The Path to My Heart

Tools, insight and wisdom for the newly awakened

What’s Inside – Welcome Message
Newly Awakened and Questioning Reality?

You’re in the right place! Experiencing freedom while living on a prison planet has been a long-time goal of mine.
- How to be in the world but not of it.
- How to remain centered in the storm.
- How to discern truth from lies.
It’s been quite a journey. I share with you my blog which contains insights I’ve gained along The Path to my Heart which I hope will be of benefit to you. It’s also a place for me to share my experiences with healing negative beliefs, ending vicious cycles, facing fear and allowing negative emotions to surface without judgment.

Without healing and completing these things, you can not be free.

Please join me if you are interested in finding your own truth and a possibility for lasting healing!

What to do? – The Bystander Effect

I saw this video on a friend’s facebook page and it really made an impact, especially with what’s been going on in my life lately regarding speaking up and being authentic. Please watch the video – you won’t regret it!

Creating a Context for Your Life

I’ve been struggling with where to place my experience from last week, the one where I confronted a man’s actions of blatant disregard for property. (read more here) I can’t quite qualify it because it was very unlike me and I couldn’t stop myself. I know it happened for a reason, just not sure how or where it fits into my life at this time.

Authentically Congruent

The state of being awake and aware, building upon my last post about awareness, is a complete, embodied knowing that freedom of expression is possible. With this sense of freedom also comes less fear – and visa versa. My expression had taken a massive hit to the point of being completely shut down by the age of 14. It’s finally now just resurfacing and through many years of growth, there’s a solid foundation for it to stand upon.

Awareness is Power

We are told knowledge is power. That may be true, but I also feel awareness in its own right is also very powerful. I looked up Awareness and one definition was: conscious knowledge. I love that phrase, conscious knowledge. Have you ever experienced a time when you’ve heard yourself saying: Wow, I knew that, but now I actually get it! I myself have experienced this many times when I’ve been told something, and then somewhere down the line, lo and behold, I really get it! That knowledge has become conscious. Something inside has awakened.

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 at times.

Claim it!

I was feeling a bit under the weather a few days ago, like I was coming down with something. I felt tired, had a bit of a sore throat, and I was getting weaker. I could actually feel and watch myself decline into the belief I was getting sick. A sudden, noticeable voice in my head came in and snapped me out of it. It told me I had the power to take charge of the situation and along with that came a knowing. I made a decision then and there to stop my decline and take matters into my own hands. I stated:

I claim my health!

What we Think we Know

As it turns out, not much. Back in the late 1980’s I participated in the Landmark Forum. It was a very powerful and transformative experience. The processes within the Forum, many developed by Werner Erhard in the 1970’s, provide effective teachings to help you face your fear in order to live life authentically. In one such experience, I got to see that there’s a lot we don’t know, most of which is beyond the scope of our imagination.

Bringing it Home
As the ascension process progresses, you may begin to notice slight changes in yourself or the people around you for no apparent reason. For example, symptoms like:
- shakiness,
- feeling displaced,
- unable to feel like oneself almost as if something’s missing
- confused, not thinking clearly
- not quite right

Divergence – Having to let go

People are going to do what they want regardless of what I think. Yes, I know this, but some intense force of urgency came over me a couple years ago and overruled my common sense: I tried my hardest to change people’s perceptions. Stupid? Well, yes. We’re getting into Einstein’s definition of insanity here: doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. Only recently have I felt a shift within. I had no choice but to give up and let go because continuing to hold on was insane.

Breaking Free from Imposed ‘Reality’

Piggy-backing onto my last post regarding organic vs artificial, let’s suppose, for example, we are all in a game, living on a game board. We can call it the Matrix, like the movie, or call it a simulation. The person who is ‘me = Donna’ is represented by my game piece, or avatar. I move around the game board square by square, believing I’m getting somewhere, but wait, almost like the game “Shoots and Ladders” (“Snakes and Ladders” in the UK) I land on a ‘shoot’ and down I go back where I started. Brush myself off, maybe next time if I’m lucky enough, I’ll land on a ‘ladder’ and climb because it feels better to climb.

Organic vs Artificial

As we move closer to true freedom, it truly is challenging to maintain equilibrium as the outer world is in the process of deconstructing that which is not organic. We have been living in an artificial construct, an un-reality that has been sold to us as the truth. I question everything now. The extent of our reality that is actually organic can sometimes be difficult to discern from the artificial.

Finding the Truth Within

Finding our inner truth can be challenging at the best of times. Add in fear, heightened emotions and living in ‘the age of information warfare’ – good luck! I don’t know about you, but the world seems louder to me. Time seems faster and there is so much going on. We are constantly being bombarded with loads of input – telling us what’s what out in the world – which even this information changes on a daily basis. What to do. How do we then, uncover the truth? How do we find our truth?

New Normal? Are we there yet?

May be good news for some, and bad news for others – but there is no new normal to be attained – there never was. You can not go backwards moving forward. This may be a scary thought for those who have been waiting patiently for things to level off to some sort of normalcy. What’s coming can not be stopped, nor will it appear ‘normal’ in any way, shape, or form.

What Really Matters in Life?

I was recently on a WordPress course called ‘Where is Your Audience Hiding?’ It was quite good and went deeper than I though it would. I had to look at what makes me unique, why am I different, and why would someone want to read what I write and who would that person be. We each had to write down a sentence for what we offer that’s unique and search that sentence on the internet. I searched: “How to make my spiritual growth easier.” The search results were all quite similar, but one in particular stood out, hence the title of this post.

The Bifurcation

One person’s perception of reality can vary greatly from another’s, however during this time of history, the division is becoming more and more pronounced. I’ve really noticed this on a large scale through a neighborhood group app (county wide) I joined. I find the topics very interesting and the opinions that are shared, sometimes quite shocking. It’s clear to me that humanity is experiencing a bifurcation: the division of something into two branches or parts, as the sharing on this app clearly demonstrates.

Learning Discernment: A Crucial Skill

The first counsel written over the gateway to the temple of Delphi, “Know Thyself” is an important element of good discernment. In my experience, there’s a direct correlation between the quality of discernment and how well we know ourselves. Having good discernment can help us see things with a clear eye and receive answers to questions like:

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 not a burden! Your negative thoughts are a burden – more likely. Wars are fought over beliefs. We would die for some of them, believing ourselves to be “right” to the death. Many times, we find these beliefs we suffer over aren’t even ours. They are ones we picked up from our parents, family, friends, teachers and the media.

Does God Exist? Eliminating the Barriers of Separation

Not so long ago, I realized my connection with God was tentative. I’m in no way religious, so I wasn’t worried about the wrath of God. I was a bit skeptical however, or maybe I had some unfinished business with Him. I knew about things like synchronicity, The Secret, The Law of Resonance, the Universe, etc., but my interest was mainly from a point of view: That’s just how things work here. It didn’t have anything to do with God.

Are You Listening . . .

Awareness and listening are both very important components of communication. There may be a variety of things outside our conscious awareness trying to get our attention for a chance to interact with us. The subtle and varied ways they use to get our attention can sometimes be tough to interpret and may slip under our radar. The trick is knowing that it’s possible, and understanding that messages can come from anywhere at anytime.

Time to Relax

Easier said than done! Since the Divine Demonstration I experienced a few weeks ago, and my return to innocence, I am beginning to notice how hard it is for me to relax. When my mind was fully engaged in trying to solve the world’s problems (an irrational belief), I had no idea how much stress this placed on my body or how it had become an acceptable and usual way of being. It was so much a part of my day-to-day life – I didn’t even notice it. Kind of like how a fish doesn’t notice the water.

A Return to Innocence

I’ve made a career out of being hard on myself. I’ve been my own worst enemy and abuser, experiencing cycles that delve into darkness, shutting down and withdrawing – closing off to the world and becoming unavailable. However, I do have the ability to carry on as if nothing’s wrong and fit in – when needed. My father was like that too.

A Divine Demonstration

I recently spent a week on Iona island in Scotland where I found myself living and witnessing a very powerful Divine demonstration. The island’s guardian is Columba, a very special being. On the first evening of my arrival, a friend of mine who I travelled with and had been to the island many times before, took me on a bit of a tour. We ended up at the abbey. We stopped at a small room attached to the Abbey (photo below, small door shown to the left of the cross) and went inside.

Duck and Cover

Who are you relying on to inform you of the truth? Is it your neighbor? The news media? Work colleagues? Social media? The government? Your friends and family? Experts? These groups of people may know or report on a small percentage of the actual truth – and who knows where they obtained their information from and what filters, biases and judgments the information passed through.

An Opportunity to Heal

Not sure how anyone can escape being effected by the events happening on the world stage at this time in history. I wouldn’t blame any one for feeling anger, frustration, fear or even trauma. The world can feel like a very unsafe place to be right now. Propaganda or not, it’s a very challenging time to be alive. However, if these events are bothering you to the point of getting in the way of your day to day life, and effecting your health and wellbeing, there is something you can do to help yourself come into a place of peace.

Life is Like That

Life is just like that – we take steps without really understanding who is the one walking and sometimes we need to look back to see truly how we arrived where we are standing. But for how much longer can we get away with living this way? I dare say time is running out on that way of being.
