My father made his transition this week.  At age 95 he had a good life.  He was a courageous man, a loving husband and father with an amazing gracious attitude towards whatever life presented him with. I would say it was divine.  Perhaps it was because his father was an Anglican Minister, he grew up believing you did the best you could with what unfolded. The caregivers at George Derby his wonderful veterans care home where he lived the last 18 months of his life were amazed that this man who came to them with one amputated leg, and had a second amputation last year on his other leg, could remain so positive and rehabilitate and carry on with vitality and dignity. 

I wanted to share our experience around his passing from this existence as an example of the concept of living in highest vibration energy despite what is occurring around us - that I call being divine - and to honour his memory.  

Remember that the message of this website is not to promote a traditional religious concept of Divinity, but rather to support you to live the life you long for, totally connected to the wonder of this world and the creator.  As a Divine being, you enthusiastically dive into the wellspring of abundant life and operate in a very high dimension and everything occurs like a gracious opportunity to move yourself forward. 
  

My father stared unflinchingly into the eyes of death countless times in his life and death withdrew.  It was almost as if he was playing with that energy of going beyond the veil and returning. He was known as the Miracle Man and I called him the energizer bunny.  He just kept on going and going and going.  Even as late as last week, when the doctor advised us to come to the hospital to see him as he seemed to be ready to go, a magic kiss of love from my mother, his wife revived him from his nearly comatose state, and he lived for 6 more days.  Intravenous lines removed and only respectful attentive nursing care at Burnaby General Hospital, he began to enjoy his soup and puddings for a few more days. 

We spoke of many things,  not cabbages and kings, but in his confusion, wondering where his swagger stick was, wanting me to open and close the bathroom door to make sure it worked and getting the papers to the recycling bin. 

I knew from caring for my mom who has dementia, to go where he led and explore and play with whatever it was.  

 He kept hearing a train whistle and watched the group of people waiting for the train to arrive.  He saw crossroads, but couldn't tell me where they led.  Were these symbolic as he walked thru the valley?  When I told him I was sure he would go to heaven, (as that is his religious background of life after death) he said perhaps he'd go to another world.  I think he'll have a great adventure, delighting in freedom of movement and enjoying the new aspects of existence in the beyond.  


This time, even with a body worn out by the ravages of old age, tissue paper skin that  leaked and tore when he was moved, failed kidneys and no accessible veins, he still wasn't sure he was ready to go.   Near the end he muttered  there was still so much he wanted to do. I was able to use the skills I have honed while learning to live a divine life peacefully and lovingly connected to the energy of everything, and sit quietly and comfortably supporting him as he was out of his conscious mind as I believe he was doing this work energetically.  I had decided to focus on this sacred and precious remaining time for us to be together in physicality and put no expectations or pressure on myself to accomplish any other activities.  I also chose to honour my own needs by taking breaks from the hospital room to get nourishing meals and go outside to reconnect with nature. I went home and slept well, knowing I would do what was required following his passing as it was necessary. I reminded myself as I went to bed that there was nothing I could do during the night and tuned into the support and loving energy of my friends near and far and imagined their hugs settling me.  Of course I also connected with the All That IS and knew my Oneness and Allness. 

This was an auspicious time to be leaving the planet.  There was a high vibeing celebration of global oneness day and a solar eclipse and mega solar flares. While he was unresponsive, I did a guided visualization with him where we adventured together beyond the realms of our bodies into the vast cosmos and saw the magnificence and glory of creation.  We experienced our oneness with our family and every living thing. 

That week Canadians had been sorrowed by the attack and death of a soldier on guard at the National War Memorial and shooting in our Parliament.    I believe Dad, a veteran of WWII worked with that soldier and brought in new energies that dissipated fear surrounding that event while finishing his work on the planet.   


I talk to my father no matter where I am, knowing we are always connected.  Before I went to sleep his last night on earth, I asked him to give me a few hours so I could be rested and prepared physically to do whatever I could to continue to support his choice of life or death.  He honoured that request and I got a call from the hospital early in the morning saying he had left his earthly body. 


Once again the Burnaby General hospital staff and doctor were compassionate and caring as I was given privacy to say my final prayers with him.  I knew his spirit was there as I spoke from my heart, again repeating words I had shared many times.  My love and admiration for him, my gratitude, and the knowing we would always be connected no matter how his grand energy might manifest in new ways. 


I want to share the prayer from MariAnne Williamson, from her book "Illuminata: A Return to Prayer"  that I was guided to the morning of his passing .  I modified it slightly so it resonated with the highest possibilities beyond that which I can imagine. 


"Dear God, 
Please take the soul and spirit of this dear 
departed one into the sweetest corner of Your mind,
 the most tender place in Your heart, 
that he, and I might be comforted.


For now he has gone, and I pray, dear God 
for the strength to remember he has not gone far. 
For He is with You, and shall remain so forever.
He remains within me, for we are all in You together.


The cord that binds us one to the other 
cannot be cut, surely not by death.
For You, dear God, have brought us together, 
and we remain in eternal connection.
There is no power greater than You. 
 Death is not Your master, nor mine.  

These things I believe and ask my heart to register.
I surrender to You my grief.
I surrender to You my pain. 
Please take care of Your servant, my dear one who has passed.  
And please, dear Lord, take care of me.  
Amen.


I am grateful to have the opportunity, thru the "magic" of the internet to share this experience with you.  I hope it will stimulate your connection to your own divine nature and divine aspects of your relationships.  

Happy Global Oneness Day.   Tune in and feel and know we are One with everyone and everything.  I am experiencing this Oneness as I sit in hospital with my 95 year old  father.  His body is shutting down, but he is still graciously dealing with life unfolding from his semi confused state. 

 This is such a sacred experience, as I guide him to experience our Oneness with each other, our family unit , the wonderous earth, the glorious  cosmos and the Creator. 

 I hope you can tune into the magnificent energy of this dance of physical and non physical life on todays Global Oneness Day.


On a somewhat whimsical note I think my fathers totem is Coyote, the trickster.  On the evening he was admitted I saw 2 coyotes on my way home.  He certainly has been a trickster all his life, bravely looking death fiercely in the eye during countless health crisis'.  We think hes about to transition and the Miracle Man, or Energizer Bunny as he's come to be known just keeps going and going.  Even this week he's come back from the edge and even though all medical intervention has been stopped, yesterday he ate very small amounts with relish.  


It isnt over until its over.  And of course its such a wonderful new adventure for him to embark on.  When I told him I was sure he'd go to heaven if there was one; I asked him if he thoughts he'd go there and he in his somewhat confused state said he thought he'd go to another world.  Perhaps it will be one where he can move freely, joyfully, pain free. 


 I asked him, since we're a team if he'd make sure he gave me clear signs so we could continue to do big work together. 


So on this global Oneness day I am offering you this video depicting a cycle, from one sun to the next, a day in life, symbolic of a life from sunrise to sunset, 
I invite you to feel your oneness with All That Is. 




 

In Canada we just celebrated Thanksgiving. People traditionally gather with family and friends at this harvest time and many have 
a custom of stating what they are thankful for before they sit down 
for a sumptuous meal.  


 Feeling Grateful?
 
Gratitude has been identified as the most powerful emotion for shifting people into their highest vibratory frequency. When we align with the energy of gratitude it’s easier to be a vibrational match to attract our desires 


As I write today's Divine Living Tip a song was running thru my head, with different words than the original - THE 59TH STREET BRIDGE SONG (FEELIN' GROOVY) by Paul Simon
   
      "Slow down, you move too fast. You got to make the morning last....    Looking for fun and feelin' groovy."  In my mind the words were transformed into  Look at the fun in feelin' grateful.  

Here's how you can sustain a high vibeing frequency and feel groovy by trying these tips for being grateful throughout your day.
   

•  Be grateful for what you have; income, your bed, shelter, enough clothes, ample food, appliances that work, indoor plumbing.... 
  

• Feel sincerely thankful when something good happens --you get a green light, find the perfect gift, scoop a close parking spot, someone helps.
  

• At bedtime, reflect on the rapturous moments of your day, and feel gratitude for the day’s events, including the bliss of feeling your body sinking into, relaxing and being supported in your cosy bed. 

• Be grateful for all your life experiences because they bring you to a point of deep-down joy, and ability to live in higher-conscious vibration, knowing that all is right in your world, no matter what chaos occurs in the 3D illusion
  

 

Every morning when you wake up say  "I am excited about my life and turned on by the activities I choose each moment"  Feel eager anticipation about the day ahead, knowing that you can create a reality where everything is even better than it was the day before.

Here are some tips to help you do that:

•  Tap into a sense of wonder about the world around you.  
  

• Its important to identify and choose activities that increase your passion for life. 
  

•  Be aware of when you are in the flow and select more of those activities as you dive into the wellspring of divine expression and creativity.  
  

• When you realize you are not feeling enthusiastic turned on by your choices -  breathe, get into high vibration by thinking of something blissful, then from that place ask yourself how you can create more joy or fun in that moment.

How to Navigate the BIG Shifts with Power and Grace 
                                                                           by Adela Rubio

A few months ago, I experienced a life changing event.

It’s not the first time life has tossed me a curve ball. In my circles that’s known as a growth opportunity.

Learning has been a life long fascination. Discovery leads to a delightful world of curiosity and wonder. Growth is good, right?

Massive change doesn’t ordinarily feel good. And yet there’s a certain excitement when you’ve got your pulse on the feel of ‘something’s brewing,’ even if it skews your world.

As I reflect on my story, I notice that these BIG shifts experiences create quantum leaps.

BIG Shift. BIG Leap.

What’s a BIG Shift?A BIG shift is one of Life’s defining moments. It’s when you suddenly know that life – as you knew it – no longer works.

Try as you might that feeling of uncertainty and feeling like you’re in an alternate universe does not disappear.

BIG shifts are a rift in your consciousness that cannot be ignored. On the contrary, they call for a new way of seeing and being.

BIG shifts are an invitation to evolve.

What’s Essential?
My most recent event was an electrical fire in my home, and though my physical well being has long since been seen to, it is the breakdown of the scaffolding of ‘my life’ which has created the most opportunity.

As I was picking through the remnants of my home one question resoundingly rang through my brain: What’s essential?

At first it was things like cash, clothes, computer and credit cards. Probably in that order. As the survival instinct kicked in, I looked to salvage as much of ‘my stuff’ as possible.

Images of Humpty Dumpty danced through my inner vision. The great fall had occurred, and there was no way to put the pieces back together. My old life was gone. In fact, the pathway was obliterated.

As the days turned to weeks, the phoenix experience came to life. Rifts occurred between family members, and things that I had patiently tucked away to deal with at another time could no longer be denied. The breakdown was inevitable.

My efforts to resolve family stuff didn’t really work. So I bring my attention to where my power is in full flow: within me. It is the perfect focus.

There are portions of the evolutionary adventure that are yours alone to walk. That breadth and depth gives way to your authentic power. Your own ability to feel, sense and know for yourself.

How to Navigate Change with Ease and Grace
Life is always on offer. What at first might seem like a tragedy is actually a tremendous opportunity. When you’re comfortable and things are going swell it can be quite natural to settle into complacency. Things are good, why rock the boat?

Here’s the thing… if your intention is to be a co-creative force in this cosmic adventure Life always has your back. If you happen to fall asleep on the job no worries, Life will create an opportunity for you to wake up and soar.

This requires epic trust on your part. It’s an invitation to rest in the arms of a loving Universe. And in that trust a willingness to surrender what you know for what is possible.

My path of personal evolution has given me the experience that what I share with you here is true. It’s for you to notice if this perspective can serve you in your world. Consider this…

              What if your life changing event were a purposeful pathway
                   to unleash your innate brilliance, beauty and power?

If you are experiencing a BIG Shift, I invite you to join my upcoming  30 Day Big Shifts Event. You’ll be amazed at what occurs when you partner with a high vibing community on an aligned intention
