Dear Angels, Michael’s Light, Higher Self – all the good energies combined that help me in my quiet moments and I guess in my boisterous ones too – I am happy to be here tonight. I was excited about this quiet time. It was one year ago that I started this writing and I’m chagrin that it dwindled but I gained the knowing that you are always with me and that I can speak to you at any time and hear the answers if I will it to happen. This has been an amazing discovery for me and it has helped me in many moments. I feel that I’ve grown but I also see how much more, so much more, that I have to grow to embrace all the ethical values of my spirit, to live them, be them. So – I wanted to take stock tonight, to be quiet and to listen to you and just feel the reverberations of the peaceful, beautiful energy that I feel when I tune in.L, it is nice to see you tonight in the quiet of your home, with the cats, with the pieces of your life that bring you comfort and a sense that at least for these moments all is right in the world. It is always good to quiet the mind and to feel peace because truly we cannot control what is happening in our world on the macro level, but we can control the micro level – we can be at peace in our minds. We do have the power of the mind and that is precisely what the spirit energy of you is all about – the power of the mind. The mind is the master computer; it is the central processing unit; it is the vehicle that connects you to all that is. It is the central element of you; it is the locus of your being; it is the power center. Do you understand? The mind is the greatest tool that anyone can possibly have – even a mind that is “compromised” – even a mind that is disturbed – even a mind that seems to lack much thinking. These minds are no less significant because each one – each mind – tells the story of the soul that lives within that mind. And that soul is YOU, that is, each mind, each soul, each thinking mind and loving emotions is YOU. You are your mind and you ARE your soul and your mind and soul are forever entertwined. They are one.
So you see, it pays to respect, value, and appreciate the mind because within it are all the stories of your colorful and eternal past, present and future. All that you have ever been and ever will be, you are now WITHIN YOUR MIND. There is nothing greater for you than the thinking, loving mind. Treasure it, cherish it, feed it, treat it as the god that it is because for you, it is your connection to the Divine. It IS the Divinity of You as the Genesis of You. The mind is the builder.
Now, let us look at that thought, “The mind is the builder.” This is what the greatest teachers of all time have shared with their students, like Pythagoras, Socrates, Aristotle, Jesus, the Buddha, and the philosophers of more recent times – all have shared that the mind – the THOUGHTS OF MAN – are what create the life of Man.
You see, this thought that you are indeed the master of your own destiny is a thought that eludes many souls because it implies a gift of personal responsibility, and this gift (for TRULY it IS a gift) is not perceived as such by the masses. The masses have placed their “fate” in the hands of an external god – a PERCEIVED external god. But you must know that such an external god who saves and puppeteers is a fallacy. It is a fallacy of monumental proportion. It is a fallacy that is responsible for more damage, more sickness, more sadness, discomfort and ill “fate” than anything else, because when the mind of man denies the power of man, then only the fears of man can dominate. You see, man is afraid of his power and so he relinquishes it to someone else in the hopes that this someone else will be more responsible than he is willing to be.
And of course, there is no such savior. Jesus, in his last incarnation as the son of Joseph and Mary, bespoke these truths in his very being. For it was Jesus who took full and complete responsibility for his life, for his family, for the siblings that Joseph and Mary bore to the family. And Jesus cared for them all after Joseph’s death, and he showed each of them, as he showed mankind, that each of us needs to be responsible. He taught responsibility. We learn by seeing and we learn by doing. And in this way, the brothers and sisters of Jesus did learn to be responsible for their lives and for their souls. And they were a family that appreciated one another for the gifts of love and goodness that Joseph, Jesus and Mary showed to them.
Jesus did say to those who would listen to him, “I am the way, the truth and the light. What I have done, ye all can do.” In these words of supreme truth, Jesus meant for mankind to understand that there are no saviors, and that each of us must be responsible for our own selves. When Jesus departed this world, he left in sadness knowing that his message was not truly understood. But he left joyful, too, to know that he had learned his own lessons of living a physical life while in Divine form. He understood that mankind had a long way to go before joining him in his Divinity.
So for us to begin to shed our fears and begin to embrace the love that is truly us – and to understand that we must be personally responsible for living in this way – this is our challenge at this time. We look at the world and we can see that a tremendous amount of change is needed.
Now you see, Change is the destiny of the soul that lives. The soul is imbued with the gift of change – the imperative of change, the profundity of change. Even small changes are good. To not change is to be in stasis, and to be in stasis is to begin to decay. To decay – well, is this what anyone wants? For countless millennia, eons, uncountable years, you as soul and spirit inhabited the celestial spheres looking at physical life and wanting it with increasing urgency. Your thoughts as thoughtforms brought you into the Earthly existence. You relished this physical experience and yet it has taught you the challenges of being in physical form. But this is what you wanted. And as your Creator gave you free will, you have chosen your “fates,” your daily existences, your lives. THESE LIVES ARE OF YOUR MAKING.
So why do you not respect, value, and appreciate them for the great spiritual gifts that they are? You expire your bodies, you exhaust your minds, you deplete your energy. Are you learning what sustenance truly is? Indeed you are. And so all is not for naught.
But NOW is the time for change. NOW is the time that mankind must extricate himself from the ways of fear because these age-old fears are no longer serving you in your eternal quest for growth and change. Your fears are suffocating you and the Earth.
It is time for change.
How do you go about change? First, you make a commitment to change. You understand that change is the way that we grow and evolve, and that change is in our hands. We are able to change. Never believe that you do not have the power to change or that change is not a good thing. Only a fearful, egotistical mind could dampen the spirit with such a lonely thought. Truly you are connected to all that is, All That Is, and All That Is never stops changing. Therefore, you MUST change.
Next, you must imagine the changes that you want to make. Do you want to let go of your fears? Do you want to love sister Mary or brother David? Do you want to forgive a friend? Do you want to be happy and to awaken each day with the sun, the bright beautiful and replenishing sun in your face, showing you the truth and the light? The sun is a symbol to you of change and life because it gives you life, which is the manner of your change. Through living your earthly life, you are learning about change.
Next, you must share your growth and change with others. Always feel free and open to let others know the happiness that you have experienced in your changes. Your friends and your family will see your changes and this will bring them a sense of hope that they, too, can change. You see, change is an energy of mass consciousness. To tie into that energy is to see the healing power of “group think.” We are never alone. We are like the body of man, made of many molecules, many chemicals, many amoebas, many elements and all come together through the vital chemistry of life! Earth is the master body for man. You are a part of earth and the World Consciousness is within you. Share it freely. Share the power of change.
And then you must come to peace with the idea that life is a gift that has been bestowed upon you. Have humility in knowing that life was not meant to be abused ultimately. War is abuse. Stealing is abuse. Graft, untruth, physical punishment are abuse. Angry words are abusive. When we think fearful thoughts, these are abusive. Why do we abuse ourselves? We abuse ourselves because we don’t know any better. It is what we have seen. It is what we know from this life and countless others that we’ve lived.
But now is the time to reinforce ideas that see and appreciate the truth. We ARE LOVE. We are CHANGE. We are God’s children, that is, we are children of Spirit Consciousness. And now is the time to LIVE that understanding, that truth, and to BE the children of spirit consciousness that we are.
To BE is to KNOW. Do you know that you are connected to every cell of every man, woman and child on Planet Earth? Do you know that you are connected to every animal that walks the face of the planet? Do you know that you are connected to every planet in the solar system, and to every star in the sky, and to every galaxy in every universe, and to every universe in the eternality of the space-time continuum, and to the dual universes that are beyond knowing and ever seeing? Oh the vastness is unfathomable. And yet it IS. The scale of you is also unimaginable. And yet it IS. You are as vast as all that is, All That Is.
Now it is time to shed our fears and to feel our connections to All That Is, and to understand that our faith in ourselves is what saves us – not Jesus, not “God,” not the tooth fairy or Santa or world leaders or Big Oil or even Mom or Dad. Not that any of these cannot help us in perceived times of need. But ultimately we are responsible for our own destiny. We do indeed “pack our own chute.”
Today there was a blue sky. There was air to breathe, a home to come home to, love to share, family and friends to share it with. But what else exists beyond this? Look beyond, see the bright light in the distance that calls to you, listen to what it says, and follow. In that light is your next step, and your next step is your path to change. Choose wisely. Have faith and hope. Feel love, and accept the gift of change.
Good night.
