This is felt. You do not truly connect with othersouls, or thedepths of your soul, by thoughts orwords, butthrough deep feelings, desire and love. You ONLY connectwith God personally through your true, sincere soul‐emotional condition, throughyearning, desiring andprayingtoGodsincerelyfromyourheart.3At first, one can feel shy (shame) as one calls out toemotionally connect, or pray to God. One can feel naked,small,andnotdeservingto‘bother’almightyGod,whereasinpraying or evoking a ‘Master’, the connection can feelmorelikea friendand teacher,because that ‘Master’ is/wasoncehuman,justlikeyou.WithGod,youarecallingtoconnectwithyour Creator.

1.DENIAL

The first step is recognizing that there is somethingmissingand something not quite right in your life. That there issomethingmore,andthatdespiteyourbestefforts,thesamepatternskeeparisingagain.All our emotional and intellectual justifications,minimizations and denials of our deeper emotions serve tokeep us on the surface of life, and in fear. The surfaceemotions of denial are fear, anger, deflection, shame, selfpunishment, resentment, feigned or unconscious ignorance,unwillingness to look at something obviously happening inyour life, projectionandblame. If youdoanyoneof theseatany time, youare indenialandarestayingon thesurfaceofyoursoul,inthesoul’swounds.Youareblockingoutlifeandlove,andchoosinginsteadtolovefearmorethanlove.Other ways denial and fear can manifest are throughaddictions, such as food, drugs, sex, books, socializing, notwishing to be alone, becoming too busy or career/worldorientated,andthewheelofspiritualseekingitself.Acknowledge and ask to feel the feeling underneath thepattern, thepain, the fear, theanger thatyouknow is there.Ask to feel it totally.Theprecisionofprayermakes it100%effectivewhen it is appliedwithDivine laws of love. AskingGodoranyoneelsetowipeoutyourownhurts,creationsanderrors against love before feeling them fullywill only delayyour own souls growth, and in truth will not actually work.There are no shortcuts around the law of cause and effect andfreewill. They are the basis of the universe. We only feel painbecauseofourowndenialoflove,eithernoworinthepast.Then,Acceptthefeeling

ANDAsktofeelandfullyembracethefeeling,letssayfear,withprayertoGod, asking for Divine Love, the greatest accelerator andtransformative power in the universe. Stay with the feeling forhowever long it takes. It is simple yet it works completely andtotally with your sincere desire. And it will release your soulforever from these emotions, and their causes, that no other‘method’cando.To acknowledge the feelingwith awareness is not enough. Theremaybe fearor emotionaldeceptionhere, keepingyouaway fromtheemotionalcharge.Onecanthenmove into thesecondstageof‘leapfrogging’overthetopof theemotionbyapparentlyacceptingthe emotion, all within the safety of your own head.Intellectualizingthewholeprocess, imaginingthatyouarehealingyourself,feelingjustsurfaceemotions,gladthatyouhaveidentifiedyourpatternsorwounds, isa classicmistake.Allyouaredoing isdelayingtheinevitable,andmaybeevenmakingitworse.The biggest fear here is thinking that the pain stored underneaththesurfaceistoomuchforyoutobear,thatitwilloverwhelmyou,that itwillgoon forever.Youmayhave fears thatsomeemotionsare just impossible to feel, or that youmay become engulfed andoverwhelmedbytheirsensation,thatitmightbetoobigtohandle,thatyouarenotcapableof feelingthem,thatyoumaystarttocryandneverknowhow to stop.This is fearblockingyou from trulyfeelingwhatyouneed to feel.Thisanticipatingof pain, the fearofpain,isactuallyworsethanthepainitself;bothtriggerthesamepartofthebrainandemotions.So,atthisplace,addresstheissuebyasking,“WhyamIblockingmyemotions?”Up will bubble the usual suspects: failure, weakness, emotionalbreakdown, mental reasons, a need to be perfect, a wish to notbother anyone or God, awish to please others, fears ofmadness,despair….thelistgoeson.However,oncethereisanopening,eventheowningoftheseinitialfearsbringsrelief.

Fearscausethestrongestchargesofresistance,butonceyouhavefelt these fully, the deeper feelings that emerge can be embraced.Yes, of course there areother feelings tobe experienced, but it isnowhere near as close to the discomfort of fearing the fear itself!You now know that you are not a failure or weak, that breakingdown actually requires great strength, and that eventually itwilldissolve,freeingyouforeverintoanindescribableLove.When you start to experience a desire, yearning and consistentaskingtofeelallandanyemotionsthatmayflowthroughyou,youknowitisbecauseofthelovethatwaitsforyouontheotherside.Irelishthechancetofeelmysoulwounds,knowingthattheoutcomewillbemoreloveformysoul;moreclosenesstoGod(astherearelessbarrierstoGod)andthenthislovecanflowouttoallothers.Itisawin‐win‐winsituation, formysoul, forallothersouls,and forGod,whodeeplydesirestoknowmemore.Sowhynotdoit?2.VULNERABILITYAll of this involves vulnerability, in total honesty, expression andtransparency. This reveals ALL the hidden thoughts, feelings andagendas you have been keeping secret to yourself, and from allothers. Secrecy is the hallmark of shame, and is a big block tohumility. Themore you keep anything secret, themore it hauntsyou,buildingupmoreandmorelayersovertimeofshame,regret,judgment, self loathing, fear and anger, as well as many mentalstrategiesofcontinual lyingtocoveroverthefearyoumayfeelatexposingyourself.Themoreyoucoverupanddonot fully feeland investigatewhatyouarekeepingwithinyou,eventhoughyouknowit is there, themoreyouaresuppressingyoursoulandyourcapacitytoloveandto receiveDivineLove.Themoreyou reveal andexpressyourselfhonestlytobewhoyouarerightnow,ratherthanwhatyouwouldlike to be in the future ORwhat otherswould like to see you as,(reputation and appearances) the closer you arewalking towardsGodinaverypracticalandtangibleway.Themoreyoudothis,the

This occurs when we feel that the outerrelationship is our salvation without loving ourselves andconnecting to theDivine, first and foremost.Not loving your ownself is feeling that if you receive enough support through beinglovedbyanotheryouwill,atlast,beabletobefullyyourself.Lovehere is a need, a need to attach oneself to another in order toachieveasenseofsecurity,safetyandbelongingfromtheotherorthings of thisworld. This need reflects something to us from ourchildhood,andfromourwoundingofnotfeelingsafe.Freedombecomes lost because you project onto otherswhat youcan only truly realize within yourself and with God. Thisdependency becomes a trap, as now freedom is dependent onanother. What can result is giving to get, or conditional love;thinking that the other can fulfill you;manipulating to “keep” theother; over romanticizing, creating ideals, putting the other on apedestal; thinkingthattheBeloved“belongs”tothem,orcanown,beowned,possessorbepossessed,controlorbecontrolled.Manytimes the deepest lessons we learn are from the most difficultrelationships, relationships that prepare us for the RealRelationship;withSelfandwithGod.Becoming obsessed by the object of your affection, becominginfatuatedbythedreamandquestfortheperfect‘other,’ofhavingalovethatwilllast,thinkingheorshecansolveeverythingforyou,is a lie.

So, golooking for all the places in your lifewhere it is not in alignmentwithDivinelaws,DivineLoveandloveforyourownsoul.The difference between humility and unworthiness is thatunworthiness is a felt lack of lovewhereas humility is a yearningfor love.

When you feel unworthy, also notice ashadowofprideandprojectionisstill thereinotherpartsofyourlife;theyarepolarities.Whenyou are inhumility, there is no chargeof ‘I shouldbe this,’but I am not.

This cage or boundary is created bywaveformlike transmissions, which emit certain frequencies that halt ourability, temporarily, tomove outside of it to rise beyond this helldimension.And this is why it was crafted and inserted into ourDNA, to keep us electromagnetically disconnected from the FULLlifegivingpoweroftheSun,(andwhatliesbeyondourSun)andtosiphonourgeneticenergy,ourlifecodings,awayfromourdivinelydesigned pathways, instead re routing it to these ‘false gods’ ornegativespirits.Likeinthefilm, ‘TheMatrix’,weare justbatteriesinapowerplanttothem.To release this part of ourDNAheld in thismatrix cage, requiressomething simple but profound.We just need to feel a deep andprofound‘touch’ofDivineLovethatwillpermeatethistechnologyof hell, this vibrational mesh‐like membrane.

And your mind comes up with ways ofhaving to create some law that works for you. ‘This works in myrelationship,letsdothis;myboyfriendlikesthis,letstrythis.’That’sa‘boyfriend law’.

So your greatest fear is actually love. Because controllable love isnot love, that is still up in themind. God is not controllable. Youhavenochanceeverofcontrollingthis,andyouwouldnotwanttoeitherbecauseitissogood.Whenyoureceiveit,youdonotwanttocontrol it. You justwantmore of it.

One of themost profound sayings of Jesus.Why did he say that?Thinkaboutthatone,nodon’tthinkabout,justdoit.Powerlessnessiswhatyouarereallyscaredof.Dyingphysicallyiseasy, one second, boom! But the real fear is being completelypowerless, because then you have to feel, and then die to all thefear, control and pain that creates who you think you are; yourmask,yourdefenses.Thatisthescarything.If your greatest fear is torture, it is because you are torturingyourself every day. You are scared of it because it is alreadyactually happening on some level. On some level, your soul is intorture,andthereisapartofyoursoulthatisthererightnowandis in suffering. So what you are scared of is actually alreadyoccurring. Sometimeswhat you are scaredof iswhat you alreadyhave done.

We create our ownlaws, our personal truths thatwe use to navigate through life, tosurvive in thisworld, toconformandgetby, throughwhatothershavedemonstrated tous andwe think then is truth.This is a lifeandworld thathasbeenartificially constructed,ALLbuilt aroundthe wound of being separated from love, the greatest need anddesireofoursouls.To move more into living in love, we need to see how we aresubstituting for love and truth in our life.We create substitutes tostop us from feeling our deeper wounds, and these substitutes,needsandaddictionskeepuscirclingroundandroundintheeffectsof these deep seated emotions that form the very fabric of ourwounded soul. The more we circle, the more frustrated we canbecome at our lack of progress, at our own unwillingness to feeldeeper,untilsomethinghasgottogive.We fill the holes of our wounds with cheap, pale imitations andsubstitutes from theworld and other people around us. All thesesubstitutesaremedicationsforthecausalwoundunderneath. It islike covering over a bleeding, cut off stumpof an amputated armwithapieceoftissuepaper,andhopingitwillstickanddothejob.A substitute can also be called an addiction.

Manymenwill be experiencingthis in subtle and not so subtleways. The second group of angrymale spirits intend to sabotage women, so they want to harm,attackandsubjugate the ladies,preyingonthe feminine’swoundsaroundthemasculine.Allofthisisbasedonthesoulswounds,andrefusingtofeeltheinitialwoundinvulnerabilityandopenness.MuchofwhatisbeingsharedintheworldontheDivineFeminineisnot;itisactuallycomingfromawound,andisbeingrunbytheseangryfemininespirits.Manywomenareinfluencedbythesespiritsbecause they have become so polarized in the feminine woundfrom their childhood and from subsequent intimate relationshipsthat rejects themasculine because of previous pain, betrayal andabandonment felt by them ‘through’ the masculine. Sharing‘teachings’ of the Divine Feminine from these wounds, fromseparation from themasculine, comes frommainly singlewomen.So anyone who is teaching on this subject, and is not relating, isshowingsomething.65InitiallybasedonAJMiller’stalk,althoughIhavehadmajorexperienceofthismanytimes.

These femininespiritswant toputdownandkeepdown themen(andviceversa for themasculine spirits to the feminine)becausethey want to rule the world; they want a total matriarchy orpatriarchyonthisplanet.Thatistheirpurpose,theirgoal,andtheywant theothersex insecondposition; theywilldowhatever theycantomakesuretheyarekeptdownemotionally,helpingtoensurethat the other sex stay in judgment about themselves, stay inunworthinessanddon’tcomefullyintotheirheart,orconnecttheirhearttotheirsexualityandsoul.Theywant theother sex todoubt their self, tobe in apositionofservitude.Theywant tokeepalive theoldparadigmofmenbeingsupporters and totally looking after their women and thereforeunabletofullydropintotheirownemotions,(andhaveasenseofharmonyandequalitybetweenmenandwomen)anythingtokeepthe other sex away from their true emotions andwounds and intheirhead,moreinaworldlyrole.This is not actually how God created us.

They also like to give bothman andwoman an inflated sense of themselves, subtly suggesting: ‘youdeserve this, this is what you are worth, you deserve to be incharge, you deserve to run the household, you deserve to be incharge of the money that your man earns, you deserve to be incontrol because you are earning the money, so you make thedecisionsetc’sothereisaninstantpolarity.Thethingtheyhatethemostiswhenthereismutuality.Sotheywillwork the other way to create more imbalance and disharmony.Theywillsay to thewomen, ‘you lookaftereveryone, that isyourjob,thatisloving,thatiswhatawomandoes.Lookaftereverythingandtakecareofthemall–makesuretheyfeelnopain.Justsayyes

This idea of service often comes from a sense ofunworthiness,guilt,shameandfear,andisusedbythesenegativespirits. Or it could be the other way, as in be totally angry andemotionallycutoff,andhavethisfaçadeofworldlypowerorwhatisperceivedofasmasculinestrength.These spiritswould ratherbeangryand repressed than feel theirown pain, grief and powerlessness. So these men will say ‘yes, Ialwayswant todowhatyouwant todo,dear,’alwaysagreeing toeverythingthewomansays,becausetheyhavelittleself‐love.Theywill always try to please and placate women, because they don’twant to feel. These angry males can often be quite religious anddogmatic.The angry feminine spirits delight in women being single or in arelationship that does not honour self love, freewill, or followingonesownpassions,becausethentheyareeasilyinfluencedandwillnotreallygettheopportunitytoexperiencelove.Theyreallylikeitwhenwomenarealone,becauseitservesthemverywell, fortheyare always at work trying to createmore vessels to spread theirpolarizedmessage.

The reason Ihavebeen soadamant thatwombwork is taughtbycouplesisforthisreason.Becausewhattheyaretryingtodowithwombwork is to take it into thehandsofwomen,so thatwomencan come together and dominatemen. They want to emotionallyharm men, in anyway, in everyway. And bless them, it is onlybecause they arewounded, but they are totally unwilling and tooproudtolookattheirwoundsandtheythinktheyareright.Thesespiritshaveallbeenworkingthroughallofyou,atdifferenttimesindifferentways.And the thing to remember is that theywill use anything to stopyoubecoming truly in the feminineor truly in themasculine, andultimately in your own sovereign soul. They will use anyrelationship, theywill use any attachment, theywill use anythingtheycanputtheirhandsonthatisunclearandwoundedinyoutotwist you so you do not access the essence of your feminine ormasculinesoul. Andthiscanserveasagreataccelerationonyourpath, or a very destructive force depending on your humility andself‐awarenessoftheseforcesandyourownwounding.Theangrymalespiritsarelikelytousethetoolsofmoney,power,control,authorityanddogmatohelpthemintheirquest.Serialandextended polygamy is part of this play out, which is actually asubstitute for soul mate love. The feminine spirits will use yourfamilies,yourchildren,yourparentsandkeepyouattachedtothemandtheirmodelsofwhat itmeans tobeagoodwomanoragoodman,keepingyouumbilicallyattachedtothat.They want to hook you up with men or women who cloak yourwound,matchyourwound,andcreatemorekarmaforyou,aswellashighlysexualpeoplewhotheycanfeedoffandenjoythequalityoftheirsexualenergy.Andthefunnythingisthatyouallthinkthatthis is loving because it is highly charged and sexually ‘pleasing’.(Read the Chapter ‘what is love and what is not’ in the bookDimensionsoflove.)AgoodexampleofhowthenegativesisterhoodworksisMrsX(realnamewithheld.)Whilst this is amore extreme case, it illustrateswell the basic themes of how these spirits start to infiltrate and

In SacredRelating, sexual energies are one of the three elements,onepartof theTrinity,alongwith thehuman loveof thesoulandthe Divine Love of God.
