I greet you once more on the great matrix of Light, of love, of all creation. This matrix which extends around your planet, around your universe and out further to the outer universes yet undiscovered by your scientists. I have described the matrix of Light as a web. Not a spider’s web as you may suppose, no, a web of squares, moving in great waves, ever moving. This web is the foundation of your development. The web assists in weaving the Light particles into your atmosphere, your DNA strands, your super consciousness, and your higher heart, to then flow through to your physical body and your conscious mind, softening the emotional energies held within the heart. This assists you greatly in moving forward with love and forgiveness and a refined greater awareness. You step forward now into the Chinese and Tibetan New year with changed elements and focus. These elements have been studied over thousands of your years. Many eagerly look to see what element will be prevalent and how it may or may not affect you. You think of your hopes, dreams, plans you already have in your minds for the current year, and revise and sometimes change the path to reach your desired outcome. The desired outcome still remains, it is simply the way, altered by the perceived obstacles from the elements which need to looked out for. So it is for every aspect of your life. This year is a small part in the bigger picture of your life time. The planned goal may become a stepping stone for future plans, so therefore may require great solidity and strength to allow future goals to be built on top of this current goal. Smaller goals will not require such strength, yet may also hold accomplishment and joy. So you build your dreams and personal world around you. At times you may need to change a little of your plan, yet your focus remains on the end goal, on what it is you wish to achieve or attain. I ask you today to be still, to hold that material goal, and to focus on another inner goal for yourself this year. To ask yourself, “ how would I really like to be?” An interesting question is it not? It is a great question I ask of you. It requires you to be still, to sit quietly, to look closely at your intent, your thought patterns, your behavior, your actions. A great question indeed. To ask if you are happy with yourself. If indeed you are happy, that is to be celebrated. If you are not, then celebrate that also. “Why,” you ask? Because today in this great year of change on all levels, you understand, you see a new you, a better you. Today you see the beginnings of a new goal for yourself. You see what behavior or habit you wish to change within yourself. This is a wonderful decision, so we celebrate this turning point on your path of growth. Just as you have planned how other goals will come to fruition, you begin to plan your new path also. The year still lies before you with numerous possibilities. You must now plan each step required to reach your new vision of you. Focus will be required. Particularly when rocks appear on your path. Patience may be needed while you navigate your way over and around these difficulties to reach a smooth path once more. Yet all the while you learn, you gain new understanding, new strength. Step by step you grow toward your new vision, always you keep moving forward. It may surprise you to understand that your focus is on yourself. That is how it must be to truly move forward in Light, in expansiveness. I tell you there will be those who seek to pull you back, who criticize and gossip. It is these ones who need the Light and your understanding most of all, for they do not see what they are doing. Their higher self does, but they feel threatened. The higher self sees how they can be in higher awareness also, but the mind closes this off and resides in fear without fully understanding. The ego self then takes over with jealousy and negative behavior, trying to pull you down and make you feel inadequate. They do not understand, yet you with your higher understanding do see. You have the knowledge and higher awareness. Look at those ones, and dismiss their negative words of fear. They do not understand you see. I ask you to remember my words when faced with a situation as I describe here. Remember they do not understand, they are in darkness and fear. Move away. This is the action of compassion. The focus this year must be on the inner self. When you are functioning with love, and are at peace within, the outer world cannot harm you. The outer world will come and go, move and change. It is what is within you that matters greatly. It is what is within, how you think, how you feel, your actions towards others, this is what you carry over with you - lifetime, after lifetime. It is not what you have gained or posses in the material realm, no. It s what you nourish and hold within you. The outer world will fall away. It cannot be sustained after this life time. What is held within you can. “How,” you ask? Because as you grow in awareness and higher understanding you connect to your soul and the matrix of Light. So the Light you hold within you expands. I call this your Light quotient and I have spoken of this before. You build this in two ways. One, by drawing the Light into your entire being, and two, by your thoughts and actions. You are aware that darkness cannot penetrate Light. It cannot. It may seek to pull Light down, to destroy the Light through words of darkness, but these cannot penetrate, no. Remember my friend, the Light within you is the same as the Light I speak of. There is however, one great difference. You have a choice. You must choose when faced with any form of darkness or opposition. You must choose if you will allow the darkness to affect you. If it affects you, it is because you have allowed it to. Rather, understand some others know no better and move away. For if they did know better, if they had a greater awareness, then the darkness would cease to exist. I can tell you that darkness does have a purpose on your planet. The dark provides learning, and growth of soul. Also experience to know and understand Light from dark. It provides a comparison for you. Each of you has come from a place of darkness. Now it is for you to experience Light, to grow into Light and experience new joy and peace. Some do not see this can be because they know only various forms of darkness. They hold onto the past and strive to shut off their soul awareness. They cannot. It will merely take them longer to understand a new way forward. Peace to you Kuthumi Copyright © 2003 Rev, Lynette Leckie-Clark - All rights reserved.
