Welcome To Humanityville

SPEAKER_00

Grand Rising Humanityville and welcome to a magnificent Monday. I'm so excited to be behind the mic and in front of a camera. I never thought I would say that. But you know, as Tim Brown quoted, we are at a critical point where rapid change is forcing us to look not just to new ways of solving problems, but to new problems to solve. And on that note, I welcome you back in to Free to Just Be, the podcast where I have been sharing for several years my awakening dance of transformation. As Together, Humanityville, we face the most critical time on our planet as we're in this massive shift of energy. And so much is happening in the world that it becomes overwhelming. But this morning I want to talk about how not forcing things and just allowing things to flow has absolutely transformed everything. And maybe you've noticed on the podcast. So I welcome you in to Free to Just Be. And I'm ex I'm just so excited that people are beginning to recognize and wake up to the fact that it's an inside job, and they're looking to creators that are talking about this whole process. So kudos to you, Humanityville, for allowing yourself to let new information into your mind, body, and soul. So on that note, let's jump into today's content. Um God has really impressed upon me uh all weekend as I worked in the garden. Yesterday was such a nice day, um, Mother's Day. Uh and like my husband said, I I want you to do what you want to do today. And I was feeling a little bit off physically, and I knew that I needed time on Mother Earth. And hopefully, all the mamas out there had an opportunity to be outside as well. And I I wanted that connection with the energy of Gaia, of our mother, Mother Earth, um, so much so that I was out in my garden most of the day, barefoot, and then um feeling like I said, I was a little bit off, uh experiencing uh a little bit of energetic pushback, a little feeling a little bit uh almost dizzy, uh, that type of thing, and um my body adjusting. Uh, I took a pretty good fall last Saturday and hit my head. And my body has been recalibrating since that time, and I knew that the energy of the earth is powerful, so I was barefoot, and then as uh the temperature rose into the 80s, I put my bathing suit on so that I could have the most exposure to the sun and to the earth under my feet, and and so that's how I spent the day gardening. And during that process, as usual, God speaks. God speaks through everything if you're willing to be open enough to see and hear him, and he uses the garden over and over again. And I was thinking about the the massive changes that have occurred in my life and in my mission in the last six weeks. You know, six six weeks ago or so, uh, I thought I had to do uh an event. I thought that I would put myself out there and I would offer a free moving meditation day, and and and where that came from was the world. The world says, you know, you need to set things up, you need to make things happen. Uh and really I recognize now, six weeks later, that that is yet another program of the Matrix Merry Ground. Let me let me explain as as we say in the South. Splain yourself. Um you know, making that flyer and and and I didn't really advertise a whole lot. I I put it out on uh all the local Facebook pages uh in my surrounding area, and I didn't get one hit back, but I I now realize that I really my heart was not in it. I I don't want to force myself into anybody's world that's that's not ready for me. I don't want to be the one that pushes and and and puts myself in front of people's faces over and over again and um and says, you need to do this, right? Um that's that is not who I am, right? And so I kind of like put that to the side. And what I did instead I was I called up my core students that are still practicing my uh moving meditations, my tai chi, and I said, Hey, how about we start meeting again on Wednesday? Wednesday is one of my days off. And uh so last week we did that, and it it was a beautiful practice, and I loved it. I loved being with my core students again, and it was natural. They were like, yes, I would love to do that, and going forward we will. And then there's this woman's group, a uh community center group that I used to be involved in. In fact, I used to teach my moving meditation there, and I don't know, a year and a half ago or so, I went with what the world was telling me. You are going to this community center, and you're spending your time, and they're not paying you, or they're paying you pittance, three dollars here, or you know, whatever they can afford, and you still keep going and sharing this beautiful practice, and you deserve to be paid for you know what you're sharing, and so I let those ladies know that that was the case, that I I I just I could no longer continue doing that without getting paid. And I was sorry, but you know, and deep down in my heart, in retrospect, again, there's that hindsight learner, right? Um I I knew that that was probably not the right thing to do. Why? Because number one, I absolutely love this woman's group. They met once a month, and they would come together and they'd all bring um potluck uh food, and they'd get together in this um meeting room, and oh my goodness, I I went twice, and they were there they would sing and they would share things about their life, and they would share food, and the energy of these women was off the chart awesome. And so I have been thinking about these women, and I was thinking about and observing, just like I've said so many times over the last three, three and a half years, that my favorite quote by Las Tu, who uh originated um the Tai Chi that I I love to do, my moving meditation, one of his quotes is observe what the world does and do the opposite. And obviously, on a on a podcast that's called Free to Just Be, that's what I talk about. Let's stop being like the world and let's be us, right? So that being said, here I am on video. I left this part of podcasting. I you know, I was I was safe behind the mic. I could sit behind the mic and put out my audio messages on Spotify and anywhere where you can find audio um podcast. But yet you observe the world and the attention span has decreased and decreased, and you see all these little reels. Well, I just kind of went with what God was saying saying. It started out in my garden. I'd be out in my garden and I'd have my phone sitting on my um outdoor table, and God would say, Record this. Okay, and post it. Uh really? Yes, just do it. And lo and behold, I have been amazed that for the first time in three and a half years, well, not the very first time, um I'm receiving comments and people are liking my reels or my videos. And so I invite you, if you are listening to this podcast, to also check out my YouTube videos. I have a YouTube channel called None Other Than Free to Just Be, and it's gaining traction. And what did I do? Did I advertise? Did I push myself out there? No, I just decided to follow what God told me to do. Record yourself when I give you something, a lesson through nature, or whatever, record yourself. And then I started coming here into my little office and setting up my camera on my phone and videotaping my own podcast. So eventually here in the next six or eight weeks, I will end up moving, transitioning to doing just YouTube lives and doing my podcast over on YouTube. And I I just so appreciate those that have made comments. There is connection developing, no forcing, just natural organic connection. It's pretty cool. And then there's the garden itself. My husband and I are developing our dream. And yes, my husband, who for years resisted. I mean, years ago, he would say stuff like, We're not ever gonna have anybody on our property, this is our property, and this is our sanctuary. And he was very adamant that he he never wanted to do that, and now he's helping with the garden, and he's talking about feeding many, many people, and we are a team, and we are uh working on goals to provide food for a lot of people. Now, it may take a couple of years, but organically we are developing this beautiful area on our property. We have about uh just a little under eight acres, and we are developing a food forest, and it's been so much fun. And what is organically happening with our food forest? Well, our neighbors are starting to pull into our driveway, and we're conversating, and we're talking about the garden, and we're talking about life, and I didn't send out flyers and say, hey, we're starting a food forest, you know. Anyone that's interested, come and talk to us. No, everything is beginning to flow naturally. Another thing that I did a couple of weeks ago was I reached out to a lovely lady named Candace in our uh community who runs that community center over at the Housing Authority. And she is such a light worker. She is so, what a beautiful soul this woman is. And I called her up and I just told her um quite naturally how I miss that woman's group, how that group is the epitome of what the world needs. Because there's connection, there's support, they help each other, they encourage each other, they meet and they share their lives. And this is what we're missing in the world. And I told her, and my heart just burst when I had this conversation. I said, Candace, I want to come back, and and first I want to apologize that I ever left, and I want to come back and I want to provide my moving meditation to any of these women that want to come and join in for free. I want to donate my time because this movement of energy is so profound and so helpful for our body, mind, and soul that if Jesus were here, He would He would just be sharing it. And I'm sure he did. So, and and she was just like, oh my goodness, you know, we're meeting on Tuesday, which is tomorrow, and I'm gonna tell these ladies that you are back in town and what your intentions are, and I will get back to you. And so, again, I am not forcing anything, I am allowing God to just flow in my life, and man, that is so weird. It is weird, uh, you know, just like like Tim Brown shared, uh everything is changing so rapidly. And if we want to change the world, we have to bust out of the way the world operates. And thus, there it is again. That verse or that quote by Las Two. Do the opposite, quit following the herd. And and there are people in my life that I love dearly that are very um very much into following the trend, and the trend is your friend, and and I I beg to differ. I I beg to differ because I I'm experiencing something brand new. And uh one of the other things I want to share about the forcing, um, and Jung Peblow said, growth is not about forcing understanding, it is about allowing understanding to grow organically. I love that word, organic, um, because it's it's so much more fun and it feels so much better. When I pushed my flyers out there and and I, you know, was thinking, how, you know, how can I get a class going and and classes will develop as I speak with people in my community, and I am not going to worry about it anymore because you know, creating that flyer and and and trying to put myself out there like the world made me constrict. I felt tension in my body, I I felt anxiety, I um I didn't like it. I I felt like I was losing or or somehow um not being proactive enough. And yet when I'm behind this mic and now in front of a video camera, because as you can tell, Teresa Marie, Ambassador of T is pretty aw-natural. I mean, I am not uh some beauty queen and I am not um perfect, and God loves us and and we are all perfectly imperfect, and I think that I I put that out there. I don't want to be like the world. I I so many of the things of the world I've walked away from uh dyeing my hair, uh wearing makeup, um I'm pretty much not very fond of bras. Um, you know, all right, so that maybe comes back from the hippie freak of the South days, right? Um and I am so much more comfortable being in my own skin the way that I feel free to be. And lo and behold, what I'm discovering is that is the very aspect about myself that people resonate with. Imagine that. What I'm not perfect, I don't have my hair perfect, and and I don't have this beautiful background, and and I'm out in my garden and I'm I'm sweaty and I'm um often dirty, and I'm just talking in general. And those are the videos I veer to. Um, I don't like stage things, I I don't like retakes. Um, we all make mistakes, and so I love what I do, I love what I do out in my food forest, I love what I do behind the mic, I love speaking to people in my community, and I am no longer gonna stress about how my mission is going to unfold because it is unfolding right before my eyes. My husband and I are now a working unit and it's a beautiful thing, and on that, you know, I want to let you know that if audio is your thing, then you can just listen. You don't have to watch Theresa Marie on camera, but I'm so appreciative of the comments that I've received. And I I will leave some links, and and maybe those that appreciate the things that I'm doing would like to, you know, support this mission. But Jehovah Jire is my provider, and I am not gonna beg, I'm not gonna borrow, and I'm not gonna force myself into my mission anymore, and I'm so much more happier for that. And the other thing I want to share today is you know, there's so much tumultuousness around the things that are happening in our government and in our world, and I remember well um the anxiety and the anger and The mistrust and and all of those negative ways I used to feel when I was um uh deep into following the money trail and watching news and uh thinking only about prepping and being ready and and uh and then I know the difference of not having that anxiety anymore. And so I am also on a mission to encourage you all to get back into this book. Yes, the Bible. And today is May 11th, and 11 is a master number, and I want to encourage you to trust that just like I have discovered that my personal mission to help humanity be free to just be who they are, is developing naturally. We need to take heart and be encouraged that our God also is naturally working things out for us on the planet, and I'm gonna prove that to you because you see, God cannot lie, it's impossible, right? He is perfection, and what he says in his word is true, and so if we read something in this book, then we know that he is able and will perform what he has told us in this word, and so as you watch the news or you stress over the price of gas and all of that, if you force how you want to see things go, you're gonna be in suffering, it's gonna affect everything, your body, mind, and soul. You're gonna be angry, you're gonna, you know, think negatively, and you're gonna say, F the world, and and all of that. That is the herd mentality. So if you want to do the opposite, check out what he says. Now I'm just gonna give you just a little tidbit, just so you maybe have your appetite wet for the encouragement that can come naturally. Psalm 11. Again, I've shared before. If you don't know where to start in the word of God, today is the 11th. You can go to the middle of the book in Psalms and Proverbs and follow chapter 11 in Psalms and Proverbs. It's that simple, right? Just as a starting point. So, what does it say in Psalm 11? In the Lord I take refuge. Not the world, not the news, not my friends, not my husband, not anything but the Lord. So as we feel anxious, as we are worried about our family, our finances, about what's happening in the world and how that's affecting our personal life, run back to God, take refuge in God. And then what does he say? The Lord is in his holy temple, the Lord is on his heavenly throne. He observes the sons of men, and he his eyes examines them. He examines the righteous, but the wicked and those who love violence, think about the matrix Mary Garan. Think about how they are horribly robbing us of our peace, of our money, how they're heinously committing crimes against humanity, right? What is what does he say to us? But the wicked and those who love violence his soul hates, and on the wicked he will rain fiery coals and burning sulphur, a scorching wind will be their lot. For the Lord is righteous, and he loves justice, and upright men will see his face. So God's the one, he's gonna take care of this. Quit stressing and trust God. And then to close, Proverbs eleven, verse five. The wicked are brought down by their own wickedness. So if we just take our hands off, if we stop forcing ourselves to say, yeah, but this is what needs to happen, and this is what needs to happen, and and you know, I hate the president, and I, you know, if we just stop forcing and we just start allowing God to unfold his mission for humanity, we will be at more peace and we will be more able to work towards our own mission as God unfolds that as well. So take heart, Humanityville. God is on the move, and one of the newest ways He wants us to consider is to stop forcing our lives, stop forcing our organic self into a system that is so incredibly inorganic. Oh yeah, there are days coming where I'm going to talk about some of those inorganic systems that I am currently battling. And I'll give you a little tidbit. One of the up-and-coming episodes is gonna be about my affair with AI. Oh yeah, baby. And I'm gonna be pretty brutally honest as well in that in that regard. So I've kind of bounced around today, but I want to thank you, humanity, for those that have left comments and that have watched my videos on YouTube. And I so appreciate it if you would hit the like button wherever you're listening or viewing me today. And that is the one part of the system that unfortunately, if we want others to see this type of content, then the like button is what rises videos up. So please like, subscribe to my channel, and share it with others. And I will see you not only on YouTube, but eventually in my community, because I'm getting ready to get myself all the equipment to get out there and start doing actual interviews in my community. God is good and he doesn't force. So how about we just take his lead and allow life to unfold, and we'll be in such better spirits for it. This is Theresa Marie, Ambassador of Cheese, saying, Humanityville, I love you so much, and right now I just ask God to fill you with the greatest energy and your most vibrant health. Wow, I did that backwards, didn't I? Let me try that again because you know what? I am completely able to be perfectly imperfect. I am praying that you have the greatest health and most vibrant energy today, and of course, the peace that passes understanding. Much love, Humanityville. Have a magnificent Monday. Peace.
