Rise of the Lightworkers with Lee Harris


Sylvia Henderson:
Lee, I am very excited because I think that you have been able to tap into some very important information in a very interesting time in humanity. How did the awareness of your intuitive gifts unfold for you?
*
Lee Harris: Well, it was a process that took place over several years. Initially, I believe my spiritual access or connection was coming through my creativity in my early years. Then, in my late teens, it started to change, and I had a few experiences with friends where it was fun to read tarot cards for them, even though I did not know what the cards meant.


When I was 22, I directly heard the voice of my guide, and that was not something I was looking for. I was on a train, and I heard those voices in your own head that you do, your own mind, and I was just going through the things that day that was on my agenda, probably telling myself things that I was very disappointed with and disappointed with myself about.


Then suddenly on the left there was this very clear, loving, strong voice that it took me about ten minutes to realize that there were two very different voices in my head, and this one on the left I had never heard before. So, I was a little unsure what was going on, but I did know about channeling even though it was not something I was seeking.


I started to write down what this voice was telling me over the next few months, and eventually I put the dots together to realize that it was my guide that I was hearing. But on some level I had had some level of access to them until that point. But there was a change, because I had been opening and developing my own intuition that facilitated that happening.


So, for a few years, I just shared it with friends. Then, after a period, a good friend who was a healer said you should be doing this for work, and I never thought that would be possible. I even doubted anyone would come, but I did 60 readings in the first 60 days and never looked back since.


Sylvia Henderson: I know you were getting this information from your guide; how did you step into your ability to channel information, and what is the primary message that they would like to share with humanity?
*
Lee Harris: Well, my guides, I refer to them as the Z’s, and the reason for that is the very first name that was given to me was Zachary. He was, like, we do not have names, but we know that you have names and need names so we will give you the closest thing we could give you vibrationally, my name would be Zachary.


Then in the years that followed, I met Ziadora and Zaphariah, who identified themselves as what we would understand as more feminine energy within my guide team. They explained that they were part of a collective of 88 energies that extended wider into source, and they refer to themselves as a voice of galactic consciousness.


There are some channelers who channel angels; there are some who channel extra-terrestrials. They basically said they are travelers who move between all of the worlds and they speak of themselves as a consciousness library. So, their main message, particularly for us as humans, would seem to be that the confines of this human experience, as difficult as that can be for us living in the third dimensional earth, even at this time that the other dimensions are opening up. They say that even though there can be challenges and contrasts that we experience as confining, that is why you came here. You came here to help raise the frequency and the consciousness levels of the planet and also have an experience for yourself.


Sylvia Henderson: Can you tell us why we are experiencing these shifts so profoundly within our emotional body and our physical body?
*
Lee Harris: Well, a couple of things that the Z’s will talk about is that we, as a planetary body and a human race, also the other species existing on the planet, we are all going through a real shift period. This, apparently, is a universal phenomenon, too, that a lot is changing universally and thus also on the earth. So, you see, from my perspective, you are seeing that mirrored right now in terms of what we see, particularly on a political, governmental basis. I am 40 years old, but even my friends in their 60’s and 70’s say they have never seen anything like this in their lifetime.


Sylvia Henderson: You did say that this is happening on a universal level and you also said that the Z’s are part of galactic collective consciousness, so can you talk a little bit about that?
*
Lee Harris: Well, the one thing that they are often talking about is that we as human beings are travelers and will tend to forget that. They say that when you incarnate throughout the lifetimes, you also incarnate across the galaxy. So, you can have different lifetimes as different beings, and this is something that is not touched upon I think. I mean, it is touched upon in certain communities on earth, but for the main, we tend to be shielded from the idea of the fact that we are part of a very vast Universe.


There are many different life forms. Interestingly, just recently, and this is part of the wave of change that we are seeing, I have noticed that wellness has come to light for all of us. The CIA and several government bodies around the world are releasing online evidence of UFO contact that previously many have been campaigning for to be released, but it has been shielded from the public.



So, what they say is that the universe is far bigger than we as humans have ever been allowed to understand. And they speak from that place of uniting as much as they can; the very differing worlds and races that exist in and around us, and what they do say is “As above, so below.” They say that just as on the planet there are those who stand for the light, and there are those who stand for consciousness, and then there are those who stand for conflict. They say it is the same throughout the universe that some of the same conflict energies exist throughout the universe. And so what we have played out here on earth is a very microcosmic experience of what plays out for beings across the galaxy.


So we took on the personality and the makeup of our families, we took on the personality and the cultural makeup of the time we were born into, and that becomes you as a soul-based human on the planet. So this is why when people meditate or have soul-based experiences. They feel very free, because their experience of the soul is so much wider than what we are focused on here on a day-to-day basis as a human being.


Yet, the Z’s will always say even though you are focused very intently on a very short period, relatively, you know a human life if you live to be 90 or 100 years, they say it is a blink of an eye. But we are so focused on it that we tend to forget the enormity of the universe, the enormity of a lifetime, and when we can reconnect to that and remember that it tends to take away the intensity, or the edge, of what we are going through down here today.


So, it tends to open you out beyond the confines of what they refer to as a game of consciousness, and their point is they are saying, “How conscious can human beings become?” That really is the question, because if we can keep becoming more conscious as a human race, we stand a greater chance as a race of living on to thousands and thousands of years.


I think the big question on everybody’s mind at the moment is how is that going to be possible with the way things are looking. They kind of remind that there are many races that you can be in the universe, there are many beings that you can be in the universe, and this is but one experience that you try on, which is why the soul is such a vast space to be in. The human being is a very small focused place to be; yet within that, we experience the vastness of everything.


Sylvia Henderson: One other question for you, Lee, what is your definition of God or Source?
*
Lee Harris: For me, the definition would be what I would call higher connectivity, though that can show up in many moments. For example, I can be having a conversation with a taxi driver and suddenly that conversation becomes very connected; you know where your skin crackles because you feel all the truth of what is going on.


So, for me, the definition of God or Source is higher connectivity. And when we experience that with another person, with ourselves in a meditation, with a tree in nature, for me that is when we feel most fully alive, and that is what I really enjoy and appreciate about being human, that you get to experience that many times over, especially the more you focus and the more you learn how to create it in your life.


Sylvia Henderson: So, is everything in the universe is nothing more than a representation of consciousness?
*
Lee Harris: That is a good and a big question. We might experience these in energies or in people. Sometimes you walk into space at home or a piece of land, and something does not feel right to you. It can almost give you a chill. So, they say that just as you see a battle between light and dark playing out on the planet so, too, in universal terms consciousness does not exist everywhere. Of course, being, if you like, in relationship to a place where the consciousness is deadened or dark can help get you back towards consciousness, but they would say, no, the consciousness we are speaking of does not exist everywhere.


One of the things that lightworkers are advised to do at the moment is, they say, find the pockets of light. You might not be able to be in the light all day long, but if you recognize your suffering or things have felt heavier, or darker recently, because of what is coming out of so much more people than ever before it is really important to find your pockets of light. Essentially, island hop between them so that a pocket of light for you might be a great conversation with a friend, it might be having a moment playing with your dog, it might be listening to some uplifting music. But you have to find them and keep moving between them in order to keep your own frequency high, particularly at times like this.


I do think at times like this we are in a sea change. Many people had already stabilized their balance, and then the world went through this period of instability that we are still in so you can “not” be affected by those energy waves. I think that recognizing that balance is a moving target all the time and, as you let yourself get through the grief or the shock of what you see going on about you and around you, to recognize you will learn to change with this. That is what we do.


We are very good at being adaptable, but sometimes we do not want to adapt, or we feel resentful of what we see is happening that is disturbing our peace. As a lightworker, you are going to find a way to bring yourself back to peace so that you can be that for others, but these are times that lightworkers have to forget about the others a bit if they are really struggling, and really focus on themselves. That, in itself, is the opportunity. You are being given an opportunity by the universe to go even deeper with yourself to learn what it is you need to bring balance.


Sylvia Henderson: That is so very interesting, too, as I think that those of us who are very sensitive and heart-sensitive, that is one of the hardest things that it is for us to do is to really take care of ourselves and to nurture ourselves, and it is that self-love journey, is it not?
*
Lee Harris: It is, and I think to learn how do I have a healthy boundary while still being open to the rest of the world. Empaths, healers, sensitives, tend to be wired that they like to feel and pick up on the ocean of everyone else. At the moment, the ocean of everyone else is a lot more chaotic and afraid than ever before.


It does not take a genius to work out that that is going to ricochet and affect all those sensitives, and it is going to make you need or want to pull back your focus from focusing on the way that others are feeling and to give yourself full attention, which is not a natural way of being for sensitives, empaths, healers. Yet it is the very act that will strengthen you because you will still be inclined to want to help others. But, after going through a period where you really deeply focus on your own healing and limit your engagement that you used to have with other people, then you will come back even stronger and be able to hold an even stronger frequency for others while not having to hijack or disrupt your own in order to offer that.


That is a very tricky skill. It is what I call energy mastery, and I think that we are all working on our energy mastery all of our life, but this is a real period of time that brings strength to us in a way that it never has before.

Ahhh, to be an Empath — One who is wired to be more sensitive to the energy currents (subtle and not-so-subtle), the thoughts, and the emotions wafting and swirling around you.


To be an Empath, or an Empathic-Sensitive as some might correctly say, is to have a set of unique gifts or medicines for our times, though it may not always feel like it when you’re getting barraged or drained by the energies around you.


As well as gifts, there are hazards on the path, due to the ‘toxic normal’ conditioning of a Bully Culture that often casts sensitivity and empathy as an aberration (see “You’re Too Sensitive … Not!” below) while at the same time benefiting from the empath’s gifts (and energy).
If you’re an empathic sort, you know what I’m talking about.

To cultivate and bring the medicine of your empathic nature (and to be authentic), an Empath is wise to understand the toxic-normal conditioning, and what that looks like in everyday interactions.
That way, the Empath can reclaim her or his Empath mojo by learning to see the bully and energy vampire tactics in play and choose more consciously what you’ll participate with, and what you won’t, thank you very much.


You’llalso honor your Empath nature with the self-care and energy hygiene that helps you bring your Empath medicine to the world (and stay as well and sane as possible while you’re at it!).
After all, if we don’t honor, respect, and stand for our Empath nature, who will?

Soulstice Rising: Ascension Notes ~Guess Who's Leading? by Kara Schallock - 2/8/2015




Soulstice Rising: Ascension Notes ~Guess Who's Leading?
by Kara Schallock - 2/8/2015



Potentially, where we are is that Soul has taken Its rightful place as leader/creator with the ego being the vehicle for Soul Expression. This is so great, as things will feel more flowing and graceful. Of course, there will still be adjustments and releases, yet we’ve learned to trust that our Higher Selves know the way. Truly, this is what Ascension and the New Earth is all about…Soul leading, ego expressing and Soul-merging, so that everything we say, think and do is all congruent with our highest consciousness. We continue to clear ourselves of old programs, beliefs and patterns so that our entire being vibrates and radiates nothing but the Light and Love of Soul; of Source.


Many are experiencing spontaneous shifts and healing and lots of synchronicities. The more Light we have, the more aware we are of anything that creates duality, fear, doubt, rejection, and anything else that holds us back in the old. It can be quite surprising when one finds that what one has always believed is simply not valid or they find themselves not doing things that they used to love doing. As we move more into this New Life, we will experience more of these discoveries. Many find themselves in compassionate detachment from many things happening in the world. This is perfect, as when we are attached to something or judge it as “bad,” we add energy to it. Being detached helps the energy flow to where it needs to be, regardless of how it may appear on the surface.


You may notice too that if you just step out of the way and are in Acceptance of What Is, things will evolve in a way that they couldn’t when you were controlling things. Control is fear energy. It says, “I don’t trust that things will go a certain way, so I have to make it happen.” This is all ego-based and part of old patterning. In the New, we surrender to What Is in Acceptance. We let go of control and struggle. We take a big breath and let go/let be. We trust in Divine Order. Do you think you’re in charge? Your true Self is; your little self is not. Source/ Soul is truly guiding things, and when you allow Source to infuse every situation, it quickly transforms into what it is meant to be and it evolves to a much better form without ego involvement, saving or fixing.


One of the many things we are experiencing is stepping out of our comfort zones. This is truly leaving behind dependencies we’ve had, as well as addictions/attachments to people, places and things (and patterns). We’re trying on new clothes. And as we each grow and evolve, we may try on many different outfits. Some will try to recreate their comfort zones and say, “See? I’ve really changed!” And yet, they have only switched one for the other. To not entrap yourself, keep reflecting back to your Heart and let your feelings guide you as to what works and what doesn’t.  And be O.K. when things shift again. No more is the pattern of receiving the gold watch at the end of a 30-year career doing the same thing emptily and automatically. Our gold watch is in each moment that we consciously choose.


There are many of us who feel a deep Peace now just Being. Not in waiting for something to happen, but rejoicing in just Being. In Being, one can truly be the Compassionate Observer and be totally cognizant of anything that no longer resonates and from this Awareness, make choices…Be, Observe, Choose, Act (BOCA!) And with this peaceful Being, there is great Balance and Stability; not the old stability, where you stay in one spot, but a New Stability that assures that you are always in the Flow of Grace, trusting that each choice and action takes you higher in consciousness; thus continuously refining your New Life.


Most of us are conscious sensitives. In the old life we were told, “Don’t be so sensitive!” Now, however, our Sensitivity serves us for we feel right away what resonates and what doesn’t. And we take this Sensitivity into all we choose to do. We stand in our Power; in our Beingness; absolutely conscious and clear of each word and action we make. As sensitives, we've learned to have loving boundaries with others, respecting them as we respect ourselves. We have learned to say no to things and people that distract us from our Knowing. It is why it is so important to know yourself and do only those things that keep you in Joy and Passion. It is why many have disconnected from anything chaotic, fear-based or dualistic. Many have arranged their lives so that the only thing they view is positive and uplifting. And in time, sensitives can be around anyone or anything and still keep their sense of Self, regardless of what is going on. Yes, the sensitives are truly our guides; they show the way. They are the pioneers of the New World.


As we stay in the Moment, know it is not a static Moment…we continue to evolve and expand; we are in one such expansion now. Things may seem unfamiliar and yet you trust that you are exactly where you need to be for whatever growth you need at this time. Just know you will keep shifting. When you are in the space of Flow, you know that everything is for your benefit and you observe the changes. Your tears are more of Joy, rather than regret. Death no longer drives you to despair, for you know that it is merely a passage. Some indeed get stuck in the grieving of the dying, including the grieving of life as it shifts. Grieve if you must, yet know the Truth behind all perceived death…there truly is no death; it is an illusion. All life continues. Even our own spiritual deaths are merely transformations. Actually you can see all death as an awakening. (Right now I have an old song flowing through me… “I’m in Heaven…”)


We are awakening to our Power. We are awakening to our true essence; to the fact that we are Divine Beings in physical form. We get to express that mentally, emotionally and physically. There are no excuses; only choices. How you feel is a choice; for you are longer a victim of what goes on outside of yourself. When people around you complain, you know the Truth beneath the complaint. Instead of allowing others to tell you how you should feel, you go within and are true to what you truly feel. There have always been certain cultural rules as to how to act and be in regard to certain things that occur in life. As a sensitive, you’ve always known that this was not how you truly felt. Now, you claim for yourself how you respond to anything, based on Truth; not role.


We have done so much shifting and changing. Love yourself for that. Celebrate who you are. And know that it will be easier because of your hard work and diligence during this phase of our Ascension. Our New energies support and create New Life, yet does not support the old paradigms, beliefs or behaviors that hold us back in imprisonment. We truly are free, regardless of how the 3D world tells us we’re not. You know this is true.  Besides, Freedom is a perception. If you don’t feel free to be you; it is a perception that may be changed at any time. Truly, the only one holding you back is you. As you accept who you are in the Light of Love, you grow in self-Trust and this is self-Love. Self-Love is not allowing misguided attempts to tell you you aren’t free. You are! You can do anything you want. And as you act from this Truth; others watch and emulate you (or choose not to). And as you shine your Light by being you, you do more than you realize; you transform the world.


That whole notion of feeling safe is also an old illusion. Yes, in other lifetimes you may have truly not been safe to be you and so in this lifetime, you hesitate. That was then; this is Now. You are safe in whatever you choose. Many have brought those past life memories forward into this life and use them as an excuse not to be all they are. Let us drop these old messages; whether from this lifetime or other lifetimes. If you need a reminder, watch a 2 year-old. Be the 2 year-old, full of Joy, exploration and a thirst for all things new. When I was pregnant with my 3rd child, in a dream she told me to never tell her “No.” Growing up I could see she had her own guidance system and she does as a young adult. I trusted her to know who she was and honored her choices. She is a very gregarious, joyful, responsible adult now; not because of me, but because of her. Our children are full-grown Souls in little bodies. As we honor that, they are free to be more. Rejoice in the children as they light the way. Rejoice in your own Inner Child; she/he is wise, for your Inner Child resides in your Heart and wants to be free to express all of the Joy in his/her Heart. When you choose to be Joy, your Inner Child knows just how much she/he is loved and this you empower in a profound way and it empowers you. It is transformative.


As you shift and merge with Soul, your cells vibrate higher and recreate themselves in your Divine Image. Your cells then create a physical Light Body. When you are in Joy, feel free, and respond to life as a child would, your cells vibrate at a higher level and open you up to more and more Love and Light. When you are in that spontaneous place of Being, your body responds as does everything around you. When you let go of old beliefs that say you’re not safe or you’re not enough or you’re not free, you expand into ALL that you are. Everything changes. There is no denial; no distractions; no doubt; and no fear. It’s all within you; right now in this Moment; waiting for you to express it in all that you do and are.


Listen to your body. It will guide you. It will be unhappy and feel restricted if you’re making a choice that doesn’t resonate with your Soul and it will feel expansive, energized and joyous when you do. Don’t pay attention to your intellect; it only knows the past. Remember that your intellect is a servant of Soul; not the other way around. We are creating in the Moment. We are not recreating the past. Take some time and see what you may still be clinging to from the past; be it a belief; something you were taught; a particular teaching…and choose to create anew with no labels and no preconceived ideas…only what is in your Heart. Keep it simple and meditate. And know and trust beyond all else how truly loved you are.
