Powerful Creator or Victim?

Practical Wisdom: Living 5D in a 3D World

Integrating higher consciousness into everyday life—one miracle at a time!

Hi, Beloved!

As I sit here in breezy Florida, still tending to this body that has been through its own “winter storm,” I notice how easy it is to slip into old habits of empathy. With my health, with the news, with loved ones who are hurting, the ego wants to say, “You poor thing” — sometimes to them, sometimes to me.

That’s the 3D level talking. It’s the level of separation where life feels like me vs. life, me vs. my body, me vs. circumstances. At that level, illness means I’m broken, systems are corrupt and all-powerful, and somebody “out there” has to change before I can feel safe. It’s very convincing… and totally exhausting.

But there is another level operating at the same time. The Course calls it the level of truth. I like to think of it as the altitude of the Happy Dream. From there, nothing and no one is a victim, including my lungs, my immune system, my nervous system, or my bank account. From there, I remember that I am a powerful creator in the mind of God, having an experience — not being punished by one.

So how do we live that, instead of just nodding our heads? We begin with honest self-empathy. When the body hurts, when the money is tight, when a relationship shifts, we don’t bypass the human experience. We cry, we rest, we ask for help. And at the same time, we hold ourselves the way True Empathy does:

“I know you’re hurting, love… and I also know you are not weak. This is an opportunity for your strength to be revealed, not proof that you’re powerless.”

In daily life, this might look like letting yourself fully feel the grief of a diagnosis or a loss, while refusing to tell a hopeless story about it. It might look like talking with a friend who is angry about the world and, instead of joining their outrage, silently holding them as a powerful creator who will eventually use this anger as fuel for awakening.

True Empathy doesn’t drag us down into the pit. It sits beside us, keeps its frequency steady, and waits patiently for us to remember who we really are.

Lainaism

“False empathy says, ‘You poor thing.’
True Empathy whispers, ‘You powerful thing — and I’m standing with you while you remember.’”

Closing Transmission

Beloved, you did not come here to become an expert at the 3D game of “who’s to blame.” You have played that role brilliantly for lifetimes. You know the rules. You know the pain. You know the dead ends.

You came now — into this body, this lifetime, this wild moment in history — to remember that you are a creator, not a casualty. To remember that every system, every relationship, every diagnosis is happening inside the mind of God… which means nothing can ever truly be outside of Love.

The next time you’re tempted to collapse into “you poor thing,” whether toward yourself or someone else, pause. Take a breath. Feel both levels at once. On one level, a very real human heart is hurting. On the other level, a holy being is using this exact moment to reclaim their mind.

Let your empathy be big enough to hold both. Cry with the human if needed — and bow to the creator behind their eyes. That is how we midwife the new earth: one courageous choice of perception at a time.

You are not alone in this. I feel your strength, even when you forget it. I walk this Happy Dream with you.

I love you bunches!
