Healing the Mass Consciousness
From New Age Village
Channeled by Shepherd Hoodwin (during a live chatroom session)
Sometimes, you are mostly in your own sphere, feeling your own feelings. However, a large part of the time, the feelings and energies of other people wash into your sphere to some degree.
The amount varies from person to person. Some are designed to attract the energies of others so as to offer healing to them. This is often true of those who are highly sensitive--the sensitivity is part of that design. It can be overwhelming before it is mastered.
The spiritual path is about discovering your own power to transform whatever is in your space, whether it is just your own energies or those of humanity as a whole--the mass consciousness--or, most frequently, something in between. Regardless, since you are an inseparable part of the whole, the work you do within your own sphere has an impact on the whole. Not only do other energies wash in, but yours wash out. As you impact those energies with love, truth, and beauty, you offer healing to the whole.
<ShepherdHoodwin> MICHAEL: There is, among many of you, a greater well-being and free movement than since the last chat through Shepherd. Such things are cyclical to some degree. No doubt many are relieved by the recent U.S. election. However, there is more to it than that. There is a veil lifting, a density releasing, that reflects internal growth collectively.
Some of you have been discussing The Secret, a film about the power each one has to create his/her life through magnetization. This is not the cause of the veil lifting, but an effect: you are reminding yourselves of the power of consciousness.
"In the beginning was the Word," or consciousness. Everything boils down to consciousness. It is not just your conscious thoughts that create your reality, but the sum total of your consciousness, including the feelings you're aware of and those you aren't. However, we do not imply that you "should" judge your consciousness if you aren't in bliss all the time. That's not really the point. Simply observing your thoughts and feelings, as best you are able, and seeing how they are reflected in your outer world, is the beginning of taking control.
Consciousness is never "perfect" in the sense of being the ultimate. It is always evolving as the universe as a whole evolves. There is always the opportunity to fine-tune consciousness in various ways. There is a balance to be found as you align your thinking, feeling, and action with truth, love, and beauty. On the one hand, these quintessential energies do not stamp down their less elevated manifestations--they raise them up. So in taking responsibility for creating one's reality, there is a sort of alchemy as the higher heals the lower. It isn't instantaneous. It isn't "Put on a happy face and have a good attitude, no matter what you feel, goddammit!" It is a gentle process. On the other hand, there *is* sometimes hard work to be done, facing the mirror and making changes in ways of being that may be deeply entrenched. The greater the willingness one has to examine self and allow changes, the better one's results will be.
Beginning to face our limiting beliefs and ways of being can be quite difficult. We may feel like we've lost our moorings. Quickly, however, it gets easier. The fast track to spiritual growth is to allow every assumption we have about life to be up for grabs. It is not so much that we wallow in self-doubt but that we learn to live in a quiet place that is beyond beliefs and assumptions, anchored in the infinite and eternal. We no longer need to "be right" about our beliefs. Although we may have a rather high degree of confidence in many of them, having already tested them well, our sense of self doesn't depend upon them. We are willing to try on others for size. We are anchored in eternal truths and let the temporal "dance" around us.
One of the kinds of beliefs that we can let go of is limiting ideas about what we're capable of doing or being. Anything is possible. Another is about what can and cannot be healed or changed. Although it's good to use common sense and to not have rigid expectations, it's also good to stay open to anything.
