Awake and Aware

An email friend asked if I knew what was going on in the world. She asked because all the emails I seem to send are jokes, pretty pictures and spiritual messages.

So let me say, yes, indeed I know what’s going on in the world… from my perspective.

On some level everyone does. Everyone has a perspective.

More and more people on this planet are awake. They are awake to truths. They use their inquiring minds to ask hard questions and seek answers. They go beyond the carefully orchestrated media offerings and anchor Light, Love and Knowing in their homes and work places.

When we know truths, we are not required to expose them. It’s not a matter of secrets, but a matter of discernment. You disclose information in appropriate places and ways without creating fear. This column is a good place to discuss some of these issues. Always it must be done in the vibration of love.

Each will arrive at truth when the timing is right. As more of the new Light comes onto this planet our vibrations increase and truth will be recognized. It can’t be avoided.

This planet’s vibrations are increasing and with it truth, joy, love, peace and light. Even these words themselves have the highest vibration of all words.

All beings and all situations are spiritual. It is the nature of existence. So there is no topic, situation or subject that is not open to discussion in a spiritual way. That means looking at scary topics from a higher perspective. ALL that exists is already spiritual. There is nothing that is not! Spirituality is not isolated from life. They are most intimately entwined.

Therefore it is from a spiritual perspective that we look at Team Dark’s agenda to control this planet. Team Dark is an elitist hierarchy that has subverted media, medical, education, food, religions, government and finance; globally. This group of elitists has been the source of poverty, hate, war, starvation, mind control, lethal toxins both injected and sprayed and is now portraying itself as the global savior by offering to take the reins of unified, one world control.

The levels of deceit, truth twisting through controlled media, money thievery and crimes against humanity committed to accomplish this very, very, very, very, long premeditated plan are so insidious, it is easy to dismiss them as conspiracy theories. Indeed, they are not. The moves made through history remind me of a very intricate chess board where plays are thought out far in advance.

On the other hand, Team Light is in support of awakening, self empowerment, free will and enlightenment by working to end the entrenched toxification of our planet by these elitists. When people are deeply asleep, they are startled when first awakened. Thus to not engender fear, these loving beings with Team Light use gentle means to slowly wake us up. Little by little transparency is happening with alternative talk shows, internet whistle blowers and disclosure websites.

The internet is full of information…. and disinformation. You must be discerning. You are aware enough to be so, as long as you stay out of fear. If a website makes you anxious or fearful, STOP reading it.  Check inside with your gut, your intuition, and you will see the fear triggers. If a teacher or website or media person says ‘only’, ‘should’ or ‘have to’; please be aware these comments dismiss free will! There is always choice! (Ok, you may ‘have to’ eat to live, but then again, there are Breatharians who swear you can live on air… personally I can’t yet and don’t want to. I’m not giving up banana splits!)

Once you begin to unravel a single thread, the house of cards tumbles down, revealing the truth. It is overwhelming if taken in one gulp… so begin educating yourself with one   Just one. Track it down. Intuit the truth and extract the pieces that fit. It’s much like a jigsaw puzzle. You keep adding one piece at a time until you see the whole picture.

simple thing that just doesn’t seem right to you.

Taking a single topic in small bites is easier to understand it and then surround it with light. Yeah, sounds airy-fairy, but manipulation of energy and light are real. We are powerful when we use our light to enlighten things.

The children of this planet are the future and they bring our future in their DNA. They are a new breed genetically. They take in Light differently. They are free of many old ideas like karma, racial hate, have tos and shoulds. They are asking questions, seeking and providing new answers medically, environmentally, socially and politically. They have intentions to make the planet whole, healthy and peaceful. Look to them as leaders intent on global and galactic unity, not control.

As light workers what can we do? We can make sure that if we are upset with a neighbor or co-worker, we bring peaceful resolution to the situation. War, conflict and hate can end with us, in each sticky situation. When we find the way to peace, so will the planet.

You are the seed of a new vision. A whole world opens up when you begin to seek.

Create joy… it’s always an option.

Grasping What 5th Dimension Is

Thank heavens for email. People sit, ponder and ask. Here’s one you might enjoy.

Dear Dolly,

I still can't seem to grasp going into the 5th Dimension. It’s more a feeling isn't it? I mean I get a feeling of complete contentment and joy and sometimes bliss but it just happens. I am still finding it difficult to hold it in my reality. Is this what you call 5th dimension? Before I even started to become aware I always thought we could have heaven on earth. I couldn't see why not. People thought I was nuts, but isn’t that exactly what ascension is about. It’s very exciting. E

Dear E,

The idea of the 5D (fifth dimension) being a place of complete contentment depends on your perspective. It’s still business as usual for most people. But with an uplifted perspective as we view our surroundings, we can achieve that reality for our individual selves. It might feel like being in the eye in the storm. No matter what is happening around us, we remain in our perspective of allowance and joy and light. That is the individually created ‘heaven’.

We can do that now, in each moment. It is ours to choose. Seek allowance within. It is a beginning. Seek to see things in a new way. Eventually, as we evolve, moving through the levels of 5D, like notes in an octave, we will achieve such peace and contentment in our mass consciousness. The more each person practices, the closer to the tipping point we come and that place of contentment will be the standard reality.

The hallmarks of 5D living are Choice and Perspective. 

Choose over and over to be the path of Love, Joy and contentment; not to have it in the future, but to BE it now. Choose often and consciously. Practice choosing until it becomes your true expressed nature. Indeed it is truly your unexpressed soul’s nature.

We are headed towards that overall heaven on earth you speak of, but it takes more awakened consciousness of more human beings. We are getting amazing help from sky friends (aka ETs), fabulous channelers, more internet information sources and more light of higher vibration available on the planet. There are new genetics in children and in others who have been continually choosing this path. We are growing into expanded versions of ourselves. This is what was called ascension.

None of this enlightenment is really new; it is our awareness of it that makes it seem so. Thus it is available to us.

All potential genetic coding, intuitive awareness, our expanded selves, clairsentience, clairvoyance, clairaudience and other enlightened abilities, is already within us.

It is all about perception and practice, not arrival. There is no place to go. There is just a new perception of what is your Beingness. You are unleashing the power within you that is already there. This moves us into unity consciousness through allowance of all perspectives.

Unity consciousness is about seeing God in each ‘other self’. Each is an aspect of oneself. Ascension puts us in the mindset of Being in the heaven of our perspective. If you still hate your neighbor or blame your parents for their behaviors; then you are not in your own heaven. Your separation from your ‘other selves’ is what keeps your perspective 3D. Your allowance ushers in the broader, higher, wider version of 5D.

It’s your perspective and your choices… over and over. This is the most important work you will ever do and the one you came here to be.

Does this help?

It's Not Your Same Old Dimension Any More

Dolman in England focusing Ley Line Energies

We’ve changed.

The planet has changed.

The Sun has changed.

The light waves coming on to this planet have changed.

The forces of Light are unstoppable.

We are what was foretold. We are the change.

Our consciousness is expanded with new ideas, new awarenesses, new dreams and new perspectives on old beliefs; and brand new beliefs.

Old gateways for consciousness:

Avebury, England Stone Circle portion

Stonehenge in England

Tijuanaco, Colombia   Gateway of the Sun

Our DNA has been upgraded. The new genetic program was downloaded by the Light. We are shifting from carbon based to silicon.

Silicon is the basis of crystals.

Like crystals, we are becoming able to hold, reflect and refract more Light. This is a very good thing. We’re on our way to Light Bodies.

The grip of Third Dimension (3D) reality has been disintegrating for a while. Now the Light supports only dimensions higher than third. 3D will have only a little longer to experience itself here. It’s available other places in the universe for those not done with it yet.

We asked for Extra Terrestrial (ET) assistance. We asked for more enlightened leaders. We asked for peace, love, brother and sister hood. We are them.

Step into your new shoes. The Fifth Dimension (5D) came while we were looking; we just didn’t realize it was happening.

The good news is we didn’t have to die to get there. That was the old way. Before us. Before this amazing shift in our DNA that has never happened in all the Universes. No wonder so many non-physical beings are here to watch and offer support.

Our true history has been revealed. Disclosure has happened. Did you miss it? It wasn’t on the regular news. If you’re still watching that you won’t see it because news people still use the old 3D thought forms.

The actual information is all available. Put your discernment cap on and read the info on the internet. There’s lots of old operators pushing new fears; but trust your gut. Whatever feels like fear or brings up fear in you is still tied to 3D. Find a different info site. There’s lots of them. Email me dolly@dollymae.com and I’ll be happy to send links.

5D isn’t Paradise… yet.  We’re only in the first stages of it. Each dimension is like an octave, with different steps as we move through it. Look back at 3D. The people of the middle ages are early stage 3D. The new genius kids worldwide are 5D. Many levels in-between.

Have you seen Yif and his ‘magic’ on YouTube? He’s at least the top level of 5D, maybe more, touching into 6D or 7D. His work isn’t magic. He’s showing us what our future reality looks like. Remember only the Shamans could see the explorer Magellan’s ships; not the fearful natives. The Shamans had opened themselves to viewing and accepting possibilities. You get to choose: Fear vs Fresh Perspectives.

Here’s one of the new gateways:

Putting the truth in plain sight

That’s where we sit right now; open to possibilities. We’re on the cusp of a grand new adventure. Limitless possibilities in every area: science, health, intergalactic travel, extraordinary wisdom; understanding reality and creation. When we get to 6^th Dimension, we’ll understand even more. I’m so excited I can hardly stand it. I’m practicing Beingness; it’s the access door. 

A Breath of Fresh Air

This week someone asked me what I see for the coming year. In general I see there will be scattered pockets of joy and fear, abundance and poverty. This is the very real time of creating our own experiences based on staying aware, conscious and open. Which one will we choose to be in? It is literally our choice.

A dear friend’s husband was just laid off. In her email she said “Wahoo! A vacation!!!” Now THAT’s attitude! Such attitude will bring another excellent job soon.

Recently I had a conversation about a mutual friend. Just by talking about things, I could see a custody battle and lawsuit coming up, an increase in income and many other surprises. Months later it all turned out to be true and our mutual friend now wishes he’d had a conversation with me too. Why? Because he wished he’d been prepared for what was coming.

The most personal information comes when you and I have just such a conversation. Mental pictures freely download into my consciousness with insights into the twists and turns of events to come. Nuances are shown to me in visions and metaphoric images
Our own minds play hide and seek with information we are too afraid to look at. Not that it will be bad, we’re just afraid it might be, so we hide from knowing.

With me, you’ll be getting a reading from someone who is not afraid to look and who receives insight that can be most helpful in getting unstuck and being prepared.

It’s like opening a window for fresh air.

These times of change are amazing and exciting. The changes will be different for each person based on their personal veil of love and self worth and fear. This is what we discover in a session.

A breath of fresh air can happen over the phone, in an office or a restaurant and usually involves a cup of tea too! Fresh air is very healing.

I look forward to our heart to heart conversation with insights.

Boundary Dispute

THE SITUATION:
(After many years using a common gravel road access to their home, a neighbor has blocked it off.) In an email the client writes:
“Well we have NO rights.
They called the police, said I gave her the bird....I didn't, but basically we are in the wrong....we have NO rights.
The policeman was very nice, but had a copy of our NO rights...Basically our road stops at the house just before us.
Called title company, talk about B.S and no help.....basically we have no rights......and we can't pick and choose the way we want to get to our home. We talked with the manager; same story and so on and so on and so on.
I have diarrhea so bad, this is not going away....wish we had never bought this place.
I am so crying, and there’s no way out.....head hurts heart aches and I'm just plain beaten....We are talking to people on phone, but no one is saying we have rights.
The guy that told me I can't pick and choose a way to our home, also said the REALTOR should have had all this info...It just goes on and on and on...
I'm crying again, and I'm going to close....this is awful...just awful...”


In one way or another we have all experienced this kind gut wrenching fear. My reply seemed universally applicable so I include it here for you.

It's horrible feeling beaten.

The biggest thing to do now is to NOT do anything. It is very hard to give up the feeling of being victimized.

I know you want to do this all logically, and there truly are more avenues, but I recommend letting them go right now.

You are dealing with an irrational person.

Your goal here is to keep the standard access. Keep that in mind. Focus on seeing good access restored to normal. Focus. Visualize. Focus. The more you give free rein to negative thinking the more it increases. I know this is hard but you will get through it.

Every possible resolution already exists in your energetic field. Pick the one you truly want to have and give it all your energy, focus and visualization. Bring it out into the light and play with it, feeling, seeing, smelling and visualizing it. Breathe life into it. Make it as real as you can.

There is always a ‘way out’ of every situation. It may not be the one you thought of or wished for; it might even be better. The only way we can ever be disappointed is when we hold on to needing our own outcome. Surrender, let go, give it up to a higher power to create the best solution and then align with knowing in some way it really is the best.

August will prove to be one of the most challenging months... and you will live through it. Resistance will create more resistance, as you have seen with the lie about flipping the bird... just one more on top of his irrational behavior. Use the back way for now. It works for now. That is all you need to focus on. Stay focused on this now... this very minute. You are safe. You do have an alternative way to reach your home. You are all right NOW.

You are not alone. Right now there are boundary and border disputes going on all over; neighbor to neighbor, country to country. Your personal situation is a reflection of the irrationality of conflict, no matter how big or small the scale. Do not make this a war. It WILL be resolved but probably not until after the unsettling energies of this August.

Continue to do Ho’oponopono, pray and find anything to be loving about: your beautiful yard, you pets, your relationship, and your health... find anything to appreciate... it is the first law of shifting your perspective. Allow yourself: body, mind and spirit to breathe and you will find you have shifted just a tiny bit. Continue to pray, do Ho’oponopono and find things to appreciate. You will shift just a little bit more. Make that your focus: small steps. It will pay great dividends.

I have used these methods in dire circumstances. It's hard for you to just jump in here and believe it, but I know you believe in prayer and its power. Its purpose is to give you focus on love and gratitude... don't simply recite the problem. Use prayer to find peace and love. This is done by keeping a tight rein on your thoughts. Do not go where angels fear to tread! In other words, do not slush about, repeating the situation, dwelling on it, drowning in the problem. These things only give it energy, life and power. Pay attention to your thoughts. This is not denial; this is retraining your mind.

You are stronger than you realize. You have a fertile and powerful mind. Use it to create, allow, forgive, love, and peace. Be in gratitude. Let go of the war.
Miracles happen when you choose to give focus to these positives instead of focusing on negatives. They are still there, but you are refusing to empower and enlarge them. Use that powerful mind as God intended you to.

Now is always the time to do this.

Remember that the depth to which this is affecting you is the depth of love you are capable of. Tear off the labels of anger, hatred, and frustration. Recognize the raw power source that it is. Redirect it into healing, love, allowance, forgiveness and most of all into visualizing an amazing resolution.

You do not know how this will turn out... why wallow in thoughts of it's being bad. For all you know, the city could come in and build you a road! The universe and all the angels can figure this out and make an outcome much, much more amazing than you can even think of. Surrender it to them. You'll be in good hands.

Our problems really are universal. They say there are only seven plots in all the stories of the world. So I hope you can use this to put a happy ending on your story lines. We always have the choice of how we interpret and respond to every situation. Each of your choices creates of your reality. May you choose joy and love each time.

Gulf Oil Response

Just as Mother Earth renews herself, we too are changing, renewing ourselves. Much that was repressed and forgotten, deeply buried within us is bubbling up. The oil from the depths that has the power to change a great deal is a metaphor for the great shifts within the human life form. We are changing to light beings that can handle 12 times more light than our original DNA could. To do this light will inevitably shine on our darkest aspects. Planetary hate, greed and abuse of people and power will come to the light, as we see daily happening. The oil spill, welling up from below, is its metaphor.

All is not lost. In fact, newness surrounds us; comes from deep within us.

Liken this to Mt St Helen's eruption. Scientists could 'prove' its devestation woul take aeons to recover. It took less than 2 yrs to begin; and 10 yrs it was astounding. Twenty five yrs later, we must be reminded it ever happened. Lives were lost, tho very few, but important to each one. The old man on the mountain, sitting in his lodge, represents the old way of hanging on no matter what the level of change being offered. He was resistance incarnate.

In this event too, there will be loss of life and other things of great value. The earth is birthing her own change….as are we.

You have a choice here to add to the sum of love on this planet or of fear. Love is simply letting go of fear. You cannot fear and love at the same time. Choose. We know our focus is an aspect of creation; so simply shift focus to what is loving. Know that our Mother Earth will heal. The animal life will recover. Things will change. Shift your focus to love. Love what is. Love what will be. Love the changes. Fear and judgment stop the flow and refuse to see any possibilities for positive outcome. We do not have to know what that outcome is. We have only to remain in loving trust that there is a greater story and that the larger picture is positive, for it is. Trust the process.

You have a choice before you. You can sit in the gut wrenching pain of fear; or you can take conscious control of your mind and find something to love and focus on that. Know that the Mother is having contractions prior to the birth. We are with her. As midwives to this miracle, we are attending the coming change. Nothing like it has ever happened in the universes. Humans are waking up, taking their own consciousness in hand and directing it into creation of the next step. Choose well. You are the co-creator of the next moment in this event.

Bless this birthing. Ho'oponopono prayer is easy and amazing.

Creator,
Please remove whatever it is within me that has created this experience.
I am truly sorry.
I ask forgiveness.
I thank you.
I love you.

Always you have choice in your reaction.
You are powerful, not powerless.
Your addition of love to this planet is powerful.

Believe it or not, this experience is so much better than what would have been happening had consciousness not gotten to this point!
Still it is difficult to watch death and dying. Still it is only the illusion of the temporary physicality of us. We are so much more.
All life is sentient, some more than others.
Our job is to love.
The heart expands to take all comers.
Let your heart open...

The answers to the problem are not to be found at the level of the problem. You can connect with the problem from the level of your open heart; Love. It heals.

It is your powerful choice.
Hold steady in your truth.
Know your love heals.

To Tell or Not To Tell

As a psychic, I am often asked what I do with information I get about the potential for trouble for someone else. Do I have to inform the person they may be facing a difficulty shortly?
I do not, for several reasons.

Sacred Individuality
To understand this seeming lack of caring, please understand I believe each of us is a master. This is sacred and inviolable; a prime directive. Each of us is the creator of our own individual realities. If someone is on a path of self destruction, that is their right. And it is only a potential. Everything can change. No one knows better how to live a life than the individual soul. You would not want someone, even well intentioned, to interfere with your life choices. We love our parents but at some point we want them to stop giving us advice. We want to blaze our own trail. Our individuality is sacred, guided by our own soul’s plan as we created it while still in spirit form. A person may have to hit bottom before awakening. If we keep giving them parachutes, they may not reach their turning point.

Disempowerment
To interfere with another’s life is to disempower them. It says “You are living wrong and I know how to run your life better than you do.” I may see important things about someone. So do you. But unless and until they ask you for help, clarification or input, they are not ready to hear it. Good intentions often translate as rescue. And rescuers need victims. They need them to validate their identity as rescuers. Although it makes the rescuer feel good, it reinforces victim mentality in others. It is not your responsibility or your right to change others.

The gift
I know you are thinking what about those who can’t help themselves. There is a healthy and an unhealthy way to assist. Mother Theresa’s gift was to see others as whole, not as victims. In placing herself in the heart of such neediness, she was a light for those in the dark. Light does not judge. It doesn’t intend to save others. Light does not inflict. It is simply available, impartial, and present. Let this be our guide.

Seeing Mastery in Others
To see even those lying in the gutter face down as magnificent masters is to empower them. Consciousness is a living thing, communicated even without action. They know how you feel about them. Helping someone who stumbles is a natural act born of the understanding we are all One and s/he who stumbles is in truth You. But to prolong the queries of “are you alright now” while sending unspoken communication of “you poor thing” is disempowering. Authentic help is love and needs no reward or acknowledgement. It is impartial, available and present.

Motivation
Pay attention to your motivations as you see others. For example, take the street beggar. Do you avoid them with a “get a job” thinking? Do you see a victim? Do you give them money fearing it could be you or resentfully, haughtily, impersonally? Can you look them in the eye as an equal and be loving with composure and calmness? Your motivations are as important as their circumstances. Their beingness is a gift to you to for self awareness. Through their simple act of being in their situation, they have volunteered, on a higher level, to be a nudge to your consciousness to look at the Oneness of all things in a compassionate and even handed way. These angels of the streets have chosen to be a gift to you. When you come across such an angel, go within to determine your own impulses to give or not give.

Judgment
However you act, there is no judgment but what you place on yourself. No one else knows your internal thinking and feeling process. Great compassion may simply beam love to them, or connect with a word, a touch. Kindness can mean more than money. If that street angel is playing the role of a victim, that is their concern. You do not have to reinforce it by responding as a rescuer. Be even. Be aware. Be conscious. It is such a little thing, but huge in impact.

Crossroads
I have always figured that if God/Goddess does not swoop in to rescue someone, neither should I. Acknowledging each as creator seems to honor the Creator in each of us. If you really want to know something you will ask. First, go within and ask yourself. If you do not receive clarity, there are other choices. Let go of the need to know. Learn how to find clarity. Ask someone. When we are at a crossroads, it is good to open windows and get a fresh perspective.

Compassion
Wordlessly compassion speaks “I feel your pain. I honor your journey. I see you as Creator, a Master. Blessings on your path.” Our job is to love. Love people as they already are, not as they could be, should be or might be. Love yourself first. Fill your own cup of self, a drop at a time until you overflow. Such freely expressed love blesses everyone and everything.

Refrain and Validate
It is a hard thing to refrain from giving advice when not asked. We do it all the time in conversations with friends. Listen to yourself. When a friend tells you of their pain, be compassionate, loving, validating. Acknowledge their feelings. Save your advice for only when you are asked. I often compare this to a child throwing up. You pet their head, make loving comments, touch their back, validate, coo, love. You do not start giving advice. They are in the process of disgorging something painful. Allow their process. Hold your well intentioned advice until they ask for it. It’s tricky, but you will both be better (more empowered) for the experience.

Divine Timing
If someone is facing a potential crisis, I believe their consciousness aligns with Divine Timing and they will either avoid the experience or embrace it depending on their highest and best path. It would be presumptuous of me to interfere with their creation.

In summary, open yourself to knowing and feeling. Seek to understand your own motivations. See others as perfect creators no matter what their situation. See yourself that way too. You don’t have to share what you know or be validated for it. In your own life ask for input when you are ready. Allow others to do the same. To tell or not to tell; it’s up to you.

Vacationing

It occurs to me while on holiday that many people never really get a vacation. They have an ill loved one than needs constant care; they don’t have enough money; they are afraid of leaving home or a hundred other reasons.

In a paradise setting I see extensive and filthy makeshift communities of homeless people. Tents and tarpaulins litter the beachside park. My heart goes out to them in compassion for their choices and willingness to accept such limitation; but I do not see them as victims.

Saying Yes
Our job as enlightened beings is to say yes to it all. We often feel sorry for homeless people or minimum wage workers. Compassion is one thing. It is lovely, aligning and conscious of our at-one-ment with others. Feeling sorry for others is another thing. When we feel sorry for people we have simply forgotten they are creators, not victims. We have judged their circumstances as awful.

Freedom
Oftentimes we do not even know the real story behind their situations. For some, such ‘housing’ is a step up from something. It may represent freedom from abuse, bills, burdens, family, debt or even isolation.

Just One Choice
I’m not being Pollyanna here, but we need to see these makeshift communities as just one choice in our reality. In the midst of such wealth and abundance they have made hundreds of thousands of small decisions that resulted in their reality being what it is. And so have we. We are, for the most part, comfortable in the one we have chosen. Yet we are living in a reality that is would be deemed substandard from a $5,000.00 per night hotel room.

Perspective
If a wealthier person felt sorry for you in how you live your everyday life, you’d be insulted, and rightfully so. Such condescending attitudes make many presumptions about what pleases you, your comfort zone and your perceptions. It says everything you think and all you have become are wrong. How pompous and arrogant is such an attitude! The same is true when you feel smug and superior looking down on the tent dwellers.

All is One; All is Now
If we but remember we are all one and all is happening now, we will understand things differently. Everyone else: filthy, wealthy, grieving, mentally ill or deliriously happy is an aspect of you. They are offering you an opportunity to see a facet of yourself in a different mirror, through different eyes. Embrace that awareness of the choices you could have made in this lifetime… that some part of you did make since we are all One; and be grateful. Be grateful that you have decided to emphasize a different facet of your beingness this time around that suits your comfort zone..

Comparison
Because we live in a world of duality everything is looked at in comparison to something else. We do this to make informed choices. However, if we make comparisons to feed ego, to feel superior to someone else or to create separation, we have failed in our job as enlightened beings. Judgment separates. Acknowledging facets of the crystals we are unites us in a common bond of oneness. Preferences are not steps up a ladder; just choices based on myriad experiences that brought us to the now moment. Live in that now moment, make informed choices and remember the seed of each of us is in each other.
