Mystic Minute: Sand Mandalas and Spiritual Evolution
Sand Mandalas and Spiritual Evolution ©2018 Joan M. Newcomb, CPC
Yesterday I had the most amazing experience. I sat down and used Garage Band to record and edit a training that I’m offering on a Global Telesummit in a couple weeks. The thing is, I’ve had Garage Band on my laptop since 2011 (yes, it’s the same laptop, just with a new battery and hard drive), but I’ve never used it. When I first got it, the technology of Garage Band was way over my head.
But yesterday it was a breeze. But that’s because I’ve been recording and editing my YouTube videos for the last five years. Compared with video, audio is a breeze. It was thrilling.
When I had the recording complete, I decided to add music to it, and something happened. I don’t know what, but the entire recording disappeared. An entire afternoon’s work vanished.
I spent another hour trying to reproduce what I’d done to no avail (I had an outline but most of what I had talked about was improvised). I went from having the most productive day in months to… pffft.
What’s happening? It’s not Mercury Retrograde, for Pete’s Sake.
My Buddhist husband would say that it’s a lesson in the impermanence of life. And there’s something to that, because life does seem like a sand mandala sometimes. You spend all this time creating a reality, nurturing relationships, and then it all dissipates in the blink of an eye.
The more you try to hold on to your creations, the less you seem to have them.
What have I learned (besides making sure you save your work, especially in antiquated programs that don’t automatically do it for you)?
One thing that I know is that life is not a school and these situations aren’t “lessons”. They’re experiences. They can be redirects. And as I’m writing I also realize that the subject that I’m working on is an upgrade of a course I offered two years ago.
Old techniques don’t work any more. Or, they work as well as dialup does for accessing today’s internet. Perhaps yesterday’s erasure ensures that today’s recording will be more up to date?
Here’s the other thing that I know, the more I operate as Consciousness in form, the more improvisational reality becomes. Unexpected things happen.
So even as I’m trying to bring information into physical form, I need to let go of the outcome. Pretty friggin’ exasperating when under a deadline.
We’re going through a major expansion right now and it feels important to stay flexible. To be ready to pivot at any moment.
Reality is reorganizing. Rather than staying attached to what was, I’m curious to see what unfolds.
Because what is truly real never ceases to exist. It’s the story that changes, the scenery gets moved around, characters enter and exit the stage.
Stay centered as Consciousness, and you can enjoy it all.

Mystic Minute YouTube Video: Things That Are Bigger Than We Are
Mystic Musings: Manipulating Reality
Manipulating Reality ©2018 Joan M. Newcomb, CPC
We all seem to be seeking change. We want aspects of our reality to be different. We try to make this happen, either by asking/invoking something outside of ourselves to do it, or by trying to do it ourselves. We use pure effort, we try strategies, we employ systems, we practice or we pray.
I taught techniques on how to create your reality for many years, which were very effective, until I went through a Consciousness Shift myself and those things stopped working. Then I learned (and developed) different ways to move through life to create different experiences.
And then went through a period of time when I was just responding to what showed up, with no motivation to try to change, fix, or manipulate reality at all.
Once in a while, though, I hit times when I feel highly motivated to pull out the old toolkit. One of those was recently, when there was a child abduction case in our neighborhood. Kids at a playground filmed on their phones an old, white, man in a hat and glasses, tying up a ten year old with duct tape, before putting him in a car and driving away.
When I got home and learned this, helicopters had been flying overhead for a couple hours as the police was searching for this guy.
I picked up different bits of information off of social media, all very disturbing, and at some point I kinesiology tested whether they’d find the kid. I got a yes. And then I tested whether he’d be alive, and I didn’t get a clear answer.
Mind you, I was picking up on *everyone’s* reaction to the photos, which didn’t help my testing.
So I got pissed. I decided that I was going to manipulate the shit out of reality. I drew in an enormous amount of “power” and energetically picked up the man by the neck, and scattered his molecules. I may have threatened him with obliteration if the kid wasn’t released, I can’t quite remember. It was very quick and intuitive. But then I decided that *I* could step into a reality that had a different outcome – and suddenly the energy dissipated. The charge wasn’t there. It was done.
I was still quite shook up about it, so over then next twenty minutes I’d try one thing or another, but it all fell flat.
After that I went back on social media and discovered the police called off the search. The man turned out to be the kid’s grandfather, and the story was that the kid was autistic and running into traffic so he used duct tape to subdue him. (CPS was now investigating).
So who knows what really happened but what I notice for myself is that *I* changed the reality I was experiencing, and then the story about what was happening changed. Even though there are still some shifty details to work out.
But here’s the perspective from Consciousness – we’re all Infinite Beings, including the 10 year old, the grandfather, and me. Myself as Consciousness created a story I became aware of. I created a response to it. I did some actions (or reactions).
The first part – fear, then rage, was *not* myself as Consciousness, but the part of me that was felt the need to draw on power that was outside itself in order to manipulate a story that was also outside of itself.
When the energy changed was me employing an actual Consciousness Technique – stepping myself into a reality with a different outcome.
Because you can’t really change things by manipulating. I mean, you can move stuff around and make it look different, but the same core patterns will keep running, so whatever you want to avoid or fix will keep replicating in whatever you try to replace it with.
Playing in Consciousness is an art, it doesn’t work if you’re try to make it a system. When you’re playing *as* Consciousness, you’re at a level beyond thought, beyond your intellect, your mind machine “GPS”.
Shifting yourself in this way creates results beyond what your mind can imagine.
Try this, this week, and see what happens.

Mystic Minute: All About (Friggin’) Growth Periods!
Mystic Musings: Working With The Unseen (Old Ways Become New Again)
Working With The Unseen (Old Ways Become New Again) ©2018 Joan M. Newcomb, CPC
Every couple of years (or faster, it seems nowadays), I go through a consciousness shift, and my techniques go through an “upgrade”. I struggle for a bit, as old ways stop working, until I relax into whatever the new “operating system” appears to be.
Recently, I was on a conference call for a marketing course I’ve been taking, led by Robert Scheinfeld who is the author of “Busting Loose From The Money Game”. When I asked him a question on being frustrated with an aspect of my business, he suggested that I talk to my guides about it.
Now, I thought I’d stopped talking to guides a long time ago. After I’d upgraded them and we stopped having ‘staff meetings’ when they became electrons. My first reaction was, “oh, that’s such ‘old paradigm’!”
Then I realized, I communicate with the unseen all the time, I just don’t slow down enough to put it on paper. What would it be like if I tried “staff meetings” again with the deva of my business? Would it even work?
I decided to try a coning, which is an energy configuration that I used for many years, with great success. It starts by focusing as Consciousness and connecting with the deva of my business (I actually have several businesses, but in this case I just chose an overarching Deva, without specifically defining what it was). And then connecting with Pan as a representative of Nature, the aspect of bringing the devic information into form. And I connect with my ‘team’ which can be any number of unseen helpers (this time I asked for tech help, publicity, copywriting, and some others).
It was really interesting. I never really paid attention to Pan but in this case I got a *very* strong energetic perception of a big, barrel chested and full bearded, seemingly male presence, who *really* wanted me to open a bottle of wine and have some fun. I moved on to brief communication with the Deva and the team, basically me requesting inspiration and information. It ended fairly quickly. I don’t even remember what I wrote. It’s on my iPad somewhere.
But right after that I got a call from a client from nearly 10 years ago requesting an hour long energy healing. I stopped doing them a while ago as my focus has shifted to teaching people to transforming themselves. I’ve also stopped doing hour long calls, when my rates went up. 30 minute calls deliver the same amount of transformation more efficiently. But, what the heck, so I did it.
Including that session, I unexpectedly earned nearly $1000 in the week after I did that first coning.
I’ve had a couple “staff meetings” since then, really disappointed that I’m not sensing Pan the way I originally felt. They’re very brief, and I don’t really recall anything hugely inspirational coming from them.
And then, out of the blue, I got an email inviting me to a telesummit at the end of May. Sure, why not, I thought, I can recycle the offer I used for a telesummit I did last year. But it turns out this telesummit is focusing on Health, Miraculous Healings and Prevention of Diseases, a completely different topic.
Hmm. So then I give the woman in charge who will be interviewing me a sample session and chat briefly about a possible product. And while we talked, something clicked that what I’m offering will be seeds for the next level of my online courses.
See, I’ve been offering the same course for the last two years, primarily as a private coaching package and sometimes to small groups. But I’ve been so busy that when people complete, I haven’t been able to give them something beyond that beginner course.
And here’s the thing – it’s going to be an upgraded version of Accessing Unseen Help in your Life, Health and Business.
So now I’m really excited, busily producing the content for the Telesummit, which will be at a *radically discounted* rate from what the final investment for the full course will be. Stay tuned for details.
And yesterday it hit me. Accessing Unseen Help arose the moment I started doing these staff meetings again.
Ha, ha, ha.
Those guys are so crafty.
Mystic Musings Blog: What To Do When Reality “Recodes”
What To Do When Reality “ReCodes” ©2018 Joan M. Newcomb
If you’re on Facebook, how do you react when they roll out a new format? You wake up one day and half your timeline is populated by ads or suggested posts and you can’t see your friends any more. WTF??
Now imagine that you’re playing an online virtual reality game with people all over the world, and the game is being recoded *as you are playing it*. The consternation amongst the players is palatable.
My husband is a devout Tibetan Buddhist, who follows a strict practice that is a thousand years old. It’s about as opposite from my interactions with Consciousness as you can get, and it’s fascinating when he comments about changes that he’s feeling with his meditations that so perfectly describe what I’ve been noticing in reality.
The other day after his meditations, he said that “it feels like a software upgrade”. That it felt like a “recoding” was going on.
And I’m like, yeah, that’s exactly what is happening! And we’re all perceiving it in different ways.
If you’re experiencing the world as your avatar, your character in the game, you’re going to feel helpless, angry, powerless to the whims of whatever is going on externally.
If you’re experiencing the world as the user, you may still be pretty pissed off with the programmers, but might be figuring out ways to game the system to your advantage.
Now if you’ve been familiar with metaphysics for a while, you’ll consider that you’re a programmer of the game, and may be busily upgrading software you’ve created to meet with the new requirements.
When you realize that you are the designer as well as all the other aspects, programmer, player, avatar, there’s no need to do anything. You’re in agreement with everything that is happening, since you’re also creating everything that is happening.
You can still play at other levels, but it’s a lot more fun and you’re aware of moving through different experiences as you do so.
I call the designer aspect Consciousness, and we are all Consciousness, creating this reality, experiencing it in our different bodies and personalities.
Even the most unconscious of us, is Consciousness.
For myself, I can tell what level I’m playing on, by how I feel. If I feel frustrated or irritated, I’m struggling at the character level of the game. If I feel like I know it all and am striving to be in control of my reality, I’m still operating from the mind level, and even if I’m able to manifest results, those results will invariably backfire in some way.
When I feel amused, curious, playful and loving, I’m operating as Consciousness. I effortlessly flow through my day in ways that would drive my inner Napoleon crazy. How the heck can you produce results if you’re not taking decisive action with specific intentions?
Yet as I navigate as Consciousness, I find that reality reorganizes in ways more perfect that I could imagine.
Even if what seems to be happening in the world is sad or negative, I can see the bigger picture of what is unfolding.
I invite you to play as Consciousness this week and see what happens!

Blog: We All Get Daily “Do-Overs” (and Why there are no ethics as Consciousness)
We All Get Daily “Do-Overs” (and Why there are no ethics as Consciousness) ©2018 Joan M. Newcomb, CPC
I’m working with several people on reconciling their pasts. They are knee deep in shame and struggle over things they’ve done. The main focus is to shine a light on their side of the street, so they can move forward with no regrets.
A realization I had today is that we have these different themes running through our lives, different story threads, different recurring energy patterns. When we engage unconsciously, these patterns seem to run us. We do things we may later consider unconscionable when when shine the light of Consciousness on it all.
It’s not useful to berate ourselves or want to punish ourselves to past misdeeds. It just solidifies the pattern we want to unravel. Sometimes there are definite actions we can take to help us release the past. But sometimes we might have already rectified the situations and we haven’t recognized it.
Mind you, Consciousness is infinitely neutral about all of this. When our bodies die, what remains is our greater Consciousness, and there’s none of this leftover residual energy that we’ve made up stories about from a personality level interpretation.
We don’t go to hell, we aren’t trapped in purgatory, our immortal souls are not destroyed by the misdeeds committed while in form. It’s all just absorbed into Consciousness, like falling into an ocean of Love.
It’s hard to comprehend while in form, because this is a world where things are black and white, good and bad, right and wrong. So we will interpret the afterlife with these same assumptions.
When we’re entangled in form, these ethics are all very real. Outside of form, they don’t exist.
That doesn’t mean that it’s ok to run around killing people or ripping them off while you’re in body. Not because it’s bad, but because you’re engaging in unconscious behavior patterns. When you’re operating as Consciousness, you have no interest in playing that way in form.
So how do we reconcile the actions of the past, when we were operating as our body personality egoic patterns, from this new awareness as Consciousness?
It’s simple (as everything as Consciousness is simple). Each day we get a “Daily Do-Over”. We get to be different. Every day is a new reality. Kind of like the movie “Groundhog Day”, except the story moves onward.
We get to be new every morning. We don’t have to behave the way we used to, we don’t have to react to things the way we used to. And even if we are engaging with situations and people from our pasts, we don’t have to be the way that’s projected at us (because there are all sorts of stories out there as well.
As Consciousness, we’re inventing this moment to moment. If past situations arise in the present, they’re opportunities to be different. Each time you are different with past patterns, the energy dissipates until it’s gone completely.
Each time we respond as Consciousness, we embody our greater self more into form, we’re more empowered, clear and confident. And our lives reorganize is miraculous ways.
Try this for the next week and see what happens!

Mystic Musings: Solidity versus Stability; what is safer during these changing times?
Solidity versus Stability; what is safer during these changing times? ©2018 Joan M. Newcomb, CPC
We’re going through a pretty chaotic time. Monumental changes are happening, faster than ever before. We’re needing to adjust at lightening speed.
It’s daunting and disorienting. How do we feel safe during all this expansion? How do we maintain our equilibrium?
The old or traditional ways of doing this aren’t working any more. In the past, it would be creating or seeking some kind of anchor. That anchor may be in the form of a reliable job, an established belief system such as a religion, or even a persona, like being a “a solid citizen”.
However, solidity is no longer an effective way to to respond to growth. The vibrational frequency of this Consciousness Shift is so high (and increasing exponentially) that trying to anchor into density is about as safe as staying inside a brick building during an earthquake.
Wait, I can hear all your analytical minds buzzing – doesn’t stability equate with solidity? Isn’t it the same thing? Are you stronger when you’re solid?
Not necessarily. When you’re in the amount of expansion we’re experiencing, you need sea legs under you. Trying to stay immovably firm during these energy fluctuations, you’ll topple over.
What’s already happening is, any antiquated concept or tightly held belief within you is disintegrated, like mortar between bricks. Heck, for some people, even the bricks are turning to dust. Or maybe just their brick façades.
What creates stability instead? Think of it like trying to stay upright on a boat in the ocean, or even on a surf board (during some growth periods). Your focus goes inwards, to your core. Your feet may flat on the floor, yet your stance is flexible.
It’s a different way of anchoring, going within, than going down into the planet. It may not seem very stable at first. In fact, it seems the opposite. Yet I’ve found in this new Consciousness, everything is often the opposite of what we were originally taught.
Reality is under renovation right now, it isn’t the most secure anchor point. When you anchor within yourself, you’re accessing your greater aspect of Consciousness. It’s going deeper into the essence of who you really are, rather than the illusion of what is.
We don’t need the old forms of grounding or protection. Protection is often a form of resistance anyway, and resistance magnetically attracts what you don’t want. Consciousness is more powerful than anything. There’s no need for protections in this new world.
When you connect inward to Consciousness, you innately know it’s a benevolent Universe. You innately know that all is very, very well.
