The evolutionary process of humanity is on the brink of conscious awareness.

The human adventure is about to culminate in a dramatic shift that will forever affect human perception and energetically transform  existence.

Just as days evolve into months and then years, an individual’s growth can be marked by the passage of time. The same is true in humanity’s maturation into a new species of spiritual awareness and enlightenment. Just as each stage of a child’s development into adulthood is important and to be honored, appreciated and respected, each stage in its time is to be released in order to move on to the next phase of growth—and spiritual growth mirrors this process.

Humanity is now at such a juncture and is being called upon to relinquish the present moment in order to accept a future reality. Honor this phase of human development for both challenges given and learning gained. Honor the present, let it go and welcome the future that is being offered. This is a time of un-attachment, as referenced in the writings of the Mayans, a time of no time.

Many of you who read these words are facing a level of challenges beyond anything that you have experienced in your life before. They are being brought forward to be released, forgiven and relinquished.

What does not matter, does not matter, and does not exist in matter.

You are being invited and, perhaps, challenged to let go of those things you hold on to so dearly, and not all of them to your benefit. The pledge we make to you is that the challenges you face today hold the promise of tomorrow. Those personal issues when willingly released will be replaced with what you desire.

Take a deep breath, realize what you have experienced, the difficulties and the challenges you have faced, the moments of faith and those of despair. Become aware of the inevitable presence of a new awareness emerging within your being.

As a child matures they think new thoughts, become aware of new ideas, push the limits of  experiences—and the same is true with you as a new spiritual being. Be unafraid of what you are thinking, be open to what you might know, and feel free to push the limits of your new existence.

The key that unlocks the door and allows you to enter into this new reality is an honoring and a relinquishment of the present, and a willingness to accept the future –

for you are on the brink of your destiny.

Release and relinquishment go together:

Release is an outward action; relinquishment is an inner attitude.

How do you know if you have released or relinquished something? If you maintain an emotional investment in what you have let go of, then you have not relinquished it. To truly let go of something, someone or someplace, you must both externally and internally let it go.

Perhaps an example is appropriate: Let us say that you give a friend a sentimental or valuable piece of jewelry, perhaps your mother’s necklace or your father’s watch. And by chance, you are informed that they have pawned it. If you have an emotional response to the action—you have not relinquished the item. You many have released it by physically giving it away, but you still possess it emotionally.

The act of release is much easier than the act of relinquishment.

What often happens is that people release and then, perhaps later, relinquish—but the internal act of relinquishment should be the source of the release. If you release without relinquishment, you actually disempower yourself by giving away that to which you are still attached.

Relinquishment followed by release is an empowering process;
Release followed by relinquishment creates a feeling of powerlessness and vulnerability.

It is not one or the other but both that empower you—either alone is disempowering.

You might question whether you have relinquished but not released. How many of you have closets and storerooms of things that you do not even know you have, or emotional attachment, that you carry like a chain around your ankle every time you move? Own actively that which you have and let go of that which you do not desire.

Take an active inventory of your life and determine that which you desire to keep, that which you have given but have not relinquished, and that which you wish to have no more—and you will experience a new sense of freedom and limitlessness.

Taking active inventory and clearing house allows you to make room for the creative process to maneuver in your life.

All things change in your life and so do the things that you have—be it people, places, or things. The release and relinquishment process allows you to participate in the creative flow of creation; for, the leaf does not hold desperately onto the tree in fear that it will not exist, nor does the snowflake fear the spring—nor should you fear the changes in your life.

The voice of the universe is a song that all sing, known or unknown to themselves. It is detectable yet takes some effort to perceive. Just as there are light frequencies, such as infrared and ultraviolet, that is beyond the optical capabilities of humanity, the same is true for the resonant vibrations of the universe.

To hear the song of All That Is, one must hear not with the ears but with the mind and the soul.

The great Ohm is the voice of All That Is that has never changed, always expresses and is a powerful reminder to all that perceive it of the truth of their origins.

Everyday, without fail, not only does all of creation and even the individual as an expression of physicality resonates the Ohm but also is inundated by it. It is the sea of song in which existence floats. It is the vibratory resonance of the voice of God. It is the single one expression of All That Is that can be comprehended by the mind of humanity.

Obviously, it has value. But what is that value? To immerse oneself in listening to or singing the Ohm cleanses the auric field, soothes the soul, balances the body and frees the mind. It is a healing balm of sound and, by its very nature, energy that reminds and redirects one to the source of their being. It is a healing place to be. It is a cleansing place to be. On subconscious and unconscious levels, you are eternally being enveloped in this resonant sound. But just as you are often spirit unaware, there is tremendous value in encountering and, therefore, experiencing ethereal realities.

How does one comprehend and, therefore, experience audibly the voice of the universe?

Our suggestion is to consciously and physically sing the Ohm. The Ohm, an audible form heard by the physical ear and comprehended by the physical mind, opens up the pathway to experiencing the song, the Ohm, the voice of God.

We assure you if you would but reverently, patiently practice the Ohm, you will open your spiritual ears and your audible senses to the actual song of the universe. As we have stated, its value is immeasurable, and its benefits are beyond numbering. For to hear the voice of the universe is to experience the voice of God. And to experience God is to hear the voice of All That Is.

The singing of the Ohm always brings one into greater harmony and balance, and alignment with their soul’s source and the path of their destiny. The evidence of the Ohm is to God like a fragrance is to a flower. You cannot have one without the other. The Ohm sung or listened to is not only an acknowledgment and a reminder of the oneness of All That Is, it is an invitation to re-invite the conscious awareness of the presence of divinity into your life.

The Ohm is the I AM singing to itself. It is one and the same.

Go into that sacred place that you have chosen for yourself and contemplate and experience through singing or listening the song of the Ohm. It will change your very existence. It will reinvigorate your physical form and it will transform your spiritual being.

As light nurtures the living, the song the universe sings nurtures the soul. The Ohm is the greatest of all hymns and the perfect prayer for it promises that that which you desire already exists. The Ohm is the lullaby of the soul to itself to awaken from its sleeping state into the full expression of your multidimensional beings. Fully expressive, divinity expresses in sound and light and it transforms all that it encounters.

Listen well. Listen carefully. And experience the universe singing to you.

Now that we have established a definition of horizon and have identified a common factor between all references to horizon, what other common aspects do they share. A horizon is also the point between the seen and the unseen. Horizon may be the end or the limit of visual perception, spiritual awareness or the conscious awareness; yet, each hold the promise of something more yet to be seen.

The next curiosity about horizon is that you can never reach it. It is always out there and moves with your change in reference point, be it physical, thought or consciousness. It is much like the old adage of looking for the end of the rainbow.

So with something so elusive and so important, what is the value for humanity in the pursuit of spiritual and conscious awareness?

First, it is a promise that the two shall meet, be it the physical with the heavens, the thought with inspiration or consciousness with God.

Secondly, to find the horizon you must focus on your furthest perception. Think about that, the horizon is at your furthest level of being able to comprehend. It is where the known and the unknown meet. And it is in this spirit that the horizon of your consciousness, the perception of your thoughts and the awareness of your physical perception is not limited. Horizons affirm that which you know and leads to that which is yet to be found. Horizons are an infinite doorway to a universe of possibilities and potentials.

So what is the practical application of the concept of horizon. It promises you that you do not live in a box or are captured in a cave of existence. It is an indicator that there is and always will be that which is beyond your perception and when you arrive at the horizon of your awareness, there is another distant promise waiting for you.

Run to your horizon–excited on what you will find when you arrive only to find that there is yet more to be discovered. Horizons, whether they be physical, intellectual or spiritual, are an expectation to step beyond what you currently know and discover what is to be found.

You would find it enlightening to note that even human activities, such as productivity, expansion of programs and businesses, innovation and growth, mimic this natural pattern. Yes, modern society has been able to modify the effect of the natural cycle of the seasons, fending off the cold, and lighting the night. But still on a deep physiological and energetic level, humanity is still affected by and susceptible to these ebbs and flows of light and temperature. Not that human activities are determined by the seasons but if you live in a physical world, why wouldn’t the tendency to create be affected by this cyclical pattern of physical existence?

Throughout history there have been those who have read the stars and divination, observed nature’s ebbs and flows to predict the outcomes of human behavior and appropriate courses of actions to take. Indeed, some in their enthusiasm and misunderstanding have failed to interpret the signs correctly, often turning this sacred science into magical distortions and creating the illusion of mystery.

The reality is all of creation works in harmony and balance with itself, in assistance to itself.

The birds of the air know when to fly south for the winter or animals to travel to higher elevations in preparation for a tsunami. Why wouldn’t humanity have the same intuitive ability to read and understand the indicators and signs that nature is offering. We are not suggesting to go off and read tea leaves or the stripe on the back of a caterpillar to determine the winter, but we are suggesting that humanity reevaluate and take a new look at how to read the signs being offered.

In your sacred writings, it is stated there is a season for planting, a season for harvesting, a season for being born, a season to die, a season to work and a season to refrain from working.

There is power to be found in the understanding and utilization of the natural cycles of creation to assist humanity in achieving its goals and desires.

This reality is not limiting but rather freeing. The obstinate might demand, “I wish to plant in the winter or harvest after the first frost.” Of course, their endeavors would find failure. We find it curious that humanity is forever seeking to ignore their physicality and accept that they are but a species upon this planet and born from the very earth on which they stand. It is only stubbornness and ignorance that promotes this endeavor.

When you, the consciousness of All That Is, emerged into physical existence, it was to participate fully in the cycles of life and acknowledge all aspects of nature as sacred. Yes, you are the eternal beings, infinite and non-ending. You are the breadth and depth of All That Is; yet, in coming into physical existence, which by the way is your creation, you bless that which you have created by your full participation in the physical experience. There is and there has never been anything created by the mind of All That Is that is not necessary and in balance for creating the most optimal opportunity for that mind to be expressed in creation.

Lest one be in error, the coming of the new age is not an escape from the physical plane of existence, for the rising of consciousness by its very nature must inspire a more intimate relationship with the physical expression of creation. In the coming age, humanity will experience a greater understanding, participation, and harmony with the planet and the universe in which it dwells. The planet is not your prison. It has only become such by the misinterpretation and misrepresentation of the meaning of existence. Indeed, there will be a new heaven and a new earth and it comes about by the intelligent, informed participation of the inhabitants of the universe.

So don’t seek to escape. Do not see spiritual attainment as a removal from the physical plane of existence.

Why would the One Mind of All That Is create something that is not beneficial for its children? The physical plane of existence expands who you are, it mirrors the infiniteness and eternalness of your spiritual beings. The earth is the cradle of your consciousness. You only feel encumbered when you fail to remember that your consciousness is a participant in creation, and your existence supersedes any physical boundaries.

The coming age, humanity’s new season of consciousness, will bring greater comprehension and understanding of your spiritual origins and divine purpose for physical creation as an expression and an expansion of yourself. For the birds of the air will again feed you, and you will walk in harmony and balance with all things.

Paradise had not been lost. It was just that the one seeking it had forgotten how to find it.

All of the countless centuries of human growth, expansion, and discovery have been for the sole purpose of finding where they left paradise—for paradise and physical creation, in all of its majesty, beauty and mystery, is the fingerprint of God upon the conscious mind of creation.

The key is in the motivation. When you are unconditionally loving it is a guarantee that no matter what the seeming affects, it will be in the highest good of all, even if the one you give to misuses the gift. Love, in its purest form, and its handmaiden of appropriate assistance, are never expended in vain. But when motivation is unclear and lacking unconditional love, then indeed all the energy expended may truly be in vain. The illusion is that the reward is in the result, the fulfillment is in the process of unconditionally loving and appropriately assisting.

Spiritual Awareness

You cannot be spiritually aware in isolation, for spiritual awareness only comes in the expansion of the perception of yourself. Spiritual awareness is in direct proportion to the horizon of your reality.

By assisting others on their journey you expand your community – the perception of themselves overlaps into their perception of each other. Community occurs when you can see out of more than your own set of eyes, when you can hear out of more than your own set of ears. That ability, in and of itself, creates the Christ consciousness.

When one truly merges with the consciousness of another individual there can no longer be negative ego. Negative ego lies within the realm of individuality. To merge into the oneness is divine, then the universe does not fight against itself – and it couldn’t.

Conflict arises only when there is a belief that there is something outside of yourself. When you stand at the center of creation at the source of All That Is, there is only you. And you can never be alone.

Mastery is the means by which one experiences the grace and ease along that journey. The evolutionary process of it is like the eternal blooming of the rose, its beauty beyond measure, its fragrance beyond compare, warmed by the sun of enlightenment, watered by the emotions of desire and fed by the fertile ground of consciousness. Mastery is the fruit of consciousness.

The evolutionary process of mastery is a journey well taken, one to be anticipated and desired. The evolutionary process of it is an irresistible force to the willing soul that wishes to follow its path. You need only to step upon the path to mastery and the wind of spirit will be at your back, the stars of guidance will show you the way. The most important step toward mastery is willingness, and once you are willing, the entirety of all that exists is in assistance to you.

The evolution of mastery is the ever-emerging awareness of the consciousness of All That Is in the reality that you exist.

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.

When you are willing to accept and understand this dynamic aspect of your environment and your existence, you will be able to utilize the raw materials that are present to create what you desire, as stated in your holy writings, “There is a time for everything under the sun.”

When you allow yourself to be receptive and open to this pulse of consciousness flowing throughout the universe, you will experience ease and grace in creating that which you desire.

Some religious and theological philosophies call this the will of God. From the human perspective, this cycle can be frustrating especially when you want to create something now, but universally it is not the time. Yet many of you bang your head against the wall of creation in a vain attempt to regulate and manipulate the creative process. Just as you do not plant in the fall, you do not do at night that which needs to be done in the light. That same cycle exists in the creative conscious process of existence. Just as you breathe in and out, the universe, in mini cycles, exhales itself into creation and inhales that which it has created—thus creating the spiral stairs to the consciousness of God.

You are, and all creation is, fluctuating back and forth between the third and fourth dimensions—quantum physics speaks of this—just as in a lifetime there are times when you are awake and times when you are asleep.

It is also true that within your lifetime, you spend an equal amount of time in the third and fourth dimensions. When we speak of awakening, we are speaking of becoming aware of that “sleeping” aspect of yourself that exists simultaneously with your physical expression. We want you to remember your fourth dimensional “dreams.” This resonant vibration is your umbilical cord to consciousness and a necessary component of your physical existence.

The process is to learn to equalize the input of information that your physical consciousness comprehends, to quiet down the physical stimulus and increase the spiritual vibration.

This dynamic is much like looking through the old viewfinders where you are looking at two-dimensional flat pictures and the image takes on a three-dimensional aspect. Existence is holographic and the equalization of these two components of your existence is the viewfinder that assists you to see beyond what you perceive to that which fully exists. You are consciousness in creation co-existing in beingness, each one half of an archway that creates an entrance into a fully conscious creative existence.
