The truth is, no one comes from here. Each of us entered the Earth from somewhere else, and there was a time when you weren’t embodied. Where did you come from? Your soul, your consciousness entered your human body from the higher dimensions, commonly called Heaven. That part most of us know.

What many people don’t know is that each of us leaves a part of ourselves on the other side (the wisest, most aware part, darnit! LOL) and that part is still there while we experience life on Earth. We leave it there because the Earth energies are lower and slower, and it’s like a safety net, a lifeline to our true Divine nature. Many refer to this self as the Higher Self ; Eckhardt Tolle refers to this self in his books “The Power of Now” and “A New Earth” as “The Observer” or “The Witness.”

Our goal as humans at this special time in our evolution is to allow that part on the other side to first come closer to us and guide us; then work together with us more specifically, like a team; and finally to merge with us. That means in a sense that “Home“, our true Home, comes to us. It means that our Divinity can safely become embodied within us now because the energies of the Earth have become higher, lighter, closer to the energies of Home, because of all the inner work and reconnection to Spirit that many of us have been involved in over the past many years. This is unprecedented in the history of humanity, and is the essence of the hoopla surrounding “2012.” Many indigenous cultures have passed down the teaching that the end of the year 2012 is the end of a great cycle of evolution and the beginning of a Golden Age of Enlightenment. This resonates deep within my heart, and I see daily examples of the shift already taking place all over the world as people open their hearts and minds to love and the Spirit within.

So how do you align with this Higher Self? I will share my ideas and my own personal experience as it happened over time.

First, you acknowledge that this you exists.

Next, you invite this Higher Self to guide and assist you (and, hey, maybe even follow some of their suggestions! LOL)

Finally, you invite this Higher Self to merge with you.

I experienced the guidance and assistance part for many years but did not experience what I felt was a merge until I used the word “surrender.” I did not actually say I would surrender to my Higher Self, because I wasn’t sure what it would entail or how my life would change because of it. (Too much of a Leo I guess, always wanting to be in control…LOL) Instead I said I would surrender to L-O-V-E because that seemed very safe to me, and really, it’s the same thing anyway. By the way, this surrender happened around the time my Dad passed away, in 1999…the experience really broke my heart wide open and I felt I needed this sort of re-connection at the time. More on my Dad in a bit…

What happened next is I felt like my big sister was always with me, to my left, and it was like we were experiencing and viewing life together, side-by-side…from there it began to feel like sometimes she (still someone else) was looking out of my eyes with me, like the “better, wiser me” was really inside me, making a short visit…and then finally I merged with “her” when I realized and owned the fact that we are actually the same being.

(Note: I would say that Higher Selves are not gender-based, but the tendency would be to perceive it as your same physical gender.)

Now, the human me still has what Eckhardt Tolle calls the “pain body” or “egoic mind” which is also still here inside me and it takes the stage sometimes (which gives me lots of new material to blog about :-) ), but the Higher me is always here inside me too, and that’s how I find my way back to my center when I lose my way.

Back to my Dad, and what our relationship has to do with this story…I tell my clients and students that he makes Heaven real to me…we became closer in the last ten years of his life when we began to share a lot of spiritual information together, and now that he’s on the other side I still feel his presence and I still feel him loving me from “there” while I’m “here.” Please know that love is a bridge between the dimensions. I wish everyone could know this, because it makes the loss of people we love so much easier to bear. One thing I learned is that when I’m thinking about my Dad, reminiscing and feeling love for him, and then suddenly my heart fills to overflow, I finally realized it’s actually him, loving me back. I’ll bet many of you have had the same experience, but maybe didn’t realize what it was. The overwhelming love that fills your heart at that time is the beautiful full-circle-of-love, because when love is shared with someone on the other side, it is returned…

So where did you come from? Home. Where are you going? Home. But not in the old way of going Home. We don’t have to leave the planet to access our true Home, because Home is now coming to us. The old saying, “Home is Where the Heart Is“, has never been more true!
