Clarifying To Transcend And To Transmute
I’ve been asked questions to clarify the terms to transcend and to transmute and tips for applying them in your life? These words hold different meaning yet they get used interchangeably.
Transmuting is a chemical change that takes place, a total change, a total chemical change that takes place in the body and you become a different person, a different being.
When you transcend something you go through it from one experience to the next. And transcendental work is when you go from one step to the next step, to the next step, to the next step.
But when something is transmuted there’s a complete alchemy, a total change into a totally different being.
Transcending is not taking an over-view about things. Transcending is when you go from step to step. You go higher and higher. But transmuting is when you do it all at once.
What happens chemically in the transmutation process? The brain chemical changes to begin with. The brain cells, they seem to all of a sudden take on a new reality and they become the total servant of the mind. They no longer have their programming. All the programming disappears. The eons of programming, the past, is dead. It becomes totally annihilated, and you become a new person, an expansive person.
Is this purely a chemical change? It’s a chemical change in the beginning. Is it both chemical and spiritual? Really it’s the same thing. The brain surrenders to the mind, so-to-speak. The entire programming of the brain gives up to the mind…lets go. All the circuits become unusable. It also affects the body too. There’s no substantialness to it at all. Yes. It has no substance. That’s transmutation.
People have said to me, There are many times when I remember something, yet I don’t know if it happened yesterday, or if it happened twenty years ago, or if it happened many life times ago. But sometimes certain things come to me and I wonder where they came from. Everything becomes combined and becomes one.
Do you just ignore them when they arise? When they occur just watch them. Watch them going past? Be the witness to your thoughts.
One of the beatitudes says, “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God,” If the heart is the center of the being, and if it’s pure, there are no contaminants in it, and the contaminants in the heart would be any thought, and if there’s no thought, at that point God can be experienced, and then we have to go into what that phrase “blessed are the pure in heart” means? It would mean pure consciousness, or Atman, or Brahman or whatever other word might be put to the ultimate reality.
Actually what the Beatitude means is when you are pure in heart you are one with God. You become the absolute reality.
I question. It would be nice…Except it’s already so!! Is that not correct? It is correct!
People say, I have a hard time relating to this, but would the real Me be the Self? The real You is the Self! This is a truth. Which means it is unchangeable. It is a reality we can grasp and realize about ourselves.
Then how would you see me? I would see you as energy and as part of the oneness of all things? As spirit, as reality!
Something in me would have grasped you as the real person, as the real you within, which is myself. A person awakens, because you become what you saw. The Real Truth, seeing everyone as the God Within.
And that really changes the course of humanity…one person at a time to the tipping point!
‘The past, present and future are projected from the stateless quiet state, the transcendental. You start to witness what is going on, without getting hooked into the play, the drama of your life. You begin to ask to whom do these thoughts come? Then answer…they come to me. Well who am I? In asking and often re-asking these questions each day; we start to see the truth and the illusions of reality. I have a body, but I’m not my body, I’m not my thoughts, and I’m not my emotions. I am greater than these. In the quiet state you can gain perspective and awareness about your life.
You become the witness to your thoughts instead of reacting to your thoughts all the time. You start to see these thoughts as on a cinema screen and you’re not affected by all the daily negativity. The goal is to center in the heart to gain peace, and in that quietness of heart, and from self inquiry, (to whom do these thoughts come); you can obtain the answers to make the correct moves for your life.
A heart guided approach is always superior to the minds answers to your questions. If you’ve been asking your mind for answers…and if your mind knew all the answers you seek, wouldn’t you have gotten the answers you been searching for by now? In order to experience the Divine answers; which are inside of you, you have to be out of the realm of the mind…thinking, into consciousness, pure awareness.
It takes retraining, patience, and a desire to make the mind quiet. But you are the boss of your mind! You have forgotten that you are in charge…and you let the mind take over too often, when heart centered actions would give you the best outcomes with less stress.
The choice of transcending and transmuting comes to each of us. You have opportunities to leap forward no matter what’s going on in your life right now.
In Clarity,

“Courage is being scared to death..but saddling up anyway“. John Wayne
Have you reacted negatively when someone “pushed your buttons”? Or have you had the intention of approaching a stressful situation in your life with clarity and courageousness, but… as soon as you opened your mouth all the wrong stuff came out? What that means is, despite your best intentions, your ego is calling all the shots. That’s stress!!! It’s time to take back your control.
Another hit we get is when we don’t experience feeling secure; which shows up as NEVER reaching being healthy and happy. This is one of the two areas that determine WHO you believe you are. Everything in your life is determined by who you believe you are, and what you feel you are not.
The WRONG belief for this problem is, I’m not okay with myself, or I won’t be okay if this or that happens. The negative emotions are rejection, hurt, and fear. I have never known any person
with a significant problem, that did not have a rejection issue. Some psychosomatic disorders can occur from these problems. Just a few examples of these disorders are: Stress, hopelessness, non-realistic approach in life, mental fogginess, less confidence.
Much goes wrong when you’re off course feeling these disorders and negative emotions as just stated above. We forget our abilities and act from I don’t know, I can’t figure it out, how do I do it? It it futile to keep asking over and over again the same questions to your mind. If it knew the answers you would have had the answer already. You must go beyond the mind/ego to create balance and have your desires come into your reality.
A quote from the Universe that I love that sums this up so beautifully states:
“Dreams come true, that’s what they do. The only variable is when.
For the slow approach: Resist. Attach. Insist. Deny. Stop. Second guess. Whine. Argue. Defend. Protest. Cry. Struggle. And ask others, when you know the answer yourself.
For the quick approach: Visualize. Pretend. Prepare. Dodge. Roll. Serpentine. Do not waiver over intentions, but over methods. Show up, even when nothing happens. And give thanks in advance.
You knew that, The Universe” Mike Dooley, TUT.
The central nervous system – is the primary control system in the body for everything in your physical being. When you are calm and not erratic with your emotions (which reeks havoc on your nervous system) you can make better decisions. You’ll be more able and ready to take the ‘quick approach‘
Actor Jason Statham said: “Good judgement comes from experience and a lot of that comes from bad judgement”.
What we are all going towards in this life is: what can change lifetimes of puzzle pieces so we can clearly achieve the outcome of awareness…that allows the puzzle pieces to fall into place.”
Sharing deep insights that can break one free of their afflictions and beliefs in being tied to tribal or collective bonds; are the illusionary rules of what is thought of as the matrix of reality. A trust and knowing about “Source Self” will unshackle your co-creative abilities in a profound way. Trust in one’s self first will then produce trust in the right people that will assist your life in your endeavors.
By allowing yourself to get clear and be aware of what’s happening in and around you then
you can begin to see what has been hidden in plain sight …. right before your very eyes. Initially, cognitive dissonance and disbelief may ensue as new evidence (your new realizations) runs headstrong into outdated and stubborn beliefs. We tend to fight to keep that which doesn’t serve us in an attempt to feel secure. We do a lot of this unconsciously. By stating to yourself that you want to become clear, to know and to clarify to yourself, those outmoded patterns; shows your willingness to change and grow. Taking on this forward motion in your life brings about more self authenticity, honesty, and courage that can only bring about a happier life.
Masculine power, is the power to create things that can be controlled, Feminine Power is the power to manifest that which is beyond your control, including those things that your heart most yearns for: intimacy, creative expression, authentic community, harmony and sync with others, meaningful contribution, living your life’s purpose, authentic success and spiritual development.
Lack of confidence and fear of the future reek havoc with the mind/ego running the show. Should you become flexible enough to push aside the ego and you open your heart, beliefs can be upgraded to embrace powerful and revealing perspectives on Consciousness…(which is Infinite Intelligence, The God of your understanding); which will replace the life you are living now into a new light. That’s when you start on your new road.
In your old misunderstandings, you can be so close and yet so far. But when you begin the journey into a new higher level of transformation, you are like a child embracing the profound truth that deep down, you realize that what you have always been connected to, you can never separate yourself from. This is Source Intelligence, pure positive energy, truth and wisdom.
At this point you will have to work within that new understanding where growing pains may arise. That really is a gift. This gift stretches us, but it is the way we evolve. This is where the expression no pain, no gain, comes from. We are ever evolving beings. That is our human way.
The most positive direction for ones life is to see the truth of Consciousness in a new way. Live a new yet very old truth that of who you really are. Claim your birthright! We haven’t been taught to claim what is true for us. Many that we looked up to didn’t know how to to this as well. We come to these truths through growing pains. We have had family, society, education, tell us what to do and how to do it. In a very outward focused world; we can lose sight of our real nature within as well as with one of our greatest teachers, “Nature herself”
The opportunity comes to all of us many times to make that decision forward. If you don’t accept it; you go backwards and have to begin again from where you are and crawl back up from there. Because of this many of us come around and around to the same point or place in our lives with no forward progress. So we keep on going over the same problems until we say we have had enough and chose to do something different to reap different results.
To push forward and transcend is a standard in life. It’s how God pulls the strings of evolution. This can not be bypassed without taking a toll on ones physical and mental/emotional health, producing psychosomatic disorders.
We have free will to keep the old outdated ways or take the plunge into the unknown out of your comfort zone. You can become lazy and lethargic, and stuck on a boring merry-go-round never really accomplishing or giving of your talents. You may not even like yourself and therefore have lack of confidence issues. Small steps forward will lead to good results if you stay the course and not allow yourself to slip backwards when the going gets a little unsettling. What is emerging is a wiser higher version of yourself. Your experience and knowledge is worth a great deal. Feel good and honor yourself for taking the ride. You are developing and learning to incorporate these new states of being into your tool box for achieving happiness in your life. Experience is the greatest teacher and will serve you well as you live your life. It is said that life is a journey not a destination…Life is a constant journey of exploration. To live a meaningful life is to feel more secure, confident and happy. It’s also about the wealth you feel within which is your Inner Gold. And if you have read along this far…I know you are up for the task!
This can be your time to claim your upgrade and increase abundance in all areas of your life. This is a knowing deepening energy, not a dreaming imagining. This change forward is what starts turning your life around and places your life back on track.
Growing pains are at every stage of ones development; and we are forever changing beings. When things are constantly boring you might be ready for another stage of your life to begin. Begin upward-higher, accept and take the change. You must have courage and patience to see the new level within yourself grow and develop. If you decline your growth; then sad to say, you start again at stage one at the beginning again. The merry-go-round is a boring ride to continually play. Have the courage to move on to find your Inner Gold … recognize the good coming your way. Many times it shows up in disguise as something you don’t like occurring in your life. Look for the silver lining. It’s there!

The Seductive Part of Charm
Have you ever been around someone who is just the most wonderful person you’ve ever met to only find out down the road that you were duped, and that they have been a fake all along. I’m referring to people that you have put your faith and trust in them with your mission or cause, who were just a deck of cards, a house built of sand, a three dollar bill. You know that there were threads of truth that made them seem believable, they captured your interest, and maybe even your attention, love and approval. The areas of business, stock market fraud, politics, money, and relationships have been trouble areas for being easily taken. Our ego and need to have that situation or person be what they say they are, and the person you really wanted them to be, gets you into the mess, and you find out later, maybe after it’s too late, who that individual was in disguise. When it comes to money you are just as devastated, because you have identified with your money as who you are, which is not the real you. Many people identify themselves with their money and possessions. You are not your money or your bank account. You are that Inner Gold, inside you. The real you is the inner Source inside you, your guidance. When you don’t know who you really are, you can much more easily get caught up into what I term, ‘the seductive part of charm’. To say the least it’s a nasty twist and turn of events.
Bernard Madoff is an example of the seductive part of charm. He was a former American businessman, stockbroker, investment advisor, and financier. Madoff was the former non-executive chairman of the NASDAQ stock market. He turned his wealth management business into the Ponzi scheme that defrauded thousands of investors of billions of dollars. Madoff’s, Ponzi scheme took the world by surprise. His scheme is considered the largest financial fraud in U.S. history. The business world allowed Bernie Madoff to continue with him scam, even when some people were working for many years to uncover his scheme, and stop him. People didn’t want to believe it. Many considered Madoff to be on their side, and that he was such a great nice guy. There are a lot of nice people in our world, but not all nice men and/or women, is it wise to deal with. Unfortunately without discernment, lust, that gotta have or be a part of it feeling, takes hold. There are many other people in the world with similar qualities like Madoff, cropping up from all walks of life and some you might even know right now in your life.
It’s insidious when this happens from religious and other spiritual teachers; those that are here to “guide” us along our paths. We even send them money to fund their churches and causes. You may have even experienced similar situations in your own family or circle of friends. They could even be a well written published author on stocks, or making money, or on any area of life as well. These con artists may be very talented in their field and tell you things you want to hear. When you trust someone you would not even think, or dream, that person would have affected your life any way but for the better, the positive, and you find out over time that they were not authentic at all. And you got hurt! Guru’s of any type can pose great problems.
The pain of thinking that scenario could even be possible, is worse than seeing the truth about that person. So you deny it, or won’t even allow yourself to go there. The thoughts that this could be true, would beat you up, drive you crazy, so you look the other way. You make excuses and say that he/she would never do that to me. Maybe to somebody else, but I don’t care, they would not do that to me! You start making excuses and judgments about that person and resist the possibility to see into the situation, hoping the whole thing would just go away, die down, or dissolve. You may never really want to know the truth, which could shake your world, so you don’t bother discriminating. You just sweep it away with short curt statements, because of the shock you’ve experienced: leave me alone, don’t bother me with that again, or I for one, am sticking by that person this has to be a lie. But the scary thing is the lie is really the truth of it all and somehow it’s going to be found out and a come down will happen from the truth revealed.
If you were innocently taken this can be prevented from happening again; by being responsible for what has shown up in your life. You don’t have to like what happened to you, but responsibility is a quality that we will all be hearing about in 2012. Make a decision to allow your self a new outlook on life. Put the past aside. It’s over. Spilled milk. You may be able to get back what you have lost from a new start. Look at what you’ve learned from the experiences without blame or guilt, that never works, and look to your inner guidance system for answers without rushing, and then move forward.
We are all going through the stages of becoming more aware of what we do in life as we evolve. This is the way of evolving ourselves and our planet. In regards to the seductive part of charm; maybe you just wanted to believe in something more, someone different or something that was important to you at the time to hold on to. Be honest with yourself. Give your inner knowing the opportunity to guide you. It’s waiting for your lead. In 2012 we will find more disclosure, integrity, and authenticity coming forward. Some of this will arise from events or situations that will be uncovered. Making yourself believe something because you want to believe it is lying to yourself. Being seduced by charm is a fake, whose hold on you can be lessened when you’re not wrapped up in the lust of emotion.
In 2012 it’s a time of manifesting your abundance. Just have some clarity before making choices. The grass is not always greener on the other side. If it looks too good to be true, take it for checking. We are to be wealthy, healthy and have all the good we choose while on Earth. Learn to trust yourself. Look into your own self, your heart or gut feelings, before jumping leaping into what you hope it should be. When we judge another we judge ourselves, but you can always be more discriminating. Clearing out the negative emotions will help you to discern much better.
You know that over excited feeling, that gotta gotta have it feeling? That’s a big part of what we call lust and what lust can do. You may have trusted in the person and situation, but you also wanted to believe in them for whatever reason. That wanting feeling was the need you have to believe the lie is true. Have the abundance and authentic relationships. Look with your heart/gut, not to the outer appearances. Looks can be deceiving. If you choose once, you can choose again. 2012 is a time when the stuff held repressed within us and not being worked on, comes up and out for evaluation. Clarity of intent and purpose, will be revealed, and made visible as never before in our world globally and personally.
Your life situations will become better and more harmonious, and as you release the past, you will start to feel lighter and happier. Sometimes this requires some assistance getting yourself to feel like you’re ready to reach and begin again. As you start this momentum rolling in your favor, ask your self, ‘Could it get any better…could I let go and find out? And more, and even more.
To Your Inner Gold and Abundance,
Linda Crane
