Aura reading of Ellen DeGeneres coming out as a lesbian

Aura Reading Ellen DeGeneres

With our recent contest about cutting cords of attachment, SUZANNE was one of the winners. She requested a reading of Ellen DeGeneres, writing this:

I would be curious to see you read her aura right after she came out on “Ellen” in 1997, and then read a fairly recent picture. What was her aura like at that time? What are some of her gifts of soul? How has fame and the passing of time changed her?

Ellen’s coming out as a lesbian on national TV was so hugely inspiring to me, as it was for many lesbians. I am one of the many women who was encouraged to come out after watching that episode. I watched her on television and thought, “She is radiant.”

Watching her on the screen, I realized suddenly, “I can be a lesbian and a good person: There is no conflict between spirituality and sexual orientation.”

I am so delighted to read Ellen again. Years ago I did 33 feature stories for the Chicago Sun-Times, lengthy interviews for delightful reporter Paige Weiser. One of my favorites was an article from 2006, a couple’s aura reading of Ellen with her (now) married partner Portia di Rossi, an inspiring love match.

But never did I aim for the kind of comparison reading requested here, not about Ellen, nor about any member of the LGBT community before and after coming out. What a great idea, SUZANNE! Thank you.

Get ready to read auras along with me

Or just enjoy my energetic profile and comment, using your regular Gutenberg literacy to read this screen.

For background on this type of aura reading research, reading chakra databanks, etc. you can go to one of the articles here about weddings of Liz Taylor. Straight or gay or bi or whatever, the goodness of any person shows in gifts of the soul — part of what can be read with Stage 3 Energetic Literacy. Qualities of a particular chakra databank include STUFF, stored-up emotional and/or spiritual debris at the astral level. STUFF can always be healed. It can be read, too, when present. So this accounts for differences between the pure gift in a chakra databank and the size and quality present when reading a peson at any given time.

These days, I’m also raising consciousness about the distinction between skills of energetic literacy – particular ways of using aura reading techniques, doing skilled empath merge, physiognomy, etc. – in contrast to doing psychic development. These are different skill sets, vibrationally distinct, moving people forward on a beautiful but very different path to Enlightenment.

This blog is friendly to both paths but specializes in energetic literacy, not psychic development, and those of you who do aura reading as psychics are welcome to contribute your comments or even detailed guest posts. Same for those of you who do energetic literacy research!

What matters for your own personal development is that you pursue doing either one type of aura reading or the other. Mix them up and you’ll evolve more slowly, muddling things up unnecessarily. Of course regular Gutenberg literacy, reading this blog post, is a different matter entirely. Read anything you like, included this comparison of Ellen before and after coming out. And today.

Presence in a Room in when Performing, Root Chakra Databank

• When coming out:

What a moment of high drama. This shot, I believe, comes from the famous episode on the TV show “Ellen” when the character came out to another woman and, oops! To everyone else within hearing of the loudspeaker system.

More than a decade later, this TV outing remains the most public and courageous coming out of a celebrity in American history.

So was this an emotionally charged moment for the actress? Ooh, I can’t wait to take out my energetic literacy skills and report back to you, Blog-Buddies.

Shaking inside, Ellen is in “The trauma zone.” We’ve all been there, even if we haven’t starred on a network TV show. That feeling of “A very, most important thing in my life is happening right now. I will remember this for the rest of my life. Nothing will be the same. God help me. All I can do is the best I can.”

Along with this shaking, DeGeneres feels a quiet resolve and confidence. It’s a soulful resolve, really. What she’s doing feels right. So she’ll do it.

Characteristically, she doesn’t blow things up into a big deal. Instead, her habit is to deflect conflict with humility and gentle humor. Inside, however, that presence couldn’t be more serious, more committed.

• Now:

Why hello! Here’s the latest edition to our Enlightenment Life List.

Joy is strongly anchored into Ellen’s presence, not as a matter of mood but as a quiet kind of confidence. Like any Enlightened person, she is now God’s ambassador.

Sense of Identity, Solar Plexus Chakra Databank

• When coming out:

Ellen is willing to be herself. Not what others would have her be.

Scar tissue in this chakra databank suggests a lot of struggles when growing up, having to deal with people who treated her badly. Self-acceptance hasn’t only been centered around sexual identity. Ellen’s right to be herself, to laugh when she wants, to think as she does — basic kinds of independence have been at issue, resulting in soul-stirring growth.

After all, this is one seriously (and delightfully) quirky human being. Watching her as “An entertainer” in small doses, when she’s officially “an entertainer” — that is one thing. Living with her, with that entirely original perspective, one can only imagine!

The closest I can come is a comment my mother once made in disgust about me. I was in my 20′s, hanging out at her home and cooking myself breakfast. I made one of my typical unique and outlandish dishes, say an omelet flavored with herbs with a side of leftover collard greens sauteed in garlic.

Mom looked at me and, before she could stop herself, said in her voice of deepest disgust, “Can’t you ever eat anything normal?”

Look, I have my moments of creativity. But Blog-Buddies, I couldn’t possibly compete with the effortless, outrageous, boundary smashing of this soul known as “Ellen.” From the time she was old enough to crawl, Ellen was surely going places where the grownups never expected her to go. Think that has been easy?

Well, for this moment in her life, all that gentle insistence on being herself turned out to be fabulous practice.

• Now:

Little names come to mind, like “Joy” and “Clarity” and “The breath of God.” Any scar tissue has been lost in the texture like champagne bubbles.

Emotional Self-Esteem, Heart Chakra Databank

• When coming out:

Deep sadness at the core, a little fear on the surface. Mostly there is a clarity through and through: “I’m just going to be who I am. If people don’t like it, I will survive. I’ve done it before and I will do it now.”

• Now:

Compassion is gigantic. Sense of self is “Human, walking around in Ellen’s body, enjoying Ellen’s life.”

Nothing but goodness, kindness, and ease — this joy is self-renewing from deep within. On the surface, other moods float by like a baby’s bath toys.

At the time of this photo, all DeGeneres does is radiate happiness.

Sex Appeal as a Performer, Belly Chakra Databank

• When coming out:

In case you wondered, making this bold political statement is nothing at all like sexual flaunting. Of course, to this emotional and spiritual healer, sexual anything is often not about sex much at all.

A strong sexual nature like Ellen’s does send out its own kind of appeal. At this moment, pain shows more clearly than outright sex appeal.

A lot of pain around being a lesbian in her personal life… that’s activated now because, in this very moment, Ellen is taking on something much bigger than her own pain. She is speaking out for her sisters, for all they have suffered, for all of the hiding and guilt and shame and being shamed by others.

“Here I am,” proclaims this sex appeal. “Here I am, a gay woman. That’s simply who I am.”

• Now:

In case you’re wondering, Enlightened people can have sex lives. They can have gay or lesbian sex lives. Ellen isn’t the only one on our Enlightenment Life List to have a healthy, non-hetero sex life.

By now, Ellen’s sex appeal appears far more strongly confident than before. She radiates a similar sweetness, way more sex appeal than previously.

Joy is what it’s all about, the promise inherent in her particular version of sex appeal.

Verbal Integrity in Public, Throat Chakra Databank

• When coming out:

Ellen paces herself, taking the words slowly and speaking extra clearly, trying hard not to seem as though she is doing this acrobatic trick with her voice.

Integrity isn’t an issue for Ms. DeGeneres because she is used to having as much integrity as humanly possible.

Thanks to her choice to come out, what she’s doing right now allows her to express in a way that is more than usually human and full of integrity. Speaking the truth isn’t hard for her, compared to what has shown up in the previously read chakra databanks.

Now, coming out can be a huge deal for members of the LGBT community. Apart from social pressures, a person can feel plenty of other STUFF-related pressure.

This woman is very clear. So she doesn’t have extra pressured added on to the mix.

Hiding isn’t her life. She wasn’t hiding that hard. Now she has chosen to not hide at all — not nearly as big an ordeal for her as it might be for other homosexuals.

• Now:

Enlightened now, Ellen speaks in an echo chamber. Every word reverberates with the love and presence and power of God. No speech could be more true. Ever.

Spiritual Integrity in Public, Third Eye Chakra Databank

• When coming out:

A lifelong grace in her spiritual connection helps in this particular moment. Ellen is used to feeling connected, not in a proud way but simply because that’s how life is for her.

Earlier in her life, that spiritual connection helped her make it through.

This is one of the purest third eye chakra databanks I have ever read on anyone, really.

• Now:

Oh, those chakra databanks of  the Enlightened, so “monotonous”!

Joy, joy, joy.

Connection to God, simultaneous with being one very human individuality.

Spiritual confidence, unchanging, every eternal minute.

Oy, so boring… not.

Expression of Soul in Human Life, High Heart Chakra Databank

• When coming out:

The Divine presence within Ellen shimmers like solid gold. Time isn’t moving in the normal ways, as she does her acting job right now.

Ellen remembers, I believe, that what she is doing right now is one of the reasons she incarnated in the first place. There’s a sacred, ineffably dear, familiarity to what is happening — as though she previewed it all before.

Now, if only she relaxes into the moment and stays steady, all will be well.

That golden presence reassures her. Yes, long-term, all will be well.

• Now:

The glory of a human individuality is to live as Ellen does now. Total self-acceptance represents a delightful shift from what I read in the earlier photo.

It’s as though the Divine connection at soul level was like driving at 15 miles per hour during her heroic scene on the iconic TV show. Now Ellen is cruising through life at a most comfortable (very safe) speed, as if on the cosmic Autobahn. No speed limits at all!

Conclusion

When I did the interview for the Chicago Sun-Times, I learned that Ellen has a medical abnormality, a kind of hummingbird-fast heart and metabolism.

That, like both times I have read her aura, convinces me. The “woman” is mostly an angel.

No wonder she is such a delight to watch, so loved by so many.

What didn’t I expect, when I started this research for wonderful SUZANNE? Last time I read Ellen and Portia, neither one was Enlightened.

So, Blog-Buddies, here’s one more reason to politically support gay and lesbian marriage. It can help bring on Enlightenment.
