The Ultimate Challenge
Here is an interesting question: Who are you within the parameters of an intimate relationship? Do you understand this question? I’m not always as clear as I would like to be, so I want to make sure that everyone is on the same page here. The question speaks not necessarily to whom you are now, but who you will become when you engage in an emotionally dynamic relationship with an intimate, relational partner. In other words, if you are like most people, then you will begin to transform and morph your behavior once you enter into ‘the relationship’.
Have you noticed it?
More and more single people around these days, right? Some might say more and more lonely people. However it is my belief that there are more and more courageous people these days who dare to become emotionally independent, and who dare to dream of self actualization. Sure, you might argue that self actualization is something that could or perhaps, should, be able to be pursued no matter what your relational status is. However, I argue that for most people this is a state of being that must be pursued in relative emotional isolation. Most people who say otherwise are most likely fooling themselves. Conversely, you could argue that self actualization can not happen without a significant other to be your ‘mirror’ and show you yourself, fully as it were.
There are exceptions to this however, a few here, a few there. Some folks can actualize themselves and tackle the responsibilities of being a conscious partner at the same time. However, these individuals are few and far between. Most people are constantly in an unconscious state of seeking love and validation and thus, the person or people who choose to be single, are often in recognition of the emotionally addictive nature of relationships and are in the process of trying to wean themselves off of this drug.
I can hear you out there
Proponents of the argument for a loving relationship are very vocal when it comes to this philosophy. They say, ‘But you need to love and be loved to be whole’ or ‘it’s my right to want someone to love’ or ‘you cannot evolve without someone to show you who you are.’ I’ve heard it all, truly. Everyone has their own individual path to enlightenment and will take that path. No two paths will ever look the same, but I will tell you this: most people are more likely to undergo conscious evolution outside of a relationship than inside of one. You can argue all you want with me, but that is the truth. Most of the fully illumined conscious seekers have taken some years outside of and away from the confines of ‘the relationship’ in order to actualize themselves to the point where they feel emotionally independent and evolved.
Here is the question
What happens if, you find someone, but you are still in the process of evolving and working on yourself? What happens if you are a conscious seeker who is working to integrate your emotional body (arguably the only aspect that really needs to be integrated) and then this other person pops up in your life? What if they are also a conscious seeking, spiritual being like yourself? How do you negotiate this new terrain?
Maintaining consciousness
In the pursuit of consciousness one finds that the trick is not really pursuing it, but rather maintaining it. Thus, the pursuit of consciousness becomes the maintenance of consciousness from moment to moment. As a very good friend of mine says, “How about now?” and “How about now?” If you understand what this means then you understand that my meaning is that the pursuit of consciousness is being with how you feel in every moment. How do you feel in this moment? If you are able to be emotionally honest and in touch with how you feel then you may notice, of a sudden, that in this particular moment you are feeling less than integrated; then you can allow this feeling to surface for integration. This is the ultimate pursuit of consciousness.
So now, engaging in this type of interaction with a significant other? With someone who will become your mirror and most likely trigger you in big and small ways? The maintenance of consciousness has never been so challenged as in the arena of intimacy. Here is the testing and proving ground of any would be conscious seeker and experienced integrationist. Here is where you will get to find out how conscious you really are. Are you willing to allow to come up, be with, and ultimately integrate whatever feeling comes your way? This is the test that many are stepping up to the plate during these extreme times to come face to face with. This is your test, this is your challenge. Be who you want to be with by integrating your mirror.

It was very brave and giving of Sunny to share her most personal experiences and feelings with the world. The book was engrossing and spellbinding and I could not put it down. It was like coming home to a knowledge I had long since forgotten. It is a step by step process to improve and/or save your own life. Thank you Sunny for sharing this wonderful book with us!
I am almost finished with the book. Sunny, what a wonderful outpouring of who you are “naked” , your life and your family. It is not often that a human is willing and open to “baring” their life for the benefit of others. You are such an AMAZING spirit.
I am really enjoying your book! It is beautifully written and I have felt a sense of oneness for instance that ‘there is someone else out there that has been through this, which will be awesome for the readers that don’t know you. There is something about your book that gives me a special feeling when I read it, maybe because I sense your intentions as you were writing each part.
I just want to thank you for this opportunity!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I read until midnight last night just going “Yes!!! Exactly!!!” and then taking in the info that I can use now by calling on Michael etc… and I’m not even done with the book yet:)
This book would be a GREAT book to have a book study club and work together as a class?
Truly enjoying the book. Finding it soooo helpful and informative. Love the format. It also helped me understand the change in direction of my own book. Very interesting how this all happens!
Well my dear, as I read I realize that I have been the one trying to manage other relationships. I know you know all of this but reading your story makes things fall into place more for me.
Ok well my dear … I just did the exercise about each weekday and then writing the color next to it. First thing that hit me was I picked green for Wednesday. I do healing ceremonies every (well as often as I can) Wednesday! Wheee … this is just SO cool.
On page 36 and must say LOVE IT, LOVE IT, LOVE IT. It sooooooooooooooooo speaks to the heart. You are so amazing.
READ: Conversations with a Guru: One job to do

So I asked him, “Oh guru, what is the difference between ‘personality’ and ‘ego’?”
He replied, “None.”
I then asked him, “Well then, if I completely diminish my ego, who will I become?”
His response was, “Why would you want to do that?”
“But, oh guru, is not our duty to extinguish or diminish our own egos to the best of our ability during an incarnation?”
“My son, your duty is to be love, nothing more, nothing less. Everything else is just a pretend game; you are pretending not to be love, that which you are. Run, play, create, have fun, and be love! You do not need to diminish any part of yourself in order to do this; you only need to have the courage to be who you truly are.”
“But guru, surely we are supposed to be doing something? Surely we have duties and obligations to our fellow man?”
The guru looked me in the eye and said, “Indeed, my son, you do. I will repeat your duty, your only duty; be love. You do not need to give someone money, or clothing, or shelter, in order for you to be love. You only need to wake up in the morning and smile and be glad. That is your only duty my son. All else is illusion.”
I was in total disbelief, shock, and denial. I stuttered, “But guru, oh guru, there is so much suffering in the world? Is it not our job to end suffering?”
“You can never end another’s suffering my son, nor is that your job. You cannot tell another what to do, you cannot coerce another to do it, and you cannot convince another to do it. Their suffering is not your business. You only have one business, to be love. End your own suffering and you shall have planted the seed to end their suffering. In doing this you will have made the biggest contribution to end the suffering of the earth.”
“But, guru, I am not suffering. I only suffer when I think of other’s suffering. This is not my own suffering, I do not suffer.”
The guru shook his head thoughtfully, “My son, if you have no suffering within you, then you will never suffer. Another way of saying this is that when you are love, no one elses suffering will cause you to suffer. Another way to say this is that you are not being love and when you are not being love you are in a continual state of suffering. If another person’s suffering causes you suffering it is simply because they are making you aware that you are not being love. No one else can create your suffering; they can only show you that you have suffering within you, which is another way of saying that you are not being love.”
“So, if I see that someone else is suffering then that means that I am suffering…?”
“If it causes you to suffer, then you are simply seeing your own wounded, suffering self within them. And of course it also means that you are not being love. If, in that moment, you were able to be love, you would see their suffering diminish and eventually dissolve, right before your eyes.”
“I see. But, oh guru, I have another question? What if I want to have a really nice car and a really big house?”
“What if you do?”
“Should I strive to get these things? Or, am I being egotistical and self centered in my desires?”
“Do these things bring you joy?”
“Well, yes, they do!”
“Then you should have them.”
“But, is it not greedy for me to want them when there are others in the world who do not have enough food and water and shelter?”
“Can you end their suffering?”
“Well, maybe if I used the money that I make to send food and supplies instead of get my house and fancy car, I can make a contribution.”
“Would that make you happy?”
“Well, I would feel better knowing that.”
“Would you?”
“Well, I wouldn’t feel so guilty at least.”
“So, you would give up the things that bring you joy out of your guilt then?”
“Uh, yes I guess I would.”
“Would this end the suffering of the world?”
“Well, if everyone did this then it might end all the suffering.”
“So, my son, you are saying that if everyone gave up the things that brought them joy it would end all the suffering of the world?”
“Well, no, I didn’t mean it that way. I meant that if everyone made sacrifices that the world could be a better place, maybe.”
“What kind of sacrifices would be enough to end all suffering?”
“The kind that got enough money and resources to the people who needed them, of course.”
“Really? And how has this worked out in the past when it was tried?”
“I do not understand oh guru, can you explain it to me?”
“My son, what happens to a person or a people when you begin to supply things for them which they have not been able to provide for themselves?”
“You are implying that this is a bad thing?”
“I imply nothing my son; I simply ask you what happens to people when you supply them with things that they are unable to supply themselves with?”
“Well, I think that they begin to feel loved and cared for.”
“Do they? Or, do they begin to seek the love and care that they need from an outside source instead of realizing that they have everything they need within themselves?”
“Well, I don’t think it’s either/or oh guru. I think this is a both/and.”
“My son everything in the Universe is made of consciousness, yes?”
“Yes, oh guru.”
“So then, is there an end to consciousness?”
“Well, of course not oh guru, there is no end to that which has no limit. This was your first teaching to me and I knew it to be true when you first spoke it.”
“So then, if everything in the Universe is consciousness, and consciousness is limitless, then who decides who gets more consciousness and who gets less?”
“Well, I do not understand guru. What does this have to do with clothing and shelter?”
“My son, clothing and shelter are simply manifestations of consciousness. But, more importantly, they are manifestations of specific types of consciousness which are unique to each individual soul incarnating on the earth. Each soul will manifest their life in whatever way they choose. And, it all centers around one thing, one undeniable concept. That, my son, is love. How much love will you allow yourself to be?”
“Wait a second oh guru, are you telling me that people who have no food, clothing, or shelter are not allowing themselves to be love?”
“My son, I am saying exactly that.”
“But, oh guru, is it still not our job to show our love by giving to those who are in need?”
“My son, only if it brings you immense joy to do so. In other words, if you are being love, then all action that you take is divine right action. However, if you are being less than love, then you are still living an illusion. It all comes back to that my boy. Be love, let the world figure itself out, this is not your job.”

READ: I’m not Angry, am I?
October 15, 2011 by Gina
Filed under •-Headline, Angels, Books, Forgiveness, Intuition, Personal Growth, Spirituality
In my intuitive reading business, Angel Works, I encounter many people who struggle with anger and related issues. Mostly, they struggle with realizing they are angry in the first place. I guess it’s because anger traditionally has such a bad reputation; I mean only vengeful, awful and terribly mean people who cannot be the least bit happy are truly angry right? Assumptions about anger can be almost as harmful as the toxic and negative emotion itself.
Frequently, people believe that being angry means holding onto some deep seated grudge, behaving unkindly or wishing ill will towards another. It is actually much more simple than that and the truth is, anger in any form is harmful. From minute irritations and daily frustrations to rage; it is all the same from an energetic stand point. Emotions are tied to our thoughts, conscious or subconscious, and our thoughts are energy; each one attracting the same energy back to it. We have become so accustomed to living with and tolerating a certain level of anger that we often cannot even recognize it any longer.
If you are exposed to or engage in any form of anger (annoyance, resentment, fury, irritation, frustration, etc…), than you are indeed subject to the resulting problems that can occur. This emotion brings with it a lot of nasty possible issues including dis-ease, blocks to manifesting, relationship problems, addiction, health issues, and more. Not to mention the cycle of chaos it creates as anger will certainly always beget more anger over and over again until the cycle is broken. Make no mistake, letting minor frustrations build over time or allowing your fury over a wrong-doing fester will ultimately only serve to hurt you the most.
When you live with negative emotions, you are letting someone or something control your life. You cannot be in flow when you are blocked with anger, no exceptions, and it does not really take much to create a block. Without flow, our lives are out of balance and there can be no lasting harmony or joy. Since anger is almost always tied to the past (meaning something that happened in the past), we cannot be focused in the present making the experience of real joy impossible. The present moment is reality and where all of our power lies; anger takes it away from you.
Awareness is a key first step in dealing with it, but how can you truly over come pent up anger? As the old sayings go, “forgiveness heals” and “to forgive is Divine”. I am not talking about calling every person that hurt you and telling them they are forgiven. And I am also not suggesting that to forgive is to condone any harmful actions of another. To forgive is in essence to let go of all your toxic emotions about a person or situation while holding onto the lessons and love; only you and God or your angels need to be involved. Once you release all of the stored rage, you become free of it; free to live in the present moment. And experience lasting joy.
It may take some time depending on your circumstances, but it is the most loving thing you can do for yourself and everybody deserves to be healed. I conquered years of anger with the helpful guidance of my angels and today I am fulfilling my life’s purpose to help others do the same. I constantly forgive in the moment now to ensure nothing related to anger is able to reside in my heart and take me out of alignment with my higher self. God’s will is peace on Earth and the angels’ mission is to help each of us achieve inner peace. However, peace cannot exist where anger resides so living with it is essentially against with God’s will. Allowing yourself to heal by surrendering your anger is part of the path to peace on Earth; achieved one person at a time.
If you are struggling with defeating your anger, seek the guidance of your angels. We each have guardian angels whose purpose is to help whenever we ask for it. Simply ask and they will counsel you through your intuition and instincts. If you cannot hear them because of self-doubt or disbelief, you can obtain their messages in a reading from someone who can.
