Blessings When you first hear the word "blessings," perhaps you're drawn back to your classic religious upbringing when it was Easter Sunday. You got dressed in your patent leather shoes and the hat that your mother bought you. In your crisp dress and very pastel coat, you went to church and sat in the pew. The sun shone in, and for one of the first times all year you actually enjoyed being in church. Many of the Sundays weren't like that. Some Sundays, you got out of bed and threw on some clothes, and your mother herded you into the car. You fought with your brothers and sisters, and when you finally got to church, you didn't understand a word the pastor was saying. You were bored and tired and twitchy, and your mother would give you that look. You couldn't wait for the service to end, when you'd all go out for french fries and cokes at the local five and dime. But Easter Sunday was always very special. It was a time of great celebration. The message was so clear: a great defeat had suddenly and magical become the most wondrous of triumphs. That felt like a true blessing. You were often told to count your blessings, that blessings were the good things: your loving parents, the food on your table, your health. You began to associate blessings only with those things that were good and warm and gave you something. Blessings were meant to serve you, and you were expected to be very grateful for getting them. They came few and far between sometimes, but when they did, and you could actually recognize them as blessings, you made a point to count on them. The purpose of this depiction of blessings is to now ask you to shift your focus. Look at this old definition of what a blessing might be and completely juxtapose it. Transpose the meaning of blessing from a noun to a verb. A blessing, then, is not a thing that comes to you from the outside, like a good job or a plate of food. (Yes, of course, be thankful for those things because they, too, are blessings.) Blessing is now something that you do. This means you not only receive blessings, but you're also in the act of blessing. That puts an entirely different spin on it. Taking this perspective enables you to bless all the things that come before you: all of the items on your plate, all of the circumstances of your life, no matter how painful or difficult. You still may not wish to go through them. You may need to take a day or so to go away and stomp on some sidewalks to get over them. But blessing your life makes it easier to understand the purpose behind those seemingly negative things. Perhaps there are some who don't understand how something terrible could be considered a blessing. That's when you need to look at it as a verb. Blessing is an action. People lined the roads where Jesus walked in order to receive His blessing. That's what you're being challenged to do, to bless your life, no matter how you judge it. This doesn't mean you have to go out like a zealous religionist and bless all of the people in your path, as if you're doing them a great favor. It means that when something comes at you that might appear to be a downfall, give it your blessing. Accept it as something you yourself have agreed to create for yourself to learn a lesson. Let's say you're driving along and someone smashes into the side of your car. You get out of the car and try to think, okay, this must be a blessing. Then you go on to complain about the other driver, how careless they were, and how this is such an inconvenience because it's your new car, and, "Why do these things always happen to me?" That isn't a full completion of the action of blessing. To choose to bless means to learn to honor your life, even the car accident, as holy. You honor whatever the situation, no matter how painful and destructive and terrible it looks, by saying, "I give this my blessing. I trust that God brought this into my life to teach me." Then you proceed to dissect the situation thoroughly to extract as many lessons from it as you can. Do you often drive too fast? Is this accident a warning to slow down? Were you fated to meet this person who ran into you? Are you now more in touch with a deep emotion that otherwise might not have come up? Are you lucky you weren't killed? By blessing the situation, you open yourself up to examination of not only the event, but your relationship to it. In any given situation, there's not just one lesson to learn, there are a myriad of lessons. You can choose how much you're going to study. The more you study, the deeper you go. The deeper you go, the more you learn from that lesson. The more you learn, the more you're able to choose to bless your life, as it's happening. And the more you bless your life, the more joy and hope you can create for yourself. You might think blessing your life like this is too difficult. Indeed, sometimes it is. There are times when your loss is so fresh or new, the emotions so close to the surface that you can't sort through the lessons. In that case, make a conscious decision to bless the situation, and then take a break. Set it aside, leave the school room for awhile, go out on recess. The bell will certainly ring again, calling you back. There's no judgment in taking a break. After an event that has brought you pain and confusion, there is no harm in taking some time to feel that pain and confusion before you delve into trying to learn the lesson anew. When you're confused or in pain, feeling a great loss, wondering about an illness or any other circumstance in your life, take a simple step to help yourself. Begin by blessing whatever it is in your life that you don't wish to have. Then take one more step and at least admit, even without belief, that there could be, perhaps, possibly, you may not be too sure, but you're going to say it anyway because someone told you to, that there might be something important to learn here. That simple attitude is going to be the beginning of a great change for you. Coupled with the knowledge that you have access to all the love you will ever need inside you, your heart can't help but be growing daily. When you wake tomorrow, think of your day ahead. Make a promise to yourself that you'll play with this idea of blessing your life, if only for one day. Try to remember this promise throughout the day, no matter what's in front of you. You may end up, while you're driving to work, thinking it's silly. Then someone will cut in front of you and you'll find yourself saying, "This is a blessing. What can I learn?" Have fun with it. Don't be afraid to gently kid yourself about it. If you can laugh at yourself, you can begin to see the power that simply changing your perspective has. Then, maybe by lunch time, you won't even have to work at it. You'll drop your plate in the cafeteria and joyfully shout, "Wow, another huge BLESSING! What might I possibly be trying to teach myself now!?" The funny thing is, there's only one lesson: learning to love yourself. Learn to give yourself the blessings: knowledge, patience and trust, hope and motivation. Then your entire life will become a blessing. It becomes a privilege to be alive, a luxury to feel emotions. Once you learn to bless yourself, you become a never-ending circle of power and grace, light and love. Self-contained, energy-efficient, you're capable of taking on the greatest challenges. Do you understand? When you look outside yourself for someone to fill you, you actually break that circle of self-sufficient power in order to seek outside yourself. So why do that? It's like an armadillo. When an armadillo is threatened, it curls up in a circle to protect it's most vulnerable part. While its predators are perplexed by the hardness of the outer shell of the armadillo, they know within that protective circle is the most tender and precious heart. But, if the armadillo were to look up and outside itself, it would leave itself open to become simply another dinner. So, invite these blessings into your life. We're not meant to come into this world and live as islands. Use the opportunities before you for the lessons they provide and as road maps leading you back inside yourself. And THAT is a blessing!   TOP

Trust Trust. It seems that everyone has "trust issues." How are you going to trust that this relationship is the right one for you? How are you going to trust that you'll ever find a partner with whom you can share your life? And what about trusting that this is the right job? The best place to live? These are several of the many common trust issues everyone has had to deal with. Now, imagine you're walking along the edge of a very high precipice. You know that if you make a wrong move, you're going to tumble off the cliff, probably hit your head on the rocks below and that will be your demise. Because of this possible outcome, you take every step in fear. That's an issue with trust. What you're really dealing with is a fear of trust. You fear that if you trust you have a firm footing and believe you won't fall, then you'll surely fall. Everyone, at some time or another, has thought that if they believed something good would happen, surely something terrible would come instead. So you trick yourself into projecting the worst case scenario. Remember the saying, "Expect the worst, but hope for the best?" The logic is, if the worst thing happens, you'll be happy because you were right. But if the best thing happens instead, you'll also be happy because the worst thing didn't come about. Either way, you think this worst case scenario is somehow going to protect you from being needlessly hurt. What you must realize is that continually trusting in the worst case scenario becomes a cycle of thinking that eventually begins to influence your relationship to the creation of your life's experiences. It also prevents you from experiencing the joy of trust. You might then ask, "But how do I know what to trust within myself? I thought I could trust myself. I thought I could walk that precipice, but suddenly I was on the rocks at the bottom." Understand that every step you take along that precipice, even if it's the one that misses the ground and causes you to tumble over the edge, is purposeful. If you fall, there was great purpose in that fall. Trust doesn't come in not falling, but in the knowing that if you do fall, you'll have enough wherewithal to pick yourself up, go back to that cliff, and begin again. Perhaps now you'll look more carefully and see a rock in the path that you hadn't seen before. Then you can push the rock out of your way and proceed (until you inevitably fall again). The trick is believing in this purpose, even in the times when it's the most difficult to understand. There's always going to be pain in life. No, it's not fun, or a vacation on the beach, but it does have purpose. Don't push it away. Don't make the pain something to escape from. Find a way to utilize that pain. Take the pain and use it to get to know yourself better. Even when you're the most distressed and downhearted, when you can't even stand to be in the same room with yourself, just try to accept yourself a little bit. Couple the acceptance of your pain with the idea that you don't have to understand all the mysteries of life. Just be whoever you are, pain and all. Then you're able to open up to receive more of the eternal part of yourself. This change in perspective is how you will learn to trust. To understand more about where the fear of trust comes from, go back into the past, through all of the events of your childhood that psychologists say molded you into the person that you are. Those are absolutely valid and useful tools to look at, but they're not the end all and be all, not the whole picture of what formed you into a person who is afraid to trust. To see the bigger picture, you must go back to the moment you were born. That's the point where your fear of trust originated. What is the connection between being born into this world and your fear of trust? Before you were born, your spirit hovered around your mother and her womb. You were free, as a spirit, to either move in and out of her womb, or rest there in that quiet, peaceful place. Either way, the purpose of that in-between time was so you could slowly make the transition from spirit to flesh. As a spirit, you were expansive: you knew things at the speed of light; you could create simply by thought; you knew how to fly and love without restriction. The moment you were born, you took your first breath and your body breathed in your spirit. At that moment, the two parts, spirit and flesh, were cemented together. When you became flesh and blood, you became a creature filled with doubt, who didn't understand the workings of the world. You worried, and had to deal with money, and were always being tripped up by the ego trying to convince you that you weren't enough. And that was a good day! What started from a place of spirit, a place of infinite dimensions and senses, of telepathy and love became a world of flesh, with hate and fear, loathing and warring and conflict. From that first breath, everything you experienced resided within a framework of the limited three dimensions and five senses. Can you begin to see why the very act of being born involves a deep-seated, innate form of trust? So, what's the purpose of coming into this limited human life? Because life in these human bodies is the greatest lesson of all, and that's what your spirit trusted before you came here. Learning to trust is remembering that spiritual part of you and accepting that life is a mystery. You're never going to understand every aspect of life in the flesh. No one's going to come and make clear to you your place in the big picture. That's because you create your place in the big picture, you get to choose your relationship to your own life. You can either trust in yourself as a spiritual being having a human experience and in the mystery of life, or you can see yourself as a pitiful person who only has pain, suffering, and chaos visited upon them. You have the choice: you can choose to shrug your shoulders every morning and drag yourself through another day, but understand that you are creating that perception for yourself. The good news is that, if you have the power to create it, you also have the power to change it. Trust is one of the most pressing issues we, as a culture, face. It doesn't matter whether you're spiritual, religious, atheist or agnostic. Few have "faith issues." Not many have "hope issues." But everyone has "trust issues." Every issue you have, whether it be of love, trust, faith or hope, is rooted in disempowerment. Your life is a series of puzzle pieces that fit together to form the gridwork of your everyday existence as a spiritual being having a human experience. If you're not able to see from that perspective just yet, then at least look at your life as a learning experience. When you begin to realize that your infinite spirit believed in the mystery, and trusted that it wasn't going to disintegrate when it cemented itself with that tiny, limited human body, you'll begin to become empowered. There's a lot of talk these days about self-empowerment. You hear it at work and in modern psychology. But the bottom line is that no one can make you trust them if you don't trust them. No one can make you trust that the steps you take in your life are the right ones for you. No one can empower you. Learning to trust yourself is a huge step toward self-empowerment. As you walk along the precipice, trust that, even if you do fall, you'll have the wherewithal, courage and knowledge to learn from that fall. Then later, when you're walking again, you'll be strengthened by what you learned. This process will help you see your life from a broader perspective. It's a different kind of trust than simply trusting that you'll never ever fall. Can you see the difference? Think about hope. When you can't trust the universe to bring you hope, you can light a candle outside yourself. The light of the candle is an outward manifestation of your inner light. This is an act of trust: even when you can't see your own light in that moment, on some level, you trust it's there. The small ritual of lighting that candle brings you one step out of your despair and into a more trusting place. This is empowerment. Then there's motivation. Motivation involves believing you're a spiritual being, knowing you're also human. It's about picking up the key to your life, finding the nearest ignition, putting the key in, and driving away. This, too, is self-empowerment. Just because you might have trust issues doesn't mean you're some loser and can never learn to trust. It's not that you're cursed or have bad karma or are destined to be alone. It can always be traced back to your own lack of love. Trust in yourself. In the moments before you wake, there's a time of transition, when your consciousness shifts its focus from the dream world, that place connected to all eternity, into the physical reality, what appears to be a tiny world with limited capability. The same thing happens when you are born. So every morning when you wake up, you're born anew. When you first wake each morning, remember these words. Start to change your perspective of who you. Remember you're a spiritual being having a human experience. Begin to see your eternal self in the bigger picture of your physical life. Remember who you are from that eternal place, and you can begin to heal and trust. As a spiritual being in human form, you're here to empower yourself in order to resolve the conflicts in your life and to help heal the fear of the planet. That is your purpose. It's no small thing you've chosen to come and do. But it must start within your own self. It's not about anyone else coming to heal you, and it doesn't begin with anything outside you. As you learn to pick up your power and begin to love and trust yourself, your external world will also change. Not just your local universe, but indeed the entire planet. By healing your own inner fears, and learning to trust, you contribute to the energy of the entire planet. It's one small but important way for you to help bring peace to the world as a whole. So don't be afraid to trust yourself. If anything, trust that, even if you don't understand the broader perspective of eternity, you are here for a reason, and that's to learn to love yourself. Self-love is how you'll find your way back home. It is the greatest purpose of being a spiritual being in a human body. TOP Conflict Resolution Tonight we see a sparkling sky filled with the brilliant light of many stars. You have come together with a common goal in mind, though it may not have been conscious mind. There is a mystery involved in coming together on this crossroads. There is purpose in that mystery. Having preconceived ideas of how events are going to fall limits your view of many other things within the situation. Tonight, you have people who have never heard us speak before, some who have heard or been in the periphery, and others who are sitting in the center. This is not a reflection of ability to understand. It is a declaration of experience. Within each of you individually, and then as a group, is a voice that speaks. It is not the particular voice speaking now, and it may not be our particular voices. It is the collection of voices raised together to form one voice. This is the evolutionary process. It seems simplistic to say it in this way and yet we know no better way to describe it. Think of it as the individual parts forming together to make one large collective part. In this way it is like a body. Think of each one of you as a particular part to the body. This person might serve the function of the kidneys. This person might serve the function of the heart. This person might be involved in the function of the brain. In this way, each individual has their own purpose, but are all working together for the common good of the body. Within each of your bodies you would not have your kidney be in conflict with your heart, or your stomach in conflict with your veins. It is important for all of you to understand the necessity of looking at each other as parts of a body rather than human beings in conflict. This particular lesson can not be stressed enough for you. You often come in contact with people who cause you conflict. This seems unavoidable. Yet, you are the source of that conflict. You can look at someone else and lay claim to their actions and how they are causing a conflict within your life, but every conflict you are involved in is within your own self. The source is within your own self. If you begin to look at life that way, you begin to see where your power actually lies in being able to resolve these conflicts. If you do not believe this is the basis of the evolutionary process, you only have to look around at how much conflict is in your world, not just in your own personal lives, but in the bigger world, the global community, the country, the state, the cities, the block, your home and your own minds. Constantly dealing with conflicts is the road to evolutionary change. It may seem futile or counter productive, but it is not. It is through the resolution of the conflict that the Earth plane will evolve. There are many on the Earth plane who are not attuned to understanding this within self. Even many of you here find this conceptually plausible, but in your heart it is easier to point at someone else and make them the source of the conflict. What you begin to understand as you embrace this idea is how to prevent yourself from fueling the fire of the conflict. We begin with this concept because it is indeed the basis of evolution. You cannot evolve without embracing this concept. The Earth plane cannot evolve without overcoming the conflicts within its reality at this time. It is a slow process to you, but from our prospective, where there is no time, it is neither slow nor fast, it simply is. Part of resolving conflicts has to do with the judgments you make. We cannot stress this enough for you. When you are in a group of people-your work situation, or neighborhood, or church-and look upon your fellow human beings in a judgmental way, you limit your ability to see them for who they truly are: souls involved on the Earth plane. If you look at them as human incarnates with all of their flaws, it will seem easy to judge them as bad or small minded, or unlike you. By judging them, you separate yourself from them. Thus you create the illusion and live under the misconception you are either different from them or better than they are, or perhaps, not as good. In some way, you draw a line that differentiates you from them. If you could see from our perspective, you would see the human race as one body. You would see a cluster of humanity that functions as the heart, one that functions as the liver. You would see altogether how humanity functions as a whole. The illness, the wars, the strife of your society is reflected in that image to us like a sickly person is reflected to you. Cancer in your society is the reflection of that inner conflict. When you make a judgment of people and separate yourself, you contribute to the cause of the conflict. We hear voices now from your conscious minds saying how difficult it would be to not have judgments. You think it's necessary to have judgments in order to define reality. This is not so. You can say that is a table. That is not a judgment, that is a definition. If you say that is a useless table, then you are making a judgment. As you think, "That is a useless table" because of some personal preference, because it does not meet needs within you, totally disregarding the fact that other people may be putting their feet on it, or it is supporting the magazines and the candles. Your judgment of it is from a totally subjective point of view and that separates you from it. It is perhaps a difficult thing to conceptualize at this time, but you are not separate from the table. It appears as if you are because the three dimensions and the five senses draw the lines that separates skin from wood, but you are one with that table. You are one with each other. This is the continuing lesson that needs to be played for you as human beings on a regular basis. It is not because you are stupid or incapable of learning. It is simply that the constructs of these five senses, these three dimensions are so severe in your eyes. You have lived so intensely in this focus that the idea that you are one with table does not make sense on some level. Yet on another level you have been taught in your spiritual upbringing that you are one with each other. The teachings of Christ Jesus emphasize this to a very great degree. Throughout the ages these teachings have been interpreted and translated into a more human level, which has taken away from the impact and the power. Yet the very basic teaching is that we are all one with each other. Now we are telling you also that you are with us. We share a common mind and a similar soul. Within each of you there is a piece of your soul that is intersecting with all other souls, including those of us who are here in what you have been calling the ethers. It is very much like a mathematical equation where you have a form with a common piece within and another form with a common piece, you see, until all beings and souls are superimposed upon each other sharing that piece of the soul that is common to all. That is what you term God, or Higher Power. As we see you, you are sitting. We see you in your human form, separate each in your own choirs, in your own places. But (and we will use these terms figuratively) up from behind you are these long arms of your soul that go back to the part of your soul that is viewing from a higher level. Within that part of your soul is that piece that is common to everything that lives and breathes, every bit of consciousness. That piece of God is in you. Consequently, being human is your access to God and what you need to learn and develop in order to evolve. Take that piece that is within you and grow it until it fills your very being. In this way it is much like a hand puppet. If you were the hand puppet simply lying lifeless on the table, it is the hand of God that would come and fill up your being and make you move and think. This is the set up of being on the Earth plane and being human. What has happened throughout the course of evolution is that a component within the thinking process, called the ego, has gotten out of control. It has taken over and influenced the development of human beings and culture. Now your "job" is to counteract that. It has been set up for you throughout the course of the ages through spiritual teaching that has been passed down from generation to generation. In this particular time, there is an opportunity for you to make a quantum leap. We cannot talk to you enthusiastically enough about this, because it is a magnificently exciting time for all of you. This is a magnificent opportunity for you to do the unbelievable. This goes back to taking that bit of God that is within you and expanding it and filling up self from within that peace. What that will require of you is to find a way to diminish ego without completely obliterating it. Then you would loose the identity of who each of you are individually. Your ego defines you. It makes you into who you are in this particular life. Every life that you lived has a different ego involved, but the same soul. In order to fill up your inner self with this part of the soul, you first must recognize that piece of soul is within everyone. It is shared. It is a common quality that every single life form, human being, individual has. When you look at someone and judge them as different you diminish that part of self that is soul within you by allowing the ego to fill up more of yourself. If you can fill yourself up with the part of soul that is the interface you begin to see where you are responsible for conflict. Then you are able to diminish conflict and create peace from within. As you recognize that your fellow human beings have this part of you that is within your heart, this gets taken out and put in their heart. Suddenly, do they not look different? Suddenly do you not see your heart beating in that body? Do you not feel more compassion? Do you not feel more understanding, as though you have enough patience to listen and to resolve whatever kind of conflict may arise? This is essential for your development. We cannot stress this enough. Begin tomorrow experimenting with this perception. View every single human that crosses your path in this way. They are carrying around within their bodies a piece of your heart. Then you begin to find a sense of protection for them rather than constantly being in conflict with them. This is not something that will overtake you instantaneously. This is not something that you will simply at a snap of a finger be able to do. But as you begin to play with this idea and supply this to every scenario where you are experiencing conflict, you will see dramatic effects take place. It does not matter-your children, your husbands and wives, your coworkers, your parents, everyone that you apply this particular concept will show a dramatic change within. How human beings deal with each other is the essence of the evolutionary change. {New Voice} There are so many who are lost now. You might count yourselves among them. On particular days as you drive or sit or whatever activity you are engaged in, there is a sense of confusion and loss that is prevalent at this time. We strongly feel that all of you understand this intrinsically. It is a confusion. It is not a loss as if all is lost. It is simply this sense that you have been working and working and where are you going? It is a bit of a frustration, but mostly it is wanting more instruction, intrinsic understanding that you can apply to daily situations that can help you to evolve. We need to tell you that we can give you that. We can give you step by step instructions. We have indeed tried to do that, but your part is to understand that the evolutionary process is not necessarily something that will come out of the sky like a lightening bolt, give you great insight and leave you complete. You must understand and again, we cannot stress enough that you will constantly be undergoing the process of evolution. It is a constant. There is a familiar phrase that says the only thing that does not change is that everything changes. This embodies the idea of the evolutionary process. The more that you can embrace the idea as a state of mind, rather than something that occasionally may happen to you, or something that will happen and be over with, the more you can apply evolution to every event of your life, to every person that you meet. Every instance of being alive offers you an opportunity to evolve. You can embrace it and see it that way, then look for the miracles that come out of it. Or you can resist and cause conflict. You can bury your head in the sand and some days you may have to do that. You may feel a need to be resistant and let your ego self take over, but even in those times, know that it is only a moment that is passing until you will emerge again to throw yourself into the events of the world and learn this evolution. There is a very important time that is occurring right now in your Earth plane. It is a period that began a little before the beginning of this particular year and is going to move into the spring. It is not a long period. But it is a time of great possibility. It is a time when things are thrown up in the air, the time between the time they are thrown and when they come down. There is this sense now on this Earth that everything is all sort of helter skelter. But look at this as a particularly fertile time to do whatever sort of psychic and spiritual development that you are looking for. Look in the day to day undertakings. Do not look necessarily in going to church once a week or a particular time where you meditate. Again we are not saying these are things you should not do. We are saying move your focus into the everyday events. Find a focus on these everyday events that will allow you to see with your human eyes through them, much like spoken of earlier. Look into the human heart of the person sitting beside you in the restaurant, or your coworker. Actually physically look in, see past the clothing, past the skin. Look in and see the heart beating. We are trying to get you to focus your attention on the day to day. What might be seemingly unimportant events will hold the answers to your questions. Yes, engage yourself in meditation, go to church and worship, read books of inspiration and information, but do no overlook all of the other scenarios that are happening for you right before your eyes. These are where you will find God. These are where you will find God within you. These are where you find God that connects your God to this God to that God, thus and so onward out until you have created a beautiful body of humanity that works together. Is that not your goal ? Is that not your desire? Those who have begun this organization wish to better the world through their children. Children know nothing else but what is before them. They are so absorbed in the process. Do you remember when you were children, how it seemed like time was eternity? That is because all eternity is contained in the moment. So when you leave here and go off in your world tomorrow and come in contact with other human beings, you will see a dramatic difference in how you perceive them. In these moments you will find that evolutionary change. We are the ones to tell you how important your humor is. Isn't it true that humor can unite? For example, when you tell a joke, everyone laughs and shares in the same emotion, providing, of course, it's a good enough joke. Humor cannot be overlooked. If you find a humor in every situation, the humor lightens your load. You must not underestimate the power of laughter. As you go forth in the world and begin to look at your fellow human beings in the way that we have been suggesting, throw in a little dose of humor. This can be in any way. Gaze upon the fellow who is sitting next to you on the bus. As you gaze through his clothing and into his heart, think perhaps about what color his underwear is. Giving yourself a little chuckle is much more freeing that having a heavy somber feeling. This is the most important thing in the world. To take yourself so seriously is counterproductive. It counteracts the effects of trying to bring yourselves together. We don't mean to say that this humor has to be the kind that degrades or is sarcastic, but the seriousness tries to make you feel more self important. The whole idea here is for us to get you to feel less self important. It is not that you are not important. In fact, each and everyone of you is tremendously important. You each have a purpose to fulfill here, but for you to think constantly that you are so important defeats the purpose of you being important. Bear in mind that there is a difference between sarcasm, which is a self defeating kind of cynical, biting humor, and satire. Satire is where nothing is reverent. You can really make fun in a lighthearted way of just about anything. If you can make fun of yourself in any situation, that is tremendously powerful. That puts you in a place of having nothing to loose. If you have nothing to loose, then there is no danger. There is no risk because you have already lost everything. That is quite an advantageous place to be. Who can then come and take from you, who can rob you, who can steal? Who can take your dignity, or take your self respect, or take anything when you have already freely relinquished it all? There you sit with nothing but a mind and a heart. If you begin to laugh at that you see that you actually are very rich. You have everything you need. The reason that no one can come and take this away from you is not because you really don't have it. It is because you will not allow it. When someone comes to "make fun" of you, you can simply join in and throw your head back and agree. You see how that diminishes and illuminates conflict? Isn't it amazing! At this time we feel it is quite evident to you the different personalities who have been sharing themselves with you tonight. This gathering is an invaluable platform for us. We are learning to speak to you this way. This is something that is going on all across the planet. In keeping with the theme of being a part of a body of humans, at this very moment in other parts of the country and other parts of the world, people are coming together in this very way, allowing us the time and the energy to speak to you. Every personality that comes through has a particular purpose in their lessons to give to you, but also to help them evolve. This is not something that has ever been so wide spread on the Earth plane as now. This is because of the evolutionary change that is happening that has not occurred on the Earth plane in this civilization. That is why we are lining up behind the channel to come and speak. One of the purposes to having you all come regularly is so that you yourselves will be able to channel in this way. If you could all channel in this way, which you can, then you would have direct access to the interface within you. This place of God. Because when we enter the channel and speak in this way, that is the interface that is common to both us and the channel and you. Because you are hearing the voice. When you meditate and you go and meet us there, that is a different kind of power. That is a dreamtime power if we can call it that. It is a power that is gathered in the ethers in that particular world. It is not that it is unimportant or not powerful. This way, done in the three dimensions, in the five senses, holds far more impact on the conscious mind because it is done through the senses. In meditation and in dreams you are in that ethereal world, that eternal world. That reinforces that particular side of life for you. But it is very powerful to hear us speak with a human voice! This is why we ask you to come. The process of giving you this information with a human body is far more impacting than anything you can otherwise experience in the three dimensions. This is something that you can then later say was not as miraculous as it seems because you tend to forget, but as it is happening now, you cannot deny. You can say perhaps the channeler may not have that kind of insight into each of you individually. With that we would like to begin by having you have an opportunity to each ask us a particular question. Feel free to have it be either a general question about the nature of this evolutionary change or something that can be very specific to your particular life. It is not so important that we deal in generalities so that you will all understand. What is important here tonight is that you have an opportunity to feel our voice directed into your heart, into that interface that we all share so the connection will be made even stronger. Then when you do go out into the world tomorrow morning you can recall that connection so strongly. It will begin to fade again, but then you come back and you reinforce it and it will begin to fade again, but not to the degree it did before. Then you come back and reinforce it. When we say come back we do not necessarily mean that you come back constantly to this very room. You come back to the voices within your head having heard them now so strongly. When they are within you they will be even clearer than they had been. Do you, meaning you the entities, have a vision of where you think this is all heading to? Is there any kind of vision, or is this just a continuing process that keeps going on and on? Speaking specifically about the Earth plane? Yes. The vision that we have is that human beings regain the use of their intuition so strongly that they begin to deal with each other from a place of soul as opposed to human beings. This will have a tremendous impact upon the Earth plane. And speaking of it in this way will affect the evolutionary process and how people deal with each other. The goal sounds rather simplistic - world peace. Can you imagine that? It is difficult. But these are the beginnings of planting seeds of peace within each individual human being. The entire history of civilization has led up to this. These lessons, these groups, these training sessions that are going on all over the world are uniting people on that level. It will affect such a dramatic change that you will become a person that you had not even dreamed of. The next few months for you (and all of you) is going to be very dramatic. You are going to unEarth the source of this fear within you. You have been working on this for quite some time in your life. In the next few months you will have some major revelations about not only the source of the fear, but how to overcome it. This will take place in two particular areas for you - in the body, with body work, and in a meditation session, perhaps with the help of a guide or a facilitator. You will overcome the fear from within you. You will see that this fear is part of your ego and your self-importance. As the ego shrinks, you open up space within you to allow your intuition to take over and make your decisions for you, rather than falling into the analytical phases of weighing this and weighing that and should and can't and will and won't. It will be more instantaneous decision-making - making and accepting a decision and knowing that you will derive what you need from it. The strength and the courage that come from overcoming the fear will be phenomenal for you. This is going to greatly change the way that you deal with life.   TOP

September 18, 2001 Compassion We command that only the most divine light shine down upon you at this time, and the Greatest Good be present here, now. Yes indeed, never before has your planet been on the brink of such possibility. Through the fear and confusion, through the conditions you might think of as War, comes a light from within. We would like to address this light, the light that shines in the hearts of every human, even the seemingly heartless ones. To reach those lights in those who appeared to be filled with hate, we, as angels, can time travel back to when those angry and bitter humans were still little babies, being loved by their mothers, being nurtured and fed and held. It is to those hearts we appeal at this time. To begin we would to address the hearts of those who have lost loved ones. These souls have all been met in Afterlife by angelic forces. There is, aside from the shock of the departure, a great joy of being back in Spirit with other loved ones. Here there is time to erase the imprint of the memory of the departure. Here there is only love, and rest, and comfort, although we daresay that this group of souls is ready and eager to stand to help with the challenge of bringing peace to the world. There is not one soul who will not agree: they stand united to say DO NOT HATE THOSE WHO DID THIS TO US. They do not say this because those who perpetrated this act should not stand accountable. They say this because any hatred you hold in your hearts right now will only compound the situation. We will deal with the logistics of how this could be true later on. For now, please know your loved ones are safe and well taken care of, and stand ready to be here in the transformation of the entire human species. Also know that many of those who were taken in this incident would like to explain that, many of them were under a plan of their own personal karmic retribution. Many of these souls had lived before and participated in the holocaust. Many of the workers at Ground Zero were guards in that event, and have been born again to experience that from the other side. This is a great balancing act, they say, and while they would not recommend leaving the planet as they did, they can say now quite definitely that they understand the purpose of what happened. Now they stand ready to help you, their remaining loved ones, understand too. So they say, pray for those who perpetrated this, as if they were your own. Understand there is a greater plan in place than your human minds can grasp. And most of all, be open to the feelings of grief and sorrow, because later on, it will be essential to have felt all this deep emotion. Mostly, know they are safe now. We are not here to scold you, or make sweeping predictions about the end of the world. Yes, it is the end of your world as you know it. This is part of the plan implemented hundreds and thousands of years ago. We can hear your collective conscious minds rise up and ask, "Who would create such a terrible plan filled with so much fear and hatred and terror?" Yes, it was you, dear children. You volunteered and were chosen to come to Earth at this time to MAKE A DIFFERENCE in the plan. So do not think of this plan as some immutable destiny you must march into like sheep. Think of this plan as a blueprint, as basic direction that can then be challenged, changed, shored up, eliminated and rewritten. This is what is going to help you the most through these coming days of challenging your personal power: to allow the plan to UNFOLD through you, you as instruments of Peace. Do not cling to a particular aspect of what you think is the plan. Allow the energy of Love to become you. Today we would like to help you understand how you can "un-create" the world as you know it. This is not about destruction, it's about taking your world as your own creation, and making a conscious choice to view the world differently. It might seem like merely changing your view would not help at a time like this. We understand you feel so powerless and out of control. We understand you perceive these world events to be happening outside your realm of jurisdiction. But we are here to tell you this is not so. And we ask you, what have you really got to lose by attempting to adopt a different perspective? Even the most hard hearted and fear-filled of you admit, your terror of losing the world as you know it is already upon you. You have lost that world. So now is the time, in the void of uncertainly, in the fear of pre- and procreation, to develop a new world view. First of all, these events viewed from the human heart of compassion, are unspeakable. For those who lost loved ones in the episode, your hearts are breaking, filled with grief and loss and possibly anger at those who did this. This is completely understandable. We would advise you to feel all those feelings without holding onto them or blaming the perpetrators. We mean, feel everything as deeply as you can. Develop a personal, intimate relationship to those feelings. This will help you through in the days and weeks ahead, and it is certainly the first step in un-creating the horrors and horrendously potential outcomes of the situation. We have been selected to begin delivering a series of messages to you. We are pleased and honored that Barbara once again has agreed to be our heart, our mind and our fingers. She will also be directed to post the audio recordings on the internet. We ask that those who read these words, do your absolutely finest to abide by the instruction, even in the face of all the danger and uncertainty. What we are going to attempt to teach you is how to view the world from the metaphysical levels, while still remaining conscious and awake in the physical levels. What this means is, we are attempting to take you into the infrastructure of how life is created and show you how to use this knowledge to dream world peace. Yes, even in this dangerous time, we believe with all our hearts that this cataclysmic event is a catalyst for this work. You have now been stripped of the false securities you have often lingered under. You now feel the pain that so many other humans in the world feel every day. We talked to you about human rights so many times, but the buffer of tap water and markets filled with food, big cars and seemingly unlimited fuel prevented you from really feeling, first hand, what the rest of the world experiences. This is NOT to say you deserve the horror reigned down upon you. The point being that no human deserves the horrors that have been visited on any part of the world. But you, as Americans, have had the resources to keep the illusions in place longer than the rest of the world. This event, as horrifying as it has been, has indeed been a wake up call to your hearts and souls. And now, with nothing left for you to lose, you can listen and hear like you never have before. And that is our hope, that we can reach the hearts, minds and intuitions of as many humans in the receptive condition as possible to instigate a world-wide change in how the planet relates to one another. This is no small potato thing we are talking about. Do not think we are being cavalier about our intentions to create World Peace. This is indeed the most massive undertaking of influencing human spirit as we have ever known ourselves, but, from this place of spirit, it is already taken care of. Dreaming World Peace What does this mean to dream world peace? We do not just mean sitting on the couch, daydreaming about having your illusions back. When we say dreaming, we mean creating a place in your body, coupled with conscious acceptance of your power of creator, to infiltrate the infrastructure of human life with the intention to bring peace. This is a PROACTIVE participation that we hope to inspire as many humans as we can to participate in. It begins with the basic concepts of how life is created. We are not talking about science, and yet, there are many scientific elements to this picture. We are talking about meta-science, the speculation into your own power. How is it that you can perceive the world? What makes up your five senses, and your ability to see the three-four-five dimensions? How does this all work? To begin with, there is the Source of all life. It is from this Source that every human springs: Arab, Israeli, Russian, Pakistani, American, French, Chinese, etc. etc. Every single being that has chosen to come to the planet springs from such a life Source. Think of this Source as the ultimate paradox. For there is, at one and the same time, all potential, all possibility, all life, and, contrarily, there is the nothingness. The emptiness of the vacancy, the void. In this paradox, light shines with all potential, and yet nothing exists. This light, shining out in all directions and carrying all knowledge, all information, all potential, then hits the Human Intention, and a human life is born. This Human Intention is like a prism. It serves to separate the light into discernable colors, forms, hues, tones, etc. This Human Intention is also like a giant projector, projecting the world off the prism into the giant screen of sensory possibility. So, each day when you rise and see the sun, you perceive that this sun is outside yourself. But it is actually originating from within you. You surely have heard the masters tell you through the ages, "As Within, So Without." This is more than just a metaphor: this is the basis of being able to perceive human life. You are just so deeply ensconced in your perception of it being outside you, that you have never been trained to perceive the truth, which is, you are the creator of your life, and your life springs from the world within you. Just sitting in a chair, doing nothing, you are the vessel for that mysterious life force, bubbling up through you, creating the perceptions of skin and organs, eyes, and hearts, of the chair itself and then everything else outside yourself. But we are here to tell you, only the inner world is eternal, and it is from that inner world that you will dream a new world of Peace. What has happened here is that the prism of Human Intention has flaws and mars and conflict. The human heart, meant to be so open and flowing of emotion, has been choked off by the steely intellect. Each and every time an emotions enters through the heart, the intellect uses it's bullying power to judge, diminish and otherwise negate the experience of the spontaneous emotion. Whether it be anger, sadness, happiness, joy, feeling these emotions is essential to health, human life, as well as making sure the projections around you that are perceived as the "outer" world remain peaceful and harmonious. Feeling this emotion also ties you to every other human on the planet. If you allow yourself to feel compassion for yourself, you create the capability to have compassion for others, and therefore, make compassionate choices. Part of the denial of these feelings has been the vast material wealth you have amassed that anesthetizes you to yourself. Instead of experiencing your emotions, you sometime shop for clothing, cars or goods. Instead of feeling your emotions, you smoke cigarettes and drink alcohol. Instead of feeling your feelings, you strive to make more money. Don't misunderstand: we are not judging you for these things, we are merely reporting the effects of choosing to do them. In this choking off of emotions comes a different projection: conflicts amongst people. We are here to tell you, there is no evil outside you. There is only evil in the form of the light, on it's way to creating all divine potential, being interrupted by the conflicts present in the human mechanism. It is only through human choices that evil manifests on the planet. We do not tell you this to point some sanctimonious finger at you and say YOU ARE EVIL. Because truth be told, you are also divine. You have the power to go within, find those conflicts between your head and your heart, heal them, transform them, and replace them with acceptance and nurturing and love. Now, you think, how pie in the sky of us to insist than a little self love can change this awful Global situation. We say, do not be fooled into thinking you are not as powerful as we say you are. This has been your downfall all along. You have the power to cleanse the prism, to dream a new world of Peace and harmony, but ONLY if you first begin within yourselves. So, yes, the world is a giant mirror, reflecting all the fear and pain and angst that truly exists within you that your comfortable illusions have never allowed you to truly experience. And there is no mistake about this. Because your mission here is to learn to live in the free will system. You need to look in that world mirror, and then reflect within you where, on a microscopic level in your life, have you been harboring evil? We can define evil by saying simply choices made intended to diminish life. Call it hate, but it is not so apparent as being in touch with hate inside you. Most of you would say you don't hate. You say you would never do this to another country. That you love your life, the people around you, the world. Yes, we understand, there is also the truth of the love you experience, but we say, look deeper. Look at your own lives with the ultimate self-scrutiny right now. Look for all the places you might have not known your true intentions, because your illusions of comfort hide them from you. Look deep to where you didn't even know you had a life. Look and feel and breathe. If you are having difficulty identifying what parts of your are hate, use the prism model. Look outside yourself. Identify what the other person/country is "doing to you." Define it, and then analyze it like a dream and look at where you yourself might be making choices in hate. For example, you say, "The terrorists who did this have no consideration for human life." That may seem extreme to you, and yet, we believe if you search your life for the choices you make, you will find many places where your choices bespeak that same sentiment. Do you smoke? Do you drive fossil fuel automobiles and pollute the air? Do you empty motor oil into the ground? Do you have anger and hatred at your neighbors? All these instances add to the collective pile of manifestation of hate. All of these scenarios are contributing to the destruction of the planet. Why? Because you alone are an entire universe. You are the world you see around you. And you have been fooling yourself into thinking you are safe and "innocent" of the crimes you see outside yourself. And yet, we tell you, this is not so. Every ounce of hate you fill your body with contributes. Every bit of angry projected onto someone else helps to manifest this war. Indeed, this attack is the reflection of perhaps lifetimes of illusions and denial, built up and finally exploded over a terrified world. So, yes, you have the power to change this. We URGE you at this point, do not let your head tell you otherwise. Do not reason this away and refuse to change your perspective. Yes, you have free will to do this. This is your choice, this is your right as a human, learning to live in the free will system. And yes, it is true that, if you destroy the world at this junction, you will come back, rebuild and take another pass at it. And you will be karmically tied to this manifestation until you understand how to create heaven on Earth. Even if it takes eons, this will come to pass. So why not begin today? This is the day you have, it might be the only day there is. You have nothing to lose. We are here to help you process the truths that lie beneath the illusions, the truth of your own power of creation. The humility you gain from owning all the times you have held hate will be powerful. It is the very tool you will need to go further inside to dream peace in the world. We will continue to work through Barbara in the days ahead and provide guideposts and lesson. But we say emphatically THIS IS UP TO YOU. YOU have the power to dream world peace. Find the hidden cells of evil and hatred within yourself and rout them out, own them, feel them, forgive them, transform them into strength and courage and hope. Do not forget to watch in the days ahead, for the signs of miracle and magic. Don't be discouraged by what might take place, don't allow anything to stop you from knowing the truth. You have the power. Own it. Use it. Then simply watch and be amazed. TOP   September 19, 2001 The Matrix We command that only the most divine light shine down upon you at this time, and the greatest good be present here. These extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures. This is part of the purpose of this devastating series of events that are unfolding. Never before has your planet felt the collective compassion that it feels now, together, united. Even countries that once, and perhaps still are, filled with animosity are speaking out in compassion for the United States. We would like to give you step-by-step instructions on how to use this united compassion to actually change the infrastructure of the planet, to affect a miraculous outcome to this otherwise tenuous situation. We would like to take you into the Matrix of Creation. This Matrix is the framework, as it were, to your ability to perceive life. It is the operating system for the Human Intention. Within the depth of this system lies the keys to producing life. In fact, just the idea that so many of you wish to go into this consciousness at this time is in fact a miracle. It has been years, lifetimes, of preparation to get humans to consider the specifics of this reality. Like an operating system of your computer, how many of you ever actually go deep within that system? When your computer begins to act up, you can go so far, but then you usually call in an "expert" to delve into the depths and affect the necessary changes. We are here to teach you to become those programmers. Many of you are already on the road. You speak out in favor of love and compassion in times of apparent hate and destruction. In fact, as we stated, never before has the world seen such a unity of compassion. This is a positive step towards understanding the power that you as humans hold, but this step only takes you to one level of understanding the Matrix. There are two perspectives here to take a look at. There is the human perspective, where you can understand the suffering and pain, where you cry out and call for unity for the sake of the souls of the six billion people on your planet. This level, this perspective is absolutely essential to understand how much power you have. The very fact that you are choosing compassion over revenge and retaliation is a powerful, positive step towards affecting a permanent change in your world. The idea here is to transform your planet so that your children, and their children understand and implement this compassionate stance from the beginning of their lives. In order for your children to do this, you must model the compassion yourself. Talking about it won't effect a change. You must become that compassion in order to teach your children to make compassion their knee jerk reaction. But the second perspective is one that takes you deeper into the human heart. The heart is more than an organ of emotion. Yes, it's the emotion that is necessary for daily life, to connect to the present. But within that emotion is another power. And that is the power of creation. When we say emotion holds the power of creation, we mean it is the desire to come to life that bring you to Earth in the first place. It is desire that drives any creation in your life. You know full well, if you do not desire it, you will not stand up and make a choice to create it. But creation cannot take place without desire. The events of this time period were born from a deep desire of cleansing and healing in order to rid yourself of the pretense, and force yourselves to look deeper into the truth of who you are. This is not to be judged, but instead to be studied and transformed. Within the depth of this Matrix, desire flows like lava. If you are not tapped into your deepest desires, without judgment, you are merely working on the desktop of your computer. Now is the time to jump into this lava flow of desire and understand why you so wished to come to life in the first place. The framework of humanity is based on projection. The light of the Source shines. Somewhere in the mystery of creation comes the Human Intention. When the light hits the intention, it serves to project into the three dimensions a reality that is the inner most parts of your being. Your human mind is programmed to perceive this projection as something outside yourself. Now is the time to find your way inward, to that human intention, and examine thoroughly the condition of this Intention. To this end, it is important to remember in your journey inward that there is only One here. Every feeling, of every human, every thought, every action, all life is sourced in One Power, One Source. You have intimate access to this Source. What you perceive may only indeed be one small segment of the Collective Human Intention. But if you are perceiving it, then you are creating it as well. As you journey deep into this Matrix, remember several things. One, you are the only one here. If there is war outside you, it is sourced from within you. It cannot be taking place within your realm of perception without you being the Creator of it. This is true of everything. So when you human intellect argues with itself to say, "No I am not creating war, I do not want this war," go back to the groundrule: If you are perceiving it, it is your creation. We realize this is a stretch for your thinking, but, at this juncture, what do you have to lose to explore the possibility that it might be your own creation? If it was your creation, would you not want to know, so you could uncreate it? Another thing to remember is the reflection of the inner conflict within will always show up outside of self. So these huge conflict raging outside yourself, with it's horrifying destruction, is a mirror of the condition of your own Human Intention. To this end, knowing the truth of your power, it is time to journey inward. Much like a computer graphic depicting a geometric shell of human structure, on the inner levels of the Matrix there are grids that supply your perception with the model of human forms. Even these models can change, but that is not our mission here. Our mission is to take you on a journey inward to this Matrix and show you how to change the external world from this place within. Gravity is also something that originates within. As opposed to the solo idea that gravity is what keeps you on the planet, gravity is actually a force that brings your power identity. It's as if you are a planet and the gravity emanates from within, keeping your skin tied to your muscle to your bones, etc. Keeping you centered, keeping your perception focused on your reality. This inner gravity is also what keeps you in touch with your identity when you are dreaming. So the idea here is to go deeply into your own Matrix, past the forms, past the projector, and into the gravity, into the space between all the molecules you are perceiving. This puts you in a starry, peaceful heaven, and it also brings you to the location of the ultimate controls. From this place, it is not the molecules you manipulate to bring peace, it is the space between the molecules. From this place, you use your inner gravity to move mountains. And in this starry heaven, there is no other gravity but your inner gravity. So you can flow freely through the atmosphere, with the intention to move the molecules, also floating freely, that make up the grid of physical form into whatever shape you prefer. It is our belief that you prefer peace. To this end, you must find all conflict in the system on this infrastructure level to affect such a change in the physical. The roadmaps indicates that, as Creator of the world, whatever is outside you is merely a reflection within you. With brutal honesty and passionate non-judgment, you must identify that places of self-destruction and hatred within. As you scour this inner world, look for these things in the mirror. You will be guided by your emotions. Look at all the situations in your world that cause you deep emotions, and allow the details of what you perceive outside yourself to guide you back to your own life. Is your neighbor mean and angry? Does that make you angry too? Identify what you see outside yourself and then with chilling fortitude, scour your own life for those place where you are creating the very anger and hatred you hate to see outside yourself. It is a good start to meditate and fill yourself with love and prayer. But that is only a certain layer. It is a powerful layer that will assist in the transformation, but if you really want to take control as Creator, you must identity the actions you yourself have taken to create, and associate, intellectually, the emotions around your own creations in order to relive those emotions as your own. The reason we insist on this level of accuracy is because it is what will assure a lasting change. You are programmed to lie to yourself. This scouring and personal identification and transformation will be the most powerful you can implement. We call it recapitulation. It's as if your consciousness is going through the catalogue of creation housed in the infrastructure and reliving those decisions, intellectually and emotionally. It's as if you are going back and making new choices in old situation. For the choices you made during the unconscious, un-unified decision making that you are holding others responsible for is what is contributing to the violence around you. Each time you made a decision to hurt, or project anger and hatred, and then used your intellect to rationalize the creation as "good" or "right," you add to the war. This process of recapitulation serves to take you back, from the perspective of the place between the molecules and allows you to relive the experience so you can feel the full impact, in the moment of reliving the power of your own creation. So therefore, if you once lashed out in hatred at someone without allowing yourself to feel the full compassion of what you were doing in the moment, and then justified your actions because you thought you are "right," you compressed the truth and hid it from yourself. You projected your own self-hatred onto others without realizing the exact power of what you were doing. These actions have all contributed to the war. To go back and feel compassion for what you have done, take ownership of that action and acknowledge the power of your own creation, you bring to your infrastructure a new program. You effectively change the inner working of the human intention. This is the most powerful route to this kind of change. Whatever level you choose to do it on at this time will help, but the further within you go and the more responsibility you take as Creator will expediential change the outer manifestations. So look deep within. Each time you see something outside yourself that angers or saddens or scares you, immediately look within, scour your own life with brutal honesty and compassion for the actually events that you yourself perpetrated, own them, feel the emotion about the truth of your own actions, and apply compassionate non-judgment. In this way, you will create that compassion within, that will then be projected out, which will then forever change your world. TOP
