Update by Sheldan Nidle for the Spiritual Hierarchy and the Galactic Federation

6 Etznab, 1 Kank'in, 5 Caban

Selamat Jarin! We return with more to tell you about your world. Right now, our Earth allies continue to work on undermining the present banking system. Since the start of fractional banking in the early 1810s, the dark cabal has managed to slowly gain control of the global banking system. This system, like its partner the nation-state, is beholden to the moneyed interests on your world. Opposing them is a group of enlightened ones who saw the gross inequities produced by these systems and sought to reform them. In the past few decades, the opportunity arose to pull off this massive reform. The desperate conditions now surrounding your world's economies are a pressing reason to do these reforms properly. We have watched as your greedy and arrogant cabal plotted to avoid tackling these issues, but this proved to be a more difficult avenue to pursue than the cabal originally anticipated. A large group of hardened profiteers has attacked the cabal with a savage vengeance to the point where it can be said that a sickening sort of cannibalism is taking place.

As this self-destructive feeding-frenzy continues, the cabal inevitably hurtles toward its demise. The world watches as this grotesque performance reaches rock bottom. Our intervention, meanwhile, strengthens the activities of our Earth allies. Your limited-conscious realm is governed by money and power, ensuring that the state is wedded to the whims of the wealthy. This symbiotic relationship now requires a quick end. Our Earth allies comprehend this and have drawn up a host of new agreements between various states, the powerful, and our allies. These rare birds understand how important it is to create a situation in which the "old ways" are put at risk in order to finally discard them. These strategies are close to achieving their objective. Many on your world are truly frustrated at the time this has taken so far. We sympathize and are using our own plans to hasten the long-overdue end of the old ways. Your old reality is visibly cracking under the combined strains of the activities of both the cabal and of our Earth allies.

While this strange operation is underway, Mother Earth has put us on notice to accelerate drastically our timetable for first contact. The recent increase in earthquakes measuring seven plus on the Richter scale is a clear warning of what she has in store, as is the extinction level of many endangered plants and animals. Meanwhile, the melting of the glaciers in the Northern Hemisphere continues unabated. The South Pole is temporarily a different story; here, millions of people are being affected by the huge rip in the ozone layer, and we have worked to repair this hole which is why the Antarctic glaciers are actually expanding again. Our next job is to give similar support to the Arctic ozone hole, but Mother Earth regards these as mere minor fixes. The slight shift in the Earth's 23.5 degrees of obliquity caused by the Chilean earthquake is yet another harbinger of what Mother Earth plans. We meet frequently with our Earth allies to discuss these vital matters and have begun a series of talks with major Earth governments.

Your ecosphere is strongly rebelling, and Mother Earth requires that you leave her surface soon to take up your new homes in the beautiful 5-D world that is Inner Earth. Remember that Earth, like all stars and planets, is hollow. Inside her is the most splendid world filled with sights, sounds, and fragrances that will astound you! To get you there we need to complete Heaven's work and return you to full consciousness. This is no small task when the major governments of your world plot with the dark to keep you from your destiny. Heaven reassures us every day that this goal is non-negotiable and that the upcoming period is when this grand transition is to take place. We have put together a team that is working closely with your planet's Spiritual Hierarchy and a firm timetable is being agreed upon. We asked our Earth allies to accelerate their plans for bringing down the dark cabal and we, meanwhile, are implementing a special plan to speed your conversion by Light Chamber into fully conscious Beings.

These various plans are currently under full review by our Command Board and the entire fleet. We are repositioning a number of atmospheric fleets and calling upon our family in Agartha to assist us in resolving and activating the requirements of several scenarios. We need to move you smoothly and swiftly to Inner Earth, where special zones have been set aside in which several crystal cities have been constructed for you. Here you will find the living quarters and Light Chambers where you are to undergo your transformation into fully conscious Beings. A training syllabus has been compiled to teach you about the etiquette you will need once you are fully conscious. When you are competent and comfortable with your new state of consciousness, you are then ready to be introduced to galactic society. Initially, you will live within a typical Agarthan "podlet," where you can freely discuss what you are seeing and experiencing.

This period of adjustment will take place while Mother Earth restores your former surface home. This immense reconfiguration is to happen after all living things have been evacuated. Once the new topography is set in place, the new ecology will be introduced. Mother Earth wants a far more varied and a much more friendly series of living zones to be set up around the world, and her new lands, seas, and skies will be the habitats of many new creatures and plants. The only artificial structures are to be small special villages placed on major surface nodes, where you, as Mother Earth's new guardians, are to keep her multiplicity of realms in balance with ritual, dance, and chants. You are also to assist with the song and ritual of your Cetacean allies. Together, you are to honor Mother Earth and be responsible for the well being of all her life forms on this most exquisite of worlds.

This joint activity with the cetaceans will show you how easy it is to work with your fellow humans as well as other fellow sentient Beings to preserve the natural balance of planets and to unfold the divine plan. As fully conscious Beings you take up your role as physical Angels and use your abilities to make of your home world a true paradise for all living aspects of a loving and caring Creator. The society you create will nurture each individual, and your galactic society will be able to creatively solve any challenge you come up against. As a people you are to be known for your ability to understand even the most abstruse nuance of limited consciousness. This talent is to permit you in the very near future to raise many limited-consciousness planets to the Light, thus bringing you a wonderful celebrity.

The present is seemingly a time of great turmoil and danger for you. See it as a precursor to the great worldwide shift. Your world is racing toward first contact and Heaven is working miracles to wonderfully transform your lives. Happily, it is also when the dark cabal is to capitulate; when the truth of many things will be finally revealed; and when a new day of peace and prosperity dawns. A new abundance and a new financial system are waiting to roll out. This is not pie in the sky, but is to unfold before you as the old ways fade slowly but surely. Relish this strange and extraordinary time, and try not to be impatient. We are coming, and our Earth allies are nearly ready to spring their grand surprises upon you!

Today, we continued with our discussion of what is transpiring on your world. We intend to see you very, very soon! Our ships are in place to do whatever is necessary to bring you to the magic moment that is full consciousness. The time of wish fulfillment is at last upon you. Know, dear Ones, in your Heart of Hearts that the countless Supply and never-ending Prosperity of Heaven are indeed Yours! So Be It! Selamat Gajun! Selamat Ja! (Sirian for Be One! and Be in Joy!)

Before going further with this
article let me say very clearly once again that all of it is valid this
cannot be stressed enough. We are operating according to what we find
essential and appropriate. This also does not mean that one is superior
over the other or that one is lesser or greater or that one is chosen
and the other not. The writing of that article was all by design and
everyone who read it did so for a reason regardless of the opinion
which was formed. There are no mistakes! It is advisable that one ask
themselves why they were prompted to read it…and I must ask myself why I
wrote it and why did I choose to put myself out there in this manner.
Well I have certainly had to grow a thick layer of skin since then. Was
I upset when I wrote the article? No. It is the reason for the
humorous style in approaching the subject matter.

I
have learned that to play it safe when it comes to my own evolution
and what I am feeling inside is to deny myself the opportunity to grow
by leaps and bounds… to avoid misinterpretation let me clarify that
this statement applies to me; I cannot speak for anyone else. However I
realize the manner in which playing it safe can limit one to a
predictable set of possibilities. Predictability is a safe space, it is
the familiar. It is why many find it challenging to let go of the past
despite the challenges of the past, none the less the past provides a
reference point for predictable outcomes. This creates the rewind
effect. Every next moment is then created from the patterns of the past
with slight variations to the experience. Others will say but
“sometimes you need to play it safe” that could be defined perhaps as
diplomacy. Yes I agree so it is then up to the individual to determine
when to apply the brakes and when to hit the gas. 

We are all very protective of our holograms by that I
mean our individual construct of reality. It is the reason why we are
ready to defend it. Our holograms are guarded by our egos. We come out
with heavy artillery as we are our own military for our reality; we
must fight to protect it at all cost from all foreign invaders. We
stand guard ready to zone in on that one word or that one look that
signals opposition, this of course activates the defense system. We are
programmed to survive; our survival program is running 24/7 it is why
most of our society operates on a daily basis in the survival mode, the
“fight or flight” mode. This entire process is duplicated in the
overall hologram; countries fighting to defend themselves from foreign
invaders. Again much misunderstanding has set off many wars. It’s
always about a fight to defend our county, our land, our territory, our
religious/spiritual beliefs, our culture and of course our planet from
foreign invaders.  This is what we all do, again this is not a
judgment this is an observation. Defend it if you will for in that
moment you will see the very thing that I am speaking of. In truth and
in fact what are we defending? Do we really know what it is that we are
defending? Yet all of it is the nature of the experience on the
planet. The entire spectrum of experiences navigates us through our
goal in exploring the full range of possibilities in being human. So in
other words being in survival mode or not being in survival mode is ok
either way. We are experiencing the range according to what is needed.
I too found myself wanting to defend myself, defend the article, but
from what? Would I be defending myself from not playing it safe? The
experience was what I created for myself. There was no hiding; it was a
matter of owning my expression. It gave me new dimension into myself
and where I go from here.

It is the physical
part of us that does the reacting. These bodies are the vehicle
designed for the processing of these experiences, it processes a
chemical response; electrochemical impulses. These bodies are designed
to “survive”, to protect itself from invaders. We have however turned
over complete control to these bodies and so much of our thoughts and
actions are run by the “survival” system in place. We are on autopilot.
It is why our diets can destroy the body, it is because the frequency
of the thought field and belief systems are of an equivalent vibration
and therefore unable to override or penetrate the frequency patterns of
the substance being ingested. We have stabilized foods to particular
frequencies as can be observed in its form and its chemical makeup. We
are unable to un-stabilize the molecular patterns to the realization
that “there is no spoon, it is you that bends”. This is what we are all
working towards regardless of the road we may take, regardless of what
we are aware of. It is about coming to the realization that there is no
spoon. This analogy is supported by breakthroughs in quantum physics.
It is the observer that creates the illusion of the bending spoon. Here
is a quote from The Holographic Universe by Michael Talbot

“University of London physicist David Bohm, for
example, believes Aspect’s findings imply that objective reality does
not exist, that despite its apparent solidity the Universe is
at heart a phantasm, a gigantic and splendidly detailed hologram. 
To understand why Bohm makes this startling assertion, one must first
understand a little about holograms. 

A hologram
is a three-dimensional photograph made with the aid of a laser. To
make a hologram, the object to be photographed is first bathed in the
light of a laser beam.  Then a second laser beam is bounced off the
reflected light of the first and the resulting interference pattern
(the area where the two laser beams co-mingle) is captured on film. 
When the film is developed, it looks like a meaningless swirl of light
and dark lines.  But as soon as the developed film is illuminated by
another laser beam, a three-dimensional image of the original object
appears.

The three dimensionality of such images is not the only
remarkable characteristic of holograms.  If a hologram of a rose is
cut in half and then illuminated by a laser, each half will still be
found to contain the entire image of a rose.  Indeed if the halves are
divided again, each snippet of film will always be found to contain a
smaller but intact version of the original image. Unlike normal
photographs, every part of a hologram contains all the information
possessed by the whole.”

It is clear to me
that a number of people will agree to this realization yet in the same
breath this will be contradicted. This recognition of this
phantom/holographic design of reality clearly imposes the realization
that creation is like a child playing hide and go seek with itself.
Growing up basically like as an only child I understand what it is to
play by myself and get awfully creative. I would pretend that the
bushes were my children or that they were students in a classroom and I
was the teacher. This is what we do, we are here to imagine the most
outlandish experience possible but of course it has to be believable
even for the creator of the experience, perhaps more so for the
creator. It’s your game, your hologram. I am part of your hologram and
you mine. I need you to be here at this time and so do you if you are
engaged in any aspect of my experience and I in yours.

Let us further examine the importance of our individual
creations. Let us first recognize that we can’t go “wrong” (for
lack of another word) with what we create. You are obviously
creating and making choices according to concepts and ideas which would
support those decisions. Perhaps in order to create your world five
years from now in this moment you will create an experience which will
establish an outcome that will influence choices, options, decisions
which will present themselves in the future. It is the way we roll into
the next experience. The format of our world has always revolved
around themes. Themes represent cycles. The New Age movement represents
another theme in a particular period of human evolution/expansion.
What happens however is due to the nature of our design we very easily
become locked into these patterns and themes. We become comfortable
once again with the familiar, this becomes just another programming.
Repetition without dimension is programming; where one moves according
to a specific set of guidelines without deviation. Such behavior or
rituals are also essential in creating discipline and some guidelines
and boundaries until one feels self assured enough to hold your own and
deviate or add dimension to the disciplines. When one begins to trust
him/herself the guidance unfolds from within. Whatever methods ou route
we choose is then simply a stepping stone.  It is clear that we are
privy to and have access to the full spectrum of creation which moves
as streams of data. This data takes the shape of the visible world and
that which is invisible to us according to the boundaries placed on
ones perception.

It is evident that in the
overall picture creation does not appear to play it safe otherwise we
would have been limited or bridled in the creation of our
holograms/private reality. It however has a blueprint or patterns of
the design to be constructed. Everything is allowed so that we may have
the full potential of the human experience. However for every action
there is a reaction. What we create will bear fruit, the vibration of
that fruit will determine much of one’s experiences. There is no good or
bad there is only the vibration of the reaction. This is what we must
contend with, the reaction.  Another point to keep in mind is that
everything that we do we do for ourselves. We do it for the payoff;
again this is not a good or a bad thing. I am writing this article
because it is helping me to sort through some thoughts and ideas
floating around in my mind as are all my articles and my book. We want
to believe that we do it for others but in truth it is the feeling that
is derived from it. Sharing becomes a great outlet. When we do things
for our children or family or a stranger, it’s a great feeling! When we
do things that are upsetting to others there is still a payoff; you
needed to feel the way you feel after all was said and done. It does not
matter what it is in the end we do it for ourselves. We get that same
feeling when someone else does something that is what we call
“shameful” underneath it all we feel elevated as we could not have done
that, “we are not that kind of person”. How do I know this because I
have had to examine myself and to my amazement I realize the payoff
derived from all of it. I could say much about the role of
victimization but we will save that for another day.  I don’t write or
share the information because I believe that the world needs saving or
that I have the answers I do because it frees me to be me regardless of
the response. It allows me to experience my weaknesses and my
strengths, it allows me to stand firmly in my ever expanding knowing
and if along the way lives are changed because of it then I am ever so
grateful for being allowed to be part of one’s evolution. My workshops
and my lectures allow me the same experience. It is about my growth and
that is how I contribute to this beautiful dance I own that it is
about me and so I don’t have to hide or play it safe in most instances.

Most people play it safe because change is
devastating. As I said previously we each have a model of reality to
which we live our lives. When an attitude, people, place, thing or
belief is shifted it becomes a chemical reaction. We are addicted to
our lives it is how it is held together by the chemicals and hormones
coursing through us.  Shifting anyone of these, even moving a chair
causes adjustments to be made to our hologram or basically we may have
to create a new hologram. This can be scary especially when your entire
reality sits on the foundation of your spiritual belief structure,
everything is supported by the other . Who will guide us? What will we
do? We are wandering into uncharted territory, will there be a guide
there waiting for me, who will be there to let me know that I am going
the right way. Yes it can be a jolt but the one thing that I am famous
for saying is that “no matter what, you will live”, even when you
appear to die you live. Another aspect of thought that can certainly
provide support is the realization that you are not running out of time
as time is an essential illusion in order for us to have this linear
experience. If there is no spoon; and at heart the universe is but a
phantom then there is no such thing as distance and without the idea of
distance there can’t be time or gravity for that matter. There is no
here nor there, all that exists is this moment and everything else is a
speculation. This is where the idea of “time” is formed in the
speculation. Another quote from The Holographic Universe by Michael
Talbot  

“Bohm believes the reason subatomic
particles are able to remain in contact with one another regardless of
the distance separating them is not because they are sending some sort
of mysterious signal back and forth, but because their
separateness is an illusion.  He argues that at some deeper
level of reality such particles are not individual entities, but are
actually extensions of the same fundamental something”.

During the writing of the Holographic Canvas did I know
who David Bohm was or Gary Zucave author of the Dancing Wu li Masters,
no I did not but as I wrote and it was time to form the book my inner
guidance directed me to information that would support what I had come
to understand on my own. I understood the nature of reality before
knowing the words “quantum physics”. It was what I asked for, I asked to
know from within myself and to my surprise scientists confirm this
possibility in the above quote. It was necessary to have scientific
information to support my own conclusion as it is evident that people
are more confident of your claims. On the back of my book The
Holographic Canvas it states “like the single cell of a plant our
history is encoded in us”. We are the single cell and the entire plant
all at once! We are streams of data! We are the information itself! We
have access to all aspects of knowledge the question is whether we are
in a space to trust that inner knowing or not. We most often must build
ourselves up to that space of trust. It is for this reason that every
step we take is our pathway leading to endless possibilities. To walk
with no boundaries is to no longer fear ones actions for one has become
aware of the significance of the reaction. So the question is
do you play it safe or do you go for it.

Understanding and utilizing your intuitive abilities leads to a greater awareness of your Personal Power. A person in communication with their inner guidance system becomes more keenly aware of what is true for them and what is not. In today’s culture, we have access to more information than ever before. Much of this information is true for someone, but may not necessarily be accurate for you. It may work well for them, but it may not work for you at all. It is helpful to recognize the difference.  

Employing your intuitive abilities is like having software that filters your incoming email and places in the junk folder those pieces you’re not interested in; that data that doesn’t resonate with your truth. That handy piece of software is already available to you. It came as standard equipment, bundled with your hard drive. The art is finding it, turning it on and managing it.

“But wait a minute,” you say. “I don’t need intuition. My information comes from reliable sources; magazines, friends, books, the government. They wouldn’t mislead me.”   Well, most likely that’s correct. They may not be intentionally misleading you, but their truth may not be yours. When you utilize your intuitive abilities, whether that ability is clairvoyance, telepathy or clairaudience, you will recognize whether the information your friend gives you is aligned with your greater good long before you get entangled with it. Wouldn’t your life be a whole lot easier if you had that skill? This skill already exists within you...it’s just been hiding under a belief system that isn’t yours! It’s there for the asking.

You already are intuitive

Let me give you some additional examples of how this valuable ability may benefit you.

•  You will find yourself in Present-Time vs. in the future or past. Because you are operating in Present-Time you are able to clearly see your options and the appropriate response for each situation in which you find yourself.
• This clarity will increase your self-esteem
• You will begin to walk through life with Presence and Certainty. This doesn’t mean in arrogance. This is a gentle, pervasive knowing that you are in management of your life
• You will find doubt and fear begin to disappear and your ability to take charge of your business life and personal life increases very quickly
• The games that you play with others - such as judgment, victim, intimidation, control, blame, competition - begin to end
• You begin to recognize and change the beliefs that you have (up until now) allowed to operate your life. Have you ever said, “I sound just like my mother.”? Where do you think you learned to respond that way? Yikes! When you turn on your ability to intuitively see these energy patterns, they begin to change.

Intuition is as natural as breathing or eating. By making it a part of your conscious mode of operation, you will become enlightened. Jesus said, “Make thine eye single and you will see the light (your truth).” He was talking about clearing out all the noise that keeps you from experiencing your natural spiritual abilities and then deliberately using them to clearly see your own truth.

Once we have cleared out an amount of this noise (the untrue beliefs) we begin to see the “Light.” In other words, the light of truth (our truth) soon becomes what we live by and what we allow to guide our decisions. The twists and turns of life become easier and less dramatic or stressful because that inner guidance system within us is turned on directing us to take this turn or that.

The work we’ve done in clearing out the noise in the channels (see previous articles on the Grounding Cord and other tools) allows this light and the corresponding adjustments to easily enter. One must clear the old leaves out of the rain gutters in order for the rivers of rain to easily pass through without jamming the works and causing a mess. The work we, as a community, have been doing around the world has surprised and amazed even me. The ease and delivery of this information has been smooth and transformative, allowing more of this Light to enter.  Opening to and developing your intuition and other spiritual abilities will allow you to see and experience that Light. You will also discover how great you are.

3. Donate - This is a great time to go through clothes or household items with an eye for sharing the wealth with those in need. We all have things that we no longer use that could be life changing for someone else. Your old suits or dresses could give someone a new outfit for a job interview. Your used washing machine may be a blessing in a family's life. By the way, we've had several community members write to say that when they donate used clothes they put a Grace Card or Self-Care Card in the pocket as a surprise gift for the person who gets it. I love that idea and will be doing it myself.

4. Release Old Energy - Go through the files in your office or your contact list and let go of outdated resources, information, or old ideas. I've used this strategy for years to release the old energy tied to plans that fell through, goals that lost steam, or dreams that fizzled out because they needed to. Make the space for new business, great opportunities, or more creative ideas that make sense for who you are now.

A little spring cleaning goes a long way in making space for something great to enter your life. Consider this week's "Take Action Challenge" and enjoy a renewed sense of spaciousness and mental freedom!

Take Action Challenge

If there is something new you'd like to attract - a new job, romance, friend, more money, or clients - you'll need to make space. Choose one idea from above and work on it this week. Then, watch what shows up!

This week's video was sent to me by my mom. It's the perfect little video when you're having a bad moment or when you need a reminder of how simple it is to be happy. Thanks Mom! You can find it here.

a message from Jesus/Jeshua channeled by Judith Coates

Thursday, 8 April, 2010 

 

You have prophecy now that there is going to be a big change upon holy Mother Earth in the year 2012, as it has been called. You have found all kinds of channeled information about it, and this is wonderful, because you are bringing it forth for yourself in order to sit with it and see what your truth is about the year 2012.

You do not have to accept anyone else's truth; that is their truth. You choose for yourself what feels true to you and what you want to experience. Because, you see, the year 2012 has not been written yet -- even though you may have the "wise ones" who are channeling all of the information about what is going to happen.

But I say unto you, 2012, 2011, 2010 has not been written yet. Even what you see as the morrow has not been written yet. You are the makers of what you experience. You are the makers who are the judge and jury of everything that you bring forth, and as it is written in your holy Scriptures, that whatever you create, call it good, because truly, everything is good, even if it has the appearance of being a disaster. It will lead, and it has led, the holy Child to a place where you can make a new choice.

You have chosen some great challenges and some smaller challenges in order to live your divine being. It was the same for me: would I travel to far lands to study with the great masters of that time, would I teach the multitudes or just the few, would I experience the crucifixion and arise up in the resurrection to continue that lifetime? These were some of the choices I looked at in that lifetime.

Take yourself back…in this moment, allow yourself the deep breath, and allow yourself to go back to the being that you have been in the Atlantean time when you were the creator bringing forth new creative inventions, when you were working with crystals, and when you were finding what crystals could do as you were knowing Oneness with the energy of a crystal.

Allow yourself to feel how you felt and to see the goal that you had in that lifetime as to how you wanted to use the energy of the crystals. Some of you in a particular lifetime saw the energy of the crystal to convey to you personal power. Others of you saw the healing energy of the crystal and how it could be used for healing. 

In the last couple of moments you have traveled, as your historians measure time, back many, many eons of time to a realization, a reality that is true; it is legendary according to some of your history books, if it is mentioned at all, but it is true. It is a true reality that you have lived. You have been there.

You have also walked the path of peace with nature in Lemuria. Feel you that peace and know that that peace of nature can be found yet. Some of your trees which have been growing for centuries of time, allow yourself to sit with them in the mind and sometimes with the physical body, and to ask of them what they have seen, and what they would advise for the future.

Everything is open to you. Everything. There is nothing that is held away from you. There is nothing that would be denied. It cannot be denied the holy creative Child that you are. That is why I encourage you to go for it, to live your dream, to ask of yourself what is your dream. What do you want to see happening in your own life? What do you want to see happening with the grouping of friends? What do you want to see upon the face of our holy Mother, the Earth?

You are a great master. You have chosen to be in this reality at this time, just as you have chosen many other times when there would be a turning of an age, a time of awakening. You have said, "I want to be there for the quickening of the energy. I want to be there to add my energy to it."

You are a courageous master. You have come from the place of the heart. That is what the root of the word courageous comes from--coeur--the heart. You come from the heart to serve the Light, to serve the awakening one more time.

The measure of a master, and the measure of mastery itself, is very simple. The measure of mastery is in the time that it takes you to be in the place of turmoil, to understand the place of confusion, and then to come to peace. Sometimes it may take you a decade or longer. They call it a certain stage of life. You may have to live through a certain stage of life. Other times it may take you a couple of weeks. Other times it may take you only a deep breath, and then you come to that place of peace that says, "Whatever happens is good, because it serves the atonement. Whatever happens, I add my energy of knowing the blessedness of it, and therefore it is good."

So if you want to know the measure of how you as a master are coming along with this journey, if you want the progress report, you can do this for yourself easily. When you get into that place where you do not know what to do, or you feel that everything seems to be at sixes and sevens and nothing is working together, allow yourself the deep breath and come to the place of peace. If it does not happen right away, that is okay. Take another deep breath and ask for peace. If it takes you an hour, a day, a fortnight, even a year to be at peace with something, that is okay. That is the measure of mastery.

If you would cast your mind back to a decade ago when you were in a certain situation and there was perhaps an issue that was very close to your heart and it hurt, now you look at it and you see it differently. You can see the blessing that has been in it and the goodness in it, even though at the time, a decade ago, it might have been very painful.

The measure of mastery can happen with the deep breath in an instant, or it may take longer, and that is okay. There is no judgment, because truly there is no time. In this reality there seems to be time, but in truth, it does not matter if it takes you lifetimes before you have lived a certain situation over and over and over and then finally come to a place where you have said, "It really doesn't matter. It really doesn't affect me at all, what ‘they' choose to do."

But sometimes in a lifetime it seems very important what "they" have chosen to do, and you can feel very hurt by what they have chosen to do. But then you can come to a place where you say, "But that touches me not. It is their choice. It is what they see to be important that they need to do," and you can let it go.

The measure of a master can be measured by how long or short a time it takes you to come to that place of peace. It can be done, as I said, with the deep breath. It can be done with the candle. If you are wanting something tangible, light a candle and look into the flame, the energy of the candle, and know yourself to be that light, for truly, you are the one creating the light of the candle. In truth, that candle does not exist except as you have brought it forth in your consciousness.

Now, the world does not say that to you. The world says that if you touch the flame, you are going to feel it. But that is the teaching of the world, and you can go beyond that. You have seen ones snuff out the candle flame with their fingers, and you wonder, "How can they do that? That's fire. How can they snuff out that flame with their fingers?" You have thought, "If I did that, it would be too hot."

But if you are in a certain state of mind and you reach out and you squeeze the flame, you can extinguish it with no harm to the fingers. It is the state of mind, the consciousness that makes the difference. However, I would suggest that as you develop trust in knowing the shift in consciousness, for the first few times you snuff the candle flame, you wet your fingers first. (Smile) It is the state of mind, it is the consciousness that determines what you see your life to be and how you see it to be.  

Some of you have wondered, "Why am I here? I enjoy my life, I enjoy traveling, I enjoy my friends, I enjoy the books that I read, but why am I here? Surely there has to be a reason more than that." It is to be the Light that lifts up the world. It is to be the master in realization and to know that every issue that comes to you, you have invited.

Now, sometimes separated ego does not want to hear that. "I invited this mess? I invited this relationship? I invited all of this abuse? I have invited the illness? I have invited the economic downturn?" Yes, you have, in order to know your divine power, in order to know the divine power of choice to live in a different space.

That is what I have called the measure of mastery, to be able to choose to live in the space of divine love, a space that knows that no matter what the world is doing, no matter what the body seems to be doing, no matter what anyone else is doing, "I am living the I Am Intelligence. I Am Love. I am okay." Start with that one. You can understand that one, the human self. "I am okay." And you are. You are truly more than okay, but sometimes separated ego does not want to go any farther than that, so you can start with, "I am okay…I think." And you are.

Allow yourself in every day to celebrate your Self. And by that, I mean to look back over the challenges, the experiences of this lifetime and to see where you have come. See where you were a decade ago. And separated ego may say, "Well, a decade ago I was younger. I was prettier; I was more handsome. I had more golden coins. I had more of the worldly accolades…" Maybe yes, maybe no.

But as you will assess the measure of mastery, you will realize that now you can come to the place of peace much more quickly than you did previously. You can come to the place where you are okay with whatever anyone else chooses. You are okay with whatever the body brings to you. You are okay with every issue, because you know that you are more than any issue.

Some of the issues feel like big stumbling blocks. You lose a loved one and they do not send you a post card, and it feels big. But the master of you--and you are a master--comes to know that that experience was not a downer. It was not a minus sign, but a plus, and you look at all of the treasure that came from whatever issue you have dealt with or are dealing with. You look at all of the expansion of experience that it brings to you instead of looking at all that you have lost, because truly you never lose anything anyway.

You look at all of the positive things that have come out of that experience, all of the treasures that you have stored away in the treasure chest, and only you know those treasures. You can open that treasure chest and you can take out each jewel and look at it and say, "This is the jewel that came from when my parents left. This is the jewel that came when my mate left. At the time I thought it was a piece of coal, an old stone, an old rock. I would have thrown it away, but something told me to put it in the treasure chest. And now I see that there are sparkles on it, and it looks different to me."

That is the measure of the master: to be able to see the good very quickly in everything that you experience. As you travel the journey of life, there are many opportunities to judge; to judge self: that is the first one. You have been taught, even subconsciously, by the parents and the peers that you were not quite good enough. Maybe you did not make the cheer-leading squad. Maybe you did not make the first string of the football team. Maybe you were not the best orator. Maybe you did not get the highest grades, etc.

The peers would tell you whether you were good enough or not good enough, and the parents--even the most well-meaning parents--would encourage you to do better. And you thought, "Well, if they are saying that I should do better, that means that I'm not there yet, I'm not perfect yet, so I must be imperfect."

Your heavenly Father/Mother sees you as perfect, because you have to be. You are the extension of that creative Principle. It is neutral. There is no good or bad, less or more. It Is, and there is no judgment in it.

Allow yourself to know that you are the master come once again into this experience to let your Light shine, to be joyful in the face of sorrow, to be comforting to another one and to lift them up with hope.

Know that always I am here for you. If there is no one else who will listen to you, I will listen to you. Always I hear you when you call. Call upon me. I am always here for you. I love That Which you are, because I know That Which you are: the divine holy Child experiencing and expressing as the human one more time. And I give unto you my great respect, my joy, and my love.

So be it.
