Ten Ponts To Ponder

One) Eat light and eat live foods. This frees your physical energies from the shackles of digestion and allows a freer flow of energy throughout your physical system.

Two) Spend time daily in silence and meditation. Even if you are not a longtime meditator, you can now access greatly enhanced states by entering deep states of relaxation and stilling your mind.

Three) Open up a direct dialogue with your higher self. Daily journaling is an excellent way to open up this dialogue. Write out your questions on one side of the page, then turn over your pen to your higher self. Allow answers to flow onto the page. You can also use a tape recorder for this process.

Four) Be playful. Be creative. One of the most important things you can do during your day is to make time for creative play. Your imagination is your doorway into cosmic time. All images, visions, ideas and inspirations flow through this corridor.

Five) Pay attention to the symbols of your dreams and waking life. Make note of the images that flow into your mind. These images are offering you glimpses of new possibilities now crystallizing in your energy field.

Six) Affirm daily that you are an infinite being. As an infinite being, your birthright is the unlimited magic and abundance of the universe. Open to allow abundance and synchronicities to flow into your life in magical and unexpected ways.

Seven) Release any attachments you may have to your present identity, to others, or to ways of being. Attachments and expectations bind you to old habits and patterns and keep you from experiencing new and expanded ways of being.

Eight) View all images/experiences/visions/desires through the lens of your spiritual purpose. Affirm that whatever benefits you receive you extend to all others through your spiritual purpose.

Nine) Allow greater and greater amounts of joy into your life. Make a list of what brings you joy and constantly look for ways to expand this list.

Ten) Accept and embrace whatever unfolds in your life. When you accept what comes before you, you open to its message and wisdom. By contrast, whenever you resist something, you close yourself to its message. This dooms you to repeat the experience.

Live Joyfully, Die Joyfully

"Yes, you do choose how long you will live. And yes, you do choose when you will die, either deliberately or by default. You can even choose how you will die.

"Does all that sound like far-out fantasy to you? Probably, at least to some of you.

"But it is absolutely true!

"Friends, the more joyful you are, the more you will flourish. It's that simple. When you're in a state of joy, a state of feeling good, life just flows perfectly. Everything falls into place for you. All you have asked the universe for comes to you.

"But more to the real point of this conversation today -- your physical bodies thrive when you are fully aligned with your higher selves. And when you are feeling good mostly, it's impossible for your bodies to fall ill. Or if they do fall ill and you restore yourselves to that place of feeling good, so too will your bodies restore themselves to that natural state of perfect health, balance, and alignment.

"It is just that simple. Joy -- feeling good -- is the key, the "secret" to living the life of your dreams.

"As long as you are joyful, immersing yourselves in the pleasures and passions of physical life, the longer you will live.

"Do you choose how long you will live? Yes! As long as you choose to be joyful, you will live. Even well beyond what your society considers a "normal" life span.

"When you begin to lose that sense of joy, you begin to die.

"When you finally lose it, you die.

"You will die in whatever way "works" for you -- illness, accident, by your own hand, and so on.

"Does it have to be that way. No!

"You can live in a state of joy and then one day decide you've done it all, had enough of physical life, and simply move on.

"You can die in a state of perfect health. Your bodies don't need to deteriorate as you move through the years. You don't need to invent an excuse to die -- accident, illness, or whatever.

"You can simply put your bodies in bed, in a state of joy, and go to sleep intending to wake up on the other side.

"Dying can be that easy. It's the easiest thing you will ever do.

"Live joyfully. Die joyfully."

An Outsider's View Of Global Warming

The following paraphrased excerpt concerning global warming comes from the L/L Research website:
---

Question:

Could you discuss the phenomenon that we call down here “global warming,” from the perspective of the spiritual evolution of mankind?

Answer:

When entities become ill it is often the end result of imbalances and distortions within the energy body that have been ignored or not recognized.

The same is true of the living body of your planet. The situation is not particularly simple, for your planet is populated by several planetary populations from elsewhere in which there was a toxic disregard for their home planets and a set of actions which, in total, created of their planets an uninhabitable environment for third-density work. Consequently, you have coming into the earth plane of your planet a great many entities who have been unable to grasp the need for inner peace and harmony with others. And you have instead solved perceived problems by invoking the energies of aggression and the destruction of other selves.

We speak not only of the obvious physical destruction of other-selves which exist in war, but the less obvious but nevertheless deadly energies which would pit entity against entity, power against power, judgment against judgment. There is, in the concept of karma, embedded the concept of continuation, or the inevitable onward movement, of a thing which is inertia. That which is tends to continue on being that which is.

The energies that created destruction elsewhere remain, retained within the deepest parts of the roots of consciousness. And that solution which is aggressive and destructive seems once again to be a valid choice, even a necessary choice. Once again, it takes an answering energy to stop the energy of that karma and among your peoples that energy has often not been seen as a good thing.

Again and again, those answering energies of cooperation, harmonization and communication have begun to gain strength among your peoples only to be ground down under the heel of that thirst for empire that fuels nation-states’ aggression against other nation-states and entities’ aggression against other entities.

All this heat of aggression and destruction has been pushed down into the earth upon which your feet stand. And the earth has begun to express it, just as this instrument’s body was recently covered with a rash as her body attempted to throw off the toxin of a substance to which she was allergic.

While there are certainly rational, scientific explanations for various aspects of global warming, spiritually speaking, the interesting and telling portion of this phenomenon is held within the energies of your people. Therefore, every attempt that is made by persons or groups of people to send love into the earth energy, to send peace into the earth energy and so forth, is an effort well made, and an efficacious one as well.

Just as the energies of heat have moved down into the planetary entity that is your Earth, also the energies of cooperation, love, unity, understanding and communication can aid greatly. We would also note in this wise that many of those who have achieved graduation from your third density at this time, within the last thirty of your years, have begun to return as those who have seen this pattern clearly and whose hearts have gone out to the planet itself. Many of those whom you call the “indigo children” are those who are focused perhaps more upon healing the Earth than upon bringing the population as a whole to graduation.

It is not that they feel that the Earth must be cleaned up before they can go on. It is that they see this karmic residue and wish to fulfill that karma with the balancing energies of love and affection for the planet that remove the self forever from the wheel of that particular karma.

Your Greatest Gift To Humanity

"We do not believe you should take on the pain of others, but we do believe you should show compassion and caring toward those in pain, as John did.

"Compassion is one thing. Sympathy is quite another, a very different vibration. If you're sympathizing you're taking on other people's pain.

"You cannot take on other people's pain and be of any good to them, or to yourselves. Nowhere is it written you have to feel bad because someone else is, no matter how close you are to them or how much you love them.

"The best thing you can do to help someone in pain is to be happy.

"Then envision them also being happy. They will eventually move through and beyond their pain or sadness. You have the power to help them speed up that process. But not by feeling their pain or by sympathizing with them. That only amplifies the negative feelings and energies.
Be happy. See them happy. That is absolutely the best thing you can do to help anyone. Your happiness is your greatest gift to humanity."

Changing the ME into WE

"The easiest way for you to change your perception is to move out of what is happening to you and put yourself in service. How about volunteering at a hospital or a hospice? How about doing anything to get you out of your stuck mode? Being in service helps transform me into we, and that dissolves the separation that makes everyone feel stuck. It simply is not possible for you to feel stuck when you are connected with other humans. Place yourself in a position of service and you change everything at that moment. It changes your perception, and gives you purpose and focus. At this point, you want to bring in your passion. You want to find that one gift that you can give better than anybody else, because each one of you has it. Every one of you came with a gift from Home that is not possible for anyone else to carry. It is your soul’s mission to share that, and the moment you change the me into we you start to understand, you feel of use and your power returns. What magic! Now you have possibilities..."

A Pioneer Of The Family

"Now, the Spirit World is often asked what the Divine Awakening will be like and what will change...

"You must know that a planetary ascension is planned for Mother Earth.... And so it will happen that some of you Pioneers will reach Divine Awakening.

"Because Mother Earth will need a little longer in the time frame for the planetary Ascension to take place, you will be in an awakened state among still sleeping human beings. Your linear time also needs to be taken into account. When you are awakened, fully and completely accept that you are Divine, when all coding has been undone, you have been given the key and the door is open and you are ready to take this step into Divinity, then everything in you will change.

"But it will not happen in the way you may suspect, from one minute to the next. It will take place a little more every day, in your power of Divinity. When you are divinely awakened and people who are still sleeping will meet you, with your Divine power you will react with Love to everything you meet. For you will no longer be able to do other than react with Love as you will have understood that only Love exists.

"Situations in which you find yourself will change. You will understand that only you yourself create each situation at every moment of your life. As you will be in your Divine Might you will create situations for yourself which are full of abundance, human love and joy of life. You will no longer feel situations of doubt and fear. You will go into resonance with All-That-Is in the absolute Divine Power and Divine Might. You will no longer limit yourself. You will understand that these limits no longer have meaning. Therefore you will stop judging. You will recognize that every human being, no matter how deeply asleep, is Divine inside. Great compassion and Love will come over you. In you there will no longer be feelings of rage or aggression. These will no longer touch you. You will be an awakened person, a Pioneer of the Family who has been called."

Can I Buy A Vow?

"Humans, in our view, are often obsessed with vows. Whether we're talking about priestly vows, marriage vows, patriotic vows, etc., it doesn't matter.

"Vows are, as John said, unrealistic, especially if you live a life many years long. You change and grow through those years -- as you should, as your higher selves intended when you incarnated.

"That is a good thing. After all, you cannot not grow. You can choose how to grow -- through joyful experiences or painful experiences. But you cannot stand still.

"So to impose upon yourselves or others vows (of whatever -- celibacy, fidelity, obedience, poverty, patriotism, etc.) is simply not a good idea.

"Instead we would propose setting realistic expectations for yourselves, acknowledging you will grow and change continuously throughout your lives.

"When you get married or become a priest or anything else, you certainly have great intentions to make it the very best experience you can. We applaud that.

"But do you expect also you will never change? If you do, that is not only unrealistic and shortsighted, but it simply does not fit with how your human lives always "play out," if you will.

"Friends, we've often said "Live in the moment." That's all you have. Your human minds do not know where you will be ten years from now, or fifty, or more. All your power is now. And only now.

"So to impose vows and promises on yourselves is to deny you will change and grow. You can deny it, but you cannot avoid it.

"Live fully in every present moment. Do not tarnish your joy with unrealistic expectations. Vows and other long-term contracts, if you will, are simply not part of who you really are.

"Who you really are is God. God needs no restrictions, goals, or anything else that limit your growth.

"You are God. You are Joy. Live in the full awareness of that every moment of the rest of your lives."

My, How Magnetic You Are!

"We are going to let you know right now that you are Creators. How do we know? Because you are creating everything in your life, whether you realize it or not. It is not being created by us. It is not being created from outside of you. You are creating it. Well, perhaps you say, “But, Tobias, I certainly am not creating all of these bad things.” Ah, again we ask you to take a look. You ARE creating it, perhaps not consciously in your human mind, but based on your needs, based on your energy, you are.

"You are like a magnet, but a magnet that works different than your physical magnets on Earth, for the opposites attract in your magnets on Earth. But, with the type of magnet that you are the likenesses attract. If you feel disempowered, disempowered things will come to respond to you. You will be surrounded by disempowered people, or people who use their power to take yours away. You are asking for it. Like responds to like.

"If there is a lack of abundance in your life, it is because you are feeling that you are not worthy. You are energizing yourself, or spiritually magnetizing yourself, and you bring it into your life. Everything around you and everything in your life is a direct literal response to who you are. It is not being inflicted on you. You are bringing it in. You are manifesting it. That is how strong and powerful a Creator that you are.

"If you don’t like something, if you don’t like things in your life, or any of your life, you can change it. How do you do that? First you acknowledge that you are ready for a change, and you are willing to go through what it takes, which all of you have. Then, Shaumbra, you begin to change how you are feeling on the inside. You begin taking a look at how you are creating these things. Are you playing the role of the victim? If you are, you will always have victim experiences happen to you. Are you playing the role of the disempowered? Then you will always have things that come into your life that take your power away.

"It is time for your freedom from those things. It is time for you to understand that you are no longer bound by them. You can change them. You could also give us all of the reasons on Earth and in the heavens why it can't be done. And, then we have to support you in that. We have to continue helping you feel disempowered, continue helping you feel like the victim, continue helping you have no abundance. That’s the one we don’t like at all because that is what you are choosing. That is what you are drawing to you."

Out Of Chaos Comes New Creation

"It is as if your lifeline is being tugged and pulled in different directions as Spirit tries to get your attention. You can resist and hold back, kicking and screaming; however, you will eventually move forward on the spiral of ascension. There can be no denying that the evolutionary cycle which is now in full swing is creating chaos and is swiftly breaking down the old belief systems and structures. Remember what we have often said, ‘out of chaos comes new creation.’ The Soul-self is nudging and prodding everyone, to one degree or another, in an effort to get each soul’s attention. No one can maintain the status-quo, coasting and drifting and ignoring the call to awaken. You must either grow and ascend in consciousness, or sink deeper into chaos, fear and limitation which only postpones the inevitable. It is your Divine birthright to live in abundance and prosperity; you have just forgotten. Abundance comes in many forms, so seek an abundance of love, joy, good health and vitality, as well as all the things you require to live a full and comfortable life. As you begin to create miracle after miracle, those around you will want to know what you are doing. That is when you are to share the techniques, beliefs and wisdom you have claimed as your own. That is when you will become a true self-master; first you will teach by example and through your actions, and finally through words. You, the StarSeeds, will set the new standards of behavior and others will want to emulate you and adopt your new philosophy of life; therefore, it is of vast importance that you focus on what is right in your world and look for the best in those around you, for that is what you will reinforce. You can change the world around you, one thought at a time."

The Delightful Dance Of Life

The following excerpt is from a session with Q'uo on April 19th, 2009:
---

"There is nothing necessarily sober or serious or ponderous about spiritual seeking. You may walk the King’s Highway with a merry heart and a song upon your lips. When you are having fun, as shallow as that concept may sound, you are flowing with the dance of life in which every flower and tree, every lion and bear, every turtle, every speck of the ocean, every mote of dust, is involved. The dance of life includes you, not as awkward stumblers, no matter what you may think, but as wonderful, coordinated dancers. Let the rhythm of your days delight you. And see every task and every chore that you perform as a kind of dance. Each sacred concern, no matter how shallow it may seem, has its rhythm, its tempo and its steps.

"As you allow your vision to be one which gives life to everything you see, you shall allow yourself more and more to dance with the water with which you do the dishes or clean the toilet or cleanse a baby. You shall see every plate as that surface which smiles at you when you have washed it and says, “Thank you! I love to be clean.” Share the delight of that dish and give it a smile.

"Let everything within your ken become real to you as one with whom you dance, knowing that there is nothing too humble to be sacred, nothing too high to bow before. For you are a dancer, and so is the highest and so is the lowest of all that you know, of all that you see, all with whom you dance. "

Don't Feed The Beast

The following is an excerpt from a session with Aaron on April 6th, 2009.
---

"The primary inclination many of you have is, when negative energy arises in you, you condemn yourself for it. “No, there shouldn’t be anger.” How often have you heard yourself say, “I shouldn’t be angry.” Does that come up for you?

"If you were walking barefoot on the carpet here and you stepped on a tack, there would be pain in the foot and a drop of blood. Would you say it shouldn’t hurt? That’s how the body is. Would you say there shouldn’t be blood? That’s the way the body is. But when you stub your emotional toe so to speak, you say it shouldn’t hurt. “I shouldn’t feel angry. I shouldn’t feel jealous. I shouldn’t feel impatient.” And because of your strong aspiration to purify yourselves, you try to scour off that negativity. You grab scouring pads and you scrub and it just makes you bleed.

"We can’t see the windows here but imagine if the window became covered with mud, maybe a heavy rainstorm. So the window is filthy, covered with mud. Would we have to get hammers and tear out the window? No, we wash it off. The nature of the glass is clear. And if it gets covered with mud, there’s no denial that it’s dirty. But the nature of it is clarity.

"So for most of you, and yes, here I’m speaking of part of your intention for the incarnation, is to come to know that clear nature, that innate purity, without any denial of the negativity, without fear of the negativity, and without hatred of the negativity. You come with the intention not to enact that negativity in the world and to keep bringing yourself back to a centered, loving space. You know, as we discussed earlier, that which is aware of anger is not angry. You come to learn to hold space for and to take care of the anger, and to be sure it is not carried out into the world. Anger, greed, fear, jealousy, impatience, doubt, confusion—to find that centered place and rest there, and learn how to live from that space.

"When you stop giving energy to the negativity, you stop feeding it. The more you say, “I won’t be angry,” the more you feed anger. But when you relax and just say, “Ah, so. This anger arose out of conditions. I will hold space for it and take care of it until it dissolves,” then you’re practicing loving kindness. Then you’re practicing the innate clarity."

Coming Into Higher Consciousness

The following excerpt is from a session with Aaron on March 25th, 2009:
---

"Within the self often there are heavy emotions, anger, fear, greed, impatience, and so forth. It’s important not to act out these emotions, and many of you strive to do that, and yet you do not give equal time to the beautiful emotions that are present in you.

"If the windows on the front of the room here were very dirty, would I break them out and install new windows? Of course not. I’d wash them. Their nature is clear and radiant and perfect. So often you relate to yourselves as if there was something broken about the self that needed to be fixed.

"Many of you, especially those who are on a conscious spiritual path, strongly yearn toward what we might call purification of these heavy emotions. But my dear ones, there’s nothing broken, there’s nothing bad. You are human; of course emotions will arise. The problem is not the emotions, the problem is the whole idea, “No, this should not be here, I must fix it,” almost breaking out the window because it’s dirty. Can you see in yourselves the way you sometimes attack the self when anger arises, or fear or greed, instead of simply stopping and noting, “Here is anger. Here is fear. That which is aware of anger is not angry.” You all have the capacity to touch that deep awareness, to rest in that deep awareness and learn to relate to the world with it. This is the coming into higher consciousness.

"The earth is going through enormous changes right now and you will want to change with it or literally be left behind. Just as there is not much place in your world now for the person who threw his trash out of the car window—everybody turns around and says, “What are you doing?” Because people have evolved into a more conscious sense of responsibility toward the earth––in the same way, those of you who threw your inner trash at other people or at yourselves are now in a position where you need to look at these habits and ask yourself, “Where is kindness here? How can I more clearly see and live my interconnection of all beings? How can I live with more love, more kindness, with more awareness?”

"You live with a sense of limitation, many of you. You have sets of beliefs, “This is how the world is,” and as long as you hold to that belief and don’t consider the possibility of something beyond it, you simply keep recreating the world as you know it. If you want a world that’s peaceful, yes, you do have to acknowledge that there are people on the earth who are very angry and afraid, and who would do harm. We’re not talking about hiding the head in the sand, there is a reality. There are angry people who would do harm. But if you then walk around constantly with weapons and shields, locking everybody out, the heart never has a chance really to connect.

"How do we connect to another? How do we open our hearts to others? It takes trust, and sometimes that trust is violated, so one closes up again and says, “See, I knew it wouldn't work.” You do not want to extend trust to someone who you know not to be trustworthy, but don’t let that stop you from extending trust to those who might prove to be trustworthy. If you never open your heart, you’ll never connect with others. You’ll never learn truly to love and to see the world through this united vision of all beings.

"The world you are coming into is changing so quickly; the world you are coming into is going to ask a lot of you. It’s going to ask you to step beyond your prior sense of limits, your belief in who you are and what you think you can do. It’s going to ask you to look at old beliefs and leave them aside."

Now, Why Didn't I See That Before?

I had a very interesting insight this morning:

We deliberately put ourselves in challenging situations in which the ONLY way we will find the solution is to love ourselves.

I arrived at this conclusion by pondering the fact that our negative emotions are a communication letting us know that we are not loving ourselves, that we are out of alignment with our essence. Now, our essence knows and sees all, and there is no problem or challenge for our essence. Our essence loves itself unconditionally. So if we could align with our essence, we could very easily see the solution, solve the problem, and return to a state of joy.

And how does one align with essence?

By loving yourself.

Therefore, loving yourself is often the ONLY way to solve a problem, to overcome a challenge.

What a perfect way to nudge us toward loving ourselves - by making it the only possible way forward...

Michael, on Growth And Time

Here are some timely and perhaps helpful thoughts shared recently by Michael:
---

"I greet you, my dear friends on earth! As I come to you on this day I can see that many are in a state of confusion, in a state of feeling lost in life, without goals, and filled with worries. But my dearest friends, if you have listened to any of what we have said before, you will realize that this is the result of the process of transformation, and that this is nothing to worry about. You have all been prepared for this phase, and although it may seem to some that the tasks at hand are insurmountable, feeling incapable of continuing with this lifetime, nobody is being asked to give more than he or she is able to. You all accepted your tasks as they are, you even chose them, and were asked if you truly want to accept them, and you did. You do not remember this now, but your soul knows. And now is not the time to give up. Yes, it seems to some that a day should be twice as long to be able to fulfill all given tasks, to not only deal with jobs, family, household chores, shopping needs, finances, but also do lightwork, meditation, yoga and heal oneself. However, dearest friends, it is mostly a matter of prioritizing, organizing, and commitment, that keeps you from fulfilling these tasks. If you look closely, you will find many minutes wasted during your day, that could have been used to make time for your spiritual well-being, your spiritual growth and self-healing. Even more so, if you were to commit yourself to allow some time every day for your spiritual growth, you could find yourself with more strength, with more power, more energy, more joy - and possibly even with more time, although this might not sound logical to you. However, as you have more energy, you will be able to manage your life more easily, and as such, you save more time - and might save so much time, that even though you do more, you have more time left. Realize that you are a being of light, you are soul, you are spirit. For spirit, time is irrelevant. For human beings, it seems to exist, in an illusive way. But as you are spirit, you can work with this illusion, and begin to use it to your advantage. The more you commit yourself to lightwork, meditation, and other techniques and means for spiritual growth, you will find that time becomes more flexible, allowing you to do all that what you really want to do - for your own spiritual growth and inner healing. While this might still sound fantastic to many, if you commit yourself to spiritual growth you will find that this is true. Primarily, it is time to realize that this is a very important time, a very intensive time, with many challenges - but that all these challenges are surmountable; also, that due to this special time, you can make things easier for yourself by focusing on your spiritual growth - which in the end will not cost you time, but give you all the time you really need. While this might sound to some difficult to accept - enjoy the time here in this lifetime, as this gives you a very unique chance to accomplish so many tasks, which normally take more than one lifetime - yet you can pass through this time, you are given all the help you need, a lot of energy is coming to you - so, dearest friends, make use of this opportunity, and make time for your own spiritual growth! Amen."

Easter - Time To Rise And Shine

A few words from Jeshua:

"Beloved one, you have known Easter to be a day to celebrate the resurrection of my body from the condition of seeming death, but I say unto you that it celebrates not only my resurrection, but yours as well. It can be your day of resurrection as you allow the limiting thoughts of the world, the limiting image that you would have of yourself, to be crucified, dead and buried, and you allow the holy Child that you are to be resurrected in Its fullness, to come into a dynamic quality of living.

"You are a great ray of Light activating the form known as the body. When you choose resurrection, when you choose to come totally alive, you allow the very Spirit that you are to come up out of the tomb of the heaviness of the thoughts of the world, to activate even the cells of the body in Light, and to share with others the Light that you are and that they are."

---

"The day known as Easter, the day of resurrection, is your day. Long enough have you languished in the tomb. Long enough have you listened to the voice of the world that would speak unto you of limitation, of loss, of sorrow. I come today to share with you, if you will receive it, that there is no loss. There is no death. Form may change, but there is only forever Life, and you are It.

"Easter is your day of resurrection, for on Easter, and truly every day, Christ, the Lord, is risen. And who is Christ? You, as the Light that you are. Celebrate my resurrection. Celebrate your resurrection. Be of Light heart, for the tomb of the world can hold you no longer."

The Relative Truth

In my novel, The Day Harry Sued God (posted on this page - on the left side - as well as on its own website: http://www.harrysuedgod.blogspot.com/), the main character (Harry) writes a book called The Relative Truth.

According to Harry, all spiritual truth is relative, at least at this stage of our development. What is true for each of us is relative to our current perspective and understanding. As we grow and widen our awareness, our "truth" grows and expands accordingly. Thus, it does no good to argue about "the truth". What is true for us will depend upon our current level of awareness/consciousness.

I recently came across the following passage, in which Michael discusses how you must find and cultivate your truth, as distinguished from the truths of others:
---

"So many seekers on spiritual paths look outward, look for guidance, for teachers, for gurus, priests or shamans or similar human beings. Those human beings however can only provide you with their truth, and often fail to guide you to your truth. You may wonder, what could be the difference, you may think there can only be one truth. In the core essence of all, there is only one truth, divine truth. But while incarnated, you will find out that what you consider to be truth, changes with time, or rather, it changes with your development. The more you advance on your spiritual path, the more you discover, allowing you to see other angles to what you previously thought to be the whole picture, thus giving you a different truth. But even the highest developed gurus will only be able to give you their truth. While some of them may truly be far developed and be able to give you a truth that is getting close to the divine truth, it still is a filtered truth, and their truth. But all that matters, is your very own truth, because what you perceive of truth is what reflects your image, your picture, of the world you live in. While the truth your mind provides may be less than ideal, it is what matters to you now, and even when you hear someone else’s truths, you will only accept it as your truth if it matches your truth - whether it is the truth your mind already established as such, or it harmonizes with your inner truth. While the mind’s truth may only be an illusion, it is part of you, and part of your process to reach your goal of enlightenment, or at least the intermediate goal of spiritual growth. It is good to become aware of what truth is, as only on such a level of awareness where you can see the truth about truth, can you reach the levels of awareness that allow you access to your core inner truth - divine truth. You get closer to this inner core truth when you get in contact with your higher self, whether this may be through meditation or another “moment for the soul”, which can be as simple as standing by the ocean, a lake, a forest - or just a tree - and simply observing nature, relaxing your mind, letting your soul fly. These moments - or by more disciplined moments such as meditation - guide you little by little, step by step, to your inner truth. This is a vital process for your spiritual development, and do not fear this - it only brings you greater clarity and more peace about things in life, about the way life is on this planet. There is a reason for everything to be the way it is; while you may not know the reason, simply allow the inner core truth to speak to you."

Joy In The Midst Of Uncertainty

"We would ask you to define what security means to you. It is probably any number of different things, including some of those John mentioned.

"What is going to happen if you place your faith, your trust in those things -- dollars, religion, government, other people, etc.?

"Once you've reached some sense of security in whatever way you can, you still don't, and never will, know with absolute certainty what lies ahead of you. Isn't that what lies at the heart of your yearning for security -- wanting to know what the future holds for you?

"You all live with uncertainty, no matter how much false security you think you have. That perhaps is the real key here today. Can you still live a joyful life in the midst of uncertainty?

"There are no guarantees, friends. As long as you live in these physical bodies, you will never know what the future holds.

"Even we in these dimensions of spirit do not know your or our future -- because we are all growing, changing, evolving into greater and grander expressions of divinity, of God.

"None of the illusions of security can give you real security. Your real security lies within you. You are all powerful beings, free to create whatever you wish.

"Why not create a life of joy, even if you know not what the future holds? Even in the midst of global recessions? Why not live fully in each present moment, loving your life and everyone, everything in it?

"You can live joyously even in the midst of uncertainty. You are your security. Finding joy in your life is the only guarantee of security. It's all you need. Then you will find security amidst the uncertainty because then you will know you, as an extension of God, can create the life of your dreams.

"You don't need to know what lies ahead. You only need to know you are the creator."

Sad Songs Say So Much

"Humans in general on this planet try to avoid sadness, difficulties, and dark energies. However, we tell you that most music on this planet has been inspired by these dark energies. Most of the beauty that you truly find comes from the shadows hitting light in a certain way. Finding the beauty in the darkness will be a key role as empowered beings and Lightworkers. Finding those opportunities for light is now at hand for all humans. You have placed yourself in key positions all over the world to be there at the right time with the right energy. You have made it. You are here! The time is right and now we ask you to look at the darkness for all the beauty that it holds. Look at those restrictions, those negativities, the horrible things that are coming on your news. See them as opportunities for light, because these are the things that will catalyze your next incarnation here in this physical body. You are being re-born even now. That is what the re-wire process is about on many levels.

"Keep in mind as you do this that you are not the physical body at all. Many of you push away those physical parts and deny those pieces of yourself in order to be spirits. We tell you, however, that in fact you have no problem being spirits. It is being human that is the problem. You are here as spirits to have a human experience and that includes light and dark, failure and success. Those are only labels placed upon your journey as you go forward, but they mean nothing when you get Home. The parts you will re-member are how you found beauty in the darkness -- how you found your part of your world to share. That is the piece you came to do and we tell you now is the time."

It's Who You Are

"The answer is simple: Seek only joy in your life.

"I realize that sounds like an impossible task to many on the earth plane. But it is not impossible. It may be difficult at first, especially if you've been habitually focusing on what does not bring you joy.

"But you can move into a state where most, and even all, of your present moments are filled with joy. And you can achieve that in this lifetime.

"But you cannot do it if you insist on focusing only on what most of your world focuses on. It behooves you to pay attention to what you're paying attention to. If you read your daily newspapers, for example, you're paying attention to what most of the world is focusing on. And just how does that make you feel? Certainly not joyful.

"You have to move out of the mainstream to be joyful. You have to be willing to do whatever it takes to feel good. You have to be relentless in your insistence that you will choose only experiences that feel good. Whether we're talking about relationships, jobs, places to live - it doesn't matter.

"What does matter is that you choose only experiences that feel good. That you make a deliberate, conscious choice to experience only joy in your life.

"The more you focus on joy, the more joy the Universe will deliver to you. The more you focus on what's less than joyful to you, the more the Universe will deliver that to you.

"The more joy you experience it this physical lifetime, the more you remember who you really are.

"Joy is not only the key to remembering who you are. Joy IS who you are."

The Paradox Of Being Human

"Now. There are a couple of paradoxes that apply to the information that we’ve attempted to express to you on this afternoon. And the first is that you enter into this vibrational level by choice. And when you enter into this vibrational level by choice you agree to participate in what we refer to as the human consciousness concept and belief system and that you will limit your capacity in all levels of your consciousness to understand absolutely who and what you truly are, to understand that you are in control of this creation and of this reality that you experience in this vibrational level.

"Even in your so-called between incarnational periods, what you refer to as dying, you don’t really die, you simply alter your consciousness one step beyond what you might refer to as a deep dream state. And in that level of consciousness there still exists this so-called veil, this electromagnetic type of energy that limits your capacity to understand who and what you truly are. However, as you deepen—if you wish to use that terminology, you may reverse it and say as you heighten your level of awareness and consciousness—it’s in that veil.

"And so, in your between incarnational states indeed the veil is much thinner than it is when you are in your awake and consciousness state, however it still exists. And you have agreed to participate in sustaining, maintaining, that electromagnetic type of energy. And the paradox is that in your awake consciousness state you exert so much effort to understand who and what you truly are, to understand that which you have agreed to not understand, that which you have agreed to make inaccessible to all levels of consciousness in this vibrational level. And you do that for a very simple reason. And the reason is that when you’re existing in this vibrational level in your awake and consciousness state, if you don’t understand that you are the creator of your reality then the reality appears to be so much more real and beyond your capacity to control. Your choice, to be involved. Absolutely. And yet you choose as well to not understand the full extent of your involvement.

"You choose to limit your capacity to consciously be involved in the creation of this reality. You choose. Not some other entity, absolutely not. You choose to put in place and to sustain that electromagnetic type of energy to be involved in this creation process. With what you might call a cooperation of all the other entities, a consensus to perpetuate the veil and to exist in your vibrational level. You choose that which you desire to sustain and which, in your human consciousness, you attempt to break through, to understand. A paradox, absolutely."

---

"So, many times the reasons why you are here are so simple as to be beyond your ability to accept and to believe in your awake and consciousness state. You are here by choice. You are here to experience an intense range of emotions and feelings that cannot be experienced in any other vibrational level throughout all of creation. This vibrational level that you choose, not only to exist in but to create and perpetuate, is a vibrational level in which you exist within the limitations of a veil, the limitations of an electromagnetic type of energy that limits your capacity to understand who and what you truly are. And you do so, so that the reality can seem beyond your capacity to control. And as a result of being beyond your capacity to control, you enhance the intense emotions and feelings. It’s really that simple."

That Spark Of Consciousness That You Are

"You see, the reality that you experience is a reflection of the belief that you hold. When you believe that you have this universe that exists out there and you can put something out into your so-called universe and it will create what you desire and come back to you from the universe, then it’s an illusion, and doesn’t really exist. It comes from that spark of consciousness that you are. It comes from withinside. It’s who and what you truly are. And then you begin to hold concepts that there are universes outside of your universe, you can have that, absolutely. And when you begin to hold those concepts that those universes have unlimited power you can have that as well. Absolutely. But understand, that it’s only there because you believe it’s there. It only has validity because you choose to validate it. It’s not real. It’s an illusion. A significant illusion, absolutely, but an illusion nonetheless.

"It’s an illusion that only exists in its true form withinside. The spark of consciousness that you are creates your entire reality. Not just part of it; all of it. And what you experience in your awake consciousness state is a reflection of what you believe.

"What you experience in your awake consciousness state is a reflection of what you truly desire to experience because that spark of consciousness that you are creates whatever it is that you desire without judgment as to whether or not it’s right or wrong. If you wish to believe that you exist in a system where this Earth that you experience in your awake consciousness state has capacity to influence your creation (inaudible) and your creation process, you can have that, absolutely. They’re not right or wrong, it’s a choice that you make and you can believe that if you wish.

"If you wish to believe that there are powers out in the universe that create and influence your reality, you can have that as well. And it can be very comforting to have those beliefs and those choices that you are not in control in all of your reality that will—“Yeah, I can believe certain things and then I put it out to the universe and it comes back.” But if it doesn’t come back the way you desire it in your awake consciousness state, the way that you, in your awake consciousness state perceive it to be, then you can always say, “Well, there, you see, I was not really in control. The universe does have an influence upon my reality. The universe does influence what I experience, and the universe is indeed a power to be reckoned with.”

"It certainly is a power to be reckoned with: it’s you. It’s your power. It’s who you are. And in your awake consciousness state if you choose to not be in control, you can have that. And when you choose that and when you experience it it enhances the experience and it makes it more real. That’s why you exist in this vibrational level in the first place, is to experience a range of emotions and feelings that are so intense that you cannot duplicate them in any other vibrational level throughout all of creation. And you accomplish that by limiting your capacity to understand who and what you truly are in your awake consciousness state."

Well, Have You?

"Greetings to you, my dear friends on Earth! We come to you again to speak about the upcoming transition, as there seem to be some misunderstanding about what is about to happen. First of all, dear friends, the transition is not something that will happen in one day in about four years - it is a process, that has already begun, which is already beginning to influence your lives, and will continue to do so more and more, and when that time comes that marks the peak of the transition, it will continue thereafter for many years to come. It is not a sudden "doomsday" nor an "apocalypse", it is merely a transformation of your world, as it adjusts to the new dimension it is entering, a new level of existence, for Earth and for life on it. Just as birth does not happen in one split second, so does the birth of a new era take some time, time of preparation, time of adjustment thereafter, all which is part of the transition. Just as the preparations for this transition began many decades ago, while the actual "birth" of the new era takes place in about four years from now, but "labor" has already begun, "dilation" is in the process of beginning- which means, you will soon notice the effects of the changes needed.

"So many of you fear the changes, yet while going through "labor" can be very painful, the outcome will be joyous, mankind will be able to celebrate the beginning of the new era, as awareness and consciousness grows, life becomes more meaningful, human beings begin to live more in alignment with their soul's desire, and more fulfilled, more joyful. Now is the time to prepare yourself, and the most important preparation may seem like none to many - but the most essential component is, to be free of fear. Do not worry about what may come - the more you focus on some of the horror scenarios some want you to believe in, the more likely it will be that mankind attracts such events, having to suffer, in order to overcome this low level energy. Realize that the time to come will be a most exciting time to live in, as great advances spiritually and intellectually await you, which allow incarnated souls to advance more quickly on this planet than ever before.

"But, in order to reach this realm, it is necessary to overcome some old energetic burdens, which hold you back from having reached this realm already. Now is the best time to do so, as Earth prepares itself for the leap into a new level of existence, that is why you chose to incarnate now, but it will not be an easy time that is ahead, as a lot still has to be done. Many among you have not prepared themselves, even though they feel and know they should - be honest with yourself, have you really done all you can, to advance spiritually?"

An Economic Renaissance

"Let me give you another potential: Against all odds and thousands of years of history even the spiritual attributes of what you call religion on the planet will start shifting and tempering itself. You don’t have to look very far for you to understand that some of the major players of the planet regarding what you call organized religion are in trouble. It is because what they teach reeks with the old energy ways. It is not applicable to real life, as seen by the young people, and that is why the young people are fleeing from the membership roles of churches. They’re not seeing a life’s reality in any of it. The doctrines do not ring with them as being needed or true. They’re seeing it as old. Look for this, for it is evident even now.

"Organized religions will begin to shift. Some of them will even shift away from the mythology that they have been teaching for thousands of years. Instead, they will begin going to the core issues and finding truth that will attract the young people again. Ideas about God that will make sense to a new generation will be put forward. Organized religion will thrive, but it’s going to thrive with a core that has far more integrity than it has ever had. Many of you didn’t want to hear that, but this is the truth of the potentials. It is also an appropriate potential, for most of the planet will not believe as you do, or read words like this. However, most of the planet seeks God in its own way, and will need to have hope within their own belief that God is current and wise. It is a snapshot within two generations of all of those on the planet regarding their own religions and what they find to be appropriate and non-appropriate. This is going to shift.

"I’ve said this before. Watch what the new pope does. “Kryon, there is no new pope.” Oh, really? It depends on when you read this, and when you do and there is a new pope, watch. For this individual is going to have to make massive change if his system is going to keep their church… and they may. When that man sits in the chair, there is the potential of massive change. There has to be, to keep the systems they have.

"This is what is before you. It has to do with cleaning up the integrity of all things within your society. What have you seen in the last three weeks? How many leaders have been brought down because of things discovered? Have you noticed? Is there something infectious going on with integrity issues? [Smile] The answer is yes. It’s about time, and you know it. Let me tell you, there’s three more leaders who are shaking in their shoes as we speak. You’ll see. It’s time to call them on these things, is it not? And you’re doing it.

"I’ll say this because there are those who need to hear it, listening and reading: Do not fear what is going on in your country, American. At this point in time, with the potentials in place, I guarantee you that these things will pass and there’ll be a time when you look backward and say, “Thank goodness we got through this.” When integrity-based decisions are made that represent your core economic issues, you’re going to grow an economy that makes sense. Right now you are changing the rules, if you haven’t noticed, in all fields. So whereas it seems to get worse and worse, you’re trying to make up your mind what to do from moment to moment in order to save this and save that, it will correct itself if you use integrity. What you are doing is pruning your economy. When it grows back, it will be far stronger than it was.

"The system will work better. Eventually there will be more jobs than ever. It’s going to work! Will you take a moment to remember that this is what we saw? We told you it was coming? We even told you the first institution to fall first, and it did! You could read these things within the Kryon published works and celebrate it. I’ll say it again, I dare you to celebrate your recession! Can you? You’re going to get through it. History is going to treat it as an economic renaissance. There’ll be a name given to it, not yet heard, not yet given, which has the energy of that idea. It is a renaissance of the American economy – a start-over so significant that it’s going to shape the way you do business for the next two generations and create a model of how to do it for others.

"In two generations, the biggest competitor on Earth will have arrived with a huge economy of its own, one that will rival even that of China. No matter what China does, no matter how many people they have, this new economy is going to successfully compete – for China is slow to move and must plough through its own historic consciousness to get there.

"There is an entire continent ready to be healed. It is rife with war and civil strife at the moment and has been since you were born. It is sick at the moment, but it’s not going to stay sick forever. Millions and millions of individuals are involved, and they don’t know it yet. For like almost everything else, it is against all odds.

"What happens when you heal a continent? You'll see, for it’s about to be healed. When it is, those there are going to discover that they can build an economy as good as yours, because you’ve set the standard! They’re going to start by looking at you. We’re speaking of Africa. We’re speaking of the potential of a group of states, eventually, who will emerge called The African Union [or something similar]. It will be a bigger conglomerate even than the United States, made and patterned in the same way, with an economy created in the same way. Millions will be almost instantly involved.

"What you solve here in your recession is what they will observe as the energy they begin with. This is different than other emerging economies. Many of those begin and grow and walk through all the mistakes you made during your growth. But the Africans will not go through the gyrations of the 200 years as you did. They will see America and take from you what you teach them. This “healed continent” is going to want what you have. They’re going to want to have their own affluence and they’re going to want to have their own banking that is free from major greed. They’re going to want to have all of the things that make a society grand and great, and they won’t have any problem funding it. Many stand by to create a new society where there are borrowers for businesses and homes. Once you take millions and millions of people who are no longer in survival mode, they want homes, schools, factories and land. Watch for it. It’s inevitable. It’s going to start happening while you’re still here. Look at what has happened in China despite a non-capitalistic government; now amplify this idea for Africa."

Escape Velocity

"We have spoken about it on numerous occasions, and although it is very simple, it is a powerful ally. Your word for it is appreciation and what we mean by this is the ability to appreciate the smallest things in your life as well as the large things.

"Appreciation is a fascinating vibrational field with multiple effects. As you watch your economic system go through its metamorphosis, as you watch earth changes increasing and the stresses upon those around you escalating, including the escalation of stress on yourself, remember the doorway of appreciation. All you have to do is step into this field and the disturbances around you will be less able to effect you negatively. The situations you are dealing with might not change, but your emotional response to them will be of a higher order. And you will be more resourceful in how you deal with the challenges you are facing.

"Were we to describe, in detail, the probable future in terms of negative events, it would be overwhelming. That is not our intent, and so we will not discuss it. What we wish to discuss is escape velocity. How do you escape the negative, imprisoning forces that continue to confine you and the human spirit? The most efficient and simple way is to cultivate appreciation — as ridiculous as that may sound in the face of the immense challenges facing your earth. Appreciation is a key that will unlock the doorway to the new world, even as the old world dissolves and falls apart, as it must.

"As the spiritually driven evolutionary forces increase, and the rip in the fabric of your civilization becomes clear to more and more individuals, there will be a tendency for those who are fixated on 3Dimensional reality (without access to the higher dimensions of themselves) to enter into a state of mental and emotional shock, a kind of numbness. You can recognize these numb people because they will walk and talk like normal, but they are like zombies, half aware, half alive. Have compassion for these individuals because they are caught between the old world that is passing away and an uncertain future that has yet to be born. Have compassion, yet be wary of them. Do not let them seduce you into their numbness and fear.

"If you learn to live in appreciation, you will enter a domain, a vibration that will carry you through the chaos of these times. You will find a type of solace and comfort, and the vibrational rate of your energy body will increase. At some point you will reach what we call escape velocity. You will easily step out of the illusions and the lies of the old world. You will see them for what they are, and you will become a joyous co-creator of a new world that is being birthed even as the old world passes away right before your eyes."

"You Don't Have Problems, You're Just Bored"

The following excerpt is from a session with Kuthumi on July 15, 2006, channeled by Geoffrey Hoppe. You can read more of this and other transcripts at the Crimson Circle website.
---

And my fourth book... my fourth book. It is a simple one. It is not very long, it is an easy read and I would like to talk about it today. It is a simple title, “You Don’t Have Problems, You’re Just Bored.” (some laughter, then applause.) And dare I say another word about it because the title is so explanatory.

You know what happens. Humans tend to get caught up in the whole syndrome of problems, it is addictive energy. It is addictive energy. They actually like having problems. You know how to turn a room full of humans silent instantly? Tell them they can’t speak about problems! (laughter) This is what humans do - they talk about problems. They go over problem after problem after problem and when the problems just naturally tend to disappear, they create new problems - because they’re bored!! (laughter)

The mind has been so programmed to work on problems to keep it occupied. It is an artificial version of being creative. The mind takes a problem and starts hashing over it, looking at it from a very analytical standpoint, viewing it from every different side, analyzing all of the different potentials, analyzing all of the probable outcomes. But then the mind also continues, in these outcomes, to interject new problems that may occur along the way to reaching the solution. So the problems continue over and over again, perpetuating themselves. It is an addictive energy.

Shaumbra, what problems do you have? None. You just think you have problems because your mind has to keep busy. You have to keep it occupied, and you know, problems are a fun game for the mind. Your mind is designed to work on things, to assess things. The mind is designed to keep busy all the time, so it will devour problems. It will chew on them over and over again just like a dog chews on a bone, never wanting to let them go.

But the real situation, the real problem is - the true problem is - you don’t have solutions. You have problems but no solutions, because solutions are no fun. They’re the end of the line. It means the mind has to stop churning and working so hard. It doesn’t have any games to feed it, so it will naturally continue to perpetuate a problem for the sake of itself. It doesn’t want to be bored, doesn’t want to be cast off into nothingness, so it will continue problem after problem after problem. It is a vicious cycle, it is a very tiring cycle, and it is a cycle that we can end - you can end.

A Trance Is A Trance Is A Trance

KRIS: You are perhaps, all of you, familiar with various trance states in relation to relaxations, meditations, inductions and so on. These are not the only kind of trance states that you engage. We could even say to you that when you are at home being wife or husband, that is one particular trance state. Whilst you might still be at home, you could also be a father or a child. You may be a businessman. You might also be a lover. You may be experiencing one set of conflicts and then at another time a different set of conflicts. Everything that revolves around themes is a particular trance state because you are simply ALWAYS in trance. You are never out of trance. You are never NOT in a trance state. We could say you are never not never in a trance state! (Chuckling among the group) Always in a trance state you are.

BRIAN: Even non-physical, Kris?

KRIS: Indeed. Manipulation of consciousness at that layer is far easier and smoother, but you get a lot of your… how do we say?…. apprenticeship in the physical form because your trance states also involve legions of emotions and feelings and a variety of other tones which add depth and dimension to the trance states.

It is not that once you leave the physical all of these colorful add-ons disappear. They become part of the scenario. So you utilize your physical experiences as a means to gauge your capabilities at the conscious level and when you leave the physical, that which you then termed the unconscious, the subconscious or the neo-conscious mind, becomes the greater conscious mind so that you have far more of your faculties at your beck and call to direct and navigate the ship of your consciousness. You would, we are certain, much prefer to go on a cruise ship with a seasoned captain than you would with a monkey, would you not? You are certain that the seasoned captain will take you to your destination safe and sound whilst the monkey is anybody’s guess!

Chief Joseph, On Feeling Good

"This sounds so simple, but feeling good is the "secret" to all you wish for. Especially feeling good about yourselves.

"Feeling good is the key to abundance, healthy relationships, healthy bodies, and all else you’ve ever dreamed of having in your lives.

"It’s all a matter of vibration, friends. When you are feeling good you’re vibrating at a high level. You are living in the frequency your higher selves live in all the time. You are literally moving into a higher dimension, an alternate reality -- a reality where all things are possible. Even what you call miracles.

"As we said, it sounds so simple. People have often asked us, "Joseph, it can’t be that easy! Is just feeling good going to help me create the life of my dreams?"

"The answer is "Absolutely yes!" Feeling good is the key to the life of your dreams.

"However, if you pay too much attention to what’s going on in your world today, especially all the "bad" news in your mainstream news media, you’ll get depressed.

"Focus instead on all the "good" news out there. There’s far more of that than the bad. But you have to do a little digging to find it. You won’t see much of it in your mainstream news media.

"The "bottom line" here today, friends, is this:

"Do whatever it takes to make yourselves feel good. Period! Make that the guiding light of your lives."

- Chief Joseph

What Do I FEEL Like Doing?

"If you follow your intuition, taking action only when it feels right, things will get done in much less time than you would expect, and you will be able to do far more than you can imagine."

"You are always directed to your higher good, even in the smallest ways."

"Your Higher Self looks out over the universe, sees what is coming, and constantly broadcasts messages to you to assist you in being in the higher flow. Although the messages may be faint at first, the more you listen to and follow the messages you hear, the more messages you will receive and the clearer they will become.

"The guidance you receive will lead you to more abundance, joy and love. Your higher path will unfold more rapidly, and the timing of your projects will be just right."

"The way to have more time in this new wave of energy is to raise your vibration and handle things from a higher level. YOU DO THIS BY DOING THINGS ONLY WHEN YOU ARE IN THE RIGHT ENERGY SPACE TO DO THEM. If you aren't in the right mood to do one thing, do something else you are in the mood to do. Trust that if you aren't in the mood to do something, there is something else that is more important to do at that moment."

To Clone Or Not To Clone

The following excerpts are from the Higher Frequencies website:
---

"We are very happy to have the opportunity to speak with you again. There is much activity and many changes occurring on the planet at this time. We want to acknowledge the work that you are doing and we want you to give yourselves a pat on the back to acknowledge this. At times you can be rather rough on yourselves. You question the validity of your actions and choices you are making and do not even realize the growth that has occurred. In these times when you are rushing through life you do not realize how far you have come in such an amazingly short amount of time.

"Now on to the topic at hand. Cloning. Ah, quite the issue, this one. You could call it a hot topic across the galaxy. There are many species who have dabbled in cloning and always the result is the same. There is a missing element when creating a physical form “outside of the grand design”, if you will. Within a cloned being it is possible for walk-ins to inhabit a body, but the life force energy is always lacking. The physical entity does not operate on the same frequency range as the rest of the planet, so it does not learn the same lessons on a spiritual level. There is the experience of physicality, but not the emotional component that links to mass consciousness. It is an isolated existence.

"Whole planets have had their developmental plan altered when the number of cloned beings outnumbered those who incarnated naturally; thus they created a secondary grid of consciousness linked to the planet. But the emotional aspect of their development did not resonate with that of the planet itself, which in turn caused great distress to the celestial body. Quite interesting really. And it sparks quite a bit of debate amongst the members of the Galactic Federation.

"As creators there must be a level of honor and respect for that which you are creating. If it is lacking and the level of spiritual development is not as mature as the technological prowess of the species, then it is doomed to fail. Cloning is not a new endeavor on this planet. Many of you hold memories of the many ghastly cloning experiments from the time of Atlantis.

"Cloning has a detrimental effect on the natural cycles of a planet including life/death cycles and the food chain. We know this may be a bit hard to fully embrace, but even your plant life has emotional experiences. When you consume food not only are your cells nourished by the molecules within the plant, but you absorb the plant’s emotional state as well. This is also true of animals and your consumption of them. When you ingest an animal that has been traumatized, that experience is absorbed by your emotional body. By “blessing” or giving gratitude for your food, you are sending directed energy to the food which alters its frequencies before consumption. When sent the frequency of love, its frequency will alter to match.

"Unlike a union of chromosomes in a laboratory that has been stimulated by electrical current, the natural union of cells generates an emotional body. All of the information and history of the genetic line from both parents is passed down in this field. As you continue to grow, you absorb information about the world around you and connect to the energetic centers of the Earth. However, when the union of genetic material occurs in a laboratory, that spark is missing. An emotional body does not form until much later. If in vitro fertilization occurs the emotional body is created solely from the mother’s emotional experiences while in the womb. Most of the genetic memory of the father is lost. You may think of it as receiving a bad fax transmission. The poor quality of the information does not allow you to read the message.

"For those of you who have had children through in vitro fertilization, not to worry. Your child will adapt to the energy of those around him. But know his perception of reality will be slightly different. And at this time on Earth, new perceptions allow you to move beyond current limitations. So the timing of this technological ability is perfect – as are all things.

"When cloning occurs, there is no possibility to transfer the emotional body. The copy is so poor that nothing can be read. This in turn leads to the creation of an emotional body that is out of sync with that of the other creatures on the planet. Because of the missing “data” it holds a much different frequency.

"The issue at hand for you now is that of cloned animals being introduced into your food chain. Well, we hate to tell you this but its resonance is not far off from what you are already ingesting. Your genetically modified foods are very similar in vibratory rate. That is to say that the “emotional” body of the food does not resonate with that of other naturally occurring foods on your planet. Unless consciously altered, the frequency of the food you are ingesting is lower than your own requiring your body and emotional field to process the “toxins”. If it is your intention to raise your frequency, we recommend that you avoid these foods, both cloned and genetically modified, altogether.

"We caution you on your quest to create life outside the “natural order”. Cloning is mass consciousness’ ultimate expression of its need to control. Out of fear of the unknown you try to harness the ultimate “power”, life itself. So we challenge you to look in your darkest places and release the fear. For you truly are in complete and total control. But from your limited perception of reality, you cannot see it. It is time to move beyond.

"Mass consciousness is beginning to comprehend the notion that they are in control of their destiny. That is why you are seeing the Law of Attraction being talked of so frequently in many of your books and movies. Again you have duality, finding a way to express itself and returning to balance which is what this dimensional shift requires. The negative expression is cloning. The positive, the comprehension of the Law of Attraction. When you realize that you can create at will, you let go of fear. Nothing is insurmountable. You make course corrections and move closer to your goals learning how to read the “road signs”. You are not a lone traveler. There are many of us here, ready and grateful to have the opportunity to give you directions along the way."

Don's comments:

As always, you must decide whether the preceding words have value to you. They are simply ideas to consider, nothing more. The topic of cloning has always seemed rather odd to me, at least in term of cloning an entire being. Perhaps the creation of particular "parts" (i.e. organs) in a laboratory - in order to aid in healing - presents a completely different set of issues.

The above passage makes an interesting point at the end, that cloning is the "negative" expression that lies opposite the "positive" expression of comprehending the law of attraction. Also, the statement that cloning is a mass expression of the need to control is intriguing to me.

Plenty to ponder here.

They Call Me Stormy Weather: A Look Ahead At 2009

The following are excerpts from the latest gathering of Shaumbra on January 3rd, 2009.

Tobias is sharing some thoughts regarding the upcoming year, and what to expect.

---

"Let’s talk now about 2009. Ah, humans love predictions at the beginning of the year. The problem is nobody goes back at the end of the year!"

"So now, from our perspective – and we do watch over this very carefully. We feel into the directions of human consciousness and look at the over-trends, the higher trends that are taking place. It’s very difficult to make exact predictions, and you, as humans should know – many of you were readers in past lives, you were gypsies and magicians, and you could feel into some of the energies – but it is very difficult getting specifics. So let’s go to a higher level overview of what we see happening and then work down to some of the details."

"What lies ahead for 2009? Perhaps it’s not exciting or dramatic, but it’s very noteworthy. We’re going to call it the year of weather – both “‘whether’ or not” – but also the physical weather of Earth. The reason is quite simple: Because as consciousness is changing, New Energy is coming in, Old Energy is going out. Old stuck energy in the Earth itself is shifting and leaving."

"There’s a cleansing at the deepest level of Earth right now and that translates into major weather changes on Earth."

"2009 will be the year of storms – storms that do make the headlines and bring up the drama – whether it is earthquakes, whether it is violent storms that have never been measured to this degree before; winds, rain, lightning – odd and unusual lightning storms all across the world that bring up patterns that haven’t been seen before in a lightning storm in the past – these are going to occur all across Earth.

"Some will say that this is a result of global warming. They’re going to blame everything on global warming. They will go into panic and drama. They will go to an extreme, because it’s a fun game that they play.

"Others will blame it on God. “God is angry, God is upset with humans,” they will say. “This is the beginning of the end, the rapture, the end of Earth, and God is expressing his displeasure at humans and therefore sending forth the forces of nature and weather to wake people up.” And at times to take out thousands, tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands in a single storm, in a single swoop.

"Others will blame it on the Earth herself, saying that – these are the ones of scientific minds – saying that there was forces in Earth and in the solar system that had not been predicted before that are causing these erratic patterns and that perhaps the Earth is going to start crumbling apart.

"None of these are reality, they’re drama. They’re drama. They are intellectual or they’re emotional drama.

"What you have here is because the consciousness of Earth is changing to such a degree that it’s going to affect the weather. The weather comes in response to human consciousness. That doesn’t mean that it always has to be nice and sunny. (some laughter) The weather provides clearing. The weather provides insight and awareness also."

"Weather will make the headlines, particularly – particularly – after the first quarter this year. It’s going to perplex scientists and those who study its patterns, and they’re going to wonder why the shifts in the magnetic poles are changing on a very erratic basis, as well as the intensity or the magnetic pull to Earth. Both the magnetic poles are going to be shifting, and the strength – or the lack of strength – of the gravitational pull on Earth is going to change this year, and it’s going to be erratic. It’s not going to follow a nice symmetrical path. It’s going to change in every part of the Earth, and every biological aspect of the Earth is going to feel it, but most will not understand what is going on.

"Many will go into drama and emotion, not knowing what’s going to happen. They’re going to say it’s a reminder from Earth that Earth is grander than human, that humans have abused the Earth and now it’s time to honor and respect the Earth. In a way, yes – always honor and respect the Earth. But don’t fear it. It’s part of you. The weather is going to provide important shifts in releasing energies that have been held within for eons of time that have been waiting to go."

"The non-dramatic part, the part that won’t make the immediate headlines, is a change in the global climate is going to cause a shortage of food for the next several years at least. Places that have been relied on to grow food will not be able to grow. The reservoirs deep under the Earth’s surface will dry up or become toxic to the plants. Places that have experienced temperate weather are going to start experiencing more severe weather – too cold, too hot – and the plants that once grew upon the surface will not grow as hardy, if at all.

"This will cause a shortage in the food supplies on Earth.This won’t make the headlines right away, not like a stock market crash does or a good war. It is the subtle and quiet news that is taking place. But I want you to be aware. I want all of you to be cognizant of the weather. Go beyond the front page headlines and dig deep into it. I would even like to see a group of Shaumbra represented from different countries to join together as the weather report, helping other Shaumbra understand what’s going on. Not from a place of drama, but from a place of understanding.

"So as the food shortages begin, obviously, this sets off a whole different type of energy. Here you have countries right now and businesses dealing with financial matters and political matters and wars, and they’re preoccupied with that. They’re all preoccupied with business. They’re all preoccupied with saving the economy. And right when they’re trying their hardest to bring things back together, they’re going to get the bad news coming in the door – “We’re running out of food.”

"Chaos or a blessing? Disaster or just a change? Which one do you want to believe? Which one do you want to live in?

"Shaumbra, all this is happening very naturally. Even when groups – whole groups of humans – leave the Earth at one time, there is a choice behind it at some level. Some of these groups have been so connected to their particular culture or their ancestral and cultural karma that they can no longer stay on Earth the way they were. So at some level they’re agreeing for mass exodus."

"Watch the weather. Watch the change that takes place in the production of food. Watch how crisis will brew for some and how chaos and end-of-the-world scenarios and conspiracy and everything else… and dear Shaumbra, we invite you to understand it’s a redistribution. It’s a change, and it’s appropriate."

"Weather patterns will be intense, especially in the second part of this year, going into next year. As we said, it will cause the change in the food patterns. But lo and behold, bright ones and ones of consciousness, ones who understand what’s really happening will tap into the energies of the spiritual beings on Earth such as you. And that’s when the real work and the real inventions and creations and new technologies will come to be.

"There are technologies right now for food production that cannot come out of a laboratory because of lack of funding or lack of interest. There are technologies right now that are so ready to come forward. But they’re not, because these technologies have to do with clean, very cheap fuel, as David said. They are ready to come forward, but there is a lack of funding or interest or sometimes just closed doors. These things are ready to come out. There are technologies right now, dear Shaumbra, that would amaze you in terms of healing that have already been developed. They just need the refinement and the funding behind them. That’s where you come in. That’s where consciousness comes in.

"This is not a time to go into drama, into conspiracy, into end-of-the-world. It’s a time to rise above that, to use your creative energies, your creator energies to help bring these forward. And all you have to do is have hope and have vision and have awareness and understanding, to be bi-present, to be in this moment. Not to leave your body, not to leave this reality to hide somewhere else, not to pretend that it’s not happening, but to understand it’s a new era. It’s a new time. Things do change."

Your Creation Expresses Itself Through You

"The Master understands that they are a creator. It is a very simple concept, you have heard it before, but now it's time to start putting it to use. The Master understands that they are the creator. You are the point of creation - right here, right now - and when you make a choice you start the creation process happening.

"It doesn't come from anywhere or anyone else. You don't need to have supernatural powers. Creation happens the moment you choose to create and then it begins expressing itself. Your creation expresses itself through you. It lines up all of the energies within you, it draws in energies from outside of you that want to come into your reality, and then it begins unfolding. That is when you begin to experience the magic. That is when you begin to see how true creation opens and flows."

Holiday Greetings

A joyous holiday hi-ya to all my fellow monkeys!

It's been a momentous and inspiring year, and what better way to honor and celebrate it than to actively recall and appreciate the many fulfilling experiences we've been gifted over the past year.

Good stuff, all of it, as time makes clear.

I wish each of you a happy, light-filled holiday and new year - and be sure to enjoy the final week of a year that will long be remembered!

With much love and a nutmeg mistletoe embrace,

Ponder WONDER

“Here’s a Christmas wish: that people in general look beyond the normal and familiar, and see through new frames and lenses to what possibility surrounds them every moment and everywhere. Simple. Let go of hate and presumptions and all forms of dogma and… doctrine. See what there is that will be filled and filling with wonder. Without wonder, you get the same old same old. Ponder wonder. That’s all.” (12/25/2008)

The Year 2008 In Review

The following is an excerpt from a session with Tobias on Dec. 6th, 2008. You can read more of this and other sessions at the Crimson Circle website:

Looking Back Over the Year

So, moving on, just short, few comments here. If you remember at the beginning of this calendar year we said this was going to be a ping-pong year, and it was, indeed. And it was. There were a lot of pings this year.

There was your economy, the finances. Could you have imagined in… oh, I know that Cauldre would have blocked back in January, blocked if we said the Dow Jones is going to go down below 8,000 before the end of the year. He would have panicked. He would have run out and done panicky things and many of the rest of you would have also – dug underground shelters preparing for the end of the Earth. And if we had told you the biggest investment houses in the world would cease to exist – wiped off the face of the Earth by the end of 2008 – you would have surely gone into a panic. You would have tried to build some spaceship and eject yourself off of Earth, because you figured it would have been coming to an end.

If we told you that in one calendar year – one calendar year – oil would be going from $144 a barrel to $40 a barrel – $144 early in the year and down to $40 at the end of the year – you would have called us crazy, or at least you would have called Cauldre crazy. It was a year of ping-pong.

If we had told you, even in January of this year, that a Black man – a young Black man – would be elected the next president of the United States, you’d of accused us of smoking celestial something-or-other. (laughter)

Dear Shaumbra, if we had told you that the world was going to go through these changes in a year, changes in nearly everything you can think of, you would have been so frightened of the year, so panicked of the year, it would have been hard to get through. But look – look at what’s happening. Oh, and it’s happening only because consciousness is remaking itself. Earth and humanity are just remaking themselves right now. But they are not going back. They are not remaking themselves from the old recipes. They’re being remade from the new. That’s why it appears to be challenging.

While it was a year of ping, it was also a year of pong. Do you realize… do you realize – and Cauldre is asking about our accuracy on statistics – there were more new business start-ups this year than ever in history? Now, on one hand businesses are crumbling, falling away – the biggest, the strongest – but yet there are more new business start-ups in terms of corporations, home businesses, whatever type of legal structures you put on it, more than ever.

There are more patents right now being worked on and in the process of being filed on a worldwide basis than ever before. So if the world is coming to an end, why is invention and creativity at an all time high?

There are more good deeds being done by humans right now than we can ever remember in our tracking on these realms. Well, you read about the bad news, you read about the murders and the slayings and the terrorist attacks, but do you realize that there are more humans who are taking this attitude of love and compassion, who are doing loving things for themselves first and doing loving things for humanity. Not to save it, not because they feel sorry for it, because they are absolutely in love with life. They’re not doing it to earn brownie points in heaven. They’re not doing it for their stinking karma. They are doing these things because they love life more than ever.

The Christmas Story

The following is the first part of Jeshua's Christmas message for this year, channeled and selected by Judith Coates from among his many Christmas messages. You can read the rest of this and other messages from Jeshua at the Oakbridge University website:
http://www.oakbridge.org/articles.php?aid=37
---

"Beloved One, I would speak with you now about a story well-known in your culture. It is the Christmas Story.

"Within the Essene brotherhood my birth had been foretold and the Essene community knew that Mary's child was to be the messiah. But the Essenes also knew that this was not information that should be commonly shared with the Romans or with Herod, who was the overseerer of the territory. The Romans, and Herod in particular, would not want to see another ruler, as they would see it, a ruler upon this plane. It would be seen as a threat.

"The Essenes knew that my birth needed to be kept quiet. And because there was a network which had been established long ago, there was an Essene in Bethlehem who ran an inn. He was the head of the Essenes in Bethlehem. And to the Romans and to the other Jews, he was nothing more than an innkeeper who was very much focused upon running the inn and supplying ones with food and wine and lodging. And yet, this one was very learned. He had a keen mind and a loving heart and was a true servant of the Heavenly Father.

"So when it was known that my mother, Mary, and father, Joseph, would be making the trek to Bethlehem to be counted, word was sent out in advance unto this one to prepare a place for my mother. And it was not felt that to come unto the inn which was full of all of the ones who were there to be counted, yes, but there to have a good time as well, that this would be a suitable place for Mary to come and for the messiah to be born.

"When they arrived, my father went into the inn and requested a place. Mary was with him at his side and her time had come. The innkeeper said at first that there was no room in the inn - for he wanted to keep up the appearance of being the innkeeper. He knew and Joseph knew and Mary knew that there would be room, but it would not be in the inn.

"Upon further questioning, very quietly the innkeeper said, "There are some caves to the back that I use as stables. You may go and spend the night there, if you so wish." And Joseph knew that this was the place for them.

"Now, these were caves that were quite dry, quite comfortable, and even though they were used as stables for the animals, they were clean. It fulfilled the Scriptures that said that I would be born in a manger, that I wou Id be born in a lowly place - humble, yes, and yet it was not what you would see as uncomfortable. It was quite warm and very comforting, and the animals were there at my birth and they knew themselves to be one with the Light that I am and that all are.

"Mary's time was fulfilled that evening and I was born, welcomed into the world by a midwife and several Essene women who helped with the birth, as well. Joseph was sent to the entrance of the cave to watch and to abide within his heart, for he was being as many men are who are going to be fathers: he was being very nervous and very much wanting to help, to assuage the pain that he felt Mary was enduring - and yet Mary bore it all with equanimity.

"There is an intensity accompanying a birth - as is true not only on the physical level, but upon the level of a birth of a new perception, a change in your way of thinking, a change in the way that you love. Oftentimes changes are born with great intensity. And as you are going through the birth process, there can be much anguish, much feeling of being pushed, perhaps against the will and yet, it is a divine energy that is pushing you into a new birth, a new way of expressing. And it can be painful.

"There was a great light in the heavens: the Star which had been foretold. It was caused by the conjunction of several planets. Astrologers had seen this from afar off: ones who were studying the ancient prophecies and knew this would be a sign of the birth of the messiah at this time. I emphasize "at this time" for, with the birth of each age, there is a birth of a messiah, and this was not the first time that I, as the Christ - not I as Jeshua, but I as the Christ - was born upon this plane.

"Each time the prophecies have spoken of various signs to be seen in the heavens and this was true at my birth, as well. There were signs of the stars, the planets coming into conjunction with each other which made such a light that it was seen by all upon the known world at that time.
This is why the ones known as the Wise Men traveled from afar, for they had seen the movement in the heavens and they knew this to be a sign of the birth of one who was to be a great leader. And so they traveled.

"The star that was seen has meaning on many levels. It was, as the astrologers saw, a conjunction of planets reflecting the light back to the Earth, reflecting the Light that you are to this Earth. Ones have said that it was a great starship that came to witness the birth. And this is true, as well, for there were many of your brothers and sisters expressing in a different realm, dimension, who were here, for they had felt the acceleration of the energy which would bring forth the demonstration upon this plane at that time. They also have their historians, as you would call them, the ones who study the mystical writings. They also have their inner wisdom. And they came to witness this in what you would call your starships, and they were seen by ones who had the eyes to see, and by others they were not seen.

"The light of the star symbolizes the Light not only of my birth, but the Light that you are, the Light that mankind in this age has been willing to accept and to acknowledge as himself/herself. For there are those of you who have always been in oneness in the awareness, in oneness with the Light that you are, and there were many who felt the energy that was brought together by my birth.

"It was not just my birth which was important. It was the coming together of the consciousness, of readiness, of willingness to accept the Light, your divine inheritance of being the Child of the Heavenly Father. There was a readiness upon this plane, an expectancy - as there is now, in this day and time. It is not an expectancy in this day and time of a birth of a messiah as one individual, coming to be the saviour of the world who will change everything in the world - although there are still those who look to another to save them - but there is a growing expectancy of awareness of Who you are, an acceleration of occurences which are bringing it right in front of the face of everyone who is willing to look at it and to say that there must be more to living. "There must be more to life than just what this body would speak to me, of what these eyes would show me and what the ears would tell me. There is a longing in my heart to come Home." And this is felt by many of your brothers and sisters. There is a birthing that is happening upon this plane, again."
