This is the art of facing challenges in your life in a way that allows you to get a benefit from them. So that you can practice staying in a positive state. So that every challenge that comes up in your life can add to your understanding of how you are creating your reality. so that you get the effect and the understanding and the experience of transforming challenge after challenge after challenge in positive, constructive and creative ways.
So the art of the challenge is in facing challenges in four particular ways. We call this the four C’s. First and foremost, it is important and imperative when a challenge comes up in your life to remain calm. Do not panic. No matter how big the challenge may seem, no matter how unexpected the challenge may seem, remain calm. Stay in that positive or at the very least neutral state that will allow you the opportunity to apply the remaining C’s to the challenge.
Calmness is first and foremost. Remaining calm allows you to know that no matter what the challenge is, you will be able to get a benefit from it. Approaching it that way will allow you to take advantage of the remaining C’s that we will now deliver. After you approach a challenge with calmness, just observe it neutrally. No negative emotional reactions to it. If they come up, examine your definitions. Examine your beliefs and find out why you would be reacting negatively to the challenge. Allow yourself to understand that it’s not necessary to react negatively to it, but to remain neutral, to remain calm, not assuming that there’s built-in meaning to it. Just let it be what it is. Just look at it as a neutral prop, a neutral circumstance, a set of opportunities for you to use to learn lessons in life to expand your soul and to allow yourself to learn how to approach creating your life in a positive way, in a more conscious way, a more conscious approach, more awareness within you. So remain calm when any challenge arises in your life.
Next, based on that calmness, based on your ability to monitor your reactions and investigate yourself should you react negatively and to let go of the belief systems that allowed you to react negatively. After having done that process, approach now from calmness to confidence. This is the second C. Approach the challenge with the confidence, the assurance that you understand the principle that every situation is an opportunity, that everything can serve double duty, negative or positive and therefore this will allow you to let the challenge remain neutral so that you do not give it automatic meaning. The idea therefore is to approach it with the confidence that you will be capable by remaining calm of extracting a benefit extracting a lesson that will help your soul grow that will help you move forward in life. So remaining confident that you can utilize the challenge in this way to your advantage will allow you to transform this challenge and include everything that’s important in your life. Be it the idea of opportunities, be it the idea of friends and family. Allow yourself to know that you can be confident that as you move forward, anything that is truly representative of your passion will be included in facing this challenge and give you the opportunity to create an outcome that will benefit you and everything that’s important to you.
So after approaching it with calmness, after approaching it with confidence, the third C is approach the challenge with curiosity. Be like the child that looks at everything with curiosity as if seeing it for the first time and looking at it as if it is a present hiding some treasure, some amazing benefit you have yet to discover. Ask yourself the question when the challenge arises after you are calm and confident. What lesson am I going to learn from this challenge? What opportunity does it present to me to expand my life in positive and creative ways? What is it going to bring to me as a surprise? What gift does it have for me that I am now going to unwrap and be delighted by? Approach it with curiosity to find out what is it in this challenge that you have laid out on your life path that is going to bring you a new understanding, a more expanded awareness, more expanded capability to move forward in your life in a creative, joyful, loving way where you will receive a benefit from it that will expand your soul. which after all is the reason that you chose to have a physical reality experience. So treat it every challenge that arises even if it arises absolutely unexpectedly and perhaps especially if it arises unexpectedly as a present as a surprise that contains a treasure for you. information, knowledge, abilities, opportunities that you will find that will allow you to move forward in a creative and imaginative way and beneficial way in your life. Not only for you, but all of those around you that are important in your life as well.
After you have approached the challenge with calmness, with confidence, with curiosity, the fourth C is creativity. Now is the time for you to really allow your imagination the opportunity to look at, to examine what the challenge is, to really look at all the components of the challenge in the most creative way you possibly can.
Many times opportunities will present themselves not necessarily immediately with an answer or an immediate understanding, but with the opportunity to use your imagination and use your creativity to create the path that works for you. If one doesn’t already exist, if synchronicity doesn’t bring you something that already exists in your society, that is a path that would work for you in facing this challenge.
Then here with your creativity, the fourth C is your opportunity to use that imagination to create a path by allowing yourself to remain calm, remain confident, remain curious and use that creative inspirational imagination that will open up within you.
If you do the first three Cs, then synchronicity and your guides, your angelic team, your soul family will be far more capable of bringing you information that will outline through inspiration, through dreams, through imagination one way or another. A path that may not exist in your society yet, but will be a path that is unique to you that will allow you to face the challenge in a way that works for you specifically.
Because every single challenge, no matter what it is, there is always a way that works for you to work through the process, to work through the challenge, to get the benefit from it. You never have to do it in a way that works for someone else. If something similar to the way someone else faces their challenges works for you, that is fine. You can be inspired by them to do something similar.
But you’re always going to change it in some way, shape or form, a little bit or a lot, because you are different. You are unique. And there will always be some adjustment that will be made to make the way in which you are facing the challenge, the way in which you are processing the challenge, the way in which you are getting benefit out of the challenge unique to you, your way of doing it.
There is always a path for you that is specific to you. But you have to allow yourself to remain calm, confident, and curious and approach every challenge with creativity and imagination and inspiration and examine it.
Really look at it. Why it’s there, why you needed this on your life path. What are you going to get out of it? What are you going to learn? What’s the lesson here? What’s the benefit that you can extract from this challenge? Look at it from all different angles. Look at it from different perspectives.
Use your imagination. What if it could be like this or that? What is it putting you in touch with that you hadn’t thought of before? What ideas are popping up in your mind that you had not conceived of before?
By using these four C’s of calm, confidence, curiosity, and creativity, you allow yourself to be in a state that allows your guides, your soul family, your angelic team to be more capable of reaching you through synchronicity, through messages, through dreams, to give you the information and understanding that you need to continue to face the challenge in your life in a positive beneficial way to extract an advantage from it.
If you have to write down in a journal all the ideas of what the challenge is, all the ways in which you can describe and define it, all the ways in which you could approach it. Do so. In keeping a journal, you can keep track of all the challenges that come up in your life and all of the ways in which you have transformed them and gotten the lesson from them and turned them into some advantage in your life that moved you forward.
And this can create what you call a track record for you. So that will help you build your confidence, help you remain calm, help you explore your creativity with curiosity. So writing it down, seeing it with your own eyes, seeing the progress you are making through your life in facing all the challenges that come up can be a very beneficial tool for you.
So take advantage of all the ways in which you can keep track of and remember how you transformed every challenge in your life into something beneficial and a lesson that will expand your soul and allow you to move forward and express your passion in life following the formula in the best possible way that works uniquely for the unique individual that you are. The unique reflection of all that is that you are.
So stay calm, be confident, be curious, be creative. This is how to face every challenge that you laid out on your life path. You put them there for a reason. And the reason is they will help you grow. They will help you understand how to become more aware, more conscious of the fact that you are creating your physical reality experience. That it is a projection of your consciousness for your own purposes and that it helps you with the understanding more deeply that life does not happen to you. It happens through you because you set up this path. You laid out the blueprint.
So face it with the four C’s and you will find that every challenge that comes up will be an adventure and you will not be able to wait for the next adventure to rise to face it with the four C’s and to extract the benefits from it that will help you move forward in an accelerated way and expand the scope of how many expressions of your passion you will be capable of undertaking in your life and who will be impacted by the gifts you have to share.
Questions
C5 Group
I in Boulder, Colorado where our local C5 group made contact this weekend. We were flashed by someone or other and we’re curious uh as to who that was. So what we saw were some flashes of light that directed our gaze to a specific area of the sky.
Then what I saw was an opening in the sky the shape of a large rectangular door. It was all light and light seemed to be pouring through it. Um, it only lasted a split second, but it was unmistakable. It was full of energy. It felt like a really intense download and we were all super super excited. And uh yeah, we’re curious if you’d be willing to discuss this with us or give us some hints or clues as to whom we were seeing. Thank you. I love you. AO.
That is because you are highly empathic and it’s easy for you to pick up on the vibrations of other people’s belief systems. You have to understand, however, how this actually mechanically works.
They cannot affect you directly. It is only your awareness of your sensitivity, your empathic sensitivity that allows you to alter your own energy, your own frequency to mirror and match the frequencies that you are picking up from the different belief systems in the group.
You can handle it when you are dealing with fewer people, but when you are allowing yourself to experience the frequencies of so many different beliefs all at once because of your sensitivity as an empath, you are finding it hard to remember that you are the one adjusting your own energy and feeling your own energy, attempting to match and mirror all the different belief systems that you’re picking up on with your senses in a group.
You are a unique individual and you get to decide what it is you will mirror and what it is you will match. And we would suggest that you practice by starting with fewer people and then building up to more and more people if necessary by allowing yourself to practice and remembering that you are the one that is deciding because of your empathic sensitivity to match the frequency that is coming off of other people vibrationally.
And as you remember that it’s your energy that you’re feeling, not actually literally directly their energy, but your energy that is matching their frequency, then you can calm yourself, center yourself, gain control of that understanding and say, “All right, what frequency do I prefer? What is the frequency I prefer to experience here? I do not necessarily automatically have to match someone else’s frequency or at least not to the degree that makes me uncomfortable, but only to the degree that I need to to perhaps be of assistance to them by gaining an understanding of where they’re at on their frequency.”
But if you approach it with the idea of assisting them and not succumbing to them, then you can practice by adding more and more people because it will now be through the intention of only picking up enough of their vibration to be able to understand and assist with what they’re going through if necessary. And it won’t be to the degree that allows you to feel uncomfortable with your own energy.
So you can regulate the amount of mirroring, the amount of matching that you are doing empathically with others just to the point where you know enough about their frequency to help them should the occasion appropriately arise for you to do so.
Monologue
Only what is coming up as a reminder of allowing you to face all challenges, all moments of the experience of difficulty as the challenges you need to face with calmness, confidence, curiosity, and creativity. And by facing them that way, you will always be able to extract the lesson that will help you grow. Explore the belief systems that can move you forward and the ones that hold you back. Learn who you really are. Be more of who you really are, and experience life as a flow that always brings you more opportunities.
Challenges are opportunities to expand, to grow, to discover and to know yourself more fully. So at this point, please relax as we continue the idea of facing challenges in an artful way. We would like to now allow you to prepare yourselves to relax. Breathe easily and deeply. Let go of the cares of the day. Be in a comfortable position. Breathe in. Breathe out.
Allow yourself to now choose anything in your life that you are interacting with at present that you believe is an example of a challenge that you are facing. It can be anything right now. It doesn’t have to be the biggest thing. This is just a way to practice dealing with a challenge so that you can apply what you are learning here to any challenge that may come up.
So for now, imagine a challenge that is in your life. Stand before it as if it presents itself literally to you as a series of circumstances that you can actually perceive physically outside your body. It can be representative of energy. It can be represented by symbols. It can be represented by pictures of the situation or the elements of the situation. However it is your imagination wants to perceive the idea of the challenge coming to you in your life.
For right now stand and perceive it as if it is actually facing you as a representation of the challenge—almost like it’s an entity unto itself—presenting you with an opportunity. So as this challenge stands before you in whatever form you imagine it to be, in whatever way it is symbolized and in whatever way you want to represent it, allow yourself to feel the calmness. The calmness. The neutrality.
It is something that you’re just going to look at. It is something that you’re just observing, looking at all the elements of it, all the symbols of it. However you’ve represented it, whether it presents itself as literally a single entity or a multitude of images, it doesn’t matter. Whether it’s made of light, whether it’s made of substance, it doesn’t matter. Whatever represents the challenge to you, you’re observing it neutrally. It’s just a neutral idea, a neutral set of circumstances, a neutral arrangement of conditions.
Allow yourself to just look at it. Just be calm and look at it. It’s not going to come any closer. It’s going to stay right where it is. You’re breathing. You’re there. You’re facing it. You’re just looking at it, looking at all the elements. If you need to write them down in the moment, see yourself writing them down, typing them out, jotting them down, however you want to do it.
And as you continue to observe, investigate, pay attention to the nuances, all the little bits and pieces of it, its nature, its size, its shape, its color, its form—whatever it is that represents this challenge to you, whatever the elements of it are in your life—allow yourself to feel confident. The confidence of knowing: “I laid this out on my life path from spirit. I must have known what I was doing. I must have done it for a positive reason.”
“I must have done it because from spirit I knew that this challenge would be exactly what I would need in order to expand, to learn a lesson, to grow, to become more and more and more of what I can potentially become, to evolve and to experience this in a beneficial way. To add to my experience of myself, to allow me to fulfill myself, to know myself more fully, to be myself more fully.”
“I put this on my life path, and I knew what I was doing, and I still know what I’m doing. Therefore, I have the confidence as a physical being that I have as a spirit being—knowing that this was designed by me so that I would face it in a way that would allow me to feel the expansion and ecstasy of my true vibrational self. So, I’m confident that it’s going to serve me as I originally intended it to do.”
And now I’m going to look at all the elements, however it presents itself, with that childlike curiosity. “Oh, let me now remember why this is here. Why is it presenting itself this way? What is the lesson I’m going to learn?” I am so curious to find out how this is going to serve me. I’m so excited because I’m receiving this like a gift to myself, a present to unwrap, to find a treasure within that’s going to aid and assist me and allow me to be more of who I say I prefer to be.
It’s going to allow me to feel that ecstasy, that excitement of discovery and transformation. It’s going to allow me to feel my sense of self-empowerment in transforming this challenge. It’s going to allow me to do this because that’s what it’s designed to do. So, I cannot wait to open this present. I cannot wait to see what lies within. I do not have to be afraid of the unknown.
I’m so curious because I know that whether it seems like an unknown right now or not, it can only be something that gives me more of myself, that reveals more of myself to me. That’s all I’m ever going to discover in any challenge is more of who I truly are. And that’s exciting because then I will be more of what I am—a greater being, more capable of creating my physical reality experience in the way that I prefer to.
This is my opportunity to master the art of the challenge. And in mastering the art of facing challenges, I will use my creativity, my imagination, for this challenge presents itself in a way that allows me to determine what path, what way, what method works best for me in facing this challenge, in transforming this challenge.
Maybe there is some path that already exists that I can adapt. Maybe this challenge is for me to be so imaginative and so creative and so inspired that I will create a new path no one has ever taken before. That’s exciting. I will invent something new that works for me because the universe is a designer universe and every path that works for me is designed for me and no one else. No matter how similar what I do may be to what someone else does, it’s not the same because I am unique. They are unique. We are all unique.
And therefore the path I will take here in facing this challenge will be unique to me. And I am excited to discover what that is. I’m excited to apply all the knowledge I have learned, all the techniques, tools, disciplines, ideas, permission slips I have learned and apply them here with imagination and creativity—opening up to the probabilities and possibilities of what facing this challenge is going to do to my life, to me, to allow me to expand and be a master of facing challenges so that they get easier and easier and easier and more fun and more fun and more fun, more expansive, more expansive and more expansive as I go along.
I determine how I’m going to face all the challenges that I laid out for myself on my life path. I am the artist that created this path. Therefore, I am the artist who will face these challenges in an artistic, imaginative, and creative way with curiosity, confidence, and calmness, because that is how I’m going to extract a benefit from all the things that I call a challenge until the challenges become something I look forward to because I know that life would be dull without them. Life would be boring without them.
Yes, there can be vacation lives, but that’s still a challenge because you are still having fun. And it’s fun to be on vacation and face the challenges of what to do next. What fun am I going to have today? So, it doesn’t matter whether it seems like a vacation, whether the challenges seem like they’re getting easier and easier and easier, or whether they’re getting bigger and bigger and bigger. It doesn’t matter. You face it all with calmness, confidence, curiosity, and creativity. All of it.
And it will unfold before you and reveal within the treasure that is there for you. Everyone has a treasure to discover in life. Everyone. No one is left out. If you face your challenges with the four seas that we have described, you will always discover the treasure that will enrich you and allow you to have more appreciation and gratitude for being, for existing, for experiencing the unconditional support and love of all that is in allowing you the opportunity to decide how to face all the challenges that you were given the opportunity to lay out on your life path.
You are here by choice. Choose what works for you. You will be supported unconditionally in the choices you decide are true for you. So face those challenges with the four C’s: calmly, confidently, curiously, and creatively. And you will reap the rewards and advantages that will allow you to become a master of facing challenges so that others may also learn from you as a living example.
That challenges are the point of why you chose to be physical, because you knew they were going to help you become more aware of what you are and more able to express that in all the ways that you uniquely can. Keep breathing. Face every challenge this way.
Again, write them down if you wish so that you have a track record of each challenge and what you’ve done and what you’ve gained. And that will help you in future challenges because you can look back and say, “This is what I did here. I mastered that. I mastered that.” I’m not saying that you get egotistical about it. But it builds your calmness. It builds your confidence. It builds your curiosity. And it builds your creativity for what it is you’re going to experience in the next challenge and how you’re going to face it and how you are going to learn the art of mastering challenges.
Keep breathing, absorb it, make it your own. And by all means, have fun. You are entitled to. So get excited about facing the next challenge because that’s like saying you’re going to receive another gift, another present, another opportunity to expand your consciousness and that’s an exciting prospect.
