January, 2024

Happy New Year and greetings and good afternoon from the frosty, beautiful Bitterroot Valley.  It is picture-perfect-postcard gorgeous here!  I told my daughter last month that I was thinking of moving to a warmer climate, but hesitate since I’m getting older and don’t want to make things complicated for her as I age.  She responded, “Momma, you move where you want and live your life where you would be happy.  If things change and you needed me, I’ll move you back to Montana and maybe you’ll be senile and forget how much you hate the cold.”  Whatta kid, eh?!

            I hope you all had wonderful holidays surrounded by friends and family.  I also hope you are ready for some great positive changes for humanity.  I don’t know if you can feel it like I do, it’s “in the air” of great good for the collective.  Can you FEEL IT?!  It is exciting! 

            I was going to add just then, “we all signed up for this exciting time in the evolution of consciousness for humanity” and I giggled to myself.  Not everyone is on the same wave length and I understand.  One of my local members for the group I host monthly here in Stevensville was muttering under his breath at my garage sale.  It was like he forgot that my two friends and myself were even sitting there and overhearing him mumble. 

            He sat with folded hands, looking down towards his lap as he began softly muttering aloud.  “Spiritual people have told me that I signed up for this.  But I don’t recall agreeing to have a lesbian daughter whom I will never be able to walk down the aisle and I’ll never get grandkids.  It isn’t bad enough that she left that woman and is now marrying a different one because I won’t get to walk her down the aisle for this wedding either.  I don’t remember signing up for this and maybe I’m just not spiritually evolved enough to understand this shit.” 

            I get it!  It is difficult to believe that I “signed up” for some of the things that I’ve experienced, too.  Nevertheless, it has all led me to now and WOW, I feel like we are sitting on the precipice of the long-promised New World of a higher consciousness.

            For the last few weeks, my understanding has increased of how I will be teaching in the days to come.  As spiritual seekers, we throw the word, “Oneness” into conversations…but do we truly understand the immensity of that word?

            Using myself as an example, two months ago, I was undergoing a great lesson with a long-time friend who wasn’t demonstrating integrity with me.  He continued to promise to deliver my cords of wood, but never following through.  I paid for it more than a year ago and yet he delivered 210 loads pridefully to the Valley, living on my property freely, and delaying me repeatedly.  I was in a quandary.  I am not a victim, I am overcoming lifetime co-dependency and people pleasing, but I really meditated and continued to assure myself that I wanted to handle the situation in a spiritual manner.

            I lost sleep.  I bit my tongue.  I swallowed my anger. I did all the human things we tend to do when we are in a spiraling cycle of disharmony.

            I shine and glitter on most days, but I can also sparkle and go to fire-cracker when push comes to shove.  When the situation is in my face and I get backed up against the wall, my iron fist can come out when I recall my boundaries.  I did it kindly, without anger or any further frustration that I would hurt his feelings.  I expressed the truth, “Since you can’t put me first, I will.  I am asking you to vacate my property.”

            In my fear of not having wood on the ground, I took a walk into my back yard.  Instead of placing my thoughts on not having wood – I took a look around at the small amount I had left from last year.  I focused my full attention on what I DO HAVE, rather on what I don’t have.  I affirmed the Truth, “I don’t depend upon man, nor earth, to sustain me.  I depend on Infinite Spirit’s love.”

            Within an hour, I received a call from a member of my monthly gathering.  She asked if I would be home later that day so she and her husband could stop by.  I told her I was available any time that day.  I received a call from another member who said he had gone into my backyard following the last Gathering and noticed that I had some wood that needed split, offering to come over and do it for me.  I received a call an hour later from one of my Miracle Healing Ministry Board of Directors in California.  She mentioned that I had a check waiting for me at the Post Office…she had already mailed me a large donation to pay for my wood this year.  Bing/Bang/Bong.

            Raylene and Walter arrived at dark with a truckload of wood to surprise me, Mike split my wood, and Linda paid for it.  All that occurred because God already knew before me that He had it covered.  My mantra, for years, has been “I have everything I need, usually before I know I need it.”

            As a human, I sometimes tend to get caught in the drama of daily living and I attempt to be gentle with my reminders of why healing occurs through me.  When we think, “If I have wood….that would be good.  If I don’t have wood…that would be bad.”  The good and bad keeps me trapped in the human state of consciousness of duality.  When I realized that everything I need is already within me and just needs to express itself outwardly, without the judgments of good and bad, the solution was met.  If I look to “outside myself” for anything or trying to direct whom my good comes through, I am setting up resistance.  I have to go within or I will go without.

            Human good.  Everyone encourages that behavior.  (It is more fun to be around than bad behavior, right?!  Maybe….and maybe not if you are attempting to live in a spiritually conscious atmosphere.)  I have expressed human goodness throughout my life and its reward is appreciation from people, but it doesn’t advance me spiritually-speaking.  Oh sure, people like me when they get what they want and when they don’t, I’m a dirty bird in their eyes and opinion.  I have to remember that only God is GOOD to rise above the human good and bad judgments and therein lies Oneness.  God Is.

            Nothing is set in stone for our 2024, it is a to-each-their-own consciousness expanding experience.  In my humble opinion, I believe that grounding will be one of our most valuable assets, especially if the energies start becoming overwhelming.

            We have each been prepared for this time, ramping up in 2024 to sparkle even more in 2025!

            When people contact me to heal them or their loved ones,  they are requesting from a trained human state of consciousness “to fix the problem,” to change it from illness to health (like I’m a medical doctor, which I am NOT.)  Of course, that can happen and we call it a miracle…but if we are just exchanging a human illness into human health, we are still in the duality of the human state of consciousness.  Health, on the pendulum of duality can soon swing back into another illness.  We have to rise above the pairs of opposites to the spiritual state of consciousness, which allows His Grace to eradicate the impersonal thought form from the collective mortal mind to reflect the Divinity/Oneness within their soul.

            Wow, that was a mouthful…I will have to work on that before I teach a class on this information!

            When I was five-years old, sitting in the front pew of our small-town church in South Dakota, listening to the Minister speak…I knew that what he was saying was false.  Even as a child, it didn’t resonate with me.  I looked at the picture of Jesus on the wall before me and I knew that He knew that I wasn’t buying the message that morning.  At age 14, I walked away from organized religion, never believing there was a devil.  Perhaps I came in from a past life with the strengths of being a spiritual healer and just needed to be reminded?

            In my first workshop in Spokane in 1995, I asked the audience to write names of loved ones (or enemies) on an envelope to send home with me, offering “job security” of having someone to love.  When I returned home, I placed those envelopes on my chest and rubbed my hands together and prepared to open myself to the Presence of God.  I heard Him speak, “Gloria, you are NOT healing 500 people today, you are healing ONE BELIEF THAT THERE IS A POWER IN OPPOSITION TO ME.”  In that moment of healing my mind of the belief in a good power overcoming a bad power of illnesses of those I held on my heart, I felt the shift in my awareness.  I felt the Power and Presence of God as it revealed the perfection across the miles to those who were open and receptive.

            I find myself, daily, no longer looking for human good in any form, nor trying to dispel darkness or bad human behavior.  I stay in my own lane.  I mind my own business.  I haven’t watched Mainstream News since 2020, but I no longer watch Independent Journalists on the computer.  I go within with my Direct Contact and He lets me know everything I need to be aware of in my personal bubble.  I am at peace with myself and with my world.

            When I see good in any form of people being kind and loving, the gratitude goes to God, for ONLY He is GOOD (without an opposite.).  My Oneness with God constitutes my Oneness with all spiritual beings, creations, and ideas.  I find myself attracting what is meant for my highest good, without a polar opposite experience/lesson.  Life is so much easier on the Mystical Path!

            A dear elder friend sent me a handwritten Christmas greeting on the back of a piece of paper.  There was a one-liner on the back, with no credit to who had written these words.  Regretfully, I can’t give credit to the author of the words…but regardless, I must share them with you today for their importance in your 2024:

The God who spoke the world into being, who split the Red Sea, who raised

Jesus from the dead, is the same God living in every person belonging to Him.

I am praying His power works mightily in you today…

            To complete this column today, I am reminded of a small piece of paper I handed out at my workshops in my beginning years.  We are taught to Seek ye first the Kingdom of Heaven and all else will be added.  We are then guided to the realization that the Kingdom of Heaven is within.  For years, I have taught people how to go within.

            The simple words on my hand-out said, “Don’t seek health and things.  Seek Oneness and you’ll have health and things.  Herein, my friends, is the key to open the doors to your Spiritual Consciousness, allowing His Power to be realized through you…  Happy New Year!  Are YOU ready (and willing) for it to be HAPPY?!

            Until next month, take care…I care…

Now and always,

Gloria D. Benish, Ph.D.
