JaySolomon8 Jay’s question: Solomon, why is it that when something really, really good happens – something I’ve wanted for a long time – I have a thrilling experience followed by a few days when I feel really ‘down’. I call this my ‘down-time’, and I can see that I need to recover from the experience as it is not an every-day thing, but how can I deal with this better? After such a period, things just look grey and depressing, to put it bluntly… Solomon Says: You have felt what is feels like to move into the place of the expanded version of You, is what it is. When you have sent forth your strong desire, or wish/prayer as you refer to it, in other words, when you have launched your desire into orbit and you have offered the words, ‘Dear Universe or Dear Solomon or Dear Source’ or whatever you call us, ‘I would dearly love to experience this or this or this next’… and of course as we always say to you, we answer immediately and your stuff shows up and is there in your own version of the Universal Argos or supermarket. As you also know, what you then have to do, your work in other words, is to align yourself with receiving… to get into the place of allowing this wonderful experience to flow to you. What we notice with you however is that you launch your desire, you KNOW that it is given instantly, and then you get into the place of allowing for a while and you feel the champagne bubbles of exhilaration that you always feel when you are in your place of having manifested that which you have set forth… And then out of this lovely place of good feeling, you launch even bigger desires because you have been inspired by the experience which now feels as if it is already in your past experience, do you see? And so you launch further desires to have more of this good feeling experience, but in the movement from where you are to where you want to be, you become sidetracked and distracted by other things that are going on… and you even try to take the action journey – because you are impatient! - to make your good thing happen more quickly, and so in this sidetracking, you are moving in and out of your alignment place and moving in and out of your Allowing place, do you see? And so when you are in the place of disallowing for long enough – and it doesn’t take long! – more thoughts that are like the ones you are beginning to think join in and then more and more join in, and then evidence quickly begins to show up for you that your negative place is all there is. And your dialogue is something like this: ‘Well, Solomon, I asked and I’m patiently waiting and I’m getting on with things and staying in this good feeling place. But it’s taking a while Solomon, do you think maybe I should just give so and so a call and maybe I should just ask my husband what is going on in his opinion, and maybe if I just wrote to so and so… And so on. And very quickly, you have moved from inspired action, which is born from feeling in alignment, to the place of action, which comes from fear and doubt… But we know that you know this is not the true picture. This is just you sliding down the emotional scale because something that distracted you has caused you to be in a place of non-alignment, momentarily. And what we notice is that you pay attention to others’ needs sometimes more than your own – from this feeling of disconnection and frustration - and what we encourage all of you to do is to be more attentive to your own inner being. If it means checking the compass every two minutes, then do it, because nothing matters more than that you feel good, do you see. It is from the good feeling place that all of your stuff flows to you more quickly… because in that vibrational place of being, you shine very brightly and we can see you. The place of resistance causes you to switch off your light, so to speak… Part 2 When your daughter was very small, do you remember what you taught her to do when you were out shopping in a busy place? She loved to go off and explore and discover things for herself and you were happy to allow her to do that, knowing that she was always protected and trusting that she had her own stream of guidance that would allow her to be in a place that was safe and not allow her to be in a place that was not safe? And do you recall how you would say to her, ‘darling, don’t lose me, will you? And if you do, then stand still in the middle of the store and shout as loudly as you can, MOMMY, and I will come and find you. Don’t move from that spot, and I will always find you and nobody else will be able to take you from there if you don’t move and you just keep shouting”… and this worked, didn’t it? Every time! She felt the responsibility not to ‘lose you’ – in other words, what you were teaching her was to stay in alignment with her Source, which at that time was reflected in you. And once she got that, she felt safe enough to explore her own world and to stay safe by knowing that all she ever had to do was to shout out for Mom and Mom would find her… Excellent example and illustrates what we are saying to you, now. There are many ways in which you can realign yourself, very quickly. Once you are feeling bad enough that you really know you are off track with your inner being and subsequently with your source, make a conscious and deliberate decision to find relief. Do not beat yourself up by a punishing schedule of housework, or shopping for the dinner ingredients in order that you might make someone else feel better, although that is not a bad thing, but if you are doing it for another, and not for yourself, initially, you will feel the drag of no energy, do you see? Your energy will quickly be spent, because you are burdening yourself with guilt… and you are expending your energy through guilt on behalf of someone else instead of expending your energy on filling you up again! Do you get that? In other words, ‘I feel bad and so now I don’t feel like I have ‘earned’ something good for myself, but because I felt bad this morning and now I’ve made my lovely husband feel bad, I will try to make things feel better and I will go out get him a nice bottle of wine and make him a nice dinner and clean the house so that when he comes home it will look great’. And so you spend all day cleaning and shopping and cooking and then he comes home and you are spent! Too tired to enjoy the evening and back to square one you go again! When you are coming from the place of guilt and not feeling good about yourself, we would encourage you to find easier routes back to alignment! Because when you have done things that make you happy, you not only have a surge of energy again, you also do things that make sure you rendezvous with others who are uplifting… how many times have you popped into the library or coffee shop, on an inspired action thought, or whim and found that the person you spoke to in there was needing what you said to them, or vice-versa? Those are the rendezvous that are the most expanding and then when hubby comes home you have something of worth and value to tell him, other than how many bags of dust you vacuumed up today, and whether or not you cooked the potatoes in the oven or on the hob, do you see? So, next time this thing happens, stop and think ‘what would truly make me feel a little better? What can I do that will make me feel excited and eager and content and happy again?’ And find that thing and make sure you are doing it only for you. For as we have said many times before, if you are not a full vessel you have nothing to give another anyway! Only when your cup is overflowing do you have excess to share, do you see? So in conclusion, we would say to you ‘focus on streaming your experiences in a way that is more seamless” and we know this takes practice and what we also want to say is that it doesn’t matter if your life zigs and zags and meanders a little. That is just how life is sometimes, and all of it is experience, but what you can do is make peace with all of those things and enjoy even the down times, for they are valuable in their own way… You are all beautiful stars and you all glow in your own orbit and your own light adds to the Universal Whole and always will You are so loved.
