Are you READY to "Cross Over?"

I've always been fascinated with supernatural events and happenings. So you shouldn't be at all surprised to hear I enjoyed the television show, "Ghost Whisperer," starring Jennifer Love Hewitt. The show ran on CBS from September 23, 2005 to May 21, 2010.

I so much enjoyed the show that I now watch it in re-runs on Ion television, whenever I get the chance.



As the character Melinda Gordon, Hewitt has the ability to speak to ghosts who are still lingering on Earth because of unresolved issues. With her assistance, the ghosts are able to resolve their earthly concerns and finally cross over into "the light."

Today's post, too, is about crossing into the light and getting rid of "ghosts" from our past that keep us from moving forward.

"If we don’t start treating ourselves with the love and attention we need, we will continue to be our own worst enemies."

-Debbie Ford, highly esteemed spiritual teacher, tweeted on April 4, 2011.


Many of us are afraid to delve deeply into painful experiences of the past because we don't want to disturb our current peace. Until we do, though, we are living a false reality.

Unearthing negative past experiences, if correctly handled, reveals to us the truth about who we always were as a person. It also shows us how all along the journey, there always was a loving, gentle hand leading us and comforting us. Seeing this, and knowing this truth, helps us reach Wholeness.


What this truth also should signal to is that since The Presence was always there ...it always will be there.

As we look back, we should remember that the consciousness we have today is not the same consciousness that we carried yesterday.

Every day...in every way...we are evolving.


The Soul does not retrogress. It moves us forward into a new level of consciousness with each new experience of each new day.

So, when we did something 20, 10, five or even two years ago, we did so with the consciousness we had at the time.

It's always wise to remember, "consciousness we had at the time!"

[DISCLAIMER: If you've got serious issues from your past that need to be resolved, please seek the help of a licensed psychiatric professional.]



Most of us are walking along the road...going into our todays...and tomorrows...with lots of "ordinary" baggage from yesterday weighing us down. This type of baggage needs to be discarded and left at the curb of our past.

We cannot keep dragging along stuff that no longer serves us and expect that one day, we'll wake up whole.


No matter how many spiritual teachers you hear speak...no matter how many spiritual self-help books you read... you will not be able to move into "the light" until you take a long, long look at your past.

No person is born into Wholeness.

Even Jesus...the Buddha...Mohammed...fill in the names...evolved into the essence of who they were after years of LIVING.


They didn't get rid of their past; they integrated it beautifully into their PRESENCE.

That's what you also must do...to move into the LIGHT of your Soul and into Wholeness.

If we look around our world, we'll see that all aspects of life keep evolving: our corporate world ...countries around the world...our family, friends...the microcosm we operate in as our world.

This is the essence of life: Evolution.

"I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it."

--Nelson Mandela

For you to be afraid to look back on your past because of shame or fear is doing a disservice, not only to yourself but also to the rest of the world. By not showing up as the person you were meant to be, you cheat us all!

We are all born with unique gifts and talents that should be shared with the world. Your gifts were intended to be used in the world for the "common good."

"You've been given YOUR life. No one else has your version. You'll never bump into yourself on the sidewalk. You'll never meet anyone who has your exact blend of lineage, loves, and longings. Your life will never be lived by anyone else. You're not a jacket in an attic that can be recycled after you are gone."

--Max Lucado, Outlive Your life

As we move closer to the resurrection of "The Christ" spirit on Easter Sunday, I urge you to open up your past.

Go into the silence of your Soul.


Speak to God in the silence.

Then...listen...listen...listen.

Once you've heard and seen areas of your life causing you current discomfort.

Examine them.

Examine them.

Examine them.

Then...discard them.

Hop out of the box of yesterday.

Cross over.


D-E-C-I-D-E to cross over.

It's only by making a conscious decision to "cross over" can we do so.

So, decide...then, in one leap...move over...
into the light.That's it.

After that...don't look back. It's gone.

From then on, trust God to lead you.

"Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not to your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him and he shall direct thy path."--Proverb 3: 5-6

"If you've felt like you've wasted years of your life in the wrong job, hanging around the wrong people, doing the wrong things, God will gather those years and restore them back to you."

Joel & Victoria Osteen, Word For Today, Friday, April 8, 2011

You will reach Wholeness. You will find TRUTH.




Pray...pray...pray...
in the Silence.

Affirm today's Daily Word: "This day is a new beginning for me, and I embrace it with enthusiasm!"

I'm hopeful you'll find that new beginning by Easter Sunday...in time to be resurrected...into the light!


I'm wishing the same for myself, too, i.e. illumination becomes a "sustained state" vs. periodic states of enlightenment.

Namaste',
