When Visions (and Intentions) are Limiting ©2019 Joan M. Newcomb, CPC
Today’s a potent new moon, and apparently a great time to set intentions for manifesting by the Full moon. I always feel a sense of conflict nowadays between having a vision for the future and being in the present moment, accepting if not content with what is.
My experience as Consciousness in 5D shows me that being in present time feels expansive and unlimited. There’s no need to set intentions or create a vision for the future because you’re creating everything as Consciousness in the Now and it’s all unfolding in your (and everyone’s) favor.
The part of me that wants to set intentions and have a perfect vision is the part of me that thinks there’s something wrong with what is, and wants to manipulate and control outcomes so the results look just the way they’re ‘supposed’ to.
On the other hand, there is a level of reality that operates like a 3D printer and whatever you think about repetitively shows up in your life. If all you’re focused on is your dismal existence and can’t imagine anything better, you’re going to keep experiencing things dismally.
It doesn’t have anything to do with intentions, but it does have to do with focus. When you’re viewing things through the lens of your mind machine, from the level of thought, everything is going to look like a problem that needs fixing.
When you shift your identification and focus to that as Consciousness, everything is going to look like a fun creation to play in or play with.
As Mind-Body-Personality, you’re a helpless drone in this world is one of density and effort. Your mind can only create in reaction to whatever has already happened.
As Consciousness, you’re a kid in a candy store. When you consider your future as Consciousness, it’s a Disney World of possibilities.
It’s all fun, and play, and choices, and options.
It isn’t a matter of changing your mindset, or raising your awareness. You can easily and effortlessly step through a door to a Parallel Universe where it’s unfolding in your favor. You don’t even have to look for the right door, you don’t need to perform specific rituals, you don’t have to be perfect in any way.
When you do this, it’s infinitely subtle and distinctly profound. And what results is beyond your wildest imagination, something you could never have thought possible.

Right now we’re in the dark side of the moon, we’re having a new moon eclipse tomorrow. It’s the 3rd of three eclipses that started a month ago. People have been going huge growth spaces. I’m not an astrologer, but I see astrology as an energetic component of the hologram, that is the world we’re creating as Consciousness. It’s like energy weather. We can use it to our advantage, like wind in our sails.
So eclipses open doors, create sudden new changes, beginnings and endings. But they also ‘eclipse things’, which sometimes means shining light hidden things but also means not everything is fully revealed. Change can be initiated that doesn’t become fully clear for a month to six months.
So we’re going through dark times, some of us are fumbling around, many of us are frustrated that there isn’t enough light yet. Especially those of us who are light bringers and healers, who want to illuminate, enlighten, clear, and restore to wholeness.
I have to confess, I’m still a little afraid of the dark. But that’s because I sense denser energies as I move through it. In my last house, which was built in 1905, I always felt energy just outside the bedroom door (which made it real fun to go to the bathroom at night).
In my current house, which was built in 1956, the family that lived in it 60+ years has had at least two members that have passed. So I’ll feel the presence of one in our hallway (most likely the one who passed most recently). I’ve just learned to walk through it without resisting.
In the old days, I’d do an exorcism. In recent times, I’ve just been navigating around it. But it occurs to me to do a different kind of energy work, a kind of house blessing, which brings it into present time. It gently releases energies absorbed from the past and assists them to their next level of evolution.

I often feel like I’m the keeper of family secrets. Things I’ve seen or heard, witnessed that others haven’t. If I’m the only one who knows or remembers, does it make it real?
A few years ago I helped someone die at home. After helping my mother pass, I kinda sorta knew what I was stepping into, or so I thought.
It was a completely different experience.
Now, deaths are like births, everyone creates their own unique circumstances,whether they’re exiting the body or entering it. People gather for the event, that is they come into their lives (or come into their lives again) wittingly or unwittingly.
My mother’s passing was peaceful. I lay in bed beside her for 21 days giving her sips of water, as she birthed herself back to Spirit.
The other experience was chaotic. Their spouse was angry at them for dying, and enraged it was happening at home. They refused to give them pain medication, and in the last few days hospice assigned me to do so otherwise the person would have had to go to hospital.
Yet we were able to arrange family to Skype, or to show up, in those last few days, before they finally were able to leave.
Things got even more intense after their passing. And after I came home, I started having post traumatic stress symptoms – “startle” reflexes that took a long time to subside. And I would awake in the middle of the night replaying the story of the wrongs that had been done, over and over again, how I have scanned documents as proof, etc.
Now, that was over four years ago, but last week the startle reflexes came up out of the blue. I wondered if it had something to do with the holiday (the veils are thinner between worlds at such times).
And recently I had an email that entered me into that world again. And I had a really horrible sleepless night revisiting the experiences of the past.
Now I have no idea what the story has been on that side of things since all that happened. But I do sense that people are in still great grief, and that is sad.
It’s my story about the past that can still cause me pain. What injustices were done, what inconsiderations, what people did or did not do. But none of that is real now.
In the present moment there is no story. There is nothing going on but what is happening now. Now, I’m in my living room as I’m typing this. The clock is ticking. There is trickling water from the fish tank. Outside my windows there are hundred foot tall Douglas firs standing as silent guardians.
In the present moment I am restored to Consciousness. There is clarity, there is light, there is simplicity. It is an enormous feeling of Presence. I breathe, and release, knowing that it’s a benevolent Universe and all is very, very well.
