Welcome to apple pie playground where we serve up slices of healing for the heart. Stay tuned for a journey of transformation back to the divine inner child. Can you come out and play today? Welcome everyone to Apple Pie Playground. I'm your host, Valerie.

It's so wonderful to be here with you today. Shout out to BBS for all your good work on behalf of our show. We love you indeed, BBS. This week has been something of an energetic roller coaster, hasn't it, friends? And if you are grieving over the emotional events of this week with the passing of Charlie Kirk, you are not alone.

And if we're able, holding the balance of compassion and peace is our heart's courage this week. And let's continue offering the world the the gift of unifying intentions in this way. Your courage matters more than you know right now, And I wanna thank you and love you for refusing judgment and blame and choosing to harmonize the energies flowing through humanity right now. And we fill our hearts with light right now together. So I have to say that I received something of a message very loud and clear this week in, in my reflection, and I took it to heart.

And so the message was to teachers to be careful how we instruct. Because, you know, when we think about it, spirit already instructs each and every one of us in what we need to know if we pay attention. And since that's true, external teachers don't really need to take over for the work of the heart. And so, essentially, that was the message, very powerful for me. And let me say that one of the things that we're tuning ourselves into is listening to our own spirits and the return of remembrance and our knowing, and nothing is gonna replace that kind of information, friends.

And we'll talk about why today. So please please don't let me offend anyone by sharing touch points for conversation and reflection. My goal really is to create, a genuine curiosity in the topics we share together so that it motivates questions and conversation. And that that even includes respecting the mourning of Charlie Kirk as well this week because it's, you know, it's really no coincidence that the timing of his tragedy correlates to nine eleven. Have we thought about that?

Have we considered that our battle is not of the flesh, friends, but against principalities? Right? Rulers of the darkness of this world. Will we ever learn what empowers us, what unifies us, or do we keep repeating the torments of a dark agenda over and over again until we choose ourselves first? And so many are seeing the event of Charlie Kirk's passing as a really profound ripple across human consciousness that it has literally caused an energetic shift in human consciousness.

Huge waves of human energetics this week for sure. I'm sure that many of us have felt that. It's sort of energy that feels like it's it's welling up and rolling out across a a stream, of energy and out into the cosmos. I know that's certainly what I've been feeling. So let's talk about it if we can, and we'll be gentle and compassionate if we're able to.

And I suppose a a good place might be, to start asking, a few questions about what actually is a shift in consciousness. So as we think about that, we can put together something of a definition, And, we can think about an energetic shift as something that occurs when an event creates such an intense shared ripple of experience. Call it a delta or a moment of measurable change. It's it's an event so profound that it causes everyone to stop in their tracks, to drop their guard and be affected by the event, and to do that in a way that changes people's worldview. It's something of a pulse of alignment of our reality, a shift in consciousness.

And the world changes with that kind of event like it did on 09/11. The world changed that day. The delta changes society so broadly across humanity so profoundly that the shared perception of reality is jarred just enough to instantly alter consciousness. It's a matter of numbers and a matter of impact, and it's a matter of alignment. It's it's a collective shift in perception of our reality.

Right? And so we might ask, how sustained will our mass awareness be as a result of a shift like, you know, like the one that we we had this week? Will the shock unify us in greater clarity of a new worldview? Will our behavior change, our outlook, our focus, our awareness, our determination to change course for a better world. You know, it's it's about course correction, and that starts with the intentions of our hearts.

And we look at things like how will our collective efforts improve the human experience because of the event that we've undergone, you know, to grow from it, to alter the way we do business, to reform the way we do politics. How about that one? To improve our social systems. How will our leaders embrace a better way forward? How will competing parties and and combative people unify through something like this?

It will matter, friends. It it always does. And this time, we are profoundly positioned to embrace this shift in a very positive way. We are ready. We are ready to receive it.

Okay? We are ready. So I guess a question would be, what does real lasting change take in a shift like this? So is the shift the change itself? I mean, is that what a shift does?

Well, part of it, yes. A shift stops us collectively in our tracks and forces us to take notice. You know, what do we see? It's a social reconstruction of reality, and we make collective decisions and energetic decisions. One thing is for certain, we are moving forward as a culmination of the choices we make through this shift.

And the positive change is going to take you, friends. It's gonna take all of us, holding space for change with peaceful behavior, modeling compassion, forgiveness. You are the way showers. Okay? Holding the line and holding the light, holding intention for a better world.

You are key to a shift success. So be courageous, friends. Hold the light. Hold the light. Hold the line.

And I suppose we'll see how well we unify, right, how actively we can come together to heal each other, and then we'll know what kind of progress we've made. And if we can be open to it today, maybe let's talk a little about how important it is recovering from the pain and suffering from this kind of experience and how meaningful it might be to the process of our enlightenment, our, you know, our our evolution, our realignment with the celestial. Recovery matters in a situation like this when it comes to shifting into greater conscious awareness. And we're gonna talk about forgiveness a little bit and its place in recovering and healing. You know, the biggest shift in our consciousness is gonna come probably from our work unifying and healing from the shock of this week.

And the longevity of our progress will be in the healing and the unifying and the alignment that we embrace. So let's let's offer our compassion for all of humanity right now on every side as much as we can. Let's commit to doing that right now. Let's practice forgiveness and aid in the healing as best we can as a work of the heart. Please please keep in mind, especially during times like these, that our good work is as it's essential good work to fill our bodies with light.

Right? It is what needs to be done each and every day, right, to stay full of the light that we fill our bodies with. That effort in itself transmutes darkness, friends. It transmutes darkness into light. As we create this spiritual balance, we invite the light into our body.

And there is self control in that, and there is alignment. And that leads to equanimity and harmony and peace, and we become immovable. And we are transforming dark to light in that act of filling our bodies with light, pulling in our spirit into our body, it is of the greatest effect that we focus on that intention as fully as possible right now. If I sound really adamant about it, I am. I am as adamant as Christ was, as Christos energy is right now.

It is the message of the day, friends. Fill our body with our spirits. Fill it with light. It is so powerful in in the events like we've experienced this week. It is your gift to the events unfolding right now And how we all harness the flow of our energies with intention, that is so important.

So thinking about it, how do we really approach harmonizing our energy field going through what we've gone through together as humanity this week? If there was a shift in consciousness, how do we transform the shock or the pain or the fear into a lasting peace for us? You know, what does it take for a mass awakening? Well, when we think about, you know, this week, we might ask, how do we transform that kind of a shock into a bonafide series of changes for the better? I mean, how much can we really do, and what might that be?

I mean, how empowered are we determined to be is the question. And maybe before we answer that, we wanna consider something very important that maybe not enough people are talking about it. And that is, you know, these delta change points that we experience, like the one we experienced this week, like nine eleven was, they are as easily captured by bad actors as they are good ones. Nine eleven was captured by the dark, friends. It was captured by the dark.

Right? It was a shift captured by the dark. Our world became jaded and suspicious and hateful and warring and divided and dark, and you name it, didn't it? Our world unified with beautiful goodwill and palpable unconditional love for how many months? Six months?

A beautiful year maybe? And then what happened? The dark captured the shift. So we have to ask, and we have to meditate on the question, what does it take for the light to capture a shift? And whatever it takes, we agree that it matters.

Right? And it will take every single one of us in the effort. It will take us doing our part as many of you are doing this weekend, and it's so beautiful. And thank God for you and your good work on behalf of humanity. So what will it take in us to move Earth's evolutionary course?

Let's talk about it. And I asked myself, what will it take for me to marry the energies of this week to positive change? And a few things surfaced for me. It's gonna take clarity, friends. We need to get real with ourselves.

We get real clear with ourselves about whose agenda has been controlling our world, the tragedy on this planet, and we start observing. And we ask ourselves, how are we feeling about what we're seeing, and why do we feel that way? We lean into our clarity. Confusion is a dark hole to be resisted as is chaos and noise. So let's get quiet and reflect and find our clarity.

And when we're clear about things, our view isn't muddied by emotion or deception or influence. Right? We are clear in our intentions, and we receive the light of source fully into us with that clarity. There is no doubt. There is no imperfection in what we receive perfectly from our source.

Clarity gives us that. And, also, it's it's gonna take forgiveness for others. We may not even like and for ourselves for sure. In fact, forgiveness is as an intention, a key expression here for our human collective shift right now. It's the other side of a very important coin that we carry around spiritually if you think about it.

You know, one side is being accountable, and the other side is the intention that we take into our behavior. And those two things are our human growth. They balance our mental health and our hearts. Our alchemy flows through the balance of those two sides of a spiritual coin as it were, and we flow best in the habit of being accountable for our behavior. Our journey, our good work needs the reflection of our intentions and the accountability of of that action in motion.

We are in the times of great transformation. Our actions reveal our intentions, whether we realize it or not. And we step forward together to to realign in light. Right? And we do it right now, friends.

We step forward right now together to realign our intentions in the light. It's 1 coin with two sides, intention and action, and our balance requires both. And so what else will it take to maintain a shift in a positive direction? Well, it's gonna take releasing. It's gonna take release energy, letting go of what might fill us with unhelpful emotions and unfriendly judgments.

And we see that all across social media this week. You know, the the negative energy that gets in the way of shifting into a unifying experience. It can get in the way so, so easily if we don't release. Can we fill ourselves again with spirit that can rest in energetic stasis with balance and compassion after this week's kind of events? Well, not if the sacred cup is already full of painful things.

Right? We have to empty and refill, friends, as a sacred act, a restorative act, the act of renewal. And so we realcomize our bodies with restoration, right, for our spirit's sake, and we do it now. We release. We release now, and we realcomize our bodies with restoration for our spirit's sake, and we do it now.

Right? And another thing it's gonna take is courage. Are we determined to help our family, our friends, our leaders do the integrative things, the compassionate things, the peaceful things? Are we brave enough to demand expansive behaviors that unify rather than divide us? Are we willing to push unity to the front of our conversations, our behaviors, our meditations?

And so we align now. We reclaim our freedom again in that unity, and we align through courage to reclaim our freedom again. So those are some of the things that come to mind when I think about moving such a dramatic change in our reality into a positive shift, and I just wanted to share those together. You know, a turning of events really did shift the world this week. It shifted humanity.

And, you know, can we sustain the change in conscious awareness? The world stopped. It stopped moving. And the question is, what will we do with that moment of intense consciousness that came to us? You know, we can move forward if we don't allow the dark to claim the experience.

Right? And the idea is behavior that produces integration and expansion, And we refuse stepping back into the darkness. We refuse it. We will not allow it, and we will move into the light. Right?

And that is our intention. And so I guess with that, a question might be, what what is our responsibility to our spiritual creation energy in a time like this? And, you know, in times like these, for example, when the universe shifts, how responsible are we to engage that shift and evolve it into progress? I mean, how willing are we to to leave it up to God to do all the work? I mean, are we willing to step back and say, wow, that was tragic.

It was horrible, and I feel terrible. And at the risk of offending my dear friends, you know, is it the same as it was two thousand years ago? How willing were we then to allow the sacrifice of a Christ and his family and followers during a time when the world left the shift entirely up to him? Will we do that again? This time, this shift, and there are many shifts.

I mean, there are many, many shifts that move us one way or the other, many shifts that we experience, we've experienced in our own lifetimes. Right? And the question is, when do we sit up and get up and participate? Right? Are there too many bystanders in this age?

Are there too many couch potatoes? And and I think about this a lot. Sometimes, I think the modern American couch, this the the the cushiony sofa that's so comfortable, it's the most dangerous invention of this age. I mean, never mind AI and technology and all of that stuff. I mean, that cyborg kind of stuff, I think maybe you know, forget about the the AI.

I think the couch is probably the most dangerous thing we have right now. So, you know, when you think about it, it used to be just just a a little note here. It used to be that chairs really were not all that comfortable. And why is that? Well, because nobody sat in them for very long.

Right? They were utilitarian, but not anymore. Nope. We can lounge for days on a nice cozy couch. That's for sure.

It's just an observation, but but it's one that I think about. It's one that may matter. So how many of us believe with that, you know, we're not really meant to take on the burdens of source energy right now? I mean, this was a this was a a cosmic shift. It is an alignment of the galaxy.

It is it is an alignment of the stars. Do not doubt that. Do not doubt that. But, you know, we might ask ourselves, you know, do we really have any responsibility here for something so big? I mean, we're here in this human body, in this physical state.

We're we're so limited. Right? And I'm sort of smiling when I when I say that because the fact is we are eternal beings of light. We are sovereign in our spirits. We can do whatever we want.

Right? It's it's our dream. Each of us has a dream, and we're dreaming it now. And we can do whatever we want to in it. And so as sovereign beings, we can say, well, we'll just do the best we can and try to have a decent life and be grateful, and it's what humans do.

Right? And we keep our heads down, maybe, and we follow the rules, and we say, well, what what else could anybody really expect? Because, you know, life is a tough game. Right? It's it's not easy down here, and that's for sure.

And after all, you know, how could the spiritual evolution of an entire planet of people depend on me? Right? I mean, it's a fair question. And a lot of deeply feeling folks agree. Many say that our experience of source as a human experience really comes with no strings attached.

So the big question is, and I mean the big question is, how do we shift into our ascension when we can't even decide how much investment to put into a collective consciousness? It's it's a big question. It must be asked. Right? And is that a danger?

Getting the wrong answer. Is there a wrong answer? I mean, when we believe we're down here dealing with being our human selves and and and maybe God is responsible for the rest of it, is that a danger? You know, we think source manages the the really heavy lifting. Right?

And and our earth spirit manages the, you know, the rest of of sustaining life. And what do we do? Well, we put ourselves on a timeline, and we walk into old age increasingly labored by limitations. And God bless us, and we say our prayers. Right?

And is that how we live in in a in a body that houses a spark of source itself? I mean, it is easy to see our weakness for separating ourselves from a powerful god. Right? You know, we we would be powerful if we were really godlike. Right?

Is that what we think? I mean, if I were really godlike and not human down here on Earth, maybe I could do a little more about the horrible things going on. Right? And it's in the back of our mind all the time. But I have to ask you, please, please, friends, do we see the slippery slope in that?

Do we see it? Do we slide right on down that slope of of imperfection and limitation? And our spirit just says, bye bye. I I I don't know where I fit in with a body that conceives of itself in such a limited way. Right?

And we start believing our mortality, our separation from all that is, all that is source. And mortality is a big word. It's like staring into Macbeth skull of mortality. It's super powerful as an analogy. It's it's memento mori.

Right? The skull as an analogy of death and its permanence. And we think of death as the the great equalizer, which which it is, but that can trip us up a bit. Right? Our beloved Shakespeare.

But he also said something else, friends. He said, do as the heavens have done. Forget your evil. With them, forgive yourself. Pray you now forget and forgive.

It is in pardoning that we are pardoned. And so I think about that, and I think maybe it's a fitting starting place for humanity right now after the the shock of what might be a a real shift in our reality, maybe. Right? We determine that we will forget all evil and extinguish its grasp, and we will do it now. We forget all evil.

We extinguish its grasp. And we know that Christ said the same things about forgiveness, and he said it over and over again. As a matter of fact, Christ was fairly adamant in his assessment of how connected we actually are to our source by our choices and intentions. And, you know, old texts actually record him using the word blasphemy in the strongest terms possible, and they were, in fact, very strong terms. And Christ is recorded as saying, he who blasphemes against the father will be forgiven, and he who blasphemes against the son will be forgiven.

But he who blasphemes against the holy spirit itself will not be forgiven either on earth or in heaven. So let's be clear. Christ didn't really talk in terms of what's good or bad most of the time. Okay? He talked in terms of what's forgivable.

He was big on forgiveness. Forgive them for they know not what they do. Very, very big on forgiveness. Our intentions perfect our spirits in these bodies, friends. What we offer of ourselves, how we act, what comes out of our hearts, it proves God's forgiveness as we course correct in these bodies.

So why such extreme reaction from Christ to the idea that we would believe ourselves separate entities from God, limited and imperfect? You know, what could possibly have to have you know, what does that have to do with forgiveness? And why is refusing the energies of source into our bodies, even as a matter of a belief system, why is that so offensive to Christ? And we might ask ourselves, you know, what is the Holy Spirit? It's a big topic.

It's very dense. It's it's got a lot of lore of ancient texts and celestial characters and, you know, characters that personify ideas, like wisdom and intuition and the tree of knowledge. You know, the Holy Spirit is essentially an identifier for the living information of source itself. Truth that binds us all together in creation, the spirit holy remembers what is the beingness of the one. And as we move out into many creations, the holy knowledge or truth of the one is held intact.

It's the life giving knowledge of God, the Holy Spirit. It is what generates our manifestations by the intentions we have. It's the propulsion of creation, the vessel of our inspirations and superpowers. That is spirit holy. We've just forgotten, friends.

And Christ was the power of a very directed source. He was the intention or action of source's inspiration that is Sofia or the muse of the knowledge of the one, of the source at its inception in infinity. And the two married, and it was the source of his superpowers as a human, Christ and Sofia. And, essentially, Holy Spirit provides the power behind that, and the spirit acts. And that's sort of the best I can do to explain, and I hope that I didn't offend.

And, yes, Christ was something of a superhero, essentially. You know? Whatever we conceive the Holy Spirit to be though, it was part of Christ, and he valued its gifts, its supplications. And we can value them. And he relied on those superpowers as it were that he had coming directly from the powers of the one that is our source.

And it's no different from you as you remember yourselves. So hold your knowing close friends. Divine truth is well, it's a mortar for building our remembrance and knowing and peace and know God and know your peace. And, you know, Christ had many points to make in his teachings, and this was one adamantly offered. It's something of a stern touch point for appreciating the one truth that we can depend on, the inseparable nature of source inside us as the spirits we are.

And so I guess maybe for folks who are more more into, you know, science and the scientific idea of things, I guess, as an architecture, Holy Spirit is a partner and mother to our quantum field, you know, all of it together. As an energy, holy spirit is maybe an energetic resonance, pure energetic resonance of source knowledge itself. We can think of it as a guide tone, we call it in music. It's the energetic umbilical cord, so to speak, of our beingness. Some of us see God's unfolding as something of a birth filled with maternal imagery.

And in this birth was the sparking of source power that imagined light beings in its self creation and imagined a source consciousness, if you will, birthing itself into an unfolding of beingness, a spark of which, by the way, is you. The birth of creation offered you its spark. Do we understand that, friends? It offered you sacred life and soul and spirit as you were imagined by first creations of which we are all part. You are miraculous, friends.

I keep telling you that. How many of you will believe? And to have the spark of source is the most beautiful thing ever imagined. It is so magnificent, and you are so magnificent. Why would you allow a dark world force you into being anything other than God's light?

Why would we do that? Well, when we refuse the knowledge that spirit brings to us, we refuse the lifeline. We refuse the eternal light. We refuse the alignment of our stars. When we choose not to know what is true, not to act on what is true, not to be guided by intentions of the heart, we have cut ourselves off from the nurturing of the womb of God, from the care offered to us from our safe harbor, friends, in the eternal.

And there was nowhere for Christ to go with people who refused the nurturing of source, friends. Can we see that? There is no saving a man who wills himself to be merely mortal. I'm so sorry to say, friends. It's it's why the light is beaming down on us or through us energetically right now as a lighthouse to stir the hearts of mortal man to the remembrance of our eternal natures.

And that's so important. Unfortunately, the dark has manipulated us into forgetfulness and distraction and separation and the limitations of mortality. And our only way back into the light is by reaching for knowing that comes to us like a lifeline through our spirits. And Christ saw it as unforgivable to reject such a necessary, a desperately necessary lifeline between our hearts and God. It is truly the only unreconcilable act a man can commit, friends.

And that's very deep and perhaps disturbing, but it is truth as best as I can share it for your consideration. So I suppose, the idea leads us to thinking about how we measure our lives. Are we measuring our beingness against something of a temporal marker called life? And are we allowing the definition to include things like suffering and imperfection and death? Those things don't help us to feel very godlike after all, do they?

And so are we projecting the god in us as a limited force because, you know, we we can't really feel any capacity for perfection? Is that why so many of us get angry with God? And we say, why does God allow so much suffering? And how could God watch the world crumble and do nothing? And, you know, what have we done here with these ideas that flow so freely in a mind that is in so much pain?

And, you know, how small and how finite really have we made ourselves, and therefore, we have made God. Right? How finite have we made the source of all creation? To see source, you know, the way some of us see ourselves as humans, you know, humans who die, who have this idea of of one life, and that's it. And it's always kind of confusing for me personally just to listen to our religious teachers, you know, who talk about a powerful, almighty, eternal God, and then tell us we have this one little life to live for God.

And if we get it wrong, then we're we're separated eternally, and it's it's so painful. It's terrifying. Rather than hearing a majestic message that we are immortal beings having a human experience as part of what God does experiencing us. Right? Experiencing this part of itself.

And, I mean, what would you rather hear? So that psychological separation kind of sinks into our belief systems and probably produces a lot of the belief systems, and we know why. It keeps us in control. Right? It tempers it our search for our true selves and our essential selves, our true natures.

And we replace our eternal natures and our essential energetic selves with finite beliefs, and and we make ourselves small, and we make source god of everything as small as we are. And it is simply incomprehensible to a being like Christ that we could consider such things even in his great capacity for compassion, which he had. There was a line in the sand against which he measured the nature of a person's heart, and he knew that beliefs won't allow us to know a source God inseparably, especially if they are so very limiting. And how dangerous our teachings have become, right, when we were shamed for identifying as God, how dangerous such a belief is, how lost we become believing things that are said behind podiums in the name of God that separates us from our source. You know, the deepest chasm of our spirits, you know, the the the deepest darkness our spirits could possibly face is one of separation, and yet it's there for us in the belief systems of the religions that we practice in some ways.

So look out on the world. It is an effort of everything in our physical world to keep us separated. And, you know, it is an observation that religion plays into that dark spiral in in many different ways. And the truth is there are no secrets that will not be revealed, friends. There are no secrets from source.

There are no secrets between spirits. There are no secrets between souls co creating universes. We can't hide from God because we are the experiencing of our source itself. That experience will become more and more intimate as we grow in our spirit inside our bodies. And, yes, we were lost then in biblical times, and we were found, friends.

We were forgiven of all things as though they are no more. Then as now, we were found by the lifeline Christ brought to us. Okay? The lifeline is here for us now too, and we wanna grab it. We wanna we wanna hold on for our lives, friends.

We wanna refuse limitations of mortality and and have the courage that that God has you. But it takes action. Right? It takes knowing. It takes intention.

What comes out of us is our truth. Right? It is our testament to our trust and source consciousness, and then we take action on that. And so if we have peace friends, share peace. If we feel love, share love.

Be called to walk humanity toward healing. Right? We were lost, friends. We were almost lost this time around. But, you know, to to quote a phrase, there is there's really nothing lost that might be found if sought.

Right? And there is great effort right now to pull us into our as a unified humanity, and we're gonna be determined. We just won't accept anything less. We just won't accept anything less. Let's determine that where we go one, we go all, friends.

Let's determine that. And, you know, just as something of an aside, about being lost and being found again, right, as spirit, we think about the laying on of hands. And have you seen that? It's a baptism of sorts. It's not a baptism of water.

It's a it's an energetic kind of a flow of energy, a laying on of hands of a of a person. And some spiritual practices, ancient practices used to practice this, and and some practices, you know, still survive. And it's it's the blessing of someone and purifying their energies, and it it was very, very powerful. It is very powerful now. Right?

It's what some people actually still consider the effects of the Holy Spirit. Right? Fun fact. Right? The Holy Spirit is is is in some realms, right, in some spirit spiritual realms thought to be the energies of the most loyal angels in the realm of source.

Right? Just a little fun fact there. And we've talked about catharsis before and energetic purification. We talked about it a little bit last week. And who's to say, but it makes for great reflection.

Right? The idea that spirit of the purest form, the holy of spirits, if you will, pure powerful energies are tethered to you and can flow to you, right, and from you. And this is the encouragement of Holy Spirit as it does its good work between us and among us, saying we got you. Right? We got you.

We've got you, friends. And that's a powerful, powerful message. So wow. Lots and lots of heavy duty thoughts coming our way today and a lot of ideas that we shared together that might take courage for us to to sit together and and meditate on. And I'm so very grateful that you're here with me doing that.

Things are not so easy sometimes to think about, but they're so very important and liberating once we decide that we will think through and feel through some ideas, and it's a very powerful thing for us to do in our evolution of consciousness. And so thank you so much for being with me to do that kind of thing today. And I wonder if I could turn our attentions a little bit to an activity before we leave each other's company this afternoon, and maybe let's spend some time with a Dixit card. That might be a good way to to end our time together and to do something creative and release a little bit of the the tensions of what we've been talking about. So just to describe a disc a Dixit card, it's an image or a scene that we build with our minds, right, just to observe what comes up for us and reflect on what our subconscious might be thinking or feeling.

And we use it as sort of a fun way to get in touch with our thinking and our thought processes and sort of see what it reveals. It gives us opportunity to see what might be affecting us or trying to get our attention, you know, below the surface of our conscious thought process. So today, let's build a scene that is very, very simple. Okay? In fact, you are going to fill the scene almost entirely with your own imagery.

Okay? Notice everything you can populating your imagination as we build this scene together. So here's our scene. Okay? You are at a table.

Okay? You are at a table, and you are there to perform a task that you have been wanting to do for a very, very long time. Okay? So do you see yourself at the table, and are you thinking about a task that you have been wanting to do for a very long time? Is it coming to your mind?

And there may be a couple of tasks, And so you'll need to choose which task you would like to perform at the table. Okay? Now the table has many drawers, many, many drawers all around you, and many, many shelves all around you. Lots of drawers and lots of shelves, and they are full of items. Okay?

They are full of items that you might need to perform your task. And so I wanna ask, are you smiling right now as you as you think about being there at your table? Are you smiling? Are you feeling something else that maybe isn't a smile? How does your body feel to see this table in front of you?

Right? What are on the shelves? Take a look. Take a look at one of the shelves there. What's on that shelf?

What's on that shelf? What are in the drawers? Take a second and open one of those drawers. What do you see? What's in there?

What's in that drawer? And so now you're at the table. You're looking around at what's on the shelves, what's in the drawers. And so now you're ready to start your task. And so you reach for a couple of important things, a couple of important items that you need to get your task started.

What are those things that you reach for? What are you reaching for? And how do you feel reaching for those items to get started with your task? And what do your surroundings look like? Where are you?

Where are you doing this task? Is it somewhere you know? Is it somewhere new that your mind has created? Is it a meaningful space that you're in? And are you alone, or are you with someone else?

So as you begin your task, what are the first actions that you take to begin this task that you are doing right now? Do you have the tools you need? Are they with you, and are you beginning the first steps of this task? Is there anything missing that you might need that you can't find? What do you hear while you're doing your task?

What do you hear in the background? Are you sitting or standing? And are you comfortable as you're working? And as you think about it, what will your end product be when you're finished with your task? What are you making, or what are you doing?

What is your end product gonna look like? What will you do with the thing that you're making once you're finished? What will you do with this thing that you're making? Is this thing for you or somebody else? Do you feel rushed like you have to hurry and finish, or are you able to take your time?

And what time of year is it? Is there a window you can look outside and see what the weather's like? Is it now? Is it today? Is it some other time?

So now it's time to stop work for today. You've just gotten started, but it's time for us to stop today. And and we might wanna reflect on the question, do you wanna come back and finish up later? And so the question is, how will you leave your space? And it's totally up to you how you leave your workspace.

And so coming back together, let's think about our imaginings. How were our imaginings? Did you choose a task that was something like a hobby or a craft? Did you choose a task that was something maybe you had to do, you had to get done, but maybe you were putting it off? When our free time puts a table before us to use like that, we might ask ourselves, how do we take advantage of that free time?

And do we make time for the tasks we'd prefer to do in our day or our week? And we might ask, do we allow ourselves time to be creative and inventive and artistic, and why or why not? Just some things to think about. And so I wanna thank you for participating with me today in our Dixit card. I hope this week brings levity and calm and offers you a a chance for creative expression.

Our greatest wisdom might actually come from allowing the heart to create its imaginings, you know, when we think about it. So as we part, friends, let's look forward to unifying our voices in the coming weeks, to homecomings that bring us together over lifetimes of searching for each other so that we can cocreate together a better world in this life. And what an emotional plea, and we will trust in all that is holy to deliver us as we offer our good work alongside a loving source to envision a new earth and what it can unfold in front of us and to wake in a dream enlightened by our efforts at peace and unity and love. Let's agree that we align now. We fill with light now, and we cast the dark away by our union and by our unity.

We are unbound. So until next week, friends. You have all my love. And thank you, BBS Radio. You have all my love too.

Please be gentle with your heart space, friends. It is such a beautiful, beautiful place to allow your spirit to reside. And so until next time, you have all my love. Time to head home, friends. Thanks for being a part of today's journey.
