X, who are 55 higher dimensional beings, have a message for us today. For an introduction to X, please read Introducing X – Teachers of Universal Ascension. As per the regular convention of this blog, in italics is the directly channeled message from the guides, verbatim, with no commentary from me.
Update: The book the guides are referencing in the message is Alex Howard’s, “It’s Not Your Fault, Why Childhood Trauma Shapes You and How to Break Free.” Toxic positivity is discussed in Chapter 6.
Message #2
We have a very important message for you all today in the advent of this big holiday in the country that the channel is in called Thanksgiving. As we are experiencing Earth life through these moonstones with the channel, our keeper, we have learned that this is a holiday of gratefulness. So, today, we wish to teach you about the importance of being grateful for yourself.
It seems like an easy concept to grasp, but many humans go through their entire life and have never thanked themselves of a life well lived. Most humans never fathom to be grateful for themselves, for their existence, for their moxie, for their willingness to be. Yet, it is an important step in being truly grateful for others, for those things you have accomplished, and whatever else you may be grateful for in this holiday season. The reason it is important is because it shores up your energy so that when you are grateful for others, you give even more energy than you otherwise would if you had not taken the time to be grateful for yourself first.
Gratefulness is an art, and we will teach you why. The channel has recently read a book where she learned of this concept called toxic positivity. The book has its own definition of toxic positivity, which is good, but we wish to elaborate even more so that you may learn something about how energy works in an ascending planet. Toxic positivity is when you either only acknowledge the positive emotions you feel or you take so-called negative emotions and spin them into something positive. Some of your books on the law of attraction encourages toxic positivity, and we wish to clarify how energy actually works. Now, it is true that your emotions are magnetic. You feel good about something, you are likely to attract more of the same. You feel worthy of that job, you will get it. You feel loved enough to be in that relationship, and you will attract a partner that will honor you. The problem on the Earth plane is that if you already feel good about what you want, you would have it. So, if you do not have what you want, you must raise your vibration to magnetize it onto you. We spoke of this in our last and first message in this forum.
So, what does toxic positivity have to do with it? Well, we will concede that it is not good to dwell on negativity, for dwelling in it will bring more of the same. BUT, and this is a very big but, it is also important not to brush them aside, as if they do not exist at all, or to pretend that you feel good about something you find inherently negative. It’s important to feel what you truly feel in the moment you feel it, then begin to parent the fragment that has been triggered. Skipping the step of allowing yourself to feel the fragmentation, will lodge that negative energy into your body, and it will either somatize itself or it will act as a silent saboteur to your goals.
Here’s why. We will create a story for you to illustrate our point. Let us say that a woman loses her job unexpectedly. Being well-read in the law of attraction, she misguidedly thinks that she needs to not feel bad about losing her job. She must feel good to attract a new position. Well, that is true, she does need to feel good to magnetize to herself a new job, however, does she actually feel good if she didn’t bother to release the negative feelings she felt about unexpectedly losing her job? So, you see, it’s important not to skip this step. If she goes straight from losing her job, to forcing herself to be optimistic about her future, then she has ignored her feelings of disappointment, perhaps anger, and whatever other negative emotion she felt at the slight of being let go. Unexpressed emotion cannot be released by the body, it remains in the energetic field, which means that the fragmentation that had something to learn cannot fully integrate the soul lesson, and so they remain slightly fragmented until the emotions are expressed and thus, released from the body.
So now we hear some rumblings about what has just been imparted. Do you want us to be angry then? Do you want us to be in rage? Do you want us to be disappointed? Is that creating energetic pollution? No, we do not want you to be angry, be in rage, or be disappointed. We are not encouraging you to dwell in the negative emotion. We are suggesting that you need to feel the truth of what you need to feel. This is important for ascension because if the feeling did not have purpose, you would not feel it. If you feel it, then it is time for its release, and it cannot release unless you give the fragmentation the opportunity to truly feel what they have felt, perhaps in a past congruent life, or in this life if the karma was created in the present incarnation. So, it is important not to dwell or exacerbate the negative emotions. It is, however, important to be honest with yourself on how you truly feel and to allow yourself to be in that truth.
Now, what does this have to do with gratefulness with yourself? Many humans skip being grateful for themselves and honoring themselves because not everything in their life is hunky-dory. You are taught to be grateful for positive things and to ignore negative things. In this book the channel read, the author argues that there are no positive and negative emotions, all emotions are to some extent positive. We tend to agree with this view. We want to explain why. As we said previously, if you feel a negative feeling, the likelihood is that it is ready for release. So, that is positive and something you can be grateful for. It is always this or something better, and if something has left your life, it must be the case that something better is already coming along. In order to facilitate that receipt, you must feel all that you need to feel, parent the fragment accordingly, and instill in yourself the belief that something better is coming along, and you are ready to magnetize this something better into your life. What we have just taught you is how to be grateful for the totality of your experience, both those you think are positive and those you believe are negative, but in fact is just a transition in the cycle of death and rebirth that humans go through as part of the incarnate experience.
We go back to this woman in our example. How is she suppose to be grateful for losing her job right before this holiday? Well, the first thing she needs to do is to be honest with her experience in totality. That is, feel all that she feels. Does she feel anger? Disappointment? Perhaps, betrayal? Allow yourself to feel what you genuinely feel. Then, she needs to integrate all the fragments that feel all these supposed negative emotion. As we said before, the purpose of this exercise is not to dwell on the negativity, but to appropriately identify all the soul fragments at play. So, this is not about feeling the anger and then talking yourself into retributive justice – that will not do anything good for you, only create more karma that needs to be transmuted, which will hold your soul back. After she feels all that she needs to feel, then relief will come. If she rides that relief by telling herself that something better will come along, then she is on the path to gratefulness. In being grateful for the totality of her experience, not just the seemingly positive ones, her expansion will exponentiate much more rapidly. So, this is why we have titled this article as we have. In being grateful for yourself, the totality of you, the ones you feel good about and the ones you feel less good about, you will ride the ascension rainbow exponentially.
We hope you understand our message of honoring yourself. Do not honor just the seemingly positive aspects of your life. Do the exercise we have taught you above to begin to be grateful about the totality of you. In doing so, you will become magnetic to all that you desire much more quickly than you could otherwise accomplish.
We send you in peace and love in this grand holiday of gratefulness. Call on our energies and you will be assisted.
