Above the influence... of others, Ann Albers, 29 October 2024

Hi All,

In a world that has a lot of opinions and fears flying right now it is good to remember that we can turn to a love so powerful it keeps us safe and comfy and can help us work around or through any negative influence of others. I'll share a story about the pimp at the pool and how safe I was, and as well the usual weekly tips.

Enjoy... and have a Happy Halloween!

Have a blessed & beautiful week :)
♥ Ann

My dear friends, we love you so very much,

There are those who believe as you do and those who do not, but in the depths of human hearts, you are all more alike than different. Your deepest wishes, although the forms may vary, are nearly identical in essence. ​

You all want security. You all want to feel free and in charge of your lives. You all want the opportunity to live in a way that feels purposeful and pleasing to you. You all want to feel connected to life and what you believe to be a higher power. You want to experience health, abundance, and joy in one way or another, and you are all, without exception, seeking an experience of expanding love. The qualities you desire to experience are the same. The only thing that differs is the way you wish to experience them.

The majority of conflicts in humanity arise from fear—from feeling as if there is only one way to have what you want and only if you get your way. There is a great fear that if others don't cooperate or comply, you could be robbed of your own hopes and dreams. What if someone doesn't agree with you? What if they get in your way? What if you want to sell a house but no one is interested, or you want a raise, but you are denied? What if your candidate does not get elected? What if a loved one leaves the planet?

How on earth can you experience what you desire when it appears that so many of your desires rely on the cooperation of others?

We have heard these and similar questions throughout the ages. They are legitimate questions and very understandable when you look at the world through the lens of material, 3D reality. In the material sense, an uncooperative person can indeed stand in the way of your hopes and dreams, but in the energetic paradigm, dear ones, the river of love can flow around any and all who create such "obstacles" to your wishes. The Divine can help you to create change and connect you with those who naturally and easily fit your life and your dreams.

Suppose you want a specific job, but the person who interviews you prefers someone else. You may feel slighted. You may feel you were not given a fair chance. You may be right.  However, from our perspective, that job is not a perfect fit for you. You want to work in an environment that wants you.

Suppose you did get the job and love it, but two years later, a difficult coworker is hired. You might feel that this person has ruined your perfect job. Nonetheless, if you are willing to stay in your own vibration, remove attention from unwanted behaviors, and focus on how you want to feel, the situation will inevitably shift. An unpleasant person will not stay long in pleasant and happy energy if they can't get a reaction. You may be guided to leave, or they may decide to leave. You may be laid off only to enjoy some downtime and then connect with an even better job. The situation may simply dissipate.

Even the difficult people who present so-called obstacles in your path, in retrospect, can be seen as the catalysts that help you move forward into a better future.

Suppose you love one political candidate, and someone else gets in office. For many of you facing your elections, this will be a reality. Two can't sit in the same chair! However, dear ones, does that mean that you will suffer because of someone else's action? Only you can decide that. Can you pray for the one sitting in the chair to have the love of God rise from within and to make wise decisions? Instead of fearing someone else's influence, you can focus on the qualities you wish to live and enjoy in your own life.

Trust that God is still God and no matter who appears to be in charge, God can find ways to care for your heart, that feel wonderful to you.

Even in countries torn by war, there are those still living amazing lives. You have the power to align with the Divine or not dear friends, and aligned with God, you give the Creator—the ultimate lover of life itself, the parent of all Creation, the Being that wants you to live a life that feels loving to you—the power to help you live your life in a way that is pleasing, supportive, and in harmony with the ones around you.

You will all find great relief as you release your need for others to behave as you wish and instead focus on how you want to feel in your life. Look at what is pleasing to you and empower it with your attention. Pray for all beings to know God's love. If someone is upsetting to you, imagine the light of love pouring towards them, but also into yourself.

Dear ones, you are One. It is hard to imagine that you are part of the same field of love as those you adore and those you despise. They are waves in the Ocean of Love, just as you are. Some you want to dance with, and some you don't, and that is fine, but remember always that deep within you, there lives a light that connects all things and all beings.

This Presence wants you and all to have the experiences you wish for. If you are refused one opportunity, assume a better one is coming. If one person rejects you, they are redirecting you to those who will love you more. If the person in office has policies you don't like, make it your policy to labor in love and adhere to your own values in your own life and your own circles so as to experience the quality of life you desire.

You did not come to earth seeking sameness. You did not come to earth intending to rely on the agreement of others to feel the love and security of the Divine. You came, dear ones, eager for the buffet of life itself, for it is in looking at the differences that you discern your truth and your desires and then have the opportunity to align with them in your own life.

Fear not, dear friends. God is with you. Whether you agree with someone or not, the Divine agrees that you all deserve to live a life you love, a life of security, happiness, health, and joy. Relax into that. Breathe. The power that creates universes is there for you always. We, your angels, are one with that and love you so much. Relax in our arms as well. In that love, there is nothing to fear.

God Bless You! We love you so very much.

Message from Ann...

Hi Everyone,

People ask me all the time if the angels will tell me who will win the election, and they lovingly answer, "No." They do not want to interfere with what is ours to decide. They don't want anyone to feel "fated" to a certain path but rather to participate in its creation. And they are not in the slightest way concerned about the fears flying around about our "potential demise, the unraveling of a country, or the fickle economy." They live in a love that is so profound that they know anything can be resolved to the benefit of all.

That love is available to us all, We don't have to die to feel it, but we do have to take time, in whatever way works best for each of us, to connect with it on a regular basis. In connection to love, the behavior of others looks like the behavior of others rather than a threat to our well-being.

Years ago, when I was much younger, I was standing by the dolphin tank at Sea World after a glorious day of fun and sun when I was approached by an attractive and very large man in an expensive suit. He wore gold chains, an expensive watch, and a smug grin. I was in such a great space I got my guidance instantly. He's a pimp, and he wants to abduct you and sell you into prostitution. "Lovely," I thought. "This should be fun." I was too happy from my great day to feel fear. The angels were all around.

"Here it comes," I thought as he approached confidently. "Are you alone?" he asked. "I could never be alone," I replied. I didn't look at him. "I don't see anyone," he insisted. "You wouldn't," I said, focusing on the beautiful day and the peaceful animals.  He changed tactics. "I could come back to your hotel room and give you a massage." "Seriously?" I thought to myself. "No thanks," I replied. "Why not?" he asked. 

I was getting tired of his nonsense, so I let my eyes glaze over and went inward. I focused on my favorite dolphin, who was basking in the water on the other side of the tank. I sent him a telepathic message about how fun it would be to come over and soak this man with salt water. I pictured it, pictured my laughter, and felt the joy of this particular dolphin who loved to splash tourists. The dolphin started to swim our way.

I interrupted the man's chatter. "You probably should get going." I smiled sweetly. "What?" He looked at me incredulously. "You better run," I repeated. The dolphin was halfway across the tank by now. "Why?" he was a little irritated at this point. "See that dolphin," I said calmly. "He is going to come splash you and get saltwater all over that expensive suit, and I'm pretty sure it won't wash well. You might want to go now."  "No way," he was laughing, making fun of my comment but also nervously watching the dolphin, who was now swimming his way like a missile aiming for a target. 

The man was so dumbfounded that he froze when the dolphin stopped right in front of him, turned upside down, and repeatedly lobbed buckets of water that he almost ruined his suit. Luckily, he ran right before the last tidal wave of dolphin joy drenched the spot where he'd been standing. I went to comfort another younger woman he had attempted to con, and we left the park together for safety's sake. I could feel the angels' love all around.  Instead of fearing what could have happened, I prayed for the light to burn off his demons and went to sleep listening to the waves on the beach. Love is and was and always will be the higher power.

Here are a few pointers to help you go back to the Divine when you fear that someone else's behaviors or choices can negatively impact you...

1.  Remember you have choice

When someone steals your money, runs into your car, makes policies you don't like, or dies, it does not feel as if you have a lot of choice at that moment. And in the 3D sense you don't. The money is gone. The car has a dent. You have to abide by policies you don't like. your dear one is nonphysical.

However, we always have vibrational choice. We can let a person or situation drag us down or we can allow ourselves our human feelings and then get back into alignment with love as soon as possible.

The money is gone. What next? The universe is abundant. The Divine can help you regain that and more if you focus on what is abundant.

The car has a dent. What next? Maybe you'll find yourself having a wonderful experience waiting for the fix. Maybe the kindness of friends will be soothing comfort. Maybe you'll be off the road and avoid an accident.

The policies make your life harder...temporarily. Give it to God. Focus on feeling what you really want—peace, prosperity, freedom... and in those vibrations the divine will find a way to deliver.

Someone you love is gone, physically. You will grieve but eventually you will also feel the glorious connection at a much deeper level—one step, one day at a time.

We can absolutely be affected by others' choices and often are, but the better a vibration we're in, the less we are negatively impacted, or the less time we spend being derailed by these challenges.

2. Focus Forward

If someone has or is doing something you don't like, focus forward. Ask yourself what love would say or do. Put your energy beyond the problem How would it feel to feel peace. How would it feel to be connected to your dear one in spirit again? How would it feel to know you have enough money to deal with a new expense. The more you can tune into those good feelings, the faster you'll allow that reality to flow in your life.

Focusing on what people did said, or how they treated you—if it doesnt make you happy—just keeps you stuck under the influence of their actions.

3. Make bad behavior irrelevant

Most people who behave badly in your present are acting out their own pain and it has little to do with you. It might be aimed at you, but after looking into thousands of human hearts over the past decades, I know that happy people want to help others be happy while hurting people want to share their pain.

So when someone is acting unkindly or irresponsibly, remind yourself, "This has nothing to do with me." Even if a person is telling you why they're angry at you, they could communicate kindly. Their anger is theirs, not yours, and is their responsibility.

Let bad behavior be irrelevant in your life. It is not a statement of your goodness or worth. It is an outpouring of their pain.

Either don't dignify it with a response, or respond with kindness. Or walk away and give it all to higher power to resolve.

As we approach this very polarized election, remember my little story about the pimp at the pool and the friendly dolphin, and rest assured that whether or not you like who gets elected, the Divine's amazing grace has amazing ways of keeping you safe, secure, abundant, and happy as long as you're willing to abide in the loving vibration to receive it.

If you like the winning candidate, pray for them. If not, pray for them. Love is the power that creates worlds, transforms hearts, and allows you to be in the world but not of it.

May the light of love rise up in all human hearts, whether we agree with them or not. May all beings know peace, joy, and love.

Have a blessed week,
Love,
Ann
