Tidings of Comfort and Joy

Advent from a fifth dimensional perspective

I was called into the fourth dimension because some friends had lost their way there. They entered with a purpose but got attached to some old story and got lost. I went in to get them out.

But it was the time running up to the solstice and I don't think it really matters what or who gets me in there, apparently, during this time, I go.

I have to be careful because all my fears, wounds and shadows travel with me there. The key is not to get attached, not to invest, in anything. In every day life this results in a sort of limbo where many decisions are on hold, directions can change any moment and no position is fixed.

The key is not to get attached and that is why I cannot even see all I do and am until I am done lest I get attached to that image too!

The images that I use to describe the fourth dimension are a translation. They are not exactly what happens, some meaning is lost. It is nonetheless a picture I can paint to show you what I experience. 

First I went to get my friends. It was like a battlefield: lots and lots of destruction. It was like retrieving wounded soldiers from the field of battle. We were carrying off the wounded ones in a chariot. I was tired but there was more to do. Next I went to a different area.

You can imagine this area of the fourth dimension like a town with slightly run down buildings. Not really abandoned but not in its prime, cobbled streets and not a lot of activity. This is the place where the spiritual folk live. In the third dimension it would be called "Half Way". On the road to somewhere but not yet arrived. 

During this Advent period I go around in this town screaming to the half asleep people about a New World and a New Reality. To wake up and follow me because I know the way. The way to the door. For the people of Half Way this door looks like a giant hole. It could be an old store front with the large window knocked out and behind it only darkness. 

In their imagination and folk tales there is a forest behind that hole and nobody knows what lies on the other side. It is true, there is a forest behind it. Quite fairytale like even, but not necessarily friendly. I know I can just walk through it and go home, to the other side. The people of Half Way will have to cross the forest without attaching to the stories it reminds them of, without putting too much attention on and getting carried away to invest into it which will not indeed lead them out of the forest, but will get them lost. It is the spiritual advice that is given when you hear: all you put your attention on grows and don’t invest in negativity etc etc. 

What does this look like for the people in their daily reality? In the period running up to the solstice people might feel as if old patterns reemerge in their lives or as if they encounter misfortune. These are the shadows that are coming to the surface, emerging as outer events. It then depends on how they react to these events within themselves whether they prepare for a vibrational “jump”.

As they prepare for their jump lower energies will start pulling on them. Any story they are invested in will try to keep them on their level since their life force nurtures the story. At the door or hole it is like a battlefield. Lots and lots of destruction. On an energy level there is much chaos and people need to be reminded time and again to stay their course. 

During the days surrounding the Solstice I stand at the hole, urging you to jump through, to not have fear of the darkness. Jump into your black hole. Proceed through the forest, also quite dark. Some people encounter me “by accident” on the street, on the internet, in their dreams. This is me saying: “Jump!”

This dark period asks the question: can you stay on the path of love? Can you face the darkness and separation within yourself and out in the world around you and look deeper and find god and love behind it? Can you accept what you don’t understand? Can you keep your position? Can you breathe when you are scared?

The question “Can you keep your position?” is most often misunderstood in spiritual communities. 

Being on the path of love does not mean accepting abuse or bad behavior from others or not standing for a different point of view when others make decisions. 

When you are allowing abuse of yourself and not stand up for yourself you are not vibrating love as you are a child of god just as “the other”, so sacrifice is useless. 

Having a clear idea about the characteristics and differences between the various dimensions will help you to navigate spiritual truth, energetic and practical life. I teach these differences very thoroughly in my courses but I will explain it through an example here below. 

Accepting everything/ saying yes to everything

Saying yes to anything that life presents us with, honors the flow of life. From the fifth dimensional perspective of unity all is part of the one flow of life and saying no to any of it means stopping a part of the flow, stopping life.

So I need to say YES to everything?

The answer is YES. But there is much more to that than you think. Many people misunderstand this truth because you need to say yes to what the outside world presents and to what the inside world presents equally. 

Let me give you a practical example:

Imagine someone is breaking into your house and trying to steal your tv. Aha you, say: I am going to say yes to anything and allow this person to take away my television.

Now you may feel anger, aggression or resentment welling up inside of you and you want to hit this burglar in the face. Saying yes to everything outside and inside, you might conclude: I am going to hit this person and kick him out of my house preventing my tv from being stolen.

Now, you say, what is the right thing to do? Of course, as is also the case with this example, we don’t always have time to think decisions over. Something has happened and 

we have already reacted in some way and that is always a good moment to say yes to the situation our own reactions included. 

Whenever you have the clarity of mind to think your options over, whether it is in a split second situation or a choice that you can spend a few days on making, realize that you cannot rationalize your way out of it. 

You simply don’t have all the facts. The most loving action might be punching the burglar in the face and preventing him from succeeding in his act. It can also be that the most lovable act is letting him take the tv because his children are hungry or because he would have killed you if you tried to stop him and that would have left you dead and him with a karmic bill to pay.

In no situation do you have all the information necessary to make a fully informed decision. Our universe is simply to complex to be fully understood with our logical minds.

This is the time to be curious and where guidance comes in. Be curious about the perfection of the situation and curious about how your reaction can be most in synchronicity with the flow of life.

If you do not yet have a clear contact with your guidance you can also feel in which direction you can feel the most of a “yes” attitude. Which decision can you make with a “Yes!”?

It is not what you do and not even which words you use that determine if you are expressing LIFE. It is the energy undercurrent that moves you.

The magic of this dark period, where we get the opportunity to face our shadows, is the birth of the light. That as we accept our deepest darkness, gracefully, new light will emerge. Depending on the consciousness with which you engage with the darkness you might experience inner and also outer miracles to just appear.

Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.
