Wayne Dyer’s latest offering, The Shift, discusses the lifelong passage from Ambition to Meaning. Rather, a key phrase of his is “From Ambition to Meaning”, of which each word headlines the four chapters in this concise yet thorough piece. Dr. Dyer explains our innocent beginning in the “From”, moves us through Ego-driven “Ambition”, illustrates the fundamental change that takes place in the “to” phase of our lives, and ends with our Higher Self’s “Meaning”.

Dr. Dyer successfully packs a wonderful explanation of this journey into a quick 119 pages, which are easily read over the span of a few days, even if you are unfamiliar with most of his work. The Shift has high re-read value, as something can be taken from the work each and every time. His explanation of the Ego portion of our lives, which he explains as “Edge God Out”, will strike to the very core anyone at that point in their life. I have recently begun to feel the pull of the “To” phase of my life, questioning why I am driven toward physical goals such as wealth, possessions and material goods, when nothing on this Earth is permanent. Dr. Dyer’s thoughts on values and moving into “Purpose” are his own, but have been echoed through time by many figures, including Buddha, Jesus, Lao-tzu, Shakespeare, Einstein and even Dr. Seuss.

This book shares its name with a movie that Dr. Dyer had put out in 2009. The movie is referenced, but not rehashed. This book acts as a great companion to the movie; both can stand alone, but serve as good aides to each other. I was asked to review this book by Hay House Publishing, and was sent a copy free in the mail. Previously I had watched the movie, and was pleasantly surprised when this compact little work of art made it to my door. It is wonderful realizing that I am moving toward the “Meaning” portion of my life, yet I realize that the journey is the most amazing part. Dr. Dyer’s gift of writing must truly be read to be believed, and even though The Shift isn’t his standard fare, it is truly marvelous.

Project Stabilize Mother Earth...

Recently, while on Facebook, reviewing the comments of our friends, we noticed Colette Baron Reid’s card of the day, “The Lady of Lighting.” As we are admiring the beautiful artwork of the card and reminiscing of the last day this card was drawn, the same day we received the for Higherlight.org we hear “KNOCK, KNOCK, KNOCK,” not at the door, but the window. Startled, we approach the window and see a wood pecker knocking at the window. We here at Higherlight are spiritual enough to recognize a sign when one comes along. This led to Googling, “Woodpecker meaning,” brings us to a page that states this simple message, “Time to breathe life into a project.” We hear that message, are grateful and follow that Divine Guidance. We’ve wanted to place this particular project up since the earthquake in Haiti, but were unsure of how it would be received by the intention senders. Doreen Virtue confirmed how important this project was earlier this week through her Daily Oracle Readings. Thank you Doreen!

You probably have noticed the extreme earthquake activity since the beginning of this year. Therefore, we are asking your assistance in sending intention of Divine Light to our Mother Earth to ease the build up of pressure within the Earth plates so this pressure can be released gently without further significant damage or harm.

Please join us; we know that we can make a tremendous positive impact! http://www.higherlight.org/project-stabilize-mother-earth

DEALING WITH EGO ISSUES...

This week when listening to one of my favorite psychic internet radio shows, Phyllis King (Phyllis, when you read this ~ we love you!) she said something that really resonated with me. She read an email question on air and it related to an individual who talked about a particularly negative co-worker who was constantly spewing bad vibes. Phyllis’s response was profound and one I will never forget. She said, “Why are you allowing someone else to determine how you feel inside?” I thought to myself: that is so TRUE! I had just had a jolting negative experience with an individual the previous weekend and that episode was still repeating over and over again in my mind to the point of obsession. Why do we care what and how other people feel about us? I came up with two reasons why this happens. Number one: we are programmed at a very young age to be people pleasers and not to rock the boat. Number two: our ego would like us to believe that we are perfect, without flaw and therefore everyone else should share that view. When that does not happen we get offended and upset. As I contemplate this question, I pick up this month’s free Wayne Dyer book from Hay House, “The Shift,” and it says this: “When you begin have feelings of being offended or upset, take notice of where they occur in your body. Then turn your attention away from that situation and focus on acceptance and love.” I love Divine synchronicity! Leave it to Wayne Dyer to teach us how to deal with our ego!

ILLNESS OR CELL MEMORY?

In my late teens, I was introduced to the books, “Journey of Souls,” by Dr. Michael Newton and “Many Lives Many Masters,” by Brian Weiss. Up until that point in my life I had never considered the belief in reincarnation. The information contained in both books made a great deal of sense to me and I found myself thrilled at the idea of tapping into the abundance of universal knowledge contained within the subconscious via hypnosis. I specifically found the case studies contained in these books fascinating at how the subconscious memory contained and sometimes retained memories from past lives that were extremely problematic for individuals in this life. Of particular interest to me were the case studies of folks who were suffering from debilitating yet unexplained phobias. Through past life regression hypnosis, they were able to quickly recall the source of that phobia stemming from a past life. Once it was acknowledged, they were instantly cured and released from these fears as if my magic.

This information poured the foundation for this story I’m about to share with you that absolutely changed my life. Many years ago, I worked with a lady, we’ll call her Sharon. Sharon had an adult daughter, we’ll call her Katie, who experienced a past life regression hypnosis session with one of Sylvia Browne’s Ministers. During the session, Katie went to a time in this life when she was with her ex-boyfriend, we’ll call him James. Almost the instant Katie met James, Katie began experiencing significant heart problems, to the point she had to have a pacemaker installed in her early 30’s. She had absolutely no heart trouble up until this point and no family history. When she and James broke off the relationship, he heart went back to normal. It was discovered in this past life regression hypnosis session, however that in an immediate previous life, Katie and James were married. Katie had cheated on James and James caught Katie with her lover and shot her dead, through her HEART!

Up until this point, I knew that past lives effected our mental health, but I had no idea that past lives effected our physical health and certainly to an extreme extent such as this one. We really have no idea how many diseases, ailments, aches and pains that we experience have a direct correlation to our past lives. Every living person has what’s called cell memory which is responsible for carrying issues from life to life.

There are a myriad of ways to conduct this research. You can try meditation or asking the question over and over right before you fall asleep in order to obtain the answer in your dreams. I find that if I write the question and place it under my pillow within three nights I receive the answer to my question. You could also try a past life psychic reading or past life regression hypnosis. Not everyone has the ability to be hypnotized. I find this is true in many people who have excessive nervous energy and cannot easily relax. Sylvia Browne’s book “Psychic Healing” states that we can go into hypnosis and recall a time, either in this life or another life when we had optimal heal and recall that cell memory into our lives at this very moment.

Certainly not all disease and other physical problems are caused by cell memory, but if you or someone you love is suffering from an unexplained sudden onset of illness, it would not hurt to check out the source of that issue. Sometimes we plan illness in our lifetimes in order to learn (or attempt to learn) life lessons. Other times we are bombarded with negativity and actually attract illness and disease. It is comforting to know that no matter what you are suffering from almost every issue can be remedied by researching the source and taking steps to correct the patterns that bind you. I am a firm believer in “Seek and ye shall find!” I was encouraged by my Guides to write this article and know this will plant the seed of health in your future! Happy Wellness!
