In every social psych class we are told the harrowing story of Kitty Genovese... a woman who in a bustling neighborhood in 1964 cried for help while being brutally attacked. Of the many residents in the apartment building, no one came to her aid instead allowing death to find her.
This was the culture of the era. Don't speak up, don't get involved and keep to your own business. This callous behavior was the norm and was an "expected and predictable" human reaction.
Now, the tides have changed and offer yet more proof of a miraculous world in transition. We don't keep quiet, we speak when we see wrong and we step in to assist when we can affect change.
Last night, a SLC family man charges the attacker of a woman outside of his house with a samurai sword. Collecting the suspect's fallen chapstick, the avenger shouts "I got your DNA and your license plate. You're so done."
Particularly hard hitting for me was a recent stabbing spree in a Texas college (just 4 miles from my childhood home). Rather than run away in panic, 2 young men ran toward the deranged student and tackled him to the ground, detaining him until police arrived. They took to social media to share their victory.
Dr. Steven Greer, a well spoken bad ass, has been questioning the government cover up of life outside of our planet for nearly 40 years. In numerous federal and well publicized attempts, he has brought forward government officials and scientists to share their stories of new energy research and cover ups at the highest level of government. He has witnessed countless mysterious deaths of colleagues and so called whistle blowers, even facing his own battle with cancer in which 2 friends also oddly contracted and later died of. This is conspiracy at its highest level and despite his public ridicule and attempts at being silenced, he persevered. This week he launched the documentary Sirius which, without sensationalism or mass funding, shows his ongoing struggle to share and expose truth.
What I found most interesting wasn't just the cover up of life outside of our own, but the reasons behind it.... financial greed and the need to keep in place destructive and outdated energy resources. Nikola Telsa among myriad other pioneering physicists have generated power and created energy in ways that will shut down the need for oil and nuclear power. Yet we are kept from these realities and scientists killed so these are never made public.
If you want to venture a lil gentler into this rabbit hole, Thrive offers a larger view of how this country systematically sets the people up to not question and to make a selected few wealthier by the day. Foster Gamble ties together GMOs, the current financial duress, our education system and yes, even ET life, and shows how they are all intentionally allowing us to stay ill informed consumers.
We are fortunate to live in a day and age in which awareness is our greatest strength. We are afforded a most unique opportunity to seek out and challenge those things which have been denied us. If ET life and renewable energy isn't your thing, find something else you can uncover truth in. We are sheep no more and how very riveting it can be when a people find their sovereignty!
As a shaman, I often am confronted with the heart vs mind debate and find it's in the head where most people get stuck. To say "shake it off" is really a challenge for some but, it is the key to moving forward and embracing greater change. The crucial piece in getting out of stuck and bringing joy back into your world is living from the heart.
To get out of the head and into the heart can be for some the longest journey. But if we can reassign our gorgeous brain a better purpose, we can free ourselves from the confines it ultimately creates.
The ground rules:

Our brains are powerful machines intended to guide and automate functions of the physical body. The brain keeps our hearts beating, keeps our eyes blinking and tells our body how to break down food and turn it into energy.
Our hearts are the true master of our being. The heart shows us what is in our highest truth, what is in our best interests and how we should behave in the world in service to ourselves and God.
The new energies on the planet are forcing our hearts to be the guiding force. In heart there is truth, passion, joy and emotion. In our head fear, thoughts, sickness and limitation exist. Outside of the dictates of our brains, no fear exists. Period.
Recently while working with a client, the Ascended Master Thoth came in teaching us that the brain is really nothing more than the sail of the ship. It can catch air and direct, but it alone will only lead the ship astray. It is the captain, the heart, that can safely get the ship and its crew to the right destination.
Our hearts, emotions, and feelings must now direct us. Chills up your spine and zaps of energy are atuning us with heart energy. These physical sensations is our heart communicating with us! Our heart can send messages of change and healing to our brain and it is time we let it!
TRY THIS:
Rather than trust what your brain says... those lil nagging voices that let you feel small... instead step into your heart and ask if this is your truth? Are you really not good enough? Are you crazy? Are they all gonna laugh at you? Chances are not. But the brain, in it's quest to keep you safe, physically viable and alive, doesn't like trying new things, embracing new concepts or letting go of what keeps it feeling safe and comfy. When we ponder new endeavors any triggers we have may flood to the surface, in an effort to keep us safe. These triggers are often felt as fear... and darlin brilliant one, fear is often just a thought.
Conquer those demon thoughts and allow your heart to step in to allow greater happiness, joy and experiences. In your heart is your truth and it shall set you free!
