In the Void no thing appears. The energies are not yet present for any purpose. All is neutral without charge: sans light, sans design, sans creational thought or pattern.

In the moment of intention, the spark of creational energies begins. And in that spark- the ignition of masculine and feminine aspects take root. The expansion and contraction begins. Movement, growth, direction- all determined by the thoughts and alignment with other creational forces surrounding the newly patterned existence.

In the ever-evolving Universe, all such creation blends and folds upon itself, in unison with infinite force fields. Insofar as you are capable of creation through purpose of thought, manifesting any desired outcome calls for this alignment with other causations in life.

Just as the garden seed cannot exist in a vacuum, so neither can what you desire exist in an environment that lacks the necessary elements to grow and develop. The soft petaled rose cannot flower amidst a barren dessert. The cactus blossom, however, flourishes in such surroundings. Thus, the balance of creation and environment a necessary co-dependency.

As science reveals, every action propels a re-action. Therefore be mindful of your desires- the thoughts which naturally emanate outward as creational sparks in your life field and beyond.

Carefully choose your outcome as the void has no such intention on its own. It is the blank tablet upon which the results are written in the moment of creation; the blueprint yields the outcome.

Align with the Heart’s goodness and unconditional love. Fuel your thoughts with right action and guidance to the fulfill your desires.

Draw upon the blank canvas with the awareness of your creational power as the life force, cultivator and harvester of dreams come true. And know that each day dawns a new tablet upon which to write or rewrite your life’s desires- evermore.

All such creation appears out of the void ~ the Zero Point. What you add or leave out determines what you will yield. What you create out of balance or imbalance will reveal itself in like manner. You decide. You choose.

And from Zero Point begin anew.

Our prayers always get answered. 
Not always in the way we want, but always in the way we need. 
Sometimes the answer is no when we ask. 
We may not be in alignment with what we desire. 
And yet, at other times we embody the right vibration to receive insights, confirmation and support from the Higher Realms.

In response to my personal prayer to be shown what is ready to be revealed for the Highest Good of All, I experienced lucid dreams, in rapid succession. In early dawn I awoke with a deeper awareness of how our intentions alter our reality.  Now I already know this is true. And you probably do, as well. What we perceive and what we act upon ultimately is what we create. And yet moments happen in the thick of trial and trying circumstance in life when we forget about how powerful our thoughts are; our minds can run amuck as our emotions reel from experience.

Dreams are enlightening visions to help us understand life on a deeper level. And dreams can help us get back on track– remembering who we are and embracing ourselves as powerful creators. In answer to my recent prayer for guidance, profound dreams revealed confirmation of how to change our reality. 

One dream revealed absolute and total chaos. A crowd gone mad-pushing and shoving on glass doors trying to escape some unknown calamity. The pressured glass reaching the breaking point. Then, in an instant, seeing the situation through a lens of calm and peace changed everything. Holding those positive thoughts amidst the negativity of the threatening crowd and then watching the energies penetrate, the madness dissipate; suddenly everyone relaxing and exiting the doors as calmly as moviegoers leaving the theatre feeling satisfied and uplifted.  Disaster disappeared. Peace prevailed.

Following fast in another dream, fear flowed through my veins as I a dark force pursued me. Its sole purpose was destruction and death. Terrified, I hid high up in a rafter, silenced into stillness lest I be detected and devoured. Then, in a brief moment of shifting my attention away from stifling fear, a breath of Light illumined my being.  Hope entered my heart and mind. Instantly- just as in the dream before- everything changed. My dark pursuer vanished. Relieved and grateful beyond words,  I descended from my hiding place, knowing danger had disappeared and a new realty created. Hope is so important, if we are to fully understand that even the darkest of hours can shift into Light.

The Angels, Ascended Masters, and so many other amazing Beings within Councils of Light have served as wonderful guides and guardians for many years.  Jeshua, Mother Mary, St. Germaine, Archangels Michael and Metatron and countless others impart loving and powerful energies to support and uplift us. And the Councils always impart teachings that reveal tangible ways to affect positive change in ourselves and in our world. Connecting with them in prayer, meditation, and simply through our thoughts can result in profound awareness and cosmic interaction on a soul level. My dreams were came as a heavenly response from Melchizedek, and I am humbled and grateful.

There is a lot more to explore in the bridge between realms of reality. One thing is for sure… we have the ability to shift how events happen in our lives. We can change tracks and create a different scenario; new possibilities can erase previous probabilities. And with the veil of illusion ever thinning, we are certain to learn more and more about our creative powers and ability to shift what we may feel is imminent into something better and far greater and than we imagined.

Sweet Dreams, Dear Ones… Linda Backes

A Radiant Light for Body, Mind & Spirit

We all know the slogan, ‘When the going gets tough, the tough get going.” Wouldn’t life be wonderful if that was always the case? What about those times of intense hardship… when taking the next breath requires extreme effort and our heart feels as though it is breaking? What happens when our tough exterior- carefully crafted to deflect pain- is torn away and we are totally thrown off our center into despair and darkness? 

I write of my own personal experience of darkness and feeling of helplessness. Devastating circumstances emerged in which I had absolutely no control– no opportunity to reach out or rectify; my only recourse to accept the horrible news from the merciless media. Calls from distraught family members and shocked friends pierced my peaceful surroundings. My loving world– filled with unfaltering faith, inner strength, and absolute knowing of the Divine perfection of life, fell out from under me. 

I searched desparately for the Light amidst the pervading darkness. For the countless times I supported others through their personal tragedies and hours of darkness, the tables had turned. The Universe came crashing down upon me. I stood face to face in my own reflection, having to walk my own talk. But how– I cried– when the burden felt too heavy to bear? My shoulders caved under the weight of despair, and a dense fog rendered me feeling lost, uncertain. Tears fell for days and nights invaded with fretful dreams and unrest, revealed in dark circles under swollen eyes. My senses numbed; my soul longing. I knew better, my mind would battle. And the internal war played havoc.

When our strength is drained from what feels like devastating circumstance, I know that even the strongest of us can feel shaken and overwhelmed. And, thankfully, it is in these difficult times that our true friends show up and lift what feels too encumbering for us to let go alone. Thankfully, we reap what we sow– and the Universe really does return to us what we selflessly give to others. 

Light workers and spiritual sisters and brothers appeared from everywhere– sending prayers, eliciting others to join them, and invoking uplifting energies of unconditional love to dispel the Darkness. With this amazing support, I was finally able to hear my inner guidance, urging me to– stop, relax, retreat. And, for the first time in days I was able to sit in meditation to simply ‘be.’ Pure and simple. I allowed time and space for the healing energies to flow inward. I opened my heart to receive.

Later, drawing a bath and creating sacred space in which to immerse and release deep distress. I called in every Ascended Master, Angel and Light Being I knew, and I declared aloud that I was handing over EVERYTHING to Spirit. I opened my heart and asked Jesus to take the physical, emotional, and mental burden from me, as it was too vast and too overwhelming to hold any longer. I surrendered. Fully, intentionally, I ‘let go and let God.’ My council countless times to others. And in an instant, everything shifted.

In my heartfelt surrender, I was lifted up. The tears ceased. The burden disappeared. And I personally experienced the miracle of surrender, foretold in myriad sacred teachings throughout eons of time. I remembered the poem about Jesus carrying us when we see only two footprints in the sand. And I allowed myself the blessing of such full surrender. Totally.  Completely. 

Another slogan comes to mind. What doesn’t kill us makes us stronger. And, sure enough… I AM.

When I end a presentation my closing is always, ‘May the Light illumine your path, the Darkness be your teacher and your Heart a loving Guide on Life’s Journey.’ And I now offer this for those times when the going gets rough, ‘Fully Surrender,’ when Life’s challenges are too heavy to bear.’

The miracle that a mother-to-be feels in her womb is one of the most blessed of all awareness in knowing that life is unfolding within. The excitement of becoming a mother is overwhelming at times, with all of the questions of how to raise a child and the fears that instinctively surface to keep our young safe and secure. It is when we are in the position of raising another that we truly begin to understand what our own mothers endured. Compassion is born out of our realization that motherhood is a journey into untold joys and inevitable sorrows that naturally evolve as our lives unfold on a planet we endearingly call Mother Earth.

Celebrating Mother’s Day is imbedded with traditions of crayon signed cards and imprints of little fingers forever immortalized in clay paper plate treasures. We hold a banner in our hearts for our mother’s love and support, given without question whether we deserved it or not. And the endless toil of molding young psyches and the caring of countless needs a of growing child– oftentimes taken for granted. The only roadmap a mother has to rely on is the indelible impression laid down from her own mother, grandmothers, and perhaps sisters and aunties– a sisterhood forming the maternal portrait of generations. Perfect and imperfect imprints of raising, nurturing, and living.

When little ones take their first steps, moms hold their breath in anticipation– making sure the inevitable falls are followed by getting back up continuing on our way. It’s a pattern that continues from toddler to adult. The endless cheer of mothers.  If only we could spare our children from terrible mistakes and hardships. Yet, we know that is an important process; an integral part of growing up. Mothers, however, are the way showers and protectors; the encouraging as well as critical voice urging young ones to keep moving, focusing on the positive, and discovering personal talents and profound soul purpose.

Endless joys and countless sacrifices come with the territory of motherhood. Losing sleep, putting others first is a trademark that widens the giving chamber of the heart and naturally diminishes the receiving side.  We give out of an eternal wellspring of love, and somehow we become used to coming last- after our kids are taken care of and tucked safely into bed. We often put our own dreams aside in favor of the budding possibilities of our offspring. And when our children achieve, we beam with pride as they take center stage; when they stumble or fail we selflessly take it personally– looking within ourselves for what we might have done better. It is not fair or logical to take on the blame for a child’s mistakes, but so easy to do in the wellspring of a mother’s heart.

Mother’s Day can be a day of mixed emotions- the longing of the time when we were comforted by our own mother’s embrace and uncanny ability to know what was troubling us without a word exchanged. For those who lose their mothers far too young, a sense of feeling cheated surfaces, not being able to share the expansion of the family in the birth and raising of grandchildren. When our mothers pass on, the holiday is bittersweet. Frailties and faults forgotten and forgiven– with loving memories forever sketched in longing remembrance.

No matter what our experience on this special holiday, we are reminded of the place of honor motherhood is held in our heart’s celebration. And mothers everywhere are cherished for their part in the joys and sorrows of life; the creation and nurturing of what is most precious.

The portal to all universes is through the Heart.
The gateway to all beginnings is through desire, 
     whether in conscious awareness or subconscious calling forth                                                            
     that which the soul longs to experience.

Your very Being came through the Heart of Creator;
      an expression of the One. 
Everything in existence, such an expression.

Within the Earthly realm many associations of the Heart do exist-
     in loving, emoting, caring, nurturing, longing, empathizing… 
     infinite varieties of desire.
And the expression of the Heart plays out through music and art, dance and play; 
      creation, relationship, communion. 
Thus, the Self experiences the many facets of Life through the desire and direction of the Heart.

In silence, the Heart is heard… resounding.
In stillness the pulse is felt reverberating.
The ebb and flow of the lifestream within the body, forming a circuitry of energy              
     responding to perception and emotion; linked, coalesced, and bonded to the soul. 
Etched in the blueprint of life.

Finding your way back to Source– 
     to remember your unique spark in the Heart of the Divine– 
     is to awaken to the joy and bliss of Being!

Your Heart is the guide to such an awakening… 
Loving the unlovable,
Extending compassion for the unthinkable,
Embracing the untouchable,
Dreaming beyond all limitation,
Understanding the unfathomable…

The unconditional love of the Heart dissolves all paradoxes and extends beyond all barriers.
This is the Crowning Glory of Creation!
The Gateway to Infinity… beyond beyond.
