Trauma & Post Trauma: 7 Steps to Healing

and those of you who are guests we very much welcome you you know we very much appreciate you joining us there's people all over the planet watching and participating in this beautiful experience we call unity of sedona we'll change the name probably at the beginning of the year the name of this center it'll never not have its roots in in in unity and unity has roots in christ consciousness but we're just going to jump out of the roots and straight to the source and change the name more directly something

related to christ consciousness or whatever we'll see where that goes um i'm going to go into a talk now and then our meditation and closing prayer uh give me a couple of examples of what you want me to cover today what was the second one dying okay surrender peace michael you talk a lot you talk a lot about the ego how about the id it it what it did yes what is it liberation okay no more that's good okay

um eros and dying today's talk will be erosion dying dying to meet eros okay okay so dying and judgment and boy there's a lot happening on the planet as we know we've seen for the last few years especially all all predictably and people are still emailing and so on you know asking you know would you please cover this a bit more the future and you know do you have today together so well that you need to know about tomorrow i don't know about that um but we're light workers chances are really really good that if

you're watching a program like this you're not kind of looking for religion or a thing you know just a standard thing which is great in its own right but chances are if you're if you'd be watching something like this or participating in something like this chances are you you see yourself as a little bit more of a participant and some of you may know that and some of you may not some of you some of you might still think it's all just accidental or coincidental you're just you know you just happen to

be watching a good talk or whatever today i don't i just don't think that way i don't see things that way um i or we are not on this planet just to kind of bide our time or get by or just to have kids or whatever you think you know go to disneyland or what whatever you think is your reason for being on this planet um it it really isn't nor just to look forward to the day you get a rocking chair and just start knitting you know it's these are not your reasons for being here and where's the here that you are by the

way so if you think you're here for any casual reason let's just start with this there is no here so then where are you that'll at least start your aneurysms ahead of time um if you still want to think that you're just here and oh you know this is what life's all about and there's people on tv and interviews and youtube or whatever you know being interviewed what what is life all about all this sports figures yeah this is what life's all about winning the championship or whatever it was they're playing it wow

there is no there is no sport it's an illusion and so people are investing and saying life is all about enjoying illusion it doesn't really make sense but that really scares people to think that they're so invested in things that don't exist and so even i you know when i'm sharing i try to back it off a little bit so it's not too intimidating but we're all going through a lot of things the world the planet is going through a lot right now but this is a global version of the dark knight of the soul

when i hear that word one of you brought up surrender and by the way surrender leads to another word you brought up which is peace without surrendering there's no peace you don't get peace by getting something oh i have a baby so now i have eternal peace oh you know i gotta raise that work now i have peace nothing external can give you peace you are actually made in the image of perfect piece you it's already here why can't we see it well we scratch away at our garbage enough and we have a little moment a glimmer like a tarnished

coin and you scratch a little and you see that silver or gold shine through and you go wow that's what life's all about all you did was scratch the surface it's symptomatic to think something of this world can break it all open for you it just doesn't work like that you are the gold you are the diamond and the rough we are this glory this greatness but around us is all this other stuff and so we go every so often through what i call the dark night of the soul you know ourselves to kind of launch us a quantum leap further on the

path because we're here to remember who we are and everything else once remembered it's like it's not there anymore it's it's like it's not even worth putting your time into when we remember things are so amazing you don't even feel much time energy interest in talking about what was traumatic before you woke up it kind of right the priorities shift and it's you know people use the metaphor of birthing there's the birth pains but once the child is born generally speaking it's like wow

that's what you're into right now the the the mommy holding its new baby isn't usually going do you know how much discomfort you caused mommy do you know him oh yes you did that was so uncomfortable your your mind isn't on the discomfort you you launched into something else and that's kind of what it's like on the spiritual path it's getting our priorities straight and so it's a you know it's an it's a case of having had amnesia and just remembering we're we're not really growing like we

think we are it isn't the quantity of meditations you've done books you've read class you've you know it isn't really about that those things are helpful because they trigger remembrance but the remembrance is the point people will say you know and i appreciate it internationally you know in here too you know michael it's great i i found you my teacher and so on i'm just a teacher and what i'm teaching is what's important not the teacher so the point is the awakening of christ

consciousness once that's awakened it's not like you go and then there's this workshop you did about this or this that's important now once awakened it just doesn't matter and if the workshops of mine or someone else's was breath work healing workshops it's important now to cry it out and do what you need to do to process the old stuff of life but once you wake up the waking up is what's going to become of greater interest so in your own lives if you have this ratio you can check in inside

yourself a ratio of how much you still talk about the old wounds if i were you i would say well that's interesting that's still way outweighing the glory my new life try to let that scale tip a bit more in your favor it's great to work on the old stuff but how much do you stay stuck in that that's a very important thing now that said the world is going through a global dark night of the soul and the dark night of the soul one of the purposes is the word you shared which is surrender one of the

points of going through the dark night is to learn to surrender one of the points of the dark knight is also to realize that everything you thought was important isn't in other words the dark night of the soul is about stripping us clean of our illusions but there are a few reasons we go through the dark night of the soul and i'm not going to go into that talk or that topic right now it you know extraordinarily so but just knowing that it's about teaching us surrender and the world is going through that right

now it's going through but see it's going through the dark night but it teaches you the surrender does it feel like everybody's surrendered yet no no they're still arguing about not surrendering they're finding new reasons to polarize from each other now when you die and go to the other side just go and research near-death experiences i dare you to go research near-death experiences and find me any amount of a decent percentage of people who said i went to the other side i saw this light i felt this peace and

then i heard the voice of god say thank god you were republican or a democrat or a liberal it is not it's never happened ever it's never had nobody ever said on the other side and good job for being male or female or for coming from this country versus that country race that's never discussed never and if it's never discussed why would you want your seemingly living life to be nothing but discussions about it the best thing to say is i don't know i don't know but i'm willing to be taught by god

i don't need people groups telling me what to think or believe because it's not real but but i i caution you don't go into a big rally and say none of this is real um just don't just just don't um it won't go over well because people are so invested in their stuff well the world is going through a global dark night and i can make jokes of it but i also feel pain for it i feel for people i know that people are going through a lot and right now even just recent things whether it's gas prices or

whatever else a lot of people are scared a lot of people are upset and to their their core things are being triggered and they're in a lot of pain we should be compassionate for them no matter whether you agree with their pain or not uh agree with their opinions or agree with their tears or not compassion because they're children of god who are in pain right or wrong it doesn't matter so our hearts should and rightfully so go out to people like this now the thing is if all of this dark night of the soul all these heavy topics

political religious whatever else is going on if all of this ended today it would not end today because after you go through the dark night after you go through major changes losses like we're going through in in the world remember it's easy for you to sit here and go well things feel pretty good and they are pretty good for you i'm sure but what if your yours is the child that lost died from the pandemic things aren't as perky as the person sitting next to you who hasn't lost anyone right so our hearts we feel for

them but i'm saying that if it all ended today all pandemic prices and political conversations and all that ended today which it isn't but if it did it wouldn't end because you have what's called post-trauma so even if it ended today i'm telling everyone here be prepared to go through post trauma you know and and there's going to be some people that they're like we can't wait for the new you know everything to go back the new world's going to be everything like it was it's not

it's not going to go back to how it was well if only if only and you try to reassemble your life if only you what your partner hadn't passed if only political corruption hasn't been exposed that's always been there post-trauma puts us in a position basically of not knowing what to trust anymore that's just one of the primary things it does to us you know we don't we don't know you know who to trust but who are you trusting to even define trauma let alone post trauma what is trauma what is you know and you have people who

will tell you the neurological the psychological the physiological these are all people who are telling you intellectually what is trauma and post trauma how would they know it's not an intellectual thing how many people ever sit around going you know this is interesting i'm seeing myself in some post-trauma right now it's not an intellectual process it's a spiritual emotional process so if you don't understand it from a spiritual emotional place you don't understand trauma and post-trauma all you can do is

think about it and talk about it when you're coming from an intellectual standpoint so trauma is this now i'm speaking from a spiritual place you could be a certain level of academic or physician and say i know michael's got it all wrong it's actually just a neurological blah blah blah i already said i'm not interested in your intellectual opinion i'm going to share a different opinion anything that lacks god's presence is traumatic god is love therefore anything that lacks love's presence is traumatizing

period anything that lacks love's prison now you could say well no no what about murder doesn't that lack love's presence what about war doesn't that lux you see it lacks love's presence that's the definition not to some people that don't believe in god or the power of love but that's what it is anything that lacks love's presence is traumatic which means to soak that in now for a moment what if the only problem you have work is great money is great what if everything in your life is doing pretty well except

what if you're just kind of lonely it lacks love's presence therefore it's trauma traumatic see i'm validating that you could have a pretty decent life and still be experiencing trauma so what are you gonna do well there's people that'll tell you they can fix your trauma and post trauma another drug another medication stand on your head breathe backwards what um whatever fancy technique and they can't fix it you know why because if trauma comes from a lack of love's presence there's only one thing that can

fix trauma what love which is also known as god so there's going to be somebody out there that's going to try to sell you on something that can fix trauma and post trauma they just keep talking though well you know this and rewire and all these fancy and not so fancy techniques but wait where's the love return to love so yes if a if a government or a religion or a politic or whatever out there claims to be able to fix our problems our problems are we feel separate from god and that's traumatizing and here's an interesting thing about

trauma being the lack of love's presence lacking god's presence not only will make me feel traumatized it'll actually cause me to bring trauma to the world so now we're all destroying the world all for one reason because we feel we believe as though love is not present so you and i are doing this work by no coin is coincidence it might look like we just wow let's road trip to sedona well let's google and go online and watch this guy it can look like that but what's really happening is your soul has

a contract with god to wake up i want to be one of the ones that don't sleep until the very end count me in i want to be one of the ones that wake up a little earlier okay do you know what that'll mean well no not exactly i don't know if i want to know well we need you to make a conscious decision because you're already unconscious so we need you to make a conscious decision even though you won't have to remember all these details because you're going to have amnesia when you go into this life anyway

but we want you to know if you're agreeing to be one of the people that wake up a little bit ahead of time there are some pros and cons the pros are you're doing the only thing that's right it's the only thing that's real and it's right congratulations however the downside is you might be centering in reality you might be talking reality and everybody around you is going to be like they're going to think this person is nuts the airy fairy the you know they're gonna have names for you and

you know it's gonna happen you know you're gonna you're yeah it's gonna happen you're gonna have uh maybe so extreme family turns their back on you sometimes you get partners that go into court and divorce you well your honor hold up they're ascending your honor they're ascending they wouldn't make me dinner because they're ascending court dismissed you know right it's it's like case dismissed uh the ascending one you will now pay them alimony you know things like that will go a little weird

in this life and uh and i'm sorry that it happens that way but we've agreed we've agreed to be the forerunner we've agreed to be the ones to say you know i'm not saying that means we're better than anyone else don't get into that trip because part of us would love to have stayed asleep there are days oh my god snooze man let me hit the snooze button um but the snooze button if you could even push it it just intensifies the angst inside because you already know you know that you already know

something's happening here uh you would like even those who are light workers would like to think that this isn't happening but you know it's happening this is what's always been known all of the people agreeing at the same time aztecs mayans nostradamus edgar casey bible whatever all these various sources are agreeing that this is the time where you're going to see the beginnings of the endings and a challenging period what's kind of interesting is in the big picture it'll all go by in a snap of a finger because

there's no time but when you're in it it certainly feels different you know you could have just throw your back out of place for an hour and it'll feel like an eternity if it's a nerve actually being pinched it's intense so the world is going through changes and and what i'm saying in part is that involves post trauma so please know that so that you don't get sucked in into the confusion of why is this happening gas prices let's pretend for a moment drop a dollar two dollars three dollars wow that's

great a part of you is going to remember that it wasn't that way yesterday and you're going to stay on pause instead of move forward you're going to be in neutral because when i drove forward in my life it fell apart so i'm just going to hang back now that's all post trauma there are healthy ways and unhealthy ways of dealing with trauma and post trauma none of which have to do with medication by the way well you know right so just to share some examples what would be the first thing i would have to say

would be helpful in healing post-trauma trauma or post-trauma you know it has to do with god so god first if you're going to deal with post trauma the first thing is practice some form of prayer and meditation every day especially when you start your day in the morning god first so sort of you know simple enough some form of prayer and meditation now don't just do the um standard prayers of your culture of your family or whatever it happens to be my advice to you if you're listening to this talk as i

said then we're already in a certain amount of awareness that the world is changing and we're playing a part in let's go this way rather than that way as it were so if that's the case then i i think what i'm going to do is my morning prayers are going to be a little more like a warrior a spiritual warrior you know instead of you know good morning baby jesus or whatever you know your old prayers might have been instead of just you know can i have a new pair of shoes or whatever your your primal human kinds of prayers might

have been you might want to ramp it up you might want to ramp it up and say all right you can have attitude when you pray by the way fine god source of love fine you can do that god's cool with it trust me so you give a little attitude and say wow i'm about to start a day and i would like you to guide me on everything i do today guide me in what to say and not say do and not do guide me just here i am here i am here i am and knowing that even moments throughout the day to to be able to say in wording that you

are comfortable with to the holy spirit of god which is also called the divine mother okay it is also called the divine mother or it could be jesus or jesus christ or the i am whatever feels right but call it refer to something grand you know don't just start your day with your deceased mother guiding your day go for the gusto go to god the holy spirit christ something really grand don't like you know you know my kitten passed away i'd like it to come through and guide my day to day love your cat don't ask it to guide your

life you did that when it was alive okay sorry sorry cat owners everywhere all these angry angry letters you know how dare you my left puss and boots you know um go to god go to god don't even go to your guides don't even go to your guides i don't talk to my guides if i have guides it's like hey you just talk to god if god tells you to tell me something i'm all for it go to god not because the guides are a problem they're evil they're bad not angels not a problem or bad angels are great too

just digressing just a quick sec but even angels in the book of enoch are described as there's a group a particular group of angels and light beings that were supposed to help and guide mankind but when mankind worshipped them they fell prey to it and made themselves into gods see and then got into trouble as it were so if you did if you go and deify guides angels whatever else go to god god will decide which angel which guide to tell you what but why not let god figure that out instead of you if you're such a great guide of yourself

why has your life been so screwed up why have you had why did you incarnate more than once if you have it so together why did you come back twice apparently you don't know everything go to god wow anyway go to god go to god um and i love you you guys will say i mean honestly there are people online in here that'll say michael do you mind if i check i saw this glorious angel behind you as your teach i saw this you turned to lightweight that's a great i don't deify any of it go to god why do you think it is so

magical why do you think i can do whatever it is i seem to be able to do here how is it that i become a good teacher how how could i pull off anything it's because i just go to god you know it's not like i deify myself or any guides keep going to god call in the holy spirit calling the divine mother that's what i do and i have no problem with angels there's suddenly this manifestation and this presence we call in angels to support processes that we do sometimes that's great as a support i don't make

them the source of all it's god angels are messengers and so am i and so are you it's just the difference is angels choose to remember that they're messengers of god humans like to think they're all kinds of things you know so they have so much else to do other than being the presence so we're all here to anchor the presence of god are we anchoring the presence but it's still about god i'm not here to anchor my genetic family i'm not here to anchor you know things like of the mundane bloodlines

it's not important at all that which is flesh is flesh that which is spirit of spirit so go to god go to god first you know find some way to start your day in that presence and i love one concept there one type of sharing is jesus says in a book jesus calling call on me and ask you ask me every day ask me to draw you closer to me see that there's a humility to that so the i am that god is the thing called god the holy spirit the divine mother jesus jesus is a historical character who remembered he was the christ

and told us and so are you my job as jesus who became the christ is to remind you that you are also the christ i can't be christ meaning one trillionth of the children of god remembered and that's it everyone is going to remember it's and it's our destiny because it's who we are so go to the highest so that it helps you in that remembrance process don't go to beings of any other level or caliber and and you can you do what you want to do but my suggestion go to source go to god now if you're experiencing trauma or

post trauma whether it's literal psychological past life whatever it happens to be god first my second piece of advice get to safety as soon as possible physical safety psychological safety noise level of safety whatever you must pull yourself out of whatever seems to be triggering you or traumatizing you right now i'm not encouraging you run from all your problems i'm talking about a sense of personal safety because if we don't count this as the second piece of advice and you're not safe you won't make any

healthy decisions about how to get out of trauma there has to be some breathing room god first some breathing room leave that room leave that conversation whatever it is you feel like you need to do get some sanity and some safety no added trauma in this moment and remember god is your ultimate parent the father mother aspect of god but god is also dependent on nurturing you into becoming your own parent of your inner child so god's kind of like saying i'll tell you what i'll play like a grandparent

role i still need you to be the parent not need neat i mean i need you to be because that's how you'll become that which i am if you can't learn to protect yourself love yourself treat yourself with all the respect that a healthy parent would its child then how am i going to get through to anything in you see so got to be able to grab grab hold of safety secondly which is similar to the second go after a healthy support system get to your 12-step groups get a healthy counselor have healthy others in your life support systems

a place where it's not just i got myself safe like in step two but i also know how to be around others that are safe see you're not just coming to listen to a lecture when you come to listen to me or unity of sedona or even some other teachers you think you're hearing a good sunday service when you watch certain people on tv or youtube or whatever the greatest teachers are not just talking and teaching they are creating a sacred space in which you step and you become safe which is where you can heal

see we think it's we're being talked at the healthiest real places are also going to create a vibe of safety okay a sense of safety sanity clarity wow i just i feel like i can come here and you know i don't have to be holy to listen to michael this guy is like irreverent you know he'll make fun of anything and everything in this silly world you can laugh at yourself oh my god michael you don't know the things i've done and the places i've been oh but i do and i still love you and i've been there and they've been

there and we've all made mistakes and we've all had traumatizing things we're in this together oh okay it's not like when you come in this door you click on the the live feed be prepared you better be in your total ascension consciousness hell no if we were on that we wouldn't hit click yes to sign on or show it's okay even if you think you're holy show up here and own that there are parts of us because where are we that don't feel holy yet and you're helping to download it into the us

make sense i mean i do that just because i i step in and channel this you know teach this and when i say channel this i want to make it clear that i don't i don't do that thing where i'm channeling something i don't become my job is to live what i'm teaching and i don't need you to tell me what i'm not trust me i know oh god oh man i know i i helped out at one of judy's estate cells this last weekend and there was this neighbor at that sale there's sedona's well maybe everywhere but cinderella's got

you wanted you know some of these the neighbor what are you guys doing you know you're parking in front of my house i own that property you know actually it's city land you know you don't own that well i don't want anybody parking in front of my house and he one of those guys and he was yelling at some of the gals you know and okay so you know there's the part of me that's like okay well i'll just tell the dude hey what's going on you know and find out and try to help out but he

didn't want help he wanted to just be a problem and he went on and on and on so for reasons that were actually valid um i parked in front of his house i know how that sounds i know how that sounds but but if anybody else would have parked and been too far forward or back they would have really ticked them off so i had to park in a specific spot to keep anybody else from parking where he didn't want them to be make sense so i parked there well when i went out to my car at the end of the day there was just some

coca-cola or something spewed all over my car it's still there um you know and so it's like i got in and i'm like what's that windshield wiper and it's like you know pushing through the coca-cola to try to cleanse the window i'm like okay i so i i understood what and knew what happened so part of me was thinking not today we're gonna do something or talk to this person probably tomorrow i'll wait and i wait but in my in my prayer it's not what am i going to do about this i need to ask what to do or not do

now this is how this actually rolled yesterday so at the end of the day i'm gonna probably you know and so i'm but i'm praying and i'm saying i know what i could do what i'd like to do all kinds of the human parts but what do you want me to do and what god wants you to do is always healing it's never one i have a great idea god god never does that you know [Music] it just doesn't the comment vengeance is mine says the lord doesn't mean oh man thanks for getting me in on this vengeance's mind means give it to me

and i'll disperse it that's what it means so so i uh prayed and so forth and then i saw the person outside in the early hours because they always come out and they have surveillance cameras and they have all this stuff the real real piece of work you know but the person's out there watching and looking for something to get angry at and and i'm looking at them going hmm i have all my thoughts but my prayer is god what do you want me to do here okay what do you and i know it's a healing and i love adding this

this is going to be a good one because there's no room for healing the person's not interested i don't mind saying all that i don't mind setting the stage saying god wow because god doesn't go yeah whoa this is going to be a really tough one you know neighbors are a problem it is but sedona neighbors wow god doesn't see things like that so i just surrendered it long story short i got to the end and probably minutes before this uh sale started i was outside moving some things around and this person you know they were

looking around then they got in their car and they drove down their driveway and they turned right in front of me and i'm looking waiting what do i need to do in this moment and it's like god you better show up because i'm ready um i'm just telling you my thoughts you know but turned right in front of me and stopped for a moment and then went and just waved and i went you know forget the coca-cola forget to just waved back and it was just a wave but i swear to you the the energy was all changed and i love that i love i love that

because i don't know that there's it's very rare that when i surrender something that i don't see something miraculous come from that i mean i'm talking about impossible scenarios not only circumstantial things but relations people that seem like an impossible neighbor an impossible something or other um but your goal is not to wait for the win you know the the it went your way it has to stay unconditional and so i knew i could take action i knew i should i could all these voices all these names

of things but i knew the only one there's only one right decision god what would you have me do and all i did in my action was to not do anything other than surrender it and this person something in them could only leak out one action of you know hi and i could respond with you know all kinds of options hand mudras all kinds of things but what i did was return kindness even though there's only an ounce leaking through it doesn't matter you know who i was waving at god why because god leaked through the person how because i was open to it

i could have shut my mind to that and it probably wouldn't have been visible at all so you and i have huge responsibilities that things aren't going to always go our way and and votes aren't going to always go our way circumstances and i know your head like mine or anybody else is on this planet is gonna think what it what would be the right way to go the right decision this is all about life's tests whether it's justices you know judges presidents mayorships next door neighbors partners children

all of these things those are labels and names all of them are actually just tests to determine who i am today here's what secretly is happening the universe is constantly asking you since you forgot who you are good morning honey how are you i'm all right how are you unconsciously we're having these conversations i'm all right how are you oh good good um who are you today old oh really old you just answered and then oh that jerk isn't going to call me today i'm angry i'm old you look in the mirror i'm black i'm

white i'm male i'm female all kinds of labels and the universe is saying no no no no no no no no doesn't agree with any of it until you say a holy child of god good then it says but all of our labels are not true and the world is coming at you because they don't know either so when someone's trying to sell you another medication for yet a new illness where did that one come from if it wasn't there yesterday how did that illness pop up today so you have people trying to sell you on how to fix an illness

guys subconsciously what they're really saying is who are you are you a body that is limited and can get sick and be prone to anger about people not doing things your way who are you all of this is who are you when you retaliate anger for anger you're saying to them i have no idea that's what you're saying i know they're not asking nicely we didn't have this guy out there with his surveillance cameras and his attitude going who are you people are you spiritual can you change my life no that didn't happen

but when people are spinning on you and kicking you subconsciously they're saying i don't remember who i am and that bothers me because i know there's something more than i think do you have an answer and many go running to the to the gurus i think they have the answer and only to crucify them later so the gurus have to be careful teachers of any kind authors whatever counselors whatever they are they have to be able to to see the difference to know the difference hey i'm only going to be able to reflect the

truth to you you have to decide it still has to be you many people online you know oh i found my teacher oh and use the word guru and i think it's great because it's just let's say it just means teacher i don't mind but i'm not playing a certain role i don't mind that you respect somebody but there's it's not a role i'm going to step into in the most grandiose kind of a sense we're all in this together and uh there's a vision that the woman had who wrote a course in miracles she

said i had this vision it was a pivotal moment in her life and she said and i was going up this this aisle at a church and i saw jesus on the altar i walked up and i knelt at the altar to pray to jesus jesus got up came and knelt down with me next to me that's the key we're all in this together jesus had lifetimes of struggle because he had lifetimes before being jesus he had lifetimes of struggle and confusion he just chose to not believe in it having power over him so he became christed you and i have to stop believing that

the neighbor that does this has power that that you know i know some things seem big death losses you know one of you brought up death you know dealing with death um and ultimately it's an illusion but i would never tell somebody who lost somebody get over it it's an illusion my job is to hold you my job is to be present with you how can i be helpful today you don't stand in a grocery line where somebody goes oh my god i forgot my money and they're all embarrassed and scared they don't have much they have

you know food stamps or whatever those kinds of things are you know and and they're they're nervous you help how you can where you can it's just it's the right thing man it's good when i when i do that when i give to people i don't do that the way some people for the same reasons some people do i'm doing it because it's my way of saying you have value i'm not doing to rescue a person who doesn't have enough money i don't see it that way because that's just temporary anyway

you're struggling and you're scared and maybe embarrassed and so on but you know what you have value you know let me let me help you out oh you shouldn't you can't or whatever the story is going to be yes i can and it's all i can imagine doing so the more we start to think as a we then we can change the the dynamic the consciousness of we are separate from god to we are part of god and we are very holy so the world is testing people with things that divide them not because the word the universe the

holy spirit is trying to divide them the universe is just saying hey what do you think about this ah and they all go nuts and polarize but spirit is not hoping for the polarization it's saying is there anybody out there that's sane enough to forgive each other and then those individuals that would start drawing other people closer so that you can dine with people that come from a different place i remember this at that sale yesterday this uh this gal uh probably in her 30s or something i don't know maybe or even

in the room right now but she saw this painting that she liked and it was a nude and she's like oh my god i love it it's beautiful whatever she gets it and her mom sees it her she's like in her 30s and yet her mom honey that's naked so are you at least once a day like what's up you know but she gets it well i like it mom they made it all the way to the counter 20 minutes later made it to the counter they were checking out the mom got her things and you know mostly uptight mechanisms and um it's like loosen the bone wilma come on

like lighten up a little so so so the daughter okay well i and the mom's honey are you are you sure yeah mom i love it there's little mumbles in the no the gal just goes fine and she she goes to put it down against the wall over here the mom goes turn it around don't let it show i'm like wow a lover in the waiting that woman you know shame it all just shame it all don't look okay the third item was support systems the fourth feed your soul don't just get support systems from trauma feed your

soul watch movies that feed your soul that make you go whoa i know this gal that's got all kinds of childhood trauma one of her favorite movies 13th warrior well how could that where does that tie in because it made her feel like good can defeat evil and that was important to her you know be a warrior you can do it you can i mean this was a story about a a guy who joins these warriors and he's just a scholar but they taught him how to fight for what's right see so that was important to her movies songs things that lift your

spirits right and if your if your life has been traumatizing you know listen to stuff that gives you hope i've said it a zillion times for me as a kid earth wind and fire songs like you're a shining star no matter who you songs that told me there is hope light at the end of the tunnel it makes a huge difference feed your soul movies music friendships whatever it happens to be including inspirational speakers joel osteen is great i know he's a christian fundamental christian kind of guy it doesn't matter he's inspirational

read material that lifts your spirits some of you are like oh i'm totally into metaphysics and ascension and spirituality and whatever what are your favorite books oh you know the conspiracy against the planet you know that might not that might just draw your if anything you read if it makes you go it's probably not good you know what i mean like sleepless and panic attacks and you know i read this book that told me that you know my wife's a reptilian from you know draconide star system you know you turn

on your side she's like sleeping and you're like you're only sleeping because you drained my energy get behind me satan um not not my suggestion read things that give you hope and i know that there are true conspiracies and i know there are wicked individuals and groups that are up to no good i i get that i get that but what are you doing to straighten your own life if there are let's say there's groups that are up to no good you can't even control the thoughts in your head that are up to no good

work on those and these guys won't know how to get to you you get it right just right here it's not just what they do to you you're also you know in that in that place that mode of thinking oh it's so nice to come home after work wish i could have a beer i can't have a beer because i'm in recovery oh you know but you shouldn't even have those thoughts oh i got to go call my sponsor oh my god i'm having thoughts about drinking you know you're not at peace cry it out scream it out but give

yourself credit for today not drinking and let's go to tomorrow a day at a time one reason you incorporate god in your 12-step program is what i'm saying first of all there is no you're alone in this because there's no such thing as being alone since we're all one but i forgot that we're all one so it really helps me to watch that inspirational speaker that you aren't in this alone this we're all here for you reach out for healthy supports and i threw in the word healthy support

systems not not the ones you hung out with in high school those aren't necessarily healthy support systems they're just people and your family might not even be a healthy support system please have the love for yourself enough to reach out for healthy support systems build those and don't forget to give thanks which will be one of our other ones i'm going to share one or two more but the one of the most underrated be of service to others if you want to work on trauma and post trauma be of service oh

no no i can't because i'm traumatized or i'm in post-trauma once that passes i'll be of service i'm telling you being of service makes you feel alive and makes you feel like you have purpose which counters trauma and post trauma but wait until you can do it if you're full-blown anxiety attacks maybe today isn't the day to go and donate time at the animal shelter hi dogs i'm here to help you you know take time cry scream get in your pillow man kick your feet like a tantrum on your bed and you

scream vulgarities and everything get all the garbage out name it if you need how dare you you can say anything how dare you no no more say it get it out of your system then cry if that's what you need to do curl up get a pillow in here and comfort yourself even rocking yourself slowly let that all decompress just like if you were a child and yet a parent taking care of that child what would you do honey come here let me hold you so do it hold yourself let it out of your system and then today will pass and it might

happen tomorrow do it again and again but the point will happen where suddenly i feel like i can go outside today literally or figuratively wow there are there are animals that have been treated the way i was treated working with humans i don't have the licensing or i don't have the confidence yet start with an animal because it'll respond to any ounce of love so go go take it man bring it to them you know they can sense your hurt and you can sense theirs you're in this together so be comfort you know be of comfort to

each other be of good cheer for i have conquered the world all the illusions of the worlds and all the stuff every time you can just be the presence of love how can i do that i'm not even the animal will forgive you for having your own issues the animal is not going to be like oh no no no no you go and become holy before you beholden me it's you know what that's how you'll start to remember what safety looks like and what comfort looks like well i don't even know what it looks like i didn't

have it no but you'll know this your heart when you hold someone with no ill intention you're already channeling god trauma the lack of love's presence healing the presence of love which you can be no matter how terrible you think your history was it's a choice right now i choose to be the presence of love you also will have to at some point in your steps of healing trauma and post trauma you'll have to take into account what you learned from these things it's gonna you know it's gonna be a

matter of what did i extract from this well for example i stayed in trauma a traumatic environment for 10 extra years 20 extra years because i was told you can't get a divorce god doesn't allow it so what did i learn god says run forest run you know god it's okay there i mean i've worked with people that stayed in trauma because they thought god would not allow them to leave what the lack of god's presence is what's causing the trauma staying in it didn't bring in god's presence so it's okay to say not today

so what what can i learn it could be like i'm in a family environment and and oh but it's family and people said blood you know blood relative and wow no no you're allowed to step out of that and say not today today god is my parent i don't have to stay with an abusive parent in their life if all they know how to do is abuse let me go god first and safety and safety doesn't include being in your house right now i'm not telling you to run and be make rash decisions get guidance from god that's always step

one get safe sometimes you're safer in a women's shelter than in a mansion i didn't say which one's more posh i said safe sometimes and some of you know your car has been the safest place you knew i remember as a kid i thought i wonder if i were to tunnel my way under our stairs because we had a closet that went back and under the stairs i could probably make them think i ran away and i could sneak out at night and eat but i'll just live in that little you know because to me as a kid that's all i knew that might be a safe place it

wouldn't have been it was still in their house but we're looking for safety and sanity in our lives and we make these kinds of decisions sometimes our cars are in a you know whatever it happens to be take good care of yourself and um i'm not asking you to make rash decisions i'm telling you to make safe and inspired decisions and um the last one i would say is just recognize the power of gratitude not gratitude for the abuses you've endured i i don't sit down and go hey god i'm going to do prayer right now i

want to thank you for the pandemic and i want to thank you for all the people that died from it i don't give thanks for traumatizing things because they're the lack of god's presence i give thanks for what i got from it what i learned from it i give thanks that there's a sanity that i can choose in my day-to-day life right you can be a symbol to other people because they're all watching you if you claim to be a light worker which you are if you're probably probably if you're watching this a light worker

doesn't mean you have like some special insignia you wear on your coats you know you know like you're from the enterprise you know or something um no it's it's anyway there's it's a consciousness it's a choice how can i be of help god here i am all you're doing is really choosing to be like living angels embodied angels we're here to walk each other home we're here to take each other home not i'm going to fix you it's let's walk guys you ready oh one of you stumbled let me pause for

a minute just like in day to day life where i have to deal with an issue and some days you might be the one who fell and someone helps lift you up but we're in this together so i'm giving thanks that that i know this and i'm giving thanks for every healthy decision i make that i know came from god the ones i chose decisions i've made that were not coming from god i give thanks that i got it you see what i mean by that give thanks even for those kinds of pieces to it so i appreciate your your time and your

patience i hope i've covered as many of these as i could um peace dying i'm sorry i missed eros but you know another day maybe um and and that word uh liberation came up as well guys you can't be in trauma or post trauma and feel peace and liberation at the same time not on an enduring level what you can do is the proper steps of dealing with trauma and post-trauma and in comes the peace that was always always there liberation free at last free at last thank god almighty we are free at last free from

what bondage lack of liberation right how do i get there is it is it only as a race is it you know a group of people is it only a certain color is it only a certain family the liberation comes from me being liberated released from all of my judgments all of my previous beliefs in a limited life and a limited universe see you're only symbols of that at first you think free at last we broke away from the pharaoh moses and the israelites we broke away but it isn't just the pharaoh the bad guy they broke free of their own beliefs

that they can even be held captive you see what i'm saying there so whether it's racial equality or whatever else gender or whatever free at last is i choose not to believe that right it's a belief systems it's not really a war between you and other people that aren't so kind they're actually a symbol of the unkind parts and belief systems in us and when we get it we retire them so technically moses and the israelites did not have to leave the pharaoh of egypt and hate him because if they wouldn't have been able

to free themselves in some level of consciousness they would have never been able to leave they were ready racial equality gender equality they're all just outside dramatizations of our inner struggle it's what it is krishna explaining that in the gita to arjuna this is you you're fighting the holy the wars are always holy wars and they're always within you they're never about you and someone else world wars and the same comes true is true for where we're all going in our lives right now

heavy heavy things are coming to this world but my job is to be the light and my job is to also release that which is not love or god's presence plenty of trauma people will be talking about things for the next many years that are still going to go on what are you doing to get yourself out of trauma and out of post trauma because if you don't do that you're not of any good for anybody okay so what are you doing god first safety support systems gratitude those things i'm suggesting i think there were seven so please

consider those and then bring those to other people don't preach it to them uh you know what you need is a safety support system tactful always fly in under the radar that's the great task of a light worker you don't walk in and go boom all the time more often than not light workers are very stealthy you're the presence you bring it through your your presence some of us write it teach it like this verbally in front of people great but that's not always the way we're doing it be the change you'd

like to see in the world you're welcome thank you please take a few centering breaths we're going to take a moment integrating absorbing this set aside all the stuff of the world trauma lack of love's presence it's all it is the world can't fix us no person or thing out there how many governments have you said hi we're here to be the presence of love how many medical companies pharmaceuticals hi we're here

to be the presence of love unfortunately corporations no so stop expecting it from them take your medicines that you feel you need to take do the processes do your voting do the things you do of this world that's fine but besides the things of the outside world what do i do on the inside it comes from god if i'm struggling with trauma which is the lack of love's presence i guess i'm supposed to be calling in the love love's presence you father mother god that's what i was missing help me feel your presence no

matter what i go through help me feel your presence when i'm really high on life and everything's going well and help me fill your presence when i feel lost and scared draw me closer to you because that's all i really need be aware of any time in your past that you would have defined as trauma dramatic traumatizing traumatic loss scared you could have been three years old felt fear you could have been 53 years old felt angry just let something come to mind and the mother holy spirit of god is here to share it

with us to help us remember it if it comes up it must be important must be relevant some will be not surprised and others will be quite a surprise but something's come up [Music] and just take a moment in your clear mind [Music] recognize how this is not the presence of love you were not experiencing the presence of love that should be obvious and it should also be clear that the person if there were other people involved that they were not in a state of love either think about it it's pretty simple this experience i can name it

i can tell you how old i was i could tell you what it was how many people were involved what they did what they said but there's one underlying current which is this was a lack of love's presence and if there was total love present everyone in the experience would be instantly healed [Music] so why not bring it to them i remember this experience but right now i'm calling in the power of the holy spirit you shine your light upon me [Music] you show me the light in myself give me show me that power that i have

inside where i can say to this experience this was simply the lack of love's presence like moses standing before the sea you will now part love is always here i didn't see it to all the people involved be still and know the i am loving presence of god period be still and know the presence of god tell abusers tell yourself tell the experience the environment even the cells the particles atomic particles in the room all of you be still and know the presence of love [Music] and you are then freeze framing time it's being unplugged the way it was

and rewired the way it is [Music] and then gradually it's as though you put pause on a movie and you hit play and everyone's different imagine everyone is different they stop the abuses immediately scratching their heads what just happened love entered the room that's what happened [Music] and to those souls in your life that say well after what i've done i don't even deserve love god's presence and you say of course you do we all do [Music] and lastly if there's any experience you can remember anywhere in your life including

just right now anytime in your life where you did feel love's presence go to that memory that experience [Music] even the people that helped bring it about if there were people or critters or whatever that were part of it and just sit for a moment in complete gratitude oh thank you thank you thank you thank you me for attracting love's presence into my life thank you anyone else that was involved god bless you thank you for being midwives of goodness into my life my moment loves presence wow during a certain meditation during a

healing whatever form it took thank you thank you thank you [Music] a couple of centering breaths draw that inside anchor it into your cells into your bones into your blood make your body being a place angels would seek to dwell this is a holy place that i am this is a holy place that i am here is the glory of god in this moment in me in this experience this beautiful perfect light loves presence i am loved and i am loving i am part of god and i am very holy i ask you holy spirit

to help me remember this every moment of every day and that is my question and it's all fulfilled today [Music] and so it is take your time please coming back to the room [Music] breathing taking your time very nice take your time you know when we're going through the dark night of the soul when we're going through trauma and post-trauma you're all it's it's not that dissimilar to also going through the stages of grieving post-trauma is similar to the stages of grieving in post-trauma you're going to try to

pretend nothing happened oh it's all done it's gone see there's people that just can't wait for the pandemic to be done why so they could go back to their illusions you know people say to me all the time oh michael thank you this wonderful session you know that i've had with you uh on the phone or zoom or whatever we're doing you know thank you thank you this is great i'm going to jump back into my life wait wait wait finish dying first you're like ready to jump into your soul's purpose

maybe tomorrow maybe next week maybe a year from now we'll see but you haven't even finished dying die of the old let your all of your belief systems about what the life was and your life was supposed to be your marriages that weren't your family kids that turn their back on you all those things die well and let them go i i thought i thought i was a good mom and i thought my kids would forever but they're turning their back on me and i guess i guess i don't know what parenting is i guess i don't know

what family is i know that sounds odd the universe is trying to get us so humble that we say i don't know add to the i don't know but i'm willing to find out whole new level if you keep sitting around not knowing what the third dimension is why are you asking for the fifth and you don't have to know the third just die of the old die i thought i knew what the third dimension was but i don't have a clue but i'm willing to find out and in that you'll already start resigning certain attachments to what you thought was they

start dying and we walk into a new life so thank you very much but you'll you know you might be finding yourself in those uh you know denial anger depression those are natural stages of the dying process of the grieving process what are you grieving guys we're collectively grieving what we thought was normal life we're grieving all kinds of things some of us are grieving our children were hoping for a wedding and and they couldn't have it it wasn't allowed the grand wedding kind of things you

know they were told no graduation day some were told no can't have graduation we'll send your certificate lots of dreams were lost and that's another loss grieving dreams but this world isn't real what was it going to give you anyway all we had was a pretend patterns going so it's all falling away depression and you get to the stage of acceptance but acceptance doesn't mean fine i guess uh life isn't anything and i shouldn't be happy and it's not a depressing thing acceptance means i get

it what i thought was important and real apparently wasn't but i don't know i'm willing to find out what's truly important jesus calls that in a course in miracles an undoing process when you're going to learn what you thought was valuable isn't valuable it's a very painful experience it shouldn't be painful doesn't need to be painful he says those words but it usually is why attachments to what we thought was real we're going to take up our collection and do our closing prayer

while they're preparing please be as generous as you can be online and in person this is what just it it helps just it pays pays the bills and keeps everything moving as a great ecosystem on the third dimensional level and higher so we appreciate it the prayer is on the front of your bulletins and it's posted online together please divine love flowing through me blesses and multiplies all that i am all that i have all that i give and all that i receive and so it is thank you while they're passing those it'll only
