• Late Adolescence - Early Adult
• Mid-Late Adulthood

*~*~*~*~*

Birth, Infant and Toddler Stages

There is a longing that nags you off and on.  The restlessness and interrupted sleep only adds to the yearning.  There doesn't seem to be anyone close to you that truly understands what you're going through.  In fact, they've advise you to see a doctor.  No doubt you're going through the change.  Or you just need to get out more.  Or maybe try this new diet or that new diet.   You go to the doctor, they tell you there isn't anything physically wrong with you.  Or they tell you you just need to get more exercise and rest.  You go to a mental health specialist and they can't offer you any assistance that really rings true in your heart.  This is not to say these professionals aren't good at their jobs.*  No.  They're very good.  But they aren't getting it.  They're just not getting what's happening to you.  

Deep down you know it's more than hormones.  It's more than what's going around.  And  Yes, you're going through a change.  But not the kind modern medical science acknowledges.  You're not going crazy. You're not imagining any of it.    Get quiet, listen to your body.  Allow yourself to be guided by that inner knowing.    You're not alone.  Just remember that.  

When you are able to sleep you are bombarded by strange dreams.  Some of which look like a really bad science fiction movie.    It's okay!  You're not being haunted by ghosts or demons.  It's all part of the process.  There is so much you have taken in over the years.  The news reports, the every day experiences that leave you stressed and annoyed.  Your dreams are just a way for your mind to release and act out what it has taken in during your waking state.  Keep a journal.  Even if you can't remember the dream itself, write down the feelings the dream(s) left you with.  Don't forget to put the date down. It'll serve a purpose later on.

This is the birthing stage of your awakening process.   You will find your levels of discomfort shift from the subtle to extreme.  This of course adds to the now ever present irritation.  Remember to use whatever relaxation method that works for you on a daily basis.  The more relaxed you are...the quicker you can get through the various levels of the process.  

*~*~*~*~*~*

The Infant and Toddler stages of your awakening process gets intense as your awareness grows.   During this particular level of awakening, you will find yourself acting out in ways you never dreamed.  Testing boundaries like an enraged two year old, you becoming demanding one minute and then shirking away the next.  Jealousy and possessiveness rears it's ugly head when you least expect it.  You don't want to share what you have or what you know.   Deep down you know it isn't polite or loving or kind.  But something in you just doesn't care.  It's yours and yours alone.  Let "them" get theirs and leave you be.    Sound familiar?    It's okay really!  We all go through this at one point during our awakening.  It does get better!  You do calm down!  

 Things that never bothered you now irritate you and you don't understand why.  You keep wondering if people were always that stupid and inconsiderate.  Once, not too long ago, it didn't bother you.  You ignored it.  Just let it slide.  But now...now it really annoys you.   You can no longer tolerate the insanity that you are now consciously aware of.   It's okay.  Your awareness is expanding and the adjustment is a bit unsettling in the beginning.  It does get better.

You throw a temper tantrum over things that make no sense to anyone. Not even to you.  You stay on line hoping to find others like you.  Sometimes you luck out and find online groups who are like you.  But that too is short-lived.   So you find yourself spending a lot of alone time.  Use this alone time to get to know YOU.  Keep a journal of your feelings.  Remember to date the entries.  This will help you see how far you have come later on.  

If you feel the need to rant, write your rant out and email it to yourself.  Or start a blog!  My rants are legendary.  Not to mention, comical!  Most importantly, they show me how far I have come.   So again, keep those journals!  You'll be glad you did!

*~*~*~*

Keep In Mind ...

This is not a race of any kind!  You will reach maturity in your own divine timing!

Every single person is where they are suppose to be ... when they are suppose to be ... at the exact moment they are suppose to be -- Doing and acting as they are suppose to be!

Whatever stage you find yourself in always remember to be Kind to Your SELF!

Stages of The Awakening Process: Part 2

• Late Adolescence - Early Adult
• Mid-Late Adulthood

*~*~*~*~*

Conception & Gestation

It occurs when  you know  there is  more to life than what you see and experience in every day life.  It happens in that very moment you begin to question all you were taught and everything you once accepted as truth no longer feels right.  No longer feels true.    Try as you might, this  feeling doesn't go away.   In fact, the more you try to ignore it, push it aside, cover it up with various distractions, that feeling grows stronger. 

For those brought up in any kind of strict religious environment, this feeling can be most terrifying.  You find yourself caught between your loyalties to your beliefs and the ever growing feeling that propels you forward.    Out of love (and their own fears) those closest to you attempt to bring you back to your senses.   And despite and in spite of your own fears, you continue on.  Unsure of where it will all lead, unsure if in fact what you're feeling is real, you continue on.  Why?  Because something down deep says you must.  Though the fog of uncertainty is thick,  that  something deep down inside of you  prods you on.   It is a solitary nudge that develops into a twinkling of having to know what it is--whatever it may be prompts you to continue on despite, and yes in spite of,  all the fears that keep cropping up.

This is the conception of your spiritual awakening.

What happens next is very much like the beginning of a new life growing inside a mother's womb known as the gestation period.   During this time, the microscopic nucleus  now begins multiplying itself.    Your spiritual awakening is now Energetically growing from within, stretching your physical awareness to the brink of insanity.  The world around you, though familiar, takes on a strange new wonderful aliveness.  All around you is a curiosity.  Yet at the same time, you notice this odd detachment of old familiar places, things and yes, even people.  You begin to notice too that the people in your life are starting to avoid you and/or you them.    For some, their work no longer challenges them so they seek other employment, many times a job they've never considered before.  Conversations with  friends and  seem uninteresting to you now.  The little nudge that has been prodding you is now pushing you to seek out like minded individuals.  Prompting you to seek out that seemingly unattainable knowledge to feed an unquenchable thirst and satisfy your unending hunger.  

You start to notice a change in your physical body.  These changes come in many forms.  Food allergies is very common.  Nothing to worry about.  This is all part of the process.  Certain tones and volumes of particular sounds begin to bother you.  Nothing to be concerned about.  All part of the process!  

You will feel strong emotions one moment and in a flash you feel nothing at all.  Not to worry!  This too is all part of the process!

Whatever stage you find yourself in always remember to be Kind to Your SELF! 

Keep In Mind ...

This is not a race of any kind!  You will reach maturity in your own divine timing!

Every single person is where they are suppose to be ... when they are suppose to be ... at the exact moment they are suppose to be -- Doing and acting as they are suppose to be!

Stages of The Awakening Process: Part 1

 Your awakening process isn’t just about becoming consciously aware -- it's about growing up and maturing as well.    For many, this doesn’t always  go hand in hand.  

• There are those who believe that just being aware is enough.  It isn’t.    

• There are those who believe that if they repeat certain “catch phrases” this will magically and automatically turn them into a full grown and matured awaken individual.  It doesn’t.  

• There are those who believe that if they hold on to the ways and teachings of those that came before them … this too will make them more awake, more aware and make them  mature, complete and whole.  That is more than enough  It isn't.

These are only a small part of your spiritual maturity -- the first steps towards your spiritual growth, if you will. 

Your spiritual awakening is much like your physical growing process.  You have that moment of conception, followed by a  gestation period (for the most part nine months) followed by the birthing process.  From there you go from infant to toddler to young child to adolescent -- and as time passes you become an adult human experiencer.

    No part of this process can be skipped.

While a toddler  may immolate an adult … this still does not make him/her an adult … does it?  No, it does not.  Adolescents may think they are adults … and may very well behave and act in a more mature way than most adults … but the truth still remains … they are still adolescents!

 The stages of the Awakening parallels your human life during it's growing process in the exact same manner.   And like your human physical process … no steps can or will be skipped.

 Again, for emphasis -- keep in mind that your awakening process parallels your physical stages of life and all that goes along with it. 

• Conception
• Gestation
• Birth
• Infant - Toddler
• Young Child - Early Adolescence
• Late Adolescence - Early Adult
• Mid-Late Adulthood

In the following posts, we will be sharing information on the various stages of spiritually maturing.

Special Note

Please keep in mind that each stage of development is very important.  Though it may be frustrating for yourself and others, each stage must be worked through in order to gain the necessary foundation of your maturity.

You will find yourself annoyed by many whom you have out grown and as a result will find it necessary to cut them out of your life at some point of your awakening.

This is all part of the process.

For those of you who find yourself on the receiving end of being let go, don't take it personally.   Those who let you go have matured faster. This doesn't mean there is anything wrong with you.   It simply means you are going at your own individual pace.   There is nothing wrong with that.  There is nothing wrong with you.  Everyone goes at their own pace.


Keep In Mind ...

This is not a race of any kind!  You will reach maturity in your own divine timing!

Every single person is where they are suppose to be ... when they are suppose to be ... at the exact moment they are suppose to be -- Doing and acting as they are suppose to be!

Universal P.M.S.

Ladies and Gentlemen!

WELCOME TO UNIVERSAL PMS!

Universal PMS:

-Confusion, Mood Swings, Paranoia, Impatience
-Emotional and mental confusion
-Sudden waves of emotion
-A sense of impending-ness
-Impatience

With all that is going on with us and around us, it isn't any wonder that so many people are walking around dazed, confused, tempers flaring, emotional outbursts of every kind for any reason and/or season. And have you noticed that patience is sorely lacking these days? More so than ever before?!!

And then there is this overwhelming sense of something is about to happen ... an impending-ness ... if you will. And though you are never quite sure what it is exactly that IT is coming ... you just know it is! So much so ... that at times ... it borders on paranoia! Of course, that is when you take it upon yourself to anticipate "it" ... whatever "it" is ... and it's every move.

You go around snapping at people, all the while they are staring at you with this deer caught in headlights look .... we're yelling at them for something usually so insignificant like having "that look" on their face or in their eyes ... which probably was just them going into shock by all the screeching, slamming doors and throwing things!

You throw a temper tantrum over someone not closing the door or picking up a gallon of ice cream that you failed to ask them to pick up on their way home or something else really minor; and then you get cranky when someone hasn't read your mind or anticipated YOUR every move and cater to your needs at that given time! All of which (and more) has you coming across like you are some escapee from the local mental hospital.

Okay, perhaps they did look like they were thinking things they shouldn't! And yes, maybe, just maybe they could have closed that door. And no doubt they could have at least called before leaving work or on their way home to ask if you needed anything! At least that is YOUR reasoning and justification of the events!

Then there is having to wait when we aren't really in the mood! Long lines, traffic lights, traffic jams, being put on hold, having to listen to your significant other, neighbor, kids, co-worker, yammer on and on and on about something that really has no bearing on anything important to you at that given moment ... and no doubt in your present state of mind ... never will.

You probably find yourself thinking all sorts of horrid things you could do to them as they continue with their endless chattering ... all the while mustering the strength not to actually carry your fantasies through!

It is like having PMS 24/7 isn't it?

Ladies ... the GOOD NEWS is ... Men are experiencing this as well!

Yes Gentlemen! You now have some measure of understanding of what we women go through most of our adult lives.

But why are these emotional ups and downs occurring?

In order to rid ourselves of the issues we keep hanging on to ... we must undergo the work of bringing them to the forefront, rooting them out and releasing them once and for all.

To achieve Emotional & Mental Balance ...

In order to gain understanding ...

And actually live in unconditional love ...

We must undergo the actual experience.

And to get the emotional and mental balance that leads to
understanding that leads to living in unconditional love we must:

(1) Work through what it is truly bothering us;

Now to do this ... means we have to take the time to really STOP! and THINK!

I do realize for many this could prove burdensome. However, while you are sitting there "thinking" that you have no time to actually stop & think ... you may want to consider the numerous repeats of situations that will most assuredly come along if you don't STOP & THINK things through! Don't just over-react because it is convenient or less work! Stop! Think! And allow the real reason to show itself.

And stop worrying about what the "other" person said and/or did! Or what they didn't say or didn't do! It will only serve to throw you off-balance. And this is what we are wanting to avoid!

(2) Release the old programming of how we act and react; 

This means we have to actually accept responsibility for our actions, act upon our knowledge and with sheer determination, kick those old ways of thoughts, words and deeds to the curb for good!

For the people in your life ... Feel free to suggest, point out or insist that they take responsibility for themselves ... whoever "they" may be ... but just keep in mind that chances are ... they won't or can't at that given moment!

In releasing the old programming ... we would do well minding our own business and keep our focus on SELF and just let the other person do the same!

Ever notice how much energy we spend on others? And we wonder why our emotions run out of control?

RELEASE! If you can't change it ... Let it Go!

(3) Acceptance & Allowance

This is the fun part! (and Yes, I know I am repeating things here). To gain a measure of emotional and mental balance, you must come into the acceptance that there are just some things you cannot change and/or control! So do yourself yet another HUGE favor ... get over it! You're not THAT powerful to force any changes on someone else!

In order to gain a level of understanding of the why's and how's you must Allow situations and/or people to flow naturally along their given paths.

You must Accept the fact that your are not in control of what other people do, how they think, react and/or act! Not YOUR Job! And it is certainly isn't any of YOUR business! So Accept it! Allow It! And get over it!

If you don't like what is being said and/or done ... and you have done all you know to bring about a change ... and it, she/he hasn't changed ... then Accept it, he/she for what it and/or he/she is! And simply Allow it to be!

Accept your decision to stay or to go. Allow it to be!

Accept THEIR decision to stay or to go. To be! Or Not To be!

Allow it just to ... BE!

(4) Bring about the true nature of who and what we truly are ... Spirit beings having a Human Experience.

Yep! You be a spirit being locked down in this human body. And no ... it's not a punishment! YOU Chose to come in here! So work it baby!

Just Do IT!

This is all boils down putting into practice (1), (2) & (3) above.

Again, for Emphasis!

Balance is what is needed . Understanding is what we must have. If we are balanced emotionally & mentally ... our body & spirit follow suit.

With Balance we come into a better understanding which in turns makes us better equipped to express empathy for others and through this we learn how to appropriately take action in thought, word and deed.

As we go through this time and time again until we eventually get the hang of it ... we discover what it means to truly live with Unconditional Love for others ... and for ourselves!

We cannot do this until we have literally walked the walk and talked the talk. And in this case my brothers & sisters, that means we all experience that little thing I endearingly call .... 

Universal PMS!

The Emotional & Mental Aspects of the Ascension Process ... Your Spiritual Awakening

When the world of imagination has become all too real and the world around us has become blurred ... we find ourselves lost & confused.

When we have become obsessed over material things to the point we believe ourselves not happy unless we have millions of dollars to spend and all the luxuries that it can buy ... 

If we are obsessed over someone in our lives to the point they are all we can think about, and soon we find ourselves living for that moment when we will next see or hear from them ... 

When we become addicted to food, drugs, alcohol, sex, gambling, etc. We find ourselves totally out of control ... with seemingly no way out ... 

When we are any or all of the above .. we are imbalanced emotionally & mentally. 

Emotional & Mental well being is a vital part of spiritual growth. 

To Grow Spiritually simply means to obtain and maintain Balance ... in ALL aspects of our human lives!

The Ascension and How it Affects Your Emotional & Mental Health

In this issue, we will discuss how your awakening spiritually affects your emotional and mental body. 

As always ... we urge you to ... 

CONSULT WITH A TRUSTED EMOTIONAL/MENTAL HEALTH

 PROFESSIONAL FIRST!

Do Not assume that the depression you are experiencing is only a symptom of the Ascension Process! Clinical depression is a serious matter and should NEVER be taken lightly! 

While it very well may be that you are undergoing the ascension process, it is always important to get checked out by a medical professional. That way, you will have all your bases covered and you can move forward with the knowing that you are well on your way to becoming fully awakened spiritually.

Because of the ever constant changes our physical bodies are undergoing ... it isn't any wonder that our state of mind is out of sync and our emotions are seemingly out of our control!

We find ourselves more sensitive to everything. This hyper-sensitivity causes us to be happy & centered one moment ... crying or screaming the next. There is always something going on in our lives! There is someone always managing to set us off emotionally!

Our mental faculties seem to have abandoned us as well! We have no problem remembering what Joe or Maizy did 10 years ago ... but we can't seem to recall why we went in the other room 10 minutes ago!

We find ourselves distracted and not remembering why or what it was that distracted us in the first place. Yet we can recall the hateful attitude of someone at the store and bitch about that all day!

We have this sense of something about to happen. Yet we cannot sense why we got so upset over a sock on the floor!

The Awakening Process

 Your awakening process isn’t just about becoming consciously aware -- it's about growing up and maturing as well.    For many, this doesn’t always  go hand in hand.

Final Thoughts on 2013

Everybody is feeling it.   But unlike years past, 2014 has everyone literally buzzing and filled to the brim with excitement as we anxiously prepare for the new year.  Many of us are feeling an uncharacteristic expectation of something BIG is coming.  

Not only that.  In the  last few months of 2013 many have been experiencing intense dreams, waking up at 2 a.m. and 3 a.m.,  feeling anxious and heart racing like they just finished a marathon.

What is it that we all collectively are feeling these last hours of 2013? 

Could it be that we are collectively fed up with how things have been going in our lives?  Could it be that we finally are getting it?  Could it be that we are finally letting go and allowing it to happen?

Could be!

If you read my two previous blogs entitled Pondering 2013 (Part 1 & Part  2), you already know that I've begun my process of "letting go and allowing" a few weeks ago.

But as I sit here and watch the news feed on my Face Book, I see I am not the only one finally releasing ALL the people, situations, and other similar freeze dried bullshit from their lives early in the game.


And can't help but notice numerous Face Folk posting about the waking up at 2 and 3 in the morning; complaining of the odd dreams, the anxiety, the restlessness, etc.    Naturally, we all know these are all part of the Awakening process or the Ascension process as some call it.  

I am going to take this opportunity to say to all of you who are new to the experience and those who are less familiar with the process 

WELCOME to my End of the Universe! 

We've Been Expecting You!

To Help you all out, I've listed some links to articles I've written/posted here on my blogs.  Be sure you read ALL the way down to the very end!

*~*~*~*~*~*

Honestly, I think I've said All I need to say with regards to what's on my so-called mind!  At least for now here in 2013!  

Oh I do have two last things to add.  

My motto going in 2014 is: 

The Freeze Dried Bullshit that Happened in 2013 STAYS in 2013!

To bring that message home I've adopted a theme song for 2014.  Click HERE


*LOLOLOL*

I don't know about all of you, but for me 2014 is going to be ANYTHING BUT the 

As promised!  Here are links to my articles that pertain to this process.    Feel free to print them out, share them with friends and family!

Selling Out or Just Marketing? Epilogue

While I am all for generating a nice income that maintains a nice comfortable financially secured life-style, I draw the line when it comes to just putting crap  out there all to make a fast buck.   

Let's face it. Some people are just out right sell outs.  Greedy little sell outs.

But there are some people who are sell outs and don't even know it.  

And then again,  there are those  people who are sellouts, but they just don't give a rat's ass.  And they're always ready to defend their slimy sell out ways with artful and skillful spin doctoring.

Me and Tracci (Shy Owl) were talking about this very topic  the other night. She remarked that the difference between well meaning people and actual sell outs is their intention.  And she's absolutely right!  Your genuine and sincere Intention, and I will add here--your goals, makes all the difference between being an asset and being an ass!

So which one are you?  How the hell can you tell if you are?  Well that all depends.  What is your reason for reaching the masses?  Be honest with your self.   Trust me.  The true reason will show itself sooner or later.  It always does!

Is your intention to help others?  Is it really?  Or is your intention is to sell as many books,  obtain as many "warm bodies" on your Social Networks and/or get as many listeners/viewers as you can?  Be honest with YOUR self!      Remember... sooner or later, the truth of your intentions will come out to play!  It always does!

*~*~*~*~*~*

Because there is so much information I wish to impart, I will be breaking this topic up in several parts.    

I hope you'll join me over the next several weeks as we journey into the subject of Selling Out or Just Marketing.  Oh and feel free to Chime in!  I really enjoy feedback.  Just keep it honest...and clean!  

Until Then...

Smile!  It makes people wonder what you're up to!

Your Spiritual Awakening/Ascension/Transition: PERSONAL NOTE FROM JULIA

RULE OF THUMB:   You don't call an electrician when you need your busted pipes fixed!  And you don't go to a psychic reader when you have a medical and/or mental, emotional health issue.  You also don't go to a psychic reader for legal advice either.  Major no-no's!

*~*~*~*

First of all, I am not a medical professional nor do I claim to be.    I do not nor have I nor will I ever provide a medical diagnosis.  The only thing medical I will ever say to you is ... 

SEE AN ACTUAL DOCTOR!  ASK YOUR DOCTOR!  

Or...

you Might wanna CHECK WITH YOUR DOCTOR!

Along with the above-mentioned advice, I will always add...TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR-SELF!  Or something along that line.  

*~*~*~*~*~*

Unless they are a trained and licensed medical professional, Any psychic reader,  spiritual healer and/or practitioner who gives you medical advice should be reported to the proper authorities IMMEDIATELY!

*~*~*

I cannot stress enough the importance of taking responsibility for YOUR Self!  Nor can I urge you enough or strongly enough to seek FIRST a trusted medical and/or mental health professional before seeking and/or putting into practice any type of holistic ritual.




If you have actual medical maladies, go to an ACTUAL DOCTOR!  And yes, I realize it is costly, as well as time consuming,  but get several different opinions if necessary; and as needed!  

Do all you know to do by conventional means before heading out to psychic reader-medium, channeler,  sooth sayer, holistic practitioner, Reiki healer, etc.

Any legitimate healer, psychic or otherwise, will tell you exactly what I am telling you here and now.  If they aren't advising you to seek conventional methods first...then RUN, not walk, but RUN to the nearest exit!    If anyone is claiming you don't need a doctor, that they can heal you through some spirit or such.  RUN to the nearest exit, call the authorities!  Stay clear of these frauds!

If they claim you have a curse and that is why you're sick, suffering from this, that or the other thing.   And for a nice amount of money, they can get rid of the curse and heal you of whatever illness that said curse caused.

RUN to the nearest exit! 

 Call the authorities!  

DO NOT DELAY!


~*~*~*~

While I am a firm believer that we can heal ourselves, I am also under the belief  that once it is manifested physically, it takes more than "thinking positively" to remove that energy.   

Keep in mind too,  Energy Healers only assist your natural abilities to heal.  They DO NOT Heal YOU!    And the assistance they provide is only providing a temporary relief.     

While there are those who might actually assist you in removing it altogether...the odds of you being 100% cured of any physical manifestation while still holding on to the same beliefs are extraordinarily high.   We're talking nil to none!

The only way you can remove the energies that has created and manifested physical ailments is TAKING RESPONSIBILITY for YOUR Self!  And you this by learning to work through the beliefs that got you into the physical manifestations of dis-ease  in the first damn place!   And too,  it may actually entail going to a conventional doctor and using conventional methods in addition and/or in connection with your spiritual healing.   

Whatever methods you use, taking Responsibility for YOUR Self is  priority  ONE for   EVERYONE!  Including any healer.   And anyone desiring to be healed!

*~*~*~*~*

 It has taken generations, many life times, to get where we are now.  Both in mind and spirit.  So it goes without saying that it may take a good long while--even a  few life times--before we finally give up the bullshit of hurting ourselves and each other.

*~*~*~*~*

I've been consciously going through the Ascension process for too many years to even count, and the one all encompassing truth I have gleaned from those years is our Awakening  ALL boils down to...

Taking Responsibility for Your SELF

THIS is the Number 1 part of Your Spiritual Awakening/Ascension/Transitional process.

The sooner you accept, acknowledge and embrace this fact--the easier your transition will be!

Take it from someone who's been there (many times)!  Did that (many, many times)!  And has actually moved on a bit!  (a wee bit! *LOL*)

Embrace ALL That You Are!
For YOU are ALL That There Is!
