A Book to Help Spiritual Seekers Understand End Times

Metaphysical author, Yvonne Perry releases a book to help mystical seekers manage symptoms of rapid spiritual growth and understand the end of the Piscean Age.

After more than a year of success with her groundbreaking and best-selling book, Whose Stuff Is This? ~ Finding Freedom from the Thoughts, Feelings, and Energy of Those Around You (http://whosestuffisthis.com), Yvonne Perry is releasing a follow-up book to help those who are experiencing physical and emotional symptoms during the current planetary awakening as we enter the Age of Aquarius.

If you have been experiencing strange body sensations, headaches, fatigue, depression, panic/anxiety attacks, hot flashes, increased emotional responses, or have noticed that your psychic abilities are opening up, you may be one of the millions of people who are spiritually growing faster than your physical body can tolerate. What you are experiencing is a normal response to spiritual changes. These are known as ascension symptoms, which also include changes in careers, sleep patterns, and dietary preferences.

In this time of social, economic, and political unrest many people are in crisis, strapped with fear, and stressed to the limit. Some have lost jobs and financial security; there’s an upheaval in government systems worldwide; the global economy could topple in a heartbeat; the religious institutions we once looked to for guidance are wrought with deceit; our youth are rioting; health issues are escalating; and relationships are failing. Why does our world seem to be going crazy? Is this the prophesied end of time?

Undoubtedly, we are living in a crucial time in world and cosmic history. Perry’s book explains what is going on in the universe, our planet, and with ourselves as we are encountering a vibrational increase, which is creating tsunamis, earthquakes, floods, hurricanes, global warming, and volcanic activity throughout the Earth. Addressing many end-time prophecies, Perry concludes that the next phase of human development depends upon what is held in our individual and collective minds; for it is there that we co-create our reality.

“Everything is being shaken from within,” says Yvonne Perry, the author of a new book titled Shifting into Purer Consciousness ~ Integrating Spiritual Transformation with the Human Experience. “It may feel or look bad during the process, but patriarchal world systems and our old way of thinking are breaking down in order for us to create something new. A lot of what we are experiencing is our unresolved personal issues and cellular memory being pushed up and out as the ‘separation mindset’ comes to the surface to be healed.”

“Shifting into Purer Consciousness is astonishing in its breadth and depth of knowledge in what it means to be a spirit being in human form at this particular time,” says Steve Brannon, an interfaith spiritual minister. “Never will we find as truthful and candid a discussion of the human condition and ascension consciousness. One must admire the freedom with which the myriad of spiritual experiences and paths to a purer consciousness are described. Within these pages, we discover vital guidance to help us in finding our way. For religions fail us but God provides our spiritual food in grace and abundance.” Brannon is the author of The Two Agreements: A Good News Story for Our Time.

Yvonne’s book will be launched with a virtual tour in June. You are cordially invited to come along with the author as she posts audio/video clips, written and recorded interviews, book excerpts, and content-rich articles on more than twenty blogs. The virtual tour will be followed by an ascension training telesummit in July 2012. Topics to be addressed in this telesummit include global awakening, oneness, near-death and spiritually-transforming experiences, walk-ins/soul exchanges, working with angels and ascended masters, immortality, DNA restructuring, the light body, merkabah, integrating cosmic frequencies, and managing ascension symptoms. See http://integratingfrequencies.blogspot.com/p/ascension-training-telesummit.html for details about the tour and training sessions.

Yvonne Perry

Are Demons Real?

Much confusion surrounds the topic of demons and whether or not they are real, but what I experienced when I held this fear-based mindset had an impact on my physical and emotional well-being. Empaths are extremely sensitive to any kind of energy—even that of our own thoughts and beliefs.

An entity is anything that feeds off your energy or emotions. It can be a thought form, an energy pattern, or a soul tie (a hook to or an attachment from one or more persons), or an earthbound spirit no longer in a human body. Whatever beliefs, emotions, or knowledge we have when we leave the body is carried with the soul into the afterlife. Many times when a soul leaves the body abruptly, it is confused and may not cross over to the other side or go into the light. These spirits are between incarnations and able to feed off the energy of humans.

I don’t believe a body can be possessed by more than one soul at a time, but we can be influenced positively or negatively by disembodied souls. I don’t intend to make anyone afraid—you are more powerful than any earthbound spirit and they have to adhere to any boundary you set with them—but if you are an empath, there is a good chance you see ghosts, or have already experienced some evidence that they exist.

Obviously, we are connected to one another or we would not be able to tap into each another’s energy like we do. Incarnated or disembodied, we are all interconnected in ways that we may or may not have acknowledged or understood. I talk more about this in chapter 10 in my book, Whose Stuff Is This? ~ Finding Freedom from the Thoughts, Feelings, and Energy of Those Around You, under the subheading “Setting Boundaries with Entities.”

Our lesson here is that whatever we think about comes about. The universe will allow us to feel or experience whatever we validate as truth. The great news is that all entities (real or imagined) can be removed with better understanding. Doing the clearing and cleansing practices mentioned in Chapter 9 of my book will help immensely.

Prayer as a Statement of Clear Intention

It helps to get clear on what you want to manifest before you begin praying. I like to write it down in my prayer journal so I can go back and see the results of my prayer efforts.You might be surprised at how many prayers are being answered!

Sometimes people get so overwhelmed with trouble, disappointment, and frustration they can’t even think straight to put together a list like this one. If you have trouble thinking of what you want to manifest, make a list of everything that is wrong or that you don’t want then write the opposite as a positive statement or list of affirmations.

Once you have your statement of clear intent, begin your prayer by grounding and centering your energy. If you are unsure of how to do this, see the “Grounding and Centering” exercise on my Website: http://weare1inspirit.com/spiritual-audios.htm#Grounding.

Then, focus on the Sacred Heart within you (taught in my book, Shifting into Purer Consciousness), knowing that all is well. There are no problems in the now moment. With this in mind, begin to feel in your body what it would feel like if you had everything you need or want right now. That feeling activates the energy of unlimited potential. This is very powerful when combined with positive affirmations.

Call upon your higher self, the Holy Spirit, or divine spirit guides as you write a statement of clear intention in the form of affirmations regarding the situation at hand. Keep your affirmations open-ended. For example: To say “I want a job or roommate to help pay the bills” limits what the universe can bring you. It is more helpful to state “I enjoy financial freedom” or “I have all I need to live comfortably.” Here are some other examples:

I have unlimited resources.
Everything I need comes to me in perfect timing.
I am successful in all my ventures.
I am supported by the universe who always says YES!
I attract people into my life who are confident, content, and intelligent.
I express and show happiness easily and freely.
I feel confident in my body.
I receive income from multiple sources.
I receive pure love and support from all.

Thank God/Spirit for answering your prayer even before you see the results manifesting. Gratitude is a very high-vibrating energy that helps bring things into material form.

Use Your Body to Heal Your Mind

Why are our beliefs so important to our health? Because how we view our world, our universe and who and what we are in it will determine much of when, how, and if we heal. Our world view will tell us we have limited possibilities, or that we have unlimited potential. it will tell us that miracles occur only occasionally, or that they are the natural order of the universe. it will tell us that we must predict the future based upon what has happened in the past, or it will tell us we are creating the future each moment with our consciousness. It will tell us that we are victims or that we are creators.  Dr. Henry Grayson will be speaking about how our thoughts affect our health on We Are One in Spirit Podcast today.

Psychologist Henry Grayson has found that everybody desires a healthy and happy life, yet virtually everyone subconsciously feels they don’t deserve it. This unconscious mindset has a direct negative impact on our ability to prevent and overcome ongoing illnesses and unhappiness.

In Use Your Body to Heal Your Mind, Dr. Grayson draws on his understanding of this work and combines it with new insights in Western psychology, the mind-expanding inner wisdom of Eastern philosophy and the hard science of quantum physics, to explore the core of what keeps us from embracing a healthy and productive life. He explains how our bodies are made up of energy fields that respond to conscious thought, how those thoughts make us sick, and how to clear out past traumas and self-destructive inner dialogs to open the door to self-healing.

Use Your Body to Heal Your Mind dives into the guilt-ridden waters of our deepest traumas that are often hidden from our conscious minds. He works to clear away these blocks through techniques that have proven as effective on combat veterans battling post-traumatic stress disorder as on civilians plagued by depression, chronic illness and disorders previously thought to be untreatable. The result is more than a return to good health – it is the understanding that we deserve health and happiness and have the tools to make it possible.

Why Words Are So Powerful

Today is the fourth segment of my discussion with Minister Steve Brannon. We continue our interview by chatting about how words are used to manifest our reality.

Part 1 -Don’t Rock the Boat Lest You Want to Leave the Church Fellowship
Part 2 - Why Religion is No Longer Working for Most People
Part 3 - Emergent Conversation about Christians Leaving the Church
Part 4 - Why Words Are So Powerful

Steve: I believe a lot of lessons are being set in motion for us on the global scene, just by the economic instability in countries and climate change all around the globe. Mother Earth is crying out to be treated correctly and have good stewards. We’re setting up a number of lessons on that level, but even right now in our country, we are wondering which way we are going to go. Are we going to show love and take care of one another, or are we going to be selfish and see ourselves as separate? Even on the personal level, so many people that I know are having a lot of health things come up, conflicts in relationships, the same lesson is coming over and over again. Are we going to see ourselves as united as one people, one energy; or are we going to continue in separation, which is not working? We won’t be able to get through this life without having a chance at learning that lesson, I don’t believe. Today it’s really coming to a head.

Yvonne: Yes that’s what we’re learning, that we are one in spirit. We are one with each other. We are one with the earth. We are one with the animals. All life is valuable. That is what Spirit is trying to teach us, Oneness.

Steve: I loved the visual I got while reading The Celestine Prophecy. The individuals praying over the plant, watching the plant respond—a beautiful picture of oneness to me.

Yvonne: Mr. Masaru Emoto demonstrated oneness with water. People prayed over or spoke/wrote words and put them on containers of water, and the crystals changed formation.

Steve: Our words are powerful. That’s how we manifest our reality. When our heart and our mind are settled on one thing, we speak it out, we confess it with our mouth. That’s phraseology. Things happen.

Yvonne: The word was with God from the beginning and is God. God spoke and things came into being. We have that same life force in us. Our words have power to manifest our reality. It all starts with a thought or word, and we add our emotion; the next thing we know we have a creation whether it’s what we wanted or not—it may be a negative thing, but we get what we believe we should have. Even if it is condemnation or judgment from others, a loss of job, loss of health or whatever, we’re creating with our words at all times. Words are powerful. We have to be careful what we say

Steve: Every even our thoughts are prayers. The universe immediately starts to line up with what we think about and what we intend, so we better think about our thought life! Yvonne: No wonder the Bible encourages us to guard our hearts diligently for in it is the issues of life. Guard those thoughts. Guard those emotions.

Steve: It encourages us to think on things that are of a good report—anything pure, honest, true, lovely—think on these things.

Yvonne: That’s been one of my favorite verses—especially for the past two weeks. Well, we’ve come to the end of our interview. Is there one thing that you might say to encourage us from our conversation today?

Steve: Leave room for mystery and questioning; don’t get locked down when you find a comfortable place in your belief/faith system. Don’t drive too many tent stakes. Be ready to move on to something new. Never stop growing. If one door gets closed, there’s always another one to open. The Holy Spirit is always teaching and you will always discover new truth.

Yvonne: True, so true. I learn more every day.

Steve: This is the day for it too. We need a lot of guidance. It’s time for us to get still, enter the silence, and come back with the guidance and answers that we need.

Yvonne: Be still and know God.

Emergent Conversation about Christians Leaving the Church

Today is the third segment of my interview with Reverend Steve Brannon. We are continuing our discussion by introducing the Emergent Conversation.

Part 1 -Don’t Rock the Boat Lest You Want to Leave the Church Fellowship
Part 2 - Why Religion is No Longer Working for Most People
Part 3 - Emergent Conversation about Christians Leaving the Church
Part 4 - Why Words Are So Powerful

Yvonne: Steve, I love the way your book gives us the freedom to explore. Over and over again you say to seek the spirit within you; ask the Holy Spirit for direction and guidance. The law is written on your heart, so go there and find it!

Steve: The most exciting thing for me is not for someone to sit down and tell me what they’ve gotten all excited about reading scripture or any kind of wisdom book. I love to have them tell me what the Holy Spirit taught them or guided them into. If a new revelation has come to you, or a new understanding has come to you, I want to hear it! Let’s talk about this stuff. Now that’s reality, a spiritual life is reality. This relative plane that we are living on is not the real world. There’s a solar vibrational level and a higher truth to be found when we enter the silence within. I love it when people come out of their silence and are bubbling over. They are excited and their faith is growing. They’ve got something to say and I want to hear it!

Yvonne: Absolutely. Talk to me about the Emergent Conversation. How does The Two Agreements fit into it?

Steve: The Emergent Conversation or the Emergent Movement started around 1998 with some youth ministers from main line churches who saw the trend regarding what’s going on in Christianity and a big exodus of youth. Kids who were raised in church get to their twenties and bail. Not only are they not going to church anymore, they have really turned against it. They will never go back and they have no intention of following the religion of their parents. These ministers wanted to know what they could do about this. After they began talking, they got pretty liberal with their questioning. They began looking at the traditional ordained church that Christ commissioned and they wanted to get closer to it. As they did, they saw that the many dogmas and doctrines that had found a place in modern-day Christianity were not present in the first church. They’ve just been put added over the years. The church today has become contaminated by programs, doctrines, dogmas.

These leaders put everything on the table. They questioned whether there is a literal hell or heaven. Everything teaching was open to discussion. Well you can imagine this made quite an earthquake so to speak. The clergy in the larger organizations and seminaries started speaking out, writing books against the Emergent Conversation, and warning people about it. But again, if your belief system is so rigid that it can’t take a question, that’s a red flag. The first church was chaotic. They didn’t have a guide book. The Emergent Conversation was comfortable with chaos and realized that thisis just what you go through when trying to get some answers and being open to Spirit. You try some things and they don’t always work. All is not lost. The Holy Spirit is there to protect us, to guide us, to teach us. So the question is: are you going to be reliant on what you say you believe and stick to it even when it’s not working? Or are you going to rely on spirit to lead you? or are you going to go by your own understanding? The life line of Emergent is the Internet. Australia, New Zealand, and the UK are some of the larger, stronger areas of the Emergent Conversation. The US is rather slow about catching on, but once it got started in local faith communities, many congregations would sell their church building, take the money, and go help meet the needs of the community: those who are homeless and hungry. They started to practice what they saw happening in the first church and knew what was expected of them, which was not to keep up huge cathedrals, but to meet needs and actual taking some social justice stances.

Yvonne: Like that radical rascal, Jesus, did. He wasn’t one who hung out with religious people. He ministered to the people who needed him—those who recognized their need for a healer or someone to show them a better way. He was not one to be enshrined in a temple and wrapped up in religious theology.

Steve: No not at all. To be honest, a lot of folks would be pretty leery of having Jesus as a neighbor with all the people hanging out on his front porch.

Yvonne: They definitely would. They wouldn’t even recognize him.

Steve: They would be nervous with all the unsavory types coming out the door over there. That’s what this conversation wanted to pursue. Get back real go back to the roots as best as possible. The Two Agreements says that it’s well and good to follow the true teachings of Jesus, but not to get bogged down into the institution. That’s not what Jesus wanted. I don’t see where he said that he wanted to start a new religion. He really wanted folks to understand one thing: when you see me, you see the father. I am the father are one and I am one with you.

What you can do while you’re here on the planet is enjoy life as you enter the kingdom. It’s already here. It’s in you. It’s all around you and that kingdom is peace, joy, exuberance, and the knowledge that you have right standing with the power that puts you here in the first place. So don’t live in fear. You are one in the same with that energy and you have right standing. You can stand boldly and proudly as a divine being. It’s a sad thing that our children are being taught that they are less than divine.

Yvonne: They are taught to fear the god we have made in our own image—a god that is quite brutal and abusive. Look at the God that has been created through Christianity and in some belief systems and you have to think “if I had that kind of parent I would never go see him. I would never have anything to do with him.” Why have we made God, who is love, out to be a horrible, mean, unloving, punishing parent? We as humans treat out children much better that the Judeo-Christian God treats his kids?

Steve: Psychiatrists have had a field day with that one over the years. Why do humans want to beat themselves up so bad? Why do they feel so guilty? There’s been many books written on that. Some of them, Escape from Freedom, is a title that jumps out. Guilt and fear are things we have to deal with. We need to be healed in our minds first. Then it will go to our hearts, and then it will go into our body. Our first healing is right here realizing, professing it, and affirming it. I really am into affirmations. I like affirming “I AM ONE with God. I am one with the one who put me here, my creator. I am one with the source. I am one with life force.” Affirm that and feel it down in your gut, feel it in your heart, and get some healing going there. Yvonne: That always generates joy and gratitude generates all the fruits of the spirit. We were talking about how Jesus was with the outcasts of society. He was not hanging out in the temples. You also minister to some less fortunate people.
 
Steve: He went to where there was a need.

Yvonne: There’s a need everywhere, but the people who can be helped are the people who realize they need help.

Steve: That’s a very good point. There’s not very much help for a person who seems to already have all the answers. In The Two Agreements the word “mystery” is used throughout. My belief system leaves room for mystery. To say, “I do not know” is a full, complete answer. I always allow room for the Holy Spirit to keep filling me up and giving me answers. I enjoy working with folks who are bound together with a common purpose to help one another be well and live well. Some are focused on getting a need met and are living in what I might call a “teachable moment” or being receptive. There are always new questions coming up.

Part of my ministry is with inspirational support groups for folks suffering from depression and other mood disorders. There’s always a need for healing, understanding, and support there. Depression is the number-one crippling illness in the country. It’s not heart disease or diabetes or cancer. The number one illness that puts folks on disability and causes the loss of career or job is depression. I decided to work with that population and create the inspiration support group. We are a plurality of faith systems. We have folks in the Jewish, Christian, Catholic, and other faiths, yet we have created an understanding family. There’s a lot of laughter and hugging; there’s a lot of joking and kindness going on. Folks would never believe that this is the room where the depressed people meet. They would say, “Wait a minute! Isn’t that supposed to be depressed people down there?” The janitorial service at one of the buildings where we were meeting actually asked that question.

There are two things that all of us want to believe and feel: that at least one other person on the planet loves us just like we are. The second thing that we need, not just something we want, but something we need is to feel that someone understands us, gets us, just the way we are, no matter what is going on with us. These folks need that.

Yvonne: Depression many times is a result of our seeing ourselves as separate from God or separate from others and feeling the emptiness that comes from a mindset of not being understood or accepted. So, it makes sense that when people who feel rejection learn about oneness and become part of a family that cares about them, they would laugh and rejoice. It’s a natural bi-product of being loved.

Steve: Exactly, exactly. If you removed the judgment and condemnation out of Christianity and present the love that Jesus said would identify them (they’ll know you by your love for one another) we’d be looking at a revolution.

Yvonne: I know we would. That is the soul reunion or coming back to God we are experiencing in the ascension process. Realizing that we never were separate means accepting that we brought all this suffering on ourselves. Religions and dogmas teach and emphasize the illusion of separation.

Why Religion is No Longer Working for Most People

Today is the second segment of my interview with Reverend Steve Brannon. We are discussing the organized religion and why it’s not working for so many people. To read more about leaving organized religion and this interview with Steve Brannon, click the links below. Or, you may listen to the interview "Are You Spiritual.. or Religious?" here: http://bit.ly/JcOKFt

Part 1 -Don’t Rock the Boat Lest You Want to Leave the Church Fellowship
Part 2 - Why Religion is No Longer Working for Most People
Part 3 - Emergent Conversation about Christians Leaving the Church
Part 4 - Why Words Are So Powerful


Yvonne: We’re sharing what we’ve learned along the way, a hard lesson. I think a lot of people have become frustrated because they’re being told that they have to believe a certain way and like you said they are feeling “boxed in” or very limited. Fear is a part of the way the church controls the masses. If you don’t believe a certain way then there will be retribution or punishment. For me, I was told that I couldn’t play piano at one church, and that my husband couldn’t hold a leadership position because we questioned the authority of the pastor. They have their ways of keeping you in line. I realized in my heart that there was something much greater to be experienced and that there was truth in more than what I was hearing in the pulpit. There was truth in the Bible that was not being expressed. If you ask about the spiritual gifts that Jesus and the apostles of that time demonstrated, the Sunday School teachers might tell you, “Oh, those gifts have ceased now.” But then I would pray for people and they would be healed. I have the gift of discerning spirits and I know when there’s an entity in the room. So my experience personally was not lining up with what was being taught from the pulpit and I expected to adhere to someone else’s truth.

Steve: The gifts of the Spirit are in operation today, but the church condemns these gifts saying that psychics are “of the devil.” Yet, we can communicate telepathically with someone around the world without using the phone or computer. Spiritually, we are connected. Spiritually, we are one just like the name of this show. We have the liberty to use these gifts just like Jesus did. He was one with God and said we are too, but sadly that message has gotten lost. Christianity does not present that truth—instead, it keeps people in bondage to a separatist mindset. I encourage anyone who is looking for a faith community to ask these questions: #1: is it all inclusive? Does it include everybody? Does it eliminate anybody on any grounds? Race, belief systems, lifestyle, anything. #2: Is it grounded in love? Are they showing a divine or a true type of love toward you or are they wanting to manipulate you through fear? If you don’t believe the way they do and they make you feel guilty or shameful about your life or what you believe, keep on moving. If it doesn’t pass those two steps, stay away. Keep on searching.

Yvonne: That is very good advice. When I went through my divorce, I was excommunicated from the church I was attending. They said I didn’t pray enough and that I didn’t have enough faith in God to heal my marriage. I was praying five hours a day. I don’t know how I could’ve gotten anything else done if I prayed any more. It was time for me to move on because not only was my church affiliation limiting me, my marriage was limiting what I could do spiritually and how much I could grow. I could not expand my spiritual awareness without causing more conflict in that relationship.

Steve: When that does happen in our lives, we can still love and bless one another, wish one another well, and envision the best for the other. Letting go means believing that your partner or ex-spouse is going on their path; they are exactly where they are supposed to be at the right time, right place. Bless them and go on to whatever it is that you need to do spiritually.

Yvonne: Anytime you leave a situation or organization, whether it’s the church or a relationship, you have to forgive before you can truly move on. I stayed stuck in bitterness and anger many, many years after I left the church for good. I felt like I had been abused by the clergy and the whole system itself. But I began to work on this Oneness thing and realized there’s no us and them. Their suffering is my suffering. Religion worked for me for quite a number of years. It fulfilled a need in my heart as it still does for many people. Now that I’ve moved on and forgiven I have absolutely fallen in love again with Jesus Christ. Bible verses I memorized years ago now comfort me and I feel the Holy Spirit. Once again, I am asking to be filled with the Spirit. I am being drawn to praising the God within me, not some entity way out there in the sky that I’m going to go see some day after I die. The Spirit within me is the life force that gives me vitality, blessing, and health. Gratitude wells up in my heart—I’m so thankful I’m not in that cocoon where I couldn’t move forward, where I could never become the butterfly that I wanted to be. Through forgiveness I have become that butterfly. It’s so freeing.

Steve: Yeah, we can use life as a lesson. Every one of these intersections in life is about relationships. We have relationships with one another. We have relationships with society. We have a relationship with God. It’s on this relative plane, all it is, is relationships. Learning the lessons from each one of those, we go to the next lesson. All the events in your life are to teach us something and to help us grow into a higher consciousness.

Don’t Rock the Boat Lest You Want to Leave the Church Fellowship

As the owner of Writers in the Sky Creative Writing Services, I have assisted many authors with writing and writing, editing, and bringing books to market. While I no longer personally assist authors with this task, I do have a team of writers and editors able to provide this service (http://writersinthesky.com).

During the time that I helped Steve Brannon develop his book, The Two Agreements, we came to enjoy a divine friendship and I’m very pleased to see his book in print. As part of his book launch, I asked him to be my guest on We Are One in Spirit Podcast where he shared thoughts about why so many people are leaving organized religion. I will share segments of this interview in written format over the next few days. In fact, here are the links to those other posts:

Or, you may listen to the interview, "Are You Spiritual.. or Religious?," here: http://bit.ly/JcOKFt

But first, here’s some background on Steve. Steve left the Christian church after the clergy excommunicated him from his local fellowship. He was the youth camp director for a fellowship of churches in 1976 while he was stationed at an Air Force base in Oklahoma. He was having home Bible studies and prayer meetings with some of the members of the congregation when he felt led to open up a house for young people and folks living on the street to come in and fellowship. These people didn’t have a faith system that they were following. When he shared this vision with the ministers he was working with, it didn’t go over well. They did not allow meetings outside of a church building. He was excommunicated from the church when he told the senior pastor that he was going to follow through with the home group study.
The charismatic movement was going on in the middle 70s. Some of the attendees hailed from Methodists, Baptists and Catholic belief systems. Once they saw what was going on, they caught the vision for the family atmosphere and spiritual work. There was so much love, so much grace.

After the fellowship had been open for three weeks there was a knock at the door. A deputy sheriff stopped by to introduce himself and see what the group was up to. That particular house had been a drug house where dealers were selling marijuana and had been busted it several times. Steve had left the Air Force by that time and his hair was long, he had a full beard, and was wearing bell button jeans. He fit the picture of a radical child of the times!

The group quickly outgrew the house and secured a stand-alone building in the inner city. This Christian center was having regular services and meetings when Steve turned the leadership of the group over to a young couple who had just finished Bible college. This husband and wife team is still pastoring the congregation today, 36 years later.

Yvonne: Every minute of the typical church services is formulated, planned, and organized. It’s so regimented and structured that the Spirit can’t get a word in edgewise. The church is a system; it’s an organization, and the love for which Christians are supposed to be known has taken a backseat to gossip and backbiting. However, this laid back group of people that Steve was shepherding enjoyed offering input and having discussions about spiritual things rather than being spoon-fed a doctrine from the pulpit. I personally think many people are tired of being told what to think, believe, and do. That they don’t have an opportunity to express what is on their heart and if they do they end up being excommunicated from the church for rocking the boat and causing waves.

The pastor of the last church I left tagged my husband and me as troublemakers because we didn’t go along with a financial decision he made without consulting the congregation—that pastor’s decision obligated the tithing members to more debt on an already tightly-strapped budget.

Steve: The popular interpretation of the Bible and New Testament story regarding the life of Jesus gives way to judgment, condemnation, and even damnation of folks who do not think a particular way. There’s rigidity and resistance when someone wants to question a doctrine or decision. My reinterpretation explains that the whole theme is not about trying to recover a fallen sinful nature of man, but it’s actually working to enlighten the hearts and minds of everyone. There is no distance or separation between us and God. There’s no separation between us and one another. There’s nothing to fight about. There’s nothing to war about. We’re all on the same team.

It’s just a matter of allowing the spirit to grow in us and lead us into spontaneous works like what I did in Oklahoma. When you follow your heart you have freedom in spirit. Without the church telling me what I can and cannot do, I feel like I’m living in a virtual spiritual candy store! I can believe whatever I want to believe and follow the Holy Spirit, knowing that Spirit is going to protect me and keep me from harming myself. We are unlimited in the things we can do.

I read your blogs. I read your books. I see the ways that you have broadened yourself, deepened and gained a depth in your life that you could have never had in the religion system you were in. You’re a very good example to the rest of us of the freedom we have today. That’s the freedom The Two Agreements is pointing toward. I’m trusting that my book will be a bridge for many people like us who were on the wrong track and boxed in. We knew that there was a voice inside—a hunger inside of us saying, “Hey there’s more. There’s gotta be more than this.” When we open our mind and heart to it, the door begins to open, opportunities come into play, and next thing we know, we’re writing books and teaching others.

Empaths Becoming More Aware

One empath I spoke with said he is becoming more aware of the energy around him and the spiritual gifts he has. Yet at the same time he has been somewhat afraid of it. For him, this stems from religious philosophies, which told him that these are not gifts of God—that they are really from the devil. You may have been brought up to believe that these types of sensitivities are evil, but at the same time (even as a child) you’ve had awareness, sensations, feelings, or inner knowings. If so, you may be a little conflicted about how to approach their use. Perhaps you haven’t tried to develop these gifts because you are afraid you’ll go too far or don’t know what kind of boundaries you should set.

First let’s take a look at a beloved teacher, Jesus. Once he was in a crowd of people when a woman touched the hem of his garment. Instantly he knew virtue (healing energy) had gone out of him and he asked, “Who touched me?” He was that sensitive! He felt it when someone was tapping into his electromagnetic field even though she only touched his clothing! I remind you of the verse that tells us that every good and perfect gift, spiritual gifts, comes from God. There are many spiritual gifts listed in 1 Corinthians 13: the gift of prophecy, the gift of tongues, the gift of the interpretation of tongues, discerning of spirit, healing, working of miracles, etc. These are listed for our benefit so we understand that we have been gifted in some way. And there’s a responsibility to use those gifts with love. We weren’t given these gifts to hide them from the world or be afraid of them. They are tools to help us and others. When we have these intuitive gifts, it is very important to nurture our own spirit and set boundaries to keep from being bombarded by energy from everybody out there. We must love ourselves before we can love others or else there’s nothing to give. Spending time with God-Goddess is like refueling a car. You can’t run very long without more juice!

When Jesus was walking the Earth some people wanted to stone him some wanted to throne him. There was a vast difference in perspective and what people thought of him. We empaths have that same dilemma. Other people may not understand you. Maybe they are afraid of the gifts you have. Through our religious teachings we have been taught that the discerning of spirits or being able to communicate with those in the afterlife is of the devil. I’ve been called a necromancer by a close member of my family. Obviously, my gifts are not appreciated there. Does that stop me from using them? No, I use them because I have been given these gifts and I have a responsibility to use them wisely; and that’s what I intend to do. Do I flaunt them in front of my disapproving family members? No, that’s what the Bible refers to as casting your pearls before swine. I'm not calling anyone a pig. I'm saying that there’s no need in putting something so valuable out there and allowing your gifts and sensitivities to be trampled. You can decide who you reveal your gifts to and who you use them with. In fact I’ve made it a practice that unless I have permission to pray for someone I just don’t do it. You can easily get your energy tangled up in someone else’s by meddling energetically in another person’s stuff.

Some people have a great sensitivity to energy and they see things or get impressions. They may intuitively know what is going on in another person’s life. You are not obligated to help every person you encounter, but there is something you can do. Before you decide to get involved pray about it. Breathe deeply for a few minutes and ask yourself if you should do/say anything about what you have discovered. How do you feel when you think of saying something or offering to help? Does it feel right? Do you have pain anywhere in your body or emotions? If so, avoid getting involved on a human level. If a person has not asked you to help them, they may not want your help. Do you feel lighter, joyful, or happy when you think of helping this person or mentioning what you have discerned? If so, ask for wisdom about what to do and how to approach the person.

If you keep thinking of someone and sense they need help, you may or may not need to approach them on a human level. You can always send love and light to guide their way. Simply call upon the angels to help. Imagine a beautiful beam of light coming from the cosmos, maybe pink or green. Pink represents the heart or love; green represents healing. See this beam of light going toward and surrounding the person in need. This powerful energy is like a stem cell that has divine intelligence and knows where it is needed and what to do when it gets there. This not only gives them energy to work with, it gives them clarity so they can make good decisions. They may be able to feel that strength undergirding and supporting them. If something needs changing, they can apply that energy however they want to. If it’s healing, if it’s a relationship, if it’s emotional/mental issue, it doesn’t matter, the love and light is universal. Just send that energy and let them do with it what they want as spirit directs them. By sending love and light, you are not trying to manipulate any outcome or change anything in another person’s circumstances or life. You’re not violating their free will or “fixing” a situation their soul has created from which to learn its lesson. Sending positive energy to someone is like leaving a gift on their doorstep. It provides what they need but they never know who sent the gift and you won’t have to take on other people’s stuff. You will know who and when you need to help as well as how. If you follow your inner guidance, you’ll intuitively know how far you need to go with your help and what you need to do to strengthen your own boundaries.

If someone asks you to pray for them, then you have a responsibility to use your gifts. But, rather than using your body or emotional center (third chakra) to feel and sense, use your sixth chakra, which is also called the third eye, to see or know where you need to direct energy. It’s when we try to operate out of our own emotions and our own physical strength that we are going to be drained. But when we operate from divine power, the place of the sacred heart, it’s not us doing the work; we’re simply being a conduit. We are able to be the light, and by being the light, we’re being God. And we don’t have to worry about backlash or be concerned about what other people think.

So if you are worried about what you have been taught regarding your intuitive gifts or concerned about what other people are saying, remember where the laws of God are written. The laws that the psalmist David was talking about are not written on tablets of stone or in a book, nor are they found in religion. They are written in your heart. If something doesn’t feel right, and you have conflict about it, always go with the truth your heart reveals to you.

Psychic Gifts and Mediumship

When Sheryl Glick was my guest on We Are One in Spirit Podcast, she spoke about psychic gifts and mediumship. I’ll share a few highlights from that interview here and you may listen to the entire interview at http://dld.bz/bqFzj.

Sheryl: There’s a difference between a psychic and a medium and a healer. They’re different energies. A psychic receives information from another person’s aura or chakra system. A psychic is getting more from the person from their physical life. A medium receives information from a higher vibrational being, evolved soul, departed loved one, or an angel.

We all have this innate guidance system and we know what’s good for us. We have these vibes, these intuitions or senses, but very often we don’t listen to them. Because we think Oh, I better just pay attention to my mind, my ego and what other people are saying to me and sometimes we make wrong choices because of that. It’s important that you follow your inner guidance if you want to develop it.

If you take Reiki healing, it will open up channels and you will be drawn to like-minded people. You can join a group a meditation group and these gifts to enhance. The gifts increase when you’re in a framework of people, who are seekers of this understanding of energy and life—physical and spiritual life. Awareness is the first step of developing the gifts to a higher level.

Precognition is a blend of mediumship or psychic modalities. It’s coming from someone upstairs who is throwing a thought to you. It also could be because you have seen that person or sensed something about that person recently and you are aware that something is happening to them. It’s not always easy to tell how the information is coming in. All psychics are not mediums, but all mediums are using psychic abilities. So the psychic gift might be the beginning manifestation and as you go along further you might develop medium abilities, which is getting messages from higher source.

Are You Spiritual.. or Religious?

Are you fed up with a religion that frowns upon people who think for themselves and prefers to tell you what you can and cannot do?

Are you tired of being told you are a sinner rather than a divine spark of God?

Those who are questioning the doctrine, dogma, and management of the church system will appreciate the fresh approach to the “good news” story that author S.L. (Steve) Brannon shares in his new book, The Two Agreements: A Good News Story for Our Time, which retells the greatest story ever told. This reinterpretation of the gospel, coupled with the Emergent Conversation and quantum science, asks those who love Jesus, the Bible, and the Christian-faith community to re-evaluate their position.

If you are satisfied with your spiritual life as it is, you do not need to read Steve’s book. His work challenges everyone to rethink the “saint and sinner” doctrine, embracing all humanity regardless of race, gender, religion, and past “sins.” The book compels you to examine the religious box you’ve been squeezing your belief into, without questioning leaders who have long been put upon a pedestal.

Today (Thursday, April 26, 2012) on We Are One in Spirit Podcast, Steve Brannon shares his reinterpretation of the Bible, which shines a light on your perfect relationship with the Divine, teaching you how to live freely yet securely in your eternal connection.

As you gain new awareness of true salvation, you will experience peace beyond belief. Join us each week for WAO Podcast to ask spiritual questions and get solid answers! Access to these free calls is below.

Emergent Movement & Oneness in the New Age

Author Steve Brannon will be joining us on We Are One in Spirit Podcast this Thursday. Steve enjoys sharing the reinterpretation of the Bible with anyone who crosses his path. First licensed as a minister at age 19, he planted a church four years later. He holds a Doctorate of Divinity from the University of Esoterica.

His book, The Two Agreements, is inspired by his journey from fundamentalist Christianity to a true understanding of man’s relationship to God. The book is based, not only on years of theological studies, but also on a lifelong quest to know Christ and the real meaning of Salvation. His desire is for The Two Agreements message to bring others who hunger for that knowledge into the Emergent Conversation.

Currently, Steve is an interfaith spiritual minister who offers counseling, teaching, and inspirational materials to ex-offenders. He also assists ex-offenders in securing admission into local support groups, mental health services, and temporary employment. His not-for-profit (501(c) 3) organization allows him to minister through two inspirational support groups for individuals suffering depression and other mood disorders, and their friends and family. The group, whose members represent Catholic, Protestant, and independent belief systems, is an example of spiritual unity for the greater community.

TODAY: Take a Journey to Joy -- for Free

Author and Peace Minister Charlene M. Proctor hosts a positively divine online event on Monday April 23rd, 2012.

If we were to believe what we see in the media, it would seem there is an overwhelming amount of suffering in the world. Even in the affluent West, chronic stress and depression are frequent topics in the News, affecting so many people in their personal and professional relationships, and their overall happiness.

But in spite of all this, there walk among us a few "spiritual messengers" who see the world quite differently. These guides tell us that the root of suffering lies in our belief that we are separate and alone, when in truth we are all intimately connected to the Divine, the Whole—the One. And when we understand this Oneness fully, we will see and experience Joy all around us.

Author Charlene M. Proctor, Ph.D. is one such messenger. As an ordained Minister of Spiritual Peacemaking and a Deeksha facilitator trained by oneness guides from Fiji and India, Charlene is on a mission to spread this message of Joy. Truly, Charlene's her entire life's work is devoted to help awaken the Divine magnificence within all humanity.

That's why Charlene is inviting everyone a FR*EE webinar TONIGHT (Monday April 23rd) at 7pm EDT called "Your Journey to Joy". On this uplifting and informative broadcast, Charlene will talk about how we develop our belief in separation and suffering, how those beliefs get stored as trauma in the body, and how to change our inner reality so we can experience JOY in every aspect of our lives.

You can register for this beautiful fr*ee event at http://onenessgospel.com/book-launch/pages/pre-launch.html If you cannot attend the live broadcast, register anyway to get access to the audio replay.

The "Your Journey to Joy" webinar is based upon the teachings of Charlene's brand new book, The Oneness Gospel: Birthing the Christ Consciousness and Divine Human in You.

The Oneness Gospel is a rich mix of East and West, and science and mysticism, transcending the boundaries of religion, and uplifting the reader to that place of Oneness where Joy resides.
In a style that is both accessible and inspirational, Charlene expertly weaves together philosophy and practice, bringing us an understanding that there is ultimately only one purpose in life—to achieve Oneness with the Divine.
The Oneness Gospel is celebrating its official Amazon launch this Tuesday April 24th. During the "Your Journey to Joy" webinar, you'll find out how to pick up your copy of the book and how to receive these wonderful "thank you" gifts from Charlene and her friends and colleagues:

• The MP3 download from the "Your Journey to Joy Webinar" AND
• An invitation to "Twelve Principles for Becoming a Divine Human", a special online discussion with Charlene coming in May 2012, AND
• A complete library of downloadable spiritual and personal development gifts from authors, speakers, coaches and other enlightened professionals from around the globe.
I do hope you'll join me in tuning into the "Your Journey to Joy" webinar, and that you'll have a look at Charlene's beautiful new book The Oneness Gospel. 
Again, here's the link to register for the webinar and to find out more about the book and the free gifts: http://onenessgospel.com/book-launch/pages/pre-launch.html

Wishing you a joy-filled day!

A Pathway to Spiritual Communication

Today on We Are One in Spirit, Reverend Lynn Kent joins us to chat about her new book, My Pathway to Spiritual Communication. Lynn’s first spirit communication happened 25 years ago with her departed maternal grandmother. Soon afterward she confirmed the information she was given with her mother and aunts. From that experience she decided to learn about spirit communication and with the help of her husband, to bring this information and experience to the public. Lynn is now an Ordained Minister and Certified Medium with the National Spiritualist Association of Churches and is on the ministerial staff with the First Spiritualist Church of Springfield Massachusetts, NSAC.

The Oneness Gospel

Today on We Are One in Spirit Podcast, author Charlene M. Proctor will be my guest to speak on a topic that is near and dear to my heart: Oneness.

As we seek the holy presence of God-Goddess within us, we are seeing a shift in the behavior and lives of individuals; as well as the restructuring of entire governments and national politics. This seeming upheaval is having a positive effect—we are reclaiming the experiential knowledge of our connection with our creator, others, the earth, and animals. We are daily recognizing that we can and do live in co-creative partnership with the divine presence within us. And, the fact that so many people are embracing Oneness is creating a shift in mass consciousness.The vibration of these seekers and the ascended masters who are now among us is changing life as we know it.  

Charlene has written a new book that brings us back to the essence of true spirituality. The Oneness Gospel: Birthing the Christ Consciousness and Divine Human in You is a rich mix of science, spirituality, and mysticism that transcends the boundaries of religion, and uplifts the reader to that place of oneness. An ordained Minister of Spiritual Peacemaking and a Deeksha facilitator trained by the oneness guides from Fiji and India, Charlene's mission in life is to help awaken to their Divine magnificence within all humanity.

Join the new interactive format of We Are One in Spirit Podcast. It offers you, our listeners, the opportunity to call in and ask questions to me and my guests. This week's guest, Charlene Proctor, shares with us her new book, The Oneness Gospel: Birthing the Christ Consciousness and Divine Human in You.

Below is the replay of Charlene's interview, followed by instructions on how you can call in and join the discussion next time:

Charlene is the bestselling author of Let Your Goddess Grow! 7 Spiritual Lessons on Female Power and Positive Thinking and The Women's Book of Empowerment: 323 Affirmations That Change Everyday Problems Into Moments of Potential. Her Midwestern sensibility and spiritual approach to self-empowerment has helped thousands awaken to their Divine magnificence within.

Yesterday, Charlene visited Michael David Lawrience at http://www.emotionalhealthtips.com/the-oneness-gospel, where they talked about creating consciously, Divine Grace and Divine Human.

I'd like to share with you a recent interview I had with Charlene when I got to ask her some questions on oneness movement, cutting cords and mass enlightenment. I hope you enjoy it.

Yvonne Perry: What is ‘The Oneness Movement’?

Charlene M. Proctor: Oneness is not a religion, cult or faith that demands your conversion or change in your beliefs or practices. It is a system that helps you discover the truth of your own faith through a direct personal experience of the divine. It is not an alternative path but a natural fulfillment of your every spiritual aspiration.

The purpose of the Oneness Movement is to awaken the human family, offering a gift of grace of spiritual opening (flowering of the heart) to all people rather than a few selective seekers as in the past. It is meant to restore wholeness within humanity as well as with the world environment.
The Oneness Movement teachings are coming from India, and originated from a couple named Sri Amma and Sri Bhagavan. They consider themselves one unified, avataric consciousness. They are God-realized and were initiating the collective force of unified consciousness in the form of something called the Oneness Blessing. It’s actually Deeksha, but the difference between them and all who have gone before is that they are teaching everyone how to give it. They are interested in creating individual change through this neurobiological event and say it happens through grace, once you invite grace into your being. It’s available for everyone and is currently helping millions of people around the world awaken to a greater sense of self-worth and boundless joy.

Yvonne Perry: How do you cut the cords of past issues and old programming?

Charlene M. Proctor: Filtering life through “old programming” is a widespread experience that many people feel they are living life unconsciously. Their reaction to current day situations stems from past behaviors or experiences that prevent them from living a full life. Old programming is the carryover of emotional patterns. We inherit these patterns from culture and our families. Negative statements such as “women cannot do this” or “you are not good enough” are examples. Religion is responsible for a lot of societal conditioning, as well as old traumas, dramas, or stories. This becomes a ‘knee jerk reaction to living’ and results in a person living on autopilot where every experience is filtered through old programming. A step toward personal growth is a willingness to release the past and chose the present moment, to a life that is filled with joy and awareness of what is.

Affirmations are positive present day statements that bring awareness of WHAT IS. Remember, all conditioning is negative because it takes away our awareness of what is. We resolve it by being aware, seeing, asking for grace. So, be willing to look at any conditioning that alters your view of reality.

In India, there is a process called Samskara Shuddhi. Shuddhi is a Sanskrit word that translates as "cleansing or purification." Indeed there are many types of purification. There is physical cleansing that can be achieved through techniques such as nadis shuddhi, alternate nostril breathing. Samskara Shuddhi is the practice of cleansing past impressions, experiences or relationships (samskaras).
You enter a fairly intense process of self-examination during which you are offered the opportunity to see yourself from many facets, including the deep, dark and ugly. You see and clear your emotional issues, your negative conditioning and childhood patterns, and let go of the fixed ideas that have held you in suffering for so long. You then move along into a process of emptying, through which you see "through" the self, and thereby free yourself from the self. From this new state of being, one is prepared for others phases of awakening.

Yvonne Perry: What is mass enlightenment? How can you change the world through it?

Charlene M. Proctor: The idea of mass enlightenment is based on natural law. Whether you call it the 'hundredth monkey phenomenon' or the law of 'entrainment', the idea is that when you have a certain number of people holding a 'higher' state of consciousness, what we call a 'critical mass', the mass consciousness automatically comes into resonance with it.

A 'morphogenetic field' is a term coined by biologist Rupert Sheldrake to represent a field of consciousness specific to a given species. The more members of a species that exhibit a certain trait, or vibrate to a certain consciousness, the easier it becomes for all the other members of that species to 'entrain' with that trait or consciousness!

One thing the Oneness University teaches is enlightenment is not earned, it is freely given. Enlightenment is simply the shift from ego to essence. It is the place we live from our heart center.

Feeling the Energy That Places Emit

Mt. Shasta, the Himalayas, Sedona, and other places around the world have a high vortex of extraordinary energy that you can feel when you are there. Empaths are highly-sensitive people (HSP) who can feel energy anywhere—good, bad, or indifferent. They even feel energy at the Wal-Mart!

When some empaths walk into a shopping center they may suddenly get sluggish because the energy is very heavy whenever people are making a lot of choices. Decisions about spending money may generate a feeling of lack, anger, or fear. They see someone wearing a nice outfit and perhaps there is jealousy. There are a lot of negative or lower vibrations in public places—some tend to have more harmful or uncomfortable unpleasant energies than others. And the duration of your stay can make a difference as well. For example, visiting someone in the hospital for several hours might feel much worse than stopping by the gas station to fill your car’s tank. But, sensitive people can feel all of it.

It’s important to focus on the positive, uplifting energy of your own divinity within you whenever you are in public. Think of how you feel the wonderful divine energy when you are in the beauty of nature! Mentally go there to rejuvenate and renew yourself by feeling grateful, blessed, loved, and happy. By spending five minutes in your Sacred Heart Center before you leave home, you can carry this high-vibrational energetic signature with you all day. It will beam forth from your heart full of love. A cup that is overflowing cannot receive anything more, it must spill over. And, since your fullness is from an unlimited Source, you never have to run dry; you can continually be filled with Spirit.

Messages from the Angels of Transparency: Powerful Words from Gentle Souls

Those who are interested in practicing healing without taking on the energy of their clients, will be interested to learn how author Gaetano Vivo manages to see 15 or more clients per day and never gets tired or pulled down by the detrimental energy that those on his treatment table are releasing. Hint: it's by channeling (directing) Source energy and working with the angels rather than using your own energy.

Listen to Gaetano Vivo and Yvonne Perry on We Are One in Spirit Podcast discuss Messages from the Angels of Transparency: Powerful Words from Gentle Souls. In this discussion, the following topics were mentioned:

• DO WE REALLY COME INTO THIS WORLD ALONE? No, we all have spirit (non-physical) guides and guardian angels who are always ready to help us on our journey through life.
• LIVING A TRANSPARENT LIFE Defining what it means to live transparently; a life based upon integrity, authenticity, and trust.
• OUR PART IN DIVINE CREATION as 2012 unfolds. The possible outcomes for all life on planet Earth when we choose to engage actively and positively in manifesting a better way to journey through life. 
• THE NEW EARTH IN THE 5TH DIMENSION. How the Earth and human consciousness is shifting to a community-based matriarch system.

He is a member of the Complementary Medical Association of Great Britain, the International Council of Holistic Therapies, the International Association of Reiki Professionals and the Noetic Association of America. From a young age he has experienced the calling of others who wish to pass on teachings and wisdom in order to make lighter work of our time here on Earth.

Although, due to being brought up in a strict Catholic community, he was forced to ignore this information, he never forgot what he had received. For decades, Gaetano has been treating clients from all walks of life, regardless of faith or creed, believing that the healing power of love is open to all of us. When not touring he divides time between his homes in England and Italy and takes great delight in his garden.
