Refrigerator Note #5

There's always a natural path out of the reality you're in.

Tennessee Frequency Group Report #1

Penney,

My name is Susan and we want to share our experiences from our weekly Frequency Book Gathering in Tennessee. There are six of us. We have read Frequency at least once and studied it independently. Leshia wanted to facilitate reading and paraphrasing the first two chapters. She led us in your meditation "Realms of Number Vibrations," page 43. I will share my experiences.

The Glass Elevator
It was difficult to not "ordain" #3 as this is a key number in my life experience and numerology. However, #3 held no charge. #6 did, but it was #9 that opened right up to me and I emerged into the Violet Flame. There was a man, John, at this level who was always at the I AM facility at Mt. Shasta when I frequented the area during the Harmonic Convergence around 1987 and 1988. He was a sweet little man with abundant white hair who wore suit pants, a white shirt with the sleeves rolled up, and dress shoes. I encountered him eight of my nine visits, and he shared the library with me. Back then, I decided I liked the abilities St. Germain had developed, but wasn't sure about the Being himself.

So at level #9, in the meditation, John greeted me and stated that I "had a problem" with St. Germain. I agreed. Though he didn't say anything, I intuited that if I wanted adept, masterful qualities then I had to release judgment of the material personification — St. Germain — of them. John led me into the violet flame and I stood there being "washed." Then he offered to accompany me to level #6 where I could sojourn longer. #6 turned out to be a bucolic countryside, with emerald grass, crystalline tumbling brooks, birdsong, and wildflowers abundant in color and fragrance. It was a Heaven on Earth that I realized I wanted to materialize in my life. John offered to assist me in the realization. I looked at this benign man with snow white hair and wondered: Are you St. Germain in a physical form I can accept — unthreatened? End of meditation. I realize since then that I have had a big shift in trust and acceptance, and have moved more from yang to yin.

Meeting #2: At the next meeting we had two new people and wanted to all be on the same page, so Leshia led us in the number meditation again. This time no number "grabbed" me, so I started from #2 (got sand and a dead tree desert), next, #3 (found I was under the sea, with lovely colors, fish, sea horses, sounds, and pleasant feeling on skin but no thanks), next! I jumped to #6 as it had begun to resonate: I entered my Paradise which was halcyon hills and fields as before. Hanging between two trees was a lovely creamy linen/flax hammock with crocheted lace edging. I went right to it and laid down. Immediately it morphed into a cocoon and enclosed me. I felt very comfortable. Then, a huge butterfly emerged from the cocoon. I was the butterfly and also standing on a pathway. The figure of a woman in an elegant medieval dress came toward me, who I recognized as Queen Eleanor of Aquitaine. She opened welcoming arms and I ran into them. Enfolded, I felt a whoosh of emotional release and began to weep. She said, "It's all right, now. I'm here. I'll help you all the ways I can." I felt grateful and cherished, comfortable in this incredible woman's loving embrace. End of meditation.

As we all discussed our experiences, one of the new people said hers was "just about feelings." But, of course, we're working on Chapter 3: Becoming Aware of Your Feeling Habits, so she felt validated and happy to be there, when we reminded her of that. Patsy's experiences were of joyous freedom; mine about ending judgments, trust and transformation; Leshia's of not being afraid of opening to new experiences and trusting herself and her intuition.

We all thank you very much. We love the book and the sharing, opening experiences it has catalyzed for us, singly and in group.

Meeting #3: Wow! What a week. All the "stuff" in chapters 2 and 3 was in our face. Lots of issues related to giving away our power to "drama queens," if you know what I mean. It was life imitating your book :-) Actually fun, huh? We had a great discussion on transparency, guided by your end of chapter insights. Patsy has been working on that. As a Reiki master, she knows it's best to be clear so nothing from anyone else can get stuck in you, or stick you up! We ended with sending waves of the good we wished outward — to our town, our state, to the US, to the planet, to the universe. That felt Really Good!

Thank you again for your inspiration and your book,
Susan

July 3 Intuitive Way eNewsletter Is Out!

It's been 2 months (wow! how did that happen?) since I sent out The Intuitive Way eNews. . .mainly because I've been traveling so much, and unable to access my website and the internet from various locales. This issue can be accessed at: www.penneypeirce.com/newsletters/Newsletter7309.htm

The Great Change, Phase One

I have edited this excerpt from The Herbst Newsletter, July 2009, titled "Prescient Visions, Unreal Expectations," that gives astrological-cultural-spiritual-political views & opinions. You can read the whole thing at http://www.billherbst.com. I share this because, though I feel extremely positive about what's coming in the new Intuition Age, I also like to be aware of other people's points of view about how things may realistically come about.

Bill Herbst says, "This month’s commentary is about the obvious disconnect between reality and dreaming. Though the Great Change has begun, in this early stage we are not yet connected. In 2009, during these early years of the breakdown of unsustainable institutions — which might be considered Phase One of the collective challenge — many individual voices are crying out for a practical reorganization to begin now, while we still have viable options and before our backs are to the wall. These voices of pragmatism are routinely ignored by the powers-that-be and will remain mostly unheard until after the critical mass year of 2012. In the meantime, others who wield the power of collective decision-making are doing precisely what we would expect them to do: following the wishes of the ruling elites, whose sole interest is to protect the authority and wealth they have so carefully amassed from the base of the pyramid below.

In the meantime, those of us who consciously anticipate The Big Change prepare as best we can, but mostly we wait, watch, listen, read, and talk to each other. Below is an abbreviated list of some of the individuals I read with admiration and agreement. Rather than try to encapsulate a profile of each author’s cultural niche, I’ve listed at least one of his or her books. All these people are well worth reading.

Sharon Astyk, Depletion and Abundance: Life on the New Home Front
Joe Bageant, Deer Hunting with Jesus
Carolyn Baker, Sacred Demise: Walking the Spiritual Path of Industrial Civilization’s Collapse
Thomas Berry, The Great Work: Our Way into the Future
Helen Caldicott, Nuclear Power Is Not the Answer
Jared Diamond, Collapse: How Societies Choose to Succeed or Fail
Riane Eisler, The Real Wealth of Nations: Creating a Caring Economics
Barbara Ehrenreich, Dancing in the Streets: A History of Collective Joy
Catherine Austin Fitts, Crossing the Rubicon: The Decline of the American Empire at the End of the Age of Oil (co-author Michael C. Ruppert)
Richard Heinberg, The Party’s Over and Power Down
David Korten, The Great Turning: From Empire to Earth Community
Derrick Jensen, End Game: The Problem of Civilization
William Kotke, The Final Empire: The Collapse of Civilization and the Seed of the Future
James Howard Kunstler, The Long Emergency: Surviving the End of Oil, Climate Change, and Other Converging Catastrophes of the Twenty-First Century
Bill McKibben, The End of Nature and Deep Economy
Arundhati Roy, Field Notes on Democracy: Listening to Grasshoppers
Matt Savinar, Peak Oil: Life After the Oil Crash
Vandana Shiva, Soil Not Oil: Environmental Justice in an Age of Climate Crisis
William Strauss/Neil Howe, Generations and The Fourth Turning
Gore Vidal, Dreaming War: Blood for Oil
Howard Zinn, A People's History of the United States

That nothing is changing yet even though everything is going to hell in a hand basket is the bad news. The good news is that this too shall pass. Substantive reform of our financial system will come eventually, but it’s still probably five to six years away. But the loss of what may have always been false or illusory security will soon touch everyone, not just us doddering old farts. Never again in our lifetimes will Americans of any age enjoy the sense of triumphal, confident safety that characterized middle-class life in this country for so long. New and darker clouds of uncertainty are rolling in, cutting across all generational cohorts, leaving us to grapple with our mortality. In the decades ahead, (however), we will regain much of what was lost.

The Frequency of Grandkids

Subject: Feeling Good

It occurs to me that focusing on grandchildren is an excellent way of getting yourself to a place of feeling really really good and happy. And that, I have found, makes finding and staying in the home frequency much easier. I knew that having grandchildren would be wonderful but I didn't know how much more they would add to my life than what I anticipated.

I have finished reading Frequency and am getting my daughter a copy. I am looking forward to purchasing more of your work.

Thank you,
Anne H, Pittsburgh PA

Debbie Ford Echoes Frequency

A friend forwarded me Debbie Ford's latest newsletter, which echoes so much of what I've been talking about in Frequency. She says it nicely, and I thought you might enjoy it. I've edited it slightly.

Ego Management
Sometimes I feel like I'm in the ego management business — in the midst of finishing a new book, building two new websites, creating an amazing webspace for my coaches, leading workshops and trainings, making brochures, Twittering and updating my Facebook status, mothering, and more. It can be overwhelming and bring up the most earthly behaviors — mine and others. Of course, I'm in denial when they're mine and appalled when they're somebody else's. That's the way of the ego, the way of the shadow and its mighty defense called projection.

I woke up this morning asking, "What's the answer?" How do you get through life each day when you're in overwhelm, when there is more on your plate than you can handle, or when life is just not behaving as it should? It is your soul's journey to bring into balance all of what you are — the coexistence of opposites, the divine integration of the sum of all the parts. It is the soul's journey to enroll the ego in the quest for the ultimate victory — the evolution of your own individual consciousness. But the journey must begin by choosing between two forces: one has the power to lead you to new heights; the other can keep you pinned down to a past that is filled with limitation and dread. Don't be fooled. You're living either an ego-driven life or one that is soul centered.

The soul discerns with a laserlike sharpness. The ego judges and rejects with disdain and aggressiveness. The soul takes responsibility.The ego blames and transfers responsibility. The soul moves through life with grace. The ego moves through life with sloppiness, chaos, and drama. The soul feels good about who it is and what it wants and needs to sustain itself, to grow and evolve. The ego never has enough; it can never leave well enough alone or see beyond the current circumstances. It is entitled, confused and feels stuck.

The ego is tirelessly swimming against the current, while the soul sits back and floats in the direction that life is moving in. You're either being guided by your soul or driven by your ego. At any time, you have access to either of these lifestyles, and to all the experiences and emotions they bring with them.

So I realized that all there was for me to do in the midst of the turmoil was to choose the journey of my sweet soul — to tune in, to listen even more deeply and to stay committed to a higher vibration — the vibration of love, peace and success...my soul's success. So of course I'll ask you like I asked myself, "What can you do this week to make this human experience more loving, more honest and more soulful?" I hope you remember that, in the midst of an ego attack, you too can choose a higher vibration.

Refrigerator Note #4

Harmony shows in everything, if you see it.

Following the Flow toward Destiny

Even when we're not that aware of what our destiny might be, we're aimed at it, or it's drawing us toward it. The closer we get, and look back over our life, we see the good sense, the "joke" that even when we thought we were wasting time, or drifting about, we were actually on purpose, that it's pretty hard to stay off purpose for long. It's just downright hard to move forward when you're off purpose. The other night, in my journal, I wrote about how one of the main flows of my own life has unfolded.

"First there was an urge to create and express. It was private. It satisfied me without me being recognized for it. I drew, I wrote, I made things and arranged things. I kept on making sense of it all, by myself. Then I started speaking of my ideas and insights, loosely in innocuous conversations, and people responded; they joined in. I talked more. I wrote more. And soon I took sharing to the level of teaching—what a surprise that people found small benefit in my perceptions and words and idea clusterings. That settled in and became normal. I found what I was thinking was a barometer of what others were thinking and this encouraged me to continue sharing—in a way that reassured me that I wasn't egotistical.

After all, this was a way I could experience communion and comaraderie with others, which I so enjoyed. Yet underneath, the soul seemed unrelenting in its desire to translate insightful experiences into paragraphs, poetry, and phrases that could change consciousness. I dreamed that someone told me I was a "verbal healer," that I could utter one phrase that could shift a person into their deep memory of themself, into their 'Aha!'—and they would open to receive who they really were. This idea felt good.

Then, after awhile, I stopped my flow. What about silence? What about spaciousness? What about Being? What about not having to do so much? Did I have to affect everyone positively? What's left if I don't do good? "People will continue to evolve on their own," the voice responded. But will I know who I am? Now this got shaky. No words. No insights. No wisdom. No translation? Am I still here? I dared to collapse my reality and discovered a smiling, neutral, immensely loving presence, observing and also participating, simultaneously. A presence that is entertained by everything, and also beyond amusement. It's so nurturing in its encompassing-ness and in its uncompromising attentiveness. Nothing else is needed. All things welcome.

Now the describing reemerges. The shaping urge. The joy of sounds and the creation of meaning and new pathways in the brain. I am affected and I affect."

The Surfacing Feminine

This is a song sung to the young men who are about to enter their initiation in the Tzutujil Mayan tradition. I am feeling the rising the the Great Feminine, and thought I'd share this. It has great power and beauty in its directly described imagery.

You lords of this earth
You ladies of this earth
We the eight hundred shimmering
The eight hundred flashing
Come at your feet
Come at your branches
Desiring the company of
Your first sunlight
Your first dawnlight
As he our flower, our sprout
On the branches of this the trunk of
The village, the complete gathering
Is held alive by the same
Ancestral root
Who yesterday and the day before, and then today
We came searching, shimmering
We came desiring, flashing,
In the presence of all our mutual
Ancestors, to hold him in our branches flowering
So that he may become cooked and ripe
So that he may become the carrier
The sacrificer
The bringer of Her
The maker of the house of the holy.

Change Your Frequency and Life Changes, Too!

A reader recently wrote and shared the following story. She is particularly articulate about the insights she received, and I thought it might relate to what many of you are also experiencing right now.

Just wanted to let you know I still haven't put down your book. I honestly can't remember a book that has impacted me this much. Maybe when I first started listening to Abraham-Hicks or learning about Human Design, but this is taking me to a whole new level. There is something about the experience of reading it (could it be the "Frequency"?!) that has caused a shift in my consciousness on a cellular level. Very powerful!

I wanted to share an experience I'm going through where your book has helped me experience a shift in my perception so I could see the underlying principle at work. When I did the meditations for finding my Home Frequency you asked us to picture our worst possible scenario as if nothing would ever go the way I wanted it to again. I pictured myself stuck in the job I've had for the last five years that squelches and stifles me.

Then I shifted to my Home Frequency—where, everything would go better than I possibly could've asked for. I've managed to anchor into the Home Frequency and live my life from that vibration pretty constantly for the last several months, since completing the exercise. Of course, external events have caused me to react, but I found that I can always remember that I am in charge and shift back into my Home Frequency and live in the present moment. I've really enjoyed this power to choose! (I've always known it was in my power to choose, but now I have the experience.)

Then something unexpected happened that knocked me completely off the path. I witnessed and reported an act of abuse toward one of the people I support where I work, at an agency that supports adults with developmental disabilities. I did the exact 'right' thing in this situation and had the purest of intentions. BUT the situation got all turned around and the abuser blamed me for committing the act of abuse and calculated a whole plot against me, which the agency believed and it led them to terminate me. Well, this situation had me outraged! The part that was the most uncomfortable was that I was silenced. I had no voice or opportunity to defend myself. I felt powerless and allowed myself to get sucked into a spiral of rage and fury! Until today. :-)

Today I remembered the exercise from Frequency and what it felt like to be in my Home Frequency. It then hit me like an instant download that my Higher Self had arranged all of this for me! Living from my Home Frequency these last few months left no space for my old job— the vibes just didn't fit. So the Universe and my Higher Self went to extreme lengths to get me out of there. And that's when I realized just how powerful I am. As soon as I began to vibrate at a level that was above that of my job, and shifted into living from my Home Frequency, the job (very dramatically!) left my experience. And by worrying about it and trying to get those involved to see it my way, I was just holding on to something that I've been wanting to let go of for a long time. Pretty awesome realization if you ask me!

I figure that the reason I was holding on was that without a job, my old frequency does not know how it will have money or resources. But my Home Frequency is resourceful beyond measure and the particles are now rearranging themselves in the form of delightful surprises for me. :-) So I wanted to share this with you. I thought you'd enjoy hearing specifically how your book has impacted me. Thanks for writing it!

Stabilizing Your New Frequency

So many of us right now are focusing on stabilizing ourselves into a new, higher frequency of awareness, and of life itself. Instead of succumbing to negativity and victimhood, we're saying NO, unplugging from those low-vibration thoughts and feelings, and instead, CHOOSING to feel the way we like to feel, in spite of what the so-called "outside world" (which isn't really out there, it's part of us) is doing. No one and nothing can make us feel bad unless we agree to it. We're seeing that it's excitement and enthusiasm, not anxiety, that we truly want. We're feeling that we want to be more, and do more, of what comes from our most-real self.

So the more we stabilize and saturate our bodies, emotions, and minds with the new higher frequency of a soul-based reality, the more awareness we have of subtle things, and the more energy we have—and it's not that jagged, jittery kind of energy, it's smooth, cheerful, and enthusiastic. It is out of that renewed energy that our new imagination comes. Before we settle into the higher frequency, we can't "figure out" what we want. Our imagination is coming from the old, low vibration, and old pictures of the way it used to be. As soon as your frequency shifts, you can see more of what's possible, and you get excited about it. Now you can reinvent yourself by dreaming up a fun, new life.

As long as you trace the old habit paths, it's more difficult to shift to the new experience of the energy-based world. Our new reality is not motivated by having security and "stuff," but on feeling different—on being in your home frequency state—more and more of the time. The appropriate forms now emerge from the feeling.

An Intuition Exercise

GET GUIDANCE FROM VISION, VOICE, AND VIBRATION

Be on the alert for intuitive information coming to you through your outer and inner senses of sight, hearing, and touch.

1. Make a decision based on the way something “looks” to you. Does the situation have alot of light on it? Does it have the right “color”? Does it have a pleasing design?

2. Make a decision based on the way something “sounds” to you. Does the situation sound screechy, shrill, melodious, quiet, hollow, or harmonious?

3. Make a decision based on the way something “feels” to you. Does the situation feel smooth, rough, sharp, soft, cold, hot, slippery, or sticky?

As you receive the impressions, notice whether the perception makes you expand, feel good, or lean toward the option or if it makes you feel contracted, heavy, and pull away from the option. You can trust your body.
