Recently in meditation this message came through very strongly from The Higher:
Your only obligation is to God.
It is too easy to somehow underestimate the importance of God. It is very common that we get so busy with what we perceive to be our responsibilities that we forget what is most essential – our relationship with the Beloved.
Know this to be true: by putting God first, the rest of our life will fall into place.

Your Higher Self is an indispensable tool in solving problems and challenges.
A simple exercise to work with your Higher self is to envision a brilliant golden sun above your head, about two feet. This radiant sun is your Higher Self, your highest nature. It is your direct link to Source. Begin by placing your attention in this golden sun. Feel its eternal warmth. Once there, ask that what you need to know concerning the situation be revealed to you. Ask in faith! The key is to believe an answer/insight will be given.
In placing your attention in your Higher Self, let go of your problem. Surrender your issue to Source. This is paramount. The Higher knows what is going on. It knows better than you or I. Too many times we cling to our problems and this prevents us from receiving the love, help, and guidence God is sending. It keeps us in the mental part of our being, preventing us from reaching into the Higher.
After you have held to receive God’s gift, thank The Higher and bring your attention back to your physical body. Notice any sensations, thoughts, emotions, inspirations, desires. Even if they dont make sense, take note! The Higher speaks to us in many ways.
Let go of your problem. Clear it from your mind to give room to receive divine inspiration. Allow the miracle. Forgive. And Give Thanks.
Our career is certainly one of the most dominant areas of our life. Many of our experiences here on Earth are related to the pursuit of our career. In the aura, there are definite spiritual energies that are directly related to our work life. A predominant energy is a white light seen in the heart chakra or Hermetic Center. This white light reflects the diverse aspects of our talents and abilities that we must draw upon in our career pursuits.
Each of us has a unique purpose when it comes to our career. We are each playing a part in the divine plan of life. When we go with the flow with our purpose, naturally our life moves in a positive direction. If we confound our career purpose, this can become an endless source of frustration and disappointment. A challenge in our career is that we do not pursue this part of our life alone. Others are part of our career life and spiritual purpose. When others make life difficult or work against the spiritual grain, it can make our life arduous. Yet, regardless of how others are acting, it’s up to us to continue to do what we know is right and true in our heart and things will work out.
I have been asked what the Higher feels about the current job climate and the millions of people who have recently lost their jobs. This is a complicated issue, but of course the divine is working diligently to turn things around. It will take time but conditions will eventually get better. The key is to continue to pursue your career with more determination than ever, regardless if you are currently working or not.
What the Higher has emphasized is that with the overextending of credit, many jobs were created based on a market that did not really exist. Now that that economy is correcting itself, many of the jobs connected to the inflated market have disappeared. Complicating conditions are those who are hording money and deliberately manipulating the market for personal gain. Yet, regardless of what is happening, the job market will correct itself because the supply and demand of jobs has not really changed, just moved around. Where some jobs are lost, others will eventually be gained.
The current situation does not change the spiritual purpose and career potential each of us has. But it does ask you to look more closely at your work life and call on all of your spiritual strength to get through this painful retunement process. The emerald green ray of balance and harmony is very important in these situations to keep your steady and patience through career challenges. The gold light is excellent to work with in your aura to bring inner strength and courage to help you do your best. Regardless of present conditions, your destiny shines as bright as ever.

A very interesting spiritual element of the presidential inauguration is its connection to national karma. Many dynamics have come together at this same time, yet part of the reason there is such euphoria connected to President Obama and the new administration is a shifting in national karma and its effect on the world. Every nation shares in collective karma whether it be good, bad or indifferent. Many elements affect national karma including the actions of a nation’s leadership as well as the individual actions of its citizens. As the Higher has said before, the United States has been working through a difficult period of national karma. This karma has come full circle and the grey aura around the United States has lifted in the beautiful white light. This tells us that better days are ahead and there will be new opportunities for the United States. However, it also indicates that things will not change overnight. We must learn from the lessons of the past and make sure we’re doing our part to build on this new positive energy. While a country’s destiny is always in the hands of God, it’s up to all of us to realize that destiny.
And so one of the most unusual and dramatic presidential elections in history has come to a close and the United States has a new leader in Barack Obama. In many ways, Obama represents much more than just a new face in politics, he represents a new way of seeing the world. He is a new voice for an emerging generation of people and way of thinking. The enthusiasm he has generated around the world indicates that the hope he offers is not just for a nation but for a world that is now fully engaged in the dynamics of the 21st century.
What can we expect from Obama? Can he live up to the hopes and dreams that so many have? The Higher has shared that this is a beginning. There are new dynamics in play and we are entering into a period of rebuilding. Changes will happen and there are brighter days ahead, but these changes will not all happen overnight. The nation has come out of a difficult period of national karma. The Higher tells us there was a grey pallor over our nation, and for that matter the world, reflecting the challenging times we have been facing.
Fortunately, this national karma is coming full circle. The grey energy around our nation has been released and now there is a pure white light indicating an upliftment or spiritual facelift is taking place. Again this does not mean things are going to change immediately, but the spiritual energy is there to build a bright future. Obama represents this turn for the better that is in store for our country and, in due course, the world.
In terms of Obama himself, no question he’s sincere and will try to do the best job he can. This is reflected in his aura. Obama has a pronounced royal blue in his aura. Royal blue shows dedication indicating his sincerity to make a difference. There is devotion and loyalty here which again shows his heart is in the right place. Royal blue also indicates determination. Certainly Obama has demonstrated a great deal of determination to get to the place he is now.
He also has a pronounced emerald green energy. This reveals a balanced and steady person. He is not easily upset or unnerved by things going on around him. It indicates he is capable of seeing both sides to a situation and would be a good mediator in working out conflicts with others.
In understanding the spiritual dynamics of leadership, another factor to keep in mind is that there is a karma and destiny when it comes to presidents. The leaders we have are destined to be our leaders. It is rare that someone becomes a leader who was not meant to lead, and if they do it’s for a short time. We may complain about a leader’s performance or decisions, but it is our national karma-good or bad-to have the leaders we have. Of course, we must still go through the process of selecting our leaders, as we have just done, but in doing so, what we are really doing is fulfilling our part in the divine plan.
So it is the destiny of our nation to have Barack Obama as our leader. While we may differ on various issues and share differing points of view, as citizens of this great nation we must all stand and support our new leader. There is a lot of work ahead and we must all do our part to take this country to a new and better place. Pray for our leaders; they need our support. Pray for our nation and pray for the world.

A reader writes: “Hello, I so enjoy these blogs . . . I am hoping maybe you can help with my energy system situation. I am noticing that sometimes my energy disappears and I become muddle-headed as soon as I have a thought that doesn’t work for me . . . I view that others have stronger energy systems and are able to do things that might be disagreeable to them while I can’t even think about it without upsetting my apple-cart. Would you be able to recommend anything for me? – Melinda“
An excellent question. Everyone has moments when something disturbs their spiritual equilibrium. This is all part of the learning process. Of course, the goal is to not let these moments get the better of us. As the Higher teaches us, it’s not what happens in our life that matters so much as how we handle what is happening to us. That is the part we are in control of.When something disturbs you, immediately turn to God and the Higher for help. Work with the light to release that disturbance. The white light is excellent for this as is the orange-red flame followed by the rejuvenating blue white-fire. Also work with the emerald green for balance in the emotional center. Then ask the divine for guidance and direction. Trust the Higher and your intuition and follow whatever guidance you’re receiving to the best of your ability.
