…on into the future :)

Just a quick note to say, Angels of Awakening is no longer in circulation

I invite you to visit www.awakeningwithdawn.com for more on awakening, law of attraction and metaphysics.

This includes the popular newsletter, The Daily Spark

The You that you are now is the creator of the You you are about to become.

Often times the shift from You now to, say, You tomorrow, is very subtle because our thoughts and feelings generally tend to hum along more or less the same track, unless something comes along to bump us into a new groove.

In addition to life bumping us now and then and giving us a shift, we, too, can choose to shift at any time.

3 Doors Down – It’s Not My Time Lyrics

Looking back of the beginning of this
And how life was
Just you and me loving all of our friends
Living life like an ocean
But now the current slowly pulling me down
It’s getting harder too breath
It won’t be to long and I will be going under
Can you save me from this?

Cause it’s not my time I’m not going
There’s a fear in me it’s not showing
This could be the end of me
And everything I know
Oh but I won’t go

I look ahead too all the plans that we made
And the dreams that we had
I’m in a world that try to take them away
Oh but I’m taking them back
Cause all of this time I’ we been just too blind to understand
What should matter to me
My friends is laughing and it’s not what we have
It’s what we be live in

Cause it’s not my time I’m not going
There’s a fear in me but it’s not showing
This could be the end of me
And everything I know
But it’s not my time I’m not going
There’s a will in me and now I know that
This could be the end of me
And everything I know Oh but I won’t go I won’t go

There might be more than you believe
(There might be more than you believe)
There might be more than you can see

But it’s not my time I’m not going
There’s a fear in me it’s not showing
This could be the end of me
And everything I know
But it’s not my time I’m not going
There’s a will in me and now it’s gonna show
This could be the end of me
And everything I know Oh

There might be more than you believe
(There might be more than you believe)
There might be more than you can see

But I won’t go No I won’t go down Yeah

The other day I was really down, realizing I was stuck and going down but not knowing the way out. I asked for help, just plain old, “Okay God, I know I’m in a box because this doesn’t feel good and it’s getting worse by the minute. Please help me. I’ll be listening and keeping an eye out for it.” Then I just happened to turn on the radio. This is what I heard.

The song really helped me see the limitation of my perspective, and to remember that I don’t know everything and that judging myself by current standards in a negative way just because of fear isn’t going to get me anywhere other than depressed. Maybe there IS more than I believe, and maybe there IS more than I can see. That asking, that wondering, that realization – it’s so important.

A shift in perspective can be right around the corner, especially when we ask for it, look for it, hope and even maybe expect it. In the darkest times is when light shines the brightest – but it’s up to us to pause for long enough to look up, and listen.

“A slight shift in perspective can yield radically different results.” – Alan Cohen

If you’re hurting, feeling caught in a swirl, like you’re losing yourself, almost out of hope – ask for help from the universe. There may be something more than you see, know, or believe at the time. The universe is waiting for the merest hint of an invitation to show you how things may be shifted.

Help and guidance can even be requested when you’re not having a difficult time! We just tend to remember to ask for help when we really need it, but help is there even if you just want it. It really is.

Awakening with Dawn ~ Quantum Expansion of the Identity

Life is a river of energy that constantly flows.

It flows regardless of our attention to it – but how it flows through us is entirely dependent on us and our view of it, how much we allow it to come through us, and how much we have gotten in touch with Our Own Way and how it works in conjunction with The Way. To a great degree, we are the ones who dictate how much flows through us, and in what way it expresses itself through us.

We are dance partners with the flow of creation. We, our choice of focus, our expression of our own individual nature, are a part of the dance – not separate. Essentional in our individuality, in Our Own Way, in that which we add as a unique expression of creation to The Way – by being that which we are. We can’t fail at being that which we are. It’s a done deal. We are that we are, each and every one of us, perfect in our own creativity and Being-ness as a part of the great dance of All That Is.

We can, however, change up our own dance to make it more fun, more comfortable, more fulfilling, more expansive and authentic to the core essence of our own unique song. Fear throws off the music of our own soul because it causes us to clamp down on our own flow as it attempts to move us. Our mind, entrained into a physical system wired for survival, woos us into being afraid instead of moving to the tune of our inner song and thus dancing in perfect rhythm with the rest of creation.

When you dance out of rhythm with your true self, and thus creation, it tends to not be as fun a ride. You’re still dancing! It’s still perfect because it’s yours. But it may not be as wonderfully joyful and free as it could be when you’re doing the Salsa and the rest of creation happens to be waltzing, at the time.

So…that said…what to do? I don’t know Each person is totally unique, and I know this has to do with being a unique, individual self while still connecting with others and living a day to day life. I know it has to do with not letting fear get the better of us and stopping us from thinking new, original thoughts of our own… It has to do with taking those leaps and choosing those dreams over the safe and the known…

Nature has a system for helping us naturally move out of this, integrated into the very DNA of every individual alive. Our very bodies fit its dimensional quantuming – The Golden Mean.

It’s a spiral – kind of. Ever in motion, ever expanding upon itself. Notice how it suddenly shifts into a new space as it leaves the orbit of its original spiral and heads off to make a new even larger spiral? That new, larger spiral will contain the original as its core center. At the very center of the little spiral you see there is an even tinier little spiral – infinitely small, and infinitely huge. This is The Way of creation. The natural flow and the dance to which we are a part. However…

Our minds tend to enjoy the Known. It’s safe there, we know the drill of our original spiral, have it all mapped out and don’t tend to want to leave it behind when the time comes because heading out into the great unknown of creating a whole new spiral is Scary. That’s where the magic happens, though! That’s where we go from dancing the two step, to tangoing, to waltzing!

You can likely look back in your own life and point out those times where this took place for you. Many of them are mapped out by time itself, by the growth of your body vehicle that takes you from time to time and expression to expression. From baby to toddler. From toddler to child. From child to adolescent. However, we became a bit hooked on our idea of time, and our idea of ‘I Have Arrived’, when it comes to Adulthood.

I Have Arrived is a state which everyone covets, but no one is ever sure they’re at. We all want it, and we search for it – that space where the mind grows quiet and we can finally relax and fear nothing. Nothing to challenge us anymore – We Have Arrived. Nothing to scare us anymore, we know the score, and are experts about our space. We want to be there pretty badly…and once we think we maybe have it though aren’t sure but hope it’s true…we really don’t want to leave it. It is the Dance of the Known Path. The problem is – it gets old. Quickly.

It spins around and around itself, losing steam as it continues to re-create the same thing over and over. That experience that was SO good just isn’t as exciting or interesting on the 15th go around. We return to it because it’s comfortable…we feel good there, or at least we did… so we try to re-create it.

Less and less energy flows through us as we clamp down, refusing to launch out of ourselves and reach for the ne and unknown. “No!” we say, “I’ve arrived! This is it, it’s what I’ve been striving for. Now I have it and I am not letting go.”

“But there’s more for you…” creation whispers, tenderly dancing with us but able to offer it less and less of itself as we continue to revisit an echo of a past creation. “Why spin where you have already spun?”

What it all comes down to is – in truth, our identity is an idea in motion, and not intended to be fixed concept. Our minds try to fix that concept in place, to pin it down into a safe and known construct, because their basic programming is designed to keep us and our species alive.

When we listen to the song of fear and limitation that this original structure sings, our flow of identity tends to get backed up on itself. We reach one level and go for a new but very similar one because our primary mental mind says that what we want most is to maintain our comfort of The Known and Safe(r).

The mental primal mind had its heyday in the caveman era. A new day is dawning, and the old ways of being are now on a rapid decline. We know now that there’s more than we thought we knew – on a level that goes beyond thinking. We know now that there is more for us, more than just procreation and survival. There is creation.

Our souls are waking up, and their song, the song of our essence, is slowly but surely convincing us that we are safe enough to reach for the heavens – and we will find it. We’ll discover it’s been here all along – right in our own backyards. In the smiling eyes of a neighbor. In the feel of a breeze against our cheek – it’s all there. And we are a part of it.

In just the perfect way as the graceful the unfolding of a rose’s petals, we too are unfolding. As individuals. As a a species. As a world. We aren’t just knocking on heaven’s door – we’re in the process of walking through it, and in so doing we’re realizing …there is no door.

Quotes to Live By ~ The Truth of The Healer

Quotes to Live By

Edward Bach (dawn note – he of bach flower essences, if were to make a guess) wrote this beautiful statement on August 4th, 1935.

No man would be a leader amongst others for any length of time unless he were more expert in his special branch of knowledge than his followers: whether it be army, statesmanship, or whatever it may be.

It therefore follows to be a leader against trouble, difficulties, disease, persecution, and so forth, the leader must still have a greater knowledge, a more intimate experience than, pray God, his followers need ever suffer.

If we follow our own instincts, our own wishes, our own thoughts, our own desires, we should never know anything but joy and health. Health depends on being in harmony with our souls.

“It’s the song in your heart that wants you to help make
yourself a better person, and to help other people do the same.
Everybody has one.”– The late Mattie Stepanek

Angels of Awakening Radio ~ Episode: Awakening with Dawn

This ended up being a very personal episode, as Awakening with Dawn took some time getting back to its roots and setting the stage for future episodes. AwD is not just a story of awakening, that would cause one to infer that the awakening has already happened! In truth, AwD’s purpose is to give a space in which an awakening with may take place. Not just a ‘go see someone and wake up in their presence’ – there’s a real with involved here. This episode brings the core of AwD, and that experience, to light more than any AwD episode thus far.

If you feel drawn, if you’re interested, in really getting down in there into the nitty gritty of Awakening to one’s authentic self along with someone else…this is a great episode to listen to. This is where the magic happens – and though it may not always be pretty, it has its own kind of beauty.

Episode: Awakening with Dawn

Description: This segment of Awakening with Dawn is dedicated to exploring the ideas of recognition of self as a driving desire, and the nature of personal evolution. I’ll also be talking about habitual patterns of being that no longer serve our greatest good, how and why they’re created, and ways to wake up to them and let them go.

Angels of Awakening Radio ~ Episode: Stories from the Heart

This episode seems designed for sitting back, closing your eyes and just listening. If you listen closely, you can almost sense the crackling of a campfire, and feel as the wind plays with your hair as you’re wisked away into new (old?) worlds and shown exotic events that somehow seem close to home. Agnes joined us for a magical hour of storytelling from the heart, stories written by her own hand, and spoken with passion and a reverence for the messages they contain.

For more stories from Agnes, you can visit with her and listen to her live, twice a week, in the virtual reality world of Second Life where she goes by the name Alarah Weatherwax. To contact her directly, you can email her at healerwarrior@shaktishanti.demon.co.uk.

Guest Segment ~ ‘…Remember who you are!’

Drawn from a Starbucks Coffee Cup – The Way I See It #250

In reality, hell is not such an intention of God as it is an invention of man. God is love and people are precious. Authentic truth is not so much taught or learned as it is remembered. Somewhere in your pre-incarnate consciousness you were loved absolutely because you were. Loved absolutely, and in reality, you still are! Remember who you are!

- Bishop Carlton Pearson

Angels of Awakening Radio ~ Episode: Intuitive Astrology

Episode: Intuitive Astrology

Description: We are not alone, left to wander the unknowns of this life unguided. The sun and moon, the planets, even the stars, play gentle roles in our personal (and global!) evolution as individuals, and as a species. Gentle guiding hands coax us to our next highest expressions – sometimes despite ourselves!

It ended up that our guest for this show had to cancel at the last minute! I had an hour or so to decide – do the show anyway, and share what I know of intuitive astrology…or cancel. I chose to do the show. I wrote notes for myself so I had something to go by, and they’re a great synopsis for the show itself, so, here they are!

—

Hello and welcome to Angels of Awakening. Our guest for the day has been called away on urgent business at the last minute. And so…instead of canceling, I’m going to share what I know of intuitive astrology. Keep in mind, I’m not an intuitive astrologer. This is all me and what I have come to believe to be true, at this time.

—

THE MUSIC OF THE SPHERES

All that is, is vibration.
- light
- sound
- color
- Us

It resonates. We resonate. And so do the planets. Subtle but powerful, like the hum of the fridge or the ticking of a clock, so ever-present you don’t notice them unless all is quiet. Or you’re paying attention. But they are a part of your experience none-the-less.

Each planet has a vibration.

The planets have all been around long before humanity, gently humming their vibrations, bathing a world yet formed in their tones, each like a barely audible tuning fork, adding their voice to the song that has shaped humanity. They are primal, and reach us on that level, even today, just as they always have.

—

WHAT IS INTUITIVE ASTROLOGY?

Astrology is very much all about mathametics. Where the art comes in to the profession is when the astrologer derives meaning and expression from the results of the computations.

An intuitive astrologer takes it a step farther. For them, the computations and information comes second, and intuition comes first. They tap into the music of the world, and into the music of the planets, and move with them together long enough to get a sense of what things mean on a deeper level. A level that logic can never reach.

Taken to an individual level, the intuitive astrologer moves and dances with the planets, the world – and you. Drawing upon your song and feeling its resonances, its tendencies, and how it moves with the song of the moon, planets and stars.

—

BIRTH CHARTS

- Each person is formed as well, like a drop in the ocean of humanity. Both moving as an individual and moving with the whole, You grow and become, bathed by the gentle song of each planet.

The instant you are born, the music begins for you in earnest. The moving and the shaping – the becoming. The first tone you hear, just like a baby bird learning the sound of its mother’s call, you tune in on a primal level to the song of the planets in play at that time. Some farther, some closer, different blends and nuances of song so incredibly individual and effecting you, as a person, in a very special way.

And as those planets move in their orbits, you are drawn in different ways to the subtle change in the music. Drawn to dance, to be – a structure for your growth into that being that you wanted to become before you were even born.

—

DAILY ASTROLOGY REPORTS

- And so, where the planets are, on any given day, have an overall effect on everyone – and also effect YOU in particular in a very special, indivisualized way that is just perfect for you. Creation is always, ALWAYS, moving to its next highest potential. And so are you.

—
THE MOON AND SUN

The moon
- feminine
- the past
- Reflection
- reflects a light that has already come and gone from the earth

The sun
- masculine
- Now/Future
- Action
- it is the light that is shed upon what is taking place and being done right now, and right soon.

—

ECLIPSES

Lunar eclipse
- Eclipsing the Past
- For a moment, the past is gone. Unseen. No longer gently vibrating in your mind, you are free to see the Now as it is, shed of ties that may bind you to repeating behaviors and ideas that no longer work NOW.

Solar eclipse
- Eclipsing the Future
- For a moment, the Future doesn’t exist. We are left just as we are, with what we’ve got, NOW.

Eclipses are a chance to take stock. Who are you without a past? Who are you without a future? Who are you NOW.

—

MERCURY RETROGRADE

- Communication, inside and out
- a chance to reset, with the lines down
