Looking For Myself

I recently saw this cartoon on the Buddhist Humor 2.0 Facebook Group, and I literally laughed out loud!  It resonates so much because it’s true.  While we may be wondering, “Where’s Waldo?,” we also have to keep in mind that he’s just another face in the crowd searching for himself … as we all are.

No matter how long I’ve been involved in the study of spiritual truths and no matter how much wisdom I may have ve absorbed, there’s always more to learn.  And the more I learn, the more I realize that it’s all about understanding who we truly are … and that has nothing to do with what we see in the mirror staring back at us!

The Council of Love defines wisdom as the “understanding of the Divine Plan,” “the unfoldment of each thing and being’s place within that Plan,” and “is the bedrock understanding that we are all One.” Ultimately, it “is the ability to comprehend the difference between believing, thinking, and knowing.” [1]  What we believe to be true about the world is nothing more than a mental construct we’ve created to frame it.  That is, what we see out there is a reflection of what we believe within ourselves and ABOUT ourselves.  This is the truth behind the Universal Law of As Within-So Without.  

And, more often than not, that internal mental construct and belief system is that we are separate from all others.  But, if we are all One, then that belief cannot be true!

The search for the Divine Plan is a journey that starts within ourselves, but it also ends within ourselves.  Every spiritual seeker who is searching for God in the external world ultimately finds that treasure within his/her own heart, at which point As Within-So Without/As Above-So Below becomes real.  If you want to change the world, then change your thoughts about the world, knowing that YOU ARE THE DIVINITY YOU ARE SEARCHING FOR!

[The Infinity Keys Workshop Series, starting on 29 Aug 2026, will focus heavily on this notion of being able to discern what we believe and think from what we know as immutable truth.  Please check out the website for the workshop series to learn more.]

St Germaine on Asking for What You Desire — Part 1 of 2

[In our most recent channeling session, my teammate and I both channeled St Germaine. The messages are related and are both useful, so I’ll be presenting both this week as Parts 1 and 2. I hope you agree that while each can stand alone, together they offer a more fulsome set of advice. Enjoy! — Rob]

Teammate: I think I would like to call for Saint Germaine, because I’ve been communicating with him, talking to him recently about the I Am Presence and other topics. So Saint Germaine, I’ve been listening to the Wayne Dyer mantra recently, which, of course, says that we are spirit, and we are part of Spirit, the One Spirit of God, and that we have access to the Great Mind of God, and nothing is impossible with a Great Mind of God.

So therefore we do not need to toil or work for something, because when you’re connected to the Great Mind of God, the answers that you need will be provided to you when you need them, where you need them, how you need them. So in essence, you can go through life feeling connected and feeling guided in your next adventure, in your next task, even the next decision, and I would like to be closer to that, live that model better.

Maybe, maybe I don’t have the trust, but I would like your guidance on how to get there, to live that way, to know and feel, not to worry about things, money or finances or health or whatever, because the Great Mind of God, whom I’m connected to, will provide that when it’s necessary.

So can you shed some light on that, please?

St Germaine: My child, this is Saint Germaine. You have called, and I’m here, as before and as always.

So you speak of this mantra, which, by the way, is of absolute truth. You are spirit. You are part of the Great Spirit of God, of the Divine, of the heavens, whatever you choose to call this realm. You are part.

And, as humans, you tend to, shall we say, get in your own way of this divine connection. Certainly, in your lifetime, there has not been, until now, a real understanding, at least for you and the people you associated with, of this connection. And so things, therefore, take work, must be hard, must be difficult.

In your society, particularly work ethic being very strong, you work for what you want. Things don’t come easy. Money doesn’t grow on trees. All the self-limiting mantras and belief systems that you humans have created to block us, to block this connection with the divine, to block this flow of the answers.

So Wayne Dyer, being a very gifted man, a very spiritual man, a very connected man, realized this, and that is why much of his teachings, his writings, his mantras, his videos, tapes, whatever, aim to explain this to the masses. Many are ready; many are not, and it’s okay. Each being, each soul, each person, has their own walk and their own time frame.

But you are spirit, my child. You are connected. You have but to ask, and it shall be given to you … with one caveat.

Yes, Jesus said in the Scriptures, “Ask and you shall receive. Knock and the door will be open to you.” However, my child, you must also believe this. If you believe — yes. “I knock, but the door is supposed to be open to me, but I don’t think it really will be. I think I still have to do a few things. Yes, ask and it will be given to you, but where is it?”, you say. You live in a world of instant gratification. You expect things instantly. “Where is it?”, you say, and so therefore comes in disbelief.

We talked last time, I think, I believe, about the germination time, the time of growth, the time the creation process takes before it manifests you. A lot of that time frame is dependent on your belief system, my child.

So if you can and are willing to remove the shackles of self-doubt, remove the shackles of a little bit of doubt, a little twinge of not sure quite if this is going to happen-ness. If you can remove that and believe with your heart, your soul, your knowing that you are a child of God, that you are connected to spirit, then, yes, the answers the financial needs, the health needs, the whatever needs that you ask for are there. The answer will be provided to you, my child, if you ask and you believe, and you take some action on your thoughts.

You have a tendency, my child — and I do not mean to be critical here, just factual — you have a tendency to hear spirit, to hear the direction, and then think, “Well, I don’t know about that. I mean, I don’t have the money to go that direction,” or “Maybe I shouldn’t do this or that.” If you feel the call, my child, ask and it shall be given to you. The means shall be open to you. The finances that you need for this or that venture will be available to you. The source will readily become available. You do not need to know it now, where it comes from. You need to, my child, KNOW that the answers are there and that they will be provided to you at the time they are needed.

So yes, you asked for how do I live my life being directed by spirit. I will ask for guidance in my day-to-day decisions, the little decision, the minute decisions, not necessarily just the big ones. Well, my child, it is to spend time, as you do now in front of your altar. Spend time listening, just meditating on the candles, on the images you have there, listening, heart-listening, open listening, [with a] willingness to hear what is being said to you. And the answers are there, and they will be given, and your walk will be as you choose it to be.

So go forth, my child, with this understanding. Go forth, and when you feel this hesitancy, this, “How can I possibly do this?” And then at the same time, “I don’t have the funds; I don’t have the resources,” believe, my child, that they are there and you will find them. Because when you ask and you believe and you trust, it will be given to you.

Now, I go now so that you can ponder these thoughts, but I am open ALWAYS to your communications. I listen to you. I accept your invitation and your offer to be your personal guide as you begin some new journeys. I am here, my child. I am listening, and I will help you provide the answers. Farewell for now.
