From Mary:

I had a very contentious and difficult end to an eleven-year relationship. I discovered she had been having an affair for several months. We did not end our partnership in a friendly manner, to say the least. Over the years since then, the pain slowly, very slowly, subsided—mostly, but not completely. It was a great puzzlement. I couldn’t come to any feeling of resolution, try as I might; the hard feelings and anxiety of bumping into her remained.

One day one of my fellow Eloheim compatriots suggested that I call my ex and ask her out for lunch. Oh my god!!! Fear ran through me. No way! I’m not going to do that!! What if…. She will… I’m not doing that!

After sitting with the proposition for a while, I started to apply the tools. First, what an awesome creation! I created this opportunity. Then, fear is a choice not a mandate. My fear never made sense to me, anyway, so I thanked it for the information, decided to ignore it, and see what else was there, since everything teaches me something.

I didn’t really come up with anything but I felt I needed to make the call. You can’t have change without something changing, right? I have wanted a change in the way I had felt about this relationship but I wasn’t doing anything about it. I wasn’t doing anything differently. So, here was my awesome creation asking, “So you want change? How about this?”

I called her, she didn’t answer, I left a message. Now what? I felt better, now the shoe is on the other foot, but what if she doesn’t call back? What if she does? Where we will meet? Hey, keep the past and the future out of it! Quiet the hamster-wheel mind and stay in the moment. What is true now? I wanted and needed insight from my soul about this. I didn’t want to think about it. So I waited and I waited and I waited, keeping my intention on insight.

Finally—aha! It came to me. I felt like a victim!! Wow, I absolutely did not see that! I understand the concept of victim hood. I have recognized the opportunity to feel victimized in my current experiences but I hadn’t seen how I felt victimized in that relationship. What a relief to finally see my awesome creation in a new way. My soul must have been doing cartwheels of joy after wringing every last drop of learning from that experience.

But wait, there’s still more to learn here. I reported my “aha” to Eloheim in a meeting. I was excited about my brand-new shiny “aha.” Eloheim was supportive, of course, and then they lead me down the path to another “aha.” I could feel them holding the energetic of the moment, of my victim hood. Aha! I realized I felt like I was “right” in the relationship, I felt like my position was the righteous one. How embarrassing is that?!

Next, I asked for insight about feeling right. I have created many opportunities in my life to look at judgments. The “aha” I have gotten so far is that my feeling “right” is at the root of it. What an awesome creation! D’oh, of course! Judgments say this is right, that is wrong. How could I have missed that?!

When I look back and compare me to me, I get a feeling of accomplishment for my work of increasing my awareness, of being conscious. I see how far I have come on the path to ascension. And I can relax, knowing that I have tools that assist me in the journey to Homo spiritus. I love this journey and I love me! Taking the time to compare me to me gives me the option of gratitude rather than embarrassment. I get to take a little break and bask it the light before soldiering on to the next lesson. I earned it.

Thank you, Eloheim and The Council for all of the tools to live a conscious life with grace, ease, and bliss!!

Our channeling session of July 6, 2011 was very unusual. During the previous weeks’ meeting, The Warrior asked everyone to write down their three favorite tools and to bring them to our 7/6/2011 meeting. We gathered up the lists and everyone chose one randomly with Eloheim choosing for the folks tuning in online. We then went around the circle with each participant talking about the list of tools they had received.

It was fascinating to see what tools were included and to hear everyone’s comments about how they are using different tools. A number of tools were new to some of the folks attending and they were all great reminders.

If you would like me to choose three tools for you to work with, email eloheimchannel@yahoo.com.

The Guardians: Talked about how the experience of having the meeting room doors open gives everyone an opportunity to practice focusing while more stimulated. They tied this to the new “10 things” tool.

The Visionaries: “The upcoming tool review exercise is not intended to put you into a mental space. It does not require obsessive or habitual thinking. Remember to connect to insight, to ‘What is true now?’, and ‘How am I being in this moment?’ Let’s have an exercise as Homo spiritus. Allow the most truth of you to be present. Come at this from a very fresh place!”

Eloheim: Major tool review! Also spoke about shadow: If you feel shame about it, then you are generating shadow. It’s up to you to make a different relationship to shame and a different relationship to the act that generated the shame. YouTube video below.

The Girls: Talked about the “Oh, yeah! There’s a possibility for me!” expansion energy they felt as the group did the tool review. Be in “Oh, yeah!”

Fred: Checked into the group’s crown chakras which act as the portal between the body and the soul’s perspective. Declared that they are, “Looking good!”

The Warrior: Spoke of their fascination about which tools the group picked for the review. “One of the main reasons we wanted you to look at the tools is so that we could look at your energy field as you look at them.” They saw the tools move through the Heart/Power chakra combination offering the opportunity to discover, “How does this tell me about me and how does this allow me to move the truth of me into the world?”

Matriarch:“You are becoming grown-ups in the Homo spiritus sense. You bring such a sense of your authentic desire to emanate the truth of you into the way you experience the world – energetic authenticity.”

Audio from all five sessions held in July, 2011

Here is a new offering! Today is Tool Tuesday! Each Tuesday I will provide the complete description of one of Eloheim and The Council’s tools. Today we have “Candle wax (Nobody gets your wax)”

This tool is based in an analogy: You are a candle. You can share your flame—your emanation—but you cannot give away your wax. Never, never, never, never. If you give away your wax, you give away yourself, and who you are is diminished.

If you’re a candle, you can light numerous other candles with your flame, but nobody gets your wax. On some level, we see you energetically very drained because your wax has not been precious to you. That core amount of what you need to make you go. That core amount of attention, of rest, of nourishment, of peace, of quiet, of meditation, of walking, dancing, whatever it is that you know feeds you as a person and keeps you whole. You’ve been letting pieces of those things go to other people because you thought, “Well, if they’re happy, I’ll be happy.” Or, “If they’re happy, at least I won’t be so distracted by their needs.” When the truth is, you’ve gotten yourself drained and you’ll get further drained.

So, you can step back and set boundaries. And boundaries don’t mean: “I don’t love you anymore.” Boundaries mean: “I have to love myself first, so I have extra love to give. I can’t give from this place. I have to give from a whole place.” Because if you keep giving from weakness, eventually you have nothing left. But if you set boundaries, you rejuvenate yourself.

The first step is to set boundaries so that the people you’re giving your wax to don’t get any more. And they usually throw fits, so you have to deal with that. They’ll call you selfish, typically. Or they’ll call you a bitch.

Without being in service mentality, you’re offering something extraordinary. Because you’re not doing it for other people, you’re doing it for yourself and there’s just overflow. It’s the candle. The candle is lit and the flame is giving off light. It gives off light whether you hide it in a closet or you set it on your windowsill. And when you love yourself well, it’s like putting the candle on the windowsill and the people who are driving by see the light as well.

You can give your flame to anyone because it still burns even when you share it with others, but when you start giving your wax away it’s all over.
***

Veronica writes:
This was one of the early tools and it is still very much in use. It is so very easy to get pulled into “service” and siphon off your wax. I know what that feels like and I am not going back there! It is such a joy to focus on emanating my truth and knowing that that is all the “service” I need to do.

***
Habitual response of codependency felt seamless until I heard this tool. My sense of global responsibility burdened me in a way I thought was my identity as a “responsible person.” I felt guilty about not being able to help all women feel safe, for instance. Imagining myself as a being who has limited physical shape (the candle as my body) with unlimited consciousness and intention (the flame), I saw immediately that the love and attention I choose to offer a situation flows from a source that is constantly renewable. When I have used as much of my physical energy to support my intentions as I have available, I must rest without shame. Actually, to rest with relish, enjoying the dreams that replenish insights and creativity.
—Margy Henderson

***
The candle wax tool is very good for me as I have a tendency to go out of my way to help others, sometimes to great lengths. So, the idea of sharing my flame and not my wax made very good sense to me. It’s helping me to be crystal clear on when I may be stepping over the line and when I need to reel it back in.
—Joseph

I was feeling Eloheim so deeply when I wrote this! There is getting to be no difference between what insight I gain from my contact with E and what I get from the planets!

Cancer Solar Eclipse – July 1, 2011

I don’t know about you, but it’s all I can do to stay connected to thought and language in a way that allows me to write. Working with the body has been a distinct and fascinating challenge these last couple of weeks. Staying centered emotionally has been interesting to say the least. The forces of chaos have been strong during this eclipse season. Everyone has been feeling the erratic rocking of the boat – some of us more than others. But right about now we’re all a little queasy and ready to move into calm waters. That is not going to happen quite yet. The final partial Solar Eclipse of this season at 9 degrees, 12 minutes Cancer forms at 1:55 am on July 1, 2011. This is the first eclipse in the new Saros cycle 156 and will only be visible as a partial eclipse from as very small corner of southern Antarctica. The Saros cycle will repeat every 18 years and will complete on July 14, 3237. So we are at the start of something very new and very big.

The last two eclipses occurred close to the Moon’s Nodes, making them quite powerful. This one occurs in Cancer and so has moved away from the Nodes (Gemini and Sagittarius). And while it is not attached to the nodes, it does re- activate the Cardinal Grand Cross that was put in play last year at the Summer Solstice. This activation began last week as the Sun moved into opposition with Pluto at the same time squaring Uranus in Aries and Saturn in Libra. Today, the Moon will move into position between the Sun and the Earth, eclipsing (albeit, only partially) the Sun, placing herself in opposition to Pluto, God of the Underworld and in square aspect to Uranus, God of Chaos and Saturn aka Cronus, Father Time, and the Grim Reaper. This is a major new beginning.

The Cardinal signs are interested in action. This is the next level of last year’s initiation at the Summer Solstice. In the past year, as a result of that activation, we have witnessed revolutionary and evolutionary changes on a scale that has not been seen since the 1960’s, when Pluto and Uranus last joined forces. At that time, Saturn opposed both Pluto and Uranus. The players have shifted positions but they are all back on the field with in a few degrees of exact aspect. The political, social and creative ideals of the 1960’s have not been consummated. They have been co-opted and shuffled to the back of the queue. As we have seen this year, demands for freedom, reform and evolution will not be silenced. The people of Earth and the Earth herself clamor for justice and balance. These forces will not be denied. This Eclipse heralds a time of even greater awakening, reform and creativity than what was seen in the 60’s. We need only recognize it and step over the threshold into a new reality; or as Eckhart Tolle so aptly put it – A New Earth.

The Sun’s opposition to Pluto requires us to look at our fears, our shadow, and our relationship to power: personal, societal and universal. What stands between you and your desires? Fear, static and unnecessary baggage must be cleared in order to realize the unlimited possibilities available to us. You must do this. We can no longer turn to our “leaders” and expect them to “get us out of this mess” – or to hear words of wisdom or truths from “them” about how to proceed. They clearly cannot help us. We simply cannot depend on the other guy to be conscious for us! The stakes just keep getting higher. We must master our relationship to power at the very first and most basic personal level by taking responsibility for ourselves.

Conscious awareness created transformation. That’s all there is to it! We can accept that or we can ignore it. We can face our fears and embrace our shadow in the name of love or we can wait for someone else to do it for us. The Moon loves the Earth and is our constant companion and friend. If our brave little Moon can go toe to toe with the God of the Underworld, the God of Chaos and Father Time – don’t doubt that you can do it. The Moon after all, has no light of her own. She is a satellite. You are a radiant being. Surely you will be able to dispel your own darkness. Don’t be afraid. Now is the time.

Hello everyone! Today we have the third installment in my continuing Guest Author series. You can read the first two posts here and here.

Today Kate tells us about her journey with Eloheim and her favorite Eloheim tool: Why Is This Film In My Camera?

When I first came across Veronica Torres and her work with Eloheim and the Council, I knew right away that the information that was coming through her was what I was looking for. I had been on a spiritual path for many years and was familiar with “the talk” but at this point, I was looking for concrete tools to help me “walk the talk.” I wanted to take my spiritual “beliefs” and put them into action.

Eloheim is all about the tools so this was perfect! Each tool (and there’s a full tool box of them!) has been incredibly helpful to me, but the one I use every single day is Why is this film in my camera? Whenever there’s anything going on in my life that I don’t want to be there, it’s automatic now for me to ask myself, “Why is this film in my camera? or why am I creating this? What subconscious beliefs (or static as Eloheim calls it) am I holding on to, that are sabotaging me from creating the peaceful, drama free, abundant, healthy and absolutely fabulous life that I really want?”

I love this tool because it brings everything right back to me where I have control over my own beliefs and my own responses. Pointing fingers outwardly simply doesn’t bring me any satisfaction anymore. In fact, it feels like a complete waste of my time and energy now to indulge in the dramorama. It took awhile to move away from it and occasionally, where a belief is really firmly entrenched, I find myself back in the blame groove for a few seconds but very quickly now, I’m able to recognize what I’m doing and switch back to asking myself, “Why this film is in my camera?” It takes me out of victim mode and puts me firmly in the driver’s seat.

Working with Veronica, Eloheim and the Council for the past year and a half has been dramatically life changing for me I love being a part of the Wednesday meetings and more often than not, the topics for the evening are synchronistically, exactly what I myself have been dealing with that particular week. Through the weekly gatherings we’re encouraged to take the next step, and the next and the next and always with a “tool” to help us navigate our way. There’s a great combination of fun and laughter, as well as a sincerity and respect for the process. It’s down to earth, practical, hands on spirituality which suits me perfectly!

Thanks Kate! Why is this film in my camera? is a tool I haven’t thought of in awhile. Thanks for the reminder! That tool was the star of the show during the 10-20-10 meeting. Here are the Girls talking about it:

One of the ways to love and appreciate yourself well is that when you look out and you see the movie screen and you like what you see and it feels good and it’s conscious and it’s high-vibrational and supportive of growth and maybe it’s even fun … love yourself for having put that film in your damn camera. Hello? Do you hear what we’re saying? When the flowers on the side of the road are beautiful, love yourself for putting that film in your camera. Yes? OK? Remember, it can’t happen in your world unless it’s true in you. So you can appreciate yourself, appreciate yourself, for what you see in your world.

Hello everyone!
The meeting of June 29, 2011 was one of those meetings where the entire Council builds on the same subject – To live as your truth, you must acknowledge your truth, and then use conscious awareness to create the transformation you seek. We had a great time and had a large group of folks join us online. More details below:

On 6-28-2011 I was interviewed on the Channels’ Channel radio show. This interview focused on how I became a channel, what it’s like to channel, and my insights on how it helps my spiritual journey. Eloheim has a great message about service mentality toward the end. You can listen by clicking on this link.

The Guardians: Have the intention for attention! What happens if the non-distracted truth of you is in this moment? The completeness of you includes your internal acknowledgment of shadow or shame. Let the truth of you be true.

The Visionaries: Conscious awareness creates transformation it cannot do anything but! Bring the truth of you to every moment. Described what living as Homo spiritus is like. YouTube video below.

Eloheim: Revisited the 10 things, Checking things off the list, Short factual statements, and Circle of possibilities tools and spoke about alternate expressions (past/future lives). They also reminded us that ascension includes ascending all lifetimes and that ascension doesn’t mean “up” but means that your soul comes in. Re-languaged the word abundance. If thinking could have solved it, it would have solved it long ago because you sure have thought about it enough!

The Girls: If something pops up in more than one area of your life, work on those first; they aren’t the hardest thing, they are the just the loudest!

Fred: One year anniversary! Fred spoke about the lament, “I want to go home!” Reminded us that home is within. “You come home to the interior truth and validity of you.”

The Warrior: Spoke about The Council’s tools. Asked us to make a list of our three favorite tools and bring (or email) the list to next week’s meeting. If you would like to learn about The Council’s tools, please refer to our books The Choice for Consciousness and The Homo Spiritus Sessions. They said that this information would give The Council the opportunity to evaluate how the tools are being used so that they can help us more effectively.

Matriarch: Was fascinated by The Warrior’s changed role on the Council and hoped we would all participate in the “home work” assignment.

Sonoma is famous for many things, but my favorite part of living here is our 4th of July parade.

The parade will begin at 10am and is scheduled to included 100 floats, antique cars, groups, and nearly everything else you can imagine! The parade route is around the Historic Sonoma Plaza starting on First Street East. The final leg down First Street West is designated as the “wet zone.” You will see water balloons flying at the very end of the parade! There will be all sorts of events taking place in the Plaza after the parade. The fireworks will begin at dark.

Two years ago, I was in the parade with the band Ten Foot Tone. Here is video I shot of their performance. It gives you a good sense of the fun to be had on Monday.
