Stuck in the Mud


It has recently come to my attention that I’ve been stuck in the mud up to and just over my eyebrows! I’ve been angry and frustrated for years, I even stopped writing blog posts. I couldn’t see the point. I could see what was happening in the world of lies and propaganda and felt helpless to make a difference. I’d look up and see a beautiful blue sky ruined by chemtrails forcing my fist up into the air cursing – not to mention I’ll be breathing that crap into my lungs! I look at food labels and feel disgusted. The water from the faucet smells strongly of chlorine. Taxes are being raised and the cost of living is through the roof causing needless suffering. People aren’t getting any better health wise, just the opposite in fact. Many families are having a hard time keeping up. It’s all so very depressing here on planet earth from where I stand . . . here in the mud.

Fighting against this reality had the effect of pulling me deeper into that world, causing my perceptions and beliefs to become stronger. “It shouldn’t be this way!” “Why do people believe the lies?” I sunk deeper and deeper into helplessness and depression. My life force dwindled and I became very pessimistic and negative. If this is the way it is, I want out. Enough!

In other words, what I resisted, persisted.

What to do. The past couple of weeks I’ve been experiencing a pain in my right side. I thought it could be a grumbling appendix, so I went in search for help. Living on planet earth had become a pain in my side. I had a session with a Theta Practitioner and what showed up was quite profound.

In the session, my spiritual guidance teams showed up and gave me a visual – they showed me buried deep in the mud up to my forehead. My whole life had become about what I was seeing and experiencing in the mud. I was living my life from all the perceptions, beliefs and disappointments that exist in the mud. From now on, every time I find myself upset about something, my team invited me to say “I realize I’m in the mud”.

So I’ve been doing just that. I saw chemtrails the other day and before I started to grumble, I said: I realize I’m in the mud! I could feel something profoundly change within me. It really made a difference. I’m in the mud – of course there’s chemtrails – they exist in the mud. What do I expect? I fret about the cost of living or the multitude of lies I’m hearing – I say: I realize I’m in the mud!

I discovered that when I believed my thoughts, I suffered, but when I didn’t believe them, I didn’t suffer, and this is true for every human being.  Freedom is as simple as that.  I found that suffering is optional.Byron Katie

If you’ve read my past blog posts, you may remember me talking about living on a prison planet. You also know I’ve been trying to be free on this prison planet with little to no success. There are times when I am being creative that I feel free, but it’s so easy to fall back into the mud reality. My teams shared with me that the mud is only one possible reality and I know that getting stuck there feels horrible and limited. I also know now that freedom can’t exist in the mud reality, nor can peace. It’s impossible. All that exists there for me is victimization and suffering.

Werner mentions in the above video that there’s a ‘payoff’ for my protest/racquet regarding “prison Earth” – I get to be right and make others wrong, I also get to feel justified. What’s probably the most interesting payoff for me is – avoiding being dominated. That’s a big one. Seeing all the problems here in the mud keeps me in the illusion that I can’t be dominated because I know the truth. However, the funny thing is my whole entire life is being dominated by this racquet!! As I said, there is no freedom possible. There are no answers here. Possibility does not exist.

Step 1 – I realize I am in the mud. It feels really good to say that and like I mentioned, the resistance disappears and my expectations and negative beliefs about ‘things should be different’ also fall away. THIS IS THE MUD – what do I expect? Nothing now, except what is – is. The resistance stops and it is now possible for me to lift myself up out of the mud! That I suppose will be step 2. Stay tuned.

For now, I’ll continue to do my homework of realizing I am in the mud as soon as I noticed I am stuck there. Anything is possible from here.

Joy to the World

Not so much a late Christmas post, but more of a preview of what’s shown up unexpectedly for me. Sometimes I get really down. The truth, or rather my truth as I know it, can be burdensome. The war over consciousness is real and maintaining a semblance of peace and open-heartedness is difficult for me…

Ending Negative Self-Talk

Negative beliefs and self-talk are very destructive to ourselves and others, mostly because we believe these negative things we tell ourselves are true. This is mainly because we identify with them and use “I am” in front of things like being a burden, weak, not worthy, a mistake . . . It’s not true.  You’re…

    Sometimes dear Donna, I feel we all have to wallow in the mud, and it often takes others to make us take notice of how stuck in that mud we have become..

    And if we do not listen, then out body begins to talk to us…
    I love that you are now acknowledging the Mud realm…
    I dive into it myself more often than I would like… But my own recent pain, is helping me let go …
    Its not easy, and no doubt the mud will splatter us again, and again, from time to time… But realising we are wallowing in a mud bath, and taking those steps to lift ourselves out and look at life from a new perspective, is clearing off the mud…

    We can only be free, when our minds stop reminding us we are in ‘Prison’…. Only we have the Key to unlock that door to Freedom…

    My daughter is very good at manifesting… And once when I said about the Chem trails annoying me… She said this to me… She said its because you look for them Mum that you see them…
    That struck a cord with me… So I try to look past them…

    This year it is my intention to create Beauty…. One single thing every day… Or see beauty in one thing each day…

    And I am seeing so much beauty in ALL things that surround me right now….

    I have not watched the video as yet… I hope to come back tomorrow to view it…
    But I am delighted Donna you are writing again….
    Sending you much love and Many Blessings as we each learn and grow through our own personal experiences… xxx ❤

      Hi Sue! Thank you for your great comment. Yes, I’ve been stuck in the mud longer than usual this time – you know like the fish can’t see the water, I couldn’t see the mud. Ugh. It’s fine to see the mud, just not identify with it and make it personal – that was my problem. I made it my reality, so yes as your daughter implied – it became my only reality. Feels so much better to be out into possibility, or at least stick my head up. I love your intention to see beauty every day, it’s a worthwhile and fun activity! Sending you also much love and blessings!! xx
