Where Do We Stand Now?
by Joy Truscott
You are not broken. You are not behind. You are not too late. You are the very breath of the Divine, standing in the front row of the most magnificent shift our species has ever known — and this teaching is here to help you take your rightful place in it. Come on in, my treasures. You've got this.
Transcript
Hello,
My lovelies.
We're going to talk a little bit about where do we stand right now.
This is so important for us to consider where it is that we're placing our awareness and intention.
Our energy right now.
And this consideration must come in so that we can begin to review who we are and the place and the space that we're standing in and how we are holding that space.
Before we do that,
Let's ask that our guides,
Angels,
Divine presence come really close and help us bring in whatever insight will help us at this time,
Because we are truly a species ready to evolve,
To elevate and to become something amazing in the cosmos.
Let that be.
So my treasures,
Come on into the space,
Be here with me.
Let's hold our energy,
Let's hold ourselves in a very gracious,
Kind,
And considerate way.
Let's take a deep breath in,
Long,
Slow out-breaths.
Relax,
Relax,
Drop,
Drop into this moment.
Feel like you can be present with you in this time,
In this space,
In this way.
Find a space within you where you can just be at peace with you here.
Then notice all the signals that you're picking up from your mind and your body as you are sitting in this moment.
Is there some correction that your body is asking you to make?
So do that.
Listen to what the mind and the body are speaking to you about.
Listen to what you are able to hear and pick up.
Check the balance of your body.
Is it beautifully balanced on the left and the right?
Soften your tummy.
Smooth the skin on your beautiful face.
Relax your being.
Hold the space that you're in right now.
With your full attention.
How am I doing?
Ask your beautiful being,
How am I doing?
How am I doing right now?
How is this for me?
Can I just be here,
Settle down,
Relax,
And trust that I am being held in the arms of gravity?
Can I allow myself to be at peace with my being?
While we sit so quietly,
All the thoughts start racing through our mind.
Notice them as well.
What is urging you to get up and do and achieve or accomplish something?
Notice that.
And see if you can stay wasteful where you are.
Paying attention to the voice,
The pulling,
The urgency,
Whatever that might be.
But still staying in the place where you are,
Aware of that.
Then sit a little deeper within your being.
Tune in to something around you,
Some sound,
Some activity in the distance perhaps.
Open up your ears.
Listen.
Something that is a little distant.
But slowly you can pick it up.
How wonderful is that?
That we have the ability to expand our consciousness outside of this frame.
And know that it is over there somewhere.
This,
My lovely,
Is a gracious gift.
Know it well.
It is going to serve us as we take our transition.
To know that which is outside of the space,
To perceive it,
To know what it is.
To tune into the subtle notes,
Sometimes not so subtle,
Banging and clanging,
Dogs barking,
Cars honking their horns.
But just notice that which is outside of you and now.
Notice how you're feeling about all that.
What are you connecting to that which is outside of you?
To your awareness of you and your comfort.
What you like and what you don't like.
Here you have this incredible capacity in this being to discern,
To choose,
To decide,
We are filtering all the time.
The input that is coming in.
And the output that is coming from us.
In the way we speak about how we're managing in this moment,
How we're feeling.
What we're thinking about the neighbor's noise,
The swimming and the jumping up and down.
The loudness of the airplanes flying overhead.
What are we connecting our thoughts to that?
What feelings do we have about that?
Noticed that.
I would love you to have an idea within you that where you are right now that you have circles around you.
Like those ripples in a pond.
Imagine we took a snapshot,
We froze it,
And we said this very first circle that's created as the ripple begins,
This is the peripheral area that is more immediate to us.
See if you can pick up what is in that little area around you.
It could be the temperature,
The time of day.
The smells and the aromas that are in the air.
Something that your senses can plug into that's pretty close.
Colors perhaps?
Then imagine that in the frozen image of these ripples,
The next one is just a little further out.
What could you perceive in that further out place around you?
What are you noticing and understanding?
What is coming to your awareness?
You can play in all these strata around you.
Just noticing them first.
Thing.
When you've played that game for a while.
And you feel like you can allow your discernment to move from here that is in close proximity to that which is in the space,
The distance around you.
And you can even know the depth of field of space between it.
When you have understood this capacity that you hold,
This incredible gift to know yourself in space,
Time and reality,
Because of the data,
The data,
The information that is coming in.
And because of your ability to perceive it and relate to it,
Understand it,
Interpret it according to what you have known before.
Everything that's coming in will be uniquely interpreted by you.
Based upon what you felt,
Known,
Heard and experienced in your life to this point.
If there is a loud clang and a bang,
We might get a jolt,
A very big fright if we're carrying a sense within us that we are in expectation of something that might frighten us.
We might feel that we've got to hold ourselves in a very tight place so that we can survive.
And perhaps our coding is more based upon fear and anxiety,
Trepidation.
And so we might hold ourselves a little bit more anxious.
We will be noticing things that could impact us and hurt us and things that we need to defend ourselves quickly or protect ourselves,
Deflect that which is coming towards us.
Notice that.
Notice your reactions and what you are reacting to.
And then.
.
.
We're going to go up in layers.
The next layer,
Notice the intensity of it.
Is it a mild?
Oh,
There we go.
Little fright.
Always like and think.
Big bold jolt of fear that comes in.
Notice the level.
That you are reverberating and understanding that and relating to it.
Now you know more about you as well.
And you,
My lovely,
Are a unique instrument.
This being is able to do all of this,
And we take it for granted.
But it is a magnificent skill.
It gives us the capacity to know ourselves better.
In such a broad spectrum of awarenesses.
Based upon the consciousness and the filters that we've created to help ourselves to survive.
And to be here.
We have created so much around us that we don't even realize how much there is.
So we stand here in this life.
And if we can be conscious of this that is moving and connecting and colliding with us,
Then we are already in a different position.
We are no longer just standing in our life.
Terrified of what might come towards us.
Horrified,
Quick to defend and deflect,
Reject,
Deny,
Distract,
Detach,
Destroy,
We are not playing in that game anymore.
This is a game that is crippling humanity.
That is the game of survival.
When we don't know who we are in time and space and where we're standing and how we are perceiving all of this data coming in.
We will go into that system as a default.
Because our system is here to survive.
It wants us to survive.
It will do everything to protect us.
To shield us and to help us find a way through that which is coming towards us.
This is an incredible vehicle.
It's giving us all these opportunities.
But we have only been playing in this very low basement awareness of it.
Our reactive state.
Because we've known ourselves only as a being,
As a species,
That is here simply to hang on for dear life and to survive.
How wonderful it will be now.
When we take the next leap in our awareness and our consciousness.
And my treasures,
It's right here.
Here we are in this moment,
Ready to take this leap,
Because we are not happy with this that is happening around us.
We have come to the point where we have endured,
Seen,
Suffered,
Agonized over all the input that has been here available to us.
And this beautiful mind body being is exhausted.
It's absolutely worn out with all of this that is going on.
So here we are at this place where we are saying to ourselves,
I'm exhausted,
I'm overwhelmed.
I just don't like this.
This is not the way it's supposed to be.
Ha,
Right there,
You have the gift.
When you are saying to yourself,
I no longer want it to be this way,
This is not the way it is for me.
This does not resonate as truth any longer.
Right now,
In this moment when you have started to think about something else,
You,
My lovely,
Are now starting to plug in to your magnificence.
A part of you that can discern,
Decide,
Choose.
And you're plugging into the part of you that is calling you towards that.
Pulling your magnetic field of your heart towards it.
And wanting you to find the expression of something else.
Right now we are on the cusp of that.
But let us be so careful not to misinterpret how we stand here now.
How do we stand here now?
Do we stand in the cusp of this,
The moment of this,
The realization?
Do we stand here terrified?
Feeling small and insignificant,
Unworthy,
Unloved,
Helpless,
Futile?
Do we stand there like that?
Victims of this life.
Oh.
Could we just stand here as an awareness of this human,
This vehicle,
This being that is highly perceptive?
And give us another viewpoint of ourself.
Could we say this is the being that wants so much more?
This is the being that knows what it doesn't want and what it will never choose again.
And this is the being that is standing here as this being that seeks.
Through the longing and the yearning of our heart,
The calling of our soul,
To activate,
To elevate,
To come into a different awareness.
To heighten our consciousness.
Right now,
We are plugging in to something else.
And we are at a very precarious space.
We either stand here terrified,
Anxious,
Hateful.
Bitter,
Greedy.
And we stay here because this is the known platform.
It's the default setting.
We know all the games.
We know how they're going to work and play.
We know everything about it.
There's nothing we need to know.
Now.
Decide that there is nothing more that you need to know about the human endeavor to survive.
You don't need to plug into any of these awarenesses,
These consciousness,
These fears and horrors,
Trepidation,
Foreboding.
So that you can be forewarned,
So that you can protect and defend yourself.
Never again do you need to do that.
Because we have survived.
We're here.
We're here.
We've survived.
It's amazing that we have survived.
Now we recode.
Now we begin to see it again.
We know what it is that we will never do again.
And we know what it is that we seek and long for.
Right there,
You're standing now in a space between two different stories.
This that has been our history,
Our pain,
Despair and all the turmoil.
And this is that we just long for and call for with all our heart and soul.
We stand right between the two places.
And if you put your hands out like this,
You know you can feel yourself as you're centering.
Your heart is right between your left and your right palm.
You holding both awarenesses.
If we could decide now that there is nothing more that we need to experience,
No more pain,
No more hardship,
No more awfulness.
So that we know what to choose.
All of this that has been experienced through time.
All that data,
All that data that has informed this form.
It is greatly accepted and useful to us only if we choose something else.
One will trap us and lock us in here in our terror.
And the other one will shift us into a higher space of awareness.
If we stay locked in and continue to play that game because it is safe and predictable and we think we'll just survive.
And if that is your goal,
Just to survive,
Hang on for dear life,
Then that is not a dear life.
That is a life filled with pain,
Torture,
Trepidation,
Anxiety.
It's really difficult,
Really challenging.
Our systems are not geared for this ongoing assault that we are pushing into it.
When we are sparking our adrenal system,
Throwing all these stress hormones into us,
Cortisol,
Epinephrine,
Norepinephrine,
And just gobbling up the cells of our body.
We are truly making ourselves very ill.
What did we do?
Just stop.
Just stop.
And consider,
Ask yourself,
Do I need any more of this data?
Do I need any more story performance?
Do I need any more evidence from history?
This is not a good idea.
This is not sustainable,
Not to any life form upon this earth.
We will kill each other and we will kill our planet.
It is not of benefit any longer.
It has brought us to this point.
Thank you.
But that's it.
Now we stand here.
This is no longer of any value to us.
The only value that there is in it is to honour those who suffered immensely.
We thank them for their courage,
Their strength,
Their endurance,
Finding a way for us to get to this point.
We adore all of those darling beings with all our heart and soul and I'm so sorry it was so hard for you.
I love you and please forgive me for taking so long to get to this point of awareness.
But now we're here.
We at the point of awareness,
We're standing right between these two possibilities.
The contract we make now is that never again will I play in the stream of suffering and survival.
Never again.
And you,
My love,
Are the boss of you.
And you are the one who is seeing and knowing and understanding.
You have a perfect being through which to witness yourself in this life.
And you can choose.
And it's time now to choose.
What will you never do again?
You make a commitment to you to never do that again.
Because every time we activate a game,
We create more of that game.
Every time we take our sticky little fingers out of that game and stand here in a neutral position,
In admiration for what has been,
In anticipation of what is still to come,
We stand here in the purest,
Cleanest space we possibly can.
You come here now,
And you'll be here in this space,
Make an oath,
Claim,
Declare,
Decree,
Never again,
This being play in a low vibration of survival.
If it was just that easy,
That we could just say it and there it would be,
Wouldn't that be just delicious?
But unfortunately,
It's not like that.
Because we have played in this story for such a very long time,
We're going to have to practice this.
We're going to have to get our muscle a little bit stronger,
Truth muscle.
We have to go out there and play in the confusion and quickly snap ourselves out and come on back.
To this beautiful being that is sovereign.
Choosing,
Discerning,
Deciding.
What else could I be other than the game that I've been playing in?
We go out and we come back and we go out and we come back.
The ebb and flow,
The wax and wane.
Every time,
Just like the muscle in our arm,
It gets a little stronger because we're using that muscle now.
It's time for us to get strong in our awareness and our commitment.
Strengthen it by making that commitment in the moment you feel pulled out.
The moment you feel pulled out,
Make a commitment to pull out.
Yourself back quickly.
And here is how you do that.
In the moment you pulled out.
Say to your beautiful self,
Oh,
There it is,
There it is,
There's the gain.
Recognize it.
All you have to do is just recognize it.
See it.
Watch it.
Look out for it.
Catch it.
Catch you in the act.
Catch the act in the act.
Catch it,
And the moment you've caught it,
You are standing here as a witness.
And you witnessing the story.
You are no longer just being pulled along.
You are now in a different position.
You are the one standing here.
Noticing what is just here in front of you.
And all the time you are coming back.
Gathering your strength,
Gathering your courage.
Connecting into your truth,
Your sovereignty,
Choosing and choosing very well.
Choosing so that this life,
This being becomes the being that imprints a legacy for life to come.
It can only happen if the ones who are here now create it.
Notice,
Just notice.
And when you're noticing you in that turmoil,
You in that story,
Not having a great day,
Having a jump up and down screaming match,
Whatever you're doing as your darling ridiculous human,
Just notice it and send love to that reactive part of you that is just trying to protect you.
Don't you be shaming and blaming and judging yourself.
And don't you ever receive judgment from another.
You are not a sinner.
You are not someone who is unworthy.
You are the very breath of God,
Of divine.
You are the very breath of that.
There is no rubbish in you and there's nothing that's broken.
It's just that we've not been able to see until this point and we're here now,
My lovelies.
We're at the point of seeing.
It's just too wonderful for words.
Notice.
Lovingly notice.
Be okay with what it is that your darling human protective self is reacting in.
Smile at you,
Laugh at you.
What a ridiculous performance.
Fabulous.
Should get an Oscar for that.
Absolutely joyed.
Definitely getting an Oscar for that.
Great.
Kindness,
Compassion,
Sweetness.
As if you are nurturing a child and trying to grow them up to be a decent being that hasn't got so much inner reproach and hate and shame and blame.
You be that for you.
You be kind to you.
You be gentle with you.
You do that.
And you pay attention.
You agree with the pain that's coming in and you agree with you for being reactive in it.
But you're noticing it,
And then it becomes okay,
It's alright,
It's a part of me that just knows only one game,
And that's to protect.
So it's okay,
But now I'm aware and I stand here.
I stand here like the grown-up of my human self,
My human child.
And I notice it.
And I agree that my darling ridiculous way of performing is okay.
It's okay.
It's what we had to do.
So I bring an agreement in,
A kindness and a compassion in.
That's what we must do.
Because if we bring anything else,
We drop the energy again.
Kindness,
Love,
Compassion,
Forgiveness,
Sweetness.
Ho'oponopono.
I love you.
I'm so sorry.
Please forgive me.
Just bringing that into your own story,
Your own reactiveness,
Your own things.
When you speak it aloud,
You're teaching it to those around you.
Imagine your children hearing you say,
Oh my gosh,
There I go.
That wasn't so great.
Phew,
I reacted to that fast.
Let me stop,
Let me take a breath.
It's like you're coaching yourself and you're teaching those around you to observe that coaching awareness.
You come back here.
This,
My lovely,
Is what we're going to do for a long time.
Is train that muscle,
Get strong within the space of being able to stand here and stand strong.
Stand in the awareness that we are in the place of a massive shift,
A massive transformation.
And this is where we're standing in the place of transition,
Right between,
Space right between.
Everything that we are to become as a species is held in the potential of the space now.
Everything.
Imagine being here at the time when you step into the smorgasbord of all potential.
And you,
My love,
Get to choose which thread you're going to pull in.
And what are you going to let go of?
So that we can become a species that shifts into a much higher frame of reference of knowing a cosmic being.
We are right here,
We are right on the cusp.
It's just too wonderful for words.
If you hold yourself here now,
In this space,
In this lovely energy,
We're going to do that for a while,
Probably a long while.
All the while we are gaining muscle,
Strength,
Perspective,
Resolution,
Consciousness,
Insight.
And all the time when we're making space for something else,
Something else begins to awaken.
What I would rather choose,
What I would rather bring in.
Even if it just feels like it's a dream-like wishfulness,
Just imagine it.
It's the imaginal cells that make that little tiny little caterpillar all inside of the chrysalis,
All goopy,
Goopy,
Little bits of goop,
Turn into that beautiful butterfly.
A transformation,
Imaginal cells,
We have those imaginal cells,
We ignite it with our Imagine,
Imagine a world of peace and harmony,
Kindness and sweetness.
Imagine it,
Because it is all so possible.
I know this one seems very real,
But there is something else.
And we will bring it in.
When we can do this and we're standing inside and outside and we're in all the positions of our awareness,
Noticing that which is in our peripheral frequencies,
Noticing that which is closer and that which is distant,
And noticing it all and bringing that full body of awareness into this body,
Mind and being.
Now starting to work with our being in the most incredible way.
Plugging in,
Lock it in to your sovereignty and you stand here.
The next step is that we shift upwards.
It is like many sides of a multifaceted being,
A diamond that comes to a peak.
We had a little point,
Like a little pyramid at the point.
When we get to the point of that,
We get the point and we've got it.
We are a little bit on a journey now,
And these are the first steps.
Where do I stand now?
Work it out and work it out quickly,
My lovelies.
We're running out of time.
Get on board.
Look where you stand in this life.
Watch yourself,
Listen to your heart and your soul and pay attention because this is the most incredible part of your life journey.
What a wonderful gift to be here now in the front row of all the stories that are unfolding for the highest good of all beings.
May that be.
May that be.
And may you see yourself as pivotal to this whole expansion and opening up.
May you see it.
So much love to you,
My treasures.
Deep breath,
When we take a deep breath,
Let's do that,
Just lend this energy a long slow out-breath.
Just be here my lovelies you've got it you can do it well done so proud of you take care of you thank you for you
Meet your Teacher
