The Role of Beliefs in our Lives

hand_raised

Question: You previously shared that it's important, as part of our emergence from spiritual adolescence to spiritual adulthood, to separate limiting historical beliefs from enlivening truth. How do you feel concepts or information become beliefs? Answer: We are exposed to data in the form of information and ideas. We take in the information and concepts, digest and assimilate them and then adopt the data as fact. These facts become beliefs. And more often than not, our beliefs take up … [Read more...]

Question: Do you feel that there is a force operating in the world that is negative or oppositional to our spiritual development, and if so, how does that force interfere with our ability to create the reality we want? Answer: The current paradigm is aligned with a historical force that opposes freedom and the beckoning new paradigm aligns with a force that promotes freedom.

Spiritual Q & A

Landau

Question: Do you feel that it's important, particularly at this point in the paradigm shift, to regularly gather in groups with whom we feel a resonance? Answer: Absolutely. The phenomenon of group strength is well known. At this point in the paradigm shift it requires a great deal of energy to continue moving forward in a spiritual evolutionary process. Even with the waves of consciousness expansion and awakenings, particularly over the past two decades, my experience is that there is still a … [Read more...]

Spiritual Q & A

Question: I've heard spiritual teachers and facilitators promote a practice for those on a path of spiritual growth and development that involves us realizing that we are "in the world, but not of it." I would appreciate more clarity on these concepts. Answer: Because the cycle during which our divinity was denied and our spiritual adulthood forestalled is ending, it is vital that we remain committed to not only occupying a perspective, but also behaving in a way that exemplifies that we are in … [Read more...]

Sixth of a seven-part series In this installment of the seven-part series, I will offer suggestions about how to dismantle the matrix and live a life of self-sovereignty, spiritual freedom and glory, and in part seven I will offer my interpretive insights and impressions about the theories, prophecies and predictions associated with 12/21/2012.

Emotions: Energy in Motion

landau

QUESTION:  What part do emotions play in our spiritual development? ANSWER: At the heart of this paradigm shift is spiritual adulthood and freedom. There are four passkeys to crossing the spiritual adulthood threshold: personal authenticity, self-examination, separating belief from truth, and integration. E-motions are the centerpiece of these two passkeys. However, many of us are afraid, ashamed and anxious about the exploration, acknowledgment and expression of certain e-motions. Most of … [Read more...]

Spiritual Hunger – Part 5

landau

Fifth of a seven-part series In this installment of the seven-part series, we will examine our inherent divinity, the existence of various concepts of creation and sacred text distortions, and the identity and agenda of the creators and keepers of the matrix-like reality prevalent on Earth at this time. Our examination in this installment is by no means an attempt to tackle the vast and somewhat unwieldy library of knowledge on these topics, as that would not only serve to enslave us to an … [Read more...]

Question: There are a lot of prophecies being explored and discussed in different spiritual circles, particularly as 2012 approaches. Are prophecies more or less certain to occur? Answer: The time to consider prophecy is most certainly at hand. However, just as there are distortions of truth currently being perpetuated in many secular and spiritual belief systems, these distortions can most certainly be found in various prophetic texts. Indeed, some of the texts that prophesise catastrophes, … [Read more...]

Part six will contain suggestions about how to dismantle the matrix and live a life of self-sovereignty, spiritual freedom and glory. In part seven I … [Read more...]

Question: What exactly is a paradigm shift? Mariangela's Answer: Paradigm shifts are characterized by leaps in understanding and expansions in consciousness, whereby profound evolutionary changes take place. My use of the term "paradigm" is synonymous with an established way of being according to traditional standards, patterns or precedents that one follows. Paradigm shifts have occurred in civilizations like Pangaea, Lemuria, Atlantis, Sumeria, Egypt, the Indus Valley, Peru, Chaco Canyon, … [Read more...]

Spiritual Hunger: Part 3

Third of a seven-part series In installment three of this seven-part series, as a way of uncovering the veiled truths and obtain answers to questions like - Is there something wrong with the way in which current Earth existence is designed? - I work with the film, The Matrix, written and directed by Larry and Andy Wachowski as a modern myth. In the film, as part of an invitation to extract Neo from his enslaved existence, Morpheus offers Neo two options: the "red pill" or the "blue pill," … [Read more...]

Truth Is What The Darkness Most Fears – Part 3

"People will do anything, no matter how absurd, to avoid facing their own soul." -- Carl Jung Last of a three-part series Shortly after posting Part 1 of "Truth Is What The Darkness Most Fears," a friend, whom I consider part of my inner circle sacred counsel, asked if I was concerned that my outreach via a three-part opinion article might be viewed as opportunistic. In addition, although I've received numerous encouraging and supportive responses to Part 1, I also received two challenging … [Read more...]
