dear doris. how do you say no to things? how do you live with less? love jade, margaret river, australia.
dear jade,
the answer below is channelled from my higher self doris in part I and II. this post relates back to issue #6 on collecting things while this one focuses on the flip side of letting go. kindly note that ‘god’ can be substituted for any vernacular or venerable you prefer.
part I.
freedom is a phrase uttered and muttered without much thought or actualisation that it sits right in your hands. the power to say yes, or no thank you — lies, sits, resides and confides in you. don’t be afraid to put your palms out and lead with your hands on your heart and create art, or set yourself apart by not joining the ranks of your so-called superiors, or inferiors or extravagant interiors.
be comfortable knowing you can be exactly who you are, as you are. don’t allow shallow thoughts and figures to rule your world. when they say the world is your oyster, they really mean the pearl. you are the pearl amongst the grit and the grime. don’t be alarmed if others revoke or revolt against you. don’t fear their wrath that belongs only to them.
anger exists on earth so that we can learn a lesson of worth. the more worth or value we place upon something or someone or some-object the more ‘anger’ it can hold. the more value we place on it, the more prone to irrational behaviour. the odds are always stacked against you.
if you don’t value an item — the less inclined you are to react, revoke or provoke someone by ‘owning’ it. ownership on earth creates friction and resentment the world over. we as humans struggle to see value in our own lives, in our own eyes, as children of god/source. so we seek to possess, take hold and go for gold — literal gold, the physical gold — not the heavenly gold that we are showered upon in birth and through our lifetimes, if we open our third eye to see it.
lifetimes it can take, many lives over, to understand the nature of money and possession and how they became intertwined with thick tangible rope. a rope so thick you cannot cut it. but you can loosen your grip. we can as humans, let go — if you wish. the iron grip on money — seen as possession — goes back deep into our psyche as human beings.
before mankind we did not require stones, jewels, extravagance. we had it all in the spirit realm. however when god/source consciousness sought to understand itself, it devised a way to distinguish between the divine and the devil, darkness and lightness, yin and yang — you get the opposing drift. so god/source created earth etcetera then we had money to buy sh** we needed. then it went beyond needs. we developed wants. this wanton thirst for things was insatiable and connected to the sacral chakra — the propensity, desire and lust for things, the bling bling and the cha-chings.
however not everyone can have all of this, as wealth is dispersed in a pyramid system and always has, as we cannot manage to control or contribute in a consistent way. new souls are constantly entering earth and desiring. our job is not to stop them from consuming sh** they don’t need but to show them lovingly, how divine and how free it truly feels to have less — to show them how undefined you are by your possessions. to show them how less rigid and confined you are by this hierarchical structure. that you can exist outside of it and dwell in comfort knowing that it does not define your existence — that it exists to teach young souls lessons and that’s it.
