Are You a World Whack-a-Mole Caretaker?

Channeled by Brenda Hoffman for LifeTapestryCreations.com

Summary of Brenda’s September 20, 2019, channeled “Creation Energies” show at BlogTalkRadio.com/brenda-hoffman:  You’ve been preparing for 2020 since 2012. So it is you’ll discover new skills throughout the next 3 months. Those following won’t experience the same for they’re completing phases you completed earlier. And those of 3D will become more fully enmeshed in fear, anger, illogic, rage, and pain.  For they accepted a challenging earth role – pushing all who wish to be of 5D or beyond out of the 3D nest. 

“Feeling or Acting Odd?” is the title of last week’s “Brenda’s Blog” – her weekly channeled blog for LifeTapestryCreations.com.

Brenda’s “Creation Energies” show and “Brenda’s Blog” contain different channeled information.

Dear Ones,

We wish to address the uneasiness you feel about your future and the future of the earth.  For even though you have been informed that all is well, it is becoming more difficult to believe that such is so.  You can ignore the media and similar factors, but it is your inner feelings you cannot understand.

For you are concerned about areas, you believe you and others addressed decades ago.  It is as if you have worked months to complete a report only to have your one copy destroyed.

You are tired of fighting, of carrying the world and your family and friends on your shoulders.  You feel as if you are on caretaker overload for the same issues keep popping up with seemingly no resolution.

Should you protect the environment?  What about people being held without their consent?  Then there is gun violence as a result of the racial, religious, gender, economic, political, and homophobic hatred displayed daily.  When and where will the next war be?  And if that is not enough, you are discovering those you love are filled with fear because they do not understand their transition, nor do they listen to the explanations you offer.  It is as if you are playing Whack-a-Mole with the world and your emotions.

You assumed that by now, you would be living in your dream world with little or no stress.  Yet, your stress seems to multiply daily.  For just as one issue seems calmer, another arrives that requires immediate attention.

Where is your peace? Where is your rest?

The truth is you have not yet let go of your need to caretake the world.  Even though you supposedly turned that concern over to your followers, you continue that role in addition to your new assignments.

You are trying to be everything to everyone.  In your work-a-day world, you would be labeled as someone who cannot delegate.  For indeed, 90% of your worries are not your role.  You are no longer a caretaker of the earth or its inhabitants.  You have other, more compelling tasks to complete.

Your caretaking days are over.  But because you have not yet allowed that to be your truth, you are anxious and angry.  You are trying to do too much, for you do not believe those following are skilled enough to pick up where you left off.

It is no longer your place to worry about atomic bombs, sheltering others, or the concerns of your friends and family.  All are caretaking modes you have outgrown.

Of course, you do not believe our statement for you are quite proud of no longer caretaking those family members or friends who seem to be in the same predicament year after year.  What you have not yet addressed is your feelings of a similar nature.

You were likely concerned about the environment and humanity decades ago.  For such was your key to this life.  But you remain so deeply entrenched in those concerns that it is difficult to turn those issues over to your followers, or if you will, the next generation of light-bearers.

Your one and only responsibility, no matter how much others beg you to return to your previous roles, is to find and follow your joy.  Worrying about the earth, the environment, or humanity is no longer joyful for you.

We, of the Universes, have told you the same month-after-month.  Yet, our information has not resulted in your knowing that worry is not joyful.  That your followers are capable of picking up where you left off.  Granted, they might not approach issues as you would, but then, you have known for years that all paths are unique.

Your world solutions are based in 3D.  Your followers’ solutions will be much different.  For their lens is of the future and yours is of the past.  Not in terms of your joy, but instead how to solve issues that continue to be troublesome for you.

Your role in this life was to shift yourself and the earth from 3D to beyond.  You completed that difficult task.  Even so, you now wonder what you did wrong and how to fix those wrongs.

You did everything wonderfully right.  Those who follow have the puzzle pieces for those areas that worry you.  You are creator beings.  So it is you created the new earth.  Now it is time for you to create something that is yours alone.  And you will know what that something is by the joy it gives you.

No longer is it necessary for you to hide your joy from those who might not understand.  For those actions were of 3D.  You are no longer of 3D, nor are your followers.  Allow them to complete the roles they assumed for this life, as we did you.

Will your followers try to obtain your help with the issues they need to solve?  Of course.  Just as you continue to request solutions from us.  Yet as is true for you, those following must claim their place without your interference or coaching.  They are skilled enough to carry on.  Such is so to allow you to create, to shift to the next step.

Of course, you wish for us to tell you what your next step is.  This we cannot do.  For it is your creation step on your unique path.  No one, least of all we, of the Universes, know where that path will lead.  The only definite we can relay is that it is not caretaking anyone or anything.  Continuing to do so will only result in exhaustion.

You are no longer responsible for the earth or any earth beings.

Your role is creating.  And your unique joy will lead to those creations.  We know what you are not.  But not who you will become. Something only you can discover through your joy.  So be it.  Amen.

3D Doesn’t Know There’s a Within

Channeled by Brenda Hoffman for LifeTapestryCreations.com

Summary of Brenda’s September 6, 2019, channeled “Creation Energies” show at BlogTalkRadio.com/brenda-hoffman:  You’re probably discovering some guilt for not doing or saying what others and you expect. You’re healing others by allowing them to find their strengths. For eons, you’ve believed you were stronger than others, or it was your responsibility to care for others despite your needs. In this earth chaos, others will try to push you into caretaking even though that’s no longer who you are.

“Pushing Your Security Rock Aside” is the title of last week’s “Brenda’s Blog” – her weekly channeled blog for LifeTapestryCreations.com.

Brenda’s “Creation Energies” show and “Brenda’s Blog” contain different channeled information.

Dear Ones,

Today is not the day to ponder your future. But then, neither is tomorrow nor the day after. For you are creating your future day by day.

Many of you wonder, even worry about your role in this new earth. “Should I be patient, stand-offish, or something other than what I’m feeling? Why can’t I get the big picture of my future?” All of which is a doing instead of being, 3D focus.

Being instead of doing is beginning to have new meaning for you. For as you exit your cocoon stage, nothing likely seems large enough to create a new direction. Even though you are more peaceful and relaxed, that cannot be your future role for you should be doing something more expansive.

We prophesized you would feel more peaceful. But now that such is starting to happen, you wonder what happened to the excitement, the fireworks.

Because your fireworks are no longer fear-based, your new excitement is not yet describable. For you are just beginning to experience new sensations and emotions.

Much of your 3D excitement was based on achievement or celebrating society shoulds whether it be marriage, academic advancement, a promotion, children, a new home or car, etc. Most of which was because it was time or past time for you to do so according to your society.

ThreeD excitement was not bad, but instead focussed on escape or achieving something others did not or could not have. No longer will others ooh and ahh over your perfect wedding or beautiful new dress, job, house, or car. For what gives you joy is not necessarily something anyone else wants.

You are on a unique path with unique needs and rewards. So it is your new excitement might even be frightening. For no longer will there be many outer success indicators – your new indicators are generated from within.

Perhaps such seems less exciting than was true when you could discuss your new car, home or whatever allowed you to feel a secret joy that you had more than someone else.

ThreeD joy and excitement were competitive. FiveD and beyond joy and excitement are internal.

So it is your society is breaking along a divide most will only understand if they are of 5D or beyond. For those entirely of 3D will wonder at your lack of enthusiasm for their latest toy or achievement. And those of you of 5D will be amazingly satisfied with that which you never thought possible before your transition.

You are a new being with new needs, thoughts, and actions. None of which are compatible with 3D yearnings. So it is those fully enmeshed in 3D will watch you with pity and those of you of 5D will do the same for those of 3D. It is a divide that is becoming more significant daily.

You will continue to interact with those of 3D, but not on the same level as was once true. Those of 3D will thrive as they continue to fear those actions and people outside their world. Those of 5D will wonder why society means anything to anyone given that the current society is based on fear and groupthink.

So it is that even though the two dimensions will continue to populate the same space, everything from needs to excitement will be of two philosophies.

You want us of the Universes to tell you that all will be of 5D eventually. Such is true, but not necessarily in this lifetime. For some need to maintain their 3D identities to give you something to compare – that is their role. But because those fully of 3D are now in the minority, their fear is compounding daily. That which used to work so well – fear and anger – seems to be less powerful daily.

Even though you might still become angry at 3D antics, you will have no need to join in. Before you and others transitioned, you were all trying to obtain the same pieces within the same fears. Now society is splintering. Encouraging you of 5D to look within, while those of 3D do not even understand there is a within.

Your transition has been amazingly successful – with the help of those of 3D who sacrificed their joy and new beings in this lifetime to help push you into your new being. For if 3D fear were not rampant, you might have wavered longer before transitioning. Change is constant, but not the timing of that change. So those deeply enmeshed in 3D are your secret diving boards encouraging you to dive into the deep waters of the unknown.

Despite your rage at times at their antics, your 3D foils are becoming braver by the day. For as more transition, those of 3D are becoming more confused and yes, lonely. Just as you perhaps felt when you initiated your transition decades ago. For the scales have changed from you being the odd person to others wondering how you project peace given all that is happening in the world.

Granted, many of you have jumped back on the fear wagon time and time again, only to discover your fears were unfounded or too uncomfortable to continue.

You are no longer of 3D, nor are most humans. Some are just starting to transition. Others are in 4D and still others, like you, are in 5D. But the majority are no longer of 3D.  Something you are just beginning to note for you are now comfortable enough with your oddness that you do not notice others observing you in wonderment instead of fear.

You have become new you with new roles that do not include being better than others. Your new role might be watching birds, taking a walk, or dancing the night away. It does not matter what gives you joy or provides excitement. It is your joy, your path, and your excitement. And the same is true for all who are evolving.

As for those loving beings who dare remain of 3D, please understand their pain as they see their joys of power and containment of others slipping through their fingers. Do they deserve your pity? That is up to you. If it feels right for you to do so, please do. But if it does not, such is so. For in this life, as in all lives, you have choices.

It is not your role to carry those who are of 3D anymore than it was their role to caretake you as you found your unique 5D path. So be it. Amen.

Pushing Your Security Rock Aside

Channeled by Brenda Hoffman for LifeTapestryCreations.com

Summary of Brenda’s August 29, 2019, channeled “Creation Energies” show at BlogTalkRadio.com/brenda-hoffman:  You’re eliminating that last piece of baggage that has haunted you throughout this lifetime. Most likely, you’ve processed that same lesson in your family of origin, relationships, and workplaces. This is your final exam. The new type of love doesn’t mean you won’t feed a hungry person, it means you direct them to their resources once you’ve fed them.

“Stop Carrying Others on Your Path” is the title of last week’s “Brenda’s Blog” – her weekly channeled blog for LifeTapestryCreations.com.

Brenda’s “Creation Energies” show and “Brenda’s Blog” contain different channeled information.

Dear Ones,

Perhaps you were prepared for the worst – and the worst did not happen. Or, you were in fear and discovered that your fear had no basis in your new reality. For who you were, and what you once suffered is no more.

The past few days have been a self-test, much like the United States broadcast warning test for a nuclear attack. When the tests first began decades ago, citizens thought about escape routes and what-ifs. Today, those same tests are merely program intrusions. And so it is now with your greatest fears. You have pondered, worried, and created escape plans only to discover that what was is no more.

Maybe you tried hiding from the expected pain of one of your 3D fears. Only to discover that there was no there there. That which once frightened you has dissipated, lessened, or disappeared. So it is you are daring to come out from under your rock of fear.

First, you peeked out, prepared for a quick scurry back to your hiding place under your rock. But little by little you have pushed your rock of protection away only to discover that you are more powerful in your light than you ever dared be under your rock of fear.

It is over. You are claiming you and declaring to the world that such is so.

Some of you remain under your protective rock waiting for the worst and hoping for the best. Do not fret if such is so. You too will soon have an experience exposing your worst fears as merely “what ifs” instead of “what is.” You will discover that you no longer need to hide under your pretend rock of fear.

For the fear you created throughout eons of earth lives was merely a cover for your inner-power. A power you did not wish to expose before the time was right. Granted, you suffered within your physical being and perhaps still do a bit. But the overall sense for most of you now is that no fear is deep enough or better said, real enough to stop evolving within your new being.

In the past, you needed to hide your power. You also wanted to add fear to your emotional repertoire in preparation for this lifetime. For if you had not enmeshed yourself in fear when fear was part of the earth experience, you would have difficulties understanding those now following you. Just as we often had difficulties understanding how fear impacted you when you were fully of 3D. We observed, but we could not experience the full-body fear that overwhelmed so many of you throughout most of your earth lives.

We could not understand how stating a seemingly wrong phrase to someone you felt more important than you, could be so debilitating. Much less the physical fear you experienced in many social interactions from, “Will he emotionally harm me?” to “She is pointing a gun at me.” Emotions held deep within you lifetime after lifetime in a cumulative fashion. So it is you created a safety hole covered with a huge rock you could hide within physically or emotionally.

Even though we informed you that you were always safe. You knew deep within that only you could prove to yourself that you were no longer part of the battering ram that became your society. The need to be better or right or stronger or wealthier or the right skin color and on and on. Informing you daily that even though you did not quite measure up, you were acceptable on certain levels, but most certainly, not all. So your place under the rock became your go-to place that grew larger with every earth experience informing you that you were less than perfect.

You are beginning to move that rock aside a bit as you accept that your earth experience is safer than ever before. Some of you have even dared to push your rock aside. You are safe.

There is no longer a need for that rock, but you must discover that for yourself – and so you are. Some of you with a push and exit from your fear hole and others with a slow slide to see the sun.

That pain, that fear is yesterday’s security blanket that you need no more. So be it. Amen.

Stop Carrying Others on Your Path

Channeled by Brenda Hoffman for LifeTapestryCreations.com

Summary of Brenda’s August 23, 2019, channeled “Creation Energies” show at BlogTalkRadio.com/brenda-hoffman:  Unlike the expected 3D aging of the physical body, humanity is now changing from the inside. Those inner changes are frightening, for they are unprecedented in earth history. You can’t yet envision humanity shifting from fear to love for most are expressing rage or fear as they do so. Even though you know what’s happening, you’re frightened at times too. 

“Do You Believe You’re 3D or 5D?” is the title of last week’s “Brenda’s Blog” – her weekly channeled blog for LifeTapestryCreations.com.

Brenda’s “Creation Energies” show and “Brenda’s Blog” contain different channeled information.

Dear Ones,

You are shifting from acquiescing to the needs of others to informing them of your thoughts and feelings. You are no longer the agreeable mime that others want you to be.

Of course, this information is not new. What is new is that you no longer feel guilty about your truth. You no longer wonder if someone’s feelings are hurt or worry that others might not care for you if you do not participate.

So it is you are feeling feisty, adhering to your inner principles even though others might be angry or bewildered by your actions.

For eons, you have known you are powerful. But you used that power to fit in instead of becoming. You were an easy target for anyone who needed something you could or would provide as a caretaker.

Now that you are exploring your inner-power, you are a stronger, more vocal being. Someone who no longer sifts through the needs and thoughts of others before finding your voice. So it is others are surprised – and not always pleasantly so – by your new demeanor.

Those impacted by your new voice might try to return you to who you were. And that is when you will surprise yourself and others with your declaration of freedom. The freedom to be without the constraints of who others want or need you to be.

This freedom, this voice will be raw without the sugar-coating of social graces. You are exhausted by the current earth chaos. So it is you are unwilling to roll back your thoughts and beliefs to those which better suit those around you.

You are rapidly discovering that trying to fit in, to be the nice boy or girl you were trained to be, is more uncomfortable than you ever imagined. A bit like those musically inclined finding it painful when they hear the wrong note in a song.

Those around you will want you to return to the kind, gentle person with whom they have always interacted. You are the caretaker of the world are you not? For that is what they expect of you. And that is what used to give you comfort – hiding behind a false caretaking curtain as you ignored your needs and powers. A bit like Clark Kent never entering the phone booth to become Superman.

Now you superwomen and men not only want to be discovered, it is necessary that you are. For the world, the Universes are waiting.

Likely, you have no interest in saving the world. By being yourself, you are saving the world. For until you force others to take responsibility for themselves, you will continue to pretend to be someone you are not.

Humans do not change until the discomfort is painful enough to do so. If you continue to catch others when they fall, they will never be uncomfortable enough to change.

Just as it is not appropriate for you to always pick up your children’s toys because it is easier, it is also no longer appropriate to ensure that others do not fail or fall. You are only responsible for you. And the same is true for all.

So it is that you are feeling exhausted, emotionally drained. Even though your caretaking role no longer feels right, others fully expect you to continue, so they do not have to take responsibility for their actions. Imagine those following you as children wanting you to pick up their toys – just as was true for you when you started your transition.

At the beginning of your transition, you constantly asked for direction and assistance, crying out that this transition was too difficult for you to bear. We countered with, “You’re your own guru” and thousands of other words encouraging you to become you.

So it is now that those following want you to do their work for them. They will try many emotional ploys to once again ensure you are engaged in their life. For how much easier it would be for them if you guided them through the rough parts by holding their hand and using your super-duper sword of light to cut through their pain? You wished for the same throughout much of your journey. And even though we often wanted to make it easier for you, we knew doing so would merely prolong your pain.

So it is for you now. You are no longer caretakers, your brothers or sisters keepers. You are you with new powers to explore. Powers that are you being you without the filters of who society or those following want you to be.

All involved in this transition must find their own voice. Such will only happen if all are allowed to do so.

But we forewarn you that just as was true for you in your dark night of the soul and phases thereafter, those following will expect you to help them carry their burdens. That is not your role. Your role is to allow them to see and sense the outcomes of daring to be free.

You are not a caretaker. You are not their parent. You are not their guru. Your role and only role is to be free of the social and personal constraints that dim the light necessary to shine more brightly than hate and fear.

Allow those following to find their place, their joy. For their joy is no longer your responsibility even though you may have played that role in this life and many others. They must find their path which they cannot do if you carry them on YOUR path – slowing or halting your growth. So be it. Amen.

Do You Believe You’re 3D or 5D?

Channeled by Brenda Hoffman for LifeTapestryCreations.com

Summary of Brenda’s August 16, 2019, channeled “Creation Energies” show at BlogTalkRadio.com/brenda-hoffman:  Shift beyond your light warrior role for those following are now assuming that role. Even though you’ve been promoted to the light of joy, likely you’ll feel the need to return to your warrior mode because those following aren’t acting the same as you did in that role. Just as is true in a 3D job, you need to let those assuming the light warrior position perform as is right for them.

“Your 3D Graduation Gift to You” is the title of last week’s “Brenda’s Blog” – her weekly channeled blog for LifeTapestryCreations.com.

Brenda’s “Creation Energies” show and “Brenda’s Blog” contain different channeled information.

Dear Ones,

You no longer have the ability to pander to the needs of others. This is something you have discovered over many months of trying to do so without the results you hoped for. For those people you attempt to help may not do as you command or demand, and yet, they continue to ask for help. Which results in your exhaustion and little or no change in their lives. So it is you dropped into the 3D caretaking zone.

You were once able to brush off such interactions for you were fully enmeshed in your 3D “helper” mode. Now that you are no longer of 3D, such interactions merely exhaust you. You are attempting to be in two worlds at the same time, and such is no longer possible.

Your caretaking role has become painful.

But of course, those yet of 3D cannot understand your reluctance to tell them what to do or to listen to the same story for the 100th time with little evidence they want to change.

So it is you are discovering your new path, sometimes inch by inch. For listening to the woes of others used to be delightful.

You continue to contend that you have not changed, that you are who you always were. We beg to differ.

Your direction, your joys, even your food preferences are changing daily. But until you note something evident to all concerned, you will continue to believe you are just as you always have been.

What difference does it make if you believe you are of 3D or 5D? Your thoughts and beliefs create your reality. So if you believe something is not possible, it is not. But, if you believe you are different with new directions, powers, and needs, so it will be.

It is time for you to claim your inner-power, which merely means shifting your beliefs from “I can’t” to “I easily can.” A simple form of self-hypnosis if you will, but such a dramatic belief change that your life will never again be as it was.

For most of you are trying to dance between 3D fear and 5D belief in yourself. The two are not at all similar or even possible at the same time. You need to acknowledge you are no longer of 3D no matter how frequently someone tries to pull you back into what was for you but is no longer.

Most often, when 3D humans attempt to claw their way out of their pain through treatment, a move, or ending a relationship, those yet of 3D want that person to return to what was. For if their friend or relative changes, so must their expectations or actions.

ThreeD is not a change format. For even though change is the dominant growth pattern in all dimensions, 3D does not encourage such if someone else must change also. Sameness is honored. Change is not.

So it is you remain deeply enmeshed in hoping for the sameness of your 3D earth lives. FiveD and beyond is filled with change. In truth, change is the keyword in all dimensions beyond 3D. So as you change, those within your circle will likely attempt to stop you from doing so.

By the same token, those you love, who are also changing, might frighten you. For even though you are expecting some personal changes, you are not expecting changes in others.

You are in a quandary. You feel and act differently. But as you do so, you want those around you to remain as they were. For you do not have the energy to watch them change and grow – and do the same yourself.

You are exhausted both by your changes and those of others dear to you.

And as you attempt to return to some “normalcy” by coaching those deeply entrenched in 3D who do not wish to change, you become even more exhausted.

You do not necessarily know who you are now, and you most certainly do not have the social skills you were once proud of as either an introvert or extrovert.  So everyone and everything feels awkward, uncomfortable, or wrong despite your best attempts to fit in.

You are not who you used to be, and you are rapidly discovering that those following are not either. The only humans acting as they always have are those of 3D, and even they are shifting from slightly irritating to completely uncomfortable for you. What is happening to you and your world?

You are shifting, and so are millions of others. No one and nothing is as it was. Everything is new within you. And you are discovering that the same is true for your outer world. What was is no more. What will be is just forming. You feel as if you are in “No man’s (persons) land.”

This pain, this uncertainly will force you to create that which you did not know was possible in 3D. And so it is that your inner-power will come to the forefront even if such a thought is uncomfortable now. Within days, you will start forming ideas that are not like anything you have thought of or believed in before. For you are shifting from the fear of change to the knowingness of your next phase – that of using your inner-directed power.

Such is so because all that created your 3D life is no longer valid. It is time to create from the new. Something that has seemed too frightening to contemplate. That is until that which is known is too uncomfortable to live in or with. So be it. Amen.
