So, you want to know what all this Wake Up! stuff is about? Well, you’ve come to the right place! This blog will bring you insight, personal stories and discoveries, guidance, exercises, concepts, questions and answers to help you become fully aware of the essence and Source of who and what and where you really are. More to the point – the information provided here will help you Wake Up! your consciousness!
We have to start someplace, and that place is the understanding, knowing, feeling, awareness, actually getting it, or yes – waking up to the knowing that we are an individual expression of the Source of All There Is… that we are a part of a grand whole… that we are all ONE and at the same time unique discrete vessels of the ONE.
I’ve always been intrigued by the phrase “I Am That I Am.” Who is the ‘I’? What is the ‘That’? Why doesn’t the saying stop at “I Am That”? What is important about the final “I Am”? What does this statement want me to know or understand in general, and in particular about the nature of reality and my own nature? I did some research and found out that “I Am That I Am” is a common English translation of the Hebrew Ehyeh Asher Ehyeh which is the response God gave to Moses in Exodus 3:14 when Moses asked: When the people ask for your name what should I tell them?
‘Am’ is the first person singular of the infinitive verb ‘be’. On onelook.com I found the following relevant quick definitions which help to clarify the meaning of the statement “I Am That I Am” through the definitions of the verb ‘to be’: have the quality of being; have life, be alive; be identical to; be someone or something; occupy a certain position or area; be somewhere; happen, occur, take place; have an existence, be extant; be identical or equivalent to; form or compose.
If the Divine Source of All There Is is the I, and if anything one can conceive of in creation is the That, then the statement means Source is | Everything | is Source. That’s a mirror statement that means the same thing on the out-breath and the in-breath, backward and forward, outside and inside, front and back, top, bottom and sides. No matter how you look at it Source is everything and everything is Source. The I is the all, the Oneness, the ONE. So, if we decide this is true, imagine what I Am That I Am means for us personally, what it means for humanity collectively, and the implications of I Am That I Am in this 3-D world of duality! Does it change the perception of reality even a little?
If I turn my attention around and metaphorically look at the Sun for a moment, I realize I Am has been there the whole time even though the clouds (of this 3-D experience) may have obscured my ability to see or even remember that it is there. Just a little something to Wake Up! our curiosity about who we are.
More to come… In The ONE . . .

Breath is the Presence of Creator
SEPTEMBER 1 2024
Let us acknowledge and support each other in the practice of Presence – which is living and having our attention on what is in front of us in the now moment as much as possible.
The present or now moment is where our Soul can be found and our Soul is our direct connection to and line of communication with Divine Source – no middleman or expert needed.
Being focused in the present moment as much as possible, and not giving our attention or energy to any fear-driven, ego/mind/thoughts/memories or media, is the only place we can find the peace of mind, inner truth, guidance or joy we may seek or need.
Being in Presence is the only place we can access our healing and creative abilities and our gifts of Spirit. (See List of Abilities in the Veil of Unknowing chapter of Ego and Essence)
Being in Presence starts with putting our attention on each breath in and out – which is the breath of Creator allowing this physical body to live and have experiences.
We are being called more strongly than ever this coming year to focus and rely on our inner connection to the Divine as much as we possibly can so that we can lift ourselves, this planet and humanity into the Love frequency emanation of the Source of All There Is. Despite all the chaos in the world or in our lives, as more and more Light penetrates the unconsciousness of humanity, we have to hold steady and strong like Lighthouses on the rocky shores. We must be in balance internally and know that we are all embodied emanations of Creator here to help Nova Gaia shift more easily into the higher frequency she is moving into. And we are too.
Here’s the hard part . . . to be in the world holding the Love-Light-Wisdom-Truth-Peace beam bright and steady; but not of the world, drawn into or reacting to the negativity and darkness that is trying so hard to maintain the old fear-based paradigm and status quo by resisting this unavoidable, oceanic wave of change into the new paradigm of love.
Every time we let people, or the world, or our egos pull us into fear, negativity or ignorance, we have forgotten who we are and why we’re here.
So go back to your breath again and again.
Give thanks that the Creator is always present within us and our breath is that reminder.
