BEING FOR THE LIGHT AND GOOD and Not AGAINST THE DARK

This is a response to a comment made recently on an FB post I shared by my beloved ex-husband

Rick Pieters

.

He commented that “We must stand up for the good and against the dark.” And in this time when the dark is screaming with its cruel voice, it seems like this is correct. And in quickly replying to comments, I agreed with Rick. I said, “Yes, of course.” But then later I thought, NO. we mustn’t be against the dark, we must only be FOR the Light. The Light erases the darkness. Turn on a light in a dark room, and voila, the darkness is gone. But if we walk into a dark room and say “Stop, being dark,” though we stand firmly against the dark, it stays dark. After awhile our eyes adjust to the dark, and we can see a little bit. And we begin to think that is normal. So, the dark has won us over to its side. But if we simply walk across the room and turn on the light switch, we can see perfectly, and we are suddenly living in the light, and not squinting in the dark.

What we have done by trying to be against the darkness is to give the darkness power over us.

Everyone is familiar with the expression, What you resist will persist. And yet, we persist in resisting constantly with the same outcome. What we resist continues to persist. Isn’t that just the craziest thing?

After the 2016 election, there was the great Resist movement. We were reminded constantly to not stop resisting. And it kept us feeling good about ourselves, but it didn’t really do much. In fact, we saw what we were resisting getting stronger and stronger. But we kept resisting. Until a couple of months ago when George Floyd was killed and Black Lives Matter surged into the streets and the consciousness of America. And the difference, the reason that so much has happened so quickly, is because Black Lives Matter is FOR the good. Not against the dark. Yes, we want the police to stop killing black people. But the underlying theme, and the energy that is propelling the movement is FOR Black Lives Mattering. The people in the streets, for the most part, are driven by the desire to make life better FOR Black people.

It may seem like a subtle difference, and yet its impact is immense. In the sixties Dr. King’s movement was FOR Civil Rights. FOR the betterment of Black People’s lives.

Anything that you push against makes that which you are pushing against push back harder, thus energizing that which you are pushing against.

So, when we say stand against the dark, just the word and action of being against builds the strength of the dark.

But when we are FOR the Light, the light continues to shine and blot out the darkness. And the more Light we shine, the more the darkness tries to hide, but if we go around turning on all the lights, it makes it more and more impossible for the darkness to find hiding places.

As we stand right now facing the greatest darkness that this country has seen since the Civil War, we must Stand For the Light. And we must stand For the Goodness. And we must stand For Love of our fellow human beings, and we must stand For Compassion. We must be FOR THE LIGHT, and the darkness will have nothing to push against, and it will lose its strength.

The difficulty we have in being FOR the Light and the Goodness, and not being against the darkness, is that our culture is addicted to drama, and angst, and we end up spending most of our time talking about how awful the darkness is. This, of course, does nothing but energize the dark.

It does take self-discipline to disengage from the drama and the complaining and the firing up each other’s fears. But this is a time that calls for discipline, and for Action FOR the Good. For the LIGHT.

Please join me in Standing FOR the Light, and In the Light, and as more and more Lights are turned on the darkness will disappear, as if by magic. But not magic, the simple fact that Light ends darkness.

Blessed be,

Barbara

And thus it begins...the great awakening - love from Barbara Wilder

Here we are in the midst of the first ever complete and total world crisis. And there is no war. What's going on? It's so weird that our logical minds simply can't grasp it. And, of course, when something so unusual and so dramatic happens that disrupts every part of normal life, the first place most of us go to is fear, or denial. Some of us, those of us who have been on the front lines doing the inner work for many years in preparation for this time are less fearful, and some even gleeful. But that does not mean that the fear or the denial and the anxiety aren't real.

And even I, who have been on the task force for forty-five years, had no idea that it would present itself as a virus named Covid19 or any other name, for that matter.

I'm writing this on March 22, 2020, and things are so fluid and moving so fast, that it's anybody's guess what will be happening on March 23 or beyond, because we are in the most powerful place in spiritual growth and development that there is, the "UNKNOWN." And the amazing thing is that we are doing it physically apart from each other, but spiritually together. In our isolation we are being guided to go deeper into our own unique psyches and strip away the masks and costumes that we have been wearing in the old normal world, so that we can discover and begin to grow into our true selves - our Sovereign selves, who will be able to come out of  sheltering in place as more complete human beings, who know our own true nature, both remarkable and flawed. Humbled a bit, more compassionate, and more ready to take our part in the co-creation of the New Culture. A culture that is based on loving, caring, and sharing.

It's hard to believe, but it's true. This is the beginning of the great awakening of humanity. I'm sure there will be setbacks and glitlches in our new inner software, but this is what is happening. And the quicker we can embrace this new truth, the faster it will come into being.

My sense is that we will be in this sheltering in place state until enough of us let go of our fears, and open our hearts to our own light and our own sovereign power.  

We have lived in a top-down culture that is based on exclusion, domination, fear, and the belief that there is not enough to go around for far too long. And that kind of cruel and heartless culture can no longer survive. Thus, we are being taken out of the culture for this period of time, how ever long that will be. And though there is the fear of the virus itself, the greater fear is about our livelihoods. And because we are so used to having to work slavishly to support ourselves and our families, we can't believe that we will be able to survive this kind of stoppage of the normal way we are taken care of. Because, and this is especially true for in the U.S., no one really takes care of us. We are mired in the good old American work ethic that says you must pull your own weight. If you can't then you aren't working hard enough, you're lazy, you're not as good as those who know how to work this untenable, loveless system.

Well, interestingly, the government is finding itself having to step up and take measures to take care of us during this event. And this has happened over the span of less than ten days. No taxes have to be paid until July. Some amount of money ($1000 or more) is being sent to every American. There are rules being put in place for mortgages and rents and other bills to be halted for the time being. And more. It's a miracle if you stop and think about it.

I tend to believe this is the Divine Feminine energy rising up from the depths of Mother Earth, bringing forth this incredible moment of transformation. This moment of stopping, and taking stock. Allowing HER to take the reigns and guide us - giving us the luxury of time. 

Time to reconsider our lives. Who we are, and what we are meant to be doing on our glorious planet. Our beautiful Mother Earth seems to be healing faster than any could imagine in just the short time we have been staying indoors. The pollution levels dropped to even zero in some places. The dolphins, swans and fish have returned to the Venice canals in Italy. And more good news about our Mother Earth is emerging daily.

I was talking to a friend today who works at a small company that is now working from home and have daily meetings online. Each member of the team was asked to open the daily meetings with something inspiring - a poem, a meditation, a song. Well, the first day, the head of accounting had the task of opening the meeting. And it turns out she used to be a drummer, so she dusted off some special kind of drum and played it brilliantly, moving the whole team almost to tears. And she began to cry, because she had not played for over two years. The next day, a young man, who worked in admin, and who had been a musician played and sang one of his own songs that spoke to the heart of this current crisis with such artistry that once again the others were moved to tears, as was he.

These talented people's music and voices are needed in our world. But how can they share their true talents when every moment in their lives must be focused on making  living in a culture doesn't support it's people?

The Divine Mother Energy is coming forth and giving us this time to open to our own inner knowing and connect with what our actual part is in the creation of this new culture that will work with so much less stress, and so much more love, compassion and caring.

I'm not saying that only artists are needed to co-create this new world, but I'm saying that we are all immensely creative, and we each have a touch of genius a spark of creation within that, given this time of sitting in the powerful unknown has the opportunity to spring up out of us like the new shoots of Spring that are shooting up throughout the northern hemisphere.

We are being given a reprieve from the soul crushing culture to open up to the powerful messages that each one of our own Spirits and the Greater Spirit of the humanity as a whole are speaking to us.

Once we settle into the strangeness of being with ourselves and our small family units, we will find the open space between our thoughts, where the voice of Spirit can come through. And who knows what will come through for you, for me, for each of us. But my feeling is that it will be far beyond anything we have dreamed of.

Of, course, as many of you already know, one of the major shifts will be in the flow of money in the world. And as I speak of in my book Money is Love: Reconnecting to the Sacred Origins of Money, the fear-based energy that drives money in our current culture will change to a love-based energy. How that will happen is part of the unknown. But it is definitely part of the what is in the process of happening. This I do know. The only thing that makes money seem scarce in our current culture is the false belief that there isn't enough to go around. Take some deep breaths, and feel into what a world where the money flows without the constraints of that lie will feel like. A world where loving one another and having compassion for one another is paramount. This is what we are seeing signs of everywhere in these past couple of weeks.

Imagine this new world and what it is that your spirit is guiding you to bring forth.

We each hold a sacred and even mystical piece of the mosaic that is the New Culture. During this time be aware of that. But don't try to make it happen. The trick is to let it happen as you spend time, relaxing, resting, praying, singing, dancing, meditating, and caring for yourself and others in our beloved family of humanity.

Compassion, Men, and The Goddess

 

So, it's from this point that I can talk to both men and women today about Men and the Goddess with utter love. 

My brother and I have a very difficult relationship, and we were estranged for a number of years. Then there was an opening, and he reached out and invited me to spend Christmas with him and his wife. I was newly divorced and went on my own with quite a bit of apprehension.  I arrived late at night, and he was already in bed, which put off our meeting until the next day. But I was not prepared for seeing him before breakfast, which I did.  I ran into him in the hall very early. He was just wearing his boxers and a T-shirt. And at that moment I didn't see the fifty-six year old man, I saw the sweet six year old boy.  And my heart opened up to the remembered little boy. I'm his older sister. And the anger and hurt just melted. I'll never forget that moment. Love just burst out of me for him. And it was mutual, which was also a miracle. Love creates miracles. He and I silll live on opposite sides of aisle politically, which is extremely difficult for both of us. But what I saw that early sleepy morning was just pure Divine Masculine, before programing. And I saw it in him from the Goddess within me.  

Kuan Yin, the Chinese goddess of Compassion, is the Goddess who has been with me the longest on my journey into my deep feminine. She came to me in 1995 when I began working on Money is Love: Reconnecting to the Sacred Origins of Money.I wasn't aware of Her at first, but little by little she taught me enough compassion that my heart and then my mind opened, and I recognized Her. She inserted Herself onto the cover Money is Love, and has been with me for 22 years now. She is just one aspect of the Divine Feminine Energy that is available to all of us, women and men.  And these aspects are not just available, but they live within each of us.  But if you are new to the Divine Feminine aspects and their Goddesses within you, I recommend you start by connecting with KuanYin, because we all need to learn compassion for ourselves and then from our own compassionate self become compassionate toward others.  

The only way out of the negativity all around us and that keeps us all separated and afraid, is for us to have enough compassion for ourselves that we can look across the aisle, the border, the fence, the race, the nationality, the other, whatever the other is in your life, and have compassion for those who are not your tribe. This cannot be learned through our masculine inner selves at this time in history.  Right now, it must be learned through the Feminine, the Goddess, who is within all of us.  

Women, let Her heal you so you can become the strength of the Goddess.  

Men, open your heart and let the Goddess within you begin to heal your heart and teach you through Her soothing compassion. 

She comes directly from our hearts.  This is Her domain. You may see her as Kuan Yin, or Mother Mary, or your own Inner Nurturing Mother within.  She needn't have a name of be just like everyone else's idea of who She is. In fact, it's important to Her that She not have labels or cults.  

The Goddess is personal  

In ancient times the Goddess statues wereabout six to eight inches tall, and were carried in the pockets of the women as they gathered the food and with the men as they went out on the hunt.  She was  personal to each person. No one put Her on a pedestal and looked up in awe at Her. They felt Her presence with them always, and She was easy to talk to. To help in the harvest and in the birth of the babies, and in the death of the loved ones and in the cooking of the food, and building of the fire...every thing.   

Whether you are a women or a man you  can begin to connect to Her in meditation, or listening to music that opens your heart. You can find her all around you when you are in nature. She lives and breathes and nurtures us from evrey tree.  She is in our animals. Lie down on the floor with your dog and let your heart open to Her.  She loves to come through dogs. Give Her your attention for just ten minutes a day, and after awhile you'll begin to feel Her compassion in your own heart.  Ask Her for help in learning to nurture yourself.  Allow yourself to be healed by the Goddess within you.  

And if you need some extra help, I'm available to guide you on your journey to connect.  It's easy. Just email me at this address.    Reach out. I'm here.  I know the way. 

With so much light, love, and compassion,

Barbara

Wake Up Your Power Woman Talks with Barbara Wilder #6

DREAMING IN PINK - Energy of Divine Love and a Meditation Video

Last night before bed I was contemplating what I wanted to share with you today.  And I got this very strong message from my Higher Self to write about a pale pink bedroom.  And because my Higher Self and I actually chat a lot, I asked, "Why on earth would I write about a pale pink bedroom?" And She said, "Think about it."  

With that I went off to bed. It was the 4th of July, and fireworks were still going off deep into the night. My dog, Gage, who's sixteen now, has developed a fear of loud noises and couldn't sleep, so I lay down next to him on the floor to help him feel safe. And while I was petting him I fell asleep with my head on his stuffed puppy. 

And wouldn't you know it, sleeping there on the floor with Gage I had a dream in a pale pink bedroom. I kid you not.  The dream started with me sitting in the middle of this pale pink bed.

I started out as a child but I kept shifting through different ages.  I looked around and everything was pale pink.  Everything.  

The curtains were pink.  There were pale pink candles on the pale pink dresser. There was a pale pink rocking chair. And a bookshelf with pale pink books.  A thick pale pink rug.  

I looked out the window.  It was a glorious sunshiny day.  The sun was streaming in the window and just beyond was a cherry tree in full pink bloom.

  

The room had a very gentle feeling about it.  Almost like being in a soft safe cocoon.  Safe, yes, very safe.  I snuggled down under the pink comforter, and it suddenly felt like I was on a magic carpet ride, but I wasn't going anywhere.  The room seemed to be moving, or more like flowing gently. Then I noticed that there were rose quartz crystals appearing on all the surfaces.  And they weren't just sitting there.  It was if they were growing up out of the furniture. 

  The sunlight, streaming through the window turned to pink.

And as I lay there staring into the Pale Pink Sunshine I heard a soft resonant voice say,

"This is the energy of the New Earth

This is pure Love.

Trust in the power of the Pale Pink Light, and you will not fail."

I woke up weeping.  I snuggled my head into Gage's sweet softness and felt pure joy.  

And, of course,  now I  knew why my Higher Self wanted me to write about the Pale Pink Bedroom.  

This morning as soon as I got up, I knew I had to make a Pale Pink Meditation video, so you can see and feel the richness of this Love - this vibration of the New Earth.  Enjoy.  And be Love.  Because this is who you are. 

Sending you much love, light, peace and joyful prosperity,

Barbara

Pale Pink Light Meditation - The Energy of Unconditional Divine Love

TRUSTING THE LIGHT IN THE MIDST OF DARKNESS

Several years ago I worked as a production finance executive for an

American film company in Italy. We were based in a studio just south of Rome. We shot mainly on a sound stage, but one Friday we had a location shoot in a forest not far from the studio. I went out to the set with per diem and paper work, and then joined the cast and crew for lunch. After lunch I hopped into my tiny Fiat Panda, and figuring that the road I came in on would eventually circle back to the main road, I headed out for a leisurely drive through this pristine forest.

I tooled along on the narrow one lane road enjoying the richness of the forest. There were no road signs and no traffic. I was alone in the forest primeval and loving it. After a while I came to a fork in the road. With no road signs I had to go with my gut. I took the left fork and continued on.

The forest was becoming thicker, and the road narrower. The sun barely peaked through overhead. I began to wonder why it was taking so long to get back to the main road, when I came to another fork. This didn't seem right. I looked at my watch, I'd been driving for over an hour. The drive to the set was only about fifteen minutes from the main road. I thought about trying to turn back, but

that seemed ridiculous, I'd surely be out of here soon.

I guessed at which fork to take and continued, but I was beginning to feel a little concerned. What if I didn't find my way out of here? No one would even realize I was missing to come to look for me. It was Friday. I was the lone American on the staff. It would be Monday morning before anyone would miss me. I didn't even know if I could remember how to get back to the set. It seemed that I was lost in a dark forest. (No cell phones yet.)

Then a light blinked on the dashboard. The low fuel light. Damn! Now, this was getting scary. I stopped the car to save gas and get my bearings. I was startled by some weird snorting noises then a huge jolt. No one on the road, alone in the dark forest, and now I was surrounded by a herd of wild boars, snorting and bumping up against my tiny car. My heart began to race. I had to get out of here, but there were three wild boars in front of the car. They were each about half the size of the car. I turned on the ignition and slowly inched toward them, but they didn't move. What was I going to do?

And then I remembered that I was a Lightworker. I had tools to use. I closed my eyes and did a quick little meditation with the white light, expanding the light around the car, and sending light ahead of me along the road. I opened my eyes and the wild boars in front of me were ambling away. YES!

I breathed a sigh of relief, but as I drove on the fear was still gripping my stomach, and I began to cry. As I cried, I felt my heart begin to open and connect with a power greater than myself. Please help me I whispered. Please. I drove on keeping my heart open and sending the light out ahead of me. Fifteen minutes later after a couple more forks in the road I found myself back on the main road. I was out of that dark forest and safe.

As I drove back to the studio I reflected on what I had just been through. And it occurred to me that as terrified as I'd been, I knew somewhere under all the fear that I was safe. That I would find my way out.

Wow! Such a memory. Still, decades later I can feel both the fear and the joy of the miracle of coming out safely. But also I remember that feeling deep down that I would be safe. Looking back now, I see it was a three part process. First, surrounded by the wild boars, I remembered to light my white Star and surround the car with Light and send Light onto the road ahead of me. Second I cried, letting go of the strain through my tears. And third, I called on help from a Higher Power.

Point One - Activate the Light and expand it.
Point Two - Let the emotions out - crying usually.
Point Three - Connect with The Higher Power through asking or prayer.

My story isn't unique. I'm sure you have had at least one time in your life when things were equal to or even scarier than my story. And somehow through a miracle you came out safely.

The Collective Mindset of Fear

For many years this three point process has worked well for me and my students, but recently I realized that there is an additional block to releasing the fear. And what I've found is that because of the current political situation and all its permutations there is a new level of fear. And it is the collective subconscious fear that is permeating the entire population.

This began during the 2016 campaign in the U.S. and then escalated after the election. Though what we are witnessing now in the U.S. is a necessary step in the evolution of the humanity, it is very difficult to navigate, and we need new tools and heightened awareness to stay steady.

We are literally in a dark forest in the collective subconscious, which is created and nurtured by group fear. Because of this each one of our own current personal fearful experiences is fueled, not just by our own fear, but by the collective fear that makes our own fears feel not only larger, but even often to the point of impossible to overcome.

In fact, many people are so frightened that they can't even imagine a good end to the worldwide expression of darkness and doom. And that is where this collective fear is anchored.

The news media keeps the fearful stories blasting at us 24/7. And on social media the people take all that fear and grow it bigger and bigger. The more you give fear a voice by talking about it, the larger it looms. And what we are seeing coming from this is an epidemic of stress disorders, anxiety, depression, Opioid addiction, and suicide.

But the truth is that even in this seeming darkness there 

is a Greater Power here

The Light is always greater than the dark. The Light dispels darkness. You just have to know how to connect with it, and then remember to use it to help you transform your fear and open to your own connection to the Higher Power.

You know deep in heart that you are connected to something much greater than this darkness. You are the Light and you come from the Light, and you have the power to transcend the mass-mind hysteria, and step into your bright power of goodness and love and abundance, and in so doing find your own peace and love and even prosperity. You just need a little Light to disconnect you from the lie and reconnect you to the truth. To the Love.

Light is the vehicle on which Love travels

To jump out of this cauldron of fear you simply need to create a Lighted field to live and play in.

This takes:
1 - A daily practice of meditation with the Light.
2 - Refraining from listening to the toxic news.
3 - Going on a diet of less social media.
4 - Giving up talking about how awful everything is. (This is a hard one for lots of people.) But the more you give a voice to fear and hate the louder it gets.

It takes some discipline and perseverance to do this, but oh, it's so worth it. When you choose to be in the Light no matter what the rest of the world is doing, you will find yourself living a miraculous life unhooked from the fear. And at the same time you will become a shining Light in the world that will begin to punch holes in the collective blanket of fear. You will become one of the enlightened leaders of The New Earth. We only have to heal ourselves to help heal the world consciousness.

Take your power back. Stand in your Light. Stop believing the false facts that Washington and Corporate America are spewing. Start believing in the part of you that will not let you die in the dark forest, but will bring you out to safety.

White Star Meditation

I've made a little Light meditation video that you can listen to daily to help you keep releasing from the collective fear and come back to your own Light. The meditation is just 10 minutes long. Enjoy.

And if you find you need a little help with this or any challenges you're facing, email me, so we can set up a time to chat. I work with the Light, intuitive exploration of your inner landscape, energetic transformation, along with just plain talking, in all my sessions. The first consultation is free and lasts for about 30 minutes. Barbara@BarbaraWilder.com

Sending you much love, light, peace and joyful prosperity,
