Higher Self, Sam-u-el, on Trust (Surrender and Allow)

by Rob Loveland, posted in Channeling, spiritual guidance, spiritual info

[As Jennifer said in the intro of her last post, three of us all channeled our Higher Selves on the topic of Trust, which comes to is as a package of Trust-Surrender-Allow. This is my offering from that session. We’ll post the third teammate’s view later in the week. We hope you enjoy the series of multiple perspectives. — Rob]

Rob: I’m requesting to meet with my Higher Self, Sam-u-el, who appears something like the AI-generated image to the left.

Okay Sam-u-el, I was inspired this morning with the word “trust,” and of course, we’ve had a conversation about “trust, surrender, and allow,” so I trust that you have something to say about this. Over to you.

Sam-u-el: Hello, Rob. Hello, all. It seems odd, does it not, to meet in this way? We are always in communication. We are always having a conversation. This morning, when you asked for what topic would be appropriate for today, I suggested one. You heard it, so we’re communicating just fine! But I understand this is perhaps for a broader audience…

[Regarding] your question of trust, that goes immediately to an understanding that there is a Divine Plan, that YOU have a Divine Plan, that you are part of a much bigger plan. So fundamentally, trust is simply your acknowledgement of that, that you are aware that there is such a plan, even if you’re unaware of what the details of that might be. You are trusting that there is such a plan. You are trusting that you have a role within that.

You also drew the card on the Universal Law of Change, and within that it says that, yes, you understand that there is a plan for you, but it is sequenced and sequential. There are a series of events that must unfold for the fulfillment of that plan. Again, you may not understand what all those steps are, what those events may be. The trick is, as you all have rightly pointed out, is to not attempt to control that.

You have heard before in previous sessions that it is very difficult for humans to not attempt to control events, to allow them to just unfold. I would argue that those who have said that were being polite, and in reality, it is nigh unto impossible for humans to understand the fullness of the Divine Plan. So attempting to control that is pretty close to futile.

You often say, as a group, to trust, surrender, and allow. And as we just rightly pointed out a little while ago, [those actions] are so sequential. Trust comes first, that there is a plan. Surrender your sense of control, your need to control. Surrender yourself to the plan, even if you do not understand what steps are involved. How events must unfold, surrender yourself to that. Just let it go.

And finally, allow. Allow the universe to bring to you those events that are appropriate for the unfoldment of that plan FOR YOU, within your realm. That may not be the same for everyone. You are all individuals. You are all sovereign beings. You each have your own role within the grander Divine Plan. Just allow that to unfold.

It is a tricky thing for humans to let go of, to release so much. You live your life in the realm of physical, feeling the need to control everything … and rightfully so. There’s so much in your world that can bite you, that can harm you, so you learn from a very early age to control events, so that you stay safe. But in reality, there is no danger. That is all a perception that you have from the perspective of the physical existence. But that’s not your real existence. That’s not your real life. These are all just experiences that you are choosing to have.

So viewed from that perspective, there should be nothing fearful about letting go. In fact, it can be joyful. What will the universe bring me next? What wonderment, what wonderful things that I may have never experienced before come my way in the next period before me? It can be a lot of fun from that perspective!

The world may seem chaotic … READ MORE …

(Higher Self) Sam-u-el on Interacting With Energy (and Manifesting) in the Physical

by Rob Loveland, posted in Channeling, spiritual guidance, spiritual info

Rob: Sam-u-el, as you know, I’ve been trying to find a way, a technique, a thought process, anything, that would help me physically move something with my mind. I’ve asked several times for different suggestions, so do you have any guidance to share?

Sam-u-el: Greetings again, Rob. Yes, you have asked about this several times, which is fine. There’s no issue here. It is understandable. What you are seeking to do is not intuitively obvious of how one does this. In general, you know the process. But I would stress up front, it really is about belief, setting aside 100% ALL doubts. ANY sense that this may not work or that you’re not able to is going to manifest just that.

This requires a complete commitment on your part to believe without doubt that you are one with whatever object it is that you are focusing on. We have given you the guidance before that it is not a visualization problem, but more so related to your focus. And I would suggest that focus is really about the belief.

You keep searching for how to do it, a particular technique that will work. It is not unlike learning to channel. It is simply finding a way that is comfortable to you, that makes sense to your mind. Your breakthrough in channeling came from simply inviting whoever it is that you are choosing to channel to come sit with you, to just have a conversation, to be that familiar that you could just sit down and have a conversation, irrespective of who it is that you are choosing to channel.

So as an analogy, the same can be said for interacting with some other, seemingly physical object. You understand everything that you see is simply energy. It is simply finding a way that makes your mind comfortable that the energy within you is no different than the energy within the object, and therefore you are one.

This isn’t a trick. It is simply reality. It is the truth. You are all one. All within the creation of God is one energy.

So it is coming to the complete understanding and ACCEPTANCE of that fact, and then visualizing what it is that you hope to happen. If it’s spinning a piece of paper, then visualize that, but KNOW that that WILL happen, that it has already happened. And feel the excitement, the elation, the gratitude that will come with the success of seeing that piece of paper move.

We understand this is a small step, and that’s reasonable. The bigger question that you’re asking, and using this piece of paper as a means to show you that, is, how do you feel at one with all that you see. The answer is no different. So yes, it is perfectly valid to start with the piece of paper, to teach yourself the reality of the oneness of all energy.

Higher Self Sam-u-el on Sacred Purpose and Feeling Content

by Rob Loveland, posted in Channeling, spiritual guidance, spiritual info

Rob: Since this is going to be on Sacred Purpose, it makes sense to me that I should channel my Higher Self. This seems like a topic for Sam-u-el.

Sam-u-el: Hello again, Rob. Hello, all. I understand that when it comes to topics like Sacred Purpose, you feel that I’m particularly suited for that, since I AM you, and that makes sense. But of course, I’m able to speak on any particular topic that you have. It does not matter.

But we are here today, and I am happy to have this conversation. And I understand that when thinking about Sacred Purpose, what you are looking for is reassurance, a deeper understanding as to whether YOU are actually achieving your Sacred Purpose, your mission in this life. Of course, you know the answer to that. You ARE achieving what you set out to do.

For you, in particular, Rob, you find yourself in this place of increasing contentment, that no matter what is happening in the world, no matter how chaotic it seems, and as you were explaining before how much more chaotic it’s going to become, you are feeling particularly content with where you are, happy that all is transpiring according to plan. And I don’t mean just your plan for this particular life, but for the unfoldment for all of humanity on Earth at this time. This is why you came.

The events that were long foretold are happening. It’s all coming to fruition. This is why you chose to come, for this time, and it is happening. And you have learned, through all of your experiences, what your attitude should be for this. As you said earlier, do you believe in the Mother’s plan or don’t you?

You are finding that, yes, indeed, the Mother has a plan, and that plan is based in nothing but love. It could not be otherwise.

So no matter how chaotic it seems, hold to that thought, that everything that is transpiring is ultimately based in love. If you cannot see that at the moment, at the time that it is happening, fall back on that understanding: it is all based in love. It is all for a purpose. You may not be able to see it, but that’s okay. It doesn’t require you to fully understand it with your conscious mind. All is unfolding exactly as it should.

New Discoveries: Timelines

by Jennifer, posted in Channeling, spiritual info
art by Jennifer

Jennifer:  Babylon. Babble On!  I’m curious about the word “timelines,” some of the different things that it could mean, how it’s changing now from what it was, say, 10 years ago. How it’s going to change?  I’m just waiting to see who… So,  I’m going to channel my own Whole Self. 

This in interesting because my husband was walking across the ceiling, the floor upstairs, going from right to left, and I am sitting here talking to you guys and going across [this way, front to back]. And that was like an illustration of timelines intersecting. 

My Whole Self: Yes, my love, we will begin. You are getting glimpses of this, inklings of this, snips and threads of this. It is that we do not experience time in the way that you do.  So. If you wish to play with time, you do so for a limited period. It’ll be a snip or a snap, or it’ll be a long continuous road pathway that will last a very long time. They vary greatly in length. They can be initiated at any time. They can join up with others. They can diverge. They can renew themselves, rebirth themselves. They can come to a finite end, which is infinite. So it can either rebirth or it can stay in a stopping point . 

You are beginning to glimpse the fluidity of what is to come and the ways that you will begin to experience life. It will be very much all around you. It will be very much from your point of choice. So, just as now, you are meeting with your friends on Zoom, this is an intersecting of a timeline which you have created. And you have created this timeline. It has been going for several years, and it goes and then it takes a pause, and then it goes again. And it takes a pause and it goes again. So this is an illustration of one kind of timeline. 

There are other timelines where you sit at your computer and you have a different meeting, and that is an intersecting through your device of a different timeline, but they can communicate with one another through you, through your presence in that timeline. 

There are also infinite choices of pathways which you choose to take, some of them short and some of them long. Some of them last for years. Some of them will last the rest of your life, and some of them are merely for a few moments.  You chase after a butterfly on a beautiful green slope of grass and moss and and then it is gone. And you go about your day.  So you see you are skipping timelines. You are skipping between them in a beautiful dancing pattern. None of them are exclusive. There are others which can intersect that energy which you have left behind, if you have moved on.  Someone else may come across that butterfly. 

You see, it is that you are used to thinking of time as finite, and you are used to thinking of lines as stable, rigid and going from past to future, one common human timeline. You use this as a device to understand your past and your future, to understand your stories, to place them in context and in sequence. However, that is not how life is actually lived. That is a human construct. 

As you know, it is actually much more fluid. Think about mapping an ocean, a part of an ocean. And this little creature swims this way, and this one swims this way, and this one comes down for a little while and soaks and goes up again and leaves. And this same space is traversed in many ways by many forms of life, many forms of expression. 

And you can take the same event, which you create over and over again, such as when you have a Zoom meeting and you do your channeling together. You are taking the same thread and you are creating a new construction with it. You see so lines are not necessarily straight. They can be wavy, or they can be entwined and entangled in a beautiful way, sometimes in a frustrating way. 

When you repeat an experience and you say, “Oh, here goes that energy again. I really can’t stand it when that happens.” Or, “Oh, no, we’re having an argument about the same old thing,” that would be more of a negative entanglement, but nevertheless, you have subconsciously drawn it to you by your thoughts and your desires and your beliefs. 

So your I Am Presence, which [one of your team mates] so beautifully discussed earlier with St. Germaine, your I Am Presence is choosing each moment.  As another one says, “moment by moment by moment”, where to play in space and time, because you still perceive in space and time.  For us, it is much more fluid and it fluctuates, it fluctuates and it flows and it moves and it disperses. 

You will become used to the more fluid expression of it. But for now, think of it a little bit like ribbons, of all different colors and textures, all filling a room, stitched together in different ways, bending back on themselves and meeting another color, tied up here with this one, and then flowing over to that other corner and meeting another one. 

And it is as though each of you have, you are, a timeline, in the sense that, as you experience life you create a trail. You create a trail ahead of yourself, of your desire. You create a trail behind yourself, of your experience. But you see, these are all much more multiple than you experience it in your [everyday life]…well, the way that you grew up thinking about your experience. 

You’re now beginning to expand on this, and it’s very exciting for us to experience it with you, within you, from inside you. Congratulations for all your new discoveries and all your new understandings, and we are most excited for you. 

Thank you for this opportunity to play as your own Whole- much loved and very loving -Self. Farewell for now.

Higher Self Sam-u-el on Accepting Ourselves as Divine

by Rob Loveland, posted in Channeling, spiritual guidance, spiritual info

[This is something of a follow-up to last week’s posting.  😉 — Rob]

Rob: I’ve been playing with this idea, based on a channeling I recently read, about this whole idea of knowing what future to [choose] or what actions to take, what decisions to make, at any given moment — this whole idea of only the eternal Now exists, that’s still kind of hard to wrap your head around. So any guidance that you have there I would greatly appreciate.

Sam-u-el: Hello again, Rob, and hello again, all! Yes, this whole idea of the eternal Now, it’s rather difficult to wrap your head around coming from a perspective of being in the realm of time. Intellectually, you get the whole point that there is no time. Time is a concept that is a mental construct, useful for your life in physicality as a teaching tool. That is its primary function — the idea of karma, the laws of cause and effect. You do one thing, you make one decision, that has an effect, and that presents itself to you serially, first one then the other. There’s no greater teaching tool.

But as you’ve progressed to the point of being on the threshold of Ascension, it essentially means that you are done with the whole notion of time and the need for these karmic lessons. You have learned what you need to learn.

So now we come to a time where you start accepting yourself as the divine being that you really are. And you are wrapping your head around, “What does it mean that there is no time?” There is only the Now. The more you put yourself into the perspective of the Divine Being outside this realm of time, the more you will see what it is, what time is, what its purpose is, and how you are so much bigger than that.

Regarding your questions about, how do you know what decisions to make at any given moment? I think you have all talked through that. You know the answer. Your teammate’s guide laid it out very well. It is all about how you feel. For any choice that you are faced with, no matter how small or seemingly how small, it is how you feel.

If you are guided by your heart, and allow yourself to be guided by your heart, then there is no such thing as a wrong decision. They are all useful, all experiences, for at the end of the day, that’s all these choices are. It’s a choice of what it is that you want to experience, and all experiences are learning opportunities … again, no matter how seemingly insignificant. Make no mistake, all experiences are learning opportunities.

Higher Self Sam-u-el Offering Encouragement to Lightworkers

by Rob Loveland, posted in Channeling, spiritual guidance, spiritual info

Rob: I’m just looking around my circle of guides, and they’re all just kind of smiling at me. So I guess with that, we’re going to go with Sam-u-el, my Higher Self.

Sam-u-el: Greetings, Rob. Greetings, all. You’ve been getting direct indications lately that, yes, this is the time of new beginnings. Everything seems to be unfolding so much quicker now. By everything, I mean that which is ordained by the Divine Plan and, of course, your part in it. All of you have parts of that plan in its unfoldment, and your role within that unfoldment.

Previous messages are correct — isn’t it wonderful to be in that state of just allowing, just being in the flow, the flow of love; that is all it is. How could there be anything fearful in that? No matter what comes up in the future, no matter where that river, the flow of that river, takes you, it is of love. So all of it is an never-ending flow of wonderfulness! Just drift along peacefully and allow it to unfold.

And you are finding that this is a time of increasing creativity, and you are questioning to yourself, “Is this just a wave? Is this just simply a period of time where [we] are feeling particularly creative, and then it will subside and [we] go back to whatever [our] concept of normal was?” I would suggest, no. Being in the flow of love is being in a state of never-ending creativity.

And it was said before, and I will repeat, we applaud you for recognizing the inspirations that are coming to you and acting on those, writing them down and fleshing them out and opening yourself to the increased messages of how that should unfold, what the possibilities of that idea could be.

You have much to do in the future as a so-called lightworker, and yet at the same time, you have nothing to do. Just be, and all that you came to do will happen in its own time, unfolding exactly as it should, as it must.

So yes, the changes will happen far more dramatically as time goes on, and you will know your role within that, to be that steadying force for others, to be that lighthouse, exactly as you’ve professed yourself to be. This is not a mistake. The Mother has chosen wisely.

Higher Self, Sam-u-el, on New Beginnings

by Rob Loveland, posted in channeled guidance, Channeling, spiritual guidance

[I channeled this just after getting the news that there was a high likelihood that my part-time employment with the Federal Government would come to an end, ultimately as a result of the government-wide down-sizing.  All my spiritual tools and teammates were advising me that this is simply an opportunity for new beginnings, so I asked my Higher Self for guidance on that.  And then, on Tuesday of this past week, I was informed that Thursday would be my last day … after more than 40 years of service.  It’s now done, but it’s all good! — Rob]

Rob: okay, Sam-u-el, what do you have to say about new beginnings?

Sam-u-el: Welcome again, Rob. Yes, this is Sam-u-el, yourself.

Before I address your question, I just want to say that you should really take a moment and consider the fact that given the news that you’ve received this week, how much different you are receiving this, what might seem to be bad news, in an entirely different light than you would perhaps a year ago. Think of the progress that you’ve made, in that this is just another happening, just something else to experience, to live through.

You’re not upset by it. You’re adjusting your thinking accordingly. This is something to be proud of, the progress you’ve made.

Now to your question of the whole idea of upcoming in the future the new beginnings. It is a time of new beginnings. Yes, through this transition —and as you well know, you are not through the point of full transition, but it has certainly begun — but you are now considering what happens on the other end, what happens for you, what happens for your relationship with all others.

This IS a time of new beginnings, and yet at the same time, I would also point out that irrespective of what’s happening in the external world, outside of yourself, every day is a day of new beginnings, if you simply allow yourself to experience it that way. But yes, given where we are in the history of humanity, this is a momentous time, with lots and lots of new beginnings, new opportunities, and you may participate in those as much as you feel comfortable.

It’s just a time of — as the card said — socializing, meeting new friends, establishing new relationships, as you potentially (at this point) transition away from one aspect of your life, i.e. what you have known for much of your life as your relationships with the people at work. Some of those will continue. Again, it’s as much as you choose to hold on to those relationships, to nurture them and allow them to continue on. And we encourage you to do so.

So view this as a time of excitement. Anything is possible at this point. And based on where you all are, i.e. all of humanity, this is a time for creation, for creating the new. It will soon be upon you, [i.e.] the time to decide that the way society has run up to this point is not what you want for the future.

So now is the time to create the new — yes, using the Creation Formula. Think about what it is that you want, how you want society to behave, to interact with you, each of you individually, and yet all of you, collectively. What is your vision?

Higher Self Samuel on Reconnecting With My Passion

by Rob Loveland, posted in Channeling, spiritual guidance, spiritual info

[I was feeling a bit discouraged about the low turn-out for one of my recent teaching events, so I channeled my Higher Self, Samuel, on how I could regain my passion for such offerings. — Rob]

Rob: Okay, Samuel, perhaps you can talk to me a bit about what I’ve got to do to reconnect with the passion of why I’m doing all of this. How can I get to a point of not allowing external events to affect me? How how do I regain that passion?

Samuel: Well, hello again, Rob. Here we are in our usual place, and I’ve teased you before that you tend to only come to me when you have some problem. Why can’t we just visit and have some fun?!

But of course, you know, I’m always here — always here with you. I am you. You are me. So let’s see if we can’t sort this out.

Not wanting to be one of those who answers a question with a question, but I have to ask, why are you doing this? Why are you here? Why do you choose to be a teacher, choose to be a coach, choose to be on the spiritual path, as you call it?

Rob: Well, fundamentally, it’s because I want to help people.

Samuel: Exactly. So if your motivation is that you just want to help people, does it matter how many people that is? Is it less significant if it’s one person?

I’m sure all of your teammates will tell you that you’ve helped them in one way or another, at one time or another. Does that scratch your itch regarding what your motivation is to help people? If you’ve helped any, should that not be enough?

Everyone is here on this planet, ultimately, for the same reason. There’s a divine plan at work. Humanity is transitioning to a whole other level. You are here to help that along. If you only help one person, one other soul, is that not enough? Have you not fulfilled what you came here to do?

You’re starting to wrap your head around, or at least grapple with, this whole notion of seeking external validation, that is validation from something outside of yourself. Why?! If your motivation is to help people, then YOU are the judge of whether you are doing that or not.

The difficulty that all humans face is that you JUST DON’T FULLY KNOW what impact you are having. Humans want to know; they want to know all the details. It’s not necessary … but this is where faith comes in.

If you approach any situation, any interaction, any class, any webinar, any one-on-one session, from the perspective that you are simply there to be of assistance, then be content with that alone. It doesn’t matter what the outcome is that you SEE, for you don’t see all that is happening as a result of those interactions. Go into the situation reminding yourself why you are doing this, and be content with yourself for having helped, [or] at least having tried. That should be enough. Anything else is simply YOU seeking opportunities to beat yourself up over nothing.

So I would suggest that you make it a habit — and yes, to “make it a habit” means practicing it routinely — to remind yourself through the day, “Why am I here? Why did I volunteer to come do this?” If being a teacher and a coach or just a help-meet to anyone that you encounter over any situation (even if it is simply passing somebody in the grocery store), if you approach it from the perspective of, “I’m just going to be helpful,” and you are content with doing only that, then how can every day not be a success?

This may seem like a simplified view of the world, a suggestion that is perhaps too simple. I’m suggesting to you to try this for a while and see how your mood changes. In the spirit of keeping it simple, I will leave it there.

Of course, we can always have these conversations and continue to have a conversation about this as additional thoughts occur to you, more questions, but for the moment, perhaps one of your teammates would choose to help. Do either of you have questions?
