Shifting Stories with Beca Lewis

Shifting Stories: Sampling Books, One (or 2) Chapters at a time.

How did it all begin? Where is it going?

Learn more about the bored brothers on the snake-shaped spaceship, Hannah in the Earth Realm, Suzanne from Erda, and Meg's adventures in Thamon.

Author Note:

Although The Experiment stands alone as a short story, it also fills in a few gaps from three of my book series.

The first series, The Karass Chronicles, is set on the planet, Gaia. Gaia is the world that you and I know best, but I call it the Earth dimension in the Karass series.

The second series, The Return to Erda, follows a few of the characters found in the Karass Chronicles to another dimension on Gaia. Yes. There are other dimensions. And amazingly scientists are trying to build portals to find them. In fantasy, we have already done that.

The third series, The Chronicles of Thamon, takes place on another planet.

But all three are set into a universe that I am creating.This means that although you may meet a whole new set of characters, there will also be a familiar character or two from the first two series that ends up on Thamon.

So even though I hope this short story satisfies you on its own, I am also hoping that I have aroused your curiosity and you will find your way to the world, and books, that this short story introduces.

Chapter Two: Principles of The Shift®

The First Step To Shift—Be Willing.

"He who would may reach the utmost height, but he must be eager to learn."—Buddha

Are you willing to be aware of the abundance, in all its forms, that already is present? Are you willing to let go of the beliefs that hold you and bind you to a sense of lack? Are you willing to become what you are meant to be? Are you willing to be worthy?

The single most important key to The Shift to Spiritual Perception is the first step of Being Willing. There is no way around this first step. Being Willing cannot be forced on anyone or faked.

Being Willing involves every moment and every thought. It includes being willing to let go, willing to do what is asked, willing to be open, willing to set boundaries, willing to have no desires, willing to have everything, willing to follow inspiration, willing to wake up, willing to stop hurting, willing to be happy, willing to not be liked, willing to be loved, willing to let Truth be the one and only guide—all these are examples of willing.

We must be willing for anything to happen. If we are not willing, nothing will ever be accomplished. We will either not start, or we will sabotage the effort. To be willing we must yield and let go of our own ego and our thoughts of how it ought to be. If we are going to move to an unlimited Reality, we must desire to see the Truth, no matter what the cost to our cherished beliefs.

This willingness is not about applying human will. Any time we force an issue by using the human ego and will, we are heading down a path that will eventually bring trouble. Although it may accomplish the immediate purpose, we have lost the larger goal of moving towards unlimited abundance and Truth.

It is our human perception of ourselves that has limited us in the first place. Human will carries us only so far before letting us down. Human will blinds us to what is true. Our desire is to be willing, not willful.

The process of Shifting is the preparing of the human mind to consent. Our task is to teach our mind with logic and love to let go. We are not attempting to make our small minds better. We are in the process of asking our human mind our—self‐perception, our personality, the voice inside who says “this is me”—to step aside and yield to the larger unlimited Mind.

We do not change our minds; we release them. We learn to yield to a full and loving picture. This picture benefits all it touches. Our own small picture will usually benefit only us.

Being willing also applies to how we deal with others. We cannot force other people into anything unless they are willing.

Think of all the heartache we would save ourselves and those we love by simply noticing whether they are willing to do whatever we are asking them to do, and if they’re not, by letting them work it out in their own way. All we can do for those we love is to provide a place where they feel it is safe to be willing.

Let’s start with the first book in The Shift Series that changed everything, and that means I have to start with Living in Grace: The Shift To Spiritual Perception, the preface and 1st chapter. Perhaps it will shift a story for you into something you like more than the current one.

FROM PROLOGUE:

This book is about perception and how to shift our perception to Living in Grace. This Shift of Perception will demonstrate the truth that we are all living as and in Grace now. There has never been a single moment that we have not or will not be Living in Grace. However, in this place I will call the “Earth state of mind” there appear to be paths that we must walk to remember this fact. On these paths, we search for meaning, power, and reasons for our existence. Most people in the Earth state of mind walk the “material path.”

On this path the Earth, the universe, and everything we are and do is material. In the material world perception, physical power reigns.

Some of us have “upgraded” to the “mental path” of believing it is a mental world, and everything is within and of our own thinking. We use mind‐power to accomplish our goals and live a better life. In this point of view, the mind‐body connection comes into play. We begin to say, “I can do it! All I have to do is visualize enough, and get my mind and thinking straight.” Mind‐power employs methods such as visualization and hypnotism to accomplish its goals. This mental path will sometimes diverge into another path, the path of mysticism.

The world today is fascinated by this mental or mystical power and is calling it the “Spiritual revolution”. Talk of God is accepted, and is now found in all walks of life.

It is an improved point of view over the physical standpoint, but it is not the path where this book will take you.

There is one more path—and it is the path of One Mind, that path of non‐power, the true Spiritual path. This is The Shift to being completely conscious that all that we are, know, and see, is in truth Spiritual. This is Living in Grace.... keep listening...or reading!
