I Shall Not Want

"Be aware when you ask for anything that you literally are expressing that you are limited. You are expressing lack. So, what is the opposite of that? It is to find things to be grateful for. More importantly, for all of those things you want give thanks and hold in your heart that you already have them."

And What About NOW?

"For just a moment, before you do anything or think anything at all, just feel the clean and pure substance of this moment, this one right now, right here, pure and innocent, waiting to be filled with your actions and your dreams.

"It awaits you now, this moment, waiting for you to embrace it fully and fill it with your presence, joy and love.

"You are born anew in this moment, right now. Sparkling and shining, innocent and open, clean and pure, filled with promise and beauty. This is who you are."

What is Barack Obama's karmic role in leading the U.S. at this time?

Barack Obama's karmic contract is to be a leader for the world, not just a leader for the U.S. His legal contract is to lead the U.S, but his karmic contract is to be a leader for the world. His karmic contract is to be a catalyst for enlightening change in the world. A catalyst is a substance or an object that facilitates change. It does not make the change occur – instead, it initiates and enhances a process and that is precisely what his role is to be. In fact, his contract to be a catalyst for a certain process has already been accomplished. His initial contract was fulfilled during and just after his election campaign. The changes he was meant to facilitate occurred in the hearts and minds of people across the world.

With his initial karmic contract fulfilled, he is now working to support the changes that are only possible if they are created and upheld by the citizens of the world. A catalyst is a substance that causes or accelerates a chemical reaction, or a person that inspires an event or change to take place. A catalyst can signal a process to begin and it can enhance or speed up a process that is already underway. Barack Obama is doing both. He helped initiate a process and he is also helping to enhance or make more efficient a process that is already under way. The process is human empowerment, which is both a result of and the driving force for healing of the human family.

Barack Obama is not the only catalyst and he is not the only leader involved in this work. There are many other world leaders, both official and non-official, who do this work. The catalyst that he provides is unique. This role can be seen most clearly in what was fulfilled during his election campaign, where most of his karmic contract was fulfilled. The speeches that he gave and the particular way that he ran his campaign catalyzed a process inside millions of people across the world. The messages and actions that took place during his campaign initiated and activated a process within millions of individuals, and a process across many societies, by which human beings are becoming empowered enough to dismantle oppressive forces and create more light and love, effectually making the world a better place. (As you might imagine, this is the dramatically short version.)

In a sense, Barack Obama’s karmic contract was to be a catalyst for hope. Hope only works in the individuals who choose to carry it or act on it. The effects of his catalytic process were most outwardly apparent in the ways that people were activated to vote or to make changes in their communities. But the greatest actual effects occurred within people’s minds and hearts. The massive shift toward hope and empowerment cannot be measured but rest assured, the world is a more peaceful place and more people have moved forward in enlightenment based on the role he has played. Now, the work and the way forward are yours to determine.

Once Barack Obama entered the presidency, his role as a catalyst has been somewhat diminished because people have a tendency to cease their own empowerment when they turn to a powerful leader. This occurs because people, through the dynamics of oppression, have learned to turn their own authority over to their leaders. People in nearly every culture on the planet have learned to wait for their leaders to take decisive action, and in waiting each individual forfeits their own power to affect change.

Citizens in the U.S. have exhibited a tendency to imagine that once Barack Obama was in an official leadership position that he would take care of things. When you wait for your leaders to instruct you, or you sit back and blame others for their missteps, you lose track of your own power, and it becomes easy to lose faith in your own ability to create positive change in the world around you.

Remember that all of you have been oppressed in one way or another. It is not your fault that you have been oppressed, but it is your responsibility to actively choose to reassign your personal authority to yourself, to re-determine and revitalize yourselves to make positive changes in the world around you. This reclaiming of your personal power, and it’s collective potential, ultimately is the process that Barack Obama was meant to catalyze. His calling is to inspire all the citizens in the world into action. He will not make the world a better place through his actions; instead, he inspires all of you to make the world a better place.

As long as each of you is taking responsibility and doing what you can to improve the world within your sphere of influence, then you are using him positively as a catalyst. If people do not use his leadership role to further inspire and empower themselves into action, then the usefulness of his role will expire. It will no longer be useful for him to be in the role of a world leader officially if the role of catalyst is not being fulfilled. It is vitally important that all of you continue to remember that he is not here to make change, he is here to inspire you to make change. That is the role he came here to perform, that is the karmic contract that he signed up for. Most of this has been accomplished on his end of the contract. Of course as a president he has legal and societal contracts to fulfill, but outcome of his karmic contract now depends upon you.

How will the changes happening in Ascension and Enlightenment relate to the next elections in the United States?

The next major elections in the United States occur in November of 2010, 2011, and 2012. The changes that are occurring through Enlightenment and Ascension are creating societal instability. More of you have come to recognize that you want to make positive changes in your lives, and that you actually have the ability to make those changes. This realization comes as you are no longer willing to buy into or put up with societal oppression; either oppression of yourself or of those around you. As you make these shifts inwardly, you create a dramatic shift in the fabric of society.

Ultimately the shift is toward a new, more stable system. But instability is a hallmark of change. You have to unravel the current system in order to make space for the new system to be built. If you think of the two political parties in the U.S. as being on two sides of a pendulum, each election swings the balance of power toward one side or the other. As you move toward a system change, the swinging of the pendulum becomes stronger and more erratic. Eventually, the pendulum will break free, so to speak. It will no longer serve you to have a political system based on duality. In the meantime, you will continue to see the balance of power shift more drastically with each election. No one side will triumph eventually. Instead, in the coming decades, you will revise the entire system.

For the next few years, you will continue to see a bigger, stronger, more rapid and more dramatic swing when the power shifts to the other party. It appears that there is an increase in polarization in U.S. politics, when in fact the thing that is actually changing is that within most of you that polarization is diminishing. Fewer of you are willing to gives yourselves over completely to one side or the other, and therefore you are creating change; you are creating a shift.

The first result of the shift is the increase in the pendulum swing. But then the pendulum, when it comes back to center, will come back to a more stable center, for far more of you are finding residence in what you call a political middle ground. The political middle ground is simply the space where people tend to turn to their own authority, to rely on their own thinking and intuition to make decisions rather than turning to a pre-set paradigm, a particular leader, or habits or behaviors that are dictated by institutions.

You are seeing an unraveling occur. This has been happening for 30 years; it will likely happen for another ten or twenty. What you are likely to see in the next few elections is a further swinging of the pendulum. In the past you may have seen one party stay in power for eight or ten years at a time, you are now going to find that parties tend to stay in power two or three years at a time.

The shifts will increase. They will appear more dramatic and then suddenly, at some point in the next ten years or so, you will find the swings become greatly diminished. It is not a guarantee, but right now that is the outlook for U.S. elections. This dynamic is occurring before stability is occurring across the world in all different government systems, in all different political dynamics. You can apply that dynamic to every other government and political system. All across the world, the change of Enlightenment is occurring and therefore as people are waking up, they are less willing to hold the current institutions of power and oppressive institutions in place. You are going to continue to see more unraveling and more dramatic swings in political power.

In some parts of the world this will continue for another fifty or sixty years. Ultimately your governments and political systems will need to revise themselves according to how much their citizens have empowered themselves as individuals.

And it all begins with each one of you. The choices you make and the power you develop in your own life has a massive impact on the potential for collective Enlightenment. The journey of a thousand miles truly does begin with a single step, and all of you began taking those steps long ago. As each of you moves through Enlightenment, you make a radical difference in the potential outcome for your government and political systems. Your life and your power matters more than you imagine! (January 2010)

A Few Words From Uncle Albert

“A human being is part of the whole called by us ‘universe’, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest – a kind of optical illusion of his consciousness.

"This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for only a few persons nearest to us.

"Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion and to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.”

-Albert Einstein

Resistance is Futile!

"The biggest challenge most humans face in their lifetimes is their resistance to what they do not want. And yet resistance only brings more of what you do not want.

"There are two principles -- or laws, if you like -- at work here.

"The first is what many of you call the Law of Attraction. Simply said, the Law of Attraction dictates you will always get more of what you put your focus on. Always. No exceptions.

"If you are focusing on something through your resistance to it, you'll get more of it. And if you're focusing on something through your appreciation of it, you'll get more of it. You get what you focus on. Period.

"The second principle is simply allowing all others to be whatever they choose to be. Whether you agree with it or not. You will find great peace and joy, friends, in simply following your own bliss, and ignoring what others are doing.

"Resist what others are doing and you'll end up frustrated and drained. Allow others what they are doing and concentrate on what you are doing, and you'll end up joyful and energized."

Like A Prayer Machine

"The fact about prayer is that any time you are in a state of joy and self-love, you are in the state of prayer. You are a living, walking, breathing prayer. That is a reason some people, when they walk in the room, everything suddenly feels better, lighter, more joyful. Because the person carries with her or him that resonance of prayer -- of love and light. The only way they can do this is by having come to terms with themselves, come to accept themselves and love themselves enough that they are able to transmit love all around them. The best thing you can do with your prayer or meditation practice is continue to find the insights you need to understand where you judge yourself, where you let yourself down, where you are critical of yourself and to continually let those things go. Instead choosing all of the different states or ways of being, that facilitate your sense of love, forgiveness for your mistakes, joy in everything that you do. That is a state of prayer and ultimately you are like a prayer machine. Your natural state is to be in that state of prayer. It may feel like you are fighting an uphill battle, you are actually moving back toward your natural state. Let it be easy. Employ a sense of curiosity and forgiveness and patience with yourself; let it be easy. (Jan 2010)"

The Collapse Of The Third Dimension

"The healing and release work you do for yourself extends to all of humanity and releases the fear polarity that is the dominant aspect of the third dimensional path. As the earth moves through ascension, as it is doing now, the third dimension is collapsing and its energy is being replaced by higher vibrations that do not contain the energetic connections to fear and chaos. While this is happening on the earth level, it is also happening in each of you and as you release your own connections to fear and chaos, you are collapsing your third dimensional reality.

"Each dimensional shift replaces the previous one that held the prevailing energy. For the third, the prevailing energy is fear and ascension replaces that with unconditional love. As the dimension collapses the individual results will be seen in the flow of energy in each reality. Any fear-based manifestation will begin to collapse as the connections to it are removed. Every thought or belief that is released or healed removes a connection and collapses its third dimensional aspect, replacing it with a higher vibration.

"This collapse can appear to be fearful or it can be a joyful experience, depending on your willingness to embrace this powerful transformation. Humanity has little experience of dimensions beyond the third, except for some memory of Home, and they are not able to see as an opportunity to step into their own mastery and divinity. As the third dimension collapses it also release anything that is based in this energy, which includes all structures on the emotional, physical and intellectual planes that are connected to it. This can feel like the 'end of the world' but it is simply the result of the replacement of one dimensional level with another.

"Humanity agreed that this would be their ascension path and it is being accomplished according to the divine plan. The end of the third dimension is the end of fear, the release of the veil that separates humanity from higher planes of being and allows the creation of the spiritual human. This is a time to celebrate, to remember the promise of the ascension path and the release of the limitations that you have accepted as part of life but which are contrary to your truth. Celebrate this as confirmation of your progress and be willing to receive the blessings of the new world paradigm that has been prepared for you and awaits your presence."

Some Thoughts on 2010

"Now, what about 2010? We stated earlier that this is a pivotal year, and that is so. There is nothing carved in stone here, but there are some general trends to observe. We state again (we can’t say this too frequently, especially just now) that YOU incarnated in this body at this time in this place for a reason, and that reason has a lot to do with creating and supporting these changes.

"Others are grateful to you. Your entire life isn’t only about serving a higher purpose, of course, but the majority of you reading this incarnated at this time so that you’d be among friends with the same idea. Turn to your right and your left and say hello to your neighbor. The people you pass on the street. The people in line at the cashier at the grocer. The people in the long snaking lines of cars moving slowly across endless highways. These are the people who also chose to be here now. You are effortlessly connected to one another in this way.

Global Changes

"2010 is pivotal because much change will be evident this year. Not the far-reaching long-term things we mentioned earlier, although those will be a part of the overall change, but you can expect the following:

"Lots of people will be losing loved ones this year, people of all ages who are choosing to transition out of life as a way of “opting out” of some of the other changes taking place. Making room for the new. There will be collective grief over this unusual amount of transition, but at the same time there will be joy – the summer bloom turns to dried autumn foliage and then to bare winter earth, returning once again in spring to a new green shoot and a sense of promise. This kind of deep change affects people on so many levels.

"Political instability or a sense of insecurity, and sometimes a seeming lack of direction. This will be evident in many areas including the U.S, Canada, some countries in South America, and Japan, among others. The balance is beginning to discernibly shift away from old powers to other parts of the globe and this will be even more evident this year. Look for increased positive attention on several unexpected political models that show the shape of things to come: Bangladesh, Bolivia, Chile, Cuba, Finland, Guyana, Honduras, Iceland, Laos, Malta, Netherlands, Sri Lanka, and Uruguay.

"A shift by governments that use stealth and covert activity toward more overt blame. Incidents could be strategically created in an effort to maintain a sense of control over what is feared by those governments to be a losing battle in the eventual shift of power mentioned above. This could result this year or soon in a possible military takeover of a major western government. This would not likely be obvious from the outside, even to the inhabitants of that country, and would likely be presented as a need to protect citizens. We could repeat now that this would be, overall, an interim measure and that further change toward a more gentle way of being will be evident sooner than later.

Personal Transformation

"We realize that some of what we see as potential for 2010 on a global level can seem frightening from your present perspective. There is, however, balance in this process of change. Nothing happens without regard to the overall eventual result on a collective basis – not even the most minute, personal event is overlooked. But real and lasting change occurs from deep inside, which does often result in discomfort for a time. On a personal level for most people this year, change is present in profound and uplifting ways:

"By mid-year, a sense of peace and elation settles over the world, affecting a good many people and allowing most of you to fall into the “flow” of your life. This involves really manifesting what it is you are here doing – in other words, a life purpose or life task. By mid-year, then, a good many of you will feel purposeful and peaceful.

"Meditation practices deepen. More people connect with “old-world” ways: herbal lore, shamanism, flower essences, work with gems and minerals, animal wisdom, etc. More people begin feeling tapped into personal intuition or spiritual guides. This is an excellent time to deepen your practice or to begin one, especially by mid-March or so.

Though more people will be without homes, those who don’t choose to exit this year will find the care they need. Perhaps in your back yard, or from your open hand.

"By year-end, then, most of you will be in a vastly different place on a personal level. To support your inner process, which in turn supports your ability to take in what’s going on in the world around you, we can suggest:

"Find something that matters to you. Whether it’s a particular tree on your walk or a special person or a cause, there is something that really matters to you. Figure out what it is this year and give it love.

"Observe the world around you. Whether it’s cars and concrete or it’s blooming cherry trees or tall pines, there is a beautiful world around you. Treat yourself every day with a few minutes simply observing what you see, without judging the merits of the scene. You’ll find yourself, after time, feeling compassion for that world around you.

"Deepen your practice — or begin one — of connecting to your own higher wisdom. There are many avenues for this, including scrying, channeling, or simply listening for that deep inner voice inside you. Find a teacher to assist you if you feel guided to do so.

"The most helpful thing you can do for your planet is to stay — as best you can — connected to yourself and that which surrounds you.

"It’s a wonderful year ahead, wonderful and tragic and beautiful and human. Make it yours, this year. You are here because you chose to be here."

Doubt

"Doubt is pretty much part of the human condition. It is just another one of those little monsters that you just don't give any attention to. Nobody has gone through this physical reality without having doubt. Like when I sat down here this morning, I didn't have a clue as to what I was going to do or say. I don't know what I am going to do until I sit down and do it. We all go through this when you live from the heart. You simply have to get out of the way, and let your heart speak. So you might feel a little uncomfortable about new things in the first few minutes, but it goes away, because you are not feeding that monster any more. It starves it to death. You could feed the monster, and say "I am afraid so I am not going to do it". Then what that does is it just starts snowballing into bigger and bigger fears and into more and more limitations. Then you find yourself way over here somewhere, where you didn't want to be at all. We have all done this collectively on a big level in the world. We are all now working to pull ourselves back into the place that we know we came here to be."

Is There A Jesus In The House?

Question: Can you speak to the nature of Christ energy or Christ consciousness? Who is Christ and how does this Being relate to the evolution of humankind and the earth?

Answer: Christ is a distinct energetic entity. It is a consciousness. You can envision Christ energy or Christ consciousness as a collection of many Divine Beings whose primary purpose is the Light of Compassion. The group is immense. In fact, it includes many human beings who are alive on the planet now! The Keepers have discussed the journey of humankind -- the journey that you have taken to separate or create an illusion of separation between the different parts of yourselves, including your bodies, your minds, your hearts and your spirits. You imagine yourselves to be composed of these components rather than knowing yourselves as whole.

The journey toward that illusion of separation has been long and different civilizations and different beings have helped you create that illusion. They helped build the separations between your mind and you body (that is what helped make human beings physical in the first place), between your minds and your hearts, between your hearts and your bodies, and so on. All of these different components of you have been separated through the efforts of different civilizations and individual beings, including Divine Beings and humans.

The Beings you know today to be spiritual masters or teachers are those who have lived to serve as reminders that you are whole. Each of these different leaders or teachers has given particular messages or brought a particular residence to help reweave or remind you that it is possible to reweave you back to wholeness. In a simple way, we could say that all of those teachers and leaders have existed to remind you of who you truly are: Your higher selves, your Divine Selves. Ultimately what that means is that all of you are made of Love.

Christ consciousness has a particular resonance in regard to all of this. Christ consciousness resides in the connection between your heart and your spirit. Christ consciousness resonates in the imagined space between your heart and your spirit. When Christ consciousness resonates there, your heart and your spirit become realigned and they become one. Christ consciousness is something that all of you have available and many of you are actually expressions of Christ consciousness. You are part of the group energy that is Christ consciousness or that holds it in this world. Many of you feel drawn to Christ consciousness because it is like home to you. Many others of you feel drawn to it because you know you need it. It does not have to come through Christianity. That is just the social structure that human beings put around it. Of course, like any social structure, it has warped the true energy of Christ consciousness; it has created all kinds of drama or power differentials or all of kinds of oppression. Any social institution has those components so in order to connect with Christ consciousness, there is no need to associate with any particular religion but you can find Christ consciousness through any particular religion. Christ consciousness is a birthright of every human being. It is simply the connection between your heart and your spirit.

Question: Who is Christ in relation to the person, Jesus? Has Christ energy been incarnated on earth before?

Answer: The human being, Jesus Christ, who lived roughly two thousand years ago, was an expression of Christ consciousness. That human being was both an individual human soul and at the same time that human being was occupied by the group energy that is Christ consciousness. Take a moment to consider how both are possible when you look at it from outside the third dimension. In a sense, that soul, that being who chose to live as Jesus Christ, chose to live as a channel for a larger energy rather than as an individual ego. He was a channel for Christ consciousness. In a sense you could say he was an individual soul but at the same time, the way he existed in this world was as a group-energy so that many of you may feel a close association without lifetime because many of you were there in spirit as part of that group collective energy. That is the relationship.

Christ consciousness has incarnated many other times on Planet Earth, never in such a distinct way - there is a reason that human being caused such a stir in your history. He operated as a portal of Christ consciousness and infused the earth with it. When you get a big infusion of divine energy, often the first thing that people do is to immediately see all the shadows that they could not see before. It is like shining a light in a dark cave – the first thing you see are the shadows created.

When Christ consciousness arrived in the form of a person, people immediately began to deal with all of the things that were holding them back. This caused the societies affected by Christ to step into an even darker age than you had ever seen before based on that Christ consciousness having come. Just as when you turn on the lights in a room that was previously dark, you can suddenly see the dirt and the mess and the shadows that you could not see when you were in the dark. Humanity had a lot of healing to do after that channel of Christ consciousness was brought in through that single human lifetime.

There has not been another lifetime lived by a person that brought Christ consciousness in that same way in such a widely-known manner. It was only needed once and it was needed at that particular time to bring your darkness into a new age. You do not have the same darkness now and you do not have the same need. Instead, Christ consciousness appears and many people give themselves over to Christ consciousness for parts of their lives or most of their lives. Mother Teresa is one of them. There are many, many others. The Dalai Lama is one of them. See how it is not bound to religion? Gandhi is one of them. They are all part of Christ consciousness. In addition, there are untold millions of people who also have been expressions of Christ consciousness in their lifetimes.

Some readers might recognize this in yourselves. If you feel that you are part of Christ consciousness, then you can know that you came here to help all of humanity. But you must first and foremost realign your own heart with your own spirit, then to help everybody else to do the same. The way that is done, the only way that is done, is through love. The only way it is done is by developing, establishing and developing a capacity for unconditional love and then exerting that capacity or offering that love in every circumstance you possibly can, in every way you can possibly come up with. You came here to love. It sounds quite lovely but it can actually lead to quite a difficult and painful life because you will be particularly sensitive to the times when Love is blocked or thrown away. Your calling is to continually draw back to and foster your capacity for unconditional Love and share it every way that you can.

It's NOT The Economy, Stupid!

"Your feeling states and your "vibrational frequency" determine your level of abundance - not others and not circumstances out in the world. Those who believe the economy is responsible for any challenges they are experiencing around prosperity are perceiving "in reverse," so to speak. You are always the source and cause of your experience of reality. What you manifest directly correlates with the essence of your energy. Your feeling states are barometers for your thoughts, beliefs and spiritual understandings. If you hold negative feelings toward anyone or anything, this pulls down your feeling state and your energetic resonance. When you manifest from a low-vibrational energy, you will experience roadblocks, disappointments, illness, accidents, and overall feelings of being out of sync with the universe. These experiences are not a "punishment", but wakeup calls to help you see that you need to examine the beliefs, intentions, motivations, visions, and identities you currently hold."

Excerpt from Abundance Magic: 44 Steps to Manifesting the Future of Your Dreams by DL Zeta

What's Love Got To Do With It?

"The core universal energies are encoded to love, joy, peace, and happiness. They support any activities immersed in these energies. So ANY project in which you are happily humming along because you absolutely love what you’re doing, will be successful for you. Conversely, any project which is done purely for money (without a love of the activity) will not last, and nor will the money which is gained from the loveless project. Therefore, immediately cease all activities which are engaged in purely for money. Either leave the situation, or bring some love into the activities. This is a necessity."

Tips For The Gardener

"Be careful what you water your dreams with.

Water them with worry and fear and you will produce weeds that choke the life from your dream.

Water them with optimism and solutions and you will cultivate success.

Always be on the lookout for ways to turn a problem into an opportunity for success.

Always be on the lookout for ways to nurture your dream."

~ Lao Tzu

What's All This About 2012?

"There is a concept that is being widely accepted among those in your grouping of shared belief system that says that the year 2012 is going to be a momentous year, and you should get your ducks in order right now while you still have time before 2012 gets here.

"And you have been wondering, "What more can I do? How can I get my ducks in order when I don't even know where my ducks are? Or how many I might have?" So you do a lot of the mental gymnastics about the year 2012.

"Now, there is a thread of truth that runs through this prophecy, because the year 2012 is going to be an advantageous year, but it is not going to be the end of everything. It is going to be part of the process that you are already in, and there will be an extended time from the year 2012 for what you call another five decades after that of a "knowing" that is being already built: the remembrance of your own divinity, of your own power, of where you have come from and why you have come.

"It has all been in process, and the year 2012 is going to be an advantageous year, because many who are in this grouping of belief system are going to be expecting it, and that which you expect has power, power to manifest.

"It is not going to be cataclysmic to the point where it is going to be the end of our holy Mother Earth. It is not going to be the end of this reality. It is going to be an evolutionary process that goes forward and will extend for a good period of time as it grows and evolves upon itself.

"You have already set the building blocks in place, and you are going to keep on building. What you will see is a growing awareness within yourself, because you have prayed for this, you have asked for this, you have been preparing for this. There is going to be a growing awareness with the friends and co-workers, and ones who will not even use the same terminology that you use, of their purpose. Many have wondered and are wondering why they are here. They also wonder why they struggle. They wonder, "Am I just here for a short period of time, and is that all there is? Is there just one lifetime?" as is so often put forward in your religious/philosophical threads of thinking: that there is just one lifetime and that there cannot be the reincarnation, the remaking of realities.

"So they are questioning, "How do I make the most of this one lifetime?" To introduce to them an idea that perhaps life is ongoing is a bit of an evolutionary leap for them, and yet they are asking to know this. And you are coming into your own power of remembering that you have been here many, many times and that you have choice always whether to return to this reality or any other reality on holy Mother Earth or to go to another constellation or galaxy to adventure in other forms and other ways.

"As you remember that you have choice, you begin to feel in the heart the expansion of divinity that is you. After the time period that you call 2012, there is going to be yet a progression of challenges for humankind, but there is also going to be a progression of understanding that the challenges are not so much negative as they are gifts.

"It will be a process which will build exponentially upon itself, very much the same as the seed that opens up and comes up through the ground, and then the plant reaches out and will extend a leaf and then another leaf and then another leaf and then a flower and then the fruit.

"You are going to be part of it, because you are adding your energy to it. You are going to understand what is going on at a very deep level, and at the same time you are going to be taking part in what seems to be the world level but from a different perspective.

"You have this human lifetime so that you could be part of an awakening. There is a cycle, an evolutionary cycle from a place that remembers its divinity, knows that it is creating, into the place where it identifies with whatever is being created and identifies with that creation to the place where it is forgotten, temporarily, who is doing the creating, and then there is the process where you are now: of awakening to realizing, "I am the one who is creating," and then the realization that, "If I am creating, I can change whatever I see happening."

"And how do you change that? You change it by changing your perception. You have the power at any moment to change your perception of what is going on. No one else can change your perception except you. You have great power, because you can change it. No one can take that from you. You are the one who holds the power of perception and of belief, and that is why, when you come to the year of 2012, there is going to be a gathering, a celebration if you will, that you are already planning at a deep level.

"The year 2012 is going to be an advantageous year, but it is not going to be the ending of everything. It is going to be part of the ongoing process of the evolution of awakening. The cycle itself is going to extend past that date.

"Every concept that is given to you, every prophecy, every message carries a thread of truth with it. It depends on how you perceive that truth. And I am saying to you, why would you not want to perceive it as good? You have done the suffering already. You have been there, done that. I have been there, done a bit of it, finished with it, completed - as you can be and as you are: complete.

"Dream big dreams. Go for it. Allow the dream in the heart to be big, and then allow the mind to figure out how to do it in the world. Do not worry about all of the small details. The mind is going to take care of that. The mind is going to chew on all of the details like a dog chews on a bone.

"The mind will be very busy as it comes up with the suggestions as to how to do the big dream of the heart.

"Take a moment now. Take a deep breath, and ask yourself, "What is my dream? If I could have, if I could do, if I could be anything that I want to be or do or have, what would it be? What would I do? Who would I be? How would I be? What is my dream?"

"Allow that feeling to stay with you. This evening when you put the head upon the pillow go back to that feeling of, "What do I want in my life? How do I want it to be? How do I want to be in my life? What is my greatest desire?" Then live from that space as if it could be true, because it can.

"You are the one who can make it happen."

The "Gift" Of Cancer

The following excerpt contains some interesting points to ponder regarding one person's experience with cancer and challenges us to view the idea of cancer from a higher perspective:

---

“What Is My Cancer Telling Me?”

"When you are feeling Stigmatized, you really believe that you are worthy of reproach, rejection, and isolation by others. You want to be loved, but you believe that there is something wrong with you, or that you have done something that merits this treatment from others.

"But when you are feeling Indignant, you become angry about it. You become stubborn and demanding because others have not loved you in the way that you expected.

"When you are Indignant, you demand the attention of others. You expect attention as tribute for the suffering and isolation that you have had to endure during your life. It’s not that you are feeling particularly loving or affectionate toward others. Instead, you are seeking retribution. It’s a way to punish them (and the world) for not loving you, in the way that you would have liked when you were younger.

"Your cancer is a way for your ego to play the roles of Stigmatized and Indignant at the same time. Here is how it works…

"By using this cancer to feel defective and marginalized by others (a feeling that you have often had), you now have the perfect reason to accept this condition as your reality. Your ego has gone beyond rationalizing its misbeliefs about your identity, and has given you the “gift of cancer” as a way to demonstrate and finally prove to you that you ARE in fact, Stigmatized.

"Your ego has also given you the “gift of cancer” as a way to get the attention and sympathy from others that you have always wanted to feel – and that Indignant demands from the world for having been ignored so long. “How can they neglect you now, when the cause of your misery is so apparent?” This is what your ego is telling you now, when it plays the role of Indignant.

"Your ego is trying to satisfy both of these erroneous beliefs about yourself at the same time. But it is a game.

"Your cancer is a symbol to yourself, and to the world, that you feel stigmatized, but that you also deserve love and attention because of it. It is the perfect way to get it… or is it? Will people finally love and support you because of your illness, or will they further shun you because of the fear they have around the stigma of your cancer?

"And if they get too close to you with their love and support, or by telling you how you ought to deal with this challenging situation, will you push them away indignantly as punishment for your past grievances? Or will you let them be there for you, just as they are?

"This insane solution that your ego has found – to let you believe that you are Stigmatized, Indignant, and loved, all at the same time – may actually be backfiring now. Isn’t it time to expose this game for what it is; drop it, and move on?

"Why not focus, instead, on the Truth? “You are a Child of God, and God also. This IS the Truth About You.” Believe this, and watch your life change."

"My dear, the life that your Creator has envisioned for you is a different one. You are meant to live a life of joy, happiness, and bliss. Even now, the mention of it may seem unreal to you.

"Yes, you are meant to live a life that is free from pain, fear, and suffering.

"Now, how do you claim that life? How do you claim the life that your Creator had in mind for you when you came to Earth?

"Well, dear friend. It is quite simple. And yet, you believe it requires too much from you. Yes, you still believe the voice of the ego that constantly rationalizes your circumstances to you. You believe it, when it tells you that too much is required of you. That you have to look at yourself and figure out too many complicated things.

"But the truth is that nothing is required of you. Nothing, other than letting go.

"So, it all comes down to who is making the decisions here. Who is taking charge of your life? Are you going to let your ego sacrifice your body and your life for the sake of conflicting beliefs about who you are? Or are you going to take charge here? Are you going to take charge of your Inner Life and purge all that is false about you, so that only the Truth remains? Are you willing to let the falseness go, in order to live with the Truth?

"Yes, you can truly let go of the pain, fear, and suffering that your ego has used to keep you imprisoned with false identities for so long.

"But how do you do that?

"First, you should understand that you are destined for a life of joy. It is God's Will for you. Even for you! Yes.

"Then, you are invited to look at the role-playing game that your ego has created for you. Look at these roles. Name them. Expose them. And anytime feeling Indignant or Stigmatized appears to be your only choice... choose again. Reach even deeper, and find out what is there beyond this belief in suffering. When you do, you will find that peace is there. And you will find an ocean of love. Yes, an ocean of great, all encompassing love. This is God's Love. It is God's Love for you, too.

"It is there for you to touch, to feel, and to invite back into your life. Accept it, dear friend. And then, make it happen. Bring that Love into your life, and make it your daily companion. Let it be your guide in life. You deserve it. You deserve it deeply.

"Feel the waves of God’s Love washing over you now, cleansing this cancer from your body and correcting the lies and misperceptions about you that have poisoned your mind.

"Know that as you heal your mind, you will take an important step in treating the physical condition of your cancer. It is not the only step that you will take. But it is essential. It will put you back in charge of your Inner Life. And from this place of Inner Truth, your physical health will have the greatest potential for improvement.

"You are deeply loved, my dearest.

Say "Yes" To Life

"You are here on earth to express the freedom and magic of the spiritual realms you come from. You are here to bring it into form and matter and make it available for experience to both yourself and others. Yes, you are carriers of light, where light stands for freedom, ease and joy. And you have been on earth before, with the same desire and impetus to kindle the light of creation here and spread joy and insight. Allow yourself to feel it again. Know who you are. You need not be or do anything special here, you don’t have to achieve anything except to remember who you are and allow joy to fill you again. That is your job: to get back to your original state of wonder and joy amidst energies which seem to point in a wholly different direction.

"You have been put under pressure. The reality of earth, the way people think, the beliefs of society can weigh heavily on you and soak you in forgetfulness for a while. Remember, you are divinity in the flesh. Light is pouring through you right now, through your hands, through your eyes, feel it. It has never left you, but all of you have been told at some point of your life that this light cannot flow freely into the open. You believe you have to hide it and keep it inside, for fear of being “different”. The constraint to be normal, getting locked into what other people might think of you, that’s probably the worst prison on earth. It’s not being in the body that limits you so. The true limitation comes from allowing in the many heavy, fearful beliefs of society and have them diminish your divine radiance.

"My wish is to show you a way out of there, and the key is: dare to receive joy again in your life, feel that it is your birthright! It is simply who you are. You are the joy of God made manifest. And to be so, you need not have achieved anything, in the worldly sense of the word. You only need to be one with who you are. You need to feel that you are fine as you are here and now. There is nothing you fall short of, there is nothing lacking. Embrace the totality of who you are now, your fears, emotional blockages, and yet, at the same time, the deep sense of wonder and vitality at the bottom of your being. Life itself flows through you and wishes to impart on you its many miraculous gifts. You have undertaken the journey of incarnation in this body, in this society, in this material dimension. That is enough. By that, you already have shown your great courage and faith. Now trust that you are allowed to receive everything you need in your life. Feel the pure joy of being in this moment. Let yourself relax into it.

"Imagine that from now on, there is nothing you “must do” in your life. If you would really grant yourself that freedom, your life would consistently flow smooth and easy. I understand that this runs counter to much that you have been told by your parents, teachers, employers, etcetera. Society imparts on you that you have to work hard and diligently to develop the necessary skills and abilities to cope with reality. It tells you to keep small and focus on what is possible rather than on what you dream and hope for. Not only society tells you this, even a lot of spiritual teachings have a rather stern and disciplinary outlook on how to achieve enlightenment.

"Imagine that you release the very idea of goals and achievements. Imagine saying to yourself: I am as I am, and I am completely okay as I am. What liberation! If you can allow yourself to be this relaxed, things will start to flow in your life, and you will see that exactly the opposite happens from what society tells you to expect. Things will start to happen for you without having to work hard for it. If you can be at one with yourself and accept things as they are, you will invite a flow of peace which will bring miracles into your life. By accepting yourself as you are, you say “yes” to life, to being here on earth, and you allow yourself to receive anything you want simply because you are who you are, an indelible part of God, cherished and loved unconditionally."

No More Secrets

"There are huge advancements taking place in the collective vibration. Recently, you reflected your hope in a person who was elected to a very important position. Now you are starting to take your own power back and that is very appropriate. It is no longer appropriate to give your hope to anyone, because that is exactly what humans did with Adolf Hitler. That is exactly what humans have done over and over, and over again. What you are seeing is that all of humanity was becoming excited about the new possibilities. Now after moving two steps forward, you are taking an entire step back. There is confusion, anger, frustration and a lot of negative energies coming up. Although a lot is taking place it is simply a venting process, because much of what you have set into motion is well underway and moving in the direction you are going.

"Please do not get discouraged when you look at all the evidence to the contrary. When everything appears to be the opposite and seems to be getting worse rather than better, it is because there will be no more secrets on planet Earth. This is happening already. It is happening in Iran, in the United States, and it is happening all over this planet. Those are the things to celebrate, because never again will humans follow the leader in the way you have always done before."

Let It Be

"There is a natural rhythm to all things, and it does not necessarily have the pace that you think is desirable. The realization of your goals requires energy to be shifted. Energy shifts often take more time than you expect or wish for. In fact, energy shifts are nothing else but you changing.

"When you will have reached your goals, you will not be you anymore. You will have become an expanded version of your current self, filled with more wisdom, more love and more inner power. The time it takes to fulfill your goals is the time it takes to change your consciousness in such a way that your desired reality may enter your actual reality. So if you want to speed up things, focus on you and not so much on reality.

"Often you even need to let go of your goal, in order to be open to receive. This sounds paradoxical. But in fact we are saying only that you need to fully accept your current reality, before you can step forward into a new one. If you do not accept your current reality and you are holding onto your goals in a tense way, you are not moving forward.

"Nothing will leave your reality, unless you love it. Loving it is equal to “setting it free.”

"Unless you truly embrace your current reality and accept it as your creation, it cannot leave you, for you are denying part of yourself. You are saying “no” to the part of you that has created this reality for you. You would like to cut this unwanted part from you and move forward.

"But you cannot create a more loving reality from self-hate. You cannot “will yourself" into a new reality by pushing unwanted parts aside. Will power does not serve you here.

"What you need is to get in touch with your heart. The energies of understanding and acceptance are the true building blocks of a new and more fulfilling reality.

"When you interact with reality from the heart, you let reality be. You do not try to change it; you simply and carefully take note of what is."

Where Love Is Not, Love Can Be Found

"In ways that are very hard to express in human concepts, fear is a blessing as well as a torture. In any case, the choice to allow fear in your reality was not made for you. You were the Gods, so to speak, who allowed fear to play a constitutive role in your reality. You did so not to torture yourselves but to create, to create a reality that has more substance, more “fullness” to it than a world solely based on love. I realize this may sound unbelievable, but perhaps you can intuitively grasp what I am trying to say here.

"Fear is a viable part of creation. Where fear is, love is not. Where love is not, love can be found in new and unpredictable ways. A whole range of emotions can be explored, even created by the absence of love. The absence of love can be felt in a variety of ways. The presence of love can only be felt against the background of fear. Otherwise it would be all pervading and you would not notice it as such.

"So by creating fear, by catapulting yourself outside of the ocean of love that surrounded you, you allowed yourself to experience love for the first time.

"Do you understand?

"You did not create love, but you created the experience of love. You needed an opposite, something other than love, to do this and you used fear as an instrument. We on the other side of the veil can clearly see the spiritual role that fear plays in your reality. Therefore we plead with you, again and again, to not judge. Please do not judge fear and the darkness it brings, either in yourselves or in any other being. You are all created from love and to love you shall return."

What Is Christ Consciousness?

"Living from the reality of Christ consciousness means that there is no struggle with anything. There is a complete acceptance of reality. This absence of struggle or resistance is its main characteristic. Since Christ (or the Christ energy) recognizes the extremes of all thoughts, feelings and actions as the manifestation of the one divine energy, there can be no duality, no judgment in the way ‘he’ (the christed energy) experiences reality.

"Let’s give an example here. When the Christ in you watches an armed conflict between people, her heart weeps for the fate of the beaten one, but she does not judge. She feels the pain and humiliation with each blow, and her heart is filled with compassion, but she does not judge. She watches the offender, the one with the gun, who has power, who inflicts pain, and she feels……..the hatred and bitterness inside of him, and her heart grieves, but she does not judge. The heart of Christ embraces the whole spectacle with deeply felt compassion, but without judgment, for she recognizes all aspects as experiences she has gone through herself. She herself has lived out all of these roles, of offender and victim, of master and slave, and she has come to the understanding that she is neither of them, but that which underlies both.

"The Christ energy has passed through all the energies of duality. It identified itself now with the dark, then with the light, but through it all, something remained the same. And when she realized this “sameness” underlying all her experiences, her consciousness obtained a new kind of unity: it was “christed”."

Don't Toss That Canvas, Leonardo!

"The creation/dis-creation cycle is similar to watching a talented artist create a beautiful canvas. Then, right before the finishing strokes, the artist dissolves into self-criticism and decides the work is inadequate, destroying the canvas and tossing it into the trash. The artist begins another canvas, impulsed to paint another picture based on an overwhelming, sometimes incomprehensible, desire to create...the same creation energy that drives you to your manifestations. Again, at the last moment, the painting is rejected. The artist's work never comes to completion because the artist dissolves into self-judgment. At the very least, if the artist would roll up the canvas and place it in storage for later assessment, it would hold the energy of the creation and its potential for future possibilities. Instead, the artist begins anew, impulsed toward another creation that, once again, he or she destroys moments before its completion in a fit of self-judgment. Fortunately, the artist's urge to create never abates since it is a fundamental force that defines existence. Unfortunately, the artist lives in a frustrated state of unfulfilled expectation because no creation is ever brought to fruition. Some artists continuously repeat this cycle and live in a perpetual state of yearning, some develop addictions to numb their frustration, and some are able to move beyond their negative feelings and create masterpieces. Where are you?

"When you enter a mode of dis-creation based on unfulfilled manifestations, you must immediately stop your negative mind babble, re-directing your thoughts to what you do rather than what you do not desire. You must recognize that your manifestations are in the mode of creation in the non-physical realm even if you have no immediate evidence in the physical realm. You must honor the timing cycle you have entered because it is always in your highest good. You came here to create, not to dis-create. However, the time frame you desire is not necessarily most beneficial to your situation. You may be manifesting a situation that is premature, causing you either difficulty or disappointment if it were to come to fruition based on your agenda. Although it is frustrating to generate manifestation energy without immediate results, it would be imprudent to create a situation in advance of its ideal timing cycle. Your higher self knows this and your guides know this. Trust that you are operating in perfection at all times."

Doing The Dance Of Non-Resistance

"The hardest thing for all of you to understand is that you are creating ALL of your experiences. Your words, energy, actions, and expectations of negative outcomes are mostly the culprit to your frustration. When you become truly aware of this, you can look back upon your recent past, and ask yourself, "what did I say or do last week, that brought this problem about?" You may not remember, but if you do, you often create more negative emotion by getting angry with yourself for creating the undesirable situation.

"Let this anger be the last stage to your dance of resistance. Realize that by resisting the flow of events in your life, you are only complicating, and prolonging your discomfort. However, the act of non-resistance is not passivity. Recognizing the situation with acceptance, and taking responsibility for creating it takes much courage and strength. It is often easier for you to blame others, or to ask for sympathy. These are the other extremes to the act of non-resistance. You blame the other that is causing your discomfort. You push against them, resisting the other Being that is simply reacting to your own fears, words, and actions. They do not go away. The act of asking for sympathy prolongs your difficulty as well, because you are still refusing to take responsibility for creating your undesired circumstance. Words of sympathy temporarily comfort your wounded spirit, but you do not heal. Your pain increases until you are able to stop the dance of resistance. Once you stop this dance, and begin to disengage your negative emotions from the situation, the problem begins to softly drift away.

"This is the way all of the problems of the world cease. Those who realize that they create their own problems can begin to distract themselves with something else, or discontinue resisting, and the problem will naturally go away. The following week or month, you often forget the problems of the recent past all together. If you are not understanding this process, you may find yourself in another dance of resistance, continuing one dance after another. But let your heart and mind join in this understanding, that all that you resist and push away will only come with stronger force. That those things which you want to eliminate will go away by the act of non-resistance. These are our suggestions:

"Recognition - Recognize that the negative emotion that you are experiencing is yours alone, and yours alone to deal with completely.

"Realization - Realize that you had the negative energy within yourself that caused the mirroring within your experience.

"Responsibility - Take responsibility for the words, feelings, actions that brought the undesired situation into your life (even if you can not remember what you have done).

"Release - Release others from the confines of responsibility for what you are experiencing. Release all blame and compulsion to extract sympathy from others.

"Understanding - Understand that you are experiencing the natural occurrences for your highest soul’s growth, that everything is in divine order.

"Acceptance - Accept the events that are occurring in your life as temporary, that everything changes, moves and retreats.

"Accelerate - Move ahead swiftly from your present situation. Do not stay frozen behind the red light of your own fear. Let go and move on to your next experience.

"Create - Visualize the situations that you are wanting in your life. Think positive thoughts, speak positive words, feel positive emotion moving back into your life, and expect your desires to come forth naturally into your experience.

"This is the dance of non-resistance. Beautifully take notice of all of the events in your life as natural, flowing experiences that shape your Being. Begin to notice the wonderful things in your environment, the loving souls in your life, the positive experiences that you are having. Realize that your life is what you make it. It can be quite wondrous, if you only stop resisting the natural process of life."

Get Behind Me, Ego!

"An effective understanding of ego's value is evidenced in the New Testament story of Jesus being confronted by Satan in the wilderness. Satan symbolizes the limiting factor of personality which is accustomed to taking control through manipulation. Jesus, standing for our Christ Self which is ready to be birthed in our everyday awareness, commands, "Get behind me, Satan!" (Mark 8:33) In other words, take your rightful place in the scheme of things, support what I'm about, get behind all that I'm about. Take your lead, your direction from the Christ Power expressing through me. There's no judgment, no criticism, no condemning to eternal hellfire and damnation. Instead, ego is welcomed. Join in. Get involved in this good thing.

"We soon find that as ego is included and loved it absorbs the refined energies. It is better able to fulfill its role of housing Infinite Awareness in our physical body. It is the role, established by the Creator, when the adventure into the illusion of separate awareness was first conceived."

You Are Always The Source Of Your Experience

"Your feeling states and your "vibrational frequency" determine your level of abundance - not others and not circumstances in the world. Those who believe the economy is responsible for challenges they are experiencing with prosperity are perceiving "in reverse," so to speak. Every experience can be transformed when we shine the bright light of our higher knowing on it. The ability to transform a challenge into an opportunity directly corresponds to one’s willingness to accept complete responsibility for every aspect of their reality.

"You are always the source and cause of your experience of reality. What you manifest directly correlates with the essence of your energy. Your feeling states are barometers for your thoughts, beliefs and spiritual understandings. If you hold negative feelings toward anyone or anything, this pulls down your feeling state and your energetic resonance.

"When we manifest from low-vibrational energies, we experience roadblocks, disappointments, illness, accidents, and overall feelings of being out of sync with the universe. These experiences are not a "punishment", but wakeup calls to examine the beliefs, intentions, motivations, visions, and identities we currently hold."

-DL Zeta, from the Celestial Vision website.

On The Subject Of Money...

"Most people make no effort in coming into personal alignment with the subject of money. Instead, they spend years, even lifetimes, pointing out perceived injustices, attempting to define the rightness or wrongness of the subject, and even trying to put laws in place to orchestrate the flow of money in the civilization, when a rather small effort - in comparison with the impossible attempt at controlling these outside circumstances - would yield them an enormous return.

"Nothing is more important than that you feel good, for when you feel good, you are in harmony with your greater intent. Many believe that hard work and struggle are not only requirements to achieve success, but that working hard and struggling long is a more honorable way of living. Those hard times of struggle certainly do help you in the defining of what you desire, but until you release the feeling of struggle, what you desire cannot come into your experience.

"Often people feel as if they need to prove their worthiness, and that once that is accomplished, than and only then will rewards be given - but we want you to know that you are already worthy, and that proving yourselves worthy is not only not possible, but unnecessary. What is necessary for you to receive the rewards or benefits that you seek is alignment with the essence of those benefits. You have to first bring yourself into vibrational alignment with the experiences you wish to have."

Finding The True Source Of Joy

"We understand how easy it is for humans to become attached to the things of your physical world -- the people, the relationships, the possessions, etc.

"There is absolutely nothing wrong with enjoying these things, with taking pleasure in them. But it's far too easy to cross over that line between enjoyment and attachment. This creates huge problems for so many of you. And it often throws you into "an emotional downward spiral."

"We certainly do not advocate you remove yourselves from the world around you. Nor do we want to see you abandon that world, as some of you try to do in your own particular ways.

"There is no need to abandon your physical life and all the people and experiences it holds for you. In fact, you cannot abandon physical life -- it's not an option. Unless, of course, you choose to leave your physical bodies.

"Friends, life on Planet Earth was intended by your higher selves to be a joyful experience. Certainly not without its challenges and opportunities for growth.

"But you, as your higher selves, knew there would be those challenges and opportunities -- that's one of the reasons you chose to reincarnate to begin with.

"Life is a big game you've chosen to play. It's supposed to be fun. That's what games are all about -- fun!

"When you remember that -- when you remember who you are -- then life becomes easy and almost effortless.

"Where you often go astray is when you take life so seriously. You just drag your bodies out of bed in the morning, dreading yet another day of joyless living.

"It does not have to be that way. You were never meant to be so attached to this life that it drags you down.

"If you will take the time to reflect on your attachments (which are always unhealthy), you will start to see them clearly. You will realize they are robbing you of your birthright -- joy.

"Joy is what it's all about. When you can find your joy within yourselves in every present moment, and know you are your only true source of joy, you will then feel such an incredible sense of relief and release. You will be free again.

"Free to enjoy your lives, your relationships, your possessions. Free to enjoy them fully and passionately. But without depending on them for your happiness.

"Even if you lost them all, you know your true and only source of happiness is within you.

"Attachment to the world around you drags you from your happiness, your joy.

"When you seek happiness within you will empower yourselves to create and live the most joyous, abundant lives you have ever known."

What Is Enlightenment?

"Think of it this way - those of you who are struggling trying to become enlightened - if you are doing it to escape this plane of reality we promise you there is no escape.

"And if you think that somebody is going to come and save you they are not. There are no magic pills or potions. There are no magic rituals and rites. There are no magic disciplines or methodologies; none. That which you term enlightenment or ascension or whatever other funny name that you have for it, is indeed the natural result of loving every facet of you absolutely and unconditionally."

Transforming Scarcity into Abundance and Prosperity

"Since financial challenges have been in the forefront recently, this makes the perfect testing ground for learning to wield your magic wand to transform scarcity into abundance.

"The first point of transformation is to understand you're not really transforming reality or "what is," but yourself. The identity you hold determines your field of possibilities and the realities you activate into your life. If you're not sure whether your identity is one of scarcity or abundance, become a detective in your own life, observing and making notes on things you habitually say, do and feel around the issue of money. If you find yourself constantly saying you can't afford things or that you’re "broke," or "poor," this is an indicator you have some degree of scarcity consciousness. Beliefs about scarcity often are passed from one's family and are therefore deeply ingrained. However, it is possible to transform a“scarcity identity” to one of abundance and prosperity."

Adopting an Identity of Abundance and Prosperity

"The quickest way to create future realities based on abundance and prosperity is to adopt the identity of the version of yourself who is abundant and prosperous and to begin living your life from the perspective of this new identity. Adopting an identity of abundance and prosperity is a matter of shifting your perspective to see the world through the eyes of “one who is abundant.”"

A Short Course on Creating Identity Shifts

"Here is a short course on creating identity shifts:

"To create an identity shift, first set the intention to make the shift. This creates an energetic field that begins to attract energy, information, ideas, people and resources to bring your intention into physical reality. Open to allow your intention to manifest. Manifestation occurs when intention and allowing go hand-in-hand.

"In order to fine tune your new identity, you may want to spend some time observing those who hold identities of abundance. Also observe those who hold identities of scarcity. Observe the differences between the two.

"You may also find it helpful to brainstorm all the images and ideas you associate with abundance and prosperity. In a journal, list the qualities and characteristics you associate with abundance and prosperity. Look for photographs and symbols that represent abundance to you and place these around your home so they are always in front of you. This helps reaffirm and re-energize your intentions daily.

"If your brainstorming session yields images of things that make you feel abundant, make time for these. Something as simple as making time in your day for a walk in the park can boost your energy and enthusiasm for life, which subsequently magnetizes greater abundance. (emphasis added)

"As you move further into an identity shift, you will receive images of your new self in dreams. You can also ask your spiritual guidance to bring you conscious images and close-ups of any areas of your new identity that remain unclear. Your guidance will also bring your attention to any barriers, unresolved situations, or old beliefs that stand in the way of adopting your new identity. Release any thoughts of who you have been, who you no longer wish to be, and simply step into the identity of who you are now -- who you choose to be.

"By strongly identifying with the self who is experiencing your chosen probable reality, you make it your present-moment reality. When you bring your complete focus to your new reality, you move toward who you now choose to be, which naturally creates distance from any past realities. This carries you into a fuller experience of realities aligned with your new identity."

The Mind UNDERSTANDS, The Heart KNOWS

"So the mind is where all these illusions of separation are. The mind is where you hold all the complex constructs that allow you to play the games you are playing. The mind is the place of all these understandings and complexities. The mind analyses and engages in reductive reasoning.

"The mind UNDERSTANDS.

"However...

"The heart KNOWS.

"Your heart is your path through all illusions. Your heart is connected directly to The One and to the greatest truth of all which is The Oneness of All. If you stop all the babble of your mind. If you silence all the noise in your being. If you learn to just SHUT UP long enough to hear what your heart has to say then you will hear it crying out in longing for ONENESS. For the infinite, overwhelming, blissful love of The One.

"Your heart knows and has never forgotten this greatest truth.

"Can you feel it?

"Can you go to your heart and know this to be true?"

I'll See You On The Dark Side Of The Moon

"The lunar eclipse in early July set the stage for this week's solar eclipse. In addition to opening and clearing the heart center, this week's eclipse will accelerate manifestations. Depending on where one's thoughts, feelings and intentions are focused, manifestations can bring about peak states or new depths of despair. This is the moment to raise your vibration and bring your consciousness to the highest frequency you can access.

"Reach for the highest vibration you can access and pay attention to your emotions. These are your best indicator of alignment right now. If your emotions feel negative or "off," examine if there are any areas you need to bring your focus to right now."

Ye Are Gods

"Do not your own Scriptures say that ye are gods? You have that written in your Scriptures even in this day. Ye are gods. You are gods. And when you move from the place of believing that there is a power outside of you that somehow if you pray rightly to it, speak the right words, go to the right church, do the right ritual, this entity outside of you will perhaps intervene and save you, you work through a most wonderful evolutionary phase of thinking."

Closing The Gap

"The spiritual journey is one in which you seek to lessen the differences between your vibration and the vibration of unconditional love. Beyond the “wheres” and “whys” there is love. And truly you do understand what love is. Therefore, seek love. Open yourself to love. Let yourself be loved. And in the end, allow yourself to drop away those things which are not expressing love, not asking for changes but allowing change when it happens.

"My friends, as you go deeper into your natures do not be afraid of what you shall find. All of those artifacts of the human personality are merely the surface flower of that seed which is unconditional love. As you move toward that seed, move fearlessly."

What Works And What Does Not

"The physical arena is a magnificent learning environment. It is a school within which, through experimentation, we come to understand what causes us to expand and what causes us to contract, what causes us to grow and what causes us to shrivel, what nourishes our souls and what depletes them, what works and what does not."

Into The Mystical River

"True spirituality means adhering to the living truth and is not practiced just one or two hours a week as is done in most religious ceremonies. It is an incessant burning desire to be in constant communion with Spirit. Humanity must move past the shallow waters of orthodox worship into the mystical river of life."

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."
