Shift Happens [short]

hello everyone this is our friday night spiritual insights with michael murdad presentation thanks for joining us today's topic is going to be shift happens and what i want to share about this concept you know technically you could say a shift is happening for a good oriole it's a shift if you go up in consciousness down in consciousness left or right you know they're all technically shifts but the only real shift the only shift that is real and important is a shift towards higher consciousness all else is just more the illusion

more the games we play on this planet what's important relevant real would be real shifts and that is to say shifts for the better shifts towards a greater consciousness so even though we could say loosely generally anything in consciousness that changes is a shift the context here is that it's shift for the better now in context of today basically the talk is going to include you know everything from to a degree how we got here and the shifts that take us back home so to to begin with when when we thought back at the beginning of

time when we thought that we could separate from god time began so time started when we thought we could separate that's another way to put it and using a course in miracles kind of terminology but time is basically a symbol it's not real in the sense that it's not something that exists in heaven or god's consciousness but time started existing when we seemed to have separated but in a way time manifested as a statement that that we don't want the now we want a an extension on our sentence you know of coming into the earth plane

so you could say time then becomes a sort of a a symbol of us not wanting to go home yet that's why time exists because it's yet as soon as we decide to go home that will happen right now as opposed to over time so that's a bit like a you know it's important to understand a little bit about time or the illusion of time so that we understand the difference of what the now is what present is because that's when the highest shifts take place is when we seize the moment sees the now and make a decision that

basically uh is closer to reality that is reality or reflection of reality so every time we practice forgiveness and that could be forgiveness towards people events things whatever it happens to be whenever we practice forgiveness we're returning to that now moment because once upon a time there was this moment now that we said i wonder what it's like to not be present now in love i wonder what it's like to be if we could be separated not present but lost in time i wonder what that would be like and so the big bang took place and we

kind of started experiencing that time dragging out is the word i would use for it times just dragging out and you know um the now moment in contrast the now is called in of course in miracles the holy instant but it's important to remember that at one point we decided right now what would it be like and then time began so picture this as i've often said picture this as heaven existing up here so in a sense there's a veil at the bottom of heaven that depicts the separation between heaven and earth or universe experience

and even though this is eternal hearing god eternal this is a false version of eternal what looks like eternity like the when they say you know the universe is infinite and it keeps growing and time will never end time no it will end because it's not eternal it's a pseudo a fake version of eternal it drags out that's not the feeling vibe of eternity it drags out things can go up things can go down um the sun will eventually burn out then life on earth ceases to exist etc etc and it just keeps going on and on and on

but not in the eternity sense it's in the dragging on sense and i say dragging on even though some people might dispute that and say but it's all a perspective what if we don't call it dragging on and just say it's it's dragging on because if there can be anything but love if there can be fear pain suffering separation division conflict then it is not a a healthy real eternal it's a like a jail sentence prison sentence so it's dragging on so we have this this ability to say the holy instant is

in a way it's any time down here in the human experience if you imagine taking that that point in time between eternity of god and the limited universe a point like a portal that we went through and entered this universe that point imagine that drawing down like an elevator i've always called it an elevator of choice anytime you're dealing with garbage in this world and you practice forgiveness it's like getting in that elevator and experiencing a microcosmic version meaning a mini version of the holy ins

the doorway home in your own little way so you'll have a miracle you'll have a shift so shift happens there's the negative version like well you know stuff happens you know you're in this world that's the negative version of stuff just happens which which is by the way an affirmation of victims well you can't do anything about it stuff just happens that's not healthy that's victim mentality it's understandable but it's victim mentality when we say shift happens more like in an

affirmative sense shifts can happen shifts can move us into that elevator and take us up to that original point so there's a holy instant microcosm down here when i have miracles and forgiveness that kind of get me into a better feeling my center down the middle that elevator that center but then there's the macro cosmic the big sense of the shift which is the holy instant which is where when i'm not just feeling it in little ways throughout my life but in the grander sense when i get to that point of changing shifting my consciousness

shifting and saying not just a little bit but how would you have me see this god calling in divine presence it actually swoops me up right to that moment between reality and illusion where i get to choose again so that's the holy instant where at the beginning of time the universe became but also it ended in that very same split second so it's a holy instant of time where all that seemed to be became existent and ended at the same time and that means if i choose a true holy instant a divine moment of being here shifting

now then in that for all intents and purposes in a certain sense i have experienced god again in that moment that's what it ultimately means by the now the now moment of god a lot of people use that flippantly they don't even know what they're talking about i'm just trying to be in the now you know which often means they don't want to get anything done because they're just so darn present they're just so wonderfully centered and in the now i don't want to think about tomorrow i don't want to deal with yesterday i'm

just going to be in the now and they just do nothing and it's just another you know kind of false version of spirituality this isn't about that this is an awe-inspiring shift in consciousness that oh my god right now i feel so in god's presence nothing seems to bother me it's as though i'm in heaven for all intents and purposes you are because it's the doorway too you're not all the way home yet but this is where i start to create a new life from that being in that center you're not going to stay in that center

eternally you're going to shift in and out of that but our job is to keep doing our best to shift to it and live from it not just shift to it but live from it and that that uh shifting to it is primarily done through forgiveness forgiving ourselves forgiving others forgiving events forgiving circumstances forgiving experiences memories anything that we can bring to the altar so to speak of the holy spirit the holy you know the the holy altar um in the heart of the divine mother this is what i'm dealing with but i will

forgive and this will disappear forgiveness isn't just about like an obvious grievance it means every time i am sick every time i'm having a hard time paying a bill every time i get afraid of my future every time i get mad at someone i am essentially allowing myself to forget who they are and who i am which is a mistake that i need to forgive it's kind of like wow you know sorry about that i didn't mean to i you know i saw you sick and i went oh god terrible to see you're sick see i'm i'm actually buying into the

sickness having power over you you can say sorry to hear that but in the back of our mind we must maintain plugged in to that now moment of god the holy instant that says you know outside i might say to you i'm sorry to hear that but inside i say to myself this is a test for me to believe that you're a sick person but it's impossible you're a holy child of god in whom god is well pleased and i release you to remember that and i'm releasing my image of you as well and so it is you do a quick switcheroo shift happens and you'll

feel maybe lighter you might have you know visions you might have i mean for me i do this all the time and because there's there's things happening every it doesn't mean i'm i'm screwed up that i have to do this all the time it means that every day everything here testifies to us being limited beings so all day long you can live in kind of a calm like forgiving process it doesn't mean you have to have huge blow ups and dramas it's like um i could after we're done with the presentation or even this split

second while i'm doing this presentation i could say to myself isn't it funny that we still believe we're separate you have to watch me on a program like this instead of just hearing what i'm saying in your mind without having to turn on the program and i'm going to forgive myself for believing in that limitation and then separation has been cured to another level i could do that you could do that you could do it when you think you have to still drive to get somewhere instead of by locating you can forgive

yourself for believing that um if a object were to fall on you and seem bigger and heavier than you and you can't get it off of you or an emotional weight and that you can't seem to brush it off forgive yourself for believing that you are a victim of it susceptible to it smaller than it and so on all of that's very very important for us to get to recognize how to move how to shift into reality into the elevator and or the greater sense that holy instant when we thought we could separate and realized we couldn't and we were

home again really really beautiful if you think about it really just can just turn everything around it and it's and it's hard to explain to a degree it's hard to put into words that you know although human beings and the conditions of this world are constantly trying to testify to us being limited the weather has power over us time has power over us aging process has you know people events and our job is to say it does not i refuse to believe that i'm going to enter into because in that moment between

heaven and earth in that moment i wondered what it would be like if i could but i cannot because i'm one with god forever so it was cured the moment we thought it so when i say on this planet no it has no power i'm returning to that taking back the only real sense of the word phrase taking back my power the only real meaning of taking back our power is to say i once gave up my power meaning i went into a hallucination and allowed a thing to be born called an ego to make me think i'm a limited being and i went into this trance called

life in the universe and on earth that i'm a limited being but it's not true how do i deal with that what do i do about it i have to forgive myself go oops here's another time when i thought i was limited i thought i caught a flu or cold and someone said oh it's going to take a couple days to go oh okay my mind program okay it's going to take two or three days to be healed can't happen in two minutes has to be because i'm programmed and then go wait a minute that's a program no i'm surrendering that to spirit

and i'm ready to learn anew that i'm an unlimited being and i could be healed of this too in seconds because it has no real power over me that's that's what we can do with these things and again that's that's the forgiveness process again forgiving myself for having believed something that wasn't true um another way we word that is we're forgiving ourselves for having made a mistake what's the mistake i believe something that isn't true which is a mistake i accidentally

erroneously or whatever chose to believe something that isn't true the good news is i forgive myself for it last sunday i was speaking and said that awakening christ consciousness is not about perfecting oneself but more so it's about forgiving ourselves for our imperfections in the forgiving of our mistakes we become more christed where some people try to not make mistakes not only they make mistakes you know i've had friends in in my life i've had friends i've had students you know that were or even

employees and volunteers that were really into perfection so much so they just could not say oops i made a mistake no but i didn't do that or i couldn't it was somebody else and so on and so on this panic ensues from people like that they're already not at peace because they believe god is so vengeful that what they're doing in their mind is i'm just i'm just going to be vengeful on myself and say no i i must not have i'm going to go into denial because if i can deny convince myself and the

people around me that i did not make a mistake somehow then god won't think i made a mistake and i'll be vindicated or cleared and that just doesn't work because you're already in hell having to think and worry so much so shift happens this this means that when events you know take place in this world i can respond densely or lightly i can respond to anything to a person to an event i can respond densely or lightly now densely would mean i'm a dense limited person the universe is a dense limited place

so i better react in a dense limited way defend myself cover myself prepare preemptively strike all these things but that's dense reactions light reactions okay i don't even know what that is i do i do not know let me learn let me come to center god you show me what you'd have me do and i'm talking about it's not like you just go oh everything's just now just passive it might be for a moment but you'll get insights into your mind about oh i should file that paper oh i should pay my text today i forgot

about that oh i got to pick up the kids at school it's practical things to the most for the most part it's three-dimensional sure there'll be insights inside that are just about wow just a shift in feeling but the divine knows my beloved although you've never left home you believe you have and you believe you're in this world and so i don't want you to do the old mystic way of suffering and abstinence from things that are seemingly important to you i want you to love and be loved and i want you to feel love

all the way to the three-dimensional level to to the point of manifesting miracles the form of checks in the mail you didn't expect or even just a oh oh i remember i got to pick up the children it all those improving relations improving communications spontaneous insights about something you had forgotten and need to do it could be inspirations for a song a poem a painting that's how all this can happen it can all take place in our life on the you know the densest level possible if you think about it the three-dimensional stuff but it's not

me fighting to create the 3d bettered life it's shift happens shift happens shift it's in consciousness a shift in my heart shift in my mind i shifted my emotions a shift in my actions my finances my health but i have to get a consciousness shift before i can have an external shift humans typically fight to create external shifts or to deny that they're responsible for negative external shifts like a loss of a job so instead no no no i refuse to buy that or believe that there's another way of looking at this

let me call in divine presence surrender my old patterns and programs about this let me call in divine presence and see what else we might be able to do here and then you see the shift inside manifesting shifts on the outside you know and and responding lightly means recognizing we've slipped and we can bounce back it's it's forgiving ourselves it's going easy on ourselves if you think about it which i i talk about a lot in different talks but every time we choose differently every time we say i'm not

going to buy this anymore you've opened the door of infinite possibilities you may not know it yet may not get it yet may not feel it may not see it yet but every time i say oh my god i'm so worried about whatever and then i get quiet for a moment god how would you have me see this and all of a sudden whether it's an action to take an insight of something to think or whatever it's like all of that that seemed to be a weight on me a shift took place and out of my life can go that challenge it it's something that can happen

honestly in a split second and for me i was saying earlier i do this a lot where it could it either happens a lot it could be seconds i mean i swear seconds and all of a sudden this expansion of heart and consciousness is like wow thank you thank you other times it's an awakening and opening there's like this poof it's like insights inspirations insights inspirations other times this action do this anticipate you know boom move this chess piece here in the world move this chess piece there you gotta you know whether it's gardening you know

gotta remember go out and move these plants here those are not growing well because they should be over here you're suddenly channeling the internal garden gardener and you know you turn a crop around i mean all kinds of things three-dimensional things and it's all taken care of so whether it's inspirations of god whether it's insights and ideas or whether it's actions and sometimes just the feeling comfort you know knowingness that everything's okay it's all beautiful all coming from

forgiving how i think feel act what i say and or anyone else in in my life just surrendering it to god anything that's not coming from love is a cry for love so giving it to love is what we want to learn to do you know this feels a little tense this feels a little scary let me let me surrender this to god and the next thing you know there's this shift towards god towards higher consciousness so shift does indeed happen i don't want shifts to the negative and i'm not even okay with just minor little shifts to

the positive in my life i can have infinite profound shifts any shift is good for the positive any shift for the positive is good thank you thank you thank you god thank you self for making right choices good but i'm saying that don't think that you have to settle on little shifts for the better these can be profound you can become instantly enlightened you can become a far greater giving person nurturing loving person whatever you know whatever's whatever you're open to can come to you far faster by

remembering shift happens but primarily when you allow it when you create the the stage the setting the environment you want a miracle you want to shift in consciousness which will shift your outside life be open to it and create the recipe don't just throw out a bowl and wait for it to get filled with the ingredients of a meal you know it's important that we step up and play a part right how can i create that recipe for this how can i create the environment for this and everybody can do that we go and i want you to remember that we we

don't go from like sometimes we think the shifts there's the good shifts and then there's the bad shifts negative shifts there's never really like negative losses in our shifting negatively they're simply god shifts and neutral neutral feels like all those moments where we feel like life's going backwards or even is stagnant but we think it's a negative in fact since we're creating the image of god all we can do really is have good or forget the good and just go into neutral and that's good news because it means

it's never really bad per se but it's not that big of a deal either way because if you feel like it's bad then it's bad to you so fine i don't want neutral and i don't want bad i don't choose neutral i don't choose bad it's not my thing that's what we can say if i'm feeling like i'm stuck or going backwards it is not the will of love that i feel that way that i be that way that i experience that god's will love's will is that i feel goodness and expansion we are all going

to get to that place it's inevitable we're all going to repo return back to that point the holy instant where we say choose again and the grand shift of all ships happens and home we go i pray that this makes good sense to you all and that you can apply it in your lives take great care and thanks for your time remember you can join us not only 5 30 for these programs presentations but you can also join us unity of sedona their sacred services on sunday at 10 o'clock arizona time so join us if you'd like we have other programs and so
