Why? February 5, 2008

For the longest time, I thought life was simple. You are born, you live, you die. While you live, you go through joys, sorrows, pains, fears, love, sadness,… then you die. For the longest time, I also asked myself the question: “why?”. Why am I scared when I am by myself? Why is that kid bullying me? Why am I attracted to that person and not the next one? Why am I taught that God forgives everything but if I dare sin, I’ll go to hell? Why are some people poor and some rich? Why am I hurt when someone tells me something but the next person feels nothing upon hearing the same words? Why do I believe people expect so much of me? Why am I capable of raising kids when I don’t have all the answers? Why do things go right when I want them to, and they go wrong when I believe them to? Why am I happy one moment and sad the next? Why do I live in Canada and not in Irak? Why am I in this body? Why am I here?

When you ask, the Universe responds. But only when you choose to listen and accept the answers that are given to you.

I had been asking myself the ‘why’ questions for many, many years, but had yet to receive answers, so I came to the conclusion that I would know everything only when I die. That’s what I thought, until I realized I wasn’t ready to know the answers. I was too caught up in my life drama, in my head, trying to figure things out. There’s nothing to figure out. When I started letting go, accepting ‘what is’ without judging whether it’s good or bad, I started getting answers to my questions. I could ’see’ the answers, but only when I got out of my mind, free of thoughts, sitting in my soul.

We are so afraid to miss a beat that we constantly fill our minds and our time with what we think are ’productive images and actions’, but in reality, these productive images and actions are like white noise covering up the truth. They keep us so busy that we don’t see what’s in front of us.

I try to imagine what life was like before I knew what I know today, but I can’t see it. Or, I don’t want to see it. I’m 33 years old and I would not go back in time. Today is THE day. This moment is THE moment. There is nothing else but this moment.

Feeling Guilty About Wanting to Make More Money? February 1, 2008

I was. But I worked on it.

What are your beliefs about money? Do you feel like you’re not good enough to have a lot? Do you fear you will be looked at differently if you have money? Do you feel greedy to want more money?

I could write a hundred pages listing limiting beliefs about money. The point is, all of them are limiting. In the sense that those beliefs that are engraved in our bodies are preventing us from moving forward financially. Either preventing us from making more money or actually keeping it!

After I watched The Secret, I started thinking positively about money. Yes! That’s how I can do it!! So I actually ended up making more money, but I couldn’t keep it. I still had zero dollars in my bank account at the end of each month, without even spending more. I didn’t understand why this was happening. For a few years, I had been sensing that I will have lots of money, when I say lots, I mean ‘LOTS’. I was feeling guilty about that, and the bank account wasn’t following my gut (go figure!). So I came to the conclusion that I was full of it and that maybe I’m just not meant to have lots of money. Then things went downhill even more (I obviously attracted that…). Not only did I have $0 in my account, but I was starting to get into debts too. “I need help” I told myself. When you ask, the Universe responds…

I had been wanting to get some ‘life coaching’ from an amazing coach for a while. He coached me for my career for about an hour or two and I wanted more… I couldn’t afford it. But after asking The Universe for help, he contacted me and offered to coach me in exchange for my creative services! YES! YES! Absolutely YES! Please coach me on money!

After just an hour of coaching, I realized so much and kept opening my eyes to so many things in the weeks after. I was feeling guilty about wanting to have more money, mostly because of my beliefs, but also because I didn’t really know what I would do with that money. I asked myself “what would I do with a million dollars?”… I didn’t have an answer. Actually, the answer was “I don’t know”. Then why would I need a million dollars?

I have been reading Neuro-linguistic Programming for Dummies. The tagline on the book is “Turn positive thoughts into positive action”. It’s a very good complement to The Secret. You can read more about NLP on Wikipedia. One of the suggested exercises is to write your obituary. Why obituary and not biography? Because a biography is about your life until the moment the text is written. The obituary is about your entire life, until your death. You want to look at the end result. So I wrote my obituary. I let myself go and was writing without judgement, whatever was coming out. Whoa. Was I ever surprised. I found out why I was sensing I am going to have a lot of money. I need it for my project. You see, my ultimate dream, my true passion is to guide people to realize their dreams, to follow their heart and their gut, on a really, really big scale. 

Right now, the world is opening its eyes to new possibilities, bigger possibilities. The adults are just starting to learn about this. We need to teach this to kids, so they can grow up fulfilling their dreams, by doing that they will teach their children, and their children, and so on. Kids are learning all they need to know about math, language, physics, etc in schools. What about life? What about following your instincts? I want schools to coach children about this ‘new’ life. So that’s my ultimate goal. 

In my obituary, I wrote not only about making inspiring films that are recognized worldwide and are helping the world believe in the ‘impossible’, but also about the ”Natasha Jetté Foundation” that implemented the “Strong Heart, Mind, and Soul” program in schools internationally.

I don’t feel guilty about having lots of money anymore.

The world that surrounds you is a world of beauty. Notice this beauty every day. Every thing around you is made of light. The energy that is used to create these images is the same as the energy on the other side, it is a creation of God. God is within all of us. In you. You are made of the same energy that makes up the world. We are all one, with each other, with nature, with objects, with the wind, water, trees.

We are one in the Universe of God. What you think is reality in not reality at all. What you are living is part of a subconscious unity, where you are the creator of its destiny. Never forget that the one who loves you loves you forever, without conditions. You are the creator of your destiny. You might find that difficult to understand at first, but you will learn to accept it and will learn to manipulate your thoughts so that your destiny is the one you have been seeking. We are there to guide you. You can always ask for our help. If you do not hear our words with your ears, open up your heart to everything around you, for we not only speak to you, but we show you the path through signs. With an open heart, you will notice these signs. Trust them, for they are for you. Follow them for they will lead you in the right direction. Some signs may not make sense to you, but will come to make sense as you move along your path. Ask yourself “do I risk not following this sign?”, you will see that your heart will answer.The world is evolving to a higher level. You and all humankind are needed to help this evolution forward. You may have noticed the changes already: more people mention guides, channeling, spirits, … Movie productions are made specifically for this purpose: What the Bleep Do We Know?, The Secret, and many more. Some people who think they have control are afraid of these changes, they are afraid they are loosing control. They will create strong fears in the population to try and contain what they would call ‘damage’. Stay strong. Keep following your heart. Open your heart to bigger possibilities. Promote peace, love and harmony. Do not fight.

Natasha has asked me many times why this new openness of the world? Why does the world need this evolution? Our souls have reached a new level of learning, the Earth realm needs to adapt to this new level. Think of yourself in elementary school, in sixth grade. You are about to have learned everything you need to learn about the basics. It’s time to move on to high school. It’s the same thing with Earth. The soil you live on was built as a learning ground. It evolves to meet the needs of our dimension, where you are from. You are learning at this very moment, by reading this message. This learning helps with your own soul’s evolution. Every minute, every second of your life impacts your soul’s evolution.  

I See Dead People, End of Story. January 7, 2008

I had been doubting my abilities to connect with “the other side” for the past few months. I was ignoring that side of myself, all because I unexpectedly encountered one sceptic who made judgemental comments about what I see and feel. It was already difficult enough for me to talk about it, fearful of not being able to “prove” my abilities. So many people I know are curious about it, they believe in what I can do and want me to share it. But as soon as I face a little scepticism from one person overhearing my words, I freeze. I don’t know how to deal with that, or so I thought.

I read a few books on the subject these past weeks, thanks to my husband who bought them for me this Christmas. I learned a few new things, but in most part the content confirmed my abilities. What struck me the most, is that scepticism shuts everything down. When someone tries to make me prove my abilities, it does quite the opposite. Why? How do you react when someone implies you’re not doing your job right, or you’re not good enough? Your body shuts down. You do it instinctively to protect yourself. Well, it’s the same thing when someone is trying to show I’m lying, or I’m “full of it”. To connect to the other side, I need to be fully open, in a relaxed state, surrounded by good energy.

I can usually spot sceptics without them even speaking one word, because I feel their energy first. When I feel that kind of energy, I concentrate on protecting mine, which makes it more difficult to do my work. When scepticism creeps up unexpectedly through spoken words, and I don’t have time to veer it off, the ’damage’ takes a while to repair – I feel put down, not good enough, I doubt what I can do, and my confidence takes a dive.  In which case, the people who do believe are not benefiting from my abilities.

My message to sceptics: You’re allowed to believe in whatever you want. That’s the freedom of choice and I respect that. But others are also allowed to believe in life after death and that a handful of people have the gift of communicating with the other side. My gift is not to prove my abilities to you. I help people that believe I can help them. Who are you helping by trying to disprove my abilities?  If you don’t believe, you don’t believe – just leave it at that.

Are You Listening? December 20, 2007

Our minds are constantly flowing with thoughts. Actually, flowing might not be the best choice of words… Our minds are constantly bombarded by thoughts, thousands of them per day. You know what? We choose to be bombarded by thoughts. We choose to listen to our own thoughts, despite what they are. They are the source of our stress, anxiety, impatience, and also of our happiness and joy. They also make us distracted. When was the last time you truly listened to your friend telling you a story? Without thinking about the story you want to tell? Without thinking of what you need to be doing at that moment? Without thinking of what you should have done that morning?

As an actor, thanks to many great teachers, I learned that the number one crucial thing in acting is listening. To be present with another actor, to make it about him or her. When you listen, you allow the other’s words to hit you, creating a natural reaction, free of ego, that is mesmirizing to watch. This is a great technique. But, why aren’t we taught to apply that in our everyday life?

Constantly listening to our thoughts while another is speaking is actually a way to feed our ego and to hide who we truly are. And we are all guilty of that, including yours truly. That’s the way we are taught, to live with our egos — because that’s the way our parents were taught, and their parents, and so on. We all want to feel important, needed, knowledgeable, you name it. We think that the way to do that is to make sure our words our heard as soon as a split second of silence appears in a conversation. Instead of listening to what the other is saying, we end up listening for a slight moment where we can jump in, and concentrating on what we want to say so we don’t forget it. When we end up getting our ‘moment’, we blurt out our words, without realizing that the person standing in front of us is also not listening, because they found something else they want to say. 

I have been practicing listening in my everyday life and I have had conversations where no words were spoken but were much, much more meaningful than ego-filled exchanges. You can discover so much more about another person and about yourself if you just let go and free your mind.

I dare you to try it today. To truly listen, you need to free your mind of your thoughts – ignore them basically. You need to concentrate on the other person, just make it about them, and don’t judge. Oh, and breathe… You’ll know why when you try it.

If it doesn’t work the first time, just keep trying. It takes practice. A great hockey player doesn’t make it to the NHL without having played for years.  

Let me know how it goes.
