reception & broadcasting

"humans are designed to be excellent receptors."

millie shows me something that feels like an antenna, but is shaped like a vessel, and is made of gold, which translates to high quality.


"you all do it, you just don't do it consciously.  remember the 'vibe' you got from that waiter who seemed perfectly friendly on the surface, but you just knew somehow they were irritated?  that's reception.  what about the many times your phone has rung and you knew who was calling before you looked?  that's reception.  the gut feeling you have about someone when you meet them?  reception.  everyone does it, animals and humans.  the time your normally friendly dog barked at the delivery guy?  reception.


*trust* it.  it has always worked for you, whether you were aware of it or not.  becoming more aware will help to guide you.  be conscious of that little voice in your head, that feeling in your gut, it will not lie to you."

I asked millie if this was in response to my friend's question about animal communication, or about my own thoughts when she talked about evil people yesterday.  she said

"both."

so, if we aren't meant to interact with disturbed or evil people, this will help us to know to avoid them?

"exactly."

what about broadcasting?


"humans are also excellent broadcasters.  you are very loud, in fact.  all of us, animals and people alike, are constantly broadcasting our energy signature -- it's like an energetic fingerprint, very distinctive -- that is what we 'read' when we receive information about someone.


humans also loudly broadcast their thoughts and emotions.  that is why it is somewhat difficult for you to hear the animals.  we are not so loud.  to hear us, you must quiet yourself first."

this takes practice, I'm guessing.

"yes.  but you can all learn to do it."

she walked away.  I think I've got it.  thank you, mil.

judgment

"judgment is also based in expectation, in a certain picture of how things should be, how people should act.  when you let go of expectation, you let go of judgment.


everyone is walking their path, doing their thing, being themselves, just like you are.  let them.  you are all here with different life plans, different lessons - give each other the space to learn them.


the actions of others are generally not personal to you unless you make them so.  you can choose not to make them so.  your own actions are generally motivated by your internal structure - the way you move through your life, meeting your needs as well as you can.  others are doing the same.


there are humans on the planet who are chronically unpleasant, or troubled, or evil.  that has to do with the lessons they are here to learn, with the soul contracts they have made in order to move through their experience here according to their higher plan.  most of them have no contract or agreement with you, and their effect on your life is fleeting and superficial.  let it be fleeting.  let it be superficial.  


don't internalize the unpleasantness of others.  that is their path."


I flinched about the word 'evil.'  millie says that part of free will is the ability to choose dark over light.  and some do.  and that is okay.

"everything is possible, all the time.  we have all experimented with dark and light.  that is how  we know our preference."

clarification

the ideas and feelings come from millie.  the words (most of them) are my interpretation, my attempt to explain what she sends me.  she's pretty good about letting me know when my words don't match her ideas.

is this for real?

someone asked me yesterday if I was sure 'this stuff' was coming from millie, how did I know it wasn't coming from me.  it's hard to explain how I know, exactly, it's just that I know my thoughts and I am familiar with myself, and I don't *think* like this.  it feels like I just open a space in my head and and the words come in, or flow out, I guess is a better way to say it.

and then there's the physical interaction.  millie climbs on my chest to let me know she has something to say.  she sits on the desk, in front of the computer, while I am receiving the message.  she moves to the window when she thinks I've 'got it' - the whole concept, the big picture.  she comes back to the desk if I need a little clarification or help.  I don't always get it right the first time.  then she goes away, usually to her heated bed, when she's finished.

yes, I am sure this is coming from the cat.  call me crazy, I don't care, millie is teaching me to speak my truth by helping her speak hers.

permission

"walk in forgiveness.  walk in love.  annoyance is based in expectation.  release your expectations of others.  if you expect nothing in particular, then you will never be surprised, you will never be disappointed.


allow others to be themselves.  if their behavior does not suit you, meet them with honesty.


but let there be love behind your honesty.  love for yourself and others.  love yourself enough to set boundaries you are comfortable with.  love others enough to allow them permission to be themselves.  if their behavior requires them to remain outside of your boundaries, so be it.  this can be a negotiation in love.  it does not need to be anything darker.


release the expectations.  allow the love.  give permission.  treat every encounter with another as the adventure it rightfully is.  be an explorer.  be brave.  be love."

incredible cat.  thank you, millie.

what makes your soul dance?

"there are likely many things that make your soul dance.  early mist rising from the water.  fresh snow on the branches.  a dramatic thunder and lightning storm.  the way your dog stretches when she sees you.  your cat's purr.  small things and large things, they are all around you.


humans tend to focus on the things that bring you down, the things that stress you out or make you sad.  there are many more moments of joy, the only thing lacking is your attention and focus.  


give less attention to the moments that bring you down.  let them pass without contributing your energy.


focus on the moments that make your soul dance!"

thank you, millie.

expectations

more of millie's answer to the question about relationships and change.

"you are the only one who can meet your needs.  if someone else appears to be meeting your needs, it is because your needs intersect.


love without expectation.  walk your path in love and be confident that you can meet your own needs.


expecting others to do a certain thing, act a certain way, be or think a certain way is a pathway to pain.  expectations are of the dark, not of the light.  


know that each interaction with another is an expression of a gift, an offer of love.  let that be your river, a river of gifts and love.  float and be free.


when you run into an expectation that someone has thrown in your path, give what you are willing, love if you are able, float through or fly over the expectation as if it isn't really there, because it isn't.


there is no power in the expectations of others apart from what you give them."

thank you, millie.
