Hello, Everyone,
At this writing I am looking through a new lens at Energy. I wrote a full post this morning to share this with you and the program refused to publish it. I believe this is a message that at least for the time being I am to let go of this blog.
I'll send an email if and when I begin again. In the meantime I am breathing and so grateful.

The Solstice
Happy Solstice, Everyone!
Here in Minnesota, Solstice dawned just after 6 p.m., so I planned to be in meditation out on my balcony, then after establishing the energy the rain began in earnest so I moved inside.
Archangel Michael and whole host of other angels and guides were present, and this is what A. Michael said to all of us who serve the planet:
"Congratulations! You have our gratitude and appreciation. You have blown open the doors to this field of energy, previously unexplored by any human being. They will never again be closed. Play, sample as you will, enjoy, and celebrate one another."
He is referring to the success we have achieved in "trying on for size" the introduction of Third Earth energy since June of 2009.
During the meditation, a wolf sat on my left, noisily licking his chops and obviously guarding me. On my right, a raven sat on a perch; always a sign of change for me. I don't know everywhere I went, but half an hour later I was back.
Following my meditation, I got busy with other things, then exactly three hours after the dawn of the Solstice I looked out and an awesome rainbow hung in the sky. I sat out on the balcony and felt a part of the rainbow and knew my Solstice celebration was complete. Rainbows have signified the fulfillment of a promise since my first channeling event back in '83.
Our personal and public work is acknowledged. Now it is up to each of us to breathe deeply and accept the accolades, appreciate better what we achieve by doing our best and open ourselves to that exchange which enriches our planet - and ourselves when we allow it.

There Has to Be a Payoff
Hello again, Everyone!
Recent visits by Lao Tzu have promoted my discovery process exponentially, especially around human symptoms, also called drama. I am working this out for myself as I report to you who may also be engaged in becoming as authentic/transparent as possible.
Autoimmune disease came up in a session with a client recently, then again, grabbing my attention. I looked up the subject on the internet and found I have one and had another years ago. So, as I was talking out loud in the shower today about autoimmune diseases, Lao Tzu said, "There has to be a payoff, or you wouldn't do it." 'Do it,' meaning create it in the first place. This surely sent me off into breathing and exploring any and all human symptoms. A parade of symptoms marched through my brain: addictions, allergies, broken bones, cancers, viruses..... But I was aware also that symptoms could be emotional and mental; whatever human condition is absent of balance.
Any symptoms, he says, are created because there is some "payoff" or benefit, no matter how convoluted that may seem. We are a package of conundrums, aren't we? We have love/hate relationships with lots of things in our lives. We live in duality, or at least we have done. So what is the benefit when I am so determined, consciously, to resolve my symptoms?
There are some obvious answers:
Attention: so many of us are starved from many lifetimes for the comfort, the loving attention, of nurturing response. I'm reminded of the "bandaid phase" of each of my grandchildren. And how many times I, as a child, fell going up the rough concrete steps of our home, skinning my knees and getting a reputation for always having scabby knees. Not just clumsiness. Attention.
Identifying with others: in our drama/pain we interact with others who either share our pain or sympathetically react and reassure us that we have value to others.
Diverting attention: in focusing on our symptoms, we divert attention away from even more uncomfortable aspects of selves we feel unprepared to address. This could also be called:
Karmic Distraction: We have so many layers to explore while we are here, and we can only do so much at any given time, so our symptoms/drama can give us a focus with which we deal on the way to even more significant discoveries on the journey.
Expanding Consciousness: Our altruistic purpose here is to "expand the Mind of God." Our disease, our pain, our drama lead us on paths of discovery through which we learn "human" most effectively because we are stretched farther than we often believe is possible. How many people have you heard report that their lives were changed by their cancer? The effect of all human experience reverberates throughout Consciousness.
As I was talking with my sister about this today, the inevitable question came up: What happens when/if we release all symptoms? What is the outcome of surrendering all imbalance?
Why, I suppose we are out of here. We ascend, disappear, become truly transparent. Symptoms seem to be the way we hold on to our human form. Our beliefs, hidden or obvious, manifest as symptoms, some comfortable, some obviously not. And once they are transformed, once we achieve perfect balance, we become the Master. The Master may choose to continue the journey to offer the example, as have others before us. The Master may simply have no further need to continue this journey, serving this 3-D realm from a dimension free of drama.
Phyl-EL
P.S. After living with this post for a day, I feel like I left out a couple of things.
First, considering the question of our beliefs producing symptoms, it is not my intention to say we are "to blame" for creating our drama. Experience simply is. It informs us. Holding ourselves hostage for not having created differently is punishment never intended in this perfection we call human. Yes, we are in a perfect state of being, all inclusive, no exceptions.
Second, I consider myself an explorer, a detective. I'm always in a state of considering what it all means and where I can "solve" a mystery (as if I could!). But the challenge intrigues me, as I know it does many of you. On this topic of symptoms, then, I am excited by the mystery of it and the possibilities for resolution.
Lao Tzu knows that my ideal is to live in the principles of the Tau. And it seems to me that I am even closer to living that ideal as I open more consciously to this mystery.

Reflections on God
Good Morning!
Last Sunday in Duluth for the Circle Service, which I love, I suggested that our conversation focus on: how do I remember myself as God; how have I forgotten that I am God; what does being God feel like; what does it mean to be God; how do I know God, etc.
As I drove home after the service I realized that every person who spoke, and many did, reflected on how they have forgotten their God qualities. They focused on how ego had controlled their behaviors. Now I realize that, while I thought at least some of them would be excited to relate their creative adventures, I had set them up for the negative.
I opened by saying that we come in this human suit, wrapped in ego and seeking to recall the original God-suit through our human adventures. Their thoughts went to the egocentric behaviors that challenge them; that challenge all of us. Nothing wrong with reflecting on how we are challenged and changing, but as effective as the service was, our intuitive/psychic/metaphysical adventures were not explored as I expected they might.
I love that some who spoke showed the personal courage to reveal a very vulnerable aspect of themselves. Exposure to a group with whom we interact at so many levels is a powerful act of faith; an act that changes both the speaker and the observers.
The congregation designed the service, and that's what a Circle Service is all about. Just because I thought they would jump at the chance to relate their multi-dimensional adventures, once I turned it over and folks stepped forward to hold the talking stick, they shaped the service to meet their own needs. And so it is.
Now, here on the other side of the Venus transit, the tight corkscrew energetic I saw on Monday has relaxed. All is swirling, so we may not yet feel the focus we want, but the still-turning kaleidoscope will slow soon, bringing us into the manifestation of all this change.
Breathing - a lot - helps, of course; breathing to release the need to know along with the anxiety of the not knowing. In the not-yet-knowing, we are reflecting on unfinished business and releasing reactions to it. We are building energy toward more acceptance of self, standing on stable God-platforms previously unknown to us. We are trusting "who we are, where we are, when we are," more certainly than ever before.

First Day
Greetings on this day of Venus transit!
On such a day of change, of what looks to me like a corkscrew (kundelini) energy, I feel inspired to print a piece written three years ago. As we approached the summer solstice of 2009, A. Michael said we were entering a three-year period during which we would "try on for size" the energy of the Third (New) Earth that dawned with that solstice.
We approach now the conclusion of that leap of faith period in which we have explored ourselves in formlessness; a heady time and a frightening time for many. Wisdom guided me to write this:
Be still and know that you are divine;
That change without reflects change within
And we are equal to it.
Know this time is formless,
Know that we are re-forming what is human.
Imagine that all before has been as the child
Preparing for kindergarten.
Well-meaning adults have encouraged you,
With visions of the
playground, the pretend corner, lunch with friends,
nap time, learning to read and count.
And so the new life takes shape in your mind.
First Day comes. You are excited.
Your Teacher opens the door.
And there is no floor.
No toys? No shapes, no colors, no numbers or letters
To guide you on First Day.
And yet,
With courage dredged from some mystical space
You step inside and BEGIN.
As we enjoy this awesome day of transit, in the lingering energy of yesterday's full moon, and as we approach the Jupiter event and solstice, I consider how prepared we are; how we have practiced this new energy and what courage it takes for us each to begin and to persist and to Become.
Breath is the key to relieving the inevitable tension that comes with such awesome exploration and initiation. So I breathe with all of you and offer gratitude for "that which we cannot yet see."
It is real. That dream. That New Earth. Breathe an try it on for size. It is more than we can imagine.

Play it again, Sam
Greetings!
Just when you think your plan is in place, sailing along and being grateful, a message flies in that grabs your attention and sends you on to a new discovery - or three.
I've said this many times in other words, but Joyce Meyer said it best last week on her television broadcast when she said, "Don't worship your plan."
I loved it, shared it with others, then found myself smack in the middle of my own plan, not once but three times, wondering why I was disappointed, conflicted, sad or angry when things did not work out as I expected these past few days. "Don't worship your plan." Ooooh that echo again and again.
I've created this ideal life outline. Not a plan so structured that it limits me, but a plan nonetheless. I think I am on the right track to visualize what I choose to create, but the unsettling nature of these incidents reminds me once again that the only way to live well and with peace is to breathe and move from one thing to the next, following wise counsel to "pay attention to where my attention is."
Period.
Now, when we share our lives with others we are programmed to make plans. So, as we "planned" to go to the 99th birthday party of a cousin today, I arranged with my mother, aunt and cousin to pick them up and drive into Wisconsin. As I drove over I had flashes of my uncle picking them up. Odd, I thought, and dismissed it. After waiting a while, finally speaking with my aunt on her cell phone, I....well, I won't go into all the bizarre details. Suffice to say that my uncle did pick them up about a half hour before I got there.
I proceeded to pick up Anita and off we went, the two of us, to Osceola (phone in hand since my aunt was to be my navigator).
It was a great party. My temporary headache disappeared with the first laughter, shared with the man of the hour. I brought everyone home.
I could say that planning with folks of advanced age is the wrinkle in a plan, but my other "plans" that dissolved involved folks my age or much younger. So there you go.
To stay in the moment, breathing, is the key, of course. Plans come and they go. If I am at peace with myself, no shift in activity is of any consequence. I wonder if I will live long enough to disappear all the snags life presents me; to delve into and dis-create all the karmic puzzles in my Plan. Best not to plan it.

Gritty Adjustments
Good Thursday Morning!
With the rain falling and an impression that it is washing away all that is of no importance, I take a deep breath, wash away the cloud of yesterday and focus my attention on all the love that outshines any shadow.
An old wise counsel comes to me these days: "Pay attention to where your attention is." Not an easy piece of advice to follow when so much seems to crowd into our space, but so important.
Imagine: You're walking down a busy street, having to stop again and again to adjust your poorly-fitted underwear. Ha!, but the discomfort of these times is at least that irritating. We were not raised, trained and conditioned to expect this much change. We stop again and again, crying out, "Not again! More change? How much more can we be expected to do?!"
The new or changing - job, house, baby, relationship, health, school, move to a new state; none of this is the point of this pivotal time on the planet and in our personal growth. All of it is the mechanism by which we are tasked to learn ourselves.
We all have a right, and a need, to honor our vulnerabilities. We are human, we do have emotions, and of course all the structures and conditions of our lives have significance.
And let's also reconsider that all of those changes are created by us, however unconsciously, to set the stage for the primary goal: to learn to trust ourselves, exactly as we are, where we are, when we are. In this moment, with every breath we take, to know we, not any external force or condition, have created exactly what we face and we don't want to miss the significance.
This timeline on planet Earth is designed to provide the opportunities, to force ourselves, to learn these critical skills. All the physical changes on the planet force us to achieve this self-sufficiency. We need these skills in place. Here and now, or as soon as humanly possible :)
We have so much help. Let's take a deep breath and verbalize our willingness to accept that help. We're born with a team of guides and angels whose only purpose is to support us at times like these.
We're born of a Creator whose constancy is absolute.
Breath opens the door, breath sustains the channel between us and the help that is always available. We are not alone. Whatever changes we face, our support System is in place. We were never intended to walk this astonishing time of change alone. Trusting ourselves also means employing the assistance that never fails.
Breathing with you,
Phyl-El

New Moon Reflections
Hello again!
With joy in this amazing, sunny day, I'm in a New Moon reflection and hopeful that while in this strongly pulling energy I can relate what's in my heart.
These days I am blessed to be connected, through a dear friend, with a man whose family has created a Caring Bridge site to support him during a journey through cancer. As I posted to the site this morning, I could feel the network created by a huge number of people supporting Mike; that it exceeds the traditional limitations of knowing one another to support such a worthy man.
The network looked like a huge hammock, lifting him up and cradling him in love.
Many years ago, System said that one of Earth's most essential objectives is to erase "borders, boundaries and barriers." That we would do this through many challenges, one of the first of which was the Aids epidemic. We were, at that time, beginning to understand that the disease was not limited to one segment of humanity. No, it was and is a disease that knows no boundaries. System also said that the Gay community had volunteered - at a soul level, of course- to carry this stigma until such time as we realized the truth of it.
Since then we have seen people reaching out to one another, increasingly absent of the bigotry. We have also seen our capacity to reach out to support people all over the planet needing help following chaotic events.
We are, by such acts of love, disappearing "other-ness." There are no others. There is only us, you and me unified in this human now.

Live Amazed!
Good Wednesday Morning!
Borrowing from Joyce Meyer this morning, I am reminded to "Live Amazed!" There are so many things in this world that I do not have to do today, conditions that are not mine today, assignments I do not feel compelled to complete. Good. Wow. Thank you, God. And so I am amazed at my life. I am grateful for the fullness of it. I am breathing into the amazing facets of my life that sometimes I can accept as normal, forgetting what a miracle God and I have created. My life. What you and God have created. Your life.
And borrowing from a client session yesterday, I heard myself saying, "We cannot project anything without disappointing ourselves." Not because what we project will not be true. On the contrary, it's because what we project we may in fact create, and it may be short of the dream, the Mystery, the Miracle.
Personally, I do not want to create anything less than the most awesome thing possible. My goodness, what motivation! My practice, as I said in my last post, is to breathe into this moment as the sacred All That Is, the I Am, in which every amazing thing in my Creation already exists. Breathing into my immediate Creation, I am informed by it. And so one moment, one breath, flows into the next.
Yesterday I also felt the gravity of living in harmony with our inner child. Now, sometimes the child within wants to have a tantrum. Old pain comes up and will not be ignored. The child wants to say, holler, spit, stomp feet about what she/he was never allowed to express. One of my favorite places to scream is in my car. No one hears me, and if anyone notices as I am sailing down the freeway, so what?
Sometimes, often in fact, the child wants to express joy, pure unadulterated freedom from any restrictions or self-consciousness.
When I wrote last week about going to the flower show downtown, I didn't tell you that when I get on the city bus to go downtown, the 12-year-old in me is excited and a little nervous. I am on my own. I have no one to answer to, no schedule, no rules. When my mother first let me go downtown to the dentist alone and I first got on that bus all by myself, I was very nervous. But also thrilled.
Now, at 70, I can still feel it. Dayton's was a delicious place to dream; the place where I bought my first lipstick at 15. Fanny Farmer Candy stores that no longer exist were the place where I would carefully choose an oh-so-delicious piece of candy to eat while waiting for the bus to go home. (Insert irony here: I'd have just been to the dentist) Today I choose to savor a steaming cup of Americano purchased at a coffee shop on Macy's lower level.
Indulging myself, my inner child, is important. We live crowded lives. So many assignments wait for our attention. Breathing, I am better in touch with the child in me. She waits for my attention and is not shy about telling me what she wants - when I will listen.
Sometimes symptoms in my life tell me that she must be heard. I must cry hard, creating a space for big emotions. Or I must give myself permission to break out of patterns by playing. Sometimes that is best done in the company of my grandchildren, but many times it is best done alone - on a swing in the park, on the city bus, alone at a theater, in my car going nowhere looking up at the moon.
I have love and breath. That's it. In this time, reflecting on life as I know it, those two contain all things.
Amazed,
I am Phyl-El
Borrowing from Joyce Meyer this morning, I am reminded to "Live Amazed!" There are so many things in this world that I do not have to do today, conditions that are not mine today, assignments I do not feel compelled to complete. Good. Wow. Thank you, God. And so I am amazed at my life. I am grateful for the fullness of it. I am breathing into the amazing facets of my life that sometimes I can accept as normal, forgetting what a miracle God and I have created. My life. What you and God have created. Your life.
And borrowing from a client session yesterday, I heard myself saying, "We cannot project anything without disappointing ourselves." Not because what we project will not be true. On the contrary, it's because what we project we may in fact create, and it may be short of the dream, the Mystery, the Miracle.

Perspiration & Payoffs
Hello, again!
We've heard it all: Let go and let God, Breathe, stay in the moment, Allow, Surrender. We hear them, these loving and persistent messages and we follow the direction as best we can, knowing it works in our favor when we do, when we can.
Tomorrow will be fine when it comes. It doesn't need me to monitor it. It's almost 3 p.m. Four p.m. doesn't need me there, to make sure everything then will be OK. I breathe.
Yesterday, getting up, I heard, "threat." And after a detailed dream last night, I realize that I have brought to this life an expectation, an underlying dread as real as my sense of smell, that colors the quality of my life.
I'm a upbeat person. I live with an intention that is not forced - most of the time - to live with a positive, life-is-good attitude. I am not entirely surprised to realize that the conditioning of this life and the effect of countless other lifetimes cause me to unconsciously expect a threat to overcome my conscious intention to live with a smile on my face and an expectation of goodness in the world. Because, although I am a positive person, I have become aware that the symptoms of 'threat' are crowding to the forefront to demand my attention.
When I am not threatened, when my life if flowing along, I realize that I create situations that will challenge me. I push the envelope, however unconsciously, to give me something to prove against, something to exercise my ingenuity, some creative 'opportunity' to succeed in spite of, or because of, the challenge.
Living with the influence of 'threat,' I am poised to address it, even when I am not aware I am poised. But now that my life is built on breath, I have become aware how much energy it takes to be poised for the onslaught. Oh, my.
Today is a day to breathe, yes, and to remain with intention in this moment exactly as it is. In this breath I have no attention on anything past or future. In this breath I am at peace and sharply aware that in this pattern anything deserving my attention is more richly addressed when I am at rest.
Breathing with you,
I am Phyl-El

Transparency
Hello on this Perfect Thursday,
This being authentic, really transparent, can feel like a lot of work. All that we are is a collective, the results of a journey, along which we gather so many patterns and beliefs, so much behavior that coming to terms with it can feel all consuming. It's like taking a walk and having to bend down and overturn every stone on the path. What's under there? Is this real, can I live with that, who is it that I choose deliberately to be?
The results are huge, of course. Walking more lightly on this good Earth is a payoff I celebrate. At the same time, some of those rocks have been holding tightly to the Earth. Prying them loose makes me sweat. It's a good sweat, like the one I felt on my body this morning after 45 minutes of aerobic activity. I know I'm making progress when I perspire and I can feel the toxins releasing from my muscles. Good work.
The treadmill I use in the Fitness Center is programmed, when I come to the end of my walk, to read, "Great Workout!" No such digital message appears on my mental screen when I've achieved some release of one of those occluding rocks. I've realized how important it is for me to hug myself, appreciate what I've accomplished, because as good as the result is, my appearance does not change with internal work as it does with physical exercise.
Oh, just a minute there, I realize that I've revealed to myself a truth about that: the changes do show as I smile more, as my energy is more open to others, as I am more available to loved ones and to strangers. When we hide less, we obviously walk more in Light.
And that will always make a difference. I join with all of you who walk this path and say, "Great Workout!"

April 11
Hello, Everyone,
Happy April 11! Yes, I know it means nothing to most folks, but for me it is a quarter point in my personal calendar and an anniversary for several significant events over the years. So, I am reflective today and prompted to post here what came in yesterday. First I want to thank an old friend for interpreting my name. She says, according to the Greek, Phyl means 'love of,' which I did not know and El is a name for God, which I did know. So thank you, Barbara for sharing the meaning of my 'new' name.
Following a meditation nap yesterday, I asked what was most important and heard, "The Golden Spiral." Looking it up on Wikipedia, well it's best if you're interested that you read it there for yourself. When I asked its significance for me/us, I was told it holds a mathematically perfect memory of all informational files ever recorded. And, that these files, holding all of Earth's memory, are key to holding it in place and on track for its cosmic purpose.
Even as I write this, getting clarification as I type, I realize again that our language is a limitation when trying to describe any energetic. I do know that with intention to serve the planet, we are engaged with The Golden Spiral. All of its algorithmic construct is within us, of course, and we are at the center of its movement, better served by it when we know of it, as we now do, and as we affirm our intention toward it.
Taking a deep breath, affirming my intention toward being as authentic as humanly possible, I feel myself more anchored and more open to Wisdom. My feeling is this will lead to more and I will be happy to report as it comes in.
With gratitude,
I am Phyl-El

The Light
Happy Easter Weekend, Passover and Full Moon!
The sky this morning is a panoramic reflection of all our Easter colors; the purples, yellows, pinks, and that color that defies the dictionary. I marvel that I was drenched in these same colors this week as I, twice, visited Macy's and Bachman's annual flower show in downtown Minneapolis.
As I stopped in my tracks at the inexplicably iridescent orchid at the end of the path, I said, "This must be the color of God." A clerk I spoke with later said he asked one of the show designers if it had been colorized because it looked like Thomas Kinkade had painted it with light inside. Inside the purples, but with indigo, oh and magenta, all at once, radiating light. Everyone stopped, mesmerized by these blooms.
When we hear about the drama in this old world of ours, when we wonder at humanity's decline, we are better served by a deep breath that absorbs the vibration of such colors, whether in the flowers or in the sky. And what better time than this week of sacred celebrations to celebrate God's infinite capacity to create whatever it is that we need.
The color of our world is the color of us. We are iridescent, we are vibrant, we radiate the light of God from within us. The words we speak, the breath we share, the light of the smile in our eyes all return the gifts we receive.
Namaste

Today's Intention
Hello, again!
Today is a day to clarify my intention, at this time, in this new energy, with this identity emerging and this is it:
To cease counting, anything, now to live in the Divine Equation.

Miracles
Greetings, Everyone!
Wisdom says today, "Make room for miracles!"
Now, today is not the day I would say, personally, that looks as if it were designed for miracles, but when my System speaks I listen. And isn't it true that when we are least expecting them, miracles come crowding in to affirm once again that inspired events do not follow logic.
Circumstances would say that this is one of my toughest days. But when I went to my sliding glass door to thank God for this day, this Wednesday, this day of challenges, the eastern sky was so awesome I caught my breath in wonder. You know those skies. Breathing deeply I shuddered in the new vibration that washed through me. First miracle.
We're blessed here in Minneapolis that Macy's has followed in the Dayton's tradition and produces the flower show on 8th floor that will fill me with awe again this afternoon. I love taking the bus downtown and walking through the store that has such rich memories for me, riding the elevator to the fragrances of spring. Another miracle.
I am making room for miracles. I do not know all that my perfect Plan contains today, but the first thing we all need to do is to expect. Expect miracles. Make way for them before they appear.
Breathing into the Miracle,
I am Phyl-El

Stripping Away
Good Tuesday Morning!
"Thank you, God, for this perfect Tuesday, for the support and nourishment of this good Earth, for the inspiration and counsel of the Heavens. Thank you, everyone who loves me. I love you back."
This is my ritual, breathing deeply and opening to any day, however it feels, whatever else is true. Sometimes what is true is that we are faced with stripping away everything that is not true, not authentic. Today is such a day.
A friend says her premise is: no complaining, no explaining. It seems to me that as long as we are complaining or explaining we are hiding behind the facade we choose to shield us from discovery.
Many of us have something we do not feel comfortable revealing. Perhaps private thoughts, behaviors, past actions or desires remain hidden. Many of us feel the need, when we realize we are hiding something, to confess, to profess to a professional or to a self-help group, a friend or family member.
None of these is wrong. We all choose how we reveal and what help we need to stand in authentic light.
As I explore my feelings here, I feel so blessed to have an outlet to sort out and process. Stripping away the old today is not about explaining or complaining. I realize how much time I spend with friends talking about my life. All that I share with them helps me come to answers, and I am just as grateful for what they share. Our Wisdom comes in, sheds light, on our challenges when we say out loud what we're trying to understand. Where would I be without them or without my clients whose sessions connect us with such awesome Wisdom? No, I am not abandoning trusted sharing. Sometimes, though, my sharing includes complaining and explaining, and my intention is to change that.
I am not alone with my private thoughts. I have God. With God I have nothing to hide, no thing that is unknown. I have no need to disguise myself, and what I know today is that the machinations, the mental and emotional gymnastics, take energy that I can better channel elsewhere. With breath, I can be clear without explaining or complaining in the old, dependent mode.
Stripping away is, finally, a relief. When facing a major shift one day in 1985, I was climbing the stairs (insert irony here) talking out loud about my fears, asking for help. I heard myself saying, "It's you and me, God," and felt to the depths of me the partnership I then knew was absolute. In that unity, anything is possible.
Until next time,
I am Phyl-El

A New Name
Greetings on this last day of March!
Everything, literally everything in March, moved, somehow, somewhere. I am taking a deep breath to absorb it all and move with as much grace as I can muster. I find myself turning in so many directions to insure I am supportive, prayerfully present, for those who might need attention. And always aware, always standing in consideration of personal needs as well, breathing.
One change has been gathering momentum over some time as I reflect on it now, but when one of my most respected guides comes to tell me, "Now is the time," well, I listen. Archangel Michael came on Thursday as I was driving - a favorite meditation time for me. He said, "It is time to change your name."
I've known for some time that my identity is linked to the Elohim, and that the name, PhylEl, is my "God name." Now my God name has become Phyl-El, and I know it has to do with my soul's origins with one of the original 12 tribes, the tribe of Israel. I've long had a fascination with the Hebrew faith, and although I've not in this life had an inclination to become a practicing Jew, still the connections arise and I hold them dear. They help to explain who I am.
We all have these connections with our collective, soul history. We are all influenced by that cellular memory. Our lovely friend, Barbara, when she visited Africa, found herself meeting a very old man whose eyes, she said, were so wise and so familiar. He said he knew her, and as she wept with wonder and joy, she knew she'd found a link to her soul's origins.
So many stories have been shared with me over the years, some very intimate that would not be appropriate to share here, but the evidence is irrefutable: we in these bodies are not original to this Earth life. And these collective Earth lives are not even the original lives our souls have known.
So here I am, Phyl-El and yet still Phyllis. I do not expect my friends and family to begin calling me by this name. I will use it related to the counseling work that I do. I may be inspired one day to go to court and make it legal. I will not be surprised if I do that. For now it is enough that I accept the whole of who I am - at least at this point in life - and say it aloud and write it down here as a testament to the mantle I accept as mine.
A mantle is a physical image and symbol of what I believe to be a covenant we accept for this life; the revelation of our soul purpose, which is largely unknown to many of us, especially in the early years. As it is revealed, we understand what has driven us, what has inspired us more than any other thing. It's usually multi-faceted, and when we come upon a facet of it, as I did when I "opened to channel," we know it without any question.
The death of a dear friend this month is one of my changes. I'm still adjusting to thinking of this life without such a soul-connected friend. Breathing takes me from grief to acceptance. I've been breathing a lot. I realize that when we lose someone or something we create a void into which something new can birth. Perhaps losing my friend has made way for me to accept my name.
Names are inherently, vibrationally who we are. Changing my name seems cavalier, maybe even a quirky whim. I realize that in the past I could not have spoken so clearly about changing what is essential to my identity. Identities change. We change. Things outside of ourselves seem to change without our permission. Our personal will seems secondary to the external changes we encounter.
This is not true. We have a Plan. Our Plan is known as we are born, before we are born. All things are known, inclusive. Inherent in that Plan is our name and the history of all our names. Inherent is the design by which we will express our free will to shape the life through which we Become. As we become we may recall the name that fits the mantle through which we fulfill our life Plan. The mathematics of that name are aligned with the mathematics that hold this planet in its orbit and the grid(s) that maintain Earth's integrity.
Our names are chosen by our parents intuitively. Finding a new name does not contradict that intuition. "Phyllis" has served me for all my 70 years, reflecting the pattern I needed. Phyl-El serves me now.
Until next time,
I am Phyl-El

"A" is for Spring
Greetings on this Equinox Eve!
Moving into Spring, I see a Cosmic-sized wall switch, causing me to ask, to what are we switching, or what is being activated?
It's not so much a dramatic turn or sudden shift, of course. Our evolution is not designed that way. Thankfully, we move from one station to another with more ease, taking our "time" to shift so that we are not too startled, not so disturbed by change that we lose our place in the design - most of the time.
Of course, the other ironical aspect of us is that once we sense change, we want to hurry it along. We so want to press forward, and we look for signs, indicators to give us an advantage in achieving the change we think we want most. Yes, we are simply so human.
As I asked for counsel about the "switch," I knew that, for me, this stage is fitting into the skin of desired, most inspired self, as if the skin is hanging loosely around me and I am learning to fill it up.
"Adaptation," is the word I hear related to this stage. For me that means breathing deeply and feeling the breath fill that human suit with my expanded aspect; filling each cell, each molecule with expanded Consciousness. As we are filled with more of that Cosmic Wisdom, as we are changed by that Wisdom, any movement toward our human goals grows closer.
That Wisdom holds All. Everything is known. My Plan is complete and waiting for my permission to come into being, to inform me. Nothing is out of place, misunderstood or flawed.
"Acceptance," is the other word key to this movement. To breathe and Become with ease means accepting myself exactly as I am. Not, as I am, except for... anything. Exactly as I am. Today, now, in this perfect moment.
Breath is essential to so many human operations. It is key to accepting self, backing off the mental/emotional carousel, surrendering any ideas of what that new self ought to look like, what we imagine life has to be to make us feel secure.
So, in this time of Spring celebrations, I join with all of you in acceptance to adapt exactly as Wisdom guides me, in this lovely, perfect Cosmic moment - in this breath.
Riding the tide of breath with all of you,
I am Phyllis, Becoming

From One Breath to the Next
Hello Again!
At any given time, from this moment to the next, we are unable to account for the amount of energy it is taking for us just to maintain.
I had a reasonable amount of uninterrupted sleep last night, got up, did my laundry, posted to this blog and at 11:00 knew I needed one of my meditation naps. I slept hard until 1:00. My usual meditation nap is 20-30 minutes. My dreams were insightful and thought-provoking. I was grateful to wake in time for my 1:30 appointment and have been reflecting on my day. Both that lovely person and my client at 4:00 are particularly courageous people; willing to ask the questions, staying with the program while the responses challenge them.
Are we now sleeping in advance of the work we have yet to tackle? I think so. In fact, the response is this:
"You will find, in the perfect rhythm of your new lives, that resting periods will come as you need them, before you are challenged by your exertions, as well as following the experience. In other words, time means less and less as you move forward in this new cycle of your Earth lives. Allowing yourselves to follow your inner compass, you will rest and rise, eat and fast, work and relax all according to that inner Wisdom. It works for you. You do not work at achieving it. And so it is."
And that is enough for my System for this fine day when here in Minneapolis on March 16, 2012, the temps reached 80 degrees.
Oh, my. No complaints here.
Until next time,
I am Phyllis, Becoming
Life Renewed
Good Morning!
On this fine, warm March morning in Minnesota - 50 degrees at 6 a.m.! - I'm reviewing the past few weeks with wonder and gratitude.
My daughter's "closest family member," her dog, 'Tana, passed quite suddenly, leaving Paige devastated. While I wondered at her sanity a couple of years ago when she adopted two feral cats, I am now so grateful that she can enjoy their sweet and mischievous friendship. While they can't fill the void 'Tana leaves, they are a comfort.
Montana was a squirrely and awesome dog. We didn't see one another often, but she talked to me on the phone, sang me happy birthday and happily accepted the surrogate ear scrubs I sent her way. I love her, too, and miss her, but she's not far away. She has visited twice to let me know that we remain connected. She is with Paige, reminding her that love is infinite, that life continues, not only in some nebulous far-off dimension, but close and real and breathing in a renewed state of being.
The same message has come often from folks who find their departed dog sleeping next to them, breathing, the pressure of their body reminding their humans that love is forever, the life force vibrant and exceeding our perceived separation.
Our animals are perfect partners in this amazing mosaic. Whether a dog or cat or some other furry or feathered friend, they take the journey with us, mirroring our own identity and teaching us love.
Leaving, they also leave the door open for us to discover ourselves in some new dimension of our personal creation. So often, following the death of a dear friend, we realize that options beckon, that a new self emerges from the emptiness.
The cycles of life inform us. The emergent new form may inspire us when we can breathe and allow its wisdom to fill the void. We are entitled to the time we need to grieve - and to the gifts we inherit. It was always the Plan.
Breathing into the new,

AWAKE!
Greetings!
Are you watching Awake on NBC Thursday nights? Oh, my, what a quality television experience and a mind-bender, without being a mental quagmire.
It's got me pondering our realities, so yesterday I asked whether things like the stars/zodiac override our free will, or to what degree they are accurate.
The response was, "Insofar as you live within the karmic pattern, they do, and it is always your choice." I felt myself traveling out into Creation to feel myself outside the karmic pattern. I love it out there.
We know from earlier guidance that karma has expired. Born into it, we are still living through the pattern, but it is no longer our evolutionary theme. Each future generation will live progressively less under the influence of karma. Remember, karma is not bad, it is simply cumulative cause and effect. Examples are horoscopes, tarot and psychic predictions, which are all part of the karmic pattern.
I hold in great esteem those who provide us information that guides us. As long as we use the guidance as a part of our free will, not a replacement for it, it can enhance our lives. Increasingly trusting ourselves in any moment is our goal.
All of this means we need to breathe into our choices, sorting out what our Wisdom indicates and whether we are surrendering our free will for a temporary feel-good fix; a bandaid that will inevitably fall off, leaving us wondering why we've returned to the starting line.
I realize that none of this may be news to you. At the same time, we are evolving and sensing our lives differently, so it was time for me to review, and maybe for you, too.
Breathing into new realities,
I am Phyllis/Phyl-El

Goals, not Structures
Hello, again!
Still locating myself here at home after a wonderful Sunday with my church family in Duluth. Yesterday I heard, "Goals, not structures," and it set me to feeling into, again, the way I have been learning to live my life recently.
I've written here about this before, so I won't go into all the layers, but it must be worth more attention or I would not have heard it so clearly.
I'll use my weight loss history as an example because it comes up so clearly as an experience that fits this: Since I was 11 and feeling too "big," I've obsessed about my weight. And whenever I've set about losing weight, I've set a mental goal and then programmed myself, structured my patterns, to insure I lost the pounds as quickly as possible. It made sense then. But not now.
I learned more about healthy weight loss during the time I lectured Weight Watchers classes for 7 years, but still I structured my eating habits and exercise to fit a schedule that would bring me as quickly to my goal as I could manage. Every weight loss program I have ever known is based on these structures. They do not teach us to trust ourselves first.
Since beginning my new program of exercise and weight loss in October, I realize that the patterns of living my life intuitively can work for this as well. Letting go of the old structures, though, is certainly a learning curve I've never traveled before.
My goal this time around, at age 70, is to become a strong old woman. I do not feel old now, but given my genes I probably can expect a long life if I become strong and healthier.
Setting this goal, I find myself growing stronger intuitively as well. I honor what my Internal Physician tells me to do about my heart, not taking medications but instead trusting my Wisdom to inform me what serves me better. Hand in hand with that, I find my I.P. telling me what and when to eat as well; when to work out and for how long. Listening, I am surrendering to that wise inner voice that knows exactly what rhythm works best for me.
It means, sometimes, breaking old rules and breathing to allow myself that freedom. Is my System asking for a nap? No rules. Hungry? Breathing, an action is a response, not a reaction. Most often I observe myself, curious about this process, and celebrating that whatever the rhythm, I will meet my goals. Breathing, I will achieve strength and fitness.
These principles can work, whatever goals you set for yourself and bring you the ease I am beginning to really enjoy these days. Our Wisdom will always carry us along as we allow it. We have not been taught to trust that Wisdom, but it is infallible. Yes, it is. It is up to each of us to practice the surrender to enjoy it.
Breathing & Knowing with you,
I am Phyllis/PhylEl

Hi, There! God Here.
Good Day!
What lovely responses some of you have offered after my last post here. I am so excited that as we share ideas about anything, we expand Consciousness and fulfill our purpose for being here.
Speaking of God....
In the first few months after the channeling started in 1983 so much unfolded that it's a wonder we didn't explode or lose our minds. Goes to show just how much we can manage when inspired. When we're so hungry for Spirit it's much like gorging on a food your system needs most. It's delicious, and we can't seem to get enough.
One night in late 1983, walking through the hallway of my home in Bemidji, MN, I found myself standing there, suddenly there, disoriented, following a trip I didn't know anyone could take. I had shot out of my body and into the center of what I now call The All That Is, or the Mind of God. I had a memory of the absence of ANY thing. I said later, that to call it perfection demeaned it, minimized it. Nothing I could say describes it, even now. Coming back from it, I was changed. I was euphoric, remembering the Source from which we all come.
You've heard the term, "baby Christian," well I was a baby psychic/parapsychologist. I knew nothing, and I suppose that knowing nothing, expecting nothing, is the very best place to be to have the most profound experiences. These days I am able to surrender to that level of NoThing, but in those days I was so unschooled that speaking with Masters, traveling out of body, moving between dimensions was all so thrilling, yet accepted in naivete what I thought was expected of me.
The trip had just begun, I know now, and I needed the internal shift, the knowing, to support me throughout. We all need to know within that what is contained in our journey is worth the risks, the sacrifices - and that the joy, the reward will inevitably come.
We need to know that the purpose is more than we can know. Literally, more than we can know, yet supported by an internal magnetic compass. And we don't have to wonder if we have it. Being on the path of discovery is all the evidence we need. Indeed, being there, we have the compass. The journey cannot begin without it.
I am recalling that trip as now I strike up a conversation with God that was always there waiting for me, just as my out-of-body event was always there, waiting until I was ready. I am comforted and thrilled, challenged and engaged. I am grateful.
From the sublime to the mundane. Yes, the laundry is calling. Bless my laundry room, right across the hall. God's blessings are incalculable. They await us, in our perfectly devised Plan, until we are ready to accept them. In the simplicity of faith, recalling The All That Is, with gratitude, we soar!

Speaking of God....
Greetings, Everyone!
Just when you think (!) you know what you know...
Last week, just after having channeled A. Michael here, I was driving and heard a very strong, clear voice say, "Phyllis, you are still counting." The reference, of course, to my intention to cease keeping a mental ledger. This for that, bills balanced with money, etc. And then, after some conversation, heard, "I am paying your bills."
Now, that's a strange comment from A. Michael, right? So I kept up a running conversation, with gratitude, for the reminders, and only the next day realized this was not Michael, this was God.
I've stated in this blog that I've realized my true vocation is to learn God and to share that wisdom with any who are also searching. In other words, I got myself into this quandary - and this wondrous discovery.
I speak to "God," every day, thankful for the inspiration and counsel. I speak to Mother Earth in the same way, with gratitude for the day, for the support, the nourishment. But all along I have held that "God" is/was an indistinct concept, a body of Consciousness but NOT an actual being.
I have held that God is not male and female. We are born of the masculine Creator and the feminine Earth, just as we are conceived and born of a physical mother and father to this life, so we are born with all the genetic qualities of our Creator, containing and recalling as much of God as we can understand.
With this voice, so strong and distinct, my perceived world fell away and I spent about 30 hours in a depression. Losing what you believed was true is like losing an old friend. Who am I? What does this mean to the world I thought I knew?
I could not deny that the voice was concrete, personal, vivid.
The epiphany I experienced brings me to a new relationship with God, the personality, the voice, the being who is now as real to me as Christ, who is God, but not more than you and I are God; as Archangel Michael; as our friend, Barbara; as real as my human father who passed in 1955.
We, in this physical dimension, are incapable of comprehending God in his totality, but I am happy to have released my doubts. I can accept what is so real to me and release what is beyond my knowing. In the first rush of recall to what I believe we know when we are born, I realized I want to be ordained again. I feel the need to renew vows to this relationship.
Ah, we are all becoming, and for that I am grateful. How bored would we be if we just stopped and thought we had all the answers. I will ask for more counsel about what I can understand, and I thank God for both the questions and the mystery.
Breathing into the mystery,
I am Phyllis, still Becoming

Yes, Michael!
Greetings!
No explanation for my absence from this blog is engaging enough to relate here. Suffice to say that life has kept me either very involved, or inert, as a virus is apt to do. I've sure learned a lot and am grateful to my Internal Physician for informing and reforming me.
This morning I've realized that not only is Archangel Michael present today, but I saw his hands reach out to begin typing on my laptop! He must have something to say, so here goes:
"Talented people all over the planet are reporting extra-terrestrial activity and the influence of these beings on people and the planet. These reports are largely incorrect and I am here to clarify. I do not doubt their good intentions, but for the most part people report from their own Consciousness, thereby reflecting what they perceive to be truths important to the well being of others. Seek not to define yourselves by the perceptions of others, from whatever source. Define who you are by trusting what you've been given in your creation; the Wisdom that is yours and yours alone. It is precious and unique.
"Earth is autonomous. Earth is independent of any external influences. It stands alone in an experience of life that is uncommon and independent. It must be this way for the experience to remain authentic. Any external influence would compromise the authenticity of this extraordinary creation.
"To illustrate, think of it this way. You are born with free will and must learn to live independent of your parents and other authorities, even while being influenced and guided by others in authority. Your growth depends on your independent thought and action. A policeman may stop you for an infraction as you are driving and would not accept your placing blame on any other person, no matter what the circumstance. You are the driver, all the guideposts are present and you are the final authority behind the wheel of that vehicle.
"You do not live alone. You share information from any number of sources, but you are the only real authority in creating your life. Nothing prevails from outside of yourself. Influences exist but they do not rule, and any attempt on their part to alter your exercise of free will is unacceptable in the eyes of Creation.
"So it is with Earth. You all arrive on Earth to achieve an expanded state of experience. You are learning yourselves as best you can. You are expanding Consciousness. And you must do it by virtue of independent action. Bending to the will of an extra-terrestrial influence would so upset the balance of Earth's evolution that it could collapse on itself.
"Each of you is here with your own contract and assignments. You come in influenced by the extra-dimensional source that created your original form. Thus, each of you is here with a unique perspective. One way to think about this is to imagine that from twelve unique locations in the Cosmos a segment of that Consciousness took assignment to relocate to this planet. Think of them as twelve tribes, each with its own perspective. All gather on Earth and create in their diversity a balance through which this Earth experience evolves. Each is essential to the balance. Together they/you create a whole that explores, for the first time anywhere, the complex combination of mental, emotional and physical elements. Yes, the "spiritual" also combines with these, but that is not the point I am now making.
"So each of you carries an aspect of Consciousness born of your origins in the Cosmic plan, but you do so with theWisdom that you must carry the responsibility independent of those sources. You cannot go home to Mom and Dad. You must pay your own bills and grow the best way you can. You can call them, you can seek counsel, you can benefit from their wisdom, but you must remain independent. The grand experiment called Earth is not going to fail. You can walk taller and proud of your independent accomplishments. Source will never ask you to bend to its will. It created you to learn to walk alone. It created you to learn to trust yourself; not your ego, but your Spirit.
"Today I am also here to tell you how well you are doing in this regard. You are, more and more, trusting your Wisdom instead of your logic and emotion. You are learning how satisfying it is to lean into that Wisdom and to enjoy the expansive benefits of doing so.
"Nearly three years ago I told you that you were entering a three-year cycle of trying on for size the newly realized creational energy of Earth. By your summer solstice this year you will have completed this experience. So many of you are enjoying the fruits of this cycle, and your future is brighter because you dared to exercise new skills in this expansive evolutionary period.
"The month of March is a pressurized timeline. You will see it in unusual weather patterns. Science will be amazed at what occurs. I will not prognosticate about exact events. I will say to you that as you surrender to Wisdom, you will handle your situations beautifully. Yes, that means breathing, deeply and often, to relax reactions. As you approach the middle of June, you may want to celebrate what you have survived and how humanity has proven itself, once again. Growth. More growth.
"Trust yourselves. Exactly as you are. You are succeeding. I offer you this counsel not to influence your will, but to support your independence, to encourage you. Our respect for you is limitless."
In gratitude,
I am Phyllis, breathing with each of you

One way to think about this is to imagine that from twelve unique locations in the Cosmos a segment of that Consciousness took assignment to relocate to this planet. Think of them as twelve tribes, each with its own perspective. All gather on Earth and create in their diversity a balance through which this Earth experience evolves. Each is essential to the balance. Together they/you create a whole that explores, for the first time anywhere, the complex combination of mental, emotional and physical elements. Yes, the "spiritual" also combines with these, but that is not the point I am now making.
"So each of you carries an aspect of Consciousness born of your origins in the Cosmic plan, but you do so with theWisdom that you must carry the responsibility independent of those sources. You cannot go home to Mom and Dad. You must pay your own bills and grow the best way you can. You can call them, you can seek counsel, you can benefit from their wisdom, but you must remain independent. The grand experiment called Earth is not going to fail. You can walk taller and proud of your independent accomplishments. Source will never ask you to bend to its will. It created you to learn to walk alone. It created you to learn to trust yourself; not your ego, but your Spirit.
"Today I am also here to tell you how well you are doing in this regard. You are, more and more, trusting your Wisdom instead of your logic and emotion. You are learning how satisfying it is to lean into that Wisdom and to enjoy the expansive benefits of doing so.
"Nearly three years ago I told you that you were entering a three-year cycle of trying on for size the newly realized creational energy of Earth. By your summer solstice this year you will have completed this experience. So many of you are enjoying the fruits of this cycle, and your future is brighter because you dared to exercise new skills in this expansive evolutionary period.
"The month of March is a pressurized timeline. You will see it in unusual weather patterns. Science will be amazed at what occurs. I will not prognosticate about exact events. I will say to you that as you surrender to Wisdom, you will handle your situations beautifully. Yes, that means breathing, deeply and often, to relax reactions. As you approach the middle of June, you may want to celebrate what you have survived and how humanity has proven itself, once again. Growth. More growth.
"Trust yourselves. Exactly as you are. You are succeeding. I offer you this counsel not to influence your will, but to support your independence, to encourage you. Our respect for you is limitless."
In gratitude,
I am Phyllis, breathing with each of you
