Summary of Brenda’s November 19, 2013 free, 15-minute, channeled “Creation Energies” show at http://www.BlogTalkRadio.com/brenda-hoffman: The
goals of last week’s vehicle creation exercise was a reminder that
creations aren’t permanent and you can create in whatever medium you
wish. Your child-self used to create with freedom and joy. Your adult
dreams are often encased in shoulds. Your new assignment is to create in
your mind your most joyful Thanksgiving or special day.
The title of last week’s “Brenda’s Blog” – her free, weekly, channeled blog for http://www.LifeTapestryCreations.com: “Between Comfort Zones and Fear”
Brenda’s “Creation Energies” BlogTalkRadio.com show and “Brenda’s Blog” contain different channeled information.
Dear Ones,
The media, your community and family encourage you to believe that
most, if not all, of your friends, relatives and neighbors are enjoying a
loving holiday season, that all is wonderful in their lives.
Such is not the case – but deep within the recesses of your being you
feel as if it is. Your belief is that you and you alone are wondering
where love and joy is.
Even though you might have moments of joy and love throughout this
holiday season, you do not seem to have the level of joy others are
displaying.
Perhaps it is difficult for you to decorate, shop and prepare to host
or take part in holiday festivities. It is as if you are watching from
the outside wondering why you feel little or nothing. Or a dull ache of
loneliness as others laugh and party their way to the new year.
Your sense of not fully participating in festivities is more about
your transition than loneliness. You have detached from friends and
relatives in small and large increments. Somewhat like a being from the
outside looking in. Perhaps an old-fashioned snow globe is an apt
analogy – the kind you shake so sparkly snow falls upon the little
village or house within. Even though you enjoy the effects of the globe,
you are not in or of the globe.
Your joy is shifting to different places than the somewhat hollow joy of the traditional holiday season.
Perhaps the phrase, ‘hollow joy’ is not appropriate for you love
family gatherings. So you might and so you can. But many of you feel
less joy than before, or wished you felt, as you participate in this
year’s holiday festivities.
Your Old-Age joy was condensed to a few days near the end of the year
and labeled the holiday season. Even though there were other holidays
and gatherings, those gatherings were not featured throughout your
society as is true for the last few weeks or first few weeks – depending
on your country of origin – of the calendar year. According to society
myth, anger and fear disappear once the holiday season begins only to be
replaced with a loving need to give to others emotionally and
physically.
That myth was never accurate for many – and is especially not accurate now.
Perhaps you used to enjoy the holidays. Perhaps they were a respite
from family disagreements. Perhaps you were alone and lonely. Perhaps
you felt harried and confused. Perhaps you tried to enjoy the holidays
for others. Perhaps you enmeshed yourself in the love and joy that seem
to permeate your world during this period. You always felt something
because your society set an extremely high emotional bar for what you
should feel.
You may feel little or nothing this year. You might enjoy the company
of family and friends – or not. But most likely, you will not muster
the energy of joy, fear, anger or disdain that carried you through
previous holiday seasons.
You have not become a zombie, Instead, you are declaring yourself
independent of society dictates. You are reclaiming your right to be.
That does not mean you must stop loving during this time or that your
love is limited to a day or two a year. But instead, that you are
beginning to feel holiday joy throughout the year. No longer do you need
to have a few days a year set aside for love. No longer do you need to
care for others or to be nice so others can enjoy the holidays.
You are not tied to society shoulds. You are a free agent.
If you wish to share holiday joy, please do so. It is indeed a lovely
time of year for many. But do not be pressured into feeling something
that is society driven – whether joy, angst or sadness. It is not your
holiday season, it is society’s holiday season.
Your new holidays are every day you wish to experience joy. Create festivities that fit your joy, interests and needs.
In the Old Age, joys were limited to a few days to help you remember
what joy was – a dictate that was only appropriate if you felt joy. Many
of you were depressed or sad because your (society) expectations did
not meet your reality.
You can now declare “the king wears no clothes.” That the hype around
the holidays may be wonderful for some, but not all. That it is
perfectly appropriate to not celebrate the holidays, to do so in a
different way or to shift the shoulds to fun.
Holiday shoulds are no different from any other should. They were designed to herd you into a pen of assimilation.
Perhaps you feel this message spoils your holidays. Such is not true.
We are merely pointing out that some of you are preparing for the
holidays with dread, sadness or feelings of “just more work.” None of
which speak to joy.
Why are you not encouraged to feel holiday spirit in March or August? Why are holidays limited to a few days each year?
Of course there are holidays throughout the year with different
feelings of joy perpetuated by your society. But because you should feel
joy on a specific day does not mean you have to – you can feel loving
joy when you wish.
As you distance yourself from your 3D world, you will find it more difficult to feel what society tells you that you should.
Perhaps you are now feeling sadness or loneliness when none is
warranted. You are creating a new life of joy not encased in society
shoulds – including holidays and other occasions.
You are free to declare joy when you wish. The same is true for
sadness. Your new feelings are generated from within you – not society.
Review your joy and sadness to discover their origins – society’s or
inner-directed?
Do you find it delightful to shop for Christmas gifts on Thanksgiving
Day? Then do so. Are you shopping for Christmas gifts on Thanksgiving
Day because you are so harried with holiday preparations you need to
crunch the holidays together? Then perhaps you wish to review your need
to fill society dictates. So be it. Amen.
