I have been writing articles on Substack and am especially happy with my last article. Come check it out: https://katherinetreffinger.substack.com/p/it-is-done-unto-you-as-you-believe
 “When you realize it's a dream you can afford to play. The same thing happens when you realize that ordinary life is a dream, just a movie, just a play. You don't become more cautious, more timid, more reserved. You start jumping up and down and doing flips, precisely because it's all a dream, it's all pure Emptiness. You don't feel less, you feel more - because you can afford to. You are no longer afraid of dying, and therefore you are not afraid of living. You become radical and wild, intense and vivid, shocking and silly. You let it all come pouring through, because it's all your dream. Life then assumes its true intensity, its vivid luminosity, its radical effervescence." — Ken Wilber
I have watched this amazing video several times. Please enjoy.  'I AM YOU' Artist: Katherine Treffinger You are Love. I am Love. I am you. Your ‘I am’ and my ‘I am’ is the same I AM. I AM is Love. I AM is consciousness. All is consciousness. Consciousness is a presence that is Love beyond love. Love is All in all. Perfect, sparkling Love. This is not a riddle. It is Absolute Truth. When I was hit over my so called head by my God experience it was a submersion in Love. I was blissed out in an infinite ocean of Love. Everything sparkled with this Love. It was laughable to think that we don’t feel safe. For many reasons this was a pivotal experience and is my point of reference as I navigate this dream. Somehow I would like to make this your reference point also. “There is absolutely nothing in this world, or anywhere else, to worry about. No matter how things may appear in your life, all is well. You are Divinity Itself, just the way you are. Now when you start to think about just the way you are, you spoil it, for you say to yourself, "How can I be Divinity? I'm this and I'm that." Who told you to think? Your thoughts will do it to you all the time. You simply remain in that moment. In that moment all is well. In that moment you are free. In that moment you are filled with joy.” The Collected Works of Robert Adams. “Just the way you are.” That is love. Nothing to do, nothing to change, no where to go, nothing to have. Just the way you are you are, perfect Divinity. Now. The Divine is Love. This Love is Omnipotent. All powerful. What that means is nothing has power over Love. Nothing. Love is Omnipresent. This means there is nowhere that Love is not. Love is Omniscient. All knowing. Love is Awareness. Love is Consciousness. Love is All. There is nothing else. You are God. You are Love. There is nowhere to go to find Divine Love. You are already that for which you may seek. You are absolutely safe. You can sit quietly and ask that Love show itself to your experience. In any given situation you can ask it to be revealed. Ask with your whole heart. No matter what anything looks like Divine Love will show you the back door. Nothing is impossible with Omniscience and the answer is never something your mind can figure out. It will just come to you. Love will answer if you surrender to it in any now. The embodiment of any impending threat is Divine Love also. It is only your task to see that God as you and God as the threat are the same. It’s a dream. In Truth there is only Love. Practice this and Love will take over your experience. Then it will become your reference point.  Ever since we were old enough to stand in front of a mirror the same witnessing presence has been staring into the mirror. As the years roll by the image changes and the experiences build history and the mind accrues information. The looker has remained the same. The 'I' that has experienced all of these myriad of experiences has remained the same. The 'I' that has witnessed all of the mind’s thoughts has not changed one iota from all of these thoughts. Thoughts come and go, experiences come and go, physicality comes and goes but 'I', the experiencer, the looker remains the same. Culturally we are taught to identify with the thoughts, feelings, the body, i.e. the experience, when in reality we are the experiencer, the 'I', awareness, consciousness, that which always is. A shift in focus from what is being experienced to the experiencer that is witnessing the experiences creates a paradigm shift. I was walking down the street being aware of being aware when ‘my world’ exploded into pure Love and Absolute safety. Rather than being aware of the 'things' around me I was aware of the aliveness and light that all apparent substance is made up of. That only lasted for 3 weeks but it is now my reference point. Being aware of being aware, if practiced regularly, aligns one with the Truth of one's Being, one's Divinity and takes one into a realm of silence/ peace/stillness. Life is lived intuitively, guided by the intelligence that emerges from the Silence. Living from this place naturally places one right in the present moment. In fact time drops away. Becoming identified with this 'I Am' is freedom. The world can be experiencing all kinds of tribulations but one who is practicing being Awareness is not of this world. Living in Awareness is Grace.
As some of you know a couple of years ago I had what I will call a mystical experience, a spiritual awakening of sorts. It was a huge event for me. Afterwords my life, as I knew it, slowly disintegrated, friends and clients fell away and eventually I stopped painting. My guidance told me to stop, completely, and rest and integrate. Little did I know it would last years. I can now see the benefits of this stopping. I was meditating the other day and was so absolutely still inside I was amazed. My thought was that this must be a major benefit for the health of the body. This process has had a vast effect on me. I am silent/peaceful inside, time has dropped away and I have very little relationship to my past. My past seems like a story to me now. My Awakening experience was blissful, a total experience of Love. The blissful stage lasted about 3 weeks. The process that followed was a falling away of that which did not reflect Love/self love in my life. It was tough. From what I understand it is a common experience.  I am telling you all of this to give you a sense of the foundation of my offering. Today, after meditating, I realized it is time for me to begin anew.
How could I know that at the end of my period of stopping the rest of the world would be moving into their stopping? I certainly don't feel quite so alone and weird now. Haha! Anyhow, I am now available for transformational/ spiritual counseling, distance and hands on healing (when we can be near each other again. I miss hugging, don't you?!?!) and mentoring. I am sorry the hands on work is not available right now because it definitely has a new power to it. If you can think of anyone that could use my offerings please send them to my site www.ourlivingdream.com. This may sound strange, but I am made for these times. There are testimonials on the site (http://www.ourlivingdream.com/testimonials.html). These were given before the shift took place in me. My work is much clearer and stronger now and it was clear and strong before. Because I live in a remote area I was already working primarily by phone. Thank you, thank you, so very much for any assistance you can give in relaunching my work.  The Great Archetype of Surrender has arrived and she is not fooling around this time. She is wielding big power. She is saying surrender or else. However, when any Archetype arrives on the scene they come bearing the truest of gifts of all, the ones that could not be delivered any other way. Surrender is a power animal of sorts. One of her gifts is to bring you back into your power and your heart. True power. True Love.
Surrender is asking us to stay in place. We fight the isolation, we want out, we want our lives back, of course. Surrender says sorry, but for the true healing and good of all we all must stop. Surrender says come with me, enter the cave of your inner Self, become friendly with you. You just might get excited by what you discover. Rest there in your cave. Resting is a luxury. We are a culture of doers. Surrender says just be. We think accomplishment, in the world, is power. Surrender laughs, she knows the strength it takes and the resulting power the act of surrender brings. Surrender asks of us to develop a new relationship to our feelings. For many of us having anxiety and fear means one of a couple of responses, fix the feelings, push them away or drown in their murky pool. Surrender wants us to be present with our feelings. Stop. Be different with them. Be with them in a way no one has ever been present with them. Ask them where they are in your body. What do they feel like there and then just be present for them. Feelings can rule our lives because we don’t stop and observe. Be present for what is going on in our collective lives and the Earth. I know it is scary because it is just too big. Look where not being present has gotten us. Listen to the Earth. Listen to your inner Being. The highest Spiritual practice is surrender. Surrender to Love, to Omniscience. Surrender to Grace. If you really deeply explore yourself through surrender you will find at the core of you is Silence and in that silence is Grace, Love and your Truest Self. Grace can handle what is taking place. We just need to surrender. Can you imagine if many of us let Surrender take us by the hand what a shift could occur? It’s already happening. Awakening is happening and Surrender rejoices. 
I was taking a walk this afternoon listening to this You Tube Video. I listened to it over and over as I took in the beautiful vista that is my neighborhood. If you listen to it be prepared for the possibility of knowing yourself as you truly are.
