Serving Two Masters

It is written "One cannot serve two masters." Who are the masters then? Your Spirit and Ego. The difference between the two are your spirit is your connection to God and the ego is your connection to the earth plain. So, every moment we get to make a choice on who we serve. Because we are animals, we are driven to all the earth plain consciousness. It's natural and what keeps you imprisoned here on this plain.
Don't get me wrong, things of the earth are needed to sustain our bodies. What we don't see however, are these things are provided to us by Spirit. The ego is made a part of us in the physical for basic survival but it has moved beyond this mode. The ego wishes to show you are better than anyone else or superior to anyone. The ego lacks the basic spiritual aspects of love, caring, and compassion. Driven by physical desires that can never be quench. To make and have more. Unfortunately, the ego will keep you running in circles as it can never be satisfied. Therefore, keeping us in the dark.
At some point there is an awakening. This is where your spirit becomes more vocal. To follow or search out a way to the truth of our existence. Our spirit holds a higher elevation of love, caring, compassion just to name a few. This is the realm of God. So, a battle occurs inside of us to find out more and more of who we are and where we come from. Our spirit is the guide for our discoveries or more plainly, our remembering. To live in love and peace is where we are guided. You see our needs are always met. Anything that we need is brought to us by spirit. Yet it can be hard for us to see this. The ego wishes to take full credit.
Which master do you choose to follow? The decision is yours.

Beyond the Outer Limits #3

Now during your walk through the reality you live in, you have the power to make changes. The opening comes through the conscious choices as you live in the now. Sometimes we are given the view of how things will be as we make more and more conscious choices. This is where the power lies for us. The Power of Choice.
With the power of choice comes great responsibility. You are already learning this as you take responsibility for where you are today. Consciousness brings to us the unlimited opportunities to love, grow, and create right from where it all starts. Inside of each of us. How do you know if your choices are for your better and the better of others? Simple. How you feel after the decision is made. A word of caution needs to made here. Your feelings before a decision is made will dictate the outcome. If you are feeling love, compassion, empathy, peace, joy, or happiness the outcome will be at a higher caring level and bring more of those opportunities into your life. If, however, the decision is being made from a point of anger, sadness, jealousy, or vengeance the outcome will be of a lower nature and outcome.
It is important to be conscious of who you are, how you feel, and what you believe. This has always been the starting point to eliminate any limitations. You see we all are so gifted with this great power of being conscious and making decisions/free will. Think about it! You are the creator of your own reality and the conscious or unconscious choices made create who and where you are.
I challenge you to see the potential of who you are and what can be done in the light. Spirit has given us all we need to live, love , be healthy and happy! We have just forgotten. No one is excluded. Use the key and unlock all the potential you have.

Pick a Consciousness.. Any Consciousness!

Do you know that you have a choice to pick a consciousness at all? If so, how often do you think about it. We live in a world full of consciousness' always present around us, and is just a thought away! To prove this.... just think of something, some event or some person that makes you angry for a moment..........................
After doing that I'm sure you felt the consciousness of anger within you and possibly around you. Now.. think of something, an event, or someone loving,..................
can you feel that consciousness?


Each and every consciousness has its own energy and is an "entity" in itself... that we have the choice to feed into with our own emotional, thought, physicl and spiritual energies. I personally veiw these awareness' or consciousness to be of cloudlike substance, hovering around and above us at all times. Love would be pink and light and fuzzy, hate/anger would be heavy and dark and sludgy. Perhaps you can imagine your own consciousness in it's shape, form and consistancy. It can be fun to discover how you see/experience them yourself.

Consciousness has been growing and evolving since the dawn of life itself.. We have been created from and through consciousness. The Earth has a consciousness, trees have a consciousness, stones, animals.. all living beings have a consciousness that they share within the whole ultimately participating in the purose of our evolution. Each and every living being is a universe unto itself. Each sentient life has the power to interact and project various consciousness that communicates the current reality of the being. In short... what you believe to be true about you and the world.. about anything..is the consciousness that you not only "buy" into with your emotional, mental, spiritual, and physical energies... but also feed into as well. As you own more and more of any given consciousness, you attract others in like! You will draw poeple into your life that share a similar consciousness, and most times their presence helps you to get stuck in an old consciousness as those very people keep reconfirming the belief in it, YOUR belief in it. Birds of a feather and all that. Long term this could be a good thing or but also a bad thing depending on the consciousness.

If you believe that Love is the higher Law, and it is your strongest belief... you are most likely involved in a lot of loving interactions... you unconsciously as well as consciously seek them out and also project this from you.. and at the same time you are feeding/supporting that consciousness of love that is in the world. The consciousness of love gets bigger and bigger as time goes by and IS available to all that buy into it, whenever they choose to, consciously or unconsciously. Prayer is a powerful example of feeding into a consciousness, and what you feed into you also recieve from. The more you feed into a specific consciousness the more you carry that consciousness and its energy.

Even though you buy and support the love consciousness most of the time, this doesn't protect you fully from other consciousness' like its polar opposite hate/anger. This is where you get to exercise free will "choice" to buy into any consciousness. Think about it, if you are experiencing a bad day (participating in the consciousness of anger) and someone crosses your path presenting you with the opportunity to focus on "love consciousness", you have a choice at that moment to switch into that consciousness or not, It is your choice! There are no scapegoats here to make you do or not do anything, it all comes down to your right to free will choice. You choose to or not to participate your energy in whichever consciousness at every moment of your life.

Today you have been given the opportunity to be more aware of consciousness. Today you co-create your future days. Today you may be holding onto some old consciousness' that don't serve your needs of today. The beauty of conscious buying of new consciousness... is that it's just a thought away.

Think about something you wish to create in your life, and then think of the consciousness that would support that creation. Test the consciousness out by imagining what it would look like, feel like. Think of the people who already carry that consciousness and surround yourself with those people, new people. This may feel uncomfortable at first because it will be something new to your "old way consciousness" but it's worth exploring if not only for the sake of seeking out your potential to "be".

You will be surprised at how quickly you begin to assimilate to that consciousness and own it in a comfortable way within your own daily stride. If you linger too long in the consciousness of your past, you create more of the same. You already know how it works, and unfortunately people tend to stick to what works.. even if it's painful, they know the route well and what to expect on that path. But I challenge you today... to open up your mind and experiment with at least one new consciousness. It won't be long before you see the proof of that consciousness, the evidence of its existence in the world... and how it feels to try on and carry the goodness of it!

Beyond the Outer Limits #2

As you move through the events of where you are today, take the time to be conscious of what occurred, your beliefs, and how they effected the outcome, and take responsibility for it. You see, whether you are conscious or not, you still participated in all the events of your life to date.
Now is the time to be present and conscious of what you do, what you believe, and how you feel. It is your belief structure that has brought you to this place of being. This structure can be changed and you are the only one who can do it. Spirit, God, Jesus, Buddha, or whomever you believe to be your guiding light, is here to guide and assist you. Because you have the will to choose, it is up to you to make the decision.
As I was told by a friend of mine, the path is the narrow one which anyone can walk. When I say narrow, it is in no way of being limited. You see, the outer limits are only created by your inner limits. That's what is being discussed. To open your world through consciousness and awareness, the path is open. You hold the key.

Spirits

A lot of people don't realize that all day long they are in contact with Spirit. Not just the Spirit in a human suit next to you but also the unseen Spirit that is always around you in the form of energy.
Just as in your daily walk you will encounter those "good and bad people" the same goes for the unseen Spirits. The Natural Laws of Cause and Effect and Law of Vibration among others, are in place for everyone when attracting/drawing a "consciousness" from both the living and the dead.
When your actions and behaviors are rooted from authentic positive intentions and agendas, you will attract those Spirit helpers and loved ones from the other side that assist you in your goodness because they are in alignment with that "consciousness" you are sharing and adding to.
An obvious sympton of expressing mainly positive intent creates an organic goodness within your day/life that is without much personal struggle in certain or all areas of your life. Assistance from good Spirits (here on earth and on the other side) are wide open and supportive of you in the way of good as you are supporting a positive/expansive consciousness. Spirit's guidance and support helps you but also helps them to progress on thier journey to higher realm of be-ing as we are always in the balance of giving and recieving, sowing and reaping.
If your intentions and agendas are rooted in "fear of lack" and "fear of loss", you can be certain your actions and behaviors will display this. This consciousness is restrictive and painful to your Spirit and others. The obvious symptom of what would be drawn would be lower vibratory Spirits. You can tell you have some around when things are not feeling natural, many things go wrong at once, personal items go missing often, accidents occurr and you would generally have an irritable/frustrated nature about you through most your days, as this generally becomes a long term consciousness you carry. Most times people are not aware of the symptoms of what is going on. as many numb out over time and have a general dissociation from their physical body and presence. Self awareness is key in all that you do consciously, as long as you are conscious you always remain in a freedom place of free will and choice. Once you numb out, it's easy to believe you have "no choice" in any given situation.
In general, we draw both positive and negative Spirits around us all the time, because we express a natural duality by nature this cannot be avoided. With awareness we can become more conscious of our actions and intentions/agendas and thereby feel more empowered by our future "conscious" choices to come from a place of good intentions/agendas.
Everyone has "free will" to choose what they draw.. simply by the intention one acts upon. You have the freedom to choose to embrace positive Spirits/people into your life or negative ones. Remember, whatever consciousness you buy into does and will affect you whether you realize it or not.
Free will is very important to understand and enforce in your life. Free will makes "you" responsible for all you co-create in positivity or negativity. Use your free will consciously.
As for the Spirits you draw, your free will applies to this realm too, as you have the free will to rebuke anything or any Spirit from your consciousness.. your life, all you have to do is exercise your free will and rebuke/reject it from a place of your conviction. But remember, you need to remain mindful of the intent that brought about and supported the negativity that manifested so you don't re-create more of the same.

Beyond the Outer Limits

To move beyond the outer limits, one must first know the inner. Each day you are given the opportunity to know your true self. Do you take it? This is the question to ask. You see we are a very powerful being. The right of choice and free will. No one can stop you from finding you own true essence except you. So, to venture out into the outer limits you must first go beyond your own self imposed limits.
There are many who can only guide you. You need to take the first step. The kingdom of heaven is within you. If it is not, how can it be out there? Take the time to look at where you are. Do not make any judgements, just look at where you are at and take responsibility for your being there. This is the first step. While in this space notice how you fell and what your thinking. Here that small voice while your in that space. That is your spirit talking to you. Take time and listen.
You can do this anytime and when you are ready, you can go forward on your wonderful journey. This is the journey to remebering who you are and from here you will find there are no limitations!!!!!!!!

Psychic Development Classes

When it comes down to being psychic or a medium or both, it is true that everyone has the ability to become,... or strengthen their own abilities/gifts. With knowledge, awareness, and proper guidance you can expound on any gift you hold.. in good!
One thing that is very important to know is that self-awareness has a lot to do with being psychic.
When I lead classes on psychic development, they always have a strong focus on being able to be very self-aware in the classroom. There is no room for self-doubt, in fact I tell my students that it's simply not allowed in the time they are there.
Taking a psychic development class (with the right instructor) is and should be a wonderfully empowering discovery, a self-discovery as well as a discovery of all the levels of consciousness and states of be-ing in the world.
Focusing your energies on psychic development is only a part of what you will discover and enhance within you. Not only do you learn a great many ways to refine your connection with Spirit.. but also it enhances the way you communicate who you are through your newfound self awareness. Sure,.. you learn about clairvoyance, clairsentience, clairaudience, and claircognizance but in my class... you actually experience it right there and take that experience and learning home to practice.
Self discovery in itself is amazing and then to learn the great many ways of how you have been guided all this time and just didn't realize it .. is something of great awe to experience. Unfortunately there seems to be a pattern of people getting older and numbing themselves out not just to the world, but to their own selves. Even if your goal is not to become the most famous psychic in the world, you can still derive much pleasure from getting to know YOU and YOUR special bond with Spirit.. with God!
Whether you take psychic development classes with me specifically or not, I encourage you to take the journey at some point in your life with whomever you choose. If you do, you will discover that your life will take on a whole new meaning through a strong sense of connectedness and that true inner joy can begin to shine out from within you!

My Psychic Development classes begin the first Friday evening of July from 7:30-9 and continue each and every Friday until the last Friday in August. This is an "open" class - which means you can come to 1 or 2 or all classes. The fee is just $10 a class.. that's right, you read right.. only $10 per class. I offer an excellent jam packed class each time! classes are held in Holbrook, NY at www.holbrookwellnesscenter.com directions are on the site.
You can reserve a seat in advance if you like by emailing me at Samantha@illuminatingspirit.com. First come first served...seating is limited.

Many blessings to You,
Samantha
