Dear Angels of my Higher Self: I’ve been reading Storeybook again. I so love to read the stories of our history as humans and to sink myself into remembering that which was, and thinking about my potential and what our potential as humans is. I feel that connection to the Divine when I read about the life of Jesus. But I’ve been wondering about this idea of Jesus as the First Son. What does this mean?

The First Son was the ray of light, the very first ray of light that emanated from the superconscious mind of the Creative Energy of the Creator. When the Creator stirred in his desire for companionship, that first thought, that first action, the first consideration of self that turned outwardly from self was the spirit consciousness that became the thoughtform that became the human energy that you recognize as the entities Amelius, Adam, Hermes and Jesus. There were many, many thousands of other lives that the First Son lived. And indeed, the lives of the First Son were all lives of choice to the entity because choice is how we move from life to life, from energy expression to energy expression.

You see, the entity that you know as Jesus was indeed the First Son. He was closest to the superconscious mind energy of the Creator, such that the Creator could most easily connect with that entity, that thoughtform, that human, that energy essence. The Creator KNEW and KNOWS most intimately the mind of the entity of Adam/Amelius/Hermes/Jesus.
Now, the names are unimportant. It is the work of the entities that distinguishes the lives of the soul and spirit that is the First Son.

The First Son is the embodiment of love, mercy, compassion. The First Son is the truest Characterization of the Creator that exists, outside of the Creator. And yet, the First Son and the Creator are one. There is no separation because the First Son, through the choices that he/she made as thoughtform and indeed as human, were made in the image, in the spirit, of your Creator, and therefore reflect and ARE the Creator. You, too, ARE a SEED of the Creator, living in the Creative Energy that is your birthright and your essence.

The Universe is a vast sea of Creative Energy. There is no “nothingness” in space because all of space, all of the galaxies, all of the universe and universes are made of the energy of the Creative Spirit that is known to some as God. But God is the external concept, and Spirit is the internal concept. You are spirit, and the Universe and all within it is Spirit, which is the creative energy of self.

This is indeed a vastly expansive topic and yet it is good to ponder its meaning. What does it mean to be so connected to the Creative Superconscious energy of goodness, that there is no separation?

Firstly, this means that any actions that are lived, thought, spoken of or dreamed of outside of goodness is madness; it is not right thinking. The NORMAL, base and true character of each of us as humans is goodness and light. To the degree that we do not see this, then we are living in madness. Do we act with love? Do we speak with love? Do we hear love in the words of others and see it in their actions? We can apply the coating of love and goodness over all that is around us, and thusly see and perceive the world in new ways.

You see, the entire universe is a universe of perception. Depending upon where your consciousness is – the focal point of your consciousness – this is what the Universe becomes FOR YOU. This is a subjective universe. Each being, each entity, each thoughtform has the freedom to perceive in any way he or she chooses. There is no mind that perceives anything in ways other than the ways that the mind has chosen.

You see, our mind is truly free to go where it wants to go. Yes, the body can be captive but the mind cannot be held captive because it is truly an infinite organ. Your mind is the exquisite connection that you have with the Creator. When you think, you can think of whatever you want. You can direct your thoughts wherever you desire. Feel the freedom of thought. It is the most amazing and infinite travel you will ever experience. There is no destination in the physical universe that can match the destinations of the mind. The mind – mind energy, thought energy – is truly and literally infinite.

So, to be inseparable from the Creator also means you have the privilege, the honor and the challenge of directing your mind in any way you choose. You may not overcome all mental “obstacles” in one life; indeed, you live infinite physical lives, and each of them is focused on overcoming – understanding – obstacles, or rather challenges. You live to grow beyond the obstacles and you do this by surmounting the challenges.

Your challenge, your greatest challenge at this time, is to make a commitment to yourself to honor the profound teachings that you have been taught, and to use these teachings for the betterment of mankind.

In the life of Jesus, the First Son – the Creative Consciousness – the Christ Consciousness – chose to understand his own divinity by living the human experiences that are part of living life. Losing, loving, hurting physically, making a living, acquiring food, attending to the people we love, helping others, working hard – these are all physical ways that we live our life and thus have experiences that allow us to understand ourselves with keener and keener insight. Insight means having the sight to see within. “When we understand ourselves, we will understand the Universe.”

Now, Jesus lived a life as a mortal because he was trying to show man that responsibility for self would be critical to attaining the consciousness of divinity that is our birthright. There can be no messiah. “God” has not created our preciously-bejeweled world as an infertile ground of living and dying. No. Our Creator has created this world so that we have an expansive venue within which to grow and change, to evolve, to come to understand ourselves and through this understanding begin to see that we are mortal in the flesh but that we are eternal in spirit energy. We ARE spirit energy and as such we never die. We never die in spirit. Only our physical body is lost, but then we take a new physical body and therein is the answer to the mystery of life. The answer to the mystery of life is that life is eternal. There really is no death; there is only passage from one land to the next, one body to the next, one living paradigm to the next. It is all perception.

So – here is your challenge: PERCEIVE your eternality. Know that it is true. KNOW that you are eternal and that you are love and that there is no separation between you and the Creator other than the separation that you perceive there to be. Do you see how this works? Do you understand that the doors of perception are always open, always beckoning the entrance of the keen and probing mind? The mind that probes is the mind that eventually finds its own golden stage, which beams light out into the Universe and thusly expands the Universe. This truly is how the Universe expands: through the expanding consciousness of the minds that inhabit the Universe. Expandingmind is indeed an exciting moniker.

So we have here an opportunity to grow and change and evolve into the being that you truly are in your essence and in your original form. You were created, you are created, by the Creative energy of the Creator. You are a seed of consciousness in the body of the Creator. There is no separation. This is an immensely-powerful concept because it DEFINES you. Do not accept a definition of self that demeans you. How many of us have defined ourselves in ways that make us perceive ourselves as less than we truly are? Many, many have done this in myriad ways. We have debased our creative selves, our superconsious connection, by defining ourselves as less than -- less than you, less than me, less than everyone out there.

BELIEVE in your greatness. It defines you. BELIEVE that you are ALL THAT IS, because you ARE. Believe that you can become whatever you want, because you are already all that you have ever been or ever will be. All that has been created IS, and all that IS has been created. There is no way out of this connection, but there is a way in, and it is through the mind.

So tune into your power, your power of thought. Make your thought a thing of beauty. See light in your mind. See good things. See a waterfall of love and beauty. See the sparkling, shimmering waterfall of consciousness, of power, spewing, gushing, endless, lavish. This is YOU. This is consciousness. This is love. This is the connection between our dual soul and our spirit. Our mind and our loving emotions and our spirit are eternally connected. THIS is consciousness. This is integration.

Now, look ahead and see where you want to be. What do you want to create? Do you want to create the Online School? Do you want to help affect the thoughts of the masses? You have the power. You have the gift. You have the wherewithal. You can do it. See your successes. Imagine your successes. Know that they will come about if you set your mind to this.

Jesus did indeed depart this world with some sadness that he was not able to instill a greater, higher level of consciousness in the minds of men and women – so that they would see their goodness.

You may now help in this task that is always present as a challenge on Earth for those souls who wish to work in service for the betterment of mankind. For these souls, and truly all souls, there is always opportunity.

Make this your promise to yourself, your CONSCIOUS promise. You have already made it your soul commitment. When you entered this life, this was your soul commitment. It was your choice in this life to blaze a new trail, to go in a new direction and to help others along this path of self discovery. This is always, always a worthy trail.

So, see the light ahead and follow it. There will always be leaders and there will always be followers. You may join where you feel most comfortable. But most importantly, let your mind be free. Your mind is truly your salvation, and in a world where there are no saviors, it pays to honor the thinking, feeling, sensing mind. It will never fail you if you honor it for the greatest jewel that it is.

In love, in light, in peace, and in hopes that your world will see the light, today, tomorrow, someday ahead. The light is waiting. It calls. It loves. It leads. Follow, and take with you those who believe. Amen.

Dear Angels: I am in an ethical dilemma. My friend, C, would like me to give her contact information for my brother, D, so that she can ask him for information about the whereabouts of her son, M, who left her family out of anger. I feel in a quandary because I feel that this would be interference in my brother’s life and I feel that it is interference in M’s life, and also I don’t want to feel used and controlled. I feel that this is her issue and not mine. What do I do?

When a friend is in need, the best thing that we can do is honor the friendship to the degree that we can to provide the assistance needed and asked for, and hope and believe that our help will be used to the best advantage of the friend seeking help.

Now, there are indeed times when help–the best help we can provide–is to stay out of someone else’s business because it is indeed interference. This may well be the case in this instance. Let’s examine some of the related issues and see where on the scale of helping you would fall in granting C’s request.

First of all, is C asking for something that you could give her? The answer is yes. It would be no problem to give C the contact information for your brother. Are you hesitant to do this out of fear of contacting D? You must examine this because you, too, are shunning D because you will not provide his contact info to C. You are not sharing and openly communicating with D or with C in this instance. You withhold information that you have because you do not wish to open the door as it were to him. You are comfortable with your little door closed and not revealed, not illuminated.

This is a choice you have made, in fear, because you seek to punish D for his perceived sins of punishing you. What goes around comes around, though, and it may not serve you well to continue D’s form of punishment as your own form of punishment because it is punishment that ultimately only punishes self. You see, all forms of punishment are self abuse. There is nothing that we dish outwardly that we do not first dish inwardly. So it is ideal if you do not succumb to the same behavioral pitfalls that your brother falls to. You can rise above, elevate yourself to the level of love, respect, value, and appreciation, to better adhere to principles that will serve you well.

But I feel that if I communicate with him, this will just give him reason to continue to shun me and treat me in ways that I don’t want to be treated. It feels easier just to let him live his life without me getting involved.

It is fine to let him live his life, but he is your brother and this has been a grand opportunity to understand better–to refine–your ethical values. You can contact him when needed and not fear that the contact will backfire because what you intend in these moments, these instances, is to share openly and with love. There can be no backfiring. You do not need to accept or take on his fears. His are his and yours are yours and you do not need to mix the two.

Now, let us return to the issue with C. In this instance, it would be fine to give C D’s phone numbers. What you must remember is that here you are helping a friend in need and your friend is turning to you for help that she feels will assist her in her quest. Perhaps her quest is misguided–and indeed it may well be misguided–but that is her road and her decision and you do not need to concern yourself with that. It is her business. You do not need to try to control her use of the information, nor judge it.

Indeed, C does seek to interfere in the decision that her son has made. His decision was to leave the family and to not have communication with the family. This is a major lesson for C and she is learning this lesson, but it is a tremendous challenge for her, and for her family, because they do not understand the need or the value in allowing M to have the time to come to his own senses and to perceive himself as a man. So she seeks to treat him as a subservient son who must give in to her wishes.

But this is her lesson to learn with her son, and learn it she will. But for you to help her in the way that she wishes–this will not compromise your ethics. It will be handing her what she seeks so that she may do what she is intent on doing. If she blames you for this, or if M blames you for this, then this, too, will be misguided because you will have only given her what it is she seeks, without questioning her motives, but simply as a gift to allow her to continue on her path.

So do not be afraid to give C the phone numbers.

Now, there is the issue of control in this friendship. Indeed, C at times does not understand that she wields a great deal of oppressive authority when she deals with others. You see, she is trying to control her own fear, but she does not understand fear. She understands, though, that she hurts, and when she hurts, she has a tendency to lash out and to blame others. She does not want to be “wrong” and so she makes others “wrong” in an attempt to make herself “right.”

In this instance of her dealing with you and M, though, she is attempting to communicate with her son and to assure him and herself that a line of communication can be open. It is a good thing that she is trying to do. There is no need to judge her motivation here. She is operating with a clear mind on this and it can produce fruit.

So in this instance, you may provide her with what she seeks, with the knowing that you are helping the friendship and serving as a bridge between her and M.

Now, this may be a difficult issue for you because of your relationship with D, so if anything here, this is an opportunity to once again examine your relationship with D. For a long time you have allowed this relationship to flounder and to exist in the energy of an in between zone – not because of anger but because of confusion. This is understandable and it is very common. We are often immobilized out of a sense of not knowing what is best, rather than a sense of knowing what the issues are and what would serve our best interest.

But it is time to move to the next steps with D. It is time to normalize your relationship. Yes, this can evoke some fear. It can also produce an amazing transformation if you are open to transformation taking place. In many respects, it does not matter who was “right” and “wrong” in the events that transpired. Suffice it to say that all was as it should have been. There were no victims and there were no perpetrators other than the victims and perpetrators that willingly – on a soul level–opted to serve in such capacities and roles. You were living what you desired, subconsciously, to live.

But those days may be over as you move into a new frame of mind about the implications of these relationship quandaries. They no longer need to be quandaries because you wish to see them as opportunities. This is totally within your means to do. In this instance, you may write to David and to ask if he minds you giving his contact information to C.

Oh please don’t ask me to do that. I do not want to speak with him. I don’t like him.

Then you do not like yourself. When we love ourselves, we love everyone else. There is no separation in who we perceive ourselves to be and who we perceive others to be. There is no exception to this rule.

Yikes. Then I don’t want to not love myself.

Then you can show yourself your self love by showing D your love. These can be small gestures–they do not need to be grandiose or overt. They can be subtle and undefined in many regards. Do you want to maintain a cone of silence, or do you want some warmth to creep in? If you want warmth–as comfortable as you may have become to the ice–then this can be an opportunity to instill some warmth. You could call D and ask him if it is okay, or you could simply forward the info to both of them at the same time. Send a cheerful message. This could be a boon to both of them and to yourself. Go ahead, give it a try and see how good it makes you feel.

I feel it already just thinking about it.

Good. This is exactly what “sharing energy” means. We are energy. You must remember this. Energy is our essence. When we live, we share. We cannot live and not share who we are and what our energy is. So by just being, you share your energy. To share it readily, purposefully, intently, you further create energy bridges that have an impact in the world. This is a good thing. To share energy with intention is to share the love that we are, in our soul and spirit. We want to share.

Now, as you share energy with D, you also share energy with yourself, and this is good. This is what healing is about. Ultimately all healing is self healing, and self healing is evolution. You see, we move forward in our soul path by giving ourselves energy infusions of love. So – by reaching out to D, you reach out to yourself and you give yourself a new neuronal pathway of love in the nervous system. This opens the heart “chakra” as it were, which is your energy of love and life. You allow your energy to flow and pulse with the blood that travels to all corners, reaches, of your bodily system.

Now, this is a good thing to think about because you have been on the path of healing for many years. This “issue” with D is indeed only an issue of perception. Once the perception is healed, the issue is healed because there is no issue other than the ones that we create in our own mind. So–feel the courage to triumph in your mind over this issue that you perceive in the physical world. You will be advancing tremendously on your soul path.

Remember, too, that your brother D does love you. He feels tremendous love in his heart for you, and as your love reminds him of the love that he feels for you, this is an energy healing for both of you, and it will carry you both to new places.

There is much to look forward to in this healing vein that you have struck here–as you might strike a vein of gold as you are mining for gems. The truest gem is the gem of the golden love within. You do indeed have a mother lode of this love within. We each do, as humans, because we are children of the father/mother god, our Creator, who shared with us as children the love of self that the Creator felt. This love is in infinite supply and truly it is unlimited. The love you have within is unlimited, and as you express it to each other, you indeed express it to yourself.

So–share your love with D and with C and trust that all is moving as it should. You are each on your own path of healing and recovery from wounds, and in this instance there is a delightful triangulation of energy that can move each of you forward on your soul path. Be assured that all is well and that all will be well when the love that you are becomes the love that you express in the minutiae of your communication challenges.

Trust that love is here and that love is what you each have for each other.

God bless you.
