What if? In like a Lion; out like a lamb!

Earlier this month I had the inspiration to view my life through a different lens: What if everything that has happened in my life so far has happened for me, not to me? Everything!

I was able to explore this through an advanced PSYCH-K® balance, the alternative life balance, which interestingly enough, helps create a bio-energetic blueprint for my body to use to step into that new energy and perception going forward. It was pretty amazing, and has definitely helped me navigate the current storms in my life!

In pondering this and how this new perception will change the actions and reactions I have going forward, this month's question bubbled up: What if the absolute best way to assist and affect change in our current events on a global level really is to work on ourselves?

We have heard it resounded, "Be the change you wish to see in the world," and other versions of this age old adage. And I suppose each person's interpretation of this is shaped by the lens through which they view themselves and the world around them. For instance, if someone has low self worth, then how much impact can they perceive themselves as having on anything, let alone the world?

So I think the foundational understanding that is necessary is that of the Universal Law: ‘As above, so below; as within, so without.’ If you have been reading my blogs you will recognize that I have been journeying through the depths and implications of this law for a while now. It is so amazing the way Life is unfolding this for me!

For this we will start with a brief and basic look at he first half of the law, ‘As above, so below’; which is perhaps most famously reflected in the Bible's dictum that God created man in His image and likeness. God, as Creator, creates man, also a creator. While the implications of man being created in God's image and likeness run much farther and deeper than this, let's just stay there for now.

And ‘As within, so without’ is the creative expression or manifestation of the former…While we're here in school room Earth, operating under the illusion of dualism and separation—for educational purposes, of course—we have chosen to see the world through distorted lenses to support this illusion. You could say our goal while we are here is to keep upgrading our lenses to a higher & less distorted view, closer and closer to Truth—which is the highest degree of Love.

As you do the work within and shift your paradigm, or view, you are changing your lenses! And in turn, viewing your world through a higher degree of Love! This is how, through doing the inner work, you change the world from the inside out. ‘As within’ is how you create your lens; ‘so without’ is the manifestation or projection of this creation. What you see and experience in the world around you is merely a reflection of how you are seeing your inner being.

Are you looking at yourself through the lens of a higher degree of Love or a lower one? And, by the way, you do not see the outer world or any of your co-creators in it through a higher lens than you see yourself. That's the way this Earth plane is designed. So if you are horrified by what you see going on out there, the ONLY way to change that is to go within...this is how you advocate for change.

The word advocate, from it's root, means to call to the aid of another. In today’s society we see this typically being carried out by either voicing our opinions or speaking out on behalf of another or a cause. I would propose that a higher version of this communication on behalf of would be to focus on tuning your own vibration to a higher frequency around this subject, so that you are re-sounding a more pure tone for others to resonate to. My guess is that this is really the only way that significant and lasting changes are ever made.

Scientific studies have already proven that the majority of our communication is non-verbal, and I believe that the quickest way to raise your vibration is to have a higher vibration to resonate to or to come into alignment with. If you think about it these situations for which we tend to advocate generally devolved in this same way—resonating to a lower frequency.

I think that this is what being a light worker is all about—working on raising yourself to higher and higher frequencies (and of course you are not doing it by yourself; you have the full support of the Universe and All that Is). The higher you vibrate the, more light you send out as vibration to re-mind others that they too can vibrate at these higher frequencies, and elevating the world around you. And you need not worry that it will make a difference (In fact, worrying only lowers your vibration)—It will, it must, as IT IS LAW!

So, what of the Lion and the lamb? Well, while I was contemplating this ‘What if' this title came to me, which obviously seemed very timely in the month of March, but when I asked how it tied into this question, here is what came to me (I just so LOVE being guided through these!)

Often when we think of the Lion we think of him as defender & protector often with a scary or intimidating presence and a terrifying roar. We might think that is how he became King of the Jungle—through fear. A fear of penetrated boundaries protected by instilling fear. And that is what many of us are seeing imitated in our current events. A lot of fearful people roaring to protect and defend their boundaries acting upon their fears and/or trying to instill fear in others to defend what they believe to be theirs or to be right.

But this is not what the Lion represents at all; he represents an inner strength, an inner knowing that all is well, all is as it should be, and that his radiant light is the only protection that he needs, as darkness is not present in the light. His roar is a resounding echo of the Law and structure under which every thing in the jungle organizes into its proper place within.

If you switch your lens, and shift your paradigm, to see him in this Truth, you can use his light to elevate yourself and stand in this inner strength and knowing. You can be a lion in your jungle and correct this distortion; reorganizing the world around you.

And the Lamb...often referred to as the sacrificial Lamb…well, we tend to see him as an innocent victim being sacrificed/slaughtered, and when we are looking at him through this distorted lens the only way we can make sense of it is to chalk it up to atonement for our sins. While that may come with a sort of gratitude, it also holds a sadness & fear—fear that we may be the next innocent victim.

This too is a misconception of the symbol of the Lamb and what he represents. The Lamb is the peaceful calm center embodying service, not sacrifice. Like the Lion, the Lamb has the inner knowing that all is well and he dwells in a peace that resounds so resolutely that it serves as a peaceful calm that maintains it’s center in the midst of the storm. The service in this can be seen in the way a storm works.

In short, the calm center of a storm attracts the raging winds toward it. When the opposing winds meet each other in the center they balance each other and become one with the calm! I guess you could say when they become centered they reach at-one-ment! So in truth the Lamb is not swallowed by the raging wolves, but it is that the wolves become lambs.

We see often in Christian literature Jesus, as the Christ, being referred to as the Lion and the Lamb. To keep this post from being extraordinarily long, and to leave some of the fun for you (the joy is in the journey), I will leave you to ponder those comparisons through this new lens. ❤ Pretty interesting, huh?

Before I go, since Easter is next month, I have a challenge for you should you choose to accept... My mother, who was also an ADL Minister, shared with me several years ago that she had taken up the practice, around Easter time, of asking for…and then expecting to receive...a resurrecting thought. When she shared, I began doing this too.

I have been doing it for many years now and I always receive one—and it is always AMAZING! It happens within the season—sometimes on "the" weekend, but actually usually comes beforehand. In fact, when I was composing this paragraph in my head—in the shower, LOL— I received mine for this year. It will be my April ‘what if’ so stay tuned! And in the meantime I encourage you to try it for yourself this year and see what kind of AMAZING resurrection you can experience—’tis the season! And I would love to hear about yours as well.
