Advice needed for work situation

Hiya guys,

I just want to run something past you.

Basically over the past few months I have felt a closeness to God that I had never experienced before since the start of my spiritual journey 3 years ago.

I truly felt I was God, my true God-self and that miracles were going to start happening wherever I focussed God's light and asked him to outpicture the perfect Christ vision for any situation. Don't get me wrong, I have been having miracles for a long time but more synchronicitous happenings than actual miracles (eg. Healing) if you know what I mean. I was now feeling that I could do some pretty major stuff if I just knew how.
I was having time to meditate and connect with God regularly throughout my day, having wonderful experiences with God and other spiritual beings, visions of being given gifts and light and honours by these beings and a very strong message that I was doing fantastically well in stepping up to a good place with God. It was great as I have always been a bit dogged by self-esteem problems and I really felt that I was finding my true confidence in God.

Then I felt a sudden huge urge that I needed to bring all of my truth out into the open fully. I was fed up with finding a quiet place to whisper my prayers or invocations, keeping my spiritual progress to myself in many ways, just being the usual mum, IT analyst, wife on the surface but with these inner vast changes to my view of myself, life, mother Earth. It was all just bursting to come out and I didn't know how.

So I started doing a bit of writing, started trying to meet up with spiritual people locally and thinking about how I really want my life to be (which is total saturation in God by the way, career in God, lovelife in God, everything totally God-focussed). And I was feeling a bit stuck but using spiritual techniques I'd picked up to imagine these changes, visualise them and pray to God for these changes to happen for me. So far so good.

Then wham! a negative situation at work kicked off big time:

For a while I have been project managing a big project that is too much for me to manage, but I ignored my inner promptings to do various things to sort out this issue in a timely way and now it's all falling about around my head, with cans of worms opening everywhere, a contract signed that we are committed to doing various things that we now can't do with penalties if we don't do them and people reacting quite negatively as you can imagine ("why are we only finding this out now with weeks to go" and the like)

I have been feeling like a failure, have had no confidence in how to articulate the next steps, been unable explain myself when challenged, have just caved in like a victim and burst into tears every so often.

What a change from the huge self-confidence in God I felt a few short days ago. And although I know I am still that God-self, I'm finding it hard to feel the God power and the miracle feeling where I can change all to success.

I am pulling myself together, don't get me wrong - I am NOT a victim, I am going to come up with a paper outlining next steps over the next couple of days and will be presenting to the project sponsors next week to explain myself and suggest ways forward. It will be fine.

I wondered the following though:
Do you think God and ourselves actually agree to co-create these situations sometimes, when we're in a good place spiritually to show us residual fears/incorrect beliefs that we haven't yet transcended but they only come up when we're highly stressed. A sort of "you can cope with this now and change your psychology"?
Do you think because of the extra light being directed to Earth at the moment to help with the Shift that all these old beliefs are coming up to be dealt with and transcended?
Do you think God is trying to tell me that actually I'm in the wrong job (I know I do want my career to be more spiritual but haven't found a vocation yet)?

I know that part of me thinks I'm a failure and incoherent and scared of pushing back when people give me work. I also know that those are wrong beliefs and I thought I had transcended them, but now they're all falling back onto me! However I also know that I didn't follow my intuition several months back when the project started because of various fears, and that's why the problems are coming now. Do you think I have actually transcended them and it's just that I hadn't transcended them back then?
What shall I focus on to get me out of this hole?!?!

Actually I feel a lot better now I have written it down. I do know the next steps for the work aspect. I'm just not sure about the psychology/spiritual aspect. Yes all these horrible feelings about myself have come up, yes I allowed them to stifle my true God-self.

To answer my own question: I vow to do what it takes to get back to that place of God-power and miracles. Whatever it takes and as quickly as possible.

Maybe that's the key. Whilst we are here on Earth, we are still prey to negativity in various guises - whether from inside ourselves or outside ourselves. We just have to vow to do what it takes to regain the power. Once the Earth is raised in vibration then negativity will reduce but no matter how right we think we are with God, there will still be incorrect beliefs to transcend and God will show us them anyway he can.

In the meantime, I also vow never to ignore my intuition again! I'm sure the situation would have been a lot less stressful if I hadn't done so.

Thanks for listening,
Kate xx

Kateywoo, my personal take

Kateywoo, my personal take is that this just is life.

I know Jochen and others can find valuable God quotations for you and and will give you their own insights.

What I remember is that God has suggested that we stop asking why! The mind just cannot understand. God also has said that our outer life doesn't necessarily reflect our spiritual state.

I don't think God sets out to trip us up.

Don't all of ushave relationship difficulties from time to time? It can't be that you and I are the only ones!

It sounds like you are dealing with the situation very well.

What especially impresses me is how you take your share of responsibility for what occurred.

God bless you.

Dear Kate, I think Gloria is

Dear Kate,
I think Gloria is right when she says that 'this is just life'. One thing that came into my mind while reading your story was that we shouldn't think we are the doers. We should let go and let God, as He has said so many times now.

I can relate to your comment on not listening to the inner nudgings. I've done the same, only to find out later that I should have heeded them. Maybe this is just a lesson to teach you how to proceed from now on. After all, God says that there are no negative experiences, but only opportunities to learn.

Love,
Paula

Hi Paula! Thanks so much for

Hi Paula!

Thanks so much for replying - it really made my day today when I saw the responses to my message. Sometimes you just need to know that people care and are listening to you.

Being my over-analytical self I think to myself 'but how do I let go and let God? I want to, but how do I do it?'

I think though that it might be that since the situation unravelled at work I have been jumping in trying to change things to what I think is the way forward. Today I really let other people do a bit of leading, and stopped thinking that it would reflect badly upon me. And now everything seems to be flowing again.

How do you let go and let God?

Love the 'opportunities' comment - I really needed reminding of that this week when I was sobbing in my bath and feeling sorry for myself.

Love to you,
Kate x

I think you already 'let

I think you already 'let God' by letting other people do a bit of leading. As for me letting God, I am still learning. I used to be very controlling and wanting to do things by myself, because I thought nobody could do them as I wanted them to be done. I've learned to let go a lot, maybe just supervising the work after it's been done. I am learning to be grateful that the work has been done, evenif it's not perfect.

I also used to be scared of change, never improvising, but only recently I've learned to listen to my inner promptings and act on them instantly. And life is flowing more easily, bringing me wonderful surprises. I am learning that there is no one right path or way, and it's no use to pretend that I am further on the path than I actually am. I am where I am and I am who I am in any given moment. This realization gives great freedom.

Love,

Hi Paula

Hi Paula,

Thanks for your response and being so honest.

I'm trying to overcome my ego's criticism of me of being 'stupid' or 'incapable' if I ask for help.It's an old pattern, and I'm doing pretty well at transcending it. It all came back a bit this week, when work was so stressful and I started to blame myself..

Maybe don't even think of it as a path, but a lovely meandering journey of discovering more and more love with no particular endpoint to measure progress against. :-)

Love you,
Kate xx

I think your answer is

I think your answer is complete, dear Scribe. The one thing I would like to add ist that while reading Kate's story, for every question she asked there were Heavenletters that came to mind, Heavenletters that address and comprehensively answer all of those questions. I wouldn't know how to find them now, but I'm almost looking forward vicariously to all the things Kate is going to discover over time.

Welcome, Kate!

Hi Jochen, Thanks for your

Hi Jochen,

Thanks for your welcome!

I love finding out more, can't wait to see what comes my way. All is so much better than it seemed yesterday. It was almost as if writing that message started the process of improvement.

Look forward to conversing more with you!

Kate, I had a look at

Kate, I had a look at another dear Heavenreader's profile just now, finding a favorite Heavenletter mentioned there and reading it. Shaken to the core, even shedding a few tears, I had the idea this Heavenletter is the perfect introduction for someone new to Heavenletters (for others as well, obviously). If asked what Heavenletters are about, I think I would recommend reading this one.
Here's the link for you:

That is beautiful! Thank you so much for sharing that with me. I have been wracking my brain. And there is no need.

Mmmm feeling great now!

Hiya Gloria, Thanks for

Hiya Gloria,

Thanks for replying and your take on the situation! I feel warmth, compassion and truth in your words.

I like what you said about 'stop asking why'! I think God would say that if you're the sort of person that asks why all the time (ie me), try giving it a rest, but if you're the sort who never asks why, then maybe give it a go...

I had a fantastic day and all is going in an upward spiral once again. I can tell from the way my heart feels that I chose some good responses today and listened to divine direction. So true that the mind cannot understand. I think the heart understands though.

I don't think it's just life though - I think we are forever creating our experience, but that sometimes we create hand in hand with God and sometimes we create from where we still feel separate from God. The universe reflects back whatever we send out. That's just my take though.

Love to you!
Kate

Another personal take

Kateywoo, dear, it is a pleasure to read your delightfully honest statements and questioning. I love the responses others are making to your questions and concerns. I am not sure I have anything to add, but I can see myself in a lot of what you say and I suspect the perspective I feel I have gained might help some.

I guess I could best sum it all up by saying be careful to determine when action is really needed and when it is not needed. Take the workplace as an example. Action is always required here. You may intend to infuse God’s love into this setting as you go about your workday tasks. If this is your goal, and you hold this intention and ask for this guidance, I believe the way to do this quietly and unobtrusively will be shown to you. As you follow these intuitive promptings, you can complete your work tasks effectively and bring more of Heaven to your job environment.

In our day to day, non-work lives we also have tasks we must complete. Just like our workplace tasks, these are both necessary and an opportunity for manifesting gifts to the world.

Then there is everything else. I can relate well to the tone of your message. I am hearing that you feel responsible to accomplish and do things, to open people’s eyes, to help when you think situations are unnecessarily difficult. In my life, I am learning that this feeling of responsibility is almost always a mistake. I am learning that this is well intentioned, but it is ego. What I think I have discovered is that the real goal should be to learn to attune to the vibration of love in all things and to let your actions spontaneously emerge from this source. The analytical mind must be encouraged to take a back seat here.

I also want to welcome you to these forums and look forward to hearing more of your loving comments. There are many wonderful people who read and comment on these forums and who are happy to help if needed…..Chuck

Wow that resonates with me SO much!

I think it's what I needed to hear. Thank you for that.
