When we connect with the Spiritual Presence that is in us, we move beyond our 3 dimensional world into the 4^th dimension. By immersing ourselves in the appreciation of the good things that fill our lives and by being at peace, we shift our perception. Everything around us shifts as well. We learn to live from the inside out. We become aware of That flow in our life, like we’re aware of a river’s flow when we’re rafting on it.

In the 5^th dimension, we perceive that we are the Presence, we are one with God. It’s as if we were river-rafting but have been flipped into the water. We have a change of perception from being “on the river” to being “one with the river”. We go from being aware of God flowing in our lives to perceiving our oneness with the very nature of the Divine Itself. When we change perception we live life differently. For example, if we are faced with catastrophic illness, we know we are connected with that very nature of God which is wholeness. We experience wholeness as the very essence of our own being. We know that even if our body were to be taken, that whatever the purpose, the wholeness is still fulfilled.

Knowing these things, we sometimes have the misconception that we build our lives from the ground up. But we are also pulled from above. That wisdom that flows through life guides you to be where you need to be to experience that place– the 5^th dimension. We are all one. It’s all God.

It’s fun to make the journey. Head down the river your life tells you to go on. It’s safe. It’s all love. It’s only God.

We perceive our three-dimensional life through the mind. The mind sees us as separate from everything out there and it defends us. We each have known pain. At such times we see a limit to or a loss of the goodness of God. Anger and hatred naturally protect us when the mind sees us as victims. This is not wrong or bad, but it is not the only perspective.

Our higher consciousness is a higher perspective from which we see things differently. We cannot love when we are in anger and hatred. That is a state which diminishes love and our loving. As spiritual beings, we respond from our truth that is always within us, that we are one with the beautiful Divine Presence. We pray,

“Beloved Presence, reveal that which needs to be revealed. Heal that which needs to be healed.”

And it is revealed that we have a choice. Just wanting to make a choice brings healing. Healing takes away the need for anger and hate. At this point of choosing we are free– deeply, powerfully free.

There is so much love surrounding, enfolding and supporting us! When we ask it and allow it to take us, it lifts us. We see freedom, forgiveness, and wholeness. It has no other purpose. It is time to look at what you have not yet allowed to heal, what has not yet been transformed. You’re not lost. It’s not over. It’s not the way it looks. The world has simply brought you to the question, “What is now, in this moment, the choice to make?” And it is that choice that transforms what you have journeyed into. This love flows through you, and in your choosing it over and over, it is blessing and lifting us all. We are in this together.
