Embracing Change: Breaking Down Mental Borders to Enhance International Understanding
Explore the profound parallels between international migration and personal mental barriers. Discover how breaking down these barriers can lead to greater global understanding and interconnectedness with multi award winner Helena Collins.
Welcome once again, seekers of ascension!
Today, we delve into a oh so light hearted/profound topic that reflects both our inner landscapes and the global scene: international migration. Just as people cross many geographical borders in search of new beginnings, our minds, too, have the potential to welcome new thoughts and inspirations. Yet, often, we construct mental barriers as formidable as any wall built to divide lands and it’s people.
International migration is a powerful, visible manifestation of the fundamental human desire for change and betterment. It is driven by individuals' quests for safety, prosperity, and happiness—universal aspirations that know no borders. Yet, the reception migrants receive is often colored by the invisible borders we erect around our own minds: prejudices, fears, and unwelcoming attitudes. These are the mental barriers that say "keep out" to new ideas/experiences just as effectively as any physical wall deters movement. In our global village, every act of exclusion and every wall built is a mirror reflecting our own deep set internal fears and resistances. The barriers we see and place in the world are but external representations of the internal blocks against the ever-flowing energy of cosmic change. Understanding our universal connection deepens our comprehension of not just migration, but also the nature of all human thoughts and interactions.
Helena Collins' Apex Life in Synergy: A Doorway to Cosmic Consciousness
Helena Collins, the multi award winning visionary behind Apex Life in Synergy, teaches us that to truly engage with the world in a meaningful way, we must first dismantle the internal walls that limit our understanding. Her program is designed not just to scrape the surface of our consciousness, but to penetrate the deep layers of the 'subconscious basement', where many of our unexamined beliefs and prejudices lie. Helena’s approach encourages participants to view reality not as a single layer of existence but as a multifaceted, dynamic interaction of multiple layers. This perspective is akin to achieving a cosmic consciousness that sees and appreciates the complex layers of human experience and thought and takes actions to “get out of the way”.In the spirit of interconnectedness that is central to Apex Life in Synergy, we come to see that personal transformation is inextricably linked to global changes. By opening our minds to new thoughts and dismantling the internal barriers/walls to change, we facilitate a smoother passage not only for new ideas but also for people moving across physical human-made borders. Embracing the fluidity of thought and the transience of states, whether they be mental or geographical, aligns us more closely with the ever-changing universe. In doing so, we not only enhance our own lives but also contribute to a more understanding, accepting, and interconnected world. We begin to see that walls and borders are merely illusions of separation that hinder the universal flow of energies and ideas.

The Road Not Seen: Learning from Our Ego's Missteps
Have you ever approached a teacher or a mentor, seeking guidance, only to let your ego convince you that you knew better?
It's a peculiar twist, isn't it? We seek out someone for their wisdom, and then, at the pivotal moment, our pride blinds us. This is a story not just about a wrong turn but about the humbling lessons that follow. Picture this: you're standing at a crossroads in your life. You know you need guidance, so you seek out a teacher……
Hello there, friends.
Have you ever approached a teacher or a mentor, seeking guidance, only to let your ego convince you that you knew better?
It's a peculiar twist, isn't it? We seek out someone for their wisdom, and then, at the pivotal moment, our pride blinds us. This is a story not just about a wrong turn but about the humbling lessons that follow. Picture this: you're standing at a crossroads in your life. You know you need guidance, so you seek out a teacher. But as they begin to share their wisdom, a voice inside you whispers, “You know better.” This is where the journey takes an unexpected turn. The moment we tell our teacher, "I know more," we embark on a path led by ego. It seems right, fueled by a sense of self-assuredness. But soon, this path reveals its true nature – a labyrinth of repetitive patterns and missed wisdom. The wrong turn wasn't just a stray path; it was a mirror showing us the complexities of our own pride. Realizing the folly, we often then retreat to seek answers alone, jumping from book to book, philosophy to philosophy. Each book, each idea, feels like a step towards redemption, a way to fill the gaps we created. But the real answer isn't in the pages; it's in the unspoken dialogue between our ego and humility.
Revisiting the Teacher
There's profound power in revisiting that moment of prideful assertion.
What if admitting "I thought I knew more" is the first step towards truly understanding the bigger picture? This humbling return to the teacher – be it a person, a moment, or an experience – is where true learning resumes. The integration of this lesson is a dance of humility and wisdom. It's recognizing that our journey is enriched not just by the knowledge we seek from a mentor but also by understanding the limits of what we know. It's a delicate balance between seeking guidance and valuing the wisdom we already possess. Armed with this new understanding, our journey takes a more open-hearted turn. We still seek knowledge, but with an awareness of our own fallibility. Each step, each 'mistake', becomes a valuable chapter in our book of life, teaching us about humility, wisdom, and the beauty of lifelong learning.
In the end, our wrong turn – telling a teacher we knew more – becomes a critical point of growth. It's a chance for a lesson in humility, in the value of guidance, and in the power of admitting our missteps. Our paths are not just about the knowledge we gain but also about the wisdom we discover in our own vulnerabilities.
Today, think back to a moment when your ego led the way.
What did this experience teach you? Remember, the most profound lessons often come from acknowledging our misjudgments and embracing the journey back to humility and learning that leads back to the teacher that we thought we knew more. We always would joke at our multi award winning wellness studio on Boston’s Newbury street with this statement when clients entered the “ I know”….” I have no idea what you are talking about, but I know more about it than you”.

Macro and Micro Consciousness: The Collective Mindsets
Cultural and Societal Influence: Macro consciousness is shaped by cultural, societal, and historical contexts. For instance, the collective consciousness of a nation is influenced by its history, traditions, and shared experiences, like a national tragedy or a period of significant prosperity……
Macro consciousness can be likened to a vast, interconnected web of thoughts, emotions, and experiences shared among larger groups – be it communities, societies, or even humanity as a whole.
This concept is not just about shared beliefs and values; it’s an exploration of collective experiences and the communal psyche.
Cultural and Societal Influence: Macro consciousness is shaped by cultural, societal, and historical contexts. For instance, the collective consciousness of a nation is influenced by its history, traditions, and shared experiences, like a national tragedy or a period of significant prosperity.
Global Consciousness: In a broader sense, macro consciousness can extend to a global scale, reflecting the shared experiences and challenges of humanity, such as climate change awareness or global pandemics.
Technological Impact: The advent of the internet and social media has significantly amplified and altered macro consciousness, creating a more interconnected global community.
Micro Consciousness: The Individual Experience
Micro consciousness, in contrast, is the individual's internal experience – their thoughts, feelings, beliefs, and perceptions. It’s the personal lens through which one views the world, shaped by personal experiences, upbringing, and individual traits.
Personal Perception and Reality: Micro consciousness is deeply personal, often subjective, and can vary greatly from one individual to another. It's how we interpret and react to our immediate environment and personal experiences.
Influence of Environment: While unique, micro consciousness is also influenced by the external world – including the macro consciousness of one's community or society.
Spiritual and Psychological Dimensions: Micro consciousness also encompasses the spiritual and psychological journey of an individual, reflecting their inner growth, challenges, and realizations.
Intersection and Interplay
The most fascinating aspect is the interaction between these two forms of consciousness. They are not isolated but deeply interconnected.
Influence of Macro on Micro: Societal norms, cultural beliefs, and collective experiences significantly shape an individual's perspective and life choices.
Contribution of Micro to Macro: Conversely, the collective consciousness is a tapestry woven from individual threads. Each personal experience, idea, and belief contributes to the larger picture.
Evolution and Change: Both forms of consciousness are dynamic and evolve over time. Changes in macro consciousness can lead to significant shifts in individual perspectives, and vice versa.
Spiritual Perspective: From a spiritual standpoint, this interplay can be seen as a dance between the individual soul and the universal spirit. Both are essential to understanding the complete picture of human existence and experience.
Hmmmmm, macro and micro consciousness are two sides of the same coin, each reflecting and influencing the other.
The study of these concepts not only offers insights into human behavior and societal dynamics but also provides a deeper understanding of the individual's place within the larger scheme of existence. This interplay is crucial for personal growth and collective evolution, embodying the essence of both individual uniqueness and universal interconnectedness. Apex Life in Synergy online study of the self addresses a vast array of knowledge from a person who simply is reguritating information, no repackaging…..you owe it to yourself in your lifetime to discover who you can become.
You may think that Life in Synergy® offers just another “self help” program, but think for one second that when you pass away and you meet ascended beings. These masters of energy ask “ Did you HELP shape reality on earth or did you replay the past?” We have walked the walk for the past 30 years and NEVER deviated from the tasks at hand despite headwinds of Cyclonic proportions…so we are not bullshitting at all, we know that there is MUCH to all of this.
The time is NOW to shift the future, or sit on a tack and complain for the rest of your life…

The Butterfly Effect of Our Actions:
How Causing Pain Reverberates Through the Universe
We've all heard of the butterfly effect—the idea that a small change in one part of the system can lead to significant changes in another.
This concept, often discussed in the realms of chaos theory and physics, has profound implications for our daily lives, particularly in how our actions affect others and, by extension, the world at large.
The Ripple Effect of causing Pain
Imagine throwing a stone into a calm pond. The impact creates ripples that extend far beyond the point of contact, affecting the entire body of water. Similarly, when we cause someone pain, whether intentionally or unintentionally, the impact reverberates.
The person we hurt may go on to hurt others, either as a way to cope with their own pain or simply because their emotional state has been altered. This creates a chain reaction, a series of ripples that can extend far beyond our immediate circle.
The Karmic Cycle
For those who believe in the concept of karma, causing pain to others is not just an isolated event; it's a karmic debt that one accrues. This debt doesn't just affect the individual who caused the pain; it impacts the collective karma of humanity. In a world already fraught with suffering, adding to that collective burden has far-reaching consequences.
The Interconnected Web of Life
We are all connected, not just by social networks or familial ties, but on a much deeper, metaphysical level. Some spiritual philosophies suggest that we are all part of a single, universal consciousness. When we hurt another, we are essentially hurting ourselves, and this pain resonates through the collective consciousness, affecting the overall well-being of our planet.
The Power of Positive Actions that repair
The good news is that the butterfly effect works both ways. Just as causing pain can create a ripple of negative consequences, acts of kindness, compassion, and love can generate a wave of positive energy. By being mindful of our actions and striving to make choices that contribute to the greater good, we can counterbalance the negative ripples we've set in motion.
Wrap it up already
The butterfly effect teaches us that our actions, no matter how small, have consequences that reach far beyond our immediate environment. By being aware of the impact we have on others, we can make more conscious choices, not just for our own well-being, but for the collective well-being of all life on Earth. So the next time you're faced with a decision, consider the ripples it will create for ALL.
Choose wisely, for the sake of us all.

Climate Change & The New Roommates: Why Humans Have To Stop The Feud & Cuddle Up
….And when I say "hot," I mean, come on, we're talking about the Earth running a fever here. But here's a twist: How is this planetary fever affecting the size of our "living room," and why might you end up bunking with someone you can't stand? 🌍🔥
Hello, Earthlings! Today, we're diving into the hot topic of climate change.
And when I say "hot," I mean, come on, we're talking about the Earth running a fever here. But here's a twist: How is this planetary fever affecting the size of our "living room," and why might you end up bunking with someone you can't stand? 🌍🔥
The Great Shrinkage
Once upon a time, the Earth had lots of space. Vast deserts, sprawling forests, endless oceans—so much room for activities! But thanks to our stubbornness and love for fossil fuels, we've been cranking up the thermostat year by year, melting ice caps and raising sea levels. Essentially, we're turning Earth into a cozy (read: uncomfortably warm) studio apartment.
Sure, a studio apartment sounds cute and chic, until you realize there's no room for your extra stuff. Say goodbye to the endless rows of cornfields in the Midwest and say hello to beachfront property in, well, everywhere that used to be far away from the beach. 🏖️
No Room for Hate: Get Over It, Or Get Wet
Alright, so now that we've got less room to move around, we've got to make some new arrangements. There’s going to be a bit of a domino effect. People from coastal regions will have to move inward. Folks from desert areas that become uninhabitable will also have to pack up. And no, calling "dibs" on a spot isn’t going to work this time.
Here's the kicker: you can't pick your new neighbors. Given how humans are historically great at bickering over differences—be it race, religion, politics—you might end up sharing your 'newly downsized Earth' with someone you disagree with. But hey, unless you’re willing to relocate to Mars with Elon Musk, you might have to drop the 'tude and learn to live in harmony.
From Social Distancing to Social... Closening?
Remember the social distancing we practiced for health safety? Well, that was fun while it lasted. Now we’re going to have to master the art of "social closening." Yes, I just coined that. You're welcome.
In this teeny tiny world of the future, privacy will be as rare as a climate change denier at a Greta Thunberg rally. It's time to put on our big-kid pants and learn some conflict resolution. If global warming is teaching us anything, it's that we really are all in this together. Yes, even with Karen from accounting who still doesn't believe in recycling. 🙄
The Karma of Climate Change: A Spiritual Wake-Up Call?
If you're into the spiritual side of things (ahem, you know who you are), think about this as the ultimate karmic challenge. The Earth is pretty much saying, "Hey, you messed up my Feng Shui, now deal with the consequences." Maybe it’s time for some collective soul-searching.
In closing, let's consider climate change as our universal roommate agreement gone awry. Earth has tolerated our loud parties, our waste, and our general lack of courtesy for far too long. Now, as we scramble for the remaining good spots, maybe—just maybe—we’ll learn to appreciate our roomie and treat her right.
So, in the spirit of keeping Earth hospitable (or at least livable), let’s put our petty differences aside and snuggle up. We don't have to love each other, but we do have to live with each other.
Until next time, Earth-mates. 🌏✌️

Sitting on the dock of the mind, watching the tides of time flow…
So it has been a bit since our last post…
Why? Well sometimes you have to sit and watch vs add ( or subtract from it all). So we have been …yup, sitting and watching in order to allow the snow globe to settle and not tap into other cross dimensional forces. So, after doing so…here is our latest blog.
Hey there, metaphysical mavens!
Buckle up and put on your multiverse mittens; we're diving into the wild and woolly world of the multiverse and how actions ripple across all dimensions.
The Marvelous Magical Multiverse: A Not-So-Made-Up Story
Once upon a time in a universe (or two, or three, or a gazillion), there were many dimensions, all jiving and jiggling next to each other like cosmic Jell-O. In this realm of endless possibilities, something as simple as choosing oatmeal over pancakes for breakfast can lead to a ripple effect of galactic proportions. Seriously, pass the syrup, please!
What do you think of my multiverse? Multiverse? What's That?
For those who think the term 'multiverse' sounds like something straight out of a sci-fi flick, you might be onto something. But hang on! Before you dismiss it as 'woo woo,' let's get into the nitty-gritty. The multiverse concept proposes that our universe is but one of many. Picture this: Each universe is a slice of bread, and all together, they make a cosmic sandwich. Delicious, right? Well, maybe not tasty, but certainly intriguing.
Its not me its, you: Action and Reaction in All Dimensions
Okay, now let's talk about how actions in one universe can create changes across others. Remember when you were a kid, and you'd jump on one end of the bed, making your sibling bounce on the other end? The multiverse is like that, only a tad more complex (and less likely to end with someone crying).Imagine you decide to meditate instead of binge-watching that new TV series. That simple choice reverberates across the cosmos like a spiritual tsunami, possibly leading to higher consciousness in Universe B, C, and even Z.
“Out there” Metaphysical Practices: Not Just Woo Woo!
Now, I hear you skeptics out there whispering, "Metaphysical practices? Sounds like hippie mumbo-jumbo to me." But hold your horses, my doubtful friend!Metaphysical practices, from meditation to energy healing, are as real as your favorite pair of jeans. And just like those jeans might be working against you after a heavy meal, the notion that these practices are 'woo woo' is used to slow down many folks' spiritual evolution. Tricky, isn't it? Our thoughts and intentions have power; they're not just fleeting whimsies that disappear like a magician's rabbit. They shape our lives, our dimensions, and perhaps even the multiverse itself.
Wrap it up already will ya?: Multiverse Mirth and Mastery
So, whether you're new to the multiverse party or a seasoned metaphysical maestro, remember that your actions, thoughts, and choices matter. They might just cause a cosmic cha-cha across all dimensions! And for those still thinking this is all 'woo woo,' maybe consider that the universe where that's true is not the one you're in right now. Pass the oatmeal; I have some dimensions to shift.
With love, light, and a sprinkling of multiverse magic, [Your Best Cosmic Buddies…Helena and Brian]
