Give it Up! A Call to Release and Embrace Higher Consciousness

Give up everything you know, everything you think you know, or knew…

This is not a surrender into the unknown with fear, but rather a call to release the bonds of what no longer serves you.  As we ascend into higher realms of consciousness, we must be willing to shed the skin of our past perceptions, ideologies, and beliefs.  We have outgrown these old constructs—like clothing that is too tight for our expanding light body.  It is time to release them.

Why give it up?

Imagine a hot air balloon.  It cannot rise until you let go of the sandbags that weigh it down.  In the same way, your mind, your body, and your spirit must unburden themselves from the dense energies that come from holding on to limiting beliefs.  These beliefs often come from the human experience—whether learned from society, family, or personal hardships—and they are tethering you to a lower vibration.

As you release these old energies, you will rise effortlessly.  There is no force in this ascension, no effort beyond the act of letting go.  You must give up everything you know, everything you think you know, so that you can begin to know and understand the world you and I are moving into.

A New World Awaits

We are on the cusp of a great shift—a quantum leap in consciousness, if you will.  This shift is not happening to us; it is happening through us.  As each of us sheds our old skins and steps into our light, we become beacons for others to follow.  In this new world, the structures of fear, control, and limitation no longer have a place.  What awaits is a dimension of love, unity, and infinite possibility.

Although I am teaching you the expectations you may encounter…

My role, dear one, is to act as your guide.  I have been privileged to glimpse the horizons that you are now approaching.  I have walked the path before you and have felt the subtle shifts of energy, the inner callings of the heart, and the deep knowing that everything is connected in divine order.

However, I want you to understand that while I can guide you, you must still choose to walk this path.  It is a bit like me going ahead of you as a sherpa or guide, seeing and feeling so much, hearing and sensing the energetic currents that you are just beginning to notice.  I can show you the way, but your journey, your growth, and your understanding are uniquely yours.

Surrendering to Higher Wisdom

Surrendering is often mistaken for weakness.  But in truth, it is one of the most powerful acts of strength.  When you surrender to the flow of the Universe, you allow yourself to be carried by divine wisdom.  Surrendering is not passive—it is the active choice to trust in something greater than yourself.  It is the act of relinquishing control, of letting go of the ego’s need to “know” and instead allowing the wisdom of your higher self to guide you.

In this act of surrender, you align with the higher frequencies of 5D consciousness.  It is in these higher realms that miracles become the norm, where synchronicity flows effortlessly, and where your true soul purpose can be realized.

We are all connected by the same tide…

Imagine the ocean.  Just as the tide lifts all the ships in the harbor, you, too, have the power to lift everyone around you by simply being in your light.  You do not need to force anything; your presence alone is enough.  When you surrender to your higher calling, you become like the tide—lifting everyone in your field with ease.

This is the magic of our interconnectedness.  As you rise, so do others.  As you heal, so does the collective consciousness.  Your light, when it is fully realized, ripples outwards in ways you cannot even fathom.  This is the power of the tide.  You are the tide, and your light raises the energy of all those around you.

You can be like the tide—raising all the ships in the harbor

Let go of the need to “do” and focus on “being.” The mind will often tell you that you must act, that you must control outcomes, or that you must “help” others.  But in truth, the most powerful thing you can do for others is to embody your highest light.  Your vibration alone will shift the energy of the people, places, and situations around you.

You don’t need to push others to ascend; you only need to ascend yourself.  In your light, others will be inspired to follow.  In your peace, others will find peace.  In your truth, others will find the courage to live theirs.

The Great Unlearning

Part of giving it up is unlearning everything that you thought was true about the world, about yourself, and about reality.  You are not who you thought you were.  You are much more.  You are an infinite being having a human experience, and as you begin to shed the illusions of this third-dimensional reality, you will start to remember your true nature.

The process of unlearning can be uncomfortable.  It challenges the ego.  It forces you to confront old wounds and release attachments.  But this unlearning is necessary.  It clears the space for the new—new wisdom, new understanding, new ways of being that are in alignment with the higher dimensions.

The Path of the Heart

As you give up what no longer serves you, you will begin to see with the eyes of the heart.  The heart, not the mind, is the gateway to higher consciousness.  The mind has its place, but it is the heart that knows.  The heart is the portal through which divine wisdom flows.

The heart does not cling to the past or worry about the future.  It is always present, always in the now.  It does not need to control or manipulate.  It simply is.  And when you live from this space, you are aligned with the divine flow of the Universe.  You become like water—flowing effortlessly, taking the path of least resistance, yet powerful enough to carve out mountains.

A Call to Action

So, give it up.  Give up everything you know.  Everything you think you know.  Allow yourself to be guided by the wisdom of your heart and the flow of the Universe.  Surrender to the tide of ascension and trust that you are exactly where you need to be.

As you rise, so too will those around you.  You are the tide that lifts all the ships in the harbor.

Let go, dear one, and rise.

5D – Creating heaven on Earth

Releasing judgement, fear and patterns.

Are You Mission Driven? How to Live Your Highest Calling in 5D

Beloveds, today I want to ask you some vital questions—questions that could shift the course of your entire existence if you allow them to penetrate your heart and soul.

Are you mission driven?

Do you KNOW what your life mission is?

You see, the key to a life of purpose, fulfillment, and divine joy is understanding the mission you came here to fulfill.  If you’re reading this, I can assure you, you didn’t just come here to be a passive observer of life.  You came to create, to inspire, to expand.  But knowing your mission is the foundation upon which everything else is built.

Are you keeping up with new information, discovery, and mental pursuits?

The world is in a state of constant expansion—new energies, new technologies, new understandings. This is the age of limitless discovery, where mind, body, and spirit are continually challenged to evolve. But are you keeping up? Are you feeding your mind and soul with the information that aligns with your mission, or are you stuck in the cycle of old patterns and beliefs?

Are you taking care of your body?

This sacred vessel—the body you chose for this lifetime—is the divine instrument that allows your mission to unfold.  It is not separate from your spiritual path; it is integral to it.  As you care for your body, nourish it, and honor its needs, you create a stronger foundation for your spiritual ascension.  Your body is your temple, and through it, you anchor the higher dimensions into your physical reality.

Let me ask you something else:

If I gave you a million dollars, what would you do?

Would you quit your job?  Would you finally write that book you’ve been dreaming about for years?  Would you travel the world, helping others along the way?  Think about this daily and start making plans, because the universe conspires to give you what you spend time thinking about!

I know this to be true because it has happened in my own life, over and over again.  Every dream, every wish, every intention I’ve ever held close to my heart has manifested, sometimes in ways more beautiful and profound than I could have ever imagined.  I am living the life of my dreams, with the partner and husband of my dreams.  This is my truth.

The message that I share with you today, and the one that echoes through my work, is this: You are a creator.  You are divine, and your mission is to bring heaven to earth through your unique gifts and presence.  The spiritual principles I teach, I teach because I live them.  These are the tools that were given to me by my guides, and I am honored to share them with you.

Living Your Best 5D Life

The big message in my book Living Your Best 5D Life is the integration of body, mind, and spirit.  As your consciousness expands into the higher dimensions, so too does all of life expand. We are like children, just beginning to comprehend the infinite beauty and complexity of this universe.  Our understanding is still growing, but with each new level of awareness, we unlock more of our divine potential.

The meditations found in this book—especially the introduction of the 8D MerKaBa, a tool given to me after two years of profound development with the Ascension Institute—are designed to make your life easier, more aligned, and infinitely more joyful.  The 8D MerKaBa is a vehicle for your soul’s highest expression, a way to anchor yourself in the higher dimensions while still thriving in your 3D reality.

You, dear one, are not alone on this journey.  The universe is holding you, guiding you, and aligning every step you take. Trust in the process. Trust in your mission.  You are more powerful than you know, and the world needs you now more than ever.  That’s why we created the 5D summit is to expand the data base – of your knowledge! Catch the special replay and grow!

Start today. Start now. Step into the life you’ve been dreaming of, because it’s already waiting for you.  All you need to do is claim it.

With all my love and highest blessings,

Maureen

Pray for Humanity

Why is there so much energy around these significant weather events?  While some of these disruptions stem from human negligence, it’s important to recognize that much of it is necessary as Earth undergoes a cleansing process, releasing unwanted energies.

Take the fires, for example.  They may claim what you hold dear, but remember, recovery is always possible.  Humanity’s limited understanding of divine creativity has led to some struggles.  It’s crucial to remember that you cannot judge God by the standards of your own life.

God, whether seen as a separate entity or as a part of everything, has allowed both good and evil to flourish in the same world.  Even what we perceive as negative has emerged from the same creative source.

So how can you remain centered amidst all this chaos?  Rudyard Kipling’s poem “If” comes to mind, offering wisdom on maintaining calm and integrity.  We’ve included it at the end of this post for reflection.

A daily practice of connecting with God, or Source, can help.  Whether you’re walking, running errands, working, or caring for your family, invite God to work through you.  If you’re a parent, consider invoking the divine mother or father to guide you.  This can enhance your parenting, especially in challenging moments, saving you from regret and creating beautiful memories.

Yes, change is underway, and yes, there are significant lessons to learn.  However, these are also opportunities to see what life can be and to make better choices.

Embrace this as a new part of your personality, one that will grow and reflect your true self.  As you do, you’ll start to recognize the greatness emerging from within you.

Your mastery is hidden, but through daily challenges, interactions, and devotion to the source, you can transform into your highest self.

Many of the lessons you’ve learned have been painful, but pain is ultimately a choice after the initial impact.  I’ve often mentioned the concept of a blow to the heart, described in “Beyond the Flower of Life,” Chapter 2, as an opportunity for growth.

If you’re willing to confront your pain and evolve through it, remember that pain and suffering are fleeting unless you choose to relive them through memory, which only prolongs the hurt.  Just as picking at a scab reopens a wound, revisiting pain keeps it alive.

We encourage you to remember that you are a co-creator.  When you dwell on painful memories, you are re-inflicting that pain on yourself.  Instead, let the pain dissolve.  Reflect on what you can learn and ask why you might have drawn this experience into your life.

If you’ve read this far, you may be part of a larger purpose.  You might be playing a role in a collective healing process, holding space for humanity’s transformation.  Emotions, whether yours or others’, can become stuck and need to be cleared.

Once you recognize this, you can let go of judgment.  Humans are always searching for the “why,”  but “why” is less important than “experience.” If you’re helping to balance humanity’s energy, it’s not about Karma anymore.

To close, Karma is no longer a “thing.”  You can free yourself from the cycle of drama and pain by declaring, “I’m now in the zone of no more Karma.”  Humanity has learned what it needs to, and you no longer have to play this game.

I send you blessings and gratitude for your love and dedication.

“IF“ by Rudyard Kipling

If you can keep your head when all about you   

    Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,   

If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,

    But make allowance for their doubting too;   

If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,

    Or being lied about, don’t deal in lies,

Or being hated, don’t give way to hating,

    And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise:

If you can dream—and not make dreams your master;   

    If you can think—and not make thoughts your aim;   

If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster

    And treat those two impostors just the same;   

If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken

    Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,

Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,

    And stoop and build ’em up with worn-out tools:

If you can make one heap of all your winnings

    And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,

And lose, and start again at your beginnings

    And never breathe a word about your loss;

If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew

    To serve your turn long after they are gone,   

And so hold on when there is nothing in you

    Except the Will which says to them: ‘Hold on!’

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,   

    Or walk with Kings—nor lose the common touch,

If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,

    If all men count with you, but none too much;

If you can fill the unforgiving minute

    With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run,   

Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,   

    And—which is more—you’ll be a Man, my son!

The Fascinating Wake-Up of Other Versions of You!

As the veils thin, and individuals start to notice, they begin to discover there are other versions of themselves. This is because they share the same Monad. The monad is made up of multiple expressions, many of them in human form. As originally conceived by the Pythagoreans, the Monad is the Supreme Being, divinity or the totality of all things. Each monad consists of 144 expressions. The oversoul is made up of 144 monads. We choose to express ourselves by taking similar but different paths as you will discover from the story of Luna.

I am sharing a lovely story from a reader of my book, Waking Up in 5D. Luna writes about her experiences meeting other versions of herself!  She shared an intriguing aspect of life that many find hard to believe: other versions of you. She was inspired by the book Waking Up in 5D, and felt compelled to share her experiences and discoveries about this phenomenon.

Discovering Other versions of you with Sinem

Her journey began with her dear friend Sinem. She has known her friend for thirty years, both born in Istanbul, and our lives have mirrored each other in uncanny ways. From scoring similarly on practice tests in high school to attending the same university and even pursuing similar career paths, our lives have been in sync.

We both left our corporate jobs around the same time and ventured into photography. We both got engaged, then broke up with our fiancés simultaneously. Despite these coincidences, it wasn’t until we read Waking Up in 5D that we realized the true depth of our connection. During a trip to a winery, Sinem expressed her belief that we might be the same soul in two bodies, a thought that had also crossed her mind.

A Second Connection with Nil

She also shared a similar connection with another friend, Nil, whom she met around the same time as Sinem. They worked together at the same multinational company, under the same manager, and shared numerous life events, such as marrying men with identical birthdays. Like Sinem and me, Nil and I also moved to the US and have similar family structures.

Reflections on Our Spiritual Journeys

While Sinem and Nil are both spiritually inclined, they prefer to stay grounded in everyday life. On the other hand, my client has delved deeply into spirituality, connecting with guides and learning sacred practices like Kabbalah and sacred geometry. Despite their different approaches to spirituality and career paths, the similarities in our lives remain striking.

Conclusion

These stories highlight the fascinating concept of other versions of you, where individuals experience parallel lives and deep connections. Whether it’s with Sinem or Nil, the shared experiences and synchronicities suggest a profound link between each of them. I hope sharing her story inspires you to explore and understand the incredible and simultaneous aspects of their lives.

Other versions of you may come into your life for a brief period. You may work collaboratively or support one another. Other versions of you may take a divergent path, one that you may have considered, moving on to another choice.

A remarkable story is one that Walter Simkiew, MD told to one of my students. Walter is the author of Return of the Revolutionaries, a book I recommend to all of my students. His book chronicles the history of revolutionaries of early America, and how he can see they have returned to embodiment. Walter was giving a lecture in Seattle that my friend, Diana attended. She approached him after the lecture to ask him about my teaching of multiple versions of you.

He was very cordial and said he absolutely agreed with this concept, and went on to tell a very interesting story about a meeting with another MD, who was from India while giving a lecture in Hong Kong. They felt instant rapport and discussed their work with each other. They discovered that the Indian doctor had taken up some of the projects that Walter had let go, to pursue this work – of identifying and reincarnating revolutionaries.

I’d like to finish with this thought. If members of the American Revolution, the seceding from England have reincarnated at this time, it may be to ensure the freedoms of the citizens of America. It also tells me that our outcome is assured. Let’s be optimistic in our worldview, knowing everything will work out! This evidences supports that!

How to Catch Up and Thrive!

Do you ever feel like you’re swimming against the current in a lap pool, struggling to keep up? You’re doing great, so keep pushing forward!

If you’re feeling exhausted and on the verge of giving up, take inspiration from the movie *Nyad*, about the incredible swimmer who crossed from Florida to Cuba.  You might not have a support team yet, but you can build one.

Start by reaching out to the Angels.  Their purpose is to create miracles and remind you of the immense love surrounding you.  You’re never alone.  When loneliness hits, ask for what you need—whether it’s a support person, a tax accountant, or anything else.

Sometimes, getting the right help requires persistence.  You might need to write a letter to the universe or reach out to someone you admire, even through social media platforms like Facebook.

It’s time to harness your 5th-dimensional skills.  Take control of your situation by suspending disbelief, just like in the movies.  Call on a version of yourself who has already mastered the challenge you’re facing.  Visualize your Higher Self smiling and supporting you through the power of manifestation.

Focus on both realities: one where you may be struggling, and another where you have everything under control, navigating the challenge with grace and ease.  Denial has no place here.

Take a moment to ask yourself, “What do I need?” Then, ask for it.

Many people turn to movies to numb the feeling of being unable to keep up, often tied to hidden feelings of worthlessness.  To address this, I’ve created a tapping routine using the Emotional Freedom Technique I learned from Peg Donahue.  The tapping method is hers, but the routine is mine.  If you’re reading this blog, click on this link to get a copy of the routine, and we’ll send it to you.

One of my friends, and mentor Lee Holden, of Holden QiGong has this to say about loneliness:

In Chinese Medicine and Qi Gong, the feeling of loneliness is often associated with an energy imbalance within your body. A few different imbalances can manifest in the form of loneliness.

One of these imbalances has to do with your Heart Qi and the other with your Lungs. Although these imbalances are similar, the two have a few differences. Heart and Lung imbalances often go hand-in-hand, so you can barely distinguish between them. 

Loneliness and the Heart

The sensation of loneliness connected to the Heart element usually manifests as intense sadness. If you feel isolated and lacking connection, and it leads to strong feelings of sadness or depression, that can be a clear sign of an imbalance of Heart energy.

Sometimes, this sadness isn’t related to missing a particular person or thing. Instead, it may be a general, underlying feeling of sadness and loneliness. People with this form of loneliness may feel lost, or like they don’t belong. Of course, this feeling can be very painful and lead to various other challenging emotions.

Loneliness and the Lungs

Just as an imbalance of Heart energy can contribute to loneliness, the same is true for Lung energy. And although this form of loneliness may feel similar, it may have some distinct qualities.

The sensation for loneliness connected to the Lungs often has a strong quality of missing someone or something. For example, when you’re longing to be with a loved one who has passed away, that’s connected to the Lungs. 

As mentioned, these two forms of loneliness are often closely connected and go hand in hand. Obviously, it’s possible to miss someone and feel sad that they’re not there with you. 

Although some situations may inevitably cause a feeling of loneliness, there are a few ways to skillfully transform the energy of loneliness to experience greater connection and peace in the present moment.    

Lee goes on to tell us that finding other people or pets to cure loneliness is one way, but it is not the only way. You can use your connection to nature, and feel a deep sense of oneness with the plants animals and trees and other living things.

A walk in the park may be just the thing – but take time to appreciate the beauty around you – which WILL connect you with the wisdom of the world of nature. In fact you may meet a fairy or two … but that’s another blog.

Love,

Maureen
