Acceptance Is The Key

The state of the world is in turmoil and rather than jump into a new age fad of labeling this time as a great awakening, one has to look at the reality of how we have come to this moment in time and what we can do to move forward. The reality is, man has deceived man and tried to control the balance of human nature for his own gain. Now we see divine law and karma in operation. It is already in motion and people are suffering, and even though great lessons to be learned exist, many are suffering needlessly.

Darkness Awakes!

There is a great saying that in times of darkness there is always a blessing if one can find it. However, that is often easier said than done. No matter what we have come to expect or no matter how much knowledge one has amassed, the playing out of the action of that knowledge is often lost in nothing but theory without action.

At the time of writing this, I have lost count of the number of people who have reached out to me privately to express the upset, anguish, and anxiety they face on a daily basis. Anxiety at this time is at an all-time high and fear which brings forth that anxiety is eating away at many souls; then you have the added aspect of grief and its many faces, even without losing loved ones – we are all grieving the loss. We have lost parts of our identity and life as we perceived it. That loss can become the catalyst to inner turmoil and suffering.

A Call to Action

When this happened to the people of the world, I knew that people would need an outlet for their emotions and to express their grief and anxiety. I made an announcement in social media that I would be available on a private basis to help anyone who needed it, anyone who needed spiritual counsel, and the messages flooded in. Now, this was not for private sittings, nor to feed some need within myself and it cost nothing but time. It was to truly exemplify what Silver Birch meant when he said:

“The greatest gift you can give humanity is the gift of service.”

This was one small way that I could serve privately without pomp and circumstance.

As the messages came flooding in, one individual after another that needed comfort and spiritual counsel – poured out their souls, looking for some kind of direction and to understand – why? Now I am not a person that holds all the answers but I like to be led by the divine power within, and of course, allow the great spirit to lead those that needed words of comfort. One thing began to stand out to me; a pattern began to emerge with everyone, and an awareness of that pattern was all that was needed to navigate these turbulent waters. Most people had no real, true awareness and needed to understand themselves more at this time.

It's all very AAFT

Anything in life starts with awareness, for without awareness we do not truly live, as we have no real capacity to know time in the present and the experience of the present moment. Without awareness, we are an empty dream without a story. We are a story without a book and a book with no audience. Awareness is indeed the key to change, for with awareness we have the choice to unlock that door. Awareness is actually a divine power often forgotten.

Caverns Of Despair

Most individuals that I conversed with were only aware of what they were told or shown according to others’ perceptions. They were not aware of themselves and were merely following what it was that others perceived. The outcome, of course, was deeper entrenchment in the material realm and becoming further separated from the power of spirit or the divinity within.

The type of awareness that arose within themselves was the ego’s awareness and not that of the inner power of divinity within. Therefore, all the ugly emotions and aspects of past actions or grief from loss, all came to the surface. As a result, one begins to question truths and lay the blame squarely at the feet of divine power – while feelings of anger and abandonment surfaces.

Did You Pray

I asked one individual if they prayed for help, and they confirmed they did. I then asked if they considered that their request for help was answered, and they said no. I then asked if they felt abandoned and they said yes, by God. I then replied, if you think you are abandoned and your prayer has not been answered, then who am I at this time? The key to getting through turbulent times is to trust in the power of the divine. The answers will always come but without awareness, they are lost.

Acceptance

When we do not accept things as they are, we cannot change them. It is with nonacceptance that we fight with a power external to oneself and we give our power away to material power. In accepting things as they are, we have the power to move forward and come from the inner power of divinity by placing faith in our divinity and understanding that acceptance means to just be at one with the one mind that is the source of all things and supply of all things. We accept and therefore we are. We become the power that is latent within.

Forgiveness

The other emotion or power (depending on how you see it) that many were missing was that of forgiveness. In this time of self isolation, all sorts of emotions such as guilt, fear and a disdain for oneself can come to the surface. In all but one conversation, the reality was that forgiveness was only a pattern of external action that had no real power for the self; it merely became glibly spoken words and thoughts with no pattern, to cause creation. The missing aspect is that none of them had forgiven themselves, for we experience everything in life as an inner experience. Nothing is experienced outside of oneself and so to forgive on an external plane holds no power.

When these individuals realized that all of their desired changes could happen with learning the true power of internal forgiveness, it all changed – at that moment. By learning to forgive from within, you choose acceptance, you choose non-suffering and in that respect, you release that which is holding you prisoner. All the external elements of forgiveness of others are already done because they did not exist in the timeline where suffering exists. You are now beginning to recognize the power of love within you.

Transformation

Transformation takes place when acceptance and forgiveness are brought into harmony, which, in turn, awakens one to the power of love without condition. No matter the changes to your circumstances, you find peace within the acceptance and forgiveness you exemplify. You then find that you are the power within the source and holding the power at that moment means that your external reality is merely what is created outside of you – and the power to change things lies within you. Every experience is within oneself and to become aware of the power within, allows you to bring harmony and peace to any situation you find yourself in.

You are the power, you have the power to accept and to change and to know love without condition.

To this day, I still respond to those in need and I use those same 4 steps to awaken change: AAFT – Awareness, Acceptance, Forgiveness, Transformation.

Wonderful Evidence of Spirit at a Time of Need

Introduction by Leo Bonomo

From time to time, we come across wonderful evidence of Spirit, most of which is familiar to us as mediums, psychics and those newly initiated to the great reality of life after death.

Mediums become accustomed to the fact that, “Yes, of course, this is real” and can, on occasion, miss the real and far-reaching impact, the total wonderment and huge effect this realization can have on a person’s life. In the sharing below, we experience the fantastic moment of the bliss that arrives when we KNOW that we do survive death and it comes with such impactful evidence that we cannot ever dispute it.

It is the wonderful gift of Spirit that takes away all fear, as in this case. The evidence cannot be contradicted, although sceptics have certainly tried in the past. If you have “an interest” but feel that you have not had proper evidence, then take heart. This story is a wonderful recounting of an incident that has many values. I, myself, have given evidence of a need to forgive someone who has passed. Sometimes, such terrible things have been done, that people are still unwilling to forgive.

Our need to fix things after we have passed

The evidence presented in the following story shows that when we pass over, we can see and understand the impact of our actions, their full repercussions, and how we are driven to try and fix them. In this case, the need for love and forgiveness was demonstrated (by the person in spirit) with good evidence.

This is, to my mind, as great a story as you would ever hear; a story of our times given the stress being experienced by corona virus. My thanks go out to the wonderful soul who has shared this very personal account of events that are often played out with a very different ending.

Jane’s Story

Has anybody experienced anything similar to this?

In 2010, I experienced something that I’ll never understand; an experience I will never ever forget but also an experience that has taken away all of my previous fears and anxieties around death and dying.

Just a typical, normal night in 2010 and I took myself off to bed. Like any other night, I got comfy and started to read my book. After around 10 minutes, I noticed a dim orb-like light to my right. I remember not really taking that much interest in it and just carried on reading. After around an hour, I turned my lamp off and lay down.

It was only around 2 minutes after turning the light off that I noticed the dim light again. So I peeked over my duvet and to my astonishment, my dad was at the bottom of my bed! I couldn’t believe that I was actually seeing my dad and remember questioning myself, was I dreaming this? But nope. I was 100% seeing him. I really wasn’t too worried by his presence, but the strange thing was that he appeared to me with no waist or legs, just him from his belly up.

I could see every pore on his face. It was so surreal. A brightness glowed around him and he looked so very young; he held his hand out to me and even though his lips never moved, I knew he wanted me to take his hand. He never smiled once whilst he was with me and I never leant forward to take his hand either. I can’t explain why I didn’t but I felt so guilty and upset when he left that I hadn’t.

Mum said there was no way Dad was dead

Eventually, I managed to fall sleep and the first thing I did the next morning was call my mum who lived in France at the time. I told her about my experience of seeing dad standing at the bottom of my bed and at the same time, I told her that my dad must be dead! My mum told me that there was no way my dad would be dead, the reason being, my mum and dad had divorced when I was 11 years old. Poor mum found out he was having an affair with another woman and he was to stay with this other woman till the day he died.

Dad was never a good dad; mum said they married too young and that he worked all day and spend all night in the local pub. This upset mum, as he often came home in a state, never took any interest in family life at all, never gave her a penny and me and my sister were almost non-existent to him.

Mum said he wouldn’t have died because she had always kept in touch with a member of his family and each year they sent each other a Christmas card and would write the occasional letter to each other too. She told me, “If your dad was very poorly or had even died then I’d have been contacted.” She said she had always asked about my dad & was always told he was well.

I tried for years to be in his life

I tried for years to be in his life and thought that when he remarried, I’d be accepted more. The woman he married was Scottish and already had five girls from her previous marriage, so I thought I’d fit in fine. But I didn’t because dad’s new wife didn’t want me around for fear of dad returning to mum one day. Well, that’s what I believed the reason to be – fat chance of that ever happening. Dad’s new wife was an absolute bitch! I never received a birthday card, nor a Christmas card ever, so decided after years of trying, it was time to let go. I eventually gave up, but thought about him often, with a tear in my eye.

Anyway getting back to where I left off, after speaking with mum about my experience with dad, I thought she was more than likely going to be right, so I just brushed it off and tried to forget it had ever happened. I went to bed the next night but nothing out of the ordinary occurred, although I actually whispered to him in my mind as I so wanted him to appear to me again. I missed him and wished I’d taken hold of his hand.

Was this evidence?

I had an invite to my sister’s for tea, so went along with my hubby but never mentioned anything about seeing dad. My sister's husband said he’d got something for me; turned out to be a brochure-like magazine relating to Scotland, not that I’d ever visited Scotland. I was a little intrigued as to why he’d be giving me this and when I asked why, he replied by saying, “I thought you’d be interested as it mentions a few historical places.” And he knew I loved history.

I remember opening up the magazine somewhere towards the middle and for some odd reason I felt a really strong connection to the island that appeared on that page. It was Cumbrae, on the Ayrshire coast of Scotland. The feeling was so strong that I turned the mag around and told everyone to look at how beautiful it was. I even told them I felt a realy uncanny connection to the place & that I needed to go! They just laughed.

Five days later after his visitation, it got to night time again so I retired to bed. Again, nothing unusual, just the same. Got cosy and read my book. I must have been reading for near on an hour when I suddenly felt I wasn’t alone, but I never experienced a bright light. I looked around but couldn’t see anything unusual. I just had this feeling of being watched. Then I put my book down and turned off my lamp.

As I lay there for about 15 or so minutes, I felt the need to look towards the bottom of my bed and omg! Dad was stood their again. I immediately sat up. He looked exactly the same as five nights previous and he held his hand out to me again, only this time, I leant forward and held his hand. I looked on as his hand grasped mine, but felt nothing. I looked at him and he was smiling, then in seconds he was gone! My heart was absolutely broken. I cried myself to sleep but I knew for sure my dad was telling me he had died.

The last time I saw my dad was 1992

The next morning, I got back on the phone straight away to mum and told her that my dad was dead and that he’d visited me again. I couldn’t stop crying and she said, “Let me go, Jane, as I’m going to ring your Auntie Pat.” She was my dad’s adopted sister and the family member mum had always kept in touch with.

The last time I saw my dad was 1992, when I was 26 and married with two children. He never bothered with either of them, yet in 1991, whilst living around 30 miles away from dad, my youngest child became very poorly and was rushed to Alder Hey Children’s Hospital in Liverpool.

Me and my hubby stayed at the hospital and one morning on arriving at my daughter’s ward, I was astonished to see my dad sat by her bedside. He saw us approach and left in the other direction. I shouted over to him but he never turned around. I’d never done anything to this man. I just wanted to be loved by him and to be part of his life but it wasn’t to be.

You were right Jane, your dad passed away

The telephone rang and I knew it would be mum calling, so I quickly grabbed it. I immediately asked if she’d managed to contact Auntie Pat and her reply was, “You were right Jane, your dad passed away on 18th February 2007”.

So I had for sure received a visit from my dad not once, but twice! Mum also told me that she had strong words with Auntie Pat over the phone and told her how utterly disgusted and upset she was that she had not contacted her over his death back in 2007. She also asked how she could have written back in past letters stating that he was well, when all along he’d been dead for the last 3 years!

Mum said that for the entire time she ranted down the phone to Auntie Pat, there was just silence, until she told her to at least tell her where he was buried, so then at least her girls could go and pay their respects to their dad. “The thing is, Linda,” came the reply, “he’s not buried, he’s cremated. But his body isn’t close enough for the girls to visit as his wishes were to have his ashes scattered on the Island of Cumbrae, Ayrshire in Scotland.”

Omg! Omg ! The magazine, the connection I felt with this Island of Cumbrae; an island I never knew existed but felt such tremendous connection with because it was my dad’s final resting place. He found a way to contact me to let me know of his passing, something his wife should have done, and Auntie Pat. But they chose not too and I can not forgive them for that; even my mum cut ties with Auntie Pat because in her eyes, what she did was so unforgivable.

It’ll be like finding a needle in a haystack

Although he was never around for me he’s still my dad and always will be. I love him very much and I’m happy he came to let me know he had passed, as that proves to me his love and I know wholeheartedly that he’s sorry for the past because I just get that feeling. I’ve never seen him since that second visit but know he’s around very often.

This experience wasn’t a dream. This experience was real and has taken all the fear out of dying. I know there is more to come after this life because since my two visitations from my dad, I’ve had a few more experiences that didn’t involve seeing him.

I’ve also since been up to Scotland and took a short ferry ride over to the island with my hubby. That in itself was very odd as I had no idea where dad was resting. Auntie Pat had only told mum he was on the island. Once I’d driven off the ferry, I turned left, which took us down to the beach.

It was so very quiet, not a soul to be seen and my hubby said there was no way I’d find my dads resting place. He got out of the car to ask someone in a local shop if they had any idea where most of the resting places were to be found, but they didn’t. They just told my hubby, “It’ll be like finding a needle in a haystack.”

The lone bagpiper

As we turned the car around to go the other way, a lone bagpiper came off the beach playing the bagpipes. It was so odd because nobody was around except for me and the hubby. We sat and listened as he played, and I just cried. Then we carried on and after travelling for around two miles, I abruptly said to my hubby, “STOP! He’s here.”

There were stone steps to my right and I felt he was at the top of those steps. My hubby said to me, “You’re mad, Jane”, but I got out and once I reached the top, there he was. I found him. The feeling was so overwhelming. There I was, finally with my dad and at peace with myself.

Leo Bonomo’s Response to Jane’s Story

This is a fantastic, beautiful story that mediums are very familiar with. Your Dad had given you clues to his passing at a time when you were open, and guided you to the very spot he was "laid to rest." Not only that, he has acknowledged that he had wronged you and wanted your forgiveness which you had given him. He was aware of your regret and persistent enough to come back and try again, giving you the encouragement you needed. I think it is a wonderful thing.

When we experience something like this, it is a forceful awakening to the ‘real life,’ that the personality survives death. Death is only of the body, the gross material we have created for our means, that is all. You have been blessed and your Dad has given you the greatest gift anyone could ever give.

Evidence that we are eternal

The realisation that we are eternal, the realisation that death is nothing to fear. That we do survive and that "we shall meet again" I am so very sure that this story will encourage so many others who may not yet have found that comfort you have and are experiencing. While you have shared this, I do not think you have realised the full impact it will have on others.

There is a reason you have shared beyond what you know with great evidence too. Thank you for sharing this light, love and experience for all to share. It is wonderfully touching.

Light, always,

Leo.

Three Healing Steps to Greater Abundance

To attract and create more abundance into your life, you need to know that it’s an inside job. By that I mean it’s a transformation of consciousness due to subtle, yet profound shifts in one’s own perceptions.

healing abundance — Photo: John Hain, Pixabay

A shift in perception can make all the difference in how we see and interact with the world in which we live. When we take the time to gently observe the areas of our life where we are currently limited and feel totally stuck, where we struggle or come up against resistance, then we can use my simple three-step healing process towards allowing in greater abundance.

The transformative power of love is the force that brings healing change to our thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and actions. When our daily thoughts are dominantly aligned to fear, lack and limitation, then the transformative power of love is missing.

This is how we unwittingly separate ourselves from love – our true nature, and in doing so we subconsciously feel guilt and shame.

We unintentionally block our creative energy from flowing outwards without restriction. Our heart energy creates unnecessary energetic blocks which are typically manifested as energy walls of resistance that prevent us from attracting and creating a greater good.

Abundance is a free-flowing energy that has no resistance when in perfect harmony with the energies of love, generosity, gratitude, kindness, compassion and all of the high-vibe attributes of Spirit.

The truth is that most people block their flow of abundance, which is simply an abundance of all of the good that the Universe has for them, such as – improved health, increased wealth, balanced and loving relationships, and true heart-centered romantic love. Not to mention our work or social life that is aligned with passion and purpose.

People block their flow of abundance in many different ways. Here are three main ways, in no particular order:

First Block: Ongoing resentment

Deep-seated hurts create trauma energies. Our trauma memories continue to stir up the energetic resonance of the pain we still carry if we aren’t willing to clear it and let it go.

Resentment of others involved in our pain, or just plain old resentment of others simply because they have something we want, but don’t have, will cause energetic disarray within our heart energy center and hinder our ability to attract and create more abundance.

Second Block: Self-loathing

The second way in which a person blocks or interferes with the natural flow of abundance into their life is self-loathing.

If a person judges themselves as being less than another and continuously compares themselves to others in a negative and judgmental way, where the other person is observed as being so much better than, will once more block a person’s heart energy flow and create energetic walls of resistance that block the flow of good.

Third Block: Selfishness

The third block or interference with the natural flow of abundance is selfishness. In other words, an attitude of what’s in it for me? How am I benefiting? How can you or the world help me without me needing to give anything back?

When the energy behind a person’s intentions is selfishly based, they unwittingly create shifts in their energetic vibration that matches their selfish intent. When a person has needy or greedy energy, with little thought to helping or blessing others, or in adding light to the world in some way through their own creative expression, they hinder the free flow energy of abundance into their life.

My Three-Step Healing Process

Use the following simple yet the powerfully transformative three-step process to help clear your energy and create subtle shifts in consciousness, that over time, can lead to profound and even miraculous changes. Shifts that help to align you with the greater good of the Universe and to open your heart energy to give and receive love and abundance.

Step One: Observe any time you have a fearful or limiting thought. A fearful thought can easily become a negative word spoken and then turn into a non-beneficial behavior or action.

Creation begins with your thoughts.

Simply notice yourself when you are stuck in a negative or fearful thought and do so from a point of non-judgment. You are not to criticize yourself for having this negative thought pattern.

Step Two: Understand that your real nature is Love. God is Love and anything other than Love is therefore not real. In this sense, fear, lack and limitation do not originate from the Divine Mind of God, or Source, or Creator. They originate from the fearful collective consciousness of mankind.

You have a free will choice to live in separation by turning away from love, or by choosing to return to love and the energy source of your true-self. This step simply asks you to understand that your real nature is Love and that Love didn’t create these thoughts. This contemplation is life-changing.

Step Three: Clear the negative thought by sending it to the Light of Ultimate Truth. Simply say the following: “I send this (state exact fearful thought) to the Light of Ultimate Truth to be transmuted into Love. I willingly choose to return to Love. I allow the energy of abundance to flow to me and through me.”

These subtle shifts in perceptions will begin to take energetic root in your consciousness for transformative changes to take place in your health and life experience. However, this path of spiritual growth requires you to be consistent.

Golden Key to Transformation

You have been given an easy yet amazingly powerful three-step process to help you but being consistent is the golden key to real change.

It means that you take the time and the conscious effort (a few seconds) so that every time that you become aware of being stuck in low-vibe patterns, such as feeling resentful, being judgmental of self, others and the world, and being self-centered in any way – you simply realize and understand that this does not originate from Love and therefore isn’t true for you.

Remember that the energy behind these negative patterns blocks all the good that Love and the Universe have in store for you. It makes perfect sense to incorporate this three-step healing practice into your daily life.
