As Above So Below

by Sequoia Elisabeth

As above so below; as below so above! What exactly does this mean? Why is it important? I have been thinking about this Universal Law of Correspondence and how it relates to Gender Transition. So let’s start with the first question, what exactly does this mean?

The Universal Law of Correspondence tells us there is “harmony, agreement and correspondence” between the physical, mental and spiritual realms. There is no separation since everything in the Universe, including you, originates from the One Source. The same pattern is expressed on all planes of existence from the smallest electron to the largest star and vice versa. All is One.

The why is this question important, is a no brainer! This is the essence of our being; the nature of our very existence! “It is possible that each of us is a function of what the whole cosmos is doing at a point called here and now. In effect, each of us IS the whole universe looking at itself through our eyes. The universe is conscious and self-aware, a.k.a. God, and this awareness and consciousness is within each of us. In other words, what happened to Jesus was NOT a unique experience that only happened to one man in all history and prehistory, but something that EACH of us can experience directly when we tune in to the consciousness that is the base of our existence.” (Watson, Chris 2007)

Just how this quote (As above so below; as below so above) relates to gender transition is the meat of this blog. As always I would love to hear your take on how this relates to gender transition. Here is my take on it. We are experiencing an enlightenment on the scale of Jesus, Buddha, Babaji and many others. We are realizing that gender is a human construct and simply does not exist at higher frequencies of existence. It is necessary in this world to facilitate propagation and fully experience the duality of this world. Gender supplies balance in a world that requires it, but is rarely in balance.

You may remember me saying, I am a Spiritual Being having a human experience. This explains this law quite succinctly and adds profound meaning to the saying, as above so below. This means that here in the below world we are coming into realization of the Oneness with above. As we do this we experience enlightenment! I am one with my creator, and in fact I am my creator experiencing a unique aspect of myself, known to me as (insert name).

Gender transition is me knowing myself as more than a simple body, singular dimension, limited animal in a cruel world. Everyone in this world is experiencing the opposite of who they really are! As we awaken to the Truth we are set free! Each person awakens in their own way experiencing life from a unique perspective.

The physical changes experienced in this world do manifest in the higher frequency realms because we are all connected in Oneness. Seeing the perfection in this is my goal. What I do in this world impacts my evolution in many dimensions, just as what I do there affects me here! I am BOTH male & female and Neither! Love is the answer.

Gender Related Transitions

Transgender and beyond

by Sequoia Elisabeth

It is time we revisited Transgender, Gender Identity and Sexual Orientation so that everyone understands the meaning of certain words and concepts. The Unitarian Universalist Church as a wonderful site (beside my own site of course) that gives a good overview of these principles, so please visit by clicking here after you have read this blog of course, lol.

First and foremost it is important to understand that gender and sex are different things and have multiple meanings. Gender is your self-concept of who you are man, woman, transgender, androgynous or other. Each individual is born with this, but is not aware of it till the ages of 3-6. If a discrepancy is perceived then this awareness is often suppressed or denied in order to fit in. I pray this is changing and from what I have observed it is. Children are coming out and telling their parents who are actually respecting their concerns. Cisgender is a term that describes “people who are not trans or gender variant—in other words, those whose gender identities, presentations, and behavior “match” (according to the gender binary) the sex they were assigned at birth.” (UUA.org)

Transgender and/or Trans is a person appearing or attempting to be a member of the opposite sex, such as a transsexual or habitual crossdresser. This term is often as an umbrella term to include the entire community of individuals who cross gender boundaries on a consistent basis. For more on terminology I cover it extensively at this link.

Sexual Orientation is also hard wired at birth and does not change, although many people now days are bisexual or pansexual meaning they are open to the individuals personality and not so concerned with physical sex. A homosexual is attracted to their own sex and will not consider being with the opposite sex, just as a heterosexual is only interested in the opposite sex. With Transgender individuals these definitions get blurry, so it is up to the individual to identify. Make no assumptions because each person is different and may change their mind from time to time, especially if they are young and exploring. The term sex can also mean physical or biological sex.

The traits of the Aquarian Age person is that of being bisexual and androgynous which explains much of the trans-revolution we are experiencing today! We are moving from the end of the Piscean era to the new era of Aquarian! I have spoken of this in other blogs and find that this explains much of what I have been experiencing. I have decided not to get too drastic with my transition because I can see the bigger picture! I am exactly the person I was meant to be straight from birth!

Does this mean I was not to transition? Of course not! That is the purpose of these times and my life is a mirror of the greater whole just as your life is! All I am saying is I have chosen not to have sex change surgery. Your path is up to you and if you have questions I am happy to assist! Please visit the website below and explore the Gender Learning Center. It goes into gender at length as well as sexual orientation and the different aspects of each of these. The eBook “Sex and Sexuality” is available free on this website also. The eBook is an extensive look at gender, sex, orientation, sexuality, and more. So please give it a look see. The website below lists the info in several formats -video, powerpoint, written, quiz, and eBook, so you can find what works best for your learning method.

Illusions

by Sequoia Elisabeth

We discussed a few days ago “Being in the world, but not of it” which applies directly to the topic today. I recommend watching a few movies to get a good idea of what I speak. Here is a list of movies that explain reality “What the Bleep do we know”, “Leap!”, What Dreams May Come” and many more. The book “Disappearance of the Universe” is another great source of info. (See this Link) Now that you have an idea of the Illusion I speak, let us move on.

Here is the best video I could find on 2012 Galactic Alignment and what it means. There is much information out there now and from several different perspectives so it is good to explore this so you get a good feel for what is to come. Another movie that is a must see is The Quickening – about the changes related to 2012 explaining the Mayan Calendar in terms that apply to everyone today.

Understand that what you believe is what you will experience or some facsimile of it. Personally I am looking forward to the Astrological events in the coming days. It is also important to understand that we are experiencing the shift right now and it will continue on till 2015 or later. The Age of Aquarius is not supposed to appear until 2060 or so. The important part of all these predictions is simply this. (I do hope you have fun with 2012, not taking it too seriously)

God operates through each of us and as we think, speak, and do, reality is created. The thoughts and ideas you embrace, think about and believe are the ones you experience. What happens exactly remains to be seen, but you can be assured that if you enter into this time with fear in your heart it will not be pleasant. On the other hand if you see a new age filled with Joy, Harmony, and Oneness then we all will experience Heaven on Earth. I cannot over emphasize the importance of staying positive and focusing on your inner desires. Envision the future you wish to experience and start walking in that direction. Do things you believe will take you there. Do not get side tracked with the illusion that the world is in chaos, people are suffering, or massive earth changes will destroy all life on earth. It is all an Illusion created by fear and false Gods.

The point I wish to make here is this, we are a small portion of the greater whole and are being swept along by forces far greater than we can even imagine. All of life is a representation of Divine Consciousness and your experience of it. Your thoughts, words and actions are what propel you through this ocean of energy. The coming days, including today are significant as your awareness broadens and you understand more deeply the Cosmic forces guiding your path. It is all Good!

The New World Order

by Sequoia Elisabeth

Daily jobs are very important to the workings of society, and our economic system is being rewritten out of necessity. It no longer sustains us. Jobs are changing accordingly. New jobs are sprouting up like daisies while many old jobs are becoming obsolete. The number of Americans who are self employed or working contract is sky rocketing. We have seen this phenomena portrayed in movies such as “Robots” and others where technology takes over certain jobs creating other jobs in new fields such as machine maintenance and computer programming. Corporations that thrive are the ones who embrace change and forge a niche for themselves in the new world, much as our founding fathers did when they came to this country some five centuries ago.

Many people believe that they came to find religious freedom and that was a small part of it, but mostly it was the corporations of Europe, mostly England who were looking for growth possibilities. They found them at the expense of the native peoples of America and many other countries around the globe. This transition was indeed bloody and painful for all involved, but I believe that nothing happens without our consent on some level.

The native people did not realize they had given consent for this kind of growth, but on a Spiritual level they knew. It was part of the growth of consciousness which is inevitable. So do not feel bad for either side in history because what was meant to be will be. I hold the Native Americans in great esteem for the honor and wisdom in which they live life. The same goes for the natives of Africa and Australia and all the other players we have in the world, they are all part of the larger expansion in human consciousness.

The role of the frequency holder, light worker, or peacemaker is to see beyond “reality” which is really illusion and hold a vision of peace, harmony and oneness (Divine Truth) out for all to see! As we live the life of our dreams to the ideals we envision, and others do the same this realization of Truth or expansion of Human Consciousness reaches a tipping point, and the whole world transforms.

Can you envision an ideal world? What would it be like? I have written about this in the eBook “a Love Based Society” and in the article “A Perfect Society“. Click the link to get your no cost copy.

I invite you to share your vision in the comments section, and with your partner, friends and family, because this is how we grow. Hold a vision, share it all around, even write a book about it, and eventually your dream becomes reality. As I have said a thousand times, be careful what you wish for – you might just get it! Next issue will look at the illusions and perceived costs of this evolution.

Art of Detachment

by Sequoia Elisabeth

The art of detachment is a Buddhist teaching which also has its Christian counterpart. Jesus teaches this and likely learned it from the Buddhist teachers he had. It works like this; be in the world but not of it. What this means is to fully experience life and at the same time release any attachment you have to it. Please see the blog of Jan. 26, 2011 for a previous explanation of The Art of Detachment. From this point on I would like to provide other perspectives so the picture becomes clearer.

Live fully and completely without being attached to the outcome. Accept what you have as a gift and make the most of it! Once you have experienced this know that you can experience anything you desire. Do you see how living with passion can bring vitality to life? If not you soon will.

“Detachment means rising above the status quo, without passing judgment, and watching the drama unfold without becoming physically or emotionally involved. Detachment doesn’t mean burying your head in the sand so that you need not watch the action as it unfolds; it means, being there, observing from an objective space, and remembering who you are, a spiritual being watching the drama of polarization reach its climax and fail so that a new paradigm of victory can be birthed by those of us who refuse to buy into a perpetual game of winners and losers. Detachment addresses the need of the spiritually inclined to remove oneself from the chaos while observing and learning valuable lessons about this temporary physical existence. … But remember, we are spiritual beings having a human experience and not the other way around. So we can remove ourselves from the drama when we’ve learned all we need to know about polarization and separation. When we finally realize who we really are, and how we are all equally part of the same creative manifestation, we will finally learn the fine art of detachment and the truth behind our cosmic ancestry and oneness.” (Dawn Abel, 2002)

The key is to tap into your desire and experience it fully, and once experienced you release it and move to the next. Here is a different view of Detachment that provides a deeper insight to its value and use.

“Detachment not only releases joy; it is also the secret of health. It is the best medical insurance in the world, and not only because it can keep us free from physical habits that sap our vitality. Most illness has a serious emotional element. While there is an important place for physical measures in the treatment of disease, a mind at peace and a heart flooded with love can release healing powers that strengthen and revitalize the physical system. Strength can be regained even after years of emotional instability. In extreme cases, I believe, recovery can be brought about even from what seems a terminal illness.

Today, of course, it is widely appreciated that because of advances in medical knowledge, we can expect to live much longer than was reasonable at the beginning of the twentieth century. But we can lead lives that are not only longer but richer, more loving, and more productive. The next steps in stretching the limits of human health and longevity, I believe, will not be in biotechnology. They will come from learning to govern the way we think and feel. Detachment is a longevity skill. Freedom from compulsive emotional entanglements is the best insurance against stress. More than that, by opening a window onto a fuller, loftier view of life than that dictated by self-interest, detachment brings a sense of purpose. Without a reason for living, the human being withers and dies inside. However paradoxical it may sound, it is detachment that enables us to give ourselves wholeheartedly to worthwhile work without ever getting depressed, despondent, or burned out – right into the last days of our lives.” (The Blue Mountain Center of Meditation)

I wish I could describe the feeling of Joy that comes from detachment, but I will just say “Give it a go – put this to the test”! Love your partner, family, pet, job, home, etc. completely without being attached to any outcomes such as living the next 20 years together, being happy, or even being healthy. They could be hit by a car tomorrow and become paraplegic or even die! I have certainly seen this happen more times than I would of liked. I have also seen people who had this experience and made their lives into celebrations! Taking the lemons you are given and making lemonade is one of the most satisfying things you will ever do!

Toning For Healing

by Sequoia Elisabeth

Toning is the practice of using the voice to facilitate healing and shifting the perception of reality. It may be used individually or in groups of 2 or more; the more people toning at the same time with the same intention the more profound the effects of the toning. It is like prayer in musical form with the accuracy of mathematics.

Toning is a harmonic frequency created by the human voice and powered by the intention put into it. The healing effects are profound and often this technique it used unconsciously. Have you ever stubbed your toe and shouted OOOOHHH? The sound you make after hurting yourself is a form of toning! I remember as a child I had terrible growing pains and I would tone myself to sleep. At the time I called it moaning, lol. It is the same thing however with one big difference. Toning is powered by intention and is a conscious act of healing which makes it more powerful.

To tone one simply makes a sound in a constant tone for as long as the breath will last and then repeats this tone several times. Afterward silence is maintained for a period equal to the toning. The sound can be anything and it is good to set an intention or make a prayer prior to toning. A group toning together with hands held amplifies the effect. The toning can be a word, a vowel or just about anything. “Omm” is a powerful sound to make because it is said to be God’s name in certain religions. The important part is the tone should have meaning to you and the group. Notice the similarity in the sound of “O”, “Om”, God!

The Native Americans and other ancient peoples have been using toning for centuries in their ceremonies and healing sessions. It is a natural process that facilitates the flow of energy through the body. This video I found on youtube explains what I am saying here with Divine Harmony, please take a look and use this practice consciously in your life!

The Law of Attraction Exposed

by Sequoia Elisabeth

Contrast is what brings Joy into our lives yet we still seek connection in those we meet. What is this “sameness” we are looking for? Why is it that we are repulsed by those individuals who are different than us? When picking friends why is it we choose who we do? These questions are all related and the answer is simple, you may have already guessed it.

In regard to picking friends and being attracted to certain people over others it is a simple Universal Law, The Law of Attraction which states, “Like attracts Like”. This is the same law that created our planet, the galaxy, and all that you know. It is the same law that draws to you everything in your life. You have a vibrational frequency which resonates an energy signature. This energy attracts or repels everything in your life. Thoughts are energy and vibrate just as you do and when certain thoughts or energy vibrations are claimed those things are attracted into your life. That is why I say all thoughts and words are prayers. Focus on what you desire!

Imagine the Big Bang! Millions of particles are expanding outward and those which are alike are drawn together, slowly they form suns, planets and moons. The Universe is still expanding outward and particles are still being drawn together, except now we are conscious of this process. We are the observers who are witnessing our own creation!

Bringing this analogy back to earth, our relationships are no different in that we are attracting and repulsing all the time based on our thoughts, words and actions which reflect our vibrational frequency. Ever walked into a room where two people have been arguing and they are still mad? This is the energy of repulsion. Or if you are with two people in Love it is so easy to feel the attraction they have for each other. Of course being the one in Love is what we are all seeking where we are drawn to our partner in such a way as Joy flows with every heart beat! Remember like attracts like, so be the person you desire! Yes, that means just what it says; you are attracting people who are like you!

Contrast brings Joy to us and it is sameness or connection we seek so how can you have both? Simply by looking at things with the eyes of your Father or to say that another way, see the Christ in every person you meet! We are all the same in this way. We are each a child of Christ, born of the same star-stuff and yet vibrating with unique energy. When I say Jesus walks beside me take that literally, because each person I meet is the Christ!

To see that spark in another is one of the greatest gifts there is. Next time you feel yourself drawn to another person or thing, it is because they match your energy vibration, or at least compliment you. Understanding the dynamics of energy opens so many doors and simply makes life easier and more enjoyable. For more on energy dynamics and the workings of life, check out my book, “Livin’ Large – A journey of Love”.

Law of Mentalism Revisited

by Sequoia Elisabeth

We have arrived at the beginning – the First Immutable Universal Law of Mentalism. The First Universal Law is first because understanding this Law opens the door to the other seven. I am not talking about the Law of Attraction here because it is basic to all laws weaving them together. I have dedicated several blog posts to the Law of Attraction and will again. Let us move on to our discussion for today.

“Of the seven Universal Laws, the first three are immutable, eternal Laws, meaning they are Absolute and can never be changed or transcended. They have always existed and will always exist. The other four laws are transitory, mutable Laws meaning that they can be transcended or at least “better used” to create your ideal reality. This is not to say that you should ignore these four Laws or attempt to defy them for even if you do they will still govern your existence. Your aim is to master each of the seven Universal Laws and only then learn to transcend the mutable ones.

The Law of Mentalism: “The All is Mind – The Universe is Mental”. The first of the Universal Laws tells us that “All is Mind”. That everything we see and experience in our physical world has its origin in the invisible, mental realm. It tells us that there is a single Universal Consciousness – the Universal Mind – from which all things manifest. All energy and matter at all levels is created by and is subordinate to the Omnipresent Universal Mind. Your mind is part of the Universal Mind – the same in kind with the only difference being one of degree. Your reality is a manifestation of your mind. This is true Mind Power.” (Kotsos 2011)

Sooo…, What do you think? (That is meant as a pun, giggles ;- ) Consider this quote by Ernest Holmes, the author of Science of Mind. “There is but one Mind, the Mind of God, and that Mind is my Mind Now.” It is hard to believe that God could be thinking some of the things I have been thinking, especially in my adolescence; however, I will not get into the ego mind vs. the God Mind in this blog because we have covered that before (write to me if you would like to know more). The power of this Universal Law is that by careful attention and diligent weeding you can change your thoughts to align with your desires. The Universal Mind can also be shifted in your perception so that you experience your desires, although ultimately all desires are the same; to know God. Even the desire to wipe God from your Mind results in knowing God! We are all God – Godding!

Law of Correspondence Revisited

by Sequoia Elisabeth

The power in this immutable Law of the Universe cannot be understated. Once you understand this Law fully everything in your life will transform for the better. It is not hard either, however it does take time to see this Law in action and therefore understand it fully. The first step is to state this Second Universal Law and contemplate its meaning.

The Law of Correspondence: “As above, so below; as below, so above”. This Law tells us there is “harmony, agreement and correspondence” between the physical, mental and spiritual realms. There is no separation since everything in the Universe, including you, originates from the One Source. The same pattern is expressed on all planes of existence from the smallest electron to the largest star and vice versa. All is One. The Ancient Greek Temple of Apollo at Delphi was referring to this great Law of Correspondence in the inscription “Know thyself and thou shalt know all the mysteries of the gods and the Universe”. (Kotsos 2011)

We are One! When you hear the statement God is all there is, this pretty much sums it up, but as simple as it is, it can be very difficult to conceptualize. Stop what you are doing or thinking at this time and contemplate that “We are all One”. This means that everything is connected and working together even though the opposite may appear sometimes. In fact your opposite is a part of you too. The significance of this is that what you see around you, what is happening to you and what is happening inside you are all a part of YOU. Each aspect of your being is connected, your thoughts, your body, and your spirit are always in communication and when your mind is open you can be aware of this fact.

The Spirit has a larger view than the mental or physical aspects of your being so it is generally a good idea to be aware of the Spirit and follow its guidance. Since we are all one this guidance in effect is God. I have written about this many times before, so please understand that if God is all there is; then you are God, even if this is a small aspect of God. As stated above the same pattern is expressed on all planes of existence. A hologram is an image that reflects in 3D while containing the whole. The One Source is reflected in all things at all levels. When you start looking for patterns repeated on different levels it is amazing what reveals itself. For instance, each cell in your body is alive, take the cell out of the body and it will continue living. Within the cells are organs which are alive they are smaller patterns of the larger whole. You are the larger whole. Each person on earth makes up a collective human race like cells in the body of Gaia. The solar system is made up of bodies called planets, and galaxies are made up of bodies called solar systems….

If you put a mirror in front of a mirror you see the pattern repeated as far as the eye can see. This is what the holographic effect is. This is what the One Source has done. Everything in the Universe is a reflection of God. So, the next time you get angry with your brother for taking something that belonged to you, ask yourself, if we are one, who really owns that something? Is it really gone if we are all One? When you give a present to your best friend, aren’t you giving that gift to yourself? Since we are all One! Maybe you can see the significance of this Universal Law, so now go out and test it, look for it and experience it. Oneness is profound, almost beyond belief!!

Law of Vibration Revisited

by Sequoia Elisabeth

This 3rd Universal Law is an elemental and immutable Universal Law, meaning that it is fixed and will not change. Vibration is the fundamental nature of all energy in the Universe. Transition is the process of shifting this vibrational frequency on a fundamental and permanent level. Some change is temporary and other changes are permanent, so be aware how this Law works so that you may fully harness its benefits.

“The Law of Vibration: “Nothing rests; everything moves; everything vibrates”. The third and last of the immutable Universal Laws, tells us that “the whole universe is but a vibration”. Science has confirmed that everything in the Universe, including you, is pure energy vibrating at different frequencies. The axiom that “like energy attracts like energy”, upon which the Law of Attraction is based, has its foundation in this Law. Everything that we experience with our five physical senses is conveyed through vibrations. The same applies to the mental realm. Your thoughts are vibrations. All your emotions are vibrations where “unconditional love” is the highest and most subtle of the emotional vibrations and “hate” is the densest and most base. You can learn to control your mental vibrations at will. This is true thought power.” (Kotsos 2011)

There are some wonderful videos online that go into the specifics of energy or vibrational frequency, although most are over simplifications. This is a complex process that exists at many levels from quarks to Universes. Movement is our nature, so understand this and work with it. The density of the object is relative to the vibrational frequency of the molecules within the object. The slower the vibration the more dense it is. Energy is neither created nor destroyed it merely changes form. The process of forming diamonds from coal takes immense pressure and heat (two kinds of energy) combined to shift the vibrational frequency of the coal to that of a diamond (Lower to Higher Energy). Man has figured out how to create diamonds through external mechanical means using intense heat and pressure energy. We are becoming Masters of our environment. With this awesome power comes responsibility. This same power can destroy us as we have witnessed in the Atomic Bomb.

Thought is energy that vibrates and combines with the molecules of our body to manifest shift in expression. All healing and changes in appearance begin as thought. The scale of this thought determines its power. Aging for instance is a Universal Conscious thought, so everyone on earth ages. In order to forgo aging one must vibrate above the frequency of this Universal Consciousness. Spiritual Masters can do this, and many have done so. You too can do this! Your physical structure can be changed by aligning your bodily vibration with that which you desire. This of course applies to any healing, cosmetic changes, gender transition, body building, etc. You may have heard the saying, “If you wish to be a millionaire then think like one”. The same applies to whatever it is you desire; Be It. In the words of Mahatma Gandhi, “Be the Peace you desire in the world”.

🙂 Sequoia Elisabeth

Ps. The word “Be” implies both action and non-action. The idea behind gender transition is to be yourself and allow your inner self to emerge, by simply “being”. Of course, since you were born in the opposite body, action is required to embody this “being”. It is important to remember that God is all, and has no gender. You are an expression of God!

Law of Polarity Revisited

by Sequoia Elisabeth

This 4th of 7 Universal Law is one that we face every day and when we understand this Law and how to transmute it so many doors open that lead to Joy, Peace and Love. On the transition journey seeing the polarity, knowing that they are two parts of a whole and embracing both parts leads us to freedom.

“The Law of Polarity: “Everything is dual, everything has poles; everything has its pair of opposites; opposites are identical in nature, but different in degree”. The first of the mutable Universal Laws tells us that there are two sides to everything. Things that appear as opposites are in fact only two extremes of the same thing. For instance heat and cold may appear to be opposites at first glance, but in truth they are simply varying degrees of the same thing. The same applies to love and hate, peace and war, positive and negative, good and evil, yes and no, light and darkness, energy and matter. You can transform your thoughts from hate to love, from fear to courage by consciously raising your vibrations. This is what in the ancient Hermetic Teachings is called the Art of Polarization.

Neutralizing the Law of Polarity: This Principle of Duality may appear to be very real in your life but it operates only in the physical and mental realms, not in the spiritual realm where All is One. As it says in the Bhagavad-Gita “God is Above the Opposites”. By always placing the all-powerful, all-knowing Great Spirit of which you are a part behind your every thought, statement and action, and by always focusing on the “good”, even when things appear to be going “bad”, then in time you will neutralize the Law of Polarity such that it ceases to operate in your life.” (Kotsos 2011)

Relating this Law to gender transition, male and female are parts of the whole and when you see this transition becomes so much easier. Take a paper sack and turn it inside out, notice the similarities and the differences. Now turn your paper sack into a plastic bag. Having difficulty with that? Paper and plastic come from different elements and are thus not the same. We are able to transition from male to female or female to male because each is a pole of the same thing, Human. We are not turning coal into gold here; instead we are turning the sack inside out.

Focus on embracing both parts of the whole and putting them in place respective to your personal gender identity. In essence you are showing the world who you are, not who they expect to see. This is done by Loving all of your body, not just the part you identify with. How can you only Love a part of God? Or Love only a part of your Partner? True Love and complete transition are total Love of all aspects of who you are, good or bad!

Ps. When I use capital letters with words like Love, I refer to Divine Love, not ego love. If you don’t know the difference read my eBooks or write to me, I am happy to explain.

Pss. Know that you have free will, so changing any aspect of your body is your choice and does not affect Polarity, you are always both male and female. It is simply a matter of which is being expressed.

Law of Rhythm Revisited

by Sequoia Elisabeth

Today’ blog is all about the 5^th of 7 Universal Law. These laws govern everything in the Universe. This law falls in the category of mutable, meaning that it is possible to rise above this law. Remember that when you are aware of the laws and how they work then you can make use of them. Otherwise you are stumbling through the dark.

“The Law of Rhythm: “Everything flows, out and in; everything has its tides; all things rise and fall; the pendulum-swing manifests in everything; the measure of the swing to the right is the measure of the swing to the left; rhythm compensates.” The second of the mutable Universal Laws tells us that the pendulum swings in everything. This principle can be seen in operation in the waves of the ocean, in the rise and fall of the greatest empires, in business cycles, in the swaying of your thoughts from being positive to negative and in your personal successes and failures. In accordance with this Law, when anything reaches a point of culmination then the backward swing begins almost unnoticeably until such time that any forward movement has been totally reversed, then the forward movement begins again and the process is repeated.

Rising Above the Law of Rhythm: To transcend the swing of the pendulum you must become aware of the subtle start of the backward movement in any of your endeavours whether it be to improve your health, your finances, your relationships or any goal you may set in motion. When you feel the Law start to draw you back do not become fearful or discouraged. Instead, knowing that you are one with the Omnipotent Universal Mind for which nothing is impossible, keep your thoughts focused on your outcome and fight to remain positive no matter how far back this transitory Law pulls you. Even if your efforts meet with failure, find comfort that by virtue of this very same Law, the upward motion must start again. In time your perseverance will be rewarded as the backward movements become weaker and eventually disappear.” (Kotsos 2011)

Like waves on the beach we all have our ups and downs. When you get into this rhythm and go with the flow life is far easier. Constantly swimming against the current is not only exhausting it is fruitless also. Enjoy the bountiful times, and hold on during the sparse times. It is like beginnings and endings, one leads into the other.

The way you use this in your transition is to always stay positive. No matter what things appear to be like they will soon change. I have traveled all over the USA and there is a saying that each community says no matter where I am. “If you don’t like the weather, just wait a minute!” I laugh because it is the same no matter where I go. This is the Law of Rhythm.

Law of Cause and Effect Revisited

by Sequoia Elisabeth

The sixth Universal Law – “The Law of Cause and Effect: “Every Cause has its Effect; every Effect has its Cause.” In accordance with this Law, every effect you see in your outside or physical world has a very specific cause which has its origin in your inner or mental world. This is the essence of thought power. Every one of your thoughts, words or actions sets a specific effect in motion which will come to materialize over time. To become the master of your destiny, you must master your mind for everything in your reality is a mental creation. Know that there is nothing like chance or luck. They are simply terms used by humanity in ignorance of this Law.

Your Desires are Instantly Created: The Law of Cause and Effect applies on all three planes of existence – the spiritual, the mental and the physical. The difference is that on the spiritual plane cause and effect are instantaneous such that they appear inseparable, whereas on the other planes our concept of time and space creates a time lag between the cause and the eventual effect. Know that when you focus on your goals and desires using creative visualization that which you wish to create in the physical world is automatically manifested in the spiritual world, and with perseverance, practice and continued concentrated thought, it will also come to materialize in the physical world.” (Kotsos 2011)

I trust that you can see the value in this 6^th Universal Law. Transitions blog has discussed creative visualization several times and it also talks about mind power or the power of thought. Carrying those discussions forward we now see why the mind has so much power. Cause and Effect can be as simple as dropping a stone (cause) and experiencing the stone falling to the ground (effect). The effect of gravity is an effect because your mind is so fundamentally structured around this effect that it is creating at any hint of cause. So it is not universal law that we have gravity here on earth, it is a universal law that we have cause and effect with which our minds have created Gravity. We could not live here without it. Thus here is your cause. We have gravity because we need it to survive! (Without gravity everything on earth would float off) At some level we need to trust what our minds create for us with this caveat, “All that I see, feel, taste, and otherwise experience are in the Highest and Best Good of me, my community, and the Everyone Everywhere”. Without this caveat the ego mind sends experiences that ensure its (not yours) survival and most of these are contrary to the above statement.

Now that you know that every prayer is answered all you need do is stay focused on that prayer and know in your heart that all is well. Use creative visualization to guide your life using your highest desires. The Universe cares not what you create, but you do! Whatever you are experiencing now is something that you have created either consciously or unconsciously. Depending on where you are in your level of awareness, it may seem like things are happening to you and that other people or things caused them. You are the source of your life – all you experience is effect! Understand the Law of Cause and Effect so that you can move forward in your Journey of Love!

The Law of Gender Revisited

by Sequoia Elisabeth

We are revisiting the 7 Universal Laws which I first blogged about a year ago. These are vital to understanding the Universe and working with life, instead of against it.

There are 7 Universal Laws that apply equally to all things in this universe. The sacred teachings of all traditions touch on these Universal Laws in some way. To better understand these laws and how to apply these to our lives the next seven blogs will be a countdown of 7 Universal Laws. Knowing the law is one thing, applying this law is another thing altogether. Add these tools to your notebook so that the transition journey is all the more fulfilling.

Tania Kotsos in The Seven Universal Laws Demystified lists the seventh law as,

“The Law of Gender: “Gender is in everything; everything has its Masculine and Feminine Principles”. The last of the seven Universal Laws is evident throughout creation in the so-called opposite sexes found not only in human beings but also in plants, minerals, electrons and magnetic poles to name but a few. Everything and everyone contains both the masculine and feminine elements. Among the outward expressions of Feminine qualities are love, patience, intuition and gentleness and of Masculine qualities are energy, self-reliance, logic and intellect. Know that within every woman; lay all the latent qualities of a man and within every man those of a woman. When you know this you will know what it means to be complete.”

Many people would consider this law to include the duality of nature, however this law is about gender only and duality is considered in a different law. This law is about the whole and the aspects of that whole. To express gender fully one must embrace both masculine and feminine energy. The fullness of being contains both.

Let us consider this in regards to people. A man has both energies and expresses masculine energy primarily. Situations will arise that he will need to express feminine energy, for instance while caring for children. In an emergency situation where people are injured and swift action is needed to save lives and respond to environmental stresses the man will need both masculine energy and feminine energy. The injured need the feminine energy of caring and compassion while the swift action and problem solving skills of masculinity will also be necessary. Without both he is not going to be as effective in his response. A woman in the same situation has the same energies at her disposal, but will most likely tackle the situation differently. It is simply a matter of using the same energies differently.

Society needs to get over its identification with men are this way and woman that. There are no rules, unless you make them or accept the rules others offer you! Allow these energies to flow naturally through you and know that all is well.

I will point out here that gender identity is how the brain is wired and follows the same Law of Gender. Transgender individuals are wired such that the traditional male/masculine or female/feminine is reversed. There is nothing “wrong” however; it merely is what it is. Each person is comfortable expressing themself in one fashion or the other. The physical body need not dictate how the individual expresses themself. The important thing is that each individual feels the freedom to allow the Law of Gender to express through them as it needs to.

Honest, Responsible and True

by Sequoia Elisabeth

Today’s Transition Blog considers the words Truth, Responsible, and Honest. Noble words to be sure, but what do they really mean? How do they fit into your life, or to reverse that, how do you fit into the definition of these words? Let us look deeper to get a better feel for these words and the importance they play in everyone’s life.

“Hon·est:

1. Honorable in principles, intentions, and actions; upright and fair: an honest person.

2. Showing uprightness and fairness: honest dealings.

3. Gained or obtained fairly: honest wealth.

4. Sincere; frank: an honest face.

5. Genuine or unadulterated: honest commodities.” (Dictionary.com)

So who embodies these qualities? Do you? Every day in everything you do the opportunity to embody these traits exists, so you make this decision, albeit unconsciously most of the time, to be honest or not. Consider how these actions define you and who they impact the most. It certainly affects those you are dealing with, but more importantly how does it affect you? Honesty is essential to self respect and self worth. Being honorable is an act done for the self and that benefit then flows out to all those involved!

“Re·spon·si·ble:

1. Answerable or accountable, as for something within one’s power, control, or management (often followed by to or for): He is responsible to the president for his decisions.

2. Involving accountability or responsibility: a responsible position.

3. Chargeable with being the author, cause, or occasion of something (usually followed by for): Termites were responsible for the damage.

4. Having a capacity for moral decisions and therefore accountable; capable of rational thought or action: The defendant is not responsible for his actions.” (Dictonary.com)

This is a profound word that touches life everyday in some way. Look closely at these meanings and consider how they impact your life. Have you ever attempted to avoid responsibility? Do you hold yourself accountable for your actions? Do you realize that you are the author of your life? Simply knowing this is a step toward responsibility. We are all capable for rational thought and action, so there is no excuse for denying responsibility!

“Truth:

1. The true or actual state of a matter: He tried to find out the truth.

2. Conformity with fact or reality; verity: the truth of a statement.

3. A verified or indisputable fact, proposition, principle, or the like: mathematical truths.

4. The state or character of being true.

5. Actuality or actual existence.” (Dictionary.com)

This word is the sum total of all other words. It is what is left after all else is removed. This is a very elusive word and experience. In the world of duality Truth seems to shift constantly so that attaining total Truth is almost impossible. It is however the goal. The goal we all aspire to! It is possible Truth is only found after death, but even this is not Truth. Death does not exist! Please understand that most of what you experience in this world is other than Truth, Responsibility, and Honesty!

I aspire to these ideals daily and sometimes I even get close! It is a constant vigil, one that I accept with pride and joy. I bless you on your Journey of Love, may you find the Truth, Responsibility and Honesty you seek!

All I Ask

by Sequoia Elisabeth

Just to clarify, I am calling for the end of all borders, release of the concept of land ownership, religions to let go of any dogma, wall street and the like to be shut down all over the world, and the large organized governments dissolved. The people are free to make their own decisions and create community where they live which is fully by the people and for the people. High value is placed on integrity, authenticity, and mutual cooperation. The concept of Oneness is embraced by every person on earth. Gaia is one being and each of us is a part of the whole. Peace, Perfection and Wholeness are now the rule; there is no need for exception as we have experienced that and see beyond it!

Borders have gone away. We no longer need to define borders as they will shift with the times. The land itself has energy and the people of that land will define it. That space is honored and respected for what it is. Recognized for its inherent value, it will shift and change over time, frequently at first, but eventually becoming constant and harmonious.

Land ownership is absolved. The land belongs to Gaia and cannot be owned, just as any person cannot be owned. It is wrong to enslave people so we will not enslave the earth! Respectful and Grateful ceremony surrounds all use of the land which is taught our children from birth. We learn to work in harmony with the creatures of earth and to use Gaia’s resources with respect and gratitude. All food is raised with loving intent including animals, insects, sea life and the plants. Processing food now means we bless the food and prepare it with care and love. Gaia comes first!

The process of shifting away from ownership is slow, so the house is still owned and so are the objects within, but with an attitude of responsibility and honor. These things serve our needs and are shared freely. If someone needs a roof to protect them for a night, doors open freely and space is shared with respect because all understand the concept of Oneness. What is done on someone else is done to you, and we have evolved to feel it also. If your fellow man is hurt you feel it, if they are Joyous you feel it, these are capabilities innate to our being but have been shut down in the past. No longer do we forgo this gift!

Religions open their doors to everyone and no longer teach separation. The ceremony is preserved but interpreted to reflect Oneness and that particular religions take on it. Other beliefs are respected and not only tolerated but embraced. Many religions merge over time and many are now the few, all with Oneness as their core. Love is taught in churches, schools and in the home. There is no stronger force in the Universe.

Wall Street is shut down because it serves the few and not the many. The financial markets are dissolved as money becomes less and less important in the daily functioning of life. All money is backed by a finite source such as gold, silver or platinum. As such this money is of Gaia and is no longer used as a means of power and control. It is simply a tool to facilitate trade and honor those you love.

Large governments are no longer needed so they are dissolved. The people take responsibility for their own lives and form communities to support one another. Government is truly by the people and for the people – all people equally. Difference is respected and seen as one aspect of the whole. It is our similarities which bind us, but our differences are the sauce that adds value. Just as each cell in the body has a purpose and role to play, so does each person, creature and thing on Earth (Gaia).

Man made laws are no longer necessary because we realize that Oneness precludes law. Each person understands their connection to the whole and to do harm is unthinkable. If it does occur we realize that punishment is inherent in the system, so individuals are not responsible for this. Universal Law operates without any governance and is taught in all churches, schools and homes. It is woven into every story and demonstrated by our very lives. Universal Law is our source. Oneness is its expression.

Money is Energy Continued

by Sequoia Elisabeth

In continuing the story of money as energy and the created economy consider your own situation. How much energy are you attracting? How much energy do you give away or expend? The system always balances itself! The good news is that the system feeds on itself and grows proportionately. You may have heard the Law of Tenfold Return, if not click here for more.

In reality you are an economy of one multiplied by millions! In essence the world is your creation and therefore is an extension of you. Of course your perspective is that of an individual who is separate from the rest of the world. It is really an ingenious design, although it is NOT divine design; unless it is. You see the ego mind is what creates your reality with all its challenges and gifts. When you ask for help from Holy Spirit, it takes what you have created and makes it whole again. This is called the process of for-give-ness.

An object in motion tends to stay in motion. Meaning that once you make a choice life falls into place to support that choice and if you ever wish to choose it again it is that much easier. A good Samaritan for instance is on that tangent and it gets easier and easier to stay on that tangent. One step in the other direction simply negates the energy created so far. Remember the balance? There is also the concept of “guilty by association” which means the energy is contagious and by hanging out with a certain group your energy will tend in that direction, wealthy, criminal, degenerate, upstanding moral, etc.

You are like a magnet for energy! The energy you put out is drawn back to you and by the Law of Attraction – Like attracts Like. Maybe you enjoy hanging out with those of “like mind”? We all do it is natural to be with those who are like you! This does not necessarily mean in appearance although often that is the case also.

Appearance can be a tricky thing and constantly confuses the average person. How can a grimy Homeless man living on the street win the lottery? (and they have!) Because this is not the energy he is putting out. He is probably helping his fellow man, caring of others and at sometime in the past in a position of at least modest means if not wealthy.

Creating money is easy for those who go against the grain and partake in illegal activities. These pursuits always pay off in karmic ways down the line. Remember what you give you receive, or those who live by the sword die by the sword! Enough said.

Money is a tool and it matters not who uses the tool. In this same way energy is a tool, like fabric it weaves life into a beautiful creation. We are quite deep at the moment and I am not sure you get the meaning of this and I find this could easily fill an entire blog (which it has – Tools of the Mind). I will wrap this up here.

One last word here on free money. We have established that money is energy, so this would mean that energy is free right? In essence energy is free, however in this ego based world there is always a balance so this means nothing is free! You might not pay in cash, but it always costs something, even a smile! Do you know the only thing you have more of when you give it away? LOVE (smiles fall into this category).

If you have questions on what I have presented here please write to me and ask. I am happy to clarify anything that puzzles you. Be sure to read the eBooks and articles on this website, Unity in Gender Diversity.

Money is Energy

by Sequoia Elisabeth

“When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change” (Wayne Dyer). Take money for instance, if you change the way you look at or use it, it will change its role in your life. When life is broken down to the base components the finding is that everything is energy. So this means that money is energy too!

What if you stopped looking at money as a burden or distant object that is hard to obtain and instead see it for what it is – energy? The energy components are everywhere but not always compatible which sometimes makes conversion difficult. Energy exists in many forms and in many states so the issue of quality becomes more important than quantity since energy is everywhere. Digitized bits of data are flowing though the air waves right now carrying billions of dollars all over the world – this very cash is flowing through your body! Abundance is our nature.

This world is a free will zone meaning that you have choices and no one can make them for you unless you give them permission to, and this can occur without being aware of it, so take note here. Make your decision consciously! Be aware and make others aware of your view points on money and everything else in the world. Sharing is a good thing.

Going back to money as energy, usually your efforts are converted to money by working or selling something you have. It takes energy either way to make something, provide a service, or share your knowledge. All that you have and do is of value whether a monetary sum is placed on it or not. It is the conscious intent behind what you offer that determines the value (quality), as well as how this action, service or product is received. The principle is what you put in is what you get out.

There is the old saying, something is only worth what someone will give you for it. Of course this does not take into account intrinsic value or implied value or even value added! It takes energy to tighten your face muscles into a smile, this expenditure of energy is free but has value because you are giving energy away! The energy has to come from somewhere, and it does. It comes from either your pocket in the form of food used by your body or it comes from Divine Source. We all know how to get energy from eating, but getting energy from Divine Source is not generally taught. ( I cover this in my eBooks)

They say money does not grow on trees but in fact it does come from trees and everything else in this world. Beside that fact that money is made from paper which comes from trees, energy is constantly changing forms. This is how the barter system works; exchange one form of energy for another.

Self worth is also a big factor in how much energy you attract. If you feel worthy it shows in your actions which are generous and caring. You take the actions necessary to care for yourself and those in your life. We have made this process very complicated these days, but it works either way. You can work to make things, then work to market and sell them, and then use the funds gained to get what you need or study for years to gain the skills for a career and then work for a corporation or small business or you can simply create the things you need. Grow your own food, make your own clothing, etc. One reason commerce exists is because not everyone enjoys creating all things. So we work together to create what brings us Joy and in sharing an economy is created. The market decides how valuable what you create is, but it also comes from you! It is a dual process. I will get into this more on the next blog!

Peace Is Within

by Sequoia Elisabeth

The blog has been less frequent lately because I am out living the dream! I am sure you are as well in your own way. As a Spiritual Peacemaker it is my calling to help others find Peace within. It is important to realize that Peace is always and all ways present. You may or may not be aware of it, but it exists as surely as the air you are breathing. In fact air can be removed, while Peace cannot. For instance Peace exists in outer space while air does not.

One of the best ways I have found to reach Peace is meditation. Many people find meditation difficult and this is because you do not fully understand what meditation is.

First of all let us consider what Peace is. Without dragging out the dictionary, think of Peace as the Spirit within you and all things. It is a still, calm, quiet, serene place but can also be active, forceful, and dynamic. Peace is quite simply the force of Great Spirit, Universal Consciousness or God. We find it calming and comforting because this is our home, our natural state. Finding Peace then is like finding yourself!

Meditation then is a state of thoughtless awareness. Meaning the mind is clear of thought yet keenly aware. It is possible to be aware of something without thinking about it. For example you can be aware of someone without thinking about them. You don’t have to be in a lotus position to meditate, and in fact we meditate all the time, but do not call it meditation. Manual labor or repetitive tasks are the most common ways we slip into meditation.

Physiologically the mind works at various frequencies from 40 to 1.5 cycles per second and represent 4-5 stages of activity, Beta (40-15), Alpha (9-14), Theta (5-8), and Delta High (4-3)/Delta Deep (1.5-2). Meditation usually occurs in the Theta range of 5-8 cycles per second, but can also be a bit higher in the Alpha.

The wee hours of the morning are easiest to reach this meditative state, because the rest of the ego world is sleeping and so the mental or psychic airwaves are calmer and with less disturbance. Many people will rise at 4 or 5 am to do their daily meditation and while this does make the process easier it is certainly not required. I would say if you are just starting the practice of daily meditation, creating the habit of rising early and doing the meditation in the private space of your room can be a great way to center yourself before the day begins.

Meditation can be as short as 10 seconds or can last for days. Typically a person mediates for 30-60 minutes till they get good at it and then they can meditate literally at the drop of a hat. It does take practice and discipline so set aside a few minutes a day at least and get started! For more on meditation see the website, Unity in Gender Diversity. The eBook “Methods of Raising Our Energy” is available there and covers different methods.
