A Lesson  Learned on the Chief Joseph Trail
Journey OM, A Soul Journeyer’s Adventure

On the trail of my pilgrimage I awakened to being the “Divine Vessel for Thy Will to Flow Through.”  Starting out I had big plans to heal the wounds of the land and its people from 1877.  I quickly learned it wasn’t about healing the land, releasing karma (mine or others), or rectifying the misqualified deeds of history. Unless of course, I chose that to be my purpose. 
 
On my Journey OM pilgrimage, Chief Joseph taught me that all paths lead to One and of our free will we decide which trail we take. There are many paths to Oneness and all are the RIGHT path. Only the experience will be different depending on choice. Choose wisely.

One pathway is of searching and purifying−Release.  One pathway is the realization that all gifts have already been given− Receive.

I discovered the choice to Release is a limited view, holding a much lower vibration than simply opening to Receive the gifts of the Universe.  Releasing and Receiving don’t mix. They simply are different frequencies. The path of Release requires you to be in the identity of your physical form.  The path of Receive requires you to embrace your Divinity.

Think of Release and Receive as two mountain trails.  

The path of Release requires keeping your eye on the trail, watching your every step to avoid tripping, being ever vigilant to avoid the rocks and pitfalls. On the path of Release you will see only the footprints of those who have gone before you; others’ footprints− their blueprint− not your divine blueprint. You will be so busy following the trail; you’re unable to look upward for chance of stumbling. You will not see the blue sky, the birds soaring and the trees swaying.  If you choose the path of Release it is an eternal path of purification; a path of many miles that seemingly never ends. 

The path of  Receiving is one of walking in our Light, looking skyward and seeing the hawk soar, and the clouds dance. The path of Receive is to be who we are in our pure God essence, beyond this fleeting, transient identity, when we fully embrace your I AM Presence and our God Self. Receiving is simply opening our arms as wide as we are able, breathing in the breath of life, gazing skyward and simply dancing in the rain of endless abundance.

Both trails, Release and Receive are littered with diamonds. Your journey can be one of Release − digging and searching for the rare, sacred jewel through layers of rock and dirt. Or Receiving− scooping diamonds by the handful strewn along the trail.  Why dig when with a simple change in perception you can scoop diamonds by the shovelful?  

You can choose your journey to be one of healing− another great masquerader of Release. But healing is hard work. It’s choicefully walking into areas of pain, suffering and lack. Consider for a moment that perhaps God is providing you a reprieve in this lifetime and asking you to  Receive luminescent joy and bliss − scooping the diamonds instead of digging for the buried one.

Things we think need “Releasing” are illusions, third dimension creations. In God’s Truth of Love and Light they don’t exist. Unless, of course, we believe they exist. And then they need to be Released.   

Sometimes you will find yourself on the path of Release and you’ll feel it. We’ve been duped into thinking that we must work hard and pay our dues to achieve greatness. “Work hard” and “pay up” are not the language of God. When you experience the path of Receiving you will know it by the grace of Peace.  Receive or Release. That will be your choice every step of the way and your life’s experience will reflect that choice in every moment.

Peace All Ways,
Shima
