Divine Openings with Lola Jones

[serenac]

Hi all!

Well I just tried out the first Divine Opening from the book last night. Truth is felt a little disappointed, I didn't feel ANYTHING! Not a THING! Not even a tingling. Nothing has happened so far either. Maybe it takes a little bit of time to start to *activate* or something?

Or maybe I did it wrong? I didn't want to print out the picture from the book because I don't have a really good printer, so I looked at the photo on her website. I just gazed at it for about 5 minutes and then I went to bed.

Or maybe I'll have to wait to receive the book and look at the REAL photo in the book??

I wonder how long it'll take to reach Europe.

Hi Serenac!
Sometimes people feel things from Divine Openings and sometimes they don't...feeling doesn't mean it worked or it didn't...give yourself time and observe how your week goes. Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!
Love and Light,

Experience with my first Divine Opening

Hi,
I have been reading this thread for about two months now. My first thought about Divine Openings was "Not another thing that I have to read, understand, do internal work with"! I read the wonderful reports that others were giving about Divine Openings, went to the web page, and there was just to much there! Overwhelmingly to much! Not more audio to listen to, and more video, and more money to spend on enlightenment!
Having already tried SO MANY different healing/empowerment/enlightenment modulities in the past few years, I just was not willing to invest the time, money, energy in yet another program, that just might eventually sit on a shelf, or in my computer, not being used, because it takes to much time, has so little impact and lasting results.
But, everytime I came to the forum, to read the Paths section,, I would see this Divine Openings section, and have to click there also, to read what others were experiencing.
So, I finally thought, what do I have to loss. The book is only about $30. with shipping. After ordering the book, I was able to read the free section that is sent to you while waiting for the book to arrive.
Read it, did the first divine opening. Didn't experience anything. But, I have been working with energetic artwork now for about the past year, and realized that although I may not feel anything happening, if I pay attention to the intentions of the energy art, over time, I usually am able to notice a shift, and slowly, my world begins to change.
I did the first divine opening on Friday evening, and then went to bed. Nothing unusual happened.
Saturday, all day, I am weepy! Watched a couple of Christmas movies, wept. Read some spiritual stuff on the net, and wept some more. Good weeping. Aware of the Presence of Love.
Now, I am excited for the book to get here, and impatiant to be able to do the next divine opening! I have to wait a whole week!
I keep going back to the first divine opening, and just loving gaze at the picture, wanting more!
So, whoever started this thread, thank you, thank you, thank you!! My heart is still weepy, good weepy, expanding with love weepy!

I enjoyed the videos I watched from Lola Jones very much and am going to order the book.
Has anyone checked out her 'divine' dating book?
I think I had a 'divine opening' just from the vids!

Thanks for bringing this to our attention!!!

[devavan]

Divine dating? Not quite ready for dating, yet. But I'll have to remember that, along with the Paths XModule!

To Pamela

Jumping the Matrix is similar to Matrix Energetics and Busting Loose from the Money Game..to me. It's like doing M.E. with no technique...which is exactly what M.E. is supposed to be. LOL

Who do you Love?

I was reading a book called Initiation by Elisabeth Haich. She retells her memories of being an egyptian priestess. There is a quote in the book that really resonated with me

"Don't love the person, but love the divine within the person, tolerate the earthly, and go around the demonic. Whenever your task demands it of you, you must be able to leave without delay the person you love the most, because you must always remember that the lovable characteristics in him are GOD, not the person himself. The person is only an instrument for the manifestation of God. You can find and love the same manifestation in other people too. Love God in everyone; then you will not be attached to anyone. This not having ties must never be allowed to turn into general indifference and apathy concerning people around you."

[serenac]

Okay so don't really know if it's *working* or not, maybe it's working maybe it's not? If it's doing anything it's quite slow and subtle, no fireworks, dramatic breakdowns, overnight miracles.

Maybe I notice maybe now I've become a bit more, like, well like now everyday instead of making plans for the whole day and trying to follow them I'll maybe more just think, well what does the energy feel like doing today? And whatever it feels like doing I'll do it. Of course there are things that MUST be done and I can't avoid them, like taking the kids to school or if I have an appointment somewhere, but outside of these things there are still many hours in a day in which I really don't have any absolutely FIXED, HAVE TO DO THEM things.

We live in a really logical, rational, left-brained society where goal-setting, meeting our deadlines, following the rules and guidelines, are all really highly praised. If I made plans for a day and I didn't follow them, before I would beat myself down about it and tell myself how I was so undisciplined and lazy and that by behaving that way I should never expect to accomplish anything in life. Now I just do what feels good and right each day, and sometimes that means NOT working (good thing I don't have a boss, I can just imagine: Boss: What d'ya mean you haven't typed up those letters yet??! Me: I just didn't feel like it today haha!), taking a break from work and all its headaches and deliberately thinking about anything else except work, for one day, or 2, whatever feels right. Now I LOOOVE my work, so there's no danger that I'll end up not going back because I LOVE it so much!

But if one day working doesn't feel right for me then I won't work that day, and I no longer consider myself a failure for behaving this way. I've come to realize that doing the RIGHT things at the RIGHT time means that you will actually have to work VERY LITTLE and you will accomplish a lot MORE doing the right things at the right time, than breaking your back doing the wrong things at the wrong time.

Okay some more news on this surprising new *modality*!

Seems for them to have some effect on me I need to do each Divine Opening twice, do it once and then a coupla days later do the same DO all over again. The effects are reeeeeeeeeeeally incredible!!

So I did the second DO yesterday (for the second time) and wow! I've been blissing out ever since! I thought it wouldn't be too practical, so much bliss I mean, I mean we do live in a practical, material world and we can't spend all our time in ecstasy-land. So I thought, oh okay so it's nice to feel so happy now but I expect this will go away later and I'll come back down to earth. Well it did go away, but then it came back!

Thing is it really isn't so impractical, it's not a spaced-out oh-I'm-getting-away-from-this-world type of bliss, it's just happy. I feel sooooooooo happy, everything I see around me makes me happy, I feel happy to have such a cozy, comfy homey apartment, my kids make me happy, having a TV makes me happy, I have so much fun when I go out for whatever reason. And I feel like finding ways to make life much more fun and thinking of FUN things to do all the time, sure helps in that department to have 2 kids, kids are always dreaming up fun and silly things to do!

Anyways those of you who've read something from me in Gracie's post I guess you'd know I try to do *gratitude sessions* every day, well this is just like taking a gratitude session up to the next step, now when I think of aaaaaaaaall the many many things I have to feel grateful for, these things make me feel happy. I look around me at all the drama going on in other people's lives, for example I see a lot of people getting upset about things that really don't seem important at all, that I think if anyone were to really get their priorities straight they wouldn't feel bothered at all by these things.

Well before Divine Openings I already felt that way but before I used to get really mad at these people, I'd feel like screaming at them, well wake up honey who cares that this or that has happened to you!!! It's not like your cat died or somethin'! And now I don't feel mad at them anymore, I feel a lot more, like, well compassion or something for them, I realize that they are just simply at that level at this moment, that that is where they are right now and we've all been at that level at some point in our lives, there's nothing wrong if they are at that level, in order to move up they first have to pass through that level and it's okay for every person to be just exactly where they are at this moment. We all had to go to grade 1 before we could reach grade 4 and we couldn't do our grade 4 work if we didn't first master grade 1. And when you're in grade 1 it can sure seem tough!

And then other than that it's I guess just basically a more sorta lightening up kinda attitude towards things in life, like I don't have to take everything so seriously. For example if you've read something from me before maybe you'd know I'm working on an exciting project, well I used to take it sooooooo seriously and now I just see it as, like, oh I'll work on it not because I hope to maybe earn some $$$ (okay well euros) from this someday, and it's my dream etc. etc., but rather now it's like, okay I'll do this because it's fun, when it doesn't feel like fun, when it feels like work, it's a sign to me it's time to stop working on it, go out and have some fun! So now I don't see it as a chore, something I HAVE TO do every day anymore. So if I don't feel like working on this one day it's like it's okay, I won't, I'll go out and do something fun and exciting and I won't feel guilty about that either. There's no hurry anyways to get this project off the ground, it's more important to have fun! And in the process of having fun maybe something new, exciting and unexpected can also have the chance of showing up in my life, which I otherwise might never have given it the chance to enter into my life before.

If you've read something from me before you might know that MONEY has always been a HUMUNGOUS issue for me! Well now I all of a sudden just lighten up even about that! For example I've been asking the universe for a while now to help me manifest some form of steady income in my life, a job or whatever, or maybe just a profession that I could get steady work in, as a freelancer or somethin'. But now I realized that, maybe I'm not s'posed to get a steady job, maybe I'm supposed ta be getting my income from other means. I realized that up till now the universe has always taken really good care of me, in fact since I started Paths I've been manifesting extra income above my usual sources of income EVERY SINGLE month since I started Paths, NO EXCEPTIONS! I even got some extra money this very month, just yesterday in fact! (When I was feeling so high hehe!)

So I realized I could lighten up even on that issue, that I really don't need to worry, up till now the universe has always taken good care of me and there's no reason why I should expect the universe to stop taking good care of me. Having a steady job is just an illusion, it appears to give financial security and I guess it does to many people, but there are other ways of getting financial security in addition to having a steady job. We shouldn't cleave to a steady job, we should just trust in the universe, it will always provide for us. For some of us it will provide for us through a steady job but a steady job is only one means that the universe can use to provide us with that income, there are so many other ways to get an income out there as well and if we give the universe a chance it can use all of those means to get that income to us and thus continue taking good care of us. We needn't cling to a steady job and become its slaves, all we need to do is cling to the universe! The universe (G-d, the Divine, whatever ya wanna call it) is the only real sole provider.

Who would ever have thought I'd stop worrying about money???

Okay enough chit-chat enough sermonizing! In fact I think maybe it's even not too necessary anymore for me to keep posting about Divine Openings that much anymore, I'll just enjoy the process. No I'm still grumpy in the mornings, I'm NOT a morning person! But later it passes hehe. Just wanted to exclaim, this Divine Openings stuff really does seem to be working something really does seem to be happening (moving, shifting, jumping around, whatever) out there! Yipee!

[Ayurved]

I LOVE hearing about your experience Serenac, so please feel free to write more as you feel moved....not because you have to!! lol
but I am certainly enjoying it and is inspiring!

I received my book last week...I love it!!!! Its very hard for me to not race through the book and not jump ahead to the next opening....so doing them 2x sounds great to me!

I had a big beaming Bliss moment/day after an Divine opening via one of her vids, but not til followed by a simple prayer/mantra session to my friend Durga, for another reason, and the prayer which interestingly includes a bit about 'forgive the dumb stuff my small self does' seemed to be what pushed it over the edge. Besides feeling electrified in a very certain way, all these things were very clear to me, and I wrote stuff in my journal like "we are holographic particles of the Divine, sent out to the physical plane to experience and play with creation, so how could we be/feel separate?" which whatever, but I FELT that, which was very cool.

Do we have to have so many 'contrasts', so we we're compelled to keep going til we break through? So many spiritually minded people are in a state of near panic b/c their lives are seemingly falling apart. Mine certainly was!!!!!
I've known and mostly trusted it was for a 'good cause'...but where I want to be is a very different place than where I'm coming from.

It hit me the other day that besides being a completely different person than I was a few years ago (b/f PATHS et al), my practice is completely different....(after joining the 5,000 yr old lineage of my advanced teacher and very diff protocol)...but MOST importantly, my clients and their needs have changed so much. One point being that anything I have been trying to hold onto from my 'old life' isn't working...even the ones I think should...
and, that led me to sign up for a pretty expensive year long biz coaching program that I would normally say couldn't afford....but I was able to say "its totally up to me to make that statement true or not!!!" A big change, but most important, I FELT that, not just mentally thought it.

Thanks so much everybody for bringing D.O. to our attention, and for sharing your experiences with it.

Nancy

[marnyka]

Happy to see you're soaring SERANAC

I love Divine Openings becasue there is so little to actually do. Our 10% is mainly in feeling the feelings and getting out of our own way. That's why I became a Divine Openings Giver..so I could spread and be this beacon to as many people as possible in my life.

When the forum boards go quiet, that's everybody living their lives. It is truly magnificent.

[serenac]

Hi Marnyka! Living their lives? Or taking care of sick kids hehe?

[serenac]

Well I said I'd continue posting about D.O. so I'll do that, before I forget, about this wonderful experience. These things feel so great, but later they go away and then you forget what happened.

At last I tried out D.O. number 3, was really looking forward to doing it but didn't have time to read up in the book up to that point, at last I arrived!

I have yet to experience that profound and life-changing experience that Lola talks about, feeling connected to the Divine and merging with the Divine and becoming aware of being one with the Divine and all that. Truth is I still don't feel the Divine anywhere, it's just an intellectual concept for me at the moment.

But after a while after doing the D.O., not immediately afterwards, immediately afterwards I really didn't notice anything. But a few hours later I had a chance to be alone and in silence, so I did that. It was really nice, kinda like spacing out. My mind was absolutely BLANK, there was NOTHING in there, no thoughts, no questions, no dreams, it was like a big spacious empty room. Felt empty too. I was just all blank and empty inside.

Yesterday I was feeling unhappy because seemed my project was taking so long, it just wasn't arriving, etc. But now, at this moment I least, I feel like it isn't important. Tomorrow isn't important anymore, tomorrow doesn't exist it hasn't arrived yet. The only thing that is real right now is RIGHT NOW. So what will happen tomorrow doesn't really matter, right now. It doesn't exist right now.

Right now I am being perfectly taken care of, we have a warm, cosy apartment to live in, we've got great food. What are we really searching for anyways? What do I really hope to accomplish with this project? When will I feel like I've finally *arrived* with this project? When I have the first *commercial success*? We know it won't stop with that, when I achieve the first commercial success I'll be off seeking the next challenge, wanting to do more, do the next thing in line, etc. I'll never *arrive*, there'll always be something more to do, some new goal to accomplish.

Whereas right now I'm having a real BALL just preparing this project, that is what it's really all about! It's not about *arriving*, reaching that first commercial success, then the next, then the next etc. It IS all about just enjoying working on the project, having a great time preparing every step of the way, having fun doing it, doing it because it's fun not because I hope to accomplish something with it someday. And when I've done about as much as I can do at home, when I'm ready to share it with the world I won't need to worry about that *commercial success* because the universe will then provide me with more opportunities to continue having fun with it, not because I'll maybe get some money, success, etc. from it but rather because it's so fun, and the universe will always keep giving me opportunities to have even more fun.

Well I've been finding that these D.O. feel really nice after having one, but as the days pass I tend to forget what happened after a D.O. so I'll write it down here and maybe next week when I've forgotten I can just look it up here again hehe!

[Pamela Vicik-Smith]

I love reading about your success Serenac! You seem to be in the zone and totally "getting it." Way to go

[serenac]

I don't know if anyone else has noticed, does doing Divine Openings seem to make you sound daft, like you rant and rave and it sounds incoherent and doesn't make any sense? Like it seems D.O. makes your mind switch off or something, and you can't think straight?

Well I suppose I can think of some good reasons to get your mind to switch off temporarily, like your mind is always chit-chattering nonsense anyways, so it's not a bad idea to turn it off from time to time!

But I can also think of some moments in the day when you might want your mind to be in top working order too, especially for example for work purposes or something, if you have a job that requires you always be alert and think straight for example!
