Will there be a third world war? The answer is no. I ‘ve been told by my guides that there is NO WAY our Extra Terrestrial brothers and sisters along with the Ascended Masters will allow us to destroy ourselves this way. Over and over in the Akashic Records I’ve seen information come through for clients and also for humanity is the idea that tells us a number of things. Ascended Masters are coming into embodiment (being born) at a very high rate. Why would these high souls choose to be born now if the end result is destruction? Their combined Light alone will help shift the balance. And if that is not enough, with this amount of Light on the planet there is no way that the Beings of Light will allow the planet to be destroyed. Many of you are seeing ships in the clouds, or sensing somehow that there are more than just us here, right now on the planet. This I know with my whole being.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in; position: relative;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in; position: relative;"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: black; color: #f3f3f3; font-family: Arial;"&gt;I’ve heard that the remote viewers here in North America are also saying that even if global war breaks out – that their will be a fairly quick intervention (from ET like forces) to keep it from escalating. I also know from my time in the Akashic Records that the plan for humanity includes healing the wounds of the past and moving into a great golden age. Recently Major John Jenkens was on Coast to Coast radio and offered similar information. He sees that there will be many dramatic changes. Remember that you ARE the future. Start imagining that “there were some scary moments, but that it wasn’t that hard.” Your own free will can change the future. If enough of humanity call in a version of the future that allows for change without suffering it will be so.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in; position: relative;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in; position: relative;"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: black; color: #f3f3f3; font-family: Arial;"&gt;Now the Tibetans are telling us something very similar. Interestingly remote viewing is fairly well known in Tibet. Here’s a link to that article.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in; position: relative;"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: black; color: #f3f3f3; font-family: Arial;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: black;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #f3f3f3;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://outlooktibet.com/mind-a-life/sience-a-buddhism-news/buddhism/442-1223907504" style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;Tibet Article&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in; position: relative;"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: black; color: #f3f3f3; font-family: Arial;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in; position: relative;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in; position: relative;"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: black;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #f3f3f3;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;One other idea before you jump to that link. Decide today, this moment to pray for world leaders. Not just your country leader, but for all world leaders in every avenue of society. There most certainly will be a change of the guard in many places, and you can improve your life and those around you by praying for all leaders of every kind. What do you pray? “I ask that all my prayers for myself be granted to all leaders, world wide. May they become more wise, more spiritual, more connected to their divine self and their guides of 100% God light.” Thank you God.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in; position: relative;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #f3f3f3; font-family: Arial;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3631241348976947030-3267726114009120606?l=beyondthefloweroflife.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://beyondthefloweroflife.blogspot.com/feeds/3267726114009120606/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://beyondthefloweroflife.blogspot.com/2012/01/end-of-worldnot.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3631241348976947030/posts/default/3267726114009120606'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3631241348976947030/posts/default/3267726114009120606'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://beyondthefloweroflife.blogspot.com/2012/01/end-of-worldnot.html' title='The end of the world...NOT'/><author><name>Maureen St. Germain</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15944669083631347534</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_VfXQyQ6ABVY/S2UHdQSiqbI/AAAAAAAAAAM/OhvujJZg7Ks/S220/Cropped+Maureen--great.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3631241348976947030.post-1703331738605990816</id><published>2011-11-09T21:28:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2011-11-09T21:28:51.993-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Mutual Co-Creation</title><content type='html'>&lt;div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In my Akashic Records classes I'm asking the students to answer the same questions I'm asking my own guides in the Records. One of the things coming out of this work is that we are emerging into a new era of &lt;i&gt;kindness &lt;/i&gt;that replaces the old way of &lt;i&gt;being responsible.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We are all being asked to look into ourselves and see our neighbor. Not only to walk a mile in their shoes but to decide they may have something important to contribute to what we are doing and &lt;i&gt;vice versa.&lt;/i&gt; This is way beyond looking at another as a "mirror" or teacher. Those phrases have a remedial quality to them while mutual co-creation signifies equality.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When you choose to operate inside the parameters of spiritual evolution through the Akashic Records, you are tuning in to two important factors. One, the understanding of human behavior, and two the receiving of information that allows you to make other choices.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When you step outside of your ego's "need to understand," you will find you can let 3-D reality be while exploring the 5th dimensional existence. This allows your ego to unite with your Higher Self. When this happens, the 3-D reality will take care of itself.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3631241348976947030-1703331738605990816?l=beyondthefloweroflife.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://beyondthefloweroflife.blogspot.com/feeds/1703331738605990816/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://beyondthefloweroflife.blogspot.com/2011/11/mutual-co-creation.html#comment-form' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3631241348976947030/posts/default/1703331738605990816'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3631241348976947030/posts/default/1703331738605990816'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://beyondthefloweroflife.blogspot.com/2011/11/mutual-co-creation.html' title='Mutual Co-Creation'/><author><name>Maureen St. Germain</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15944669083631347534</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_VfXQyQ6ABVY/S2UHdQSiqbI/AAAAAAAAAAM/OhvujJZg7Ks/S220/Cropped+Maureen--great.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3631241348976947030.post-6627006555514470346</id><published>2011-09-11T11:49:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-09-11T11:51:46.220-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Other Versions of You</title><content type='html'>&lt;div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I've been discussing the idea of "other versions of you" with students a lot lately. If you've not considered this possibility, give yourself a giant nudge and read the section in &lt;i&gt;Beyond the Flower of Life&lt;/i&gt; about other versions of yourself. If you have read it, and don’t remember this part, check out page 162.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In my experiences traveling all over the world, I've run into so many seemingly "duplicate" versions of people I know, that I've become convinced this phenomenon &lt;i&gt;does&lt;/i&gt; exist. One year, two men—both Japanese—chose to go on our Fourteen Magic Days in Egypt Sacred Journey with me. They had never met. Both were born in Tokyo. One lived in the New York area, the other in Seattle. Both shared this big interest in the MerKaBa and had studied with me previously. Since each was traveling alone they were paired up as roommates. After seeing them together, I had a strong suspicion they were alternate versions of one another. They ended up having a great time enjoying themselves and concluded, as I did, they were two versions of the same soul.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In my practice, I sometimes meet two similar people for readings around the same time. We've had this happen multiple times, with two individuals with uncommon names show up in our business on the same day. Either they purchased an Akashic Records Reading, or registered for a class or came to the same workshop on the same day.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One time at TEI we thought we were dealing with one Carolina, who I already knew. Only weeks later did we discover she was a &lt;i&gt;new and different&lt;/i&gt; Carolina also &lt;i&gt;asking for an appointment with me.&lt;/i&gt; At first, we couldn't understand how they had gotten so turned around in our minds. But the circumstances were so peculiar and synchronistic, that when I asked what was going on, the answer was the "obvious"—they are the same soul! Next I asked, "Should I say something?" My Higher Self gave a big "yes" and I introduced them to each other. One lived in Florida. The other was moving there next week!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why is this important? If one soul can occupy two bodies, the whole belief in one soul, one body is turned on its head! What else do you believe that may not be true? It's time to expand your concept of reality. If you are honest with yourself you must accept there is more going on than you could possibly imagine from a linear perspective. You need to reconsider everything you thought about yourself, your life, your mission and so on. You have the opportunity to become your most advanced self by changing the way you think about things.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I've come to the conclusion there are multiple versions of everybody. What's the benefit of meeting or knowing each other? You can work together to leapfrog over each other! Once there were even three Maureens in one class. You go figure!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3631241348976947030-6627006555514470346?l=beyondthefloweroflife.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://beyondthefloweroflife.blogspot.com/feeds/6627006555514470346/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://beyondthefloweroflife.blogspot.com/2011/09/other-versions-of-you.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3631241348976947030/posts/default/6627006555514470346'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3631241348976947030/posts/default/6627006555514470346'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://beyondthefloweroflife.blogspot.com/2011/09/other-versions-of-you.html' title='Other Versions of You'/><author><name>Maureen St. Germain</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15944669083631347534</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_VfXQyQ6ABVY/S2UHdQSiqbI/AAAAAAAAAAM/OhvujJZg7Ks/S220/Cropped+Maureen--great.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3631241348976947030.post-9125325364820642513</id><published>2011-08-03T19:09:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-08-04T07:49:22.733-07:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Higher Self Work&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What can you expect from a Higher Self (HS) connection and how can you use it?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The benefit of building that Higher Self connection is that you can ask about &lt;em&gt;anything!&lt;/em&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One of my students has a very demanding job as a director of several departments of a very large retail conglomerate. While in China buying furniture he noticed one of the legs of the table samples wasn't right. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He thought one leg was shorter by 1/4 of an inch. He asked his Higher Self (HS) and confirmed it. The vendors insisted he was wrong. He asked for a tape measure and sure enough, the table leg was off by 1/4 of an inch. The vendors were dumbfounded! How could he see the quarter of an inch difference from that far away. He laughs out loud when he tells this story. He asked his Higher Self what was wrong with the table, and his HS told him about the 1/4 inch.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have asked my HS when my children would be home from an event. Long before cell phones I asked if my kids were OK when I didn't know where they were. I've asked my HS about clothing that I would like to purchase. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One time my HS was very clear about purchasing a skirt that was too tight. I have learned that this is not the best thing to do. However, I was losing weight at the time, and my HS said to get it anyway; I fit into it easily within a few weeks and it's been a staple of my wardrobe ever since!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I've even used my HS to pass a professional exam. I did study for a whole year before certification, yet there were trick questions on the test that my HS helped me answer correctly.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A student of mine was up for her professional certification. It meant a 20% pay increase. She had studied for other exams and was a graduate of two Ivy League schools. Yet she was so busy with her work that she wasn't able to give it her usual deep study to prepare for this important exam.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She asked me to check in with the Akashic Records Keepers to find out if it was in her highest and best good to postpone her exam in order to be able to have more preparation time for it. "No," they said, "you can pass it now." "How?!" she questioned. They reminded her that she could ask her Higher Self, for it knows the answer to every question. The Record Keepers went on to give her a recommended study plan for the remaining few weeks before the test.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Is that legal?' she questioned. They told her she had studied well. They reminded her that she has also worked diligently on her Higher Self Connection. "Why not use it?" they replied, "You earned it."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I've used my HS connection to handle relationship issues. I've used it to help me know if I'll ever need something I'm thinking about throwing out. The list goes on and on. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dan Furst, in his new book, &lt;em&gt;&lt;a href="http://redwheelweiser.com/detail.html?id=9781578635016"&gt;Surfing Aquarius: How to Ace the Wave of Change&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/em&gt; (Weiser Books, available September 1, 2011) tells us that in the not-too-distant future we will be pulling our information not from outside sources but from &lt;em&gt;within.&lt;/em&gt; It makes sense to start developing these skill sets right away so you can rely on them from now on! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How long do you have to devote to the exercises?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The best results come from a six-week commitment to developing your HS connection. The practice period does have some rules. You will need to follow them dutifully. The payoff is phenomenal. Devote six weeks to a practice and achieve results for the rest of your life. Pretty wonderful payout!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One last thought, the way to do this is found in my book, &lt;em&gt;Beyond the Flower of Life&lt;/em&gt;, so why wait any longer? Check out Chapters 5 &amp;amp; 6!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Send us your favorite Higher Self story!

The traditional one that almost everyone gets is goose bumps (or goose flesh). It's one way for your body to tell you that &lt;em&gt;you are&lt;/em&gt; in resonance with the Divine version of you, your Higher Self. So pay attention next time it happens!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For more regular communication, persistence works, since no earnest request can remain unfilled. Keep asking your Higher Self to communicate with you. Be sure you are specific by addressing your Higher Self by &lt;em&gt;name&lt;/em&gt; then it will answer your call sooner or later. Be patient. I usually recommend a 45-day practice period for my students.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sometimes your Higher Self signal is very subtle. Sure you'd like it louder. Just remember, you must walk before you run! So be gentle with yourself if you feel like your Higher Self signal is too faint. With practice, it will grow stronger, and your ability to "sense" it will increase as well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Eventually your Higher Self will be able to communicate with you through any or all senses: sight, sound, touch, smell, taste or body awareness or any combination of these. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sound may come in the form of a voice or music in your head. Sight may come in the form of a color seen behind closed eyelids or through your inner sight. You may smell a specific fragrance. Or feel subtle energies moving in your body, like mild nausea or dizziness, that accompanies your Higher Self communications. Can you notice what you feel as you ask about &lt;em&gt;your&lt;/em&gt; Higher Self?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One of my students consistently has a strong taste on her tongue whenever her Higher Self is coming through. It is metallic. Others may get a salty taste. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another student felt her heart energy bounce in and out of her chest as her Higher Self&amp;nbsp; "Yes" signal.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One of my students in a class had an itch on her ear when her Higher Self first came through. She dismissed it, thinking it couldn't be her Higher Self signal. Then her foot itched. "&lt;em&gt;That&lt;/em&gt; couldn't be it either" was her thought—so then her whole body itched! She decided to take the itchy ear as her "Yes" symbol! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What was even more interesting about this signal was that a woman sitting across from her in class had the &lt;em&gt;identical&lt;/em&gt; experience. They compared notes and determined they were from the same energetic family group—even though they were from different ethnic groups—and vowed to stay in touch! What great synergy, having a soul sister show up this way.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In summation, there is no "one way" the Higher Self communicates with everyone. It is up to you to find &lt;em&gt;your&lt;/em&gt; signal and to maintain your connection to your Higher Self even as the signals may develop or evolve. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Remember this is just the tip of the iceberg. Daily practice will validate your communication. Then when you are done with your practice period you can move into open ended questions. AND when your Higher Self contacts you, you can always validate it with your clear yes and no signals.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3631241348976947030-5447441158856992936?l=beyondthefloweroflife.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://beyondthefloweroflife.blogspot.com/feeds/5447441158856992936/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://beyondthefloweroflife.blogspot.com/2011/07/how-do-you-know-when-its-your-higher.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3631241348976947030/posts/default/5447441158856992936'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3631241348976947030/posts/default/5447441158856992936'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://beyondthefloweroflife.blogspot.com/2011/07/how-do-you-know-when-its-your-higher.html' title='How Do You Know When It&apos;s Your Higher Self?'/><author><name>Maureen St. Germain</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15944669083631347534</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_VfXQyQ6ABVY/S2UHdQSiqbI/AAAAAAAAAAM/OhvujJZg7Ks/S220/Cropped+Maureen--great.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3631241348976947030.post-3855699102519168705</id><published>2011-06-22T09:39:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-06-22T09:48:44.546-07:00</updated><title type='text'>The Difference Between BFOL’s Method of Higher Self Connection and Drunvalo’s Method</title><content type='html'>&lt;div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some people have asked me about the difference between &lt;span scayt_word="BFOL’s" scaytid="16"&gt;BFOL’s&lt;/span&gt; method of Higher Self connection and &lt;span scayt_word="Drunvalo’s" scaytid="17"&gt;Drunvalo’s&lt;/span&gt; method. Drunvalo writes about the Huna Higher Self connection in his book, &lt;em&gt;The Ancient Secret of the Flower of Life volumes I and II&lt;/em&gt;. He learned from a Hawaiian master that the way to get to the Higher Self is through the lower self. While this is certainly one way, it is not the &lt;em&gt;only&lt;/em&gt; way! As George Gurdjieff, the famous Armenian philosopher and Sufi master, writes, "There are many paths… if they have heart then they are of use. If they do not, then they are useless."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am not the type of person who follows "isms." I ask questions and I receive answers. Often they take me into new territory. The way to the Higher Self (HS) I teach was given to me by my Guides and Higher Self. It has been employed by thousands of students successfully since 1995. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Usually you go into the MerKaBa meditation with a clear intention of connecting with your Higher Self. The method I teach starts at Breath 14 when you have a few minutes to ask your Higher Self to join you in your heart, since it is the lowest place your Higher Self can go in your body. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Initially, I suggest you ask for some sort of feedback from your Higher Self. This feedback can be in the form of a feeling/emotion or a sense such as sight, sound, touch, smell or taste or any combination of these. Then ask your Higher Self (HS) to establish (or enhance) your HS connection.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From this point you ask your HS for your sign or symbol that acknowledges your connection. Always ask your HS by name only. If you ask, and you forget to say, "Higher Self," other beings can answer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In my workshops, I recommend you set yourself a practice period of 45 days. The practice period is for &lt;em&gt;practice&lt;/em&gt;. During this time ask only simple, unimportant questions--and don’t keep score! Much of this is discussed in detail in my &lt;em&gt;Beyond the Flower of Life&lt;/em&gt; book, so please take a look at the chapter titled, "Programming 101."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3631241348976947030-3855699102519168705?l=beyondthefloweroflife.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://beyondthefloweroflife.blogspot.com/feeds/3855699102519168705/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://beyondthefloweroflife.blogspot.com/2011/06/difference-between-bfols-method-of.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3631241348976947030/posts/default/3855699102519168705'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3631241348976947030/posts/default/3855699102519168705'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://beyondthefloweroflife.blogspot.com/2011/06/difference-between-bfols-method-of.html' title='The Difference Between BFOL’s Method of Higher Self Connection and Drunvalo’s Method'/><author><name>Maureen St. Germain</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15944669083631347534</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_VfXQyQ6ABVY/S2UHdQSiqbI/AAAAAAAAAAM/OhvujJZg7Ks/S220/Cropped+Maureen--great.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3631241348976947030.post-3086199844497278789</id><published>2011-05-12T08:39:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-05-13T13:37:46.675-07:00</updated><title type='text'>No More Karma!</title><content type='html'>&lt;div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;[This an excerpt from my book, &lt;em&gt;Reweaving the Fabric of Your Reality&lt;/em&gt;] &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is no more karma of the old kind and instead, we are to work with karma of a new kind—instant karma. I do not know exactly when it occurred, but since 1994 I have been getting information that there is no more karma in the traditional sense. You and I are no longer weighted by the burden of sins of the past and you can claim your right to this new dispensation. You get a clean slate every day and you will benefit from claiming this gift. It is the beginning of "personal responsibility in the moment."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;[Note: After I completed &lt;em&gt;Reweaving the Fabric of Your Reality&lt;/em&gt;, I came across &lt;em&gt;Dear God! What Is Happening to Us?, &lt;/em&gt;Lynn Grabhorn’s second book in her trilogy. For me, it was the capstone of the information I had been receiving. You may find her book useful in shedding additional light on some of this material. Although she approaches it from a slightly different perspective, I believe her experiences and stories will provide another way to grow your own understanding of this material.]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Meaning of No Karma&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Claiming the Light and choosing to embody the Light in each and every moment is the path of no karma. You are much freer than you may think. You &lt;em&gt;always&lt;/em&gt; have a choice, and recognizing and applying this is the beginning of understanding.]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you choose the path of no karma, here is how it may manifest in your life:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;li&gt;You may have outcomes and consequences over your actions today, but you will not be held back by past mistakes.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;You can choose to start each day with a clean slate.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;You no longer have to carry the heavy weight of dark energies working in or around you; you can choose to unhook from and release them.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;You are empowered to clear this weight for family systems, social systems, ethnic groups and more.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;strong&gt;There Is No More Intense Anger&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anger has also been eliminated from this 3-D reality. Extreme excesses of intense anger are coming from outside our current system as entities or projections of entities from outside this reality.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you find you are having an intense reaction to a situation and your own anger arises, it may be that &lt;em&gt;you&lt;/em&gt; are carrying entities. You can clear these entities yourself. Once you have cleared out a major portion of these, it will be far easier to &lt;em&gt;stay clear of new ones.&lt;/em&gt; It will also be much easier to experience your true self, and to remain true to yourself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you are experiencing someone who is expressing intense anger, that anger is likely being caused by an entity as well. You can prove this to yourself if you can see the kindness all around you and observe the anger is out of balance with the surrounding energy. Since 1994, even when you have a disagreement with someone where you do not see eye to eye you will still find a respect towards one another. This was not always the case.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is now also possible to clear other people of these entities. You may clear them from near or far. Remote clearing is just as effective as in-person clearing. You have authority to do this clearing because the other person is interfering with you or your personal harmony.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We are in a "no tolerance" zone with regard to entities. This means if you or anyone notices them you have the right to clear them. Remote clearing is not taught in &lt;em&gt;Reweaving the Fabric of Your Reality.&lt;/em&gt; If you have a serious situation that requires additional assistance please contact our team of experienced remote healers who will work with you. They work on a donation basis and you can reach them at &lt;a href="mailto:remotehealing@gmail.com"&gt;remotehealing@gmail.com&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Cohabitation&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is a symbiotic world we have been living in, where we have existed side-by-side with entities in a somewhat mutually beneficial environment. However, this new no-more-karma energy means you no longer must live with symbiosis; you can become more of your Divine Self in each and every moment. This is the path to ascension and the divine directive.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is important to understand that there is nothing bad about having entities in you or your immediate energy field, unless you know that you have them and choose to do nothing. Discovering these entities and doing something about them is your right and a key to taking care of yourself and those around you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Gaining Ascension&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Gaining your ascension isn’t about physically ascending; it is about bringing more and more of your "Ascended self" into your physical body right here and now. One significant benefit of this is the cleaning of your own "house," which will allow you to invite royalty into your home. Who is this royalty? It is your Higher Self. It is your inheritance to create heaven on earth – right now, right where you are. The information in this book can help you do this.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;You Are Not Alone&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Please know that you are &lt;em&gt;never&lt;/em&gt; alone. Your angels and guides are always with you. It is their job to serve you; they can never abandon you. You have a room full of invisible servants waiting for your commands. Why would you hesitate to use them? By cosmic law, these beings need your requests for assistance before they can provide support. They are ready and willing to provide help. Ask for their help, grace and guidance and it will be given to you. Get in the habit of asking for help and watch the magic that only you can create&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In all our ceremonies we use Angels, Archangels and Elohim. If you wish to know more about the angels, there are many books and resources to provide that information. One you might consider using is my Rainbow Angel Meditation, which teaches about the Seven Archangels and how they can help you, and provides the historical evidence around our understanding of Angels. It is an ideal guide for anyone who wants to work more with the Angelic Realm and Elohim.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3631241348976947030-3086199844497278789?l=beyondthefloweroflife.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://beyondthefloweroflife.blogspot.com/feeds/3086199844497278789/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://beyondthefloweroflife.blogspot.com/2011/05/no-more-karma.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3631241348976947030/posts/default/3086199844497278789'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3631241348976947030/posts/default/3086199844497278789'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://beyondthefloweroflife.blogspot.com/2011/05/no-more-karma.html' title='No More Karma!'/><author><name>Maureen St. Germain</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15944669083631347534</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_VfXQyQ6ABVY/S2UHdQSiqbI/AAAAAAAAAAM/OhvujJZg7Ks/S220/Cropped+Maureen--great.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3631241348976947030.post-798142311870153383</id><published>2011-04-12T05:15:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-04-13T16:41:01.446-07:00</updated><title type='text'>What Happened in Hawaii?</title><content type='html'>&lt;div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"&gt;Oh My Goodness! What Happened in Hawaii?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Our Hawaiian Dolphin Swim and Akashic Records Reading course trip was the week of March 5-12, 2011. Normally this week-long workshop has four trips on the boat to swim with the dolphins. We had magical times in the water on our prep day. Our first day out we had so many dolphin encounters even I was amazed. I kept saying, “This is an exceptional day.” Not every day is like this. We had two more days – just as amazing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-2pRYvzbUOzQ/TaYz16DW_-I/AAAAAAAAABg/G6ultQnHPG4/s1600/Hawaiian-Dolphin-edit.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" r6="true" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-2pRYvzbUOzQ/TaYz16DW_-I/AAAAAAAAABg/G6ultQnHPG4/s1600/Hawaiian-Dolphin-edit.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then, the Japanese earthquake shook the world on March 11. The docks and public parks closed due to the tsunami that followed. We had to evacuate our hotel in Kona, so we didn’t get to do our fourth swim.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am not new to earthquakes. In fact, every time I’ve been in Japan over the last two years I’ve encountered earthquakes. I was in Tokyo on December 22, 2010, when an underwater 7.4-magnitude earthquake rocked the east coast of Honshu in the middle of the night. Before it occurred I was awakened, then told by my Higher Self to get up when I asked what was going on. I was just sitting there, wondering. Within a few minutes the building began to rock. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The very first time I was in Japan for an earthquake was a few years ago, I felt myself throw a “tap root” into the earth from the sixth floor. I then allowed the energy to stabilize through me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This time in December was no different, yet I felt even calmer. In Tokyo, the quake was a magnitude 5.6, because it was a bit far from the epicenter. I do know that I was alerted to it before it happened. I just didn’t know what the “alert” was for.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I knew more were coming and wondered about my return to Japan in the future.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Which brings me back to March, when we were on our dolphin swim in Kona, Hawaii. On Tuesday night I had wanted to take the group to a lovely restaurant along the upper highway away from the coast. We couldn’t get a reservation for that day, so my Higher Self chose Thursday for the dinner.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves, but it was taking way too long to get the bill. Finally it was done and we headed back down the hill to our waterfront hotel. Halfway down, we heard sirens. Then there were cars on the road—way too many for 10:30 PM. It reminded me of the shift change when I lived down the road from an auto plant.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We returned to our hotel, and as we gathered in a circle, one of our group, Vera, reported there was a 6-foot tsunami heading for Kona and all guests were being evacuated. As the group’s minds went off on thoughts of preparation, I brought the group in even tighter. I said, “Before we do anything, our first priority is Mother Earth.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I directed all to center awareness on and open their hearts. In the MerKaBa work that I teach, we learn to get into our hearts quickly. I then instructed everyone to expand that awareness and drop the heart energy into the earth.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What happened next was pretty amazing. I could feel the rumble from the tsunami. Excitedly I asked everyone, “Can you feel that? &lt;em&gt;Can you feel that&lt;/em&gt;?” Everyone could! So I then instructed our group to allow that energy to float back up their pranic tubes and when it reached the heart to “fountain” it up and out. Then we went to our rooms to collect what we might need for the night and reconvened within half an hour.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Our evacuation instructions were to go to the local high school. However, that didn’t seem to be our highest choice. Instead, we headed back to the high ground where we had just been dining. We all agreed that it was the ideal spot to head to, since there were bed &amp;amp; breakfasts nearby.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We drove there and—of course!—there was no room at the inn. Even the chairs in the lobby had a price tag for that night. We headed further along the upper highway looking for another bed and breakfast, but never found one.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At a certain point I got a very clear message to pull over. It was a grassy area that was open and available for us to park the car. I asked everyone to check in and ask, “Is this the best place for us to spend the night?” We all got yes. What a relief… to be with a group of like-minded individuals who are practicing the MerKaBa meditation and know how to ask their Higher Selves a question…&lt;strong&gt; in an emergency!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Carol, one of the group, had bush experiences in Africa and instructed us on how to be careful if we had to relieve ourselves in the bushes. We laughed and joked to make the best of our situation; it was like a pajama party. Pretty impressive for a bunch of newly formed friends who were going to be spending their night in a car!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Before drifting off to sleep I asked my guides if there was anything else I could do to support Mother Earth. Three times that night I found myself awake, feeling the same rumbling of the tsunami. Each time, as if on automatic, I connected with Mother Earth and brought the energy upward through my body. The second time, I could see all this unfamiliar blackness around me. I asked my Higher Self, “What is this?” I was told it was the tsunami. (It wasn’t until I returned to the mainland and turned on the TV that I saw that wall of black water overwhelming the land.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The tsunami was three feet high when it struck Kona—half the size predicted. Did our “heart fountain” meditation mitigate the waves? Two restaurants next door to our hotel sustained heavy damage, yet our hotel was unscathed… Was that because we left the Faden crystals, which we use for Akashic Records Readings, on the altar on the outside corner lanai? I remembered them only after it was too late to go back. I intuit that the crystals built a wall of light, from the crystals to the sky and back to the ground, that protected our hotel from the tsunami.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Interestingly, earlier this year when I was in Hawaii for a conference, I was given the chance to go to the tsunami museum. What timely information I received, without knowing why! When confronted with the reality of one, I felt prepared.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thank you, to the many of you who knew I was in Hawaii with a group and said extra prayers because of it. Many, many individuals were working on this one – so blessed are we.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3631241348976947030-798142311870153383?l=beyondthefloweroflife.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://beyondthefloweroflife.blogspot.com/feeds/798142311870153383/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://beyondthefloweroflife.blogspot.com/2011/04/what-happened-in-hawaii.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3631241348976947030/posts/default/798142311870153383'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3631241348976947030/posts/default/798142311870153383'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://beyondthefloweroflife.blogspot.com/2011/04/what-happened-in-hawaii.html' title='What Happened in Hawaii?'/><author><name>Maureen St. Germain</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15944669083631347534</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_VfXQyQ6ABVY/S2UHdQSiqbI/AAAAAAAAAAM/OhvujJZg7Ks/S220/Cropped+Maureen--great.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-2pRYvzbUOzQ/TaYz16DW_-I/AAAAAAAAABg/G6ultQnHPG4/s72-c/Hawaiian-Dolphin-edit.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3631241348976947030.post-923124077011638457</id><published>2011-03-09T16:05:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2011-03-09T16:06:38.268-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Being in the Present</title><content type='html'>&lt;div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;Being in the present assists you to be fifth Dimensional, and become your Higher Self. What’s the benefit? If all of us become our Higher Selves then the world will change. We will still have desires but they will be solved or achieved through win-win scenarios. Now how do we relate that to past and present?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;Anytime you spend time commiserating about the past, wondering about the future or complaining in the present about anything, you are not in your heart, and you are validating your emotions. There is nothing wrong with validating your emotions.&amp;nbsp; Just do it in the moment and then be done. I actually tell people in my manifestation book, &lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.maureenstgermain.com/BooksWeLove.html#Maureen"&gt;You are the Genie in the Bottle&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;, &lt;/i&gt;that three strikes and you are out! Limit telling your story to three people and it will really help you anchor in this whole business of staying the present.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;When you re-tell your painful experience you are giving it weight. Instead ask for the help of the Angels or ascended beings and watch the magic resolve everything. I recommend that you consider using the phrase, “I am asking for a most Benevolent Outcome” whenever you encounter difficulty of any kind. This sort of being in the moment validates the situation briefly while calling in a Higher Self solution. Tom Moor popularized this phrase channeled by Robert Shapiro, “a most benevolent outcome.” Tom has a &lt;a href="http://www.careofthesoul.net/"&gt;website&lt;/a&gt; and a &lt;a href="http://blog.breakthrough.com/2011/02/15/an-interview-with-thomas-moore-2/"&gt;blog&lt;/a&gt; and I recommend you check him out at well.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;One of the phrases I take credit for is “Asking for a day of Heaven on Earth.” I came across this phrase accidentally when correcting an inappropriate phrase. When a terrible day turned magically solvent I &lt;i&gt;wondered&lt;/i&gt; what was going on? I was told by my Higher Self, “You asked for a day of Heaven on Earth.” “Wow, I thought, next time I have a jam packed day, I’m doing that again!” Third time I used it the “aha” occurred. That’s when I decided to ask for this &lt;i&gt;everyday &lt;/i&gt;and to teach it to my students. When planning your day consider using this tool from my book, &lt;a href="http://www.maureenstgermain.com/BeyondtheFlowerofLife.html"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;Beyond the Flower of Life&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;nbsp; This tool is “I am asking for a day of heaven on earth.”&amp;nbsp; I ask daily, you can too.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;I wish you a day of Heaven on Earth and claim a million blessings for you this day.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;Love,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;Maureen&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3631241348976947030-923124077011638457?l=beyondthefloweroflife.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://beyondthefloweroflife.blogspot.com/feeds/923124077011638457/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://beyondthefloweroflife.blogspot.com/2011/03/being-in-present.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3631241348976947030/posts/default/923124077011638457'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3631241348976947030/posts/default/923124077011638457'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://beyondthefloweroflife.blogspot.com/2011/03/being-in-present.html' title='Being in the Present'/><author><name>Maureen St. Germain</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15944669083631347534</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_VfXQyQ6ABVY/S2UHdQSiqbI/AAAAAAAAAAM/OhvujJZg7Ks/S220/Cropped+Maureen--great.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3631241348976947030.post-8770882079667022583</id><published>2011-02-13T07:42:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2011-02-13T07:42:02.537-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Notice Your Comparisons</title><content type='html'>&lt;div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"&gt;&lt;!--[if gte mso 9]&gt;&lt;xml&gt;

As you tell your own story remember to give up comparisons. This is not as easy as it sounds. One of the first things people usually do is look at events of the past to ask me “was that my Higher Self” telling me such and such? &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;The position of comparison is to try to evaluate and compare a past event to the present new information. This is the ego talking! This is the ego that wants to rate past experiences in light of this new information. Resist the urge! When we do that, we lock ourselves into the past instead of being completely open to the present. When we are being our Higher Self in the moment we are able to detach from the need to know or understand. This permits true understanding to percolate into our awareness. Next time, notice your comparisons and see if you can pull back from that “need to compare” behavior. This supports the language of the Higher Self.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;Needing to know or understand feeds your ego’s control drama. As your ego perceives the benefit to this Higher Self information it begins to merge with your Higher Self. As that occurs then, the ego’s need to know the answer to everything diminishes because the new “safety net” of the Higher Self is in place. It becomes satisfied that the Higher Self is giving it information and assistance as appropriate. The ego doesn’t need to use logic any more to make a decision. It doesn’t mean you abandon logic either. It simply adds the Higher Self information in to the mix and allows the Higher Self information to influence the final decision. It’s so much fun to ask your Higher Self knowing the accuracy is there and you are at one with unity.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;Love,&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;Maureen&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3631241348976947030-8770882079667022583?l=beyondthefloweroflife.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://beyondthefloweroflife.blogspot.com/feeds/8770882079667022583/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://beyondthefloweroflife.blogspot.com/2011/02/notice-your-comparisons.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3631241348976947030/posts/default/8770882079667022583'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3631241348976947030/posts/default/8770882079667022583'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://beyondthefloweroflife.blogspot.com/2011/02/notice-your-comparisons.html' title='Notice Your Comparisons'/><author><name>Maureen St. Germain</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15944669083631347534</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_VfXQyQ6ABVY/S2UHdQSiqbI/AAAAAAAAAAM/OhvujJZg7Ks/S220/Cropped+Maureen--great.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3631241348976947030.post-8749155136271257412</id><published>2011-01-17T23:22:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2011-01-17T23:22:04.646-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Ego believes in protection, Higher Self believes and expresses Love</title><content type='html'>&lt;!--[if gte mso 9]&gt;&lt;xml&gt;

Remember the six interview questions? You might look at your use of these words,&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Why, When, Who, Where and How. All of these question words point you in the direction of collecting information so that you can make a judgment. The judgment is then used to act on this information. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;Judgments are different that assessments. Assessments can be around “unbiased observation.” Yes, you say, isn’t all observation biased? They probably are if your heart is not open and you are assessing to compartmentalize someone’s actions or situation, and your reaction to it.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;When you stay in wonder it becomes unnecessary to take action to protect yourself. Your ego always wants to protect you, which is good, except when you are choosing to be your own person. Parents protect children until they grow up. Comparing the ego to the parent helps us understand that our ego is our built in protector. When we are in unity consciousness, protection is no longer necessary. Thinking in unity consciousness teaches your ego that you no longer NEED protection. As the ego observes your Higher Self providing great, useful information it joins forces with it. That way your ego and your Higher Self merge.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;When you stay in wonder you allow the universe to show you MORE than what is readily visible in the current scenario. This leads to understanding what is really going on in any situation. It is easy to blame another for something and more challenging to let yourself stay in wonder. If you will do that, you will wonder what took you so long to become your fifth dimensional self, your Higher Self! That wonder, I believe, will make you laugh.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;In the next blog we will talk about another barrier to becoming your Higher Self: comparisons.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;Love,&lt;br /&gt;Maureen&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3631241348976947030-8749155136271257412?l=beyondthefloweroflife.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://beyondthefloweroflife.blogspot.com/feeds/8749155136271257412/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://beyondthefloweroflife.blogspot.com/2011/01/ego-believes-in-protection-higher-self.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3631241348976947030/posts/default/8749155136271257412'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3631241348976947030/posts/default/8749155136271257412'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://beyondthefloweroflife.blogspot.com/2011/01/ego-believes-in-protection-higher-self.html' title='Ego believes in protection, Higher Self believes and expresses Love'/><author><name>Maureen St. Germain</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15944669083631347534</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_VfXQyQ6ABVY/S2UHdQSiqbI/AAAAAAAAAAM/OhvujJZg7Ks/S220/Cropped+Maureen--great.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3631241348976947030.post-2474810102279588531</id><published>2010-12-13T14:51:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-12-13T14:51:48.241-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Learn the Language of the Higher Self</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;I point out in the&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;Beyond the Flower of Life&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp;book that there are 5 reasons for neutral. In the process I identify the language of the Higher Self. The more I worked with the Higher Self the more I have begun to realize that the Higher Self connection has its own language.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;Initially your efforts are around getting an accurate response for yes and no. Then you might begin to notice, as your heart opens, that you are able to observe the reality around you from a non-pejorative way. That is, you observe things as “interesting” instead of good or bad. You find yourself making observations that reflect a new non-biased view. This IS the language of the Higher Self.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;Knowing this language you can actually make a mental decision to speak this way at every juncture. When you practice this language, you become fluent in “Higher Self” talk. I remember when Louise Hay and the Science of Mind movement taught us all to “think positively.” At the time, many individuals needed to learn to notice their negative thoughts. Thirty years later, it’s considered common to remind oneself to think positive.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;Imagine that you can do the same upgrade now. Decide to speak the language of the Higher Self and eliminate words that carry a bias. For example, that’s an interesting juice. I think I like tomato better. That’s none of your business would translate to “You don’t have the password.” In yet another example, you might upgrade “That was so mean” to “I wonder what he was thinking?” &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;Anytime you “wonder” about something you are speaking the language of Fifth Dimension or the Higher Self. Wonder is a fabulous tool to keep you curious without judgment. Wonderment connects you with the Higher Self language making it easier to “be” the Higher Self in action right where you are!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;When you are wearing the Higher Self garment (the MerKaBa) and you are talking like a Higher Self being – you becoming the Higher Self is a forgone conclusion.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;Love,&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;Maureen&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3631241348976947030-2474810102279588531?l=beyondthefloweroflife.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://beyondthefloweroflife.blogspot.com/feeds/2474810102279588531/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://beyondthefloweroflife.blogspot.com/2010/12/learn-language-of-higher-self.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3631241348976947030/posts/default/2474810102279588531'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3631241348976947030/posts/default/2474810102279588531'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://beyondthefloweroflife.blogspot.com/2010/12/learn-language-of-higher-self.html' title='Learn the Language of the Higher Self'/><author><name>Maureen St. Germain</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15944669083631347534</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_VfXQyQ6ABVY/S2UHdQSiqbI/AAAAAAAAAAM/OhvujJZg7Ks/S220/Cropped+Maureen--great.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3631241348976947030.post-3213446622169216868</id><published>2010-11-15T15:14:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-11-15T15:14:16.920-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Higher Self Work: What can you expect and how can you use it?</title><content type='html'>Dear Reader,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here's the benefit of building that Higher Self connection. You can ask about anything! One of my students has a very demanding job as a director of several departments of a very large retail conglomerate. While in China buying furniture he noticed one of the legs of the table samples wasn't right. He thought one leg was shorter by ¼ of an inch. He asked his Higher Self (HS) and confirmed it. The vendors insisted he was wrong. He asked for a tape measure and sure enough, the table leg was off by ¼ of an inch.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have asked my HS about when my children would be home from an event. Long before cell phones, I've asked my HS if my kids were OK when I didn't know where they were. I've asked my HS about clothing that I would like to purchase. One time my HS was very clear about purchasing a skirt that was too tight. I was losing weight at the time, and have learned that it's not the best thing to do. My HS said to get and I fit into it easily within a few weeks and it's been a staple of my wardrobe!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I've even use my HS to help me pass a professional exam. I did study for a whole year before certification - yet there were questions that were trick questions and my HS came through for me. I've used it to handle relationship issues. I've used it to help me know if I I'll ever need something I'm thinking about throwing out. The list goes on and on.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How long do you have to devote to the exercises?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you will commit to six weeks or longer you will be able to achieve the best results. The practice period does have some rules. You will need to follow them judiciously. The payoff is phenomenal. Devote six weeks to a practice and achieve results for the rest of your life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Post any questions here and I'll get back to you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Love,&lt;br /&gt;Maureen&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3631241348976947030-3213446622169216868?l=beyondthefloweroflife.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://beyondthefloweroflife.blogspot.com/feeds/3213446622169216868/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://beyondthefloweroflife.blogspot.com/2010/11/higher-self-work-what-can-you-expect.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3631241348976947030/posts/default/3213446622169216868'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3631241348976947030/posts/default/3213446622169216868'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://beyondthefloweroflife.blogspot.com/2010/11/higher-self-work-what-can-you-expect.html' title='Higher Self Work: What can you expect and how can you use it?'/><author><name>Maureen St. Germain</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15944669083631347534</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_VfXQyQ6ABVY/S2UHdQSiqbI/AAAAAAAAAAM/OhvujJZg7Ks/S220/Cropped+Maureen--great.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3631241348976947030.post-8857761916488558766</id><published>2010-10-16T01:03:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-10-16T01:03:30.164-07:00</updated><title type='text'>How to Use Your MerKaBa to Antidote Venus in Retrograde</title><content type='html'>Are you getting tired of the craziness around you? Maybe you are fed up with false accusations and not being able to reassure others of our sane and good intentions. I read with interest Greta Bolingers’ email report on Venus Retrograde this month: October 8th thru November 18th (feel free to email Greta for more information at &lt;a href="mailto:gmbollinger@comcast.net"&gt;gmbollinger@comcast.net&lt;/a&gt;). &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Your “best case scenario” is to diffuse it. But how? Using your Higher Self (HS) connection you can ‘check in’ asking your HS about the accusation or criticism. Your HS will give you accurate and fair accounting of the situation. This leads to you remaining calm and steady, building the deep intimacy you desire while not engaging in intensity that is unnecessary. Keep smiling. These tests improve your HS connection and will help keep you sane. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Love,&lt;br /&gt;Maureen&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3631241348976947030-8857761916488558766?l=beyondthefloweroflife.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://beyondthefloweroflife.blogspot.com/feeds/8857761916488558766/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://beyondthefloweroflife.blogspot.com/2010/10/how-to-use-your-merkaba-to-antidote.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3631241348976947030/posts/default/8857761916488558766'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3631241348976947030/posts/default/8857761916488558766'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://beyondthefloweroflife.blogspot.com/2010/10/how-to-use-your-merkaba-to-antidote.html' title='How to Use Your MerKaBa to Antidote Venus in Retrograde'/><author><name>Maureen St. Germain</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15944669083631347534</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_VfXQyQ6ABVY/S2UHdQSiqbI/AAAAAAAAAAM/OhvujJZg7Ks/S220/Cropped+Maureen--great.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3631241348976947030.post-5259788952004737581</id><published>2010-09-17T14:56:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-09-17T15:07:03.182-07:00</updated><title type='text'>How to "Play" with your Higher Self</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;Dear Reader,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;I get so many questions asking about developing your Higher Self practice.

Your Higher Self contact is a very important priority for both you and your Higher Self. Once you make the conscious choice to work with your Higher Self every day for 45 days – you are setting the tone for the rest of your life.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;Now, some people are so accustomed to making decisions from the ego standpoint that they find it difficult to come up with creative and non attached outcome type questions. The following student from a recent class offered a recent story that is quite humorous.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;I have had many questions about how to "play" with your Higher Self over the six week practice period. This woman tells her delightful story to me. She is a recent graduate from the class I taught in Issaquah, Washington. I hope your enjoy the&amp;nbsp;subtleties and humor of her Higher Self. She writes:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;"Interesting" story- I was getting ready to go out to dinner for my sister’s bday. &lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;I was taking my credit card, but I had $14 cash laying there. &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;I decided that it &lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;would be a good time to ask a few yes, no, neutral questions to my higher self, &lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;so I said- should I take any of the cash? H.S.- YES Ok, should I take all $14? H.S.- NO &lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;Should I take 10? H.S.- NO $8? NO $5 NO $4 YES! I should take $4? YES! &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;So I stuck the $4 in my pocket wondering what I would need just $4 for. We went to &lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;dinner, and on the way back my sister says that we need to stop at the store to pick up &lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;some milk for lattes in the morning. She couldn’t park, so I said I’ll just run in and get some! &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;I walked in. The first thing I notice is the sign by the cash register: No credit card charges under $5. I thought nothing about it at the time, just noticed it. Got the milk, went up to the counter to pay. Guess how much??? $3.99. I had $4. WOW!!!!! Confirmation for me that it works!!! Thank you higher self! Thank you Maureen for teaching me how to know my higher self! I learned so much and I am still learning!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;We encourage you to check out this Blog and to post some of your experiences.

I’ve copyrighted that material way back then so you know that I’m not copying what everyone else is saying even though now it may look that way.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif; font-size: large;"&gt;Let’s talk about “jumping tracks.” I’ve referred to this many times in classes and you can find a detailed explanation of this on my website,&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flower-of-life.com/"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;http://www.flower-of-life.com&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif; font-size: large;"&gt;. This is also found on page 121 of my latest book, &lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;Beyond the Flower of Life&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;. I explain that there is something easy to do when you get information about something “bad” that is going to happen in your dream time or meditation. See the “same” event that you have seen and then see another version of it that “fails.” It's like seeing railroad tracks that are parallel up to a point. So if someone is setting off a bomb, you see one version, then another right next to it where the mechanical device doesn’t fire, or the battery is dead, or the wires didn’t make a connection--the opportunity is lost and never occurs. You can even see the perpetrator not notice or understand what happened.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif; font-size: large;"&gt;Now let’s take that to the Genie work. In &lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;You Are the Genie in the Bottle&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt; we talk about the Phoenix sequence. The Phoenix Sequence is any recursive sequence, in a logarithmic spiral (like the Fibonacci Sequence; 1,1,2,3,5,8,13, 21, 34, 55 etc) that will produce Phi from its adjacent pairs, just like Fibonacci. That is to get phi you must divide 34 by 21 or 55 by 34. I call Phi “source code” for all of creation. Much of the mathematics we call “Sacred Geometry” is centered on the fabulous concepts that express through the Golden Ratio or the Golden Mean. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif; font-size: large;"&gt;In the Genie system of manifestation, you use two versions of the reality. One version is the version you are in. This is because what you resist persists. No resistance--acceptance is the ideal. The second version is an evolved version of your desire &lt;i&gt;after&lt;/i&gt; you get what you really desire. I call this second version of the reality the “after event.” So in a classic example of Genie Manifestation for a “Beloved” you would see two events. First would be you, single, happy, satisfied with the benefits of being single and with what’s going on, second would be you and your beloved celebrating an event such as your anniversary. Those two events vibrating together produce the “heart’s desire” in the same way that two numbers, (any two numbers) vibrating together will produce the phi ratio the same way that Fibonacci does! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif; font-size: large;"&gt;Next I’d like to bring this a little closer to home. Two of my students are in love. They are well aware that they have their default patterns--one doesn’t want to get hurt so she might pull the plug before he can hurt her, the other doesn’t feel worthy of the magnificent woman he is with, so he self-sabotages. There is a third pattern that they can also see, where they consciously choose to be aware of their “default” patterns and then choose the “centered” version each and every day. This is wonderful for both of them.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif; font-size: large;"&gt;How does that relate to you and jumping dimensions? There are many “earth shattering” events that are causing high emotions. Earth shattering for you could be anything. Maybe something happened that makes no sense. For example, one of my students clearly left her diamond stud earrings on the bedside table, just like she does every night. Yet one morning they are not there. She is beside herself because she’s been wearing these earrings for many years and they are insured for $5,000! A similar situation has happened to me. So I’m aware of the fact that at least ONE aspect of me has gone to a “higher” dimension when I set my things down, and they will show up again, once I “wake up” in that higher plane. I seek that! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif; font-size: large;"&gt;On page 134 of &lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;Beyond the Flower of Life&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;, I tell people that when something had disappeared, my Higher Self told me, “Maureen, you were in the Fourth Dimension when you set it down.” I believe that many of us are connected with more advanced versions of ourselves. These “advanced” versions could be defined by a complete time line that is similar but different, like parallel tracks. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif; font-size: large;"&gt;So going back to the lovely couple who are in love and consciously choosing what will happen next. A few weeks ago the man had a reading with me channeling his Akashic Record Keepers. They gave him a meditation, now known as the Triple Mantra. It is quite lovely and helps one to anchor in the energies of the most evolved self. We’ve made it available for free for the time being. This means you can download it and practice it right now.
