What Is Higher Vibration? How Would You Know It?

 I wrote this article 2011… even with the rewrite it has notions I no longer consider, it has mentions of stuff I have completely eliminated from my teaching. But it is worth reading: it probably bridges to the general public than my newer articles…
What is higher vibration?
How would you know it? How would you feel it? Why would you want it? What is this thing about?

Life: Cooking from recipes… or being a master chef…

Audio introduction by me:

I have been anguished by the inability of my clients to abide by their food list and make it fully satisfying… Result: their well being tops off at 10%, while mine is 70%.

I saw an article that suggests that following recipes is way inferior to knowing how to cook, knowing the patterns, the principles, the methods, the science and the art of preparing food. I republished that article here Cooking Jazz
Preparing food and your relationship to it is a ‘how’, not a ‘what’. And how you do anything is how you do everything, remember?
If your relationship to food, to the preparation, to cooking is in one way, we’ll find the same one way in other areas of life. So pay close attention to what is your relationship to cooking: this can be life altering.

A little bit about me: how I got my name, Ben-Shitta? Thorns and Nectar, Wisdom and Desert Tree?

A little bit about me: how I got my name, Ben-Shitta?

In 1982 I accompanied a friend of a friend to Eilat to do some snorkeling. I lived in Jerusalem at the time, and didn’t mind the long drive: who wouldn’t want to see and experience the Red Sea.

The long drive took us through the Negev, a desert, with a few trees here and there.

The trees immediately captured my heart: they were alone, they were beautiful, and they were generous in an unusual way.

Review of Gary Douglas and Access Consciousness. Scam? cult?

There are few things worse than being scammed.

Being scammed leaves you with less money, with less time, but what is worse than that is if you participate with Access Consciousness…

You’ll be left with an energetic attachment, like a spigot, through which you can be mind-controlled, and made to dance to this cult’s rhythm.

The two hemispheres of the brain and spirituality…

The scenic route of getting some teaching, and making it your own.
Making it nurturing, life affirming tree of life knowledge

I want to share a phenomenon, that, hopefully, will get clearer as I am sharing it. At the moment I can only see its visible aspect. I am almost certain it has an invisible aspect as well.

I read about three hours a day. Something that isn’t connected to my work: fiction.

But recently I have taken on a 20-day challenge: listen to 20 episodes of a Hungarian psychologist, Dr. Peter Popper, in his Mesterkurzus (master course) series, an hour long each.

Excellent, fascinating, the dude is both a psychologist, a university professor, a clinician, AND a religion expert… whatever that means.

From my correspondence: What did you do to me? Why am I feeling worse instead of better?

From my correspondence:

Sophie,

Good Morning,

I don’t know what happened with the exercise last night but I came away feeling a little drained and
though I am also an empath, the trait is not yet developed. As such It felt like my vibration went down
instead of up.

What do you make of this, and what possible for me to come to peace about this?

Thanks

The magic of self-management… Fear tends to go away

You’ve got to define what’s enough for you. And that is what you should aim for
Until you do that, you are dealing with too much freedom. To much freedom often leads to unclarity, to confusion, or inaction, where fear, ego, delusion rule.

It is smart to define that and it takes smarts to define the dance floor where you can win.
What is winning?
Winning always needs a game.

My trials and tribulations to find an alcohol-free way for you to get your remedy…

My trials and tribulations to find an alcohol-free way for you to get your remedy…

I like the taste of a little brandy in my water or in my tea. I would not want it in my coffee (I like mine with cream!) but I could probably live with it.

But I would not want my boyfriend to drink my remedy in a moment of extreme thirst for alcohol.

I don’t have a boy friend, if you are now wondering. But I did have one, and that relationship taught me a lot.

We met in 2000 and he was an alcoholic. I told him that it is unacceptable. He did the Landmark Forum and he stopped drinking cold turkey. He was doing well, no drinking, not even talking about drinking, for a whole year. Until a kindly waiter at the Japanese restaurant rewarded us with a glass of plum wine for our patronage.

It’s all in a day’s work. From celebration to hate to love

Let’s begin where it began…
I have shared one of my experiments in an early stage: healing my stomach damage and my acid reflux…

After many decades of stomach trouble, and about a decade of nasty heartburn independent of what I ate, I realized that unless I do something, it is going to kill me or I’ll wish it did.

So I asked Source and Source suggested that maybe I have the dreaded stomach bacteria…

Bacteria? I have a remedy for that.

Design Contest? Can you help?

Now that we have the Heaven on Earth Energy bundle in a bottle, we need a bottle label, about 2×4 inches. I am thinking of running a design contest for the design. But: I don’t know how to run a contest. I don’t have time for this.

So, as usual, I would resort to designing the label myself. What’s wrong with that, you ask? Nothing, really, except the reason to do so. Although I am an architect and I was a magazine publisher for 11 years, the world is better of me doing the work of the planetary ascension, not designing labels.

The other reason is: getting the word out.
