Closing your front door, extra-smart after The Shift

Unusual animal sighting this morning, Blog-Buddies.  Picture this. I’m out on my driveway about 7:30 a.m., doing my morning routine.

That would be techniques from Use Your Power of Command for Spiritual Cleansing and Protection plus The Baby (The so-far unannounced brand new book I am aiming to publish in 2014, now being edited.)

Basically, I’m outside grooving on animal, vegetable, mineral… the wonders of my new day here at Earth School. Suddenly I see a red fox amble towards a neighbor’s front door, across the street, one house over.

How do I recognize a red fox? Years ago, one hung out in my back yard for hours. Oh, I’ve seen fire and I’ve seen rain.

Well, I have definitely seen a really, really pregnant raccoon in my backyard. Plus chipmunks (not as sweet as the Disney movies might have you believe). Suburbs of Northern Virginia are like that. Rare but occasional contact with deer and such.

So there was a fast-moving fox, bold as you please, moving up to my dear neighbor’s door. GLADYS is one of my very favorite neighbors on the block.

Gave me the creeps. Incidentally, if you think that Enlightenment means that a person never again cringes or feels fear, sorrow, or anger… well you might want to tweak that fantasy just a bit.

You bet I felt fear. I turned and ran inside, so I could do the rest of my morning routine indoors. Also have a solid door between me and an extremely fast-moving fox.

With peripheral vision, I saw that fox turn around and start to run towards me. Yes, he was fast.

Protecting yourself energetically does not have to involve fear

When it comes to animals that can bite, Rose Rosetree can be a bit of a wimp. For a few seconds after moving safely indoors, I still felt fear. Yet I had still managed to do the practical thing: Move indoors and shut that big front door.

Thank God, I am not so easily frightened when it comes to emotional and spiritual healing. In that way, I have been protected in life… perhaps due to background that I know about from past-life regression, a pretty strong background in some previous incarnations that I believe helped prepare me to do the work of Rosetree Energy Spirituality.

For sure, this I know about protecting myself and helping others: I don’t do blithesome denial. I do practical. I do effective.

How? I align myself with the unbeatable combination of Divine connection; human-level, systematic skills that work; and spiritual self-authority.

Recently I have focused a lot of attention on a three-part article about Energetic Ponzi Schemes, plus helping dismantle clients from Colonizing Energetic Ponzi Schemes, also training practitioners of this form of energy spirituality. (I’m first-drafting today’s post on Saturday, November 9, 2013.) Our blog collection so far includes:

• Colonizing Energetic Ponzi Schemes after The Shift: For your protection and understanding
• A brief, evolving, history of Energetic Ponzi Schemes, Part Two in the series to help you protect yourself

In advance of this sequence, you might be interested in educating yourself with these related articles:

• What is channeling?
• The most troubling Astral-Level Ponzi Scheme yet, the Colonizing variety
• Cord of attachment from a Colonizing Energetic Ponzi Scheme

For our most practical article about Colonizing Energetic Ponzi Schemes, I told my animal story from this morning as a cautionary tale. There is plenty you can do to protect yourself from today’s Energetic Ponzi Schemes. None of this requires fear.

By now I have facilitated many sessions to cut cords of attachment to folks taken over in a Colonizing Energetic Ponzi Scheme. In fact, some of you Blog-Buddies might want to comment below at the tone with which I facilitated healing for you. So many of you felt better than you had in months, or quite a bit longer. And wasn’t it a sweet kind of healing? Nothing scary, not ghostbuster-ish, but respectful and collaborative.

If you feel like summarizing that aspect in comments, feel free.

Meanwhile my job in this concluding article of the series is to add additional strategies for energetic self-protection to supplement what was in Colonizing Energetic Ponzi Schemes after The Shift: For your protection and understanding and then in A brief, evolving, history of Energetic Ponzi Schemes, Part Two in the series to help you protect yourself. Here goes.

New Age Consumer smarts to spot an Energetic Ponzi Scheme

Pay attention to a healer or teacher’s promotional materials. If someone says, “I studied with John of God,” check out John of God’s website, too. Common sense will tell you that if someone heals people by working with spirits, this is a system for helping people that probably involves an Energetic Ponzi Scheme.

All Ponzi Schemes promise something for nothing, gaming the system, getting more than a human being might reasonably expect.

So pay attention to such promises. Also beware anyone who makes claims like these:

• All your problems will be solved instantly if you only have faith/believe/take advantage of how very super-special this healer is.
• It’s easy to solve all your problems if the healer has the right connections.
• This initiation will give you special powers.
• Everything about this healing is free.
• My healing work has improved because I am working with new energies

And, of course, run away immediately if someone says, “I am a walk-in.” Or “I merged with my favorite astral being.”

What else can rouse your New Age Consumer smarts?

If someone sends you promotional newsletters that you did not request. Hey, you might wish to unsubscribe. Maybe also report the sender as spam.

If you unsubscribe but continue to receive newsletters anyway, consider that there may be an Energetic Ponzi Scheme. (Not kidding, because this happened with at least two people who were getting spammed by Healer JOE after he was taken over by a Colonizing Energetic Ponzi Scheme.)

Other red flags that you might be dealing with an Energetic Ponzi Scheme

The following red flags are smart to notice just because wise consumers do not just blindly pledge allegiance. Say that you are in a workshop or session with a healer or teacher, say JOE.

• He talks in a way that he usually wouldn’t.
• He says he will channel wonderful new energies for you.
• He wants to do laying on of hands, which he didn’t do before.
• He offers initiations or waking up special energies or transmissions or awakening.
• Talking to him, he reacts in a defensive or blank way, unlike himself.
• Financial policies change, with a kind of greed that was not present before.
• Most important, although you know you expect and believe that you will to feel better after the encounter/workshop/teleclass etc., what happens afterwards? If you are honest with yourself, you can tell that you actually feel worse.

There still may not be anything wrong, in terms of an Energetic Ponzi Scheme. However, you have just been alerted to possible integrity problems.

So what, if there is a possible integrity problem?

That matters. In a spiritual teacher, counselor, psychotherapist, energy healer, etc. That is not like requiring pure integrity in the checkout person at your local supermarket.

Spiritual knowledge you receive from a tainted source will be tainted ethically, truth mixed in with falsehoods. Same with any healing you receive.

Personally, I would prefer to forego the knowledge or healing. In such a case, I ask God to bring me equivalent knowledge or healing that has 100% integrity.

Then I stay alert as a consumer and use my consumer smarts to evaluate any new candidate for my trust (and my business).

In the past, I would consider it enough to simply move on from a healer, teacher, or friendship that I had outgrown. Let go and keep moving forward.

Because of the emerging problem of Energetic Ponzi Schemes, now I consider it smart to protect myself further. Energetic literacy to the rescue!

Stage Three Energetic Literacy is perfect for consumer research

Develop Stage Three Energetic Literacy. Learn to read auras so you can read them at will, drilling down to the chakra databanks. Learn how to read auras from photos as well as in person.

Then you can research key chakra databanks.

And if you haven’t developed this skill at reading auras yet, you could enlist the services of folks who do. I recommend these excellent aura readers, all apprentices in the Mentoring Program for Rosetree Energy Spirituality:

Doing this kind of research yourself, remember to use a dedicated technique that will protect you energetically.

Energetic protection is built in to all the techniques in Read People Deeper and Aura Reading Through All Your Senses.  Using a different system? You would be wise to find out what kind of protection is built into those techniques, especially important before attempting to screen anyone for a possible Energetic Ponzi Scheme.

As for you empaths, it is really a good idea to have your empath skills firmly turned OFF for aura reading. Always. Do Skilled Empath Merge only when you choose to do so, using a dedicated technique.

Just three chakra databanks can be plenty to screen someone for an Energetic Ponzi Scheme:

• Root Chakra Databank for Presence in the Room
• Third Eye Chakra Databank for Connection to Psychic Guidance
• Third Eye Chakra Databank for Connection to Spiritual Source

Don’t read that person’s aura to find something weird, because that could distort what you find. Do your usual curiosity-rich exploration and then pay attention to what you learn.\

Prompting you to do proper aura reading research

What alerted me to the couple of Colonizing Energetic Ponzi Schemes that I have encountered so far?

I wasn’t reading auras. You might have heard rumors that I advocated 20 Daily Minutes of Technique Time, Tops. It’s true. I also practice what I preach.

Just because I can read auras doesn’t mean I do that, outside my official work for others during sessions, or the small number of minutes remaining in my 20 Daily Minutes of Technique Time, Tops.

As humans, we always can look at a person’s eyes. In person, or in a photo, eyes carry a lot of information.

Through the eyes, we recognize a soul, including whether we recognize that soul from other lifetimes. (Sometimes when facilitating past-life regression, I will invite my client to recognize whether a particular person during an incident just relived might be known to my client from the present lifetime.)

A quick look at the eyes tells you plenty.

With people I have seen who are deeply involved in a Colonizing Energetic Ponzi Scheme, does not look like that familiar presence, that person’s soul. Instead there has been a presence I would describe as not human, lizard-like, emotionally not really functioning, with forms of intelligence that are highly alert and specialized in non-human ways.

Not that I wish to elaborate further. That wouldn’t be really helpful.

It’s like what some folks say about great art. “I know it when I see it.” Well, Blog-Buddies, if you see non-human E.T. entities peeking out through the eyes of someone you know, you will know it.

Don’t necessarily stop there, though. Do a proper aura reading, or hire someone with really good skills to do it for you.

This business of looking through eyes is Stage One Energetic Literacy. If you are fearful, for instance, you might project fears onto that person’s face and inaccurately judge someone as being taken over when this isn’t the case. No disrespect intended. Psychological projection is a very human occurrence.

Feeling victimey about this new energetic complication to life? Don’t.

Living on earth after The Shift is a gigantic privilege, Blog-Buddies.

You signed this life contract.

You chose to be here.

Just how privileged are you? Any reader of this blog, consider:

• You are Gutenberg-literate. (i.e., You can read words.)
• You have access to a computer, and the skills to use it.
• You are affluent enough to have leisure time to cruise this blog.
• You are sophisticated enough to have somehow found my obscure little blog, this pioneering Little Engine That Could. Nowhere near the money and prestige and fame of Hay House authors and their websites. Somehow, amazingly, you found my funky little blog and website. And maybe you have found other websites, too, that speak to your truth… whether that humble, human teacher is deemed pop culture “Important” or not.
• You live on earth, a big-deal place in the Universe, in the throes of an extraordinary transformation, The Shift.

What, you got to live here for the 20-23 years leading up to The Shift? Wow!

What extraordinary evolution to have witnessed. And you probably helped, too. As with your auric modeling.

What, you aim to live here for the 20-23 years after to The Shift?

Extra wow!

!Wow backwards and forwards!

Priceless in your spiritual education, this experience. Also enviable for the potential for you to evolve spiritually. And possibly unprecedented in human history regarding your opportunities for service.

Sure, in many ways, this place is also a mess.

So what? You are tough and resilient and tender enough to take this on. You have. And you’re here.

Thank you for being a Lightworker now, someone who holds up a candle, even if you have problems or pimples or some failed worldly aspirations.

Just be incorruptible ethically, Dear Hearts. Stand in your truth, willing to be human.

Be in that group of 10%ers, that group that many of us are finding a hard time naming. Though we keep doing our best.

Your best and mine? That’s plenty, whether other people or media ever recognize us or not.

You came here to help in regular human ways. And you’re doing that just fine. Your very humanity can help to protect you.
