MAYAN MESSAGE DAY 66
CIMI 1 Victim Be Gone!
I am Cimi; welcome to this time of sharing. We are grateful that you have an interest in working with us as a means of understanding your humanity in a more forthright manner. Know that within you lies all understanding. We are here to support you and to help you awaken those gifts that lie within. Today we would like to talk about death. Not just physical death, but death to behaviors and attitudes that no longer serve you. How do you kill a repeated behavior? How do you smite an attitude? With the sword of awareness.
First, you must know what you are doing and saying on a conscious level. Much of what humans do and say is simply rote, repeated patterns that are done automatically. When you meet another, you say, “Hello, how are you?” The other responds, “Fine, thank you.” Then you part ways. Nothing was said, nothing was shared. Superficial. Most of your conversations are the same.
How often do you have deep conversations with those you have recently met? It is just as likely that family gatherings have the same shallow interactions. You may have one or two friends that you share deeply with. Yet, even in the best of situations, most of you hold back what is deep in your heart for fear of being ridiculed or rejected.
Can you imagine what this world would be like if each person you interacted with made a true heart connection? How often do you pass a stranger without acknowledgement? How many times have you sensed another person was in need, but you avoided eye contact and walked on by? How many times have you felt lost, needing to talk to someone, but had no one to turn to?
What if you meet a stranger on the street and you sense the other is in need. Instead of looking away and passing by, you stop and say, “Hello, I sense you are grappling with a problem. Can I offer a listening ear?” Can you see the beauty in these interactions? You would truly become a more compassionate and caring society! Why is it that so many of you are lonely and feel that you have no one to confide in? Could it be that you have built walls of protection based on a foundation of mistrust surrounded by a sea of pain? How do you get beyond so you can open the door and let others in?
It will be easier for some than others. Slaying the dragon of fear takes courage. The first step is to remove yourself from the label of victim. The “poor me” stories must end. Today. No longer see yourself as one that others can trample on. Building your self-esteem is key. How to do this? Develop skills of positive thinking.
Whenever you feel or catch yourself saying derogatory things about yourself or others, stop and change your thoughts. Know that you are a unique being, fully capable of love, respect and trust in yourself and in the eyes of others. Low self-esteem is a habit, as well as playing the role of victim.
We understand that all of you have been hurt by others, whether on the physical, mental or emotional level. Thus is the nature of the world you live in. This need not be so. It is within the power of each of you to learn to be more responsible for your words and behaviors when it comes to respecting the Earth and all her inhabitants.
How to slay the pains of the past and present? Forgiveness is the key. Personally removing yourself as a “victim” is the lock. Prepare to empower yourself by taking a look back at these pains with an objective point of view. No matter how painful the situation, your healing will begin when you can release the emotions that have you locked inside your castle.
Know that when you return to the past to rectify a situation, you can ask your Spirit Guides for assistance. You can ask that you go back as an observer, simply watching the movie without re-living the pain you felt during those times of distress. Practice doing this until you have it mastered. This will make it easier for you to face your greatest fears and hurts.
Go within by quieting your senses. Retreat to a quiet place where you will not be disturbed. Get into a comfortable position and relax, letting go of the worries of the day. Focus on your breathing as you allow your body to relax. Invite your Guides to help you with this process. Tell them you would like to review the scene without the pain that was incurred during the initial event.
Your purpose in going through the review process is to begin removing the layers of negative thoughts and emotions that are now blocking you from a life of joy. Allow yourself to go back to a situation that has caused you much grief. Know that you will not die, that your grief is manageable and that healing is possible. If you have deep wounds and traumas, we suggest you practice with lesser events first, until you master the ability to return to the scene as an objective viewer.
Arm yourself with your sword of awareness and prepare to face your dragon of fear. As you observe the scenario that you have chosen, be mindful of the emotions you feel. Pay attention to your role in the situation. What are you saying? How are you acting? What do you hear? What do you smell? Be as objective as possible. Be as honest as you can when it comes to your role in the situation. There may have been times when you were completely helpless and at the mercy of your perpetrator. Yet you do not need to continue to feel as though you are a victim. This label will perpetuate throughout every aspect of your life until you are able to slay it.
Look objectively at how the situation arose in the first place. What was your role in setting it up? Were there some bad judgments you made that set up the possibility for the event? Are you still beating yourself up for your bad choices? If so, take time now to release those feelings. There are many methods you can take. One way is to forgive yourself. Forgiveness is simply acknowledging that all involved were doing the best they could at the time. Even though you may know what you were doing was not right or is causing pain to another, you are simply doing the best you can within the belief codes and pain that you were experiencing at the time. You can continue to live your life consciously causing pain to yourself or others; this is part of free will, but it will not give you joy.
Are you ready to slay the dragon and begin to change your behaviors in order to become a more loving and compassionate person? It can happen in the twinkling of an eye, whenever you make the conscious choice to stop beating yourself up or convincing yourself that this is your lot in life. There are many stories of people who have turned their lives around. They are people just as you, who have taken the time to accept responsibility for their thoughts, words and actions. They have slain their dragons and now soar with the eagles. Is this something you desire? Only you can loose your chains of bondage.
Let us return to the past scenario that has caused you such grief. Observe objectively. Many times, you will see that there were things you could have said or done to prevent the situation from arising in the first place. Forgive yourself and consider this a learning experience. This holds true for those of you who allowed the experience to continue for a long period of time. Take time often to review ways you can act if a future situation arises so it will never go to the depths that it did in your past. This will give you a sense of power and control over your life. You will come to realize that this dragon will never raise its hideous head again.
Perhaps as you return to the past event, you recognize there was nothing you could have done to protect yourself from the event occurring. There are times when people find themselves in the wrong place at the wrong time. Know that in the future, if you find yourself in a similar situation, you can call on your Spirit Guides to help protect you.
There are untold stories of miraculous, unexplainable events that occur which helped people to escape harm in various situations. Help is always at your side. In the event that you find yourself in what appears to be a helpless situation, remaining as calm as possible will allow you to hear the guidance from your Spirit Helpers and you will find ways to escape the dilemma. Know that all things are possible. This is one way to help slay the dragon of victimhood. You must empower yourself with confidence and know that you are never alone.
Going back to the scenario that you are trying to heal, at that time you probably didn’t know you could call on Spirit Helpers. You may be asking, “Why didn’t they help me then?” The answer is simple, you didn’t ask. They are not able to intercede for humans unless they are asked. You can take time now to give them permission to assist you in future events that endanger your life or cause you extreme pain or strife. You can ask them now to help you find ways to overcome the fears and pains of the past. They are always at your side and happy to be of assistance.
Understand they will not prevent you from experiencing all events that are less than pleasant for there are many complexities involved in the setup of your life Path. This would impinge on many opportunities for your growth, for like a diamond, its value comes from extreme pressure. However, they can help you avoid dilemmas that are not yours to endure. For example, you may have a strong feeling not to go to the bank one day, only to find out later there was a bank robbery going on at the time you would have been there.
Develop a relationship with your Guides. Learn to recognize them when they try to communicate with you. Many of you have blocks of unbelief that shuts down communication. Work past these codes and develop a relationship with your personal Guides. All of your ancient and modern religions speak of Angelic Beings. Much of your art from prehistoric times to the present depict various forms of Beings, both terrestrial and extra-terrestrial. They do exist; allow yourself to believe. Untold miracles will happen in your life as you learn to work co-creatively with these conscious Beings.
Each of you has what is sometimes referred to as the Higher Self, the part of you that remains in other Dimensions. What you know as “you” is only a fragment of the whole of who you are. There is an unseen strand that connects you at all times with your Higher Self for advice and comfort. There are many books offering advice on how to connect with your Higher Self. Seek out ones you are intuitively drawn to.
We will not get into the whole creation process at this time. Simply know there are Beings of love and light that are beyond your senses of sight and sound. They are here to serve you. They are in awe of you, for they know the difficulties and extreme patience it takes to be a Human Being. Many of us have declined offers to enter your Dimension for it is too dense and dark. We offer assistance to those of you who have chosen to come here to experience physicality. It is our extreme pleasure to be able to assist you as you find your way through the maze leading to conscious living.
As you return to the scenario that you wish to heal, call on your Higher Self to help you better understand the purpose of what happened in the past. Many times, you will be amazed at what you discover. Perhaps it was a tragic event that now allows you the opportunity to assist others going through similar situations. Perhaps the tragedy has allowed you to grow in ways you might never have attained before.
It is not uncommon for children who have suffered extreme abuse to overcome the hate and fear of their perpetrators and then spend their time creating ways to stop this behavior from happening to others. Many times the perpetrators themselves can be healed from the wounds that allowed them to go to such extremes. Forgiveness of self and others is most important in being able to move forward in life. No one knows fully what another is experiencing or the reasons behind the choices they make. Do not be quick to judge others until you have walked a mile in their shoes. This does not exonerate others from the choices they made that were oppressive to others. However, with compassion and through forgiveness of yourself and others, you can release the fear and pain associated with being the victim or the perpetrator.
Perhaps in the scenario, you were the one responsible for causing the pain to others. It is most likely that you suffered abuses in your past, as well. We suggest you take the above advice and go back further in your past and heal the wounds that you received. You will then be better equipped to forgive yourself of your transgressions.
Now we wish to address those who were at the mercy of others who forced themselves upon you. Physically there was no way you could protect yourself. In many cases, it wasn’t even a matter of being in the wrong place at the wrong time. Although you may qualify under the classical definition of the word “victim,” know that you have the power within you to move beyond that belief code and to live a more fulfilling and rewarding life. There are a variety of ways to slay the dragon of victimhood.
First, you must fully desire to give up your role as victim. Many of you have identified yourself so closely with this role that it has become a part of you. You retell your story over and over to others, ad nauseum. This may sound harsh, but it is true. Do you see yourself in this pattern? If you truly want to break away, then you must stop telling your story. It is time to go beyond. Accept any part of the scenario that you were responsible for, forgive others involved and by all means stop identifying yourself as a victim.
Others of you hold dearly onto your victimhood by holding your dirty secret within. You won’t allow even yourself to go back and revisit the situation. You have developed belief codes that people are not safe, they are out to get you, etc. Again, we suggest going through the process and moving out of the victim role that keeps you locked in fear and depression.
The majority of you are in the middle. Whenever anyone shares their story with you, there are generally three ways the victim responds. They relate to the other by saying things such as “Yes, I experienced that, too.” Then you continue to commiserate and add more fuel to the fire by connecting your negative thoughts and feelings. No healing takes place. In fact, the role of victim between both of you and throughout the universe has just been strengthened. Remember, negative thoughts and feelings glop together, gaining strength.
The second thing that generally happens is that the person who brings up the past experience is seeking to gain support for their role as a victim, whether they are doing it consciously or not. When they come across a person that offers to help them overcome their victim role, they blow them off with statements such as, “You don’t understand me!” Then they walk away, remaining in their comfort zone of being a victim.
Perhaps the most damaging are those who refuse to speak about their traumatic experiences. They hide within their shells, never allowing themselves to feel the repressed emotions. They view the world as bad and have total mistrust for all others. Their isolation deepens as others hurt them along the way. There is no sense of responsibility or control. No matter where they go or what they do, they expect to get hurt. You know what? This is exactly what occurs. Like attracts like; it is a law of this universe. If you believe strongly that something bad will happen, it will, for that is where you keep your attention. Belief is the force that creates your reality. It can work to your benefit or to your demise.
The whole purpose in us bringing forth the teachings in this book is to encourage you to face your fears. Change your behaviors and slay the dragons that keep you from living a life of joy! Share these teachings. Encourage others to face their fears by supporting them when they endeavor to change their belief codes. No matter how strange others may choose to speak, dress or behave, love them just as they are. Do you wish anything less for yourself?
Those who wish to assist others in overcoming their fears will be of most help when they have done their own homework. It is easy to see the weaknesses of others, but much harder to see it within yourself. Allow others to grow at their own pace. You may offer advice or assistance, but it is not healthy to force your position onto others; this is no different that what has already been experienced by those who have had others force their will on them.
A rapist does just as much damage to his victim as does a friend who insists someone follows their advice. In either case, the other person feels helpless and disempowered. See this, feel it, know this is true. Offer assistance, but never force it upon anyone. Each of you can take only so much change at a time. You each walk to the beat of a different drummer, thus your pace is different.
Practice loving all unconditionally. Express your love by accepting them as they are. When each of you learns to do this, you will have gained the world and be able to receive all the blessings that are offered to you. This can be done in the twinkling of an eye. In an instant, you can transform this world back into the paradise that it once was. It is simply a matter of choice and intention. Your will be done. We hope these words reach your heart and assist you in making better choices for yourself. We wish you a day full of wonder and joy!
Selamet! Cimi 1
