God's In The East Australian Current

As a Spiritual Teacher, I'm often challenged with how I can continue to explain the complexity and vastness of the heavenly realm in a way that's easy for people to understand. Inspiration typically hits me as I pause and observe the world around me. In this podcast, I describe how I receive Spiritual insight and messages from the Divine through visions and movies.

Hi friends,

Welcome back.

It's me,

Gladys.

And today I want to talk to you about how I receive my guidance and insight and how it for me seems like there is spiritual wisdom in everything.

So a long time ago I asked God and Jesus to tell me the story.

What did I need to know?

At that point in my life I was really struggling with religion and belief systems and what I should know and what I shouldn't know,

What mattered and what didn't matter.

So I was exploring a lot of different belief systems,

Philosophies,

Religions,

And really trying to compile a list of information or a belief system that seemed to resonate with truth and what I knew.

So every once in a while a book comes along my way or I'm watching a movie and something pops up.

And so for me,

My insight,

The way it works is I get information through my spiritual sight based on energy putting an impression on my memory or my mind.

So what that means is that I read energy and when I say I see things,

It would be as if I asked you right now to close your eyes and imagine,

Pretend,

Or visualize your kitchen.

So this is what I do for my clients.

I'll ask them to help them understand how I receive insight and guidance.

So I'll ask them to think of what their plates look like,

Their favorite cup or glass.

I ask them to imagine or think about what their refrigerator looks like or their kitchen floor or the material of their countertops.

And as I do that,

Their mind is recalling memories at a rapid pace and they're getting like all these images,

Pictures,

Feelings,

Thoughts into the imagery that I'm guiding them towards.

And the same thing happens to me when I work with a client.

So I've just gotten really good at listening to that and paying attention.

So for me,

When I say I see,

It's the same as if you are recalling a memory.

So when I sit with clients and I'm open up space and I'm in their energy,

For me,

I feel like they're guardian angels,

Guides,

The loved ones,

Their spirit guides.

I feel like what they do is they impress energy on my mind.

And so I experience it as if I'm recalling memories that is part of their energy.

And so once I learned that that was my process,

It was so much easier to be able to explain that and help people,

Especially caregivers,

Healers,

Earth angels,

Light workers,

Empaths.

It seems we all have the same process.

So I'm not actually seeing somebody's loved one,

But I am seeing it in my mind's eyes.

Again,

It would be the same as if I said,

Picture an animal in your life.

Maybe you think of a dog or a cat and instantly you can imagine or sense their color,

Their personality.

I'm sure memories pop up of good and bad experiences with them.

And it's,

Again,

It's like a rapid fire of images and pictures or thoughts and feelings into it.

And again,

You can do this with your eyes closed,

Opened as well.

And your mind is going to get these images and pictures.

So this is how it works for so many of us.

And I've realized this for so long.

So when I create sacred space for meditation or to receive knowledge and insight,

Or if I'm struggling with something,

Mindfulness and meditation is powerful to receive insight.

And this is why so many people say the answers are within.

And a lot of times people can understand that,

But they don't know how.

So that's how it works for me.

So I want to share with you,

My topic today is God being in the East Australian current.

And what I mean by that is I,

On a weekly basis,

Go and work with a recovery center.

So I'm working with a group of men who are going through recovery from addiction,

Depression,

Mental health issues.

And this organization that I'm a part of focuses on the whole person.

They treat mind,

Body,

Spirit,

And emotions in this location.

So they find me and every week I go in and I talk to the group about spirituality and God and energy,

And it's incredibly powerful.

And I'm really enjoying working with the masculine energy.

It's kind of a challenge for me because in this field,

There are a lot of females in this energy and working in this field.

And I'm seeing more and more men are connecting to this energy and really opening up to the spiritual wisdom that's within them,

Which is their superpower.

So I'm humbled and honored by the fact that they show up every week and they listen,

And I can connect with them.

But one of the challenges is what do I say to them every week?

So there is new people coming in and out every week.

And then there are some people who have been there from the beginning.

It's a fairly new center.

And so today I'm recording and it's a Tuesday and in a couple of days this will come out.

And so Sunday is when I go to see this group.

So this recent past Sunday,

I was really sitting with myself talking to God,

Asking God what to say to them and what topic will appeal to the group and how do I relate to them and how do I reach them in a way where they'll be open to receiving the word of God or understanding what God means.

A lot of them have pushed God out of their life,

Rightfully so.

I did it myself.

And so I'm trying to work with God to give them a pathway back in a way that works for them.

And so as I was sitting in meditation and I was asking God what to say to them,

I got the image or the image came to my mind or my memory of a river.

And God's message was,

I'm in the flow.

And the message that came after that is that when you're going downstream,

You don't need your paddles.

And when we're going with the flow of life,

God is guiding us through this current.

And so I got the image of me being in a kayak because I love kayaking.

And then the next image I got was paddling upstream.

And I have to say,

I feel like I've been doing that often lately.

And it's funny because I'm in the flow,

I'm out of the flow.

I'm in the flow,

I'm out of the flow.

And even though I do this as my work,

I'm still human.

I still have a lot to learn.

I still have experiences I need to have.

So I struggle with challenges and difficulties and controversy and all those things.

And I know as I talked to my last podcast,

This is part of the growth process.

So as I was looking at myself in this imagery of this vision that I was getting paddling upstream,

I could see how tired I was.

And so the next image I got was turning the kayak around and going downstream once again.

And the message that I got was that God is in the flow when our belief system is strengthened in the place that we believe that God will guide us and protect us.

And remember,

I don't feel God is a force outside of me taking control of my life.

I feel like God is the power and energy and intuition that works within me.

And if I can connect with that energy,

Things seem to move a lot easier.

But again,

I'm human.

And so my ego kicks in and worries and fears kick in.

And I'm really trying to practice the art of paying attention to that.

I've been doing a lot of work with physical therapy.

I've been struggling with lower back issues.

And the type of physical therapy that I'm doing right now is really helping me get into my body to listen to the pain and struggle.

And so I notice even more so now that I'm actually feeling better when my mind has gotten away from me.

It's called like the maniac mind or the monkey mind.

And it just goes off on a tangent.

My body tenses up,

My stomach hurts,

And I'm more sensitive to it now.

But as soon as I recognize it,

I just take a deep breath.

I relax into it and remind myself of the present moment.

So I go in and have the intention of telling this group this vision that I got and helping them understand about how God works and the energy that flows through them.

And then I go in and I got lost on a tangent and ended up talking about,

I don't know,

Everything but that.

So at the end of the class,

What I do is I have everyone pull a card.

It's a positive affirmation card.

And what they do is they read the word and then they read the affirmation out loud.

And it always resonates with the journey that they're on.

My intention is always the information or the card that they get be for their best and highest good.

And so I always pull a card for myself because I think it's important to give and receive.

So when I pulled my card and my card was picked after everybody else,

I think there were 14 people in this group,

My card was pulled after the 14 people.

And of course,

What card do I pull?

Go with the flow.

And it looked like a picture that had a heart inside like a big giant canoe or something.

And it really,

The picture looked like Noah's Ark.

And in the canoe or whatever it was,

It was a,

There was a heart.

And I laughed because I felt like it was God like nudging me on the shoulder saying,

Hey,

Don't forget to tell him about the flow.

So I laughed when I shared the card and I shared the story.

And I proceeded to tell them my image and about God and God's in the flow.

And you'll know you're working with God when you're feeling like less resistance and you're kind of going downstream.

And then right after that,

I got the image of the movie Finding Nemo and the turtle,

The cute little turtle that was flowing in the East Australian current.

And I realized that that was like an extension of the image that I had gotten.

And I laughed and I told them,

I,

You know,

I said,

Who has seen Finding Nemo?

And,

And I shared with them that,

That,

That clip in it,

I believe Marlin,

I don't know what happened to Marlin,

But he woke up on the turtle's shell and Dory was swimming along.

And now if you know,

In the movie from what I recall,

There was calm water all around that,

But yet the current was moving.

So it's like they had to pop themselves in the current.

So I was imagining us being like kind of floating around as humans.

And then when we want to connect with God,

It's like we pop into the East Australian current and the energy naturally takes us.

And since I got that image,

I feel like I go in and out of that space.

So I'm human and I'm living my life and things are happening.

And then when I think about God or I'm asking God for assistance or inviting him in,

Because remember the universe abides by the law of free will.

So you have to really ask and open up to receive information,

Knowledge,

Wisdom,

And assistance.

And so I felt like as I do that,

I like the turtles that pop into the East Australian current and go down the flow.

And so from there,

I'm being taken to the next step.

And for me,

I think in the movie,

It was something about like migration and a change of season.

And this is what they did to go into the next season or phase or whatever that was.

I believe I haven't seen the movie in so long,

But that image was so clear to me.

Now I have to say,

I never got that while I was watching the movie,

But I thought it was so powerful to help me and help them understand how God works.

So I wanted to share that with you today,

If you're struggling with God and what that means and is he in your life or isn't he in your life.

And one of the things I say so often that God,

This unconditional love vibration that works with you,

For you,

Is not here to fix you,

Save you,

Change you,

And make you better.

And that took a long time for me to let that absorb and receive because I would be angry at God when things were happening to people that I loved or myself,

I would say,

It's not fair.

And I'd be angry at God and I'd be frustrated and saying,

Where are you?

And I would feel lonely.

But as I've been sitting with this energy and as I've been working with this group and working with clients,

I'm seeing that God can cannot fix us,

Save us,

Change us,

Make us better.

And I feel like at points in my life,

I was waiting for a savior.

I felt like I was waiting for somebody to come in and just tell me to make things happen.

And I realized that that wasn't going to happen,

That I needed to show up to my own life and everybody has their own life.

And so one of the other concepts that I talk so often about,

And I'm sure you've heard me talk about it multiple times in these podcasts,

Is that we as caregivers can no longer fix,

Save,

Change,

And make better,

Or can't fix,

Save,

Change,

And make better for our people in our lives.

But what we can do is we can comfort people,

Support them,

Teach us,

And inspire us.

I'm sorry,

Comfort,

Support,

Teach,

And inspire them by us living our best life.

And I feel like that is God's role in our lives is to comfort us,

Support us,

Teach us,

Inspire us by showing us the way,

Showing us the ease of going with the flow instead of paddling upstream and trying to fight the current.

Now I'm sure there are times in life we can go downstream and it's like a lazy river.

And then there are other times when we're on a whitewater raft,

When the water is opening at a minimal.

And then there's whitewater rafting when it's completely open and you're flying down the river.

So there's so many points that God is in our life,

But it's always in the current going downstream.

It's the fear,

The fear of will God be there,

The fear of trusting yourself that makes you turn the kayak around or the raft around and paddle upstream.

But again,

The only thing you're doing is maxing out your energy,

You're becoming tired,

Depleted and drained.

And from that mindset and from that energy,

You're creating more havoc and struggle and difficulty.

So I've been really trying lately to be mindful of that image and that picture of going downstream,

Joining the turtles in the East Australian current and just going with the flow.

Now I'm not going to say it's easy.

It's definitely easier said than done,

But I want to share that with you if you are struggling with resisting and feeling tired and depleted and drained.

The easiest thing you can do is just imagine yourself on that kayak in meditation,

Flowing downstream and letting that feeling fill you up of ease and comfort and support.

And when I ask God for things,

I struggle with sometimes like the how or the when or what if and what do I need to do?

And so I've kind of shift my meditation practice,

Really focusing on how I want to feel.

I want to feel like life is an adventure,

Fun.

I want to laugh and have play,

Which ultimately brings me freedom.

So when I focus on those energies of just sitting on that raft or sitting on that kayak and flowing downstream,

Knowing that God has my back,

I feel like things come so much more naturally and easier.

And now one of the archangels that helps tremendously with spiritual insight,

And I believe this archangel plays an important role in the way I receive information and how I receive information and the way I can translate it into a way that will people will understand is the archangel Raziel.

And I've spoken about him in other podcasts.

And Raziel is the angel of spiritual insight and understanding.

And I work with him often or I don't realize he's working with me often so that as a public speaker and an inspirational speaker and somebody that helps educate people on spirituality and a new approach to spiritual wisdom,

I believe that archangel Raziel works with me often.

And so his color or the way he shows up in my life is through rainbows,

Rainbow colors,

Rainbow pictures,

Rainbow signs,

Rainbows in the sky.

And I know that when this information comes along to me,

It's God and archangel Raziel working with me so that I can understand and help myself and from there I can help others.

It's part of that teaching and learning process.

And then the other angel that I suggest to work with if you are on your spiritual journey and you're struggling with the meaning into things is archangel Zadkiel.

Zadkiel is not an angel I've talked about before,

But he's an angel that works with teaching and learning.

I feel like I will always be a forever student.

I love to learn.

And then when I'm learning,

I find that as I'm learning,

I'm able to teach this information to other people and I attract the people,

Places,

Things and ideas that can assist me and others on that journey.

So if you yourself are inspired by this and you really want to receive insight and guidance in this way,

And again,

If you're a teacher or a student and you want to learn more,

Of course we always invite God in and ask him to send his armies of angels,

Specifically Raziel and Zadkiel.

You can research these angels.

They're online and you never know,

Maybe something else will come up with them.

Maybe you're listening to this podcast for this information,

But know that there's so much more that's going to come from it when you open your heart to receive the information in whatever works for you.

I always say to my clients and the people that I'm working with,

Take in what resonates and dump the rest.

There's so much information that I've gotten along my path that has resonated with me or hasn't resonated me.

I know so many times they'll be like,

That's not going to work for me.

I don't know about that or that doesn't really make sense.

And then,

You know,

I'm journaling about these things in a year.

I'm like,

God,

That's what that meant.

And how did I miss it?

And I didn't see it before.

So you're constantly being dialed into that high vibration of unconditional love.

There's information that's coming to you all the time,

Whether it's in the birds,

In the trees,

Whether it's in nature,

Whether it is in the sky,

Whether it is energy and God impressing energy and memories on your mind for information.

So I just wanted to share that with you today.

I think it was so interesting how,

You know,

God came in with the visual of the East Australian current and that is just one small fraction of the multiple ways that God can give you information to comfort you,

Support you,

Teach you and inspire you.

And all you have to do is open up your heart to receive,

Ask,

Ask God and his armies of angels to come into your life to show you the way,

Opening up your heart.

And by doing that,

You're taking that kayak or you're taking that raft and you're just flowing downstream.

So I want to continue to encourage you and uplift you.

Keep up the great work,

Keep listening.

And as always,

I send you love with heavenly hugs.
