19th Dec 2015 Connective Session: Shadow Attributes

Its great to catch up with all of you again after 3.5months break.

We had the chance to discuss on the subject ” Shadow Attributes” or what the common folks called “Inner Darkness”.

Facing and embracing your inner darkness has nothing to do with becoming evil. It is also not an impossible task that will overwhelm and destroy you. It’s looking at all you, and only you can embrace all of you. One of the biggest problems many of us face come from running from our inner darkness. Some people go to great lengths to do all kinds of good deeds to try to erase, counterbalance, or avoid their darkness, but wherever you go, there it is. When unconfronted, the darkness thrives. It exists precisely because we don’t look at it. That is the nature of the dark. It is the absence of the light. Just start to turn and look at it, and already it is evaporating.

In psychology, the dark side of human nature is often described as the alter ego, the id, or the lower self. The great Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung called it the “shadow.” By shadow, he meant the negative side of the personality, the sum total of all those unpleasant qualities that we would prefer to hide.

Kath leveraged on Ghetto Tarot (a photographic interpretation deck) to guide us to interpreting our shadows. We then went on to understanding our shadows and how to dissolve these shadows through the guidance of the tarot.

By knowing our shadows, we created awareness of it. Then we should acknowledged and faced it courageously.

5 Tips For Facing Your Shadows

Get an outside perspective. Many people are so mired in their beliefs that they have no perspective about themselves or how they influence other people. This is good time to ask for outside perspectives from friends and family. You will also have to learn how to listen to criticism, which is always a worthwhile spiritual practice.
Journal. Now, that you have some more perspective, it’s time to sit down and consider what people are telling you about how you act and how you treat others. Why do you act that way? Why do you treat others the way you do? These are some starter questions to get you going.
Be vulnerable. There’s no comfortable way to be uncomfortable, and a lot of those painful feelings are going to make you feel intensely vulnerable. Lean into this discomfort and see what you find.
Keep breathing. Especially when some old pain and trauma starts surfacing, it’s easy to let the ego-self convince us that we’re being overwhelmed and can’t handle it. Keep breathing. Focus even more on your breathing the more intense the emotion coming up. Emotions are always in motion, so they will pass, possibly making space for a new self discovery.
Find help. If you really are struggling, this is why spiritual healers, therapists, psychologist, psychiatrists, and spiritual teachers exist. Asking for help can be a really important step in facing things that feel too frightening to look at on your own.

In our future sessions, we will continue to listen deeply to our souls so that we start setting goals in total alignment with what our SOUL is craving for.

We will continue to discuss topics that will nourished our limited time on earth. Am sure all of you will emerged everyday as more innovative and successful CREATOR of your life.

Namaste.

With Love & Hugs.

06th Sept 2015 Connective Session: Self-Awakening

Thanks for your time with Kath on the 06th Sept 2015 . I am humbled. Thanks Universe and all angels for supporting our learning.

Kath shared so many stuffs. However, the highlights are:

1) Awakening Series – Auto Correction Mechanism 1: “You can have anything you want as long as you don’t need it.”

Need is a fear based energy and anything that comes from need is actually rooted in a sense of lack within you. You cannot—with true satisfaction—manifest what you love when you are in need, or therefore, in the lack of the very thing you desire. When you remember that, you’ll allow things to come to you rather than chase things.

Important minor detail: when you are in need of something, or driving a desire out of fear, it’s not that it won’t manifest because it will, but you will still feel a sense of lack or need, or insecurity of now losing what’s been manifested. You would have experienced this somewhat like when you set out on a goal and you complete it and think to yourself, “is that it?”
The problem: Needing something that you would otherwise love out of fear or lack.

The solution: Rather than focusing on what you desire when you feel a need for something, focus on all the things you do have in your life right now, feel abundant in that, and give space to your desire until the need drops away.

Sometimes you have to be patient, but when the need melts away by focusing on what you already have, you will realize you’re more abundant than you thought, and you can re-connect with what you originally desired out of a pure love rather than need.

2) Awakening Series – Auto Correction Mechanism 2: “You want something in life, ask for it — but from within your heart first.”

It’s not as important to ask another for what you desire as it is to connect with the feeling of love that you have for something. If you are in your heart, then you’re in an open energy, which is the energy of receiving. It’s when you’re open that you attract more possibilities in your life.

And actually, you don’t really “attract” more possibilities! You merely realize that those possibilities have always and will always be there, when you’re open because openness is love and love is infinite.

The problem: Asking for something that you may, or may not, deserve will get you results ONLY sometimes.

The solution: “Don’t look for why you don’t have, look for why you deserve to have.”
If you can focus on the feeling of why you love something with your whole heart, you will feel as though you already have it. When you are one with something, it’s yours. First feel it in your heart, then be patient as you realize you deserve it the more you connect with the feeling of love for it.
NOTE: You don’t need to believe in yourself, or become a deserving person; the way you deserve something is by loving it completely.

The truth is that it’s impossible for you not to have what you truly love. Love is an infinite energy; and it’s your natural state of being.

The next part of our gathering, Kath also shared her thoughts on some questions on spirituality and the so many “Whys.” queried from the participants.

Pondering Questions:

What is the purpose of spiritual enlightnment?
What is the purpose of leaving the Source and going back to the Source?
What happens after we attain enlightenment?

Well, Katherine does not have any “right” answers or a matter of fact, there isn’t any right answers but more of what’s connected to individual souls, nonetheless, she shared her thoughts and ideas.

For Katherine, she choose to live life SIMPLY. Just Breath and that’s IT. Life as IT IS. I am IT. IT is IT. IT is I AM. I AM is I AM. PERIOD.

Finally, we ended with our ORANGE SQUEEZE and Juice FEAST.
When you squeeze an orange, you get orange juice because that’s what inside. When someone puts the pressure on you and out of you comes anything other than love, it’s because that’s what you’ve allowed to be inside. Once you take away all those negative things you don’t want in your life and replace then with love, you’ll find yourself living a highly functioning life.

For the next 3 months, Katherine will be out for explorative travels.

We shall meet again on December 2015.

Namaste!

29th August 2015 Connective Session: Self-Alignments

Part 1: Our Alignment Tool – Mantra

In the last connective gathering, Kath shared one of a Alignment Tool: Mantra

Mantra in Sanskrit means tool or instrument of the mind. Mantra are short repeated words or sayings that can be used as a form of relaxation or meditation. They can be simple sounds like “Om” or can be longer sayings, such as: “I breathe in. I breathe out.”

Practicing Mantra can calm one’s mind. We encouraged all to create your own mantra and chant at least 07 times or 108 times if you have the time.

Kath also shared the one-word Mantra – “Shima”

Shima” is a Hopi word meaning “love”. Hopi is a tribe of Native American people. This mantra is about loving everyone in this world.

Part 2: Vibrational Range

When you visualise to overcome something that is wrong, your thoughts are diluted with the “lackful” side of the equation. In time, your physical condition will acquiesce to your dominant thoughts. There is a vibrational frequency range of our thoughts.

Everything about your life is coming to you in response to the focus of your thoughts.

As you imagine and visualize and verbalize your new story, in time you will believe the new story, and when that happens, the evidence will flow swiftly into your experience.

The Law of Attraction is responding to your thought, not to your current reality. When you change the thought, your reality must follow suit. If things are going well for you, then focusing upon what is happening now will cause the well-being to continue, but if there are things happening now that are not pleasing, you must find a way of taking your attention away from those unwanted things.

You have the ability to quickly change your patterns of thought, your vibrational range varies and eventually… your life experience.

Every subject could be seen as 2 subjects – “what is wanted” and the “lack of what is wanted.”

Each subject Has a Varied Vibrational Range. So merely focusing upon the subject, or idea, of money is but the beginning of necessary focusing, molding of the vibrational energy, required to bring money to your experience. You need to aware where are you at the vibrational range by understanding your emotions and how you feel. You get what you feel about when you think about!

What is actually happening in your experience relative to the subject of money always matches the essence of your vibrational offering. Observing what is manifesting, or happening to you, can give you accurate reading of where you are on the vibrational scale BEFORE things manifest.

Try this Exercise

Take 15 minutes daily, thinking of pleasant scenarios regarding your body, with the sole intent of enjoying your body and appreciating its strength and stamina and flexibility and beauty. When you visualize for the joy of visualizing rather than with the intention of correcting some deficiency, your thoughts are more pure and, therefore, more powerful.

We shall meet again next gathering.

Namaste!

16th August 2015 Connective Session: Forking Off

In this gathering, we worked towards forking off our unwanted beliefs systems.

The Forking Off Process

A technique to shift our belief systems from the flawed or unwanted state to a more positive and helpful trend on the Emotional Guidance Scale and our Belief Guidance System. Shifting our emotions and thoughts process in the moment is a very very powerful part of attracting more of what we want in our life.

Belief

“A belief is nothing more than a chronic pattern of thought, and you have the ability—if you try even a little bit—to begin a new pattern, to tell a new story, to achieve a different vibration, to change your point of attraction.”

We invested some time to reflect on:

What is your belief system about SELF / ROMANCE / MONEY / HEALTH ?

Then, Kath went on to Fork out your flawed and unwanted belief system and “re-engineered” a helpful belief system into your unconscious & subconscious levels.

You are manifesting the essence of what you are thinking about.

As you imagine and visualize and verbalize your new story/belief , in time you will believe the new story, and when that happens, the evidence will flow swiftly into your experience. A belief is only a thought you continue to think; and when your beliefs match your desires, then your desires must become your reality.

Nothing else in your experience responds as quickly as your own physical body to your patterns of thought.

Till we meet again end of the month.

Namaste!

26th July 2015 Connective Session: Triggers and Vortex

In our latest gathering, we shared about our Triggers.

We’re surrounded by all types of triggers. You see a favourite snacks and your saliva ticks; the sight of a stapler invokes all the stresses of work; looking at that one book always gives you ideas. These triggers prime a response in your brain for all types of habits. Giving your environment an overhaul—with your triggers in mind—can make you more productive, happier, conscious expansion and goal oriented.

Identifying your triggers is key.

Take a moment to notice any strong negative emotion you’re experiencing. If you’re not feeling anything negative now, congratulate yourself, and then think about the last time you were upset. Whether your unpleasant feelings are present or past, don’t judge or resist them. Send your memory backward in time to find the moment when you switched from “okay” to “not okay.” Did you begin feeling bad at breakfast this morning? While going to bed last night?

You won’t even think to identify your trigger until after it’s pulled. But with continued attention, you’ll start recognizing triggers sooner, and one day, even as you’re firing off shouts or tears, part of you will be saying, “Oops, there I go again.” You’ll then have a choice: Continue to blast, or put the safety on your psyche.

Throughout our last gathering, Kath mentioned many times about being in alignment with our vibrational vortex.

So what’s is Vortex?

The vortex is alike to alignment to Source energy. (Or whatever you call Universe, God, All That Is, etc.)

Being in the vortex means you’re at one with who you really are, you’re feeling fab, and in vibrational alignment to your desires. It’s represented by feelings like enthusiasm, inspiration, passion, joy, and appreciation.

Being out of the vortex means you’re energetically kinked, not letting in the good stuff you’ve been calling in. It often feels frustrated, hopeless, fearful, or angry.

Being in the vortex means you’re experiencing the kind of alignment that fosters magic and miracles. It’s where you get inspired answers to your questions. It’s where things come together beautifully. It’s where you feel on top of the world!

You can tell whether you’re in or out of the vortex based on how you feel. When you feel good, you’re in. When you feel crappy, you’re not in.

The vortex is also where you want to take action from. That “aligned” state is a great time to make the phone calls, place the orders, sign the agreements, say “I do,” create the business plan, etc.

Because if you do anything outside the vortex, it’s not likely to pay off in ways you’d prefer.

So getting in is pretty important for having a life of ease and flow like deliberate creators know it can be.

Are you in your vortex today?

Passionately Sharing,

Katherine Goh

12th July 2015 Connective Session: Higher Self Connection

Last class, we are privileged to gather together discussed, learned and shared our experiences in connection with our Higher Self. Every gathering is so precious…a space for us to excel in our own pace and us acknowledging self-love is part of our growing process.

More people are now discovering that they have a Higher Self – an omniscient source of intelligence guiding their lives with meticulous care and wisdom, navigating the right people and situations into view for the highest and best learning potential, and perpetually trying to communicate directly through synchronicities, visions and dreams.

Those who make an accurate, stable connection with their Higher Self truly awaken the genius within – tapping into a limitless reservoir of creativity, intelligence and flawless guidance available to each and every person. Many times when we are tapped into our higher consciousness, we experience the “Ahas” moments.

Discovering the higher self is an important part of ascension, which has been depicted in many artistic ways.

Recap of our sharing:

Individual life & auric field updates + what to look out for till our next meeting.
Connecting to your Higher Self Meditation (pls do at least 2 times in a week)
The Poseidon Trident spread: Guidance on “The truth of who you are. “
<Connection to your Soul, Collaboration with your Physical Self , Completion of the Soul and Physical body>

Human Souls are made of Love. Compassion is one of our Earth work. ~kg

Katherine would love to share the Seven Advices epitomizes the highest sentiment of humanity, transcends religious boundaries, and encompasses the common values of all religions:

1. In generosity and helping others: be like the RIVER

2. In compassion and grace: be like the SUN

3. In concealing others’ faults: be like the NIGHT

4. In anger and fury: be like the DEAD

5. In modesty and humility: be like the SOIL

6. In tolerance: be like the OCEAN

7. Either you Appear as you are, or: be as you Appear.

I shall end with a poem by Charlie Chaplin on Self Love, “As I Began to Love Myself”

As I began to love myself I found that anguish and emotional suffering
are only warning signs that I was living against my own truth.
Today, I know, this is “AUTHENTICITY”.

As I began to love myself I understood how much it can offend somebody
As I try to force my desires on this person, even though I knew the time
was not right and the person was not ready for it, and even though this
person was me. Today I call it “RESPECT”.

As I began to love myself I stopped craving for a different life,
and I could see that everything that surrounded me was inviting me to grow.
Today I call it “MATURITY”.

As I began to love myself I understood that at any circumstance,
I am in the right place at the right time, and everything happens
at the exactly right moment. So I could be calm.
Today I call it “SELF-CONFIDENCE”.

As I began to love myself I quit steeling my own time,
and I stopped designing huge projects for the future.
Today, I only do what brings me joy and happiness, things I love to do
and that make my heart cheer, and I do them in my own way and in
my own rhythm. Today I call it “SIMPLICITY”.

As I began to love myself I freed myself of anything that is no good for
my health – food, people, things, situations, and everything that drew
me down and away from myself. At first I called this attitude
a healthy egoism. Today I know it is “LOVE OF ONESELF”.

As I began to love myself I quit trying to always be right, and ever since
I was wrong less of the time. Today I discovered that is “MODESTY”.

As I began to love myself I refused to go on living in the past and worry
about the future. Now, I only live for the moment, where EVERYTHING
is happening. Today I live each day, day by day, and I call it “FULFILLMENT”.

As I began to love myself I recognized that my mind can disturb me
and it can make me sick. But As I connected it to my heart, my
mind became a valuable ally. Today I call this
connection “WISDOM OF THE HEART”.

We no longer need to fear arguments, confrontations or any kind of problems
with ourselves or others. Even stars collide, and out of their crashing
new worlds are born.Today I know THAT IS “LIFE”!

27th June 2015 Connective Session: Silence ~ Connection

A day of silence is meant to be a day of self introspection to decide in values, eg: humility, love, patience, gratitude, etc… that should kept forever.

Silence meditation is a restorative and inspirational space for you to take-a-time out from the demands of busy-busy complicated lifestyles. Surrounded and protected by the matrices that Kath has prepared for that day, this is the time where you can take time-out, nourish your body and soul, and find yourself again.

We did two Meditations at our gathering.
1) Existence

2) Your 3 Value Words and how these words are aligned to your highest self.

Connection: Deep Connection with our inner and outer worlds.

In order for us to truly understand the world around us, we need to explore the world within us. This world is characterized by diversity, produces personal energy through creativity and innovation, and is organic in nature.

We may think that everything we are experiencing in our external reality is a reflection of our inner consciousness, therefore when we see negative events that we feel we aren’t presently creating, we become confused and frustrated. We start doubting the law of attraction and our reality creation powers. The truth is that although the outer world is a reflection of the inner world, it is only a partial reflection. What we see in the visible world is not all there is.

Like the tip of an iceberg, there is a whole portion that remains submerged under the surface of the water. The outer world is the exposed portion while the inner world is the hidden portion. When we create reality by setting an intention, there is an entire process of events that appears in the inner world. Each event is connected to another until finally the full manifestation of the intention is realized. What we see in the outer world is only part of the process as it unfolds over time.

When we see bad things happening, we wonder why it is so when we know we did not consciously intend them to happen. When we set an intention to create wealth, we may encounter loss. When we set an intention to have a better relationship with someone, we encounter obstacles or conflict to make it worse. Actually what we are facing is only temporary. Those very events that appear as bad are really not bad at all. They are just part of the process of things turning into our greatest good.

What is required at this point is Faith and Courage. And these are skills that can be learn. Have you learn them well?

“When you connect to the silence within you, that is when you can make sense of the disturbance going on around you.”

Till we meet again.

13th June 2015 Connective Session: The Creation Theory

This session we discussed The Creation Theory.

Creation Theory: The Creation Traditions and the “books”.

Note this is a story theory… There isn’t a need for you to agree or disagree. This is not Katherine’s objective for this session.

The purpose is for you to activate your thinking on this conversation and through our discussions expand your thoughts horizons.

The three parts of the wisdom of the whole universe.

1) Creation of Matter (地书 – Book of Earth) —- Book of Shadows

2) Creation of Universe (天书 – Book of Heaven) —— Book of Life

3) Creation of Life (人书 – Book of Human ) —–Book of the Dead- The Book of coming forth.

6 days of the creation story represent consecutive States in our spiritual rebirth and growth, the process that we call regeneration.

1) The first state, corresponding to the first day, is one of spiritual darkness, before our regeneration starts.

2) The second state, corresponding to the second day, is one of recognising that some things of faith and love come from the Universe while others come from ourselves. This enables us to separate worldly, external things from spiritual, internal things.

3) The third state is one of repentance, when we operate from internal motivation, but speak and act believing that these thoughts and actions come from ourselves.

4) The fourth state moves us forward to thinking and acting in faith and love because we feel we want to, rather than because we feel we ought to.

5)The fifth state is one of coming alive spiritually, when we recognize that the goodness and charity that flow from us are a consequence of the truth and faith we receive internally from the Universe.

6) Following on from this, the sixth state occurs when we realize and accept that the Universe Itself is the source of all love and wisdom that motivate us and guide us on our path back to home.

7) The seventh day, on which Universe rested, corresponds to the seventh state of regeneration, in which we rest in the peace and joy of allowing ourselves to be totally led by the Universe, knowing that IT will guide us through our present life on earth and our future life back home.

If we agree with this interpretation, we can accept both the scientifically calculated age of the earth AND the creation story in the book of Genesis as an allegory for the spiritual development, the regeneration, that we must undergo in order to live in “heaven” for eternity.

Till our next sharing…

31st May 2015 Connective Session: Ambition Thought Process

As we emerge from the world of spirit at the moment of birth, we started this journey of acquiring an identity that’s virtually opposite of our true self. This is the “Ambition period” – The period of the development of the ego or the false self.

Its a sharp contrast to our “From-ness,” where Ambition was unknown largely because we simply allowed ourselves to be lived by What Is. We are our authentic self, free of interference.

Thus begins the journey of being nobody to being immersed in a “somebody in making”. Ego insists that we traverse from nothingness to something, from being nobody to being someone, from oneness to twoness, from unity to separation; the separation of our authentic self. It is this journey that requires us to edge God out and learn to believe in a false self.

Ego’s job at this stage is eliminating our nobody status by encouraging AMBITION and creating a new (albeit false) identity.

Ego is the cause of our troubles. If we want to live a happy, free and blissful life, we need to learn to search ego by ignoring it. But ego is great at resisting our effort to ignore it, and will do everything it can to prevent us from sacrificing our somebody status. Ego wants us to be a somebody who is more important than the other somebodies.

There are six lies that the ego wants us to believe:

1. Who I Am Is What I Have
2. Who I am is What I Do
3. Who I Am is What Others Think of Me
4. I am separate from Everyone Else
5. I Am Separate from What’s Missing in My Life
6. I AM Separate from God

Today in the world, we need to bring about simple sense – life sense. Right now, people only have ego sense, they have no life sense. They are ego sensitive, not life sensitive. When you are like this, you only see yourself as life, no one else is life. You can trample upon anything and anyone. But if you are life sensitive, everything is life in your experience, so you naturally behave very sensibly and respectfully with every other life around you. The ego will no longer be a problem if you become life sensitive and lies that ego wants you to believe in …. no longer have any interference to our lives.

Till our next sharing,

Katherine Goh
