“To me it is enough to wonder at the secrets.”
- Albert Einstein
“Whoever is devoid of the capacity to wonder, whoever remains unmoved, whoever cannot contemplate or know the deep shudder of the soul in enchantment, might just as well be dead for he has already closed his eyes upon life.”
- Albert Einstein
Dear Wise Women,
Last week I invited you to feel into the immense opportunity presented to us. I asked you to consider and open up to the possibility that powerful forces are aligning for there to be a major shift in human consciousness - a paradigm shift from the low vibration energy of fear to the high vibration energy of love.
With the understanding that a “new heaven’”is the emergence of a transformed state of human consciousness, and “a new earth” is its reflection in the physical realm”, I invited you to begin each day by stating the following mantra: “I’m asking for a day of heaven on earth for myself and everyone I come in contact with”, or more simply the affirmation of “I’m having a day of heaven on earth”
The realization of heaven on earth or higher dimensional living means, amongst many things, an end to extreme polarities and to a balanced embodiment of divine masculine and divine feminine in all beings. As we move towards this new vibration, we are seeing an increase in the flare-up of polarities, both in the outer world and within our inner experiences. This is to be expected - for nothing is birthed without labour pains.
The challenge is this: Can we greet each painful contraction with fierce love and openness? As we know, a mother who closes in on the pain of labour will have a very difficult delivery. And so we must ask ourselves, how can we support the birthing process, both for ourselves, each other and for mother earth herself?
I invite you to see yourself as a midwife to this great birth…to be patient, calm, resolute, focused and aware of what is needed and when. Let us answer this call and begin our work! Each week we will add another tool to our midwifery bag. Many of these tools will be familiar to you, and together, we will re-explore their power!
We begin our journey by exploring the vehicle of WONDER!
REPLACE “WHY” WITH “WONDER”
“I wonder” is infused with love, inclusion and abundance.
“Why” implies fear, exclusion and scarcity.
“I wonder” activates curiosity, non-linear thinking and healthy discernment.
“Why” activates judgement, linear thinking and limited possibilities.
“I wonder” opens the heart.
“Why” closes the heart.
When we say “I wonder what is going on?” we open up the door to new possibilities and activate a shift to higher dimensions.
When we say “Why me?” or “Why is this happening?” we close the door and lock ourselves and others into the lower dimensions of victim and victor, polarity and duality.
Use the power of wonder to transform your questions…and watch what happens!!
“Get in the habit of noticing your questions. Do you ask so that you can assess a situation or compartmentalize it (such as as good or bad)? This is using your mind (mental body) alone. Once you decode whether something is good or bad, then you are compartmentalizing. This keeps you in third dimension. In fifth dimension, nothing is either good or bad.
The questions based on “Who? When? Where? and Why?” are guaranteed to keep you in polarity. They do this by gathering information that allows you to compartmentalize the answer and solve it with your ego. Only the “What?” or “Wonder?” questions are open ended enough for you to get all the information. Understanding this guides you to ask certain kinds of questions in particular ways that don’t reflect polarity. For example, instead of asking, “Why did this happen?” or “Who did this?” or “When did this happen?” you can ask “What’s going on?”
Amazingly, when you pay attention to how you ask you may discover a whole lot more information that was just waiting to enter your consciousness! When you use your heart to decide, you are honouring both your mind and your emotions. This allows you to validate your observations and choose wisely!”
- Maureen J St. Germain, “Waking Up in 5D: A Practical Guide to Multidimensional Transformation”
CHANGE YOUR QUESTIONS AND CHANGE THE VIBRATION OF THE MOMENT
Begin to notice every time you say “Who? When? Where? and Why?”
Make it a habit to catch yourself saying these words and to pause and notice your energy and your heart in that moment - does it feel open or closed?
Notice when others use these words and notice the language that follows, become adept at spotting polarizing language and judgements. Try responding with “Yes, I wonder what is really going on?”, or “Hmmm that makes me wonder”. Then notice the shift in energy that occurs. Feel it with your heart and try your best to not analyze with your mind. Every time you do this you are upping the frequency of your heart’s vibration and transmitting this frequency to those around you.
Obviously, you and others will still need to use these words for basic logistical communication and you will spot the difference when used in this way (it will just feel neutral).
“Spirituality is a wonderment with the experience of being.”
- Adyashanti
Begin to Wonder at Absolutely Everything!
I took this photo a few days ago. Like many photos taken in the sunlight it has a patch of light in it. Years ago, I was told that these patches of light were “orbs” or messengers from the spirit world. Later on, I learned that they were simply specks of dust reflecting the light (known as backscatter in photography jargon) and I stopped feeling any excitement when they showed up in my photos.
Lately, I’ve decided not to ask “WHY” it is there here, but instead I simply “WONDER” about it. And guess what? Every time I do this an image appears within the light. I am mindful not to explain the appearance of the image away with logic. I just allow myself to feel the magic of what appears, and, in doing so, I feel a shift in my energy. It’s not about forming a new belief, it’s about opening up to the mystery. Its about being playful, curious and full of wonder… and it feels amazing!

Wonder
Have you ever gazed up at the starry sky
and felt your body disappear?
Swept up by the mystery
the magnitude
the magic.
If so, how long were you able to stay in that sensation?
Was it just for a mere moment?
Or did it feel like a millennium?
Did your mind run interference and explain away what you were seeing
and bring you “back to earth”?
Or did your heart explode into the vastness
and take you into an experience of timelessness,
to a realm where there is no “you” and no “stars”… there just is?
The first is a response to asking:
“why are there stars”?
The second is a response to asking:
“I wonder what I am seeing”?
