@Paula Walter, @Rob Payne, @Brian Criswell, @Beverly Romero, @Alty Bear Please tell us about yourselves. What do you do, what would you like to do if you had the resources to do it?

Whether a person is a seasoned practitioner or just starting to notice strange coincidences, these questions explore the "Savant" phenomenon that many of us experience. Please feel free to jump in and choose one or more questions to answer! This is an extension of the classroom Talking on Mastery and Savants Join the Discussion: 1. Why do some people arrive with a natural mastery that others spend decades trying to achieve? 2. Does the idea of pulling skills from a parallel version of the same soul resonate as a way to explain "unearned" expertise? 3. Is the purpose of some individuals simply to exist as an energetic anchor rather than to pursue traditional achievements? 4. What did that initial moment feel like when a spiritual gift or piece of information suddenly manifested without any prior study? 5. Does anyone have a hilarious cat meme that captures the chaos of a massive energetic download?

When we choose to perform the same act of creation an innocent child would, we have to shift mindsets to that of a child. This "child's magic" is not a lack of depth; it is a sophisticated state of being where the heart is open enough to see the world as vibrant, alive, and populated by sovereign souls. Invoking this magic requires moving past adult skepticism and into a space where integrity and faith create the necessary frequency for creation. -The Vision of the Child: To begin, you must view the world through a lens where everything has a soul. This shift allows you to recognize a companion not as an object, but as a friend who exists in the unseen world and is waiting for a face to look through. -Invoking Grace: By approaching this with the innocence of a child combined with the integrity of an adult, you call in "Grace." This is the power that bridges the gap between the material and the spiritual, allowing a simple act of creation to become a profound anchor for the spirit. This grace is the adult version of innocence. We can only claim this because we fought for it. We shifted from "I want" and I need" to "I am" to This is Mine." When we hit the mine stage, we recognize that we are worthy. We are in alignment with our higher self and Source. This is hard to do normally. Inviting in Grace into our imaginary friend, so they can feed us, bypasses that limit a bit. Imagination serves as a vital bridge that leads away from a harsh reality and into a sanctuary where healing begins. A gentle invitation is now open for any protective spirit that truly wants to come in and offer help. -The Choice to Stay: This new companion only stays if it chooses to be there, residing within a doll, a soft plushie, or even a smooth stone. Only that which an innocent child is allowed to play with may take on this form, as every creation must follow the laws of authentic innocence. -Claiming Your Grace: Innocence is a power that can be claimed at any moment, much like a child saying, "I have." Imagine sewing this grace into your new friend, allowing them to anchor your spirit in a safe reality and filter out the heavy, inherited somatic baggage passed down through generations.

To start our journey of reframing those heavy moments, this first exercise is all about finding and sharing your "Main Happy." The heart of this is to help you craft a creative shield—something to bypass the pain and pull your focus back toward joy. It probably won't work perfectly or exactly the way we planned, but we will likely get a good laugh out of the effort. This is also a beautiful chance for us to see the creative ways everyone else handles their own challenges.​ Exercise: Declare Your Happy: Sharing your Happy is a simple, public declaration of what brings you a spark of genuine joy or helps distract you when life feels a bit too heavy. This could be a favorite character, a hobby that calms you, a pet, or even a silly joke that breaks up a cycle of grief.​​ -Visual Evidence: Share up to three pictures or videos of your "Happy" in the comments below so we can see what it looks like.​ -The Narrative: Tell us a little bit about how this special thing acts as a filter for whatever you’re walking through right now. Building Our Community Shield: Connecting with each other is such a vital part of healing, and it gives us a chance to learn from the diverse shields everyone has built. Liking and responding to the "Happies" shared by others helps us all build a collective defense against force-fed trauma. Engaging here also helps you grow within our group:​ -Unlock Content: Liking and responding to your friends here is how you gain points and move forward.​ -Level Up: Being active together unlocks more advanced lessons and exclusive content in our classroom.​ -Redirect Focus: Every moment we spend enjoying a "Happy" together is a moment our nervous systems aren't stuck dwelling on a tragedy.

Welcome to Rise Plus. The Classroom is optional if you already have an idea of who you are and what it is you are about. This is a table of contents with links to the other threads or channels. It’s going to be a permanent pin under General Discussion for quick reference. The Lessons are under the horizontal menu bar, Classrooms. When you complete a lesson, please click the top Right Corner of the window that pops up so it goes green. This helps you keep track of your progress. (See the second picture below.) Each lesson might have some exercises for us to work on. There will be a link to the relevant thread under Rising (How do I?). Rising (How do I?). This is where questions go. This is also where crafting goes. If you don’t know where something fits, post it there. If you have a WIN or an accomplishment you would like to let us know about, it goes in Thriving, as a response. Everyone deserves an accolade and a pat on their backs for a job well done. Weekly Tarot has a regular post where people can ask for a 1 card tarot reading. Certain rules apply. I will post other tarot card or oracle readings on occasion. This will eventually become a paid feature required a subscription to access. The Grove is about being seen and witnessed. You’re welcome to share something you’re carrying like a realization or a transition you are going through. Short is better. This container does have a format to follow. Please respond to the original post in the link, and do not make a new thread. Sacred Circle is where we receive feedback from the community for a spell or manifestation we put together and performed. This is not where we craft something. Crafting goes under Rising. Please respond to the original post in the link, and do not make a new thread.
