot to purge.
