Tenaciously Being

Turns out, in order to discuss the question: “Who is They?” I decided it was important to go Quantum with it and discuss energy. Ultimately, in case you feel like I don’t answer it specifically, “They” is the dark/lower-vibrating frequencies that keep us connected to the 3D world where the lower/dark frequencies of hate, fear, scarcity, anger, anxiety, depression, etc. are able to exist and therefore feed or fuel their existence. “They” want to keep the human in the 3rd Dimension so that “They” can continue to exist. Are “They” humans? Yes. But they are humans that have been hijacked by the darkness and in many instances might not know they are operating in darkness. To varying degrees, and with various methods, “they” control our thoughts and ways of being. “They” use the governments, media, social constructs, industry, the internet (algorhythms) and AI to keep us hooked into this 3rd Dimensional realm… which is crumbling. With this evolution, we are beginning to vibrate at higher frequencies - which are actually our natural state - that then allows us to move further away from the control of that lower frequency. The thing is, we’re in the very beginning stages of this process and no one has ever done this… so there are no guides. No “How-To” manual. There is no “right way” to do this… most of us don’t even know what it is that we’re doing! And as humans we’re seekers - we strive to do things the “right way” and will easily be pulled back into the fear. The fear that “they” continue to exist upon. It’s complicated. And also, it’s not. The labels we’ve given the groups of people is irrelevant to the fact that we’re dealing with energy. And as energy ourselves, we are pulled in ways we’re not aware of, until now….

In this episode we explore the definitions & meanings of these terms; one of them being the 2022 word of the year, ironically. As we approach the end of a calendar year, and begin to take stock of what’s happened and what is to come, it’s important to recognize that these two concepts play a part in each of our lives - even if we think they don’t. How in touch with our intuition and true Self are we? How much of what we spend our time and energy on is actually a desire of our own? Are we being deceived and/or steered in certain directions? Throughout our lifetime, and generationally, we’ve been inundated with subtle and overt manipulations. This makes us question our own thoughts and seek answers from others. It’s ok that we find ourselves here, and it’s more than ok to want to break free from it.

This episode is certainly my most vulnerable yet. Having a meltdown during the holidays isn’t fun for anyone involved, but especially not the one melting down. Once the fire has burned down, I often have more clarity and understanding about the why and what I was processing. Our bodies are our allies if we allow them to be. I’m grateful for the space to process, the unconditional love that surrounds me, and the voice to walk myself through and back to my Self. I hope you can relate, and enjoy hearing about someone else’s temper tantrum instead of your own. 😆

Holiday Sales still happening, and Holiday Ornament Collection to be released on December 7, 2023.

Here we are friends, episode 25 Tenaciously Being, and this episode coming to you on Thanksgiving, 2023. An American Holiday, no doubt, and one that is ripe for being reckoned with as our Collective Society is evolving so massively. So many traditions are being turned upside down and shook out… this one is on the list, it’s only a matter of time.

This time of year also marks the slippery slope of the “Holiday Season” - Christmas, Kwanza, Hanukkah and the New Year (of the Gregorian calendar) all coming in HOT. It’s no secret this can become a busy and hectic time of year, and I know I’m not alone in the awareness that it’s uncomfortable. I no longer want it to be this way. Ironically, this episode is coming out later than usual, and I’m struggling to write this intro because I’ve had to really fight for the time to get here and don’t feel emotionally available to care much about what I say 😆. Does anyone actually read these anyway 🤷‍♀️?

In an effort to record something “useful” and “relative” to my current life, I chose to talk about Creativity (again) in this episode. It won’t be the last time, either, because it becomes more and more evident every day how important this is to me and my greater Purpose in the world. Creativity will be discussed many, many times on this podcast as well as in my work as an Artist. I see it as a missing link for humans to actually thrive in the world. I see it as an inherent tool we all have access to, but has (perhaps intentionally) been atrophied. We have a beautiful opportunity to Create the Life We Want to Live…. But we’ve forgotten HOW to Create.

The “Matrix” is thick and heavy this time of year. I can see the Collective desire to step out of it, to slow down, to stop doing #allthethings, to relax and enjoy the life we make. I see Creativity as the lumber or stones for the bridge that we are building to get us there. I see it as a foundational necessity, like muscles are to ligaments and bones… the only way to make the reality we want to see is to Create it. The only way to Create it is to remember that we know how, and that takes practice. So, therefore practicing Creativity is one of the most powerful ways we can begin to change the world. The pivot I’m being thrust into (and discussed in this episode) is so obvious from this angle.

I also mentioned the Art that I make and sell online… Here is the website, and until the end of November you can use the code THANKYOU20 for 20% off all purchases. I appreciate the opportunity to share my work with the world, your support puts wind in my sails to make more.

http://ratherbecreative.com

THANKYOU20 is the discount code again

I also understand that my Art is not for everyone and purchasing is not always a viable option. In that case, some of the best support you can give any person trying to succeed as an Artist is the free kind - likes, comments, shares, subscriptions, and mentions are all incredibly meaningful and have more of an impact than you might realize - even outside of social media. We are in wild times on the internet and there is a lot of noisy competition. It’s the tiny ripples of genuine engagement that actually make a difference to me, more than the tidal waves of popularity and influence. I’m here for connection, not fame.

You can find me on Facebook, but I don’t spend much time there. I prefer Instagram and am constantly looking for other ways to connect. In person is my favorite!

This was needed for myself, so I figured it may be needed for you too. Things can get a little hectic and overwhelming this time of year (approaching the holidays in the US). I know I have a tendency to take on way too much this time of year and I end up looking back and wondering how much of all the things I actually savored and will remember. It’s not always easy to let some things go, but it’s also not easy to grip so tightly to what something “should” look like (actually makes it harder). In this episode, I not only give you full permission to drop a ball or two this holiday (and anytime really), but I also tell a story or two that may entertain you. My hope is that you can receive the reminder that you’re doing great, and that you’ll take the permission slip and run wild with it. Happy Holidays!

This episode is a recap/deeper dive into the concept of Core Consciousnesses as learned from Lorie Ladd and her book, The Divine Design. This time of year can be very stressful for many people, myself included and it is always nice to be reminded of my Higher Self, which allows me to Surrender a little more when the world seems to spin too fast. I hope this episode finds you open to new ideas, receptive of your Inner Knowingness, and able to find a moment of Peace for yourSelf in whatever you find yourself in.

This episode is a little different from episodes thus far on Tenaciously Being. I was inspired after listening to a new podcast (that the algorithm fed me… which has its own set of questions, I’ll reserve for a different episode), and while still on my walk, decided to just use the audio recorder on my phone to record my thoughts. Turns out a lot of them are still-to-be-answered-questions.

I’ve been blessed to be working with a sound engineer that gets my #fucktheshoulds attitude and he made it work for an actual episode, Here’s the exact quote: “I would of course advise against recording in this type of environment for a pod but I guess we don’t give too much importance to the "shoulds" on this side of the pod world .” He gets me. 🤗

It seems there comes a point in this “awakening process” where there are more questions than answers, and that gets uncomfortable in this cancel-eager, know-it-all world of information superhighways and keyboard warriors. Extremely uncomfortable. But often in that place of discomfort is where the magic lies and deeper understanding has space to arise. I’m here for that. Which is exactly why I decided to just give myself the room to record the thoughts before allowing them to mull around in my brain for too long… there they get forgotten and caught up in the lint trap. Too many analogies mixing up at this point… I hope you are able to see the dots I’m connecting as I walk the beautiful beaches of Anna Maria Island in SW Florida. It was a beautiful (blue sky!) day and I really think that giving these thoughts space to air was beneficial to the way the rest of the weekend (big birthday party) happened. Thanks for listening.

Tap into your ability to simply BE with these 5 steps, originally jotted down after hearing Lorie Ladd describe them to us a few years ago. These 5 words are taped inside the cabinet where I get coffee/tea and supplements, so they’ve been oozing their way into my consciousness for a while now. It was a lot of fun to give my take on this simple yet profound way of Being. It’s been a journey to discover just how far removed from my true Self I am, and the road to clarity might be longer than this lifetime, but I’m forever grateful to be on it.

What do you say when the rest of the world seems to have all the things to say already? It seems there’s always someone around to disagree and cancel, why bother saying anything at all? It appears we’re supposed to take a side these days… in more ways than we realize. I’m wondering if there’s a better way, a more evolved way, a way that perhaps we can’t quite fathom or see or understand just yet. I believe we’re designed to live with love as our guide, not fear. I believe that the programming, manipulation and chaos that surrounds us is designed to keep us in that fear-state, far away from Love and detached from Source. This episode uses the current events of today as an example for how susceptible we all are to the propaganda and how programmed we are to believe that we have to choose a side. My hope is that it reminds us that we have a choice, and we can choose Love if we want to.

I mention Valarie Kaur’s book, “See No Stranger, a Memoir and Manifesto of Revolutionary Love”

In this episode, I’m diving into the belief that I’m beginning to boldly claim - that germs do not cause illness and are not the enemy. There is a collection of videos offered with The End Of Covid, and I’ve been making my way through them since July when they were first released. There’s a free viewing period until October 18th (which is an extension due to their hosting server being overwhelmed with over 3.5 million views) and I can’t recommend it highly enough. I believe this information is worth every penny of the (should you choose to) purchase price… If, that is, you are ready to make a shift in your thoughts that opens the door to a truly happy and healthy life - one without diagnosis’ and prescriptions and healthcare headaches that plague so many of us and our families. This paradigm shift is radical and has the potential to change so much for society. My affiliate link below will take you to the page to sign up - again, Free until 10/18/23. I’ve listed a few of my favorite videos below - there is over 90 hours of scientific and research based content available and it may seem like too much to bother but trust me, this information will blow your mind… in a good way! Much love, Rather
