A sense of impeding magic in the air

Hilarion’s Weekly Message via Marlene Swetlishoff for January 25-February 1, 2015 

Beloved Ones, 

Many of you are finding the adage “know thyself” as a common theme that is shared by all at this time in one form or another. The fine tuning and recalibrating is still taking place and now you look ever more closely within yourselves to look at all the patterns you have played out throughout your lifetime and are now willing to face self in all its many facets. You are willing to take full responsibility for all that has shown up in your lives. You know you are the one who first created the experience in order to bring this pattern to the surface, as that which has limited you in your forward movement and which needs to be transmuted and released. Open your hearts wider to this experience and be willing to see the beauty of the gift it has given you. It has brought you freedom from self-imposed suffering and has assisted you to move beyond former limitations, sometimes in unexpected and totally surprising ways. 

You now look at how you may further allow the unfolding of your greater perceptions, seeing your life and the events in it from the perspective of your Divine Self. You see the dramas playing out around you and lovingly detach from them. You realize that there are always cycles, ebbs and flows in the patterns that are unfolding. You resolve to work in harmony with these energies rather than resisting the gifts of awareness that they bring. You are being moved on the path towards greatness of spirit and creativity that has always resided within you. Your new beginnings beckon with infinite possibilities and there is a sense of impeding magic in the air, a sense of something wonderful that is soon to come into view. As you move towards the manifestation of your dreams, you are also shining the light that you are as a beacon of hope for others and are uplifting the energies for the collective. 

As you hold the higher ground that you have claimed as your own, you inspire and uplift the people in your sphere of influence. Know that you are perceived from a place of respect and admiration now. The flow of the river of life is sweet and joyous and you experience many more moments of sublime bliss, as you daily go within to the core of your Divine Self. You look to the light to conquer and transmute your thoughts as they come in your spiritual practices and thus gain many new insights and wisdom through this experience. As you connect to the higher version of your self, you strive to make it even more beautiful and significant and in so doing, you ignite the light in the hearts of others. 

Always trust in your powers of perception and intuition. Following this guidance will steer you in the direction of your highest and greatest good. You will stay in the flow of the beneficent energies of the universe which will unerringly put you on the path of divine and right timing, and everything in your life will work out well. Connecting daily with your Divine Self brings in its power, beauty and majesty. The puzzle pieces of your life to the present now come together in exciting and magical ways to create the reality you have been seeking. 

The adventure of many lifetimes now stretches before you and you know that you have the tools necessary to make it count. You have everything that you need within you and you move onto the next step of your spiritual journey with confidence, grace and ease. By staying present in each moment, you are led unerringly to achieve your highest good in the manifestation of your most heartfelt desires. The road to mastery of self becomes easier because of your willingness to own all of your experiences as an integral part of it. 

Until next week…

Give-Aways and Peak Experiences

by Misa at Awakening the Sacred Feminine 

A few days ago, I interviewed a dear friend and colleague, Chris Davis, as a Woman of Power and Spirit. You’ll be hearing her story soon. 

During the interview, she reminded me that I introduced her to the concept of “give- away” in spiritual practice some years ago. Give-away has a way of stimulating the spiritual journey. 

When you know it is time for you to share your gifts with the world in a new and more deeply meaningful way, you begin with your giveaway.

For example, before I was taught how to pour a sweat lodge, I was asked what I would be giving away. Before I was introduced to my husband and began our sacred work together, I knew there was something I needed to give away. Before I began offering spiritual counseling, I had something I needed to give away. Before I did my first vision quest, I had to make my give-away. 

The give-away can be a physical offering, or the release of a belief or attachment, and most often, it is both. Throughout my life I have given away almost all of my possessions more than once. I have given away my partnership with my beloved, my home, job, sums of money, and I have given away addictive substances like sugar. 

With each give-away, I was letting go of attachments to certain beliefs and fears in order to develop a greater trust in the Divine. In some cases, what I gave away came right back to me—like my beloved husband. 

Because I love my husband so much, he would be the hardest person to lose. He is the one I tend to cling to. More than once, I have been called to give-away an attachment to him. In the practice of give-away, I release him to his greater good, supporting him in what is best for him, all the while knowing the Divine will take care of me with or without him next to me. 

This doesn't mean we got divorced and remarried. It doesn't mean I left him or told him I was giving him up. It means, in prayer, I gave up all my attachments about how our lives had to be, so that his greater good could be served. I gave my fears to the Divine and stood naked before the Divine, humbled and ready to be of service; ready to accept whatever was right and best—to be with him, not to be with him, to be with him in a new way. 

You see, if we don’t do it consciously and willingly, it happens painfully. What we cling to gets ripped away from us. And we suffer in physical and/or emotional pain. 

What we are clinging to is most often what is getting in the way of our healing or spiritual rebirth. We are asking and praying for something new and wonderful to happen in our lives, but we aren't willing to let go of unconstructive habits, fears, limiting beliefs, or to make the changes that would allow us to fly. 

Our prayers get answered in the form of a painful loss, unless we meet our fears consciously and give-away whatever might be limiting us. What we are most afraid of losing is exactly what we will lose, unless we give it to the Divine consciously. After all, what we cling to belongs to the Divine anyway. So, when we make our give-away we are saying, “I am willing to let my ego step back, open to Divine wisdom, face my fears, and experience the brilliance of Divine Love unencumbered. 


When the give-away is sincere, the blessings are abundant. 

Give-away is on my mind these days, as I help a quester prepare to do her vision quest at SpiritQuest this August. I know that the depth of her spiritual opening is directly related to the significance of her give-away. 

And that will be true for everyone that comes to quest. Each person will be asked to give-away some attachment that no longer serves. As the attachment releases, the person’s spiritual gifts open in the most beautiful ways—through mystical moments—the peak experiences we pray for.

Feel the essence of magic and wonder within you

Hilarion's Weekly Message by Marlene Swetlishoff May 25-June 1, 2014 

Beloved Ones, as the energy continues to come in waves, so too, do the symptoms your bodies are experiencing. Just when you thought that you were over the worst of them, another round is started. Take heart, Dear Ones, and know that it brings lightness of heart and being as the ancient memories in your cells are brought to the surface to be addressed and released. All that is of sorrow and sadness is being eliminated and in its place comes more refined Light. As those at the forefront of this movement and transformation, you are doing a wonderful job of assimilating and eliminating. The ups and downs that you have been experiencing are a part of the process. Listen to your bodies and allow rest when it is needed and for some of you, this reminds you of the story of Rip Van Winkle who wandered into the mountains and slept for twenty years. This too shall pass. 

Follow your heart in all things, for it is the true barometer of what is the right thing for you to do in any given moment. Many of you are going deep within to touch the core of your being and are realizing what it is that you truly desire to experience and create in your experience of life. Follow the joy that these activities bring within you and focus on that state of being. Within every moment lies the seed of infinite possibility and it is you who must nurture and allow the seed to germinate, grow and flourish in abundance. The well of creativity runs deep within you and you have but to tap into its flow. Tap into the inner child within you and feel the wonder and the magic of your life with enthusiasm. It matters not what chronological age you are at, what matters is feeling the essence of magic and wonder within you, as you begin to experience the unfolding of dreams you have had for your life in an earlier time that are now coming into manifestation. 

Allow yourselves to expand in your consciousness and follow the joy. It is true that many in your sphere of influence are just beginning their process of Ascension into a higher consciousness and this can sometimes hold you back from moving forward, as you patiently wait for greater awakening within them. Know that you must follow your passion and trust that they will follow. You must realize that being with you in their daily lives is an important part of the greater meaning of life for them. Your enthusiasm lifts up their energy and guides them along their journey. You may not realize this, but as you seek the answers to your questions about the mysteries of life upon your planet, you inspire these ones with your example. You are greatly admired and emulated as a living example of a courageous person who lives according to higher principles and integrity of being. 

The people on the planet are awakening in ever increasing numbers and this has an effect upon the consciousness of all. Humanity as a whole desires to cast off all that has been keeping them in the dark and want to walk the ways of the Light. All that was hidden is now being exposed for everyone to reflect upon, to take what is relevant to them and cast off that which no longer has meaning. This is a never ending process of growth and expansion. The growth that has taken place within you in the last six months is wondrous to behold and we wait with bated breath to see the changes within you in the next six months. We know that each one of you would not go back to the unawakened state of being for any reason whatsoever, even though it means more of your illusions about life on this planet are shattered. 

As the spiritual journey unfolds in its myriad patterns, take the time to honor yourselves for stepping forward and doing the work required. Give yourselves a pat on the back and celebrate often the many accomplishments along the way, no matter how small they may seem to you. Buy yourselves fresh cut flowers often and enjoy looking at them and the beauty they provide, enrich your lives by being good to yourselves and to those wonderful beings who share your life. All is unfolding in divine timing and you are exactly where you are meant to be at this time. We thank you for your gratitude and acknowledgement of many of us for the next many weeks and we stand by to assist in every moment we are asked. 

Until next week…

I AM Hilarion
