21 years ago this month I published my first newsletter. I had answered a call from Archangel Uriel a few months earlier to take on a spiritual mission and although I really thought it would be for about 6 months, here we are entering year 22. It has been a wild, usually rewarding, always exciting, and often unpredictable ride, and I am looking forward to as many more years as this journey lasts.
When I first began writing the messages were the same as they are now, in a slightly different context because this was new information and people were not always ready for it. I talked about energy mastery, congruence, releasing our karmic bonds, spiritual empowerment, and energetic sovereignty. In the over 5000 articles, more than a dozen books, hundreds of programs teaching over 2 million students, over 3000 hours of radio shows, live broadcasts, and podcasts that I have written and hosted, I have connected with millions of people around the world and touched countless lives.
I could not be more proud of my work, more committed to my mission, or more honored by the opportunity to serve you, then and now.
Every step of our ascension journey has been a mix of challenges and blessings, joy and sorrow, peace, and absolute chaos. We have been through a lot this past 21 years and the journey is not over yet but we are reaching another crossroads and this time the spotlight is on us. That might make you uncomfortable if you do not like being center stage but it is time for us to focus on our journey now, on what gives us joy and what brings us peace, fulfillment, and achievement. And on what uplifts, energizes motivates, and inspires us.
We have graduated from light work to light beacon, and we are moving into that 5D space of pure creation with our lessons learned, karmic ties unraveled and released, and new intentions at the ready.
As I wrote in the February 2025 Energy Report, “throughout the past 20 plus years we have been the light workers, now we are the light beacons. We have been the Martyred Healers, now we are the Empowered Masters. We have been the Portal Keepers and energy anchors, now we are the pioneers who are creating our 5D communities and new energetic families.”
And we are standing at the threshold of our new 5D realities, knowing that there is no turning back because there probably is nothing to turn back to. If your past is a barren landscape of ended friendships and partnerships, unmet expectations, and sheer fatigue from doing lifetimes of healing work, you’re ready to step into that 5D portal but you have one more thing to do.
It is time to get rid of the ‘use-less’ energy in your life. One of the things we probably don’t realize is how much ‘useless’ energy we carry around in our energy field. I call it useless energy because we have no use for it. We can’t use it, it doesn’t do anything for us, it is a stumbling block in many areas of our lives, and it serves no purpose except to remind us of things we would rather forget.
Useless energy was useful at one point in time but it is not any more. And when we’re getting ready to make changes and set new intentions for our life, our ‘use-less’ energy pops up and reminds us of everything that has ever gone wrong in our lives and it is more than limiting, it blocks us from receiving the energy we need to make changes and fulfill new intentions.
Like regularly cleaning out the refrigerator and getting rid of old food (the stuff that got pushed to the back and that we forgot about), or cleaning our closets to get rid of clothes that we don’t like, that don’t fit, or are out of style, useless energy takes up space and burdens us with its vibes.
But as I said, it was once useful and we thought it was the best thing ever. If you have ever looked back on a relationship that ended and you realize that you ignored the red warning flags because you were in love, mesmerized and captivated, or totally smitten, what you feel when you think about it is an example of useless energy. Generally that includes reminiscing about ‘what was I thinking’ every time.
Useless energy is a burden, a block, and something that doesn’t become a problem until it is time to act and we realize that we have been ignoring this energy, mainly because we forgot it was there, and now we have to deal with it.
The burden of useless energy is present on many different levels and in many different situations. Its presence can be part of our choices and decisions, it is that small voice that says, ‘don’t take a chance so you won’t be disappointed’ or be careful, you don’t want to get hurt,’ and ‘risks are risky, it is best to stay safe.’
This makes me think of a situation I experienced when I was working in the tech boom in the 1990s. I remember one technology consulting firm I worked at that had been around for a few years and had over 120 employees. It was the top technology consulting firm in Washington, DC and the employees were very comfortable with their high salaries and steady jobs. With annual billing revenues of over $40 million and some big government contracts, they thought the company was unbreakable.
Many of the employees had been there for several years and their cubicles looked like small living spaces. They had plants, photos, and personal items everywhere. Some were very nicely decorated and it was their ‘home away from home.’ They had brought things in from home over a long period of time and had quite a bit of stuff.
My work space had a photo of me and my children and nothing else. I had a sweater in my drawer because the office was often cold, and my ‘go bag.’ People commented on my bare desk and said it looked like I was getting ready to leave.
But there was a reason for that. I had already been through several job layoffs and I had learned to ‘travel light.’ The tech industry was like that. Layoffs were often a surprise and happened quickly, you had 2 minutes’ notice that your job was ending, about 10 minutes to pack up your desk, and you got two weeks’ severance pay, more if you were lucky.
One day the inevitable happened, the company had lost some of its big contracts and revenues were down so they laid off half the office staff. On the day of the layoffs they sent half the staff away from the office, and the remaining staff got their severance packages and had 15 minutes to clean their work spaces and leave, never to return.
The office those of use that did not get laid off returned to the next day was a huge mess. People had to throw away what they could not fit in the single box they were given for their belongings and what they had to leave behind was strewn everywhere. All of the beautifully decorated desks were empty and what they could not take with them was piled in or near their trash can.
The useful energy was no longer useful and had become use-less and a burden.
When I finally got laid off from that job, a few months later, I got my go- bag and put my photo and sweater in it and I was ready to go. No useless energy for me, I had nothing to burden my exit and although I was not too happy at losing my job, I did get another one. That scenario was repeated several times during my career for a total of 6 job layoffs in 8 years. That’s when I went full-time in my business, in July 2007. While I liked the tech industry and the work I did, being under the constant pressure of job layoffs, downsizing, company sales, and other career disrupters was useless energy.
Useless energy comes in many forms and it is not as easy to identify and spot as you may think. It can be very familiar and something you are quite used to. If you grew up with a critical parent, for example, being constantly criticized and judged seems very normal to you and you accept that this is part of your life. And then one day it doesn’t work for you any more and the useful energy that kept you small and powerless is now useless as you expand and grow your presence.
Useless energy is your invisible companion and it can make your life feel comfortable, until you have to move fast or make a change and then it gets in the way. That’s when you have to take care of your useless energy and, like my co-workers who could not fit all of their belongings into one box, you may have to leave things behind because you just cannot take them with you. In the rush of the moment you may have to make quick decisions that you are not comfortable with but that use-less energy demands that you either deal with it or it becomes a very big burden and limits your progress.
Do you have useless energy in your life? Probably and it may be moving to the forefront now so you will notice it. It is the energy, in the form of beliefs and thoughts, that pops up when you set an intention for a new life path or you want to take a risk, do something different, make a choice that you know will conflict with others’ agendas. That energy that makes you second guess yourself, try to make everyone happy, avoid conflicts, and control the future so you do not have any bad surprises, disappointments, or unexpected results.
It is also the energy that is present in relationships that have been in question as to their relevance to you for a long time. These are with people who are just not on your wavelength, either now or they have never been. Any relationship that is hard work, challenging, chaotic, full of drama, or just too much effort can fall into the ‘useless energy’ category now because if you’re moving into a paradigm of peace, joy, love, and abundance, these relationships with useless energy won’t fit that energy vibe and they are not going to make that journey easy for you if you try to include them.
Situations can have ‘useless’ energy when you live or work in a place where every day is a struggle and you just do not want to be there. The dream job you once thought was the focus of your life has now become a time and energy drain and you want to do something else. Or the home you once loved is now a reminder of a bad decision and a constant source of regret. I know that it is not always easy to pick up and move or to quit a job and find a new one, but when you recognize that you are dealing with use-less energy, as opposed to useful energy, and start setting intentions to make changes, you have a better chance of making progress.
Energy is either useful or useless, there is no gray area. Any energy that is not 100% supportive, uplifting, aligned, and relevant is use-less and it is not going to be something you can work with because it is not working for you now. And that is the key to understanding useless energy. It is not working for you right now so its loss or release is not going to be missed, except you won’t have that negative energy lurking in the background.
Useful energy is dynamic and supportive, it makes you feel good, it enhances your reality and is aligned with and relevant to the changes you want to make in your life. It can function at high energy frequencies and it expands with you. It does not need hard work or effort to fit or to be ‘right,’ it is right where it is most useful and supportive.
The use-less energy may be dealing with now is probably very old and you have it with people you have been trying to heal and bring to the light for decades and lifetimes. It is part of the time, energy, and effort you have shared with your karma group as part of your life purpose of ending karma the ‘happy’ way. And it has been an energetic burden for too long. It is time to release it.
Now that you know this if you think you are just going to banish the use-less energy in your life with one fell swoop, guess again. Many of these relationships and situations are part of your soul group and karmic circle, they have been with you for years and lifetimes. These can be your closes relationships, people you think should be able to ‘love, honor, and respect’ you, people you want to have in your life because they are family, friends, partners, and those closest to you.
Just remember to manage your expectations and that the primary purpose of relationship is to heal, learn, and grow – and sometimes that means to grow beyond them and their energy.
Do you ever wonder why you suddenly want to make changes in your life? It’s because you are hearing the gentle urging of your soul that it is time to expand into a new portal of possibility and potential and that is your cue to do an energy inventory of what is useful and use-less for this new path and to make the changes you need to make so that the portal opens wide and you can enter with grace and ease.
