Sometimes Spirit has you in a holding pattern to allow the preparation necessary for your next evolution of consciousness, and when it is time to break through, then the Spirit does that too. Sometimes it is our challenges that break us through, as if all of the preparation energy comes to a point in time and is released into God by God.

I have had many ‘lifetimes’ this life. I have lived a very full life. I’ve had many times where I was in a holding pattern, and then experiencing the break through. I can share my own recent example of this experience, as another one of my lifetimes came to an end and a new one began.

Leading up to it, I had felt the inner urging, and outer pressure, to move to a new level of expressing. I listened to that call and was giving myself fully into the process. Energetically, the pressure was really building up. You could even see it in my body.

It felt like I was on a new race track, but driving an old sedan. My current state was not really geared towards the opportunity at hand. Yet, I drove that sedan as best I could. I continued to demonstrate that I was committed to driving on this new track.

When you are in a holding pattern, it just doesn’t feel like you can get ahead. You work, and work, and can feel like you are on a hamster wheel not going anywhere. At those times, your karma is to work, not to get ahead. In this world, for some people, that will be their karma: to work but not get “ahead”.

In the realm of consciousness and expansion, regardless of your world karma, the opportunity for inner growth is present. Internally, you can still get into holding patterns, where you work and work at something but it doesn’t seem to shift. The test is to maintain your focus and continue expanding even when it feels you are being held back. It may very well be that the Spirit is holding you back because that is the highest good given your life path and the karma you are here to work out and complete.

I was speaking to a friend recently who was really up against it. He had been working very hard to improve himself both inwardly and also his outer habits. He is doing it, but he isn’t seeing the results. I can see all of these blessings in the invisible levels for him, and they are so close to him. But there is also something keeping them just out of reach, holding it back. It appeared to me that the Spirit had him in a holding pattern, where he has to keep going until It decides he is ready.

As I mentioned, I was having this experience recently too. And as it all came to a head, I ended up for a couple days in the hospital.

When I came out, I was quite literally a different version of me. There was a whole karma that had just been lifted. That holding pattern was released, along with many internal things and karmas that I had been holding. It was like being upgraded from the sedan, to the race car.

There’s people in my life who are still getting used to the new me, and some who have been waiting for it. All of the sudden, many things have shifted in my life and opened up in very different ways. I am much more present in the work I am here to do.

It wasn’t me who did this. I don’t know how to truly release the karma like that, or to upgrade my consciousness. It did it to me and for me. What I did was demonstrate through my external action and internal letting go to the higher Light, that I was ready. When you build your Spiritual muscles, your growth cannot be denied you.

Even then, it is an action of Grace because it is so beyond the personal self’s abilities.

I’m sharing this, because some of you may feel that you are stuck in a holding pattern. Where no matter what you do, you aren’t able to quite get there. Keep your eyes on the Spirit. Keep your eyes towards the Light and know the karma you are in can be lifted just by the snap of the fingers of God. In the meantime, take heart because you are being prepared for the blessings that are yours. One of the greatest enemies to the spiritual being is discouragement. That weighs on the heart. But that weight can be lifted by the Spirit, and I want you to know there is hope. Keep enduring, and the glory will be yours.
