What do these opportunities offer? You do not need to lose your home or your vehicle or your possessions, and even if you did, what would it matter? Look for the opportunities in the midst of challenges; do not allow the common mind, the less than divine, to persuade your thinking and create fear. Hold to your truth; hold to the moment; hold to the belief in what you do. Let nothing shake your peace.

Dear ones, this is your training ground, for if you do not tame “the dragon” of the negative ego, how can you be of assistance to another in pain. You are greater than that which is within you, far more powerful than any and all things manifest in the physical form. We wish for you to be empowered.

Embrace Your Holy Self

Those who feel physical pain, fill that place with healing light.

Those who are suffering from emotional wounds, fill your emptiness with joy and peace.

Those who have relationships to mend or to heal, embrace your holy self.

Those who are experiencing financial difficulty fill that void with acceptance, receivership and worthiness.

Those who are experiencing anger, let the fires of anger be cooled by the tenderness of your compassion.

Those who have judgment, bind it by the light of understanding.

Those who are anxious, let your anxiety be calmed by the breeze of clarity.

Those who feel resistant, fill that resistant spot with intent.

Those who are experiencing fear, allow the power and dominion given you at the beginning of creation to overcome it.

Intrinsically there is nothing wrong with the desire for abundance. Note that we did not say finance or wealth. Abundance is provided in many ways. It comes through all the aspects and energies of physical existence. It permeates the subtlety of your daily living and fills your cups of desire with generous portions of your wishes.

Yet humanity struggles in obtaining that which they already have, all the abundance they need. As a result, greed and avarice are born. The difference between greed and the honest desire for abundance is very subtle. But its consequences are profoundly different.

Abundance is the acknowledgement, the participation and the confidence that there is an eternal flow of everything you need.

Greed is born of the belief that there is a limited amount of abundance available, and because of that fear, flow is limited. The result is that the more you seek to attain, the more you lose. Although while firmly grounded in the concept of abundance, you are unafraid for when you pass to your neighbor that which you have, you are confident that you will receive what you need.

That is the difference between abundance and greed. Abundance is based upon an infinite supply. Greed is based upon a finite supply.

More and more individuals feel victimized which we find curious in a time when victimization has no place. More than ever before there is the information, the insight and the understanding available to take responsibility for your reality.

The creative forces of your psyche are more exposed and available than ever before in human history.

We have spoken to you of the rising of the energy upon this planet. You have read various speculations and accounts of what that transition would look like. We have spoken to you of the countdown. We have discussed with you the spiritual attributes of this shift and the change in consciousness–but what does that mean?

What is occurring as your very physical body is being inundated with a higher vibrational frequency?

You know what happens when someone is inundated with radiation. You are also aware of the effects of the sun on the physical well-being of individuals now that the layers of protection have been diminished. You are being inundated and immersed now in an irresistible vibrational frequency. We say irresistible because the vibration that you experience individually is in resonance with your soul.

It is like striking a tuning fork which then causes another tuning fork to vibrate. When you find that quiet place within, you allow yourself to vibrate in resonance with the ever-increasing energy which is raising this plane of existence into the fourth dimension.

Stillness, focus, meditation and prayer allow you to access that “tuning fork” and allows it to freely vibrate.

What occurs if something is vibrating and those things around it are rigid, solid and unmovable? They will begin to crumble and break. Those areas of your life that are seemingly in chaos or out of balance is where you have made conscious or unconscious choices not to vibrate with this new found energy. When you don’t fight the shift in consciousness which is occurring from this wave of universal energy, the transition will be easy and effortless. It is a tsunami of energy that can seem frightening when not understood. You do not need to be drowned by this force but rather allow yourself to ride the wave of consciousness into another dimension.

Each individual hears the resonant vibration of their soul, and the union of the sound of all souls is the sound of the universe, the Ohm.

Even the great ships of song mirror this truth; for the resonant Ohm of their presence is the communion of all the souls on board. Find, explore, and be diligent in the pursuit of the resonant vibration of your soul, the very place within your consciousness that your being vibrates in ecstasy in the awareness of divinity. All those who have ever experienced a spiritual catharsis, revelation, vision, prophecy or journey to the seventh heaven have found that resonant energy within. It is a place where your thoughts are in perfect alignment with consciousness and all is free to be created.

Trust creates balance.

Balance begets non-resistance.

Non-resistance begets peace.

If one is having difficulty with balance, they need to look at their trust issues.

If one is having difficulty with resistance, or the lack thereof, one needs to look at their issues of balance.

If one is having difficulty with peace, one needs to look at that which they are resisting.

You see, trust is begotten from wisdom. Wisdom to trust, trust to balance, balance to non-resistance, non-resistance to peace.

Wisdom, the knowing, the knowledge is that in the truth of the universe there is nothing that does not propel the one who looks to God. He who trusts upon the “Lord,” a knowing, an awareness happens that no matter what the world places before you, it is and can be transformed and transfigured into perfect, divine will.

Peace is not a passive state. Peace does not come from surrender, but the wisdom to know that all things are to the good for those that trust. If one has difficulty with trust, they should look at wisdom. Wisdom is begotten of love, for love when experienced begets the awareness that there is nothing on heaven or earth that can hinder you from your destiny.

And in that wisdom overflows a trust that all things are in order, and balance results and resistance fades away, and peace, yes, peace fills your heart.

Spiritual attainment, by its very nature, must be free from all outside influences and effects that could hinder one’s spiritual nature.

It is one’s own fear, abdication and powerlessness that feeds the tests and temptations that one must face through the initiation process.

The initiation is when one is stripped from all outward appearances of the ego consciousness. Nothing in their world can save them and even their senses fail. It is in this place of void, stripped naked to the soul, that one must rely completely and totally on their own spiritual identity. It is in this place that one is empowered. You are a light unto your own path. The initiation does not need to be painful or devastating but it will have elements of despair until one reaches out, like Adam in the Sistine Chapel or the phoenix rising from the ashes no longer fearful of the world in which they dwell.

The initiation is a transformative process that allows one to identify, experience and utilize the deepest resources of their own soul.

The initiation process transforms and transfigures the individual through the transmutation of ego consciousness, beliefs, and fears, and one emerges a powerful being. They are no longer dependent upon that which is outside themselves be it beliefs or belongings but rather solely and completely upon the awareness of their divine nature. Therefore, the world in which you dwell becomes a servant and assistant to all that you desire. Nothing can negatively affect your immortal, divine being.

The initiation empowers you to be a participant in the divine plan of awakening humanity by awakening yourself to the truth of who you are.

Once initiated an individual can never return to where they were before. Indelibly implanted in their mind is the power of their own soul. Each one in the human race will face varying degrees of initiation along the path of their lives, each a step upon the spiral stairs to the consciousness of God. Initiation does not need to be painful, but it is always powerful. You have nothing to fear as you raise your mind from the darkness into the light of conscious awareness. Be not afraid for there within you is a power. The initiation is the key that unlocks the door, the flower that shatters the stone of the negative ego consciousness.

Therefore, see each challenge as a blessing.

Consecrate it that it might be transformed into spiritual strength and transmuted into light. The gates of darkness will have been sealed forever, and your soul will emerge transformed and transfigured so that you might never be fearful again.

The planet speaks to you. What does she say?

If you want to know, listen to the birds singing. Listen to the chirps of crickets, the hum of bees, and cacophony of locusts. Listen to the breezes and winds. There is a voice greater than can be spoken in words. Become a participant and adapt to your rightful place on Mother Earth, and the birds of the air will feed you, the winds will become calm, the ground beneath your feet will become firm because you have become one with All That Is upon this planet.

The awakening of the new energy moving in vibrational waves across Mother Earth.

There is no longer the luxury of being the spoiled, belligerent, selfish children of Mother Earth. We say this not to be critical but with the hope that you would take the opportunity that is being offered to you. All is not lost. Ally yourself with those that seek to better the world. Take action in your own life to be a responsible user of planetary resources. You say, “What can we do? We must drive to work. We must heat our homes.” Unbridled greed and woeful mismanagement were not created in a day; nor will these conditions be eradicated in a day.

Respect a greater power–the evolutionary power of this planet.

This earth is evolving. This planet is in the beginning stages of making a powerful shift to its very core, to better prepare, and create an environment for God-conscious living beings.

Listen.

Intent is a powerful force of focus. A defining line. That is how God draws straight with crooked lines.

How you control energy is by intent–and that takes no effort at all.

Intention lightens the load. It is the helium of spirit that lifts burdens from your shoulders.

Intention always succeeds. It is the filter of perception. It is always successful when focused upon. Affirmations exist for the sole purpose of focusing one’s intention. What is your intent for the day? The week? Intention is wise, it always instructs you on the highest course and the greatest good. Intention is always balanced. It is the conduit of wisdom. An often overlooked concept because intention is like the wind, hard to define, because it is the medium, intention is the fiber on which the rest is built. Intention is always present, it is not a past dream or a future hope. Intention sanctifies the moment. It declares all things to be in alignment with your goals.

Intention, attention–the concept of focus. Attention is external. We pay attention to what is going on there. Intention is the internal focus.

Hold that, the truth is really quite easy. You’re learning how to step through the veil. The greatest powers in this plane of existence need no action. There are powers within you that take no energy at all. We want to walk with you to the other side of the veil. We have purposefully chosen the word intention, for that it not commitment, it is a sister of focus. Remember it is all within. You can scramble around in your outside world to bring harmony and balance, only to find the waves of constant change washing your sand castles back into the sea.

Intention is the rock on which your dreams are built.

To be capable of knowing that you know is to be a participant in the consciousness of creation.

Humanity’s birthright is to be that consciousness in physical form—therefore, God walking in its garden. To be aware that you are aware provides you access to the ultimate expression of consciousness, which is the knowledge of your own existence, conscious that you are conscious and declaring, “I Am.”

To affirm that you “know that you know” is a direct connection to the creative force of consciousness, an unobstructed source to what you desire to create. To know that you know is the irrevocable, immutable and invulnerable catalyst of all creation, and within that circle of consciousness the circuit is complete for creation.

To declare that “I Am” is the acknowledgement of your connection to the creative consciousness of the universe.

To declare that “I Am who I Am” (which is what God said to Moses on the mountain) is to harness that creative force and more importantly, define your own existence—which is the ultimate purpose of the creative process.

Nothing, as mentioned, can intrude upon a consciousness that knows that it knows, which is the source for the dominion granted to humanity. It is in that knowing that consciousness becomes creative.

“I Am who I Am” is a proclamation that “you know that you know” you, and within that statement lies the three elements of consciousness: the source, the observer and the creation. There are no more sacred words than “I Am who I Am” and no more powerful than the one who “knows that they know.” When combined in consciousness, they are creation. “I am One who knows that I know,” that is the gift of consciousness and the power of creation given to humanity by the source of All That Is—and its name is Existence.

Existence is the co-creative process of consciousness within the universe.

Existence is the result of a consciousness that “knows that it knows;” thus existence is an expression of God, the creative consciousness. Because of that connection in consciousness, existence is inseparable from its source and an expression of it.

To exist is to be one with God. To be one with God is to exist. It cannot be otherwise. “To know that you know” is to share in that consciousness of creation, or perhaps better stated, you share in the consciousness of God.

The creative aspect of divinity is not simply an attribute but an intrinsic element of the nature of consciousness. Consciousness is always creative, by its very definition. Therefore, existence is not only the result of consciousness but the source of it, thus completing the energetic cycle which is expressed as an awareness that “you know that you know.”

Existence is knowing itself.

Creation is an act of self-awareness, and all that you affirm in your life is a defining of yourself, and in that definition, you define your existence for “you know that you know that you know.”

Superstitions are a curious anomaly of the human psyche. Though in and of themselves they are powerless; the well-anchored beliefs they attract can and do have an effect and consequence on human behavior.

Superstitions are the beliefs held en masse founded in no viable reason.

They can range from individual to cultural superstitions, but the common factor in all superstitions is fear—fear if you do or do not do this or that then this will or will not occur. All humanity is superstitious to some degree and even some religious and spiritual practices are more superstition than theology.

To understand superstition is to accept it as a displaced belief system. It has become powerful because it has a cumulative effect on those who have chosen to participate. The greater the belief system the more likely the believers will create the actualization of the superstition—thus reinforcing the validity of the belief. Though a negative mental process, it is a great illustration of the power of collective consciousness.

Behaviors and attitudes associated with a superstition have no power.
It is the belief in them that carries the creative catalyst.

Superstition can only become effective when people abdicate their power and allow themselves to become vulnerable to outside forces–which is always a choice and never an inevitability.

Therefore, superstitions fade like the phantoms they are when you stand firm in your dominion in your life—and that’s no superstition.

Stars have been from humanity’s first glance into the heavens a source of mystery, inspiration, guidance and hope. Futures are predicted by their movement, ages announced and ships sail the seas relying on their position.

The stars are an expression of the universe and have a hold over the imagination of humanity, inspiring them “to wish upon a star” or “catch a falling star and put it in your pocket and save it for a rainy day.” The heavens are a glimpse of something greater than humanity, yet, some thing they are a part of.

Upon the tablet of the night sky is written omens of disaster, prophecies of saviors and the mythological gods of old imprinted upon the dark blue velvet canvas of the heavens.

A common metaphor for humanity to set goals high is “to reach for the stars.” Perhaps you have used this yourself. Recall a goal you have sought to reach, perhaps a better job, additional education, more money, maybe to write that book or start a business of your own. Each night you figuratively “reach for the stars” your thoughts imagining the fruition of your dreams. You stretch the reach of your grasp by faithfully holding onto your vision that you will reach your star.

Yet, as you are well aware, the apple in the tree cannot always be reached from the ground, but that does not mean it is not accessible. The same analogy fits your reaching for your star. The unreachable is not attained by intent alone but by action; divine dreams are reached by human means. Look for a ladder in your life to pluck the apple from the tree or grasp the star you desire. There is always a ladder in your life to reach your dreams. Its length is created by the actions you take, each dedicated act adding a rung to lengthen its height. To take no action toward your goals can be likened to a hungry person fatigued and faint from jumping and stretching for the red fruit in the high boughs as a ladder leans against its trunk.

So when you “reach for the stars,” understand that your intent is the firm ground upon which you place the ladder of your actions to reach the heaven you desire. So reach for the stars but don’t forget your ladder.
