So,
back to Alexa's book "The Zero Point." How does the preceding blog
installment co-mingle with what I'm going to share with you from this book?
Hang in there, it jives together, trust me.
From
Chapter 6: Love (Almost) under the section "This Thing Called Life."
"Human
beings have become an endangered species in today's world. Human doings, on the other hand, have reached
epidemic levels. With the help of technology – particularly social media –
human doings are engaged in moment-by-moment distractions (me, here: GUILTY!). All
you have to do is watch two people walking down the street. One is bound to be
on his or her cell phone, minimally participating in life. We've all done it. I
know because I've done it too, and I was a pro.
"What's
worse is that we use being busy as both a badge of honor and an excuse for not
being present or available. People claim they want to have time for (fill in
the blank), when what they really mean is "I don't want to." Instead,
they'll say something like "It's this thing called life." If you're
busy, you don't have to speak your truth."
BAM!
That
was the first in about three sections that I highlighted in this chapter. What
did it say to me? Check out the second area I highlighted and I'll put it all
together:
"When
you are running around with your hair on fire because you have crammed every
area of your life with activities, you have successfully created a boundary
between your doing self and your being self. There
is no time to feel feelings – too many people are counting on you! Everyone
has busy periods, but when it becomes a way of life, it is a sign of
dysfunction. You create a situation of needing to be needed so that you don't
have to deal with yourself."
Okay
this is the first part of that second area (more to come, but first….): I spent
32 years and 1 month working a job I despised. I had to take, at the least, 17
phone calls a day from people wanting transcripts and arguing with me on how to
get them. "Well why can't I do it this way? Why can't you just do it this
way? Why do I have to go through all this just to get my transcripts?" Blah,
blah, blah, blah, blah. They would not listen, they did not WANT to do what
they needed to do to obtain their transcripts. They wanted them handed over on
a silver-platter because of laziness. And then they would not give me the correct
information I needed to locate their records on microfilm. (IKR? Still on
microfilm, but this was my life up until I retired at the end of September
2018.)
Each
person who walked-in, each phone call, I had to repeat the script over and over
and over and over. And it got worse over the span of 15-20 years because I was
the only one who knew how to deal with a spaghetti microfilm system, and school
sites who could not keep up with keeping track of their records. The main
office, instead of giving phone requests or in-person requests to the person in
charge of said school's records, referred them to ME. And these poor people
would get the run-around because I would not have those records and they would
have to go back to the school. I would give them specific instructions:
"Do not talk to the main office. Ask specifically for the person in charge
of records." Every – damn – day would this crap go on. But since I was the
only one who knew all the tricks… I became invaluable to this place of
employment.
The
job slowly killed my spirit to helping anyone. My compassion got clobbered so badly
that it's still covered in sludge even though that sludge is now bubbling,
indicating my compassion is not completely dead. And honestly, I owe even that
much of a healing to those who believe in Ascension and ETs. Not the conspiracy
theorists, not the Cabal-hunting, Reptillian 'they're out to get us' circles.
But the honest to goodness people striving to awaken human consciousness to
something better on an energetic level.
I
digress. Moving on:
For
the few years before I retired, I realized I could not love anymore. It was a
dead emotion. I could feel empathy for others, cry, be happy when they cried
and were happy, but it was their emotion I was bouncing back to them, not my
own. The only thing I give a damn about is the animals. (Now THOSE I can love
with no problem. 😉)
So,
it bothered me as to why I could not love. Alexa's words: "There is no
time to feel feelings – too many people are counting on you!"
When
a friend would ask me to play hooky, take a day off from work, I couldn't. I
had to go to work because the burden of leaving the task to others was too
great. They honestly did not know the tricks of the trade I'd learned, what
questions to ask, where to look for the records… I was counted on to be there.
And honestly, dealing with the aftermath of said situation only made my job
worse. I'd have to go back over stacks of transcript requests and re-do them. I
eventually got a co-worker who helped a great deal and got a crash-course on
the type of job I was faced with. Bless his heart, he acclimated well into the
job to cover for me when I got sick or needed a break. But we would STILL have
to deal with the daily nightmares.
I
finally got to the point where Source demanded I retire and focus on my
scripts. (My only passion.) I've now been off work for almost 5 months and I'm
only just NOW realizing many things about myself.
Second
part of the second area I highlighted:
"What
has actually been created is a sense of self-importance stemming from a place
of insecurity rather than a desire for true service (Me, here: Law of One
speaks of Service to Others, rather than Service to Self), which is an outward
extension of self to other self, emanating from a deep, still core of Love.
Running from one activity to another, even in the name of "good works,"
is self-involved—it's receiving rather than serving. Unless motives and
intentions are clear, it is easy to confuse the two." (Me, here: I think
it's the idea of "If I'm busy I won't have to look inside me to see why
I'm so busy. I won't have to look at the reasons I need to be busy so I can
ignore who I am deep within.")
But
where is this leading to my train of thought?
To
the final highlighted area in that chapter – to find stillness and connect with
Oneness.
"When
stillness knocks, you have the option of answering the call or not. You can
lean toward the call of Oneness and the exploration of All That Is, or you can
remain steadfastly in the illusion, moving quickly from one fix of duality to
the next. Will you self-medicate or reach for the stillness? Ramp up the
intensity or choose peace? No one can answer these questions but you."
When
we immerse ourselves in things outside ourselves, we lose connection to who we
are in the Oneness. When we focus on the hatred, the negative, the things that
are WRONG with the world outside, we fail to see what is actually going on
inside of us. For almost two decades, I floundered in a sea of chaos and
confusion and stress. I got cancer because of it. (survivor going on 9 years
now, thank you. 😉) Even writing my scripts has become another 'fix' for
me to immerse myself in rather than focus on how to AWAKEN further.
What
is going on 'out there' is a beast needing to be fed. The beast of fear who
seeks to devour us by getting us to hate what we fear. Many in our country fear
immigrants, Muslims, drug dealers, gangs, lack of gun control, hate crimes, our
rights being stolen from us over our bodies. And so they combat those fears,
sometimes hiding behind God's skirts to do it, or battling God's skirts to get
to the perpetrators behind them. Who is really the Cabal in this? Who is really
the Reptillian dark force base in this? And why the heck are we falling for
their agenda of hate and division?
Who
are you… really? Deep down in the core of your being? (I'm asking myself these
questions, too, so you're not alone.) When can we just back up and retreat and
hide in the stillness and look deep within our own souls and try to resurrect
compassion and Oneness with All That Is? Even for those who, on the surface,
are miserable hate-mongers? Do they even know what Love is? It could very well
be they don't, and that is actually a very sad way to be. It sure as heck
doesn't feel good to me.
I
know now why my heart is incapable of Love, real compassionate love. Now that
I'm AWARE, I need to deal with the wounds and heal them. I want to know what
it's like to love people. I've had to hide who I am for so long I forgot how to
BE as opposed to DO.
Nothing
wrong with being both, but I'd rather BE first so I can then know what to Do.
I
hope this has helped in some way.
Blessings.
