Looking beyond the Ego for Our Essence

Looking beyond the Ego for Our Essence

By Kenneth Schmitt

Post on May 3, 2026

When there is negativity in our presence, we feel unable to be joyful and filled with vitality. In our subconscious, we have established energetic blocks that keep us unaware of the Source of our life-force. We have not known the nature of our innate vitality. Although we have the free will to feel and imagine as we choose in every moment, our culture has not paid attention to qualities of our life-force. It is the pure expression of creative essence that constantly flows through us in the ways that we choose in our modulation of its polarity, frequency and power.

Because our life comes to us through the essence of our Being, we are created to be artists with our imagination and how we feel. We all do this all the time, knowingly and unknowingly. We create the beauty in our lives, as well as everything we don’t like. By paying attention to what we don’t like, we give it our life-force. It stays with us as long as we give it our attention.

The strongest creative force is our desire, and this is where we must pay close attention, if we want greater understanding of our own nature. We innately know the energy that we want to experience. This is the expression of our life-force. It is the same for all of us, because we are all the same essence of Being. Because we share our human consciousness, we can open our awareness to the awareness of everyone. In addition, we each have our individual interests and expressions.

This is as much of our script as we are given upon incarnation. We are cut loose from awareness of our origin and source, not even knowing that we are constantly creating the qualities of our lives. It is our life-long challenge to penetrate our consciousness to find out what our essence is, and what are we capable of. While living in a sea of consciousness filled with every possible experience, each of us holds and expresses a unique set of desires.

Because we have an ego-consciousness apart from our true essence, we must look beyond the ego to realize our essence and the extent of our awareness. Only we ourselves can stop us from creating everything we need or want. Our creative life force constantly fills us with its presence. It gives us the freedom to use our power of realization to shape and enliven our experiences. We can create a new world for ourselves and all who choose to align with the life-force that we recognize as our true presence of awareness.

Although our essence is present in us now within our body, it transcends time and space. It is our aliveness as a fractal of infinite consciousness. We are its active awareness, giving us abilities far beyond our wildest dreams. Its only requirement is our realization of its reality beyond our limiting beliefs about ourselves.

Where Is The Answer?

Where Is The Answer?

The Creator Writings

By Jennifer Farley

Post on May 3, 2026

 

If you have asked and are waiting for an answer from The Universe and you do not feel it is coming… breathe and open your mind. 

Sometimes, when your attention is directed solely on one thing, you will forget to look at the Infinite perspective. 

Release the need for the answer to come in a way you expect it. Look around, look within and without yourself; it will come in ways that you least expect

The Creator

From Heart to Soul: The Path to Liberation

From Heart to Soul: The Path to Liberation

By Owen Waters

Post on May 3, 2026

Freedom! The eternal cry of the soul.

But, what is the soul? And what does freedom entail?

People often equate heart and soul as the same thing while, in reality, they are distinct and different so it helps to make some definitions. After all, a journey to a new land goes well when it starts with a map and it can falter when no such guide is available.

In these days of The Shift, our physical bodies are being gradually risen in frequency. When the time is ripe, we will physically enter fourth-density existence, a higher realm where heart-centered consciousness is the basis of all thought.

In today’s third-density world, ambition for the self often takes precedence over the good of the many. In the emerging heart-centered consciousness, however, one’s effect on others is given every consideration and win-win situations are sought.

As the heart opens further, the door opens to spiritual awakening. Once spirituality enters the perspective, it becomes obvious that the primary objective of the human experience is that of spiritual growth. Even though, at a soul level, each person has a unique set of objectives for their life, the underlying primary purpose of all human life remains the same – that of spiritual growth.

While spiritual awakening occurs in the developed stage of heart-centered awareness, the very next step brings enormous enlightenment through an awakening of contact with the soul level of consciousness.

Your soul is based in the fifth-density, or throat chakra, level of consciousness. It is also present at all times in every other level of your consciousness, including day-to-day physical awareness, but people rarely turn within to pay it much attention during a busy day.

Within your soul are the memories of everyone you have ever been, of every experience you have ever had, and the plan you outlined for this life before it began. Life plans are continually managed at a soul level because they need adjustments to stay on track despite changing circumstances.

A life plan is a map of intended destiny, but it needs constant adaptation and the physical mind is helped through intuitive inspiration from the soul. The more in-touch you are with your inner being, the easier it becomes for you to stay on track with your own life plan.

As you encourage your own soul awareness, you become closer to mastering all that physical life has to offer and closer to completing your own cycle of reincarnation. When you rise above the need for further reincarnation, you move into the soul realms and operate from there with all the freedoms that come with such an unlimited existence.

As a soul, you are then able to move across space and time at will, as easily as the hands of a pianist running up and down a keyboard. You exist in a world of beauty, filled with endless hues of color and inspiring harmonic sounds. Your connection to the divine is open and this fills you with constant joy. Your soul family – hundreds of other souls that you love the most – can be in touch with you at any time you wish. There is no loneliness in such a connected and supporting world.

You learn the deeper mysteries of life without having to pursue any of the needs and duties that now take up so much of your time in the physical world.

The ultimate journey from the heart to the soul can start now with a determination to develop your own soul awareness while in your physical body and to take rapid strides toward the liberation that awaits us all.

It is your progress into higher consciousness while living in a physical body which counts more than anything in the grand scheme of things.

Taking Responsibility

Taking Responsibility

The Creator Writings

By Jennifer Farley

Post on May 2, 2026

 

When you hear yourself saying, “It’s all your fault” or “It’s not my fault”… stop… rewind and take a second look at the situation. 

With the firm knowledge that you create your entire Earth-plane existence, go over the challenge again and see what part your energy has played in the situation. 

More often than not, you will see that you have been in denial regarding your true feelings and actions. 

The Universe will never make you feel bad about the decisions you make, however, it asks that you take responsibility for them. 

When you are able to accomplish this, you are well on your way to becoming what you are truly supposed to be; whole and healthy within yourself.

How to Find Your Signal in the Noise

How to Find Your Signal in the Noise

By Leo Babauta

Post on May 2, 2026

Our lives are filled with so many inputs, it can all just feel like noise — emails, messages, tasks, meetings, news, social media and more. We get overwhelmed, and often shut down or avoid.

Too many priorities, too much information, too many inputs, too much noise.

The secret is to find the signal in all this noise.

The noise is everything that feels urgent, or all the incoming stuff. It can make us reactive when we’re acting on the noise.

The signal is the stuff that actually matters. It’s the stuff that will move the needle, make the impact you want, move the important things forward in a meaningful way.

We need to get good at distinguishing this if we want to deal with overwhelm, and be less reactive.

So how do we distinguish the signal from the noise?

Let’s take a look.

Criteria for Finding the Signal

There’s no right answer here, but here are some ways I look for signal in all of the noise …

1. What would move forward my most important things?
2. What would I regret ignoring?
3. What keeps surfacing when I get quiet?

And this last one is what I highly recommend — practicing a little stillness every day. It can be daily meditation, but it could also be just pausing for a minute or two, closing your eyes, breathing in slowly, and relaxing. Listening.

In this kind of stillness and quiet, the signal becomes clearer.

How to Practice

Question 1 above (moving forward your most important things) requires you to know what’s most important. So I recommend a little stillness every few months, for an hour or two, to get clear on your priorities. They might shift over the course of a year, so check back in every 3 months or so.

Then do a weekly “signal check”: 10 minutes at the start of the week to ask what’s really important for this week. Write those down, schedule them if you can.

I highly recommend doing a daily stillness practice, either at the start of the day or at the end (or both!) to keep the signal visible. What’s important for today, in all the noise?

And during the course of the day, if you’re overwhelmed or feeling reactive … just take a moment to calm yourself, re-center, and get clear on your signal with just a moment of stillness.

Clarity isn’t found in more information — it’s found in letting ourselves relax into stillness, and finding the signal of what really matters.

with love,

Leo Babauta

Awake Among Sleepers

Awake Among Sleepers

The Creator Writings

By Jennifer Farley

Post on May 1, 2026

 

The Universe knows some of you are having a challenging time in this moment; it is not easy being surrounded by sleepers when you are awake. 

Part of your human self wants to return to the mundane world that most others exist in, to be part of the crowd, to be normal. 

The Divine Part realizes that it is not possible to go back and may be dismayed at the lack of concern other show for each other. After all, competition runs deep in the mass consciousness of your Earth plane.

Today, The Universe asks that you focus on your light and love… making sure to send it out in great waves to those still sleeping. 

When the time comes, they will be looking to you for guidance and that is when your true work will begin. Until then, please know that all is well and in perfect time.

The Creator

Awakening Season

Awakening Season

Emmanuel Dagher

ENERGY FORECAST

MAY 2026

Post on April 22, 2026

Hi My Friend,

The world is shifting more quickly than ever, and the good news is, the powerful energies behind those shifts are dissolving the veils of illusion and separation just as quickly.

The Next Awakening is happening now, and I’m excited to explore all of that with you!

Awakening Season

For thousands of years, there have been many cosmic occurrences that have served as anchor points for awakening humanity.

These awakening points have occurred in waves, spread out over time so that as many people as possible could evolve in the gentlest and easiest of ways.

Yet the awakening we are experiencing now is also happening simultaneously in multiple timelines.

It’s all coming together to create one of the most powerful awakenings humanity has ever experienced.

To understand what’s happening now, it’s important to be clear on what a personal and a collective awakening is.

An awakening is less about a destination we are trying to reach, and more about an ongoing journey that results in our reclaiming our sovereignty, our freedom to increasingly become more of our true and authentic self.

Whenever a particular group or culture reaches a certain level of awareness, a perfect environment is created for an energetic opening to occur.

The Portal to Our Awakening

This open doorway is known as a “portal” we travel through to experience greater shifts in consciousness. That in turn then tremendously shapes the way our society exists.

The energetic environment we are in right now has brought us right to the doorway of one of the greatest leaps in consciousness humanity has ever experienced.

We are all being given the opportunity to move through this portal, so that we can fully awaken and set ourselves free from a matrix that operates in fear, lack, separation, and everything in between.

This Divine opening doesn’t show up outside of ourselves.

It is not about being saved by an outside presence, person, or culture that is greater or more evolved than we are.

Some may still be in the place where they believe that awakening is a matter of being saved by someone or something outside of themselves, and if that is giving them comfort for now, that’s OK.

Yet it will not last.

There’s no right or wrong in anyone’s growth process, and there is always individual choice about how growth happens. Eventually, we all get to exactly where we are meant to be.

The question we can ask ourselves is… Do we want our awakening journey to be delayed?

Or are we fully ready to step into it now?

Each of us is exactly where we are meant to be right now.

The portal leading us to a more awakened version of ourselves and our society will not close until we have fully moved through it.

It will not leave you or anyone behind.

Each of us is simply moving at our own pace.

There’s no pace that is “the right one.” Every pace is perfect and Divine for whatever path of growth and expansion we are on.

The awakening portal is as close to us as our sacred breath.

Many who have stepped through it don’t even realize they’ve done so, until they reflect back to see how much they have shifted in the past few weeks, months, or years.

To find out if you have stepped into your awakening, simply think back to where you were just one month ago, six months ago, or one, two, or even five years ago. Also think about how the world was back then, and how it is now.

Is everything the same? Or have things changed in big ways, in your life and in the world?

It’s so clear to see, isn’t it?

Signs of Awakening

With the immense amount of powerful light flowing into our planet every day, it’s important to honor our integration process.

Many of us have come to recognize the signs of these integrations as Awakening or Ascension Symptoms.

For those who may not be aware of what these signs are, the list below offers some clarity on what millions of people are experiencing right now.

If you are experiencing a physical or emotional symptom you are not sure about, or if it’s lasting longer than you’d like, it may be helpful to check with your holistic healthcare practitioner.

If we do experience any of the symptoms below, it’s important to give ourselves permission to feel them, rather than resist them. Feeling them allows us to move through them more easily, rather than continue to recreate them in our reality.

By feeling them, we will allow the integration process to move much more quickly, so we can get back to being our optimal selves again.

Awakening symptoms may show up physically as:

• Change in appetite
• Weight gain or loss
• Memory loss
• Ringing in one ear
• Vertigo
• Feeling disoriented
• Pressure in third eye area or temples (almost like a headache)
• Muscle cramps
• Heightened senses and awareness
• Changes in sleep patterns
• Stomach aches
• Hot flashes
• Tiredness
• Being hungry all the time

Awakening symptoms may show up emotionally as:

• Emotional ups and downs
• Anxiety
• Crying
• Anger
• Moodiness
• Irritability
• Bursts of laughter or tears
• Worrying
• Depression
• Over-analyzing situations or events
• Lots of unexplained, unfocused physical energy

Whatever comes up for you, please take extra care of yourself now, knowing that all will pass once it is fully embraced, felt, and honored.

In our personal lives, the Great Awakening is revealing itself in all areas of our lives, including relationships, career, health/well-being, thoughts, behaviors, desires, and personal development. 

On the global scene, we’re seeing a great deal of information come to light that is laying the foundation for monumental healing and change, for our planet and for humanity as a whole.

Any organization, structure, or ideology not operating from an all-inclusive, heart-centered, compassionate, respectful, and just space will simply not be allowed to continue that way much longer.

This shake-up is offering all of us the opportunity to evolve, heal, and expand beyond anything we’ve ever experienced.

Our Spirit knew we could handle it, and that’s why we chose to be here during the most monumental time in humanity’s history.

This is the time we’ve been waiting for, when we as a collective move from a primitive state of being (war, separation, fear) to an awakened state of being (unity, love, compassion, peace).

We are already seeing glimpses of this, and will continue to see other developments, such as:

• New inventions, technologies, and discoveries that will serve to unite, awaken, and inspire us, bringing great healing to humanity and our planet in ways we’ve previously consigned to seemingly “far-fetched” sci-fi films
• Big progressions in medicine, education, business, global money exchange, governments, and other institutions. These will be reformed and upgraded to serve everyone, not just a select few who think they have been running the show this whole time.
• A movement away from belief in the old patriarchal structures to new ways of co-existing, allowing for a balance of the Divine Feminine and Divine Masculine energies in our co-creations

The shift in how human structures will work in the near future will create changes to such a degree that those structures will become unrecognizable.

They will be founded on principles of integrity and transparency, and be of benefit to all people.

This transition from a primitive to an awakened state of being may not necessarily look or feel the way we imagined it would.

But we are nevertheless most definitely moving forward in this direction, at warp speed!

The Mind’s Awakening

During times of awakening, the mind tends to get extra-reactive, because it wants to survive and protect itself from the changes it knows are soon to follow.

The mind resists change, because it sees change as something that’s requiring it to accept possible unseen risks. And to give up its own familiar patterns.

Yet change is something the mind can greatly benefit from.

It will be on board with the new developments once we let the mind know that it doesn’t have to give up all reassurances of safety, in order to embrace change.

How we are experiencing life right now depends solely on where we choose to place our focus and attention.

If we are focusing on surface energies (fear, lack, worry, survival) we’ll find ourselves creating an outer reality that mirrors this back to us tenfold.

When we choose to focus on the bigger picture by noticing what’s happening under the surface, that’s when deep and lasting healing can begin.

We have the opportunity to see many extremes now, both in our personal lives and on the global stage.

On a personal level, the highs may seem higher than ever one minute, then all of a sudden, we get triggered, and spiral into lows we thought we had overcome long ago.

Whatever shows up for you, be gentle with yourself and your mind and emotions, as they process through these times.

The same thing is happening on the global stage. The thing about this intensity, is that it’s a precursor to the big changes unfolding now.

What is being asked of us right now is simply to become Observers and Space Holders.

When we are able to step out of a reactive space, one where we’ve been triggered by our surroundings, and move into being an Observer, we begin to see every experience as simply feedback, letting us know what we do or do not resonate with.

Getting into Observer mode immediately lessens the emotional charge of whatever is causing our angst. From this space, when we do encounter extremes in our surroundings, it becomes much easier to remain centered and unbothered by it all.

As Observers, we empower ourselves to remain centered through all situations (even challenging ones), so that we can fine-tune our focus on what we do want to create more of.

Extreme situations no longer become as extreme when we watch as Observers, because we are no longer allowing ourselves to get caught up in them.

Whenever you find that the mind is getting caught up in the details and stories of life that feel challenging, here’s a simple technique that can help:

1. Pause for a moment, and take three deep, full breaths.
2. Close your eyes.
3. Imagine your inner self stepping out of your body, and see your outer self sitting there with your eyes closed.
4. Just observe yourself for 1 – 3 minutes.
5. Bring your awareness back into your body. Start by focusing on the bottoms of your feet, then move up the body to your palms, then your heart, then the top of your head.
6. Gently open your eyes.
7. Express gratitude to your Spirit self for reminding you to objectively “see” yourself.

This simple process immediately helps move us out of survival mode and into Conscious Creator mode.

You’ll probably even feel a release in the body and mind from any tension they were holding.

Doing this several times throughout the day will create space for deep healing, peace, and higher awareness to enter your experience.

The Universe is Here for You

Because many of us have been used to doing everything on our own, we may have some resistance to asking for help.

The Universe is always helping us, whether we realize it or not, no matter what.

It sends help in many ways through people, circumstances, messages, opportunities, feelings, and personal insights.

When we continue to place all the pressure solely upon ourselves to take care of everything and everyone around us, we block ourselves from receiving help and cosmic support that can benefit us greatly.

If you would like a bit more help from the Universe, make a request from a space of gratitude, so that your mind and heart are able to recognize, feel, and receive the support that is always available to you.

The Universe will always show up for you, as you begin to show up for yourself with compassion for what you are experiencing now.

May this next Awakening bring us closer together as One family, and usher in a new day where we are all open to receiving life’s most joyful and abundant blessings!

Until next time,

With gratitude,

Emmanuel
