Our Living Dream: "Hanuman and Jesus are the Same"

"Hanuman and Jesus are the Same"

When I was young on the spiritual path I had the delightful experiences of seeing Ram Dass speak several times. I even had a funny experience running into him at the hairdressers. I loved his book Miracle of Love, about his experiences and learnings with his guru Baba Neem Karoli. This morning I was perusing blogs and I happened upon this video of Krishna Das speaking about Baba Neem Karoli advising a devotee to 'meditate like Jesus'. There has been a magic, of course, to this blog. Finding this video was perfect to what I wanted to address. Last night I was thinking about my post yesterday. When Jesus gets mentioned, Christians think of course you are a Christian and non- Christians often get nervous thinking the same thing. Jesus was an enlightened being, a great master. I have spent much time studying his teachings. I am not a religious person in the sense of being involved in organized religion, yet my life is completely devoted to my spirituality. Understanding the teachings of Jesus is an eternal journey into a vast pool of Love and Light. There are many paths, many masters, to the same place.

Umā said...: I spent 12 years in Catholic school and yes, Jesus gets a bad rap. I've spent years shutting down whenever his name is mentioned, but in recently rediscovering him as an enlightened being I find I can look at him in a whole new light. I'm glad you liked the video, thank you for linking to me.

About Katherine Treffinger - Spiritual mentor, counselor and healer

In 1981 after a long bout of travel related hepatitis I began a spiritual journey that was all but forced on me. I was seeing spirits everywhere and my perceptions of people and events around me were radically changing. Up to this point I had considered myself an agnostic. There was no longer any denying that there were other realities. I was very fortunate to find incredible spiritual mentors to help me through this change. I was very wounded and I had much work to do on my path to wholeness. I studied metaphysics and healing techniques and the tarot. I started using what I had learned and did hands on healing, massage, tarot readings and spiriual consultations.

I no longer see spirits; that was just to get my attention. I no longer value all the bells and whistles I experienced at the beginning. There is a quiet magic that shows up for me now. What I find I am valuing is the quieting of the mind and a sense of peace that is taking place. All healing takes place in the Peace and it is where I love to hang out.

Our Living Dream - The philosophy

We live in an interactive Universe, where what we believe, think, and most of all feel, creates our reality. Quantum Physics has shown that what we observe we affect by the way we observe it.

We are living a dream, or rather we are dreaming a life, a very malleable reality. I have seen that the affect of our observation, which we experience as our lives, can be interpreted as a dream, giving us a key to our most hidden motivations and hence, our freedom. With awareness, intention and presence,we can participate in creating this dream.

Each one of us, individually, is here as a wondrous manifestation of the Divine. The Divine through the individual, is experiencing a diversity that happens through each one of us being fully the unique special beings we are.
We are Universes unto ourselves Every one of these Universes is essential. We are God experiencing God and that is our one and only job.

Our deepest desires are our Higher/Divine Self informing us on our soul path.

The desire for healing of the self is not simply a self-serving motivation. We are one with a field of Energy, of Intelligence that connects all people, animals, minerals, plants, the earth and the cosmos. What we heal, liberate, and transform, we do for All. This healing ripples through the field and affects the entirety.

Learn how best to love you, and in doing so you align with the truth of who you are, love. Your alignment radiates and informs all beings.

There is no better way to help anyone, anything, anywhere.

Transformational Advisor

When I listen to someone tell the story of what they are experiencing in their life I listen as if I was hearing a night time dream, all of it up for interpretation. Through this active listening I help facilitate conscious recognition of what the enactments in the person’s life are about symbolically. In this way one can free themselves from the pattern, change the resulting manifest reality and come more into alignment with their Selves.

Over the years I have developed my gift as a spiritual mentor, both through working with myself and others. I know that how I work with people is powerful and deeply transformational if the person I am working with fully embraces the work. People have come to me with severe wounding. I have given them the tools to heal. The healings that have transpired have been amazing to not only them but to me. I love helping others get free of anything that holds them back from their naturally fulfilling lives. My insights into a persons process is highly intuitive. Many of the ways I work with people are individual to me, a result of working deeply with myself and many others.

The Healing Work

As a healer, I do distance healing and laying on of hands. I have studied many spiritual lineages and have learned how to line up with Divine Truth. Divine truth is that All is Harmony and Grace, therefore there is no such thing as discord or disease. This is my form of prayer and healing. I align myself with this truth and many times a healing occurs. During the process healing energy comes through me and a strong intuitive understanding of what to do with the energy. The healings are not something that is done to a person, transformation is being requested from the persons soul and the person requesting the healing must be willing to embrace that transformation fully. No matter what level of awakening a person is at it is challenging for a person to know Divine truth when they are experiencing serious discord. It is important to have someone that can hold that truth for them.

Sometimes healing does not occur, or at least, it does not look like what we were hoping for. I cannot know the reason why some healings 'work' while others do not. Maybe there is an aspect of needing the discord to push us to a new level of transformation and freedom. For those with life threatening illnesses that do not experience healing it is possible it is simply time to leave the experience of being incarnate. We all leave and have different ways of doing so. This can be one of the most beautiful and transformational times in a person's life, which in itself is another sort of healing. I am available and honored to be present with a person in this sacred stage of life.

powerful healers I have ever met. She has
a gift of vision which is completely unique
to her. She sees to the bottom of things in

heart of her being is loyal as the lion and
pure as the sun, purified by its own fire.
Throughout the time I have known
Katherine she has been a guiding light on
my path which assists in bringing my focus
into complete clarity. With Katherine's

Joe Burull
"Katherine and I have been good friends many
years. Any time I've asked for advice on
anything she has always been available and
open. She has a way of addressing issues that
gets to their essence very quickly. The
combination of her life experience and amazing
intuitive abilities get right to the heart of the
matter. She never tells me what to do but
guides me to discover what I truly want to do
by showing me, and/or reminding me, of how
to access my own inner guidance. All this,
and a great sense of humor and vitality and
groundedness."

Eva Lynn Hassan:
"Katherine Treffinger is a sensitive listener who
has deep insights that are conveyed with a
delicious sense of humor and great care for
personal growth and development. Always
mindful of different perspectives she does
not impose her views, but rather collaborates
with the client to develop an informative lens
to see through. Her capacities to respond all
conspire to create a vibrant session with long
lasting reflections or rumination for any
engaged participant. I know this from my own
direct experiences with Katherine!"

Dr. M. Ruth Davenport:
"I have suffered with a knee injury for many
years. It is mostly under control and doesn't
bother me, but once in a while, I overdo it and
it flares up. I was on vacation in Eugene
recently and had been lifting a lot of heavy
boxes and suitcases just before I left town
and my knee was a wreck. I called Katherine
in Cove and requested a non-local treatment.
Katherine graciously agreed and went to work.
I quickly fell asleep and when I woke up, my
knee was significantly better. The next day
there was no pain at all. Usually when I have
these flare-ups, it can hurt for weeks. I am
most grateful to Katherine for her intuition,
grace, and powerfully perceptive skills as a
healer.

Katherine has so much to offer us all through
her years of background in this work that she
brings to guidance in pursuing one's course,
and in her spiritual healing. I am blessed to call
her friend and grateful she is in my life and
available to turn to for advice that keeps me
focused and grounded. I highly recommend her
to anyone seeking a teacher who is powerful
yet humble, wise yet a learner, and open to
immediate resonances yet informed by the
knowings of the ages. She is creative, intuitive,
and so kind in her ability to help me on my
learning journeys. Thanks, Katherine."

Melissa Over:
"My tarot reading with Katherine was, quite
literally, phenomenal. I did not enter into the
experience with an agenda, other than to be
open to whatever message came my way.
Katherine began by helping me focus on intent
and offered amazing insight into my life
experience. What followed with the reading of
the cards, blew my mind. I believe a skeptic
would have been awed by the relevance of the
cards I chose, especially following Katherine's
and my conversation. Katherine brought
meaning from each card to my own life
experience, and offered a deeper exploration
that felt very safe. The reading made absolute
sense to me, and I credit Katherine's incredible
talent that made it so. I recommend to anyone
who has never had a reading but may be
curious, to visit Katherine. And those who are
familiar with tarot as a spiritual and forward
moving medium - you'll know you're in the
presence of an authentic and spiritual soul.
In gratitude, Melissa Over "
