Featured on the Virtual Light Broadcast in 2009 and 2010 and a co-creator of the 10-10-10 Event, "The Next Convergence - Spirit into Human" with Steve Rother, Jim is often introduced as a teacher’s teacher and a healer’s healer. He has been leading seminars and teaching healing, clairvoyance and higher dimensional energy management tools throughout North America since 1980. As an author of Spirit Matters: Down-to-Earth Tools for a Spirited Life, Jim's Spectrum column includes excerpts from this book, his free tele-classes, seminars and his second upcoming book.Since childhood, Jim has had a conscious awareness and ability to remember his experiences within the sleep state. Over the last ten years, this awareness has expanded into relationships with the Archangels, Ascended Masters and Teachers of Light. The tools and information presented in the Mastering Alchemy programs are co-creations of these relationships.
Jim walks with a foot in both worlds. At the age of twenty-six, he was elected to his first of two terms to the San Jose, CA City Council and later became the Vice Mayor. Before completing his second term, he was asked by President Jimmy Carter to be the Director of Governmental Operations for the Dept. of Energy. As an entrepreneur, he has successfully built and sold two corporations, and is the founder and current Board Chairman of a third.
What happened? Just yesterday you thought this speaker was your next inspiration and today, she doesn’t even exist. How can something that thrilled you yesterday be suddenly meaningless? Because the internet connection was patchy? Did the “universe” and your “guides” play a trick on you?
This phenomenon is quite common with both the newly awakened, as well as those who have been focused on their path for years. When it isn’t easy or simple to take the next step, we immediately abandon the path When a speed bump appears in the road we turn and walk in a different direction. Sound familiar? But what if there’s more going on here than you imagine? There may, in fact, be gems before you in this adventure that you are not recognizing. What if your guides had a divine ulterior motive. What if the universe was offering you something quite different – and much more rewarding – than you could ever have anticipated? What if it had nothing to do with that new speaker at all?
Alternatives to shrugging and walking (or running) away
What turned you on?
Something intrigued you about this person or her information. What was it? If you can clearly identify what it was that thrilled you, you will better identify what truly resonates with you and what you can focus your attention and intention upon.
It might be as simple as the speaker’s energy and how she presents herself. It might be the voice with which she writes.
Notice if this is a pattern
How many times have you hit a pebble on the path and turned aside saying, "
My guides told me not to follow this trail"? Many indeed use guides or angels as an excuse to turn away when perhaps these beings were simply doing all they could to show you a valuable piece of information that awaited if only you had continued walking. Are you a dabbler? Is your pattern to dabble here and there in the newage circuit, never landing long enough to do some serious personal work? Perhaps you just want to be entertained by these speakers. And that is okay, too. The point is to recognize the pattern and own it.
Your reaction to the event
Ask yourself, “What is the energy behind the frustration or disappointment I felt when things didn’t flow as smoothly as I wanted them to?” There is a great deal of personal information behind our 3D reactions. If you stop long enough to watch your reaction, you will notice life patterns. Once noticed (even if you don’t have words for them) you can clear them away.
Where was your attention?
You might take good advantage of this situation to really understand how you created it. What led up to your reaction of frustration, disappointment, etc? In the Internet radio show example above, the person hurried home and rushed to logon to the radio show with nervousness and stress. Was he grounded and calm? Did he prepare for this new experience intentionally with focus? Did he clear out his day so he could listen and receive the information with his full attention?
It was no accident that you were drawn to the person who attracted you, and then created the adventure you stepped into. Whether you continue to learn from this new person doesn’t really matter. What matters is the rich opportunity this experience presents for you to better understand your patterns, intentions and desires. YOU are the most important person in your world. Such full opportunities are before you every moment of the day – just waiting for you to notice and take advantage of them.
