The Caveman’s Perspective

Below is a recent re-telling of guidance that came through during a recent session of a sweet clients. I always feel like the little stories and images that come through from people's spiritual teams are often the most healing, as it is the epitome of a “picture is worth a thousand words” and can often be universally helpful… meaning they can often be related to by more than just one of us 🙂

So below, with my client's permission, is her team’s sweet Fable… I am titling it: 

“The Caveman’s Perspective”

Please enjoy 🙂

As the scene started off, I was shown what appeared to be a prehistoric man trying desperately to get inside what seemed to be a cave hidden behind a giant rock. 

He was in absolute panic! 

It felt like he was completely freaking out, and had lost all rational thought, and trying with all his might to move this giant rock in front of him, in what seemed to be an attempt to escape something. 

As the scene panned wider, I was shown the sky starting to fill with thousands of shooting stars. It was a meteorite shower! And it was magnificent…filling the sky with endless falling stars.

However, to the cave man, this was what he was terrified of!

I was shown him flattening himself down against the rock, bracing for what he clearly believed to be “the end.” In his belief system, his time had come. This surely meant the end of the world as he knew it.

What was being conveyed from my client's team, was that to this man, this unknown abnormality in the sky was a death sentence. An armaghetten if you will. A sign from God that the earth was ending and that this was just the first sign that all hell was about to break loose. 

Now what my client’s guides made clear to me, was that to us, in modern day, with the knowledge we have now, we know none of the conclusions made by our dear caveman friend are true. 

In fact, in our culture, we believe quite the opposite! We often go seek these rather rare natural phenomena and embrace them as beautiful and even breathtaking! 

Heck we even view shooting stars as blessings! We make wishes on them! 

But that is because we have knowledge this sweet caveman did not have, we know the sky is not falling, we know it is not a sign of an angry God deciding to end it all, we know it is something far and above us and it is not going to cause us harm.

With our greater awareness and knowledge of a bigger picture, with more information to draw upon, plus a CULTURAL belief in the positive direction, we view this same life event with awe, wonder, and good fortune.

However, from the caveman’s perspective, he was INTERPRETING what he was seeing as bad, dangerous, and soon to be destructive. And because of this INTERPRETATION or BELIEF  due to his limited knowledge about the situation, he was creating a very real experience within his body. Creating a cascade of adrenaline hormones, and a fight or flight response within his entire system.

This was a very dramatic depiction of false interpretation of a situation, but how many of us can relate to some area in our life, past or current, either a situation, experience, or decision, where we have “deemed” it “bad” or “horrific” or even “shameful” etc. 

Yet, could it be possible, if we saw it with more love, or from a higher perspective, could this same situation be seen differently? Perhaps from this higher place, with more awareness, information and knowledge of the bigger picture or purpose or learning in our life, what if our Soul actually views it as something positive. Maybe it is even something our Soul planned for our life experience to help us learn and grow through, and gain a deeper awareness around. 

What my client's guides wanted to convey was that there can be things in our life that we think of as “bad” or “horrific” or the “worst thing ever” and yet, as illustrated in this little story, not all things we have assigned as terrible, necessarily are. In fact, from further down the road, with more life under our belts we may be able to see the same situation as even happening for us! That it helped shape our life in a certain way, and possibly for the better. It could be as simple as, it was an extremely challenging time, yet it forced us to take our power back, and we came out stronger.

 And what if down the road, we wished we had not suffered and beat ourselves up so much during the experience, when possibly we just didn't know any better at the time. Or what if the CULTURAL belief we bought into during that period of life made us INTERPRET something as bad? But maybe when we drop into our hearts we can see it was all just perspective and we really were doing the right thing for us? Or the best we could at the time, with the knowledge and life experience available to us during that time.

 A major lesson from this scene and our caveman friend is how we can create a rather painful INNER reality for ourselves when we limit our perspective to the negative. Because from where he was standing, with the limited knowledge he knew, his conclusion wasn’t necessarily “right” but it did create a VERY real visceral response within his body. Because of what he THOUGHT or BELIEVED about the experience he was witnessing, he created the potent biological response of panic within his being. And as many of you know, panic is no small experience.

But how often do we let our beliefs and our thoughts about some area of our life then dictate our inner “reality?” For example, perhaps instead of panic, because of what we BELIEVE (meaning its not necessarily what is the TRUTH about a situation) we then create the biochemical response of guilt within our body, mind, and field? Or shame? Or anger? 

All of these feelings and emotions are not pleasant and extremely toxic to the human energy system and physical body, yet we so often unconsciously create them and live with these underlying vibrations due to stances we took around some situation in life, whether we were directly involved in it or not.

So I challenge you today to take a look at an area in your life, where maybe you have “frozen” a certain perspective about it. You decided it meant something about you, or someone else, or your life. But what if this certain view point you have always held, wasn’t necessarily the whole truth? Or even truthful at all? What if there was another way to INTERPRET the situation, and possibly with this new perspective it no longer caused you harm within your being? Could it be possible that if we opened our hearts to a new way of looking at things we might actually be able to change the whole experience in our bodies and mind? 

That is the true magic of life. 

Lets pretend for a second if this scene continued that someone this caveman trusted, and say had “authority” in this arena (according to the caveman) say the tribe’s medicine man, came to him and told him everything was going to be ok, that what he was witnessing was actually a blessing from God, and a sign of good to come…..don’t you think that this man would have slowly started to relax and feel better? And now with a different lens to see this natural occurrence through, he might have (after a few minutes to calm down) been able to actually enjoy the experience? 

So what if we could ask our teams, the universe and/or our higher selves to open up our bodies, minds and hearts to seeing whatever situation it is for us, from a new more loving perspective? From a perspective God/Universal oneness might see it from. 

So here is my challenge to you today: Ask the universe, your Angels, or your spiritual team, whatever resonates with you, to expand your heart, mind, and body to a higher perspective of any situation that is still hard for you to think about. It can be any past event or a current situation you are struggling with. 

Be truly open to a knew way of seeing it. Take a quiet moment to truly go within , cover your heart with your hands so you have an awareness of asking from this place.. And ask to see this situation from God’s/Spirit/Light and love’s  perspective, through the eyes of love. And truly be willing to surrender your old way of seeing it. Say thank you, and so it is.

And then let it go.

Be open throughout the next few days of new insights, and new ideas around the same situation or a softening of its energy.

If you are struggling to not keep thinking about the situation in the negative, try posing a question next time you catch yourself thinking about it in the “old” way, to interrupt the neural patterning, and re-establish your desire and openness to see it differently. Here are a few possible questions you could try:

“How might this have happened for me?”

“What might be the gift in this experience?”

“What if this had a higher purpose than the one I have assigned it unconsciously? I wonder if I could see this as God/Spirit would?”

 Thank your team for helping you do this.

I wish to share this story and these options for reconnecting the situation to the light in the hopes that it helps bring someone some peace in some area where they still hold contempt, pain, or judgment around themselves or others. When we can let go of how we often SEE the “problem” it often changes the entire situation. And we can slowly begin to free ourselves from where we were holding ourselves in separation from source. As separation is anywhere where we have consciously or unconsciously cut ourselves, or someone else, away from love.

And if you are really struggling with seeing something differently or changing the energy around it… text me :) that's what sessions are for! 

Sending you all so much love through the ethers.
