The Newly Awakened
There are many aspects to your spiritual awakening. Each step is design to expand your awareness and improve upon your memories of who and what you truly are.
You are not a human striving to have a spiritual experience. Quite the contrary! You are a spirit being having a physical experience.
You can always tell the newly awakened. They are stumbling around, confused and very unsure of themselves. During this stage they latch on to whatever makes them feel more secure. This is a natural process. After all, you've only just begun and you have to hold on to something until you get your bearings. Nothing to be ashamed of. It is all part of your growth.
The first stages is very much like a baby who is just learning to walk. So grab hold of something and keep going!
Many of the newly awakened latch on to the notion they are not from this planet. Some believe they are E.Ts or Angels. It is true we have off-world friends that visit this earth; some of whom actually reside here on earth, those beings we have come to know as Angels visit regularly, as well as many from other planets. All have taken a keen interest in this spectacle we call life here on Earth. Many of these actually serve to protect and guide us. But the bottom line is this, if you are living here on Earth, you are a human, an earthling, a Terran. The feelings and/or memories of being not of this world is only a memory of your time spent on other worlds, time spent on the Other Side. Granted, you may have come in contact with entities of those worlds while here on Earth. This no doubt has confirmed your belief you are one of them. And you were ... once upon a time. But now, you are here on Earth. You came through the same way all Earthlings did. And that makes you what again? Anyone? Anyone?
So what is the reasoning behind this belief of being an E.T or an Angel? The reason so many latch on to this notion is they need to feel they have purpose. In order to feel that sense of purpose, many believe in this idea of being an extraterrestrial that has come here to save the planet and the human race. That is a very noble purpose! But here's the thing. This planet nor the human race requires saving. Yea! That's right! Contrary to popular belief, this world nor its inhabitants needs saving!
As a newly awakened individual, you won't be able to understand or comprehend that right now. And that's okay! You're just starting out and you're too focused on not being human at the moment. That's all part of getting your bearings. As I mentioned above, you have to have something to hold on to until you get strong enough to move on to the next phase of your awakening. So take your time. Enjoy the adventure of remembering!
Believing you are an extraterrestrial or a hybrid doesn't make you wrong. It doesn't make you crazy! What it does make you is ... newly awakened! Your consciousness is still cloudy, but you are starting to remember all those wonderful things from your past. And yes, those memories are a bit jumbled! But in time, the pieces will all start to pull together eventually. The wonderful aspect of this step is that you do remember on some level you are not from this physical world. What you haven't processed yet is that you are not from any other physical worlds either. It will take time and a great deal of work to get it all sorted out. And you will!
When you wake up from a good night's sleep (or a nap), you find that your mind is a bit cloudy and your body isn't quite ready to move. There may even be residuals from a dream you were having that causes you to be confused as to where you are, when you are, etc. We've all been there! And we all eventually make it on to the next step! This is how it is for those who are just now "waking up" on a conscious level.
What you are feeling right now is natural. So take your time, be kind to yourself. And don't forget to give yourself a big pat on the back! You understand deep down you are not from this world. That part of your true self has revealed itself to you and you accepted it! That is something to be very proud of! Soon, you will come into the full understanding that you are not a human (or any other physical life form) striving for a spiritual experience. In time you will know (not just believe, but know) that you are a wondrous eternal spirit striving (and in some instances struggling) to have a physical experience. Be it on Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Lyria or any multitude of planets out there in the vast Universes.
Welcome weary traveler! We who have awakened before you bid you welcome! We urge you to be kind and patient with your self as you continue your journey here on planet Earth! Know that you are never alone. You have myriads of helpers both here on the physical plane and the spirit plane! We all collectively rejoice in your first steps towards a wondrous adventure!
Embrace all that you are!
For You are All that there is!

Queer Eye Love Project
Netflix reboot of Queer Eye for the Straight Guy has everybody watching in tears. Tears of Joy! If you haven't watched it yet -- I'm going to pass on a word of advice -- something Netflix didn't bother passing along to me or the millions of others who fist partook --make damn sure you have a full box of hankies next to you! Seriously! Netflix should have a some kind of warning before each episode! Hankie Alert! Only watch if you have a box of Kleenex! Or something along those lines!
I never watched the original. Oh I knew about it, one of my sons (who is gay) watched it religiously. I was neither interested nor really had the time. Being a single working mother left me little energy or interest during those days. I was, however, over the top pleased that my gay son had something to watch that he could relate to and learn from.
Now before I go any further, and for those of you who don't know me, I am one of these people who don't give a rat's ass if you're gay, straight, black, white, yellow or green. Male or female. Fat, skinny or somewhere in between. You are what you are and I accept you as is. And if you're any of those before mentioned individuals who suddenly find yourself presented with a show that reflects your beliefs, life style whatever ... I am happy for you. But that's as far as it goes for me personally. You see, I never comprehended the HUGE deal over being gay, black, brown, female or whatever anyways. Still don't! All I see is PEOPLE! People with various likes and dislikes shapes, forms, sizes, colors. So it was (and still is) difficult for me to wrap my head around what a deal it was, is and continues to be. It's like flowers. You got all these different colors of flowers. They're still flowers no matter what color they are. People - flowers - same diff to me! You are what you are and that makes for a gorgeous garden!
Anyways .... moving along here ...
So when Queer Eye reboot hit Netflix I thought well there ain't nothing else on might as well give it a shot! I wasn't prepared for the impact it would have on me. I later found out on the QE Face Book page that I wasn't the only one. And this got me to thinking about the original. So I hunted down free full episodes on line and watched them. Yes, the originals lived up to their TV show moniker The Fab Five, but they just didn't quite pluck the old heartstrings like their present day counter-parts. What was different? What was it that set these guys apart? And then it dawned on me!
The Epiphany
The new Fab Five is the confirmation of all that hard work for acceptance, compassion, empathy and understanding of those different from ourselves is finally paying off! It is reassurance that we haven't been spinning our wheels! It is happening, unfolding and working!
All those of like mind, as a whole, have been confirmed and affirmed that these attributes are alive and well! The human race actually has a chance for redemption. All is not lost as some would believe! Yessssss QUEEN!
Those of us watching these five fabulous A.F. young men, see the fruit of our collective energies working through them, manifesting and expanding. We know this in our hearts. Our tears of joy is our soul's applause for a job well done!
These beautiful souls, these magnificent beings of light are living proof of that!
I now understand that the original Fab Five were the awesome heralds of what was coming! They were the torch bearers of a brilliant light that opened the way. (Little did any of us know how bright that light would become!) We all will be forever grateful to them.
Who would have thought that five Queens could bring out so much in one Empress?!!
I know it all goes much deeper than what I have shared with you here. But this Empress will leave that for another time! At least for the time being.
My heart overflows with so much love and gratitude for these young men! The world and my life is so much richer knowing they are here working that love thang. And I thank ALL who had a hand in bringing them into our lives!
To Tan, Karamo, Antoni, Bobby and Jonathan ...
THANK YOU!
