“Between stimulus and response, there is a space.  In that space lies our freedom and power to choose our response.  In our response lies our growth and freedom.

Viktor Frankl, psychiatrist and Nazi death camp survivor.

 As Ezekiel has always said, the word “responsibility” means very simply, respond to you own abilities. To be responsible for another’s choices and responses or blame someone else for your circumstances is to deny your power and your freedom, the very thing you often blame on others.

 Another one of my favorites that applies here is:  If you are standing in garbage, pick it up, it’s yours!  Your response to any situation is your choice and only you are responsible for its journey.

 I have always found this space Victor Frankl describes to be the true point of power in your life.  Once you have discovered an unhealthy pattern you keep repeating, it is in this pregnant moment that you have also created an opportunity to choose to respond in a new way. Take responsibility for your life and your choices and be conscious of the moment of shift, the moment when you can change. As you feel this moment and respond more consciously, you actually become more powerful, free and healthy.  You have the power to redirect your life in every moment. It is a choice. Certainly, if a survivor of a concentration camp can come to this understanding after all that suffering so can we.

Hello Heartlights Friends,

An amazing new book has been released and I felt guided to pass it on to those of you to whom it calls.  In these times of change and upheaval, Gaia (Mother Earth) speaks nurturing words of understanding.  Please Check out theWebsite to read Mary Crook’s channeled Messages from Gaia!

**FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE**

Readers Invited to Attune Themselves to Nature

New nonfiction turns to Mother Earth for guidance; author interprets and shares her messages

IOWA CITY, Iowa – Devastating earthquakes, raging forest fires, crushing tsunamis and other natural disasters of increasingly epic proportions have dominated headlines in recent months, and some speculate that nature’s power comes as a consequence of humans’ mistreatment of the Earth and its ecosystems. Here to counter that assertion with a reassuring message of hope and healing comes Messages from Gaia: Wisdom and Love from our Earth Mother (published by Balboa Press), the new nonfiction from author, educator and naturalist Mary Kirkpatrick.

Taking inspiration from William Wordsworth and his poem that implores readers to “Come forth into the light of things. Let Nature be your teacher,” Kirkpatrick takes that idea, expands and applies it to the modern world for a whole new generation.

“For countless centuries people have talked of our Earth Mother,” Kirkpatrick writes. “Now she speaks to us, sharing words of wisdom, tenderness and deep love.” In 2008, she began to receive what she asserts are important messages from Mother Earth about the future of humanity and what needs to be done in order to ensure that it is a bright one filled with transcendence and joy.

In just over 100 pages, Messages from Gaia departs from a traditional chapter-by-chapter format to embrace a more fluid approach that promotes self-reflection and thoughtful perusal. Poetry, meditations, personal anecdotes and photographs all combine to impart a clear message that encourages environmental responsibility, global solidarity and, most of all, an appreciation for nature and attunement to the timeless wisdom Kirkpatrick has tapped into.

Refreshingly idealistic and pragmatic at once, Messages from Gaia are more pertinent than ever. Discover more in this timely new book.

Advance praise for Messages from Gaia:

Mary Kirkpatrick has captured the heart of Gaia through her own heart. Every message reflects the deep love and understanding that dwells within the human/Gaia relationship. The messages are affirming, poignant and beautiful. This book is a keeper!

—Nancy Joy Hefron, author, The Wounded Heart

About the Author

Mary Kirkpatrick has a master’s degree in social work and works as a university instructor, permaculture designer and master gardener. A mother of two, she continues to cultivate a deep appreciation for the natural world. Messages from Gaia is Kirkpatrick’s first book. For more information, visit http://gaiamessages.com/.

“People don’t always build walls to keep people out. Sometimes they build walls to see who loves them enough to break the walls down and touch their hearts.”   Nancy Joy

This tidbit touched me deeply as I pondered several relationships in my life.  I have alluded to a most recent lost friendship and my heart opened just realizing that I, too, built some walls in response, and unintentionally created my own walls to keep my vulnerable heart safe.  There is a slim difference between keeping your heart safe and risking really opening your heart.  As Ezekiel always says, there is nothing more powerful than an open, vulnerable heart with strong personal boundaries. After all, why would I need to be afraid if I had healthy personal boundaries in place

I realized as I questioned this dance, that I had an opportunity to break down my own walls and reach out to offer my friend to do the same.  If you never ask; if you never take the risk; the answer is always no.  I chose to take the risk and grow.  After all, you aren’t really moving on if your feelings keep pulling you back.

Sit with this one for a bit and see what relationships you have in your past that have the potential for healing if only you were courageous enough to reach out and listen to your heart and not your ego.  I did just that over the past several days and like a flower slowly opening there seems to be new life activating healing for us both.

Don’t judge someone just because their opinions are different-least they do the same to you.  Instead, ask them if they want to grab a cup of coffee.  Start a conversation and listen.  Open their minds-open your own.   Jodi Piccoult from the novel Salem Falls

Recently, one my YouTube subscribers who became aware of vast greater realities asked me how to share this wisdom with others in a way that will not be rejected out-of-hand as so much of the new reality seems to be way out of the box.  This is not a simple answer but a great question to explore this week.

The first prerequisite Ezekiel taught me years ago is to learn how to apply discernment to your sharing.  You may be very excited with new information that resonates with you, but not everyone is on your same page. I love Jod Piccoult’s suggestion.  After all, you can’t expect someone to listen to you if you will not listen to them.  Always check to make sure your “wisdom” has an opening before you break down the door.

 Ezekiel also always said that we all have a cosmic alarm clock within our beings and when it goes off and someone actually begins to awake and rub the sleep out of their eyes,  that is the time they are able to explore new vistas.  Some folks roll over and hit the snooze alarm.  That’s OK, they have just created another opportunity down the road for it to awaken them.  Always remember when the time is right, the teacher will appear.  You are not always the teacher someone is ready to learn from. No need to postulate.  Nothing is more annoying then a reformed smoker right!

Finally and perhaps most importantly, people will listen to you more and accept more as they observe how you live your life and how you have manifested in this reality.  “By their works you shall know them.”  It is not what you say but how you apply your wisdom in your own life.  When I am asked by someone I know is not familiar with many of these concepts and realities, I meet them on their ground.  If, for example, they are Christian, I use that vocabulary to share these concepts.  If perhaps they have no clue that some institutions they rely on actually enslave us them, that is where you must begin to engage them, right where they are, not where you are or where you want them to be. Challenging but when you can put your ego aside, very doable.

This Monday morning, be still and bring someone close to you that is unaware of these concepts as you see them into your space and imagine a sharing based on these principals.  I think you might be amazed.  Thoughts to ponder.

“The Akashic Records are really distributed in the subconscious mind of people. That's where they are. It's a whole vast library.”  Jack True Hypno-therapist

This hypnotherapist, Jack Truth (who knows if that’s his real name), encountered lots of clients going into the future and experiencing it as a structured reality.  Each person’s version of the future was uniquely their own.  I read an interview Jon Rappoport did with him before his death.  I certainly resonated with much of what he discovered on his journey into the future.  Ezekiel often tells folks they are visitors from the future that have gone back to this present moment to create a change.  

The Akashic (a Sanskrit term) Records are described as a compendium of mystical knowledge encoded in a non-physical plane of existence. These records are thought to contain all knowledge of human experience and the history of the cosmos. It is interesting that everyone seems to believe when they tap into or first hear about the Akashic Records, that this is a cloud  that exists out there some where when all along, they exists more likely within our subconscious and are created by our wishes and dreams as a future construct and our perceptions of the past.  We are often so stuck in healing the past and what already exists that we loose the power of imagination and creation. I believe we alter those records in the present moment with our actions, thoughts and feelings creating the constructs in our subconscious.  After all we are God creators and as such there is nothing that exists that we are not.

Perhaps we are acting in the present according to the role we have created for our selves in the future.   Take this in this morning and perhaps you can find validation and power within these musings.  I know I did.  Find out more in my video.

Nancy Joy's Video

A client asked me during a recent session how he could know what is true.  There is as much mis-information as there is valid sharing going around the net these days that it has become over whelming to navigate through.  He asked me how I knew what is true, what it is safe to believe.

I answered, “I just know in my heart what feels right and until that shifts, it is my point of truth in the moment.  I don’t, however, become fundamental and attach myself to a particular piece of information or belief most of the time.  Your heart doesn’t always lead you on the easiest path but it does always lead you on the path that is best for your healing and growth.  If you are confused and frustrated, know that your ego is probably trying to maintain control as you begin to break through to new realities.  For example, when I first discovered years ago, that much of our belief systems are based on mind patterns created to control us and keep us from our potential and power, I was shocked.  I didn’t want to go deeply into that journey but my heart pushed me forward.  “What are you afraid of it asked?  Knowledge always replaces fear.”

In some ways, by now, I have discovered that it almost doesn’t matter what craziness of mental constructs are whizzing around me.  It affects me only to the extent that this information creates feelings to move through and greater depth to explore.  I use them to grow, not the other way around.  They do not use me.  That is my point of consciousness.

I have found this to be good advice.  Now when I hear some new information that is way out of my box, I feel for a hook to latch onto.  I feel for a breath of release and a voice that says perhaps?  At this point I am willing to explore new vistas.  Some things my heart leads me into have proven to be not the final destination and yet, it was the journey that was the real deal.  Find out more about how to know if it your heart guiding you. Channeling the Heart!
