Soul Purpose and the Collapse of the Old

Dear Julie,

I am a Light Worker who is having an impossible time with the new energy. 2008 was an awesome year when I went to school and became a Certified Hypnotherapist. I felt more peace, excitement, and love than ever before. And I was able to help a lot of people.

2009 was a complete "drop on my head" spiritually. No business, leaving the job I was in for 12 years and the "friends" that just didn't work for me, stagnation, etc.

I don't like my family or my friends anymore, and I can see situations and people for what they are, not what they pretend to be.

Using the "Mining the Askash" techniques of Kryon, I have completely healed myself, stopped my biological clock from aging any further (I just turned 56 and every day I look one year youinger than the day before), and connected to my Higher Self.

However, I am going through such a "dark night of the soul" and I cannot work with a system on Earth which offers only to pay pennies for my "million dollar skill set and services", in an economy where the cost of living has quadrupled!

All I can do every day to keep from losing my mind is two things: 1) go to the gym, work out and get into the water, and 2) listen to free downloads of channelled entities such as Kryon, Adamus, and The Group.

Of course, I am looking for employment again, but with a tremendous disadvantage: I see the environments for what they are, very, toxic. I know I am supposed to have a metaphysical mission similar to Steve and Barbara, Lee Carroll, Geoffrey and Linda Hoppe, and other Light Workers....just not happening!

Everywhere I go, people who don't know me see a "Light" and a "Power" they are attracted to...they see the Aura of a Light Worker. Ironically, it is still shining through me, although I feel like I am finished here!

Sorry for sounding negative, but I feel I need to get out of Southern California...the energy feels so stuck and so thick I can cut it with a knife.

Thank you Julie....please don't tell me that my vibration is not aligned with intent or what "I think" I want....I've had just about all the "New Age Guilt" I can take! If I was able to heal myself 100% of every disease I have ever had with my intent yet not generate business for my metaphysical company with the same intent, then could it be other people's free choice interferring with my intent?

Thanks, Beverly

Dear One,

In this challenging time, it is important to hold onto your understanding of higher purpose, the purpose that your soul has chosen for this lifetime. Such a purpose may be different from or broader than the one you originally conceived. From this broader perspective, your path has not become de-railed, but rather is expanding in ways you cannot yet perceive to help you acquire skills other than those you have been using to be of maximum service. The use of your intent to create and of the power of thought to support this have been valuable assets in terms of the knowledge you have gained and the gifts you have been able to share with others. Yet there are additional attributes that are seeking balance within you, in order to prevent an overemphasis on one part of spiritual attainment while losing sight of others. From this perspective, you are not being impeded by obstacles coming from outside yourself. Rather, you are being shaped according to an inner plan so that you can expand your path of service.

While learning to manifest through intent and thought may be the life purpose for some, within your own soul plan for this lifetime, these need to be balanced by additional qualities of surrender, humility, and love. For these qualities to manifest, your own will has to recede into the background and other attitudes need to move into the foreground. The loss of your work and of the previous structure of your life in many respects serves this purpose.

You have acquired, beloved one, a good deal of spiritual knowledge from your Atlantean lifetimes and also from inner and outer guidance which has come to you over a long period of time. This guidance and the channelings you gravitate toward resonate with your inner attunement to the higher dimensions of light. Yet, this attunement and knowledge is not the totality of what the human journey is about. You have taken embodiment not only to teach but to learn, and out of this learning, to help others better.

Do not be discouraged because you feel like you no longer belong on this planet. This is a feeling that tends to surface as light grows stronger and the vibrational difference is more apparent between what is light-filled and what is not, what is within yourself and what is around you. While you acknowledge your connection with those in the higher realms and comfort yourself in this way, the true message of this time is about becoming a human being in an expanded sense, not leaving humanity.

Try to take this in if you can, with peace and compassion for the difficulties involved, and with the inner assurance that nothing is wrong in your spiritual growth or in your soul's plan for this embodiment. It is not operating according to the plan you conceived, that is the difficulty you face. Let go of that plan and see if you can expand into another which includes a broader picture of what your true path of service might be. Often, those who bring knowledge of the higher dimensions of light to the Earth have to become more grounded in their humanity to do so. Blessings, beloved one. Julie Redstone

The Purification of Nations

Thoughts concerning the speech made by President Obama following acceptance of the Nobel Peace Prize:

-----------

Nations, just as individuals, cannot find lasting peace except through peaceful means. Though it may seem that a show of force is the only way to achieve peace, such force will always eventually elicit counter-force. The goal of peace must be achieved by the means of peace.

The world does not know this yet. It fears the consequences of abdicating rule by force. A greater sense of the Divine reality that underlies the relationship of nations as well as of individuals must ultimately guide the shift toward peaceful means. That, and the understanding that the use of force or aggression on any level toward any life-form will ultimately harm oneself.

Adherence toward peaceful means may seem impractical and the historical view of "a just war" in service to the goals of peace may seem like wisdom. Yet our sense of 'practical' and 'impractical' evolves along with our sense of truth, and so the greater evolution of our collective consciousness will bring this awareness, too.

May the year 2010 see the unfoldment of both greater peace and greater truth. Namaste.

Purification of Groups, Businesses, etc.

Groups, as well as individuals, can go through a purification process as light increasingly affects consciousness. Relationships can become more conflicted, with more visible acting out of differences, or the group can more easily begin to connect with its higher purpose.

Groups have a life of their own. This includes businesses and organizations of all kinds. The effect of light is unique to each organization and will work to bring all things into greater wholeness. The transition is much the same as for individuals. It can be gentle or turbulent, with many emotions spilling over, especially when one is not aware of what is going on. Centering in the light is as important for groups as it is for individuals, and is often needed to bring stability to an otherwise turbulent situation.

Undiagnosable Symptoms - New Light Body

I am a regular reader of all the pathways of light calenders. i am grateful to you for it. I have been experiencing severe burning sensation in the back from past 10 years. I feel painful energy currents flowing in my back. Being myself a medical doctor I could not understand this process until recently which i came to know as a light body symptom. I have also experienced emotional upsets which has reduced in the recent years. I also have severe heaviness and pain in the heels which does not reduce with any medical teatment. In the recent months it is easing out. How shall i further allow and surrender to this physical shifts in me. Thank you -- Keshava

---------------------

Blessed Keshava,

You have more than you are aware of of spiritual insight and knowledge, and are able to ride out the severe physical challenges you are facing with a sense of confidence and trust. This is very important in working with the changes that need to happen, for tension in the body constricts the energy flow, whereas acceptance opens it up.

Also, in relation to your particular needs at the moment, you are available to higher guidance if you would but seek it. With that inner connection you will be guided to the specific remedies, aides, and ways of creating symptomatic relief which will be a great asset for you.

Blessings dear one. Your essential nature will take you in the right direction since you are already well connected with the spiritual realms. Julie Redstone

The Decision to Trust

I recently had a breakdown and now I have a lot of fear. I have a hard time with people, and frequently have panic attacks. I was wondering if you have any advice. I'm even reluctant to disclose to much information to you because I don't have a lot of trust and this is my first time writing to you.

I am sick and tired of having this flight response to life. Thank you for your time. -- Joan

---------------------

Dear One,

Thank you for writing and for trusting enough to reach out in this way. You are still traveling through life with wounds from the past and have to decide now whether you will let your past define you, or whether you can accept a new identity in the present and future. This is a real choice that you and others can make at this time, since the available supports are present in a spiritual sense for you to shed your past identity and to embrace a freer and more whole life in God.

Though it is possible, it often does not feel like a simple matter to drop the past, for it involves establishing a new anchor of trust in the present. This is what will enable you to get past the fear that is so much coloring your life. You are afraid, because fear, as an energy, is moving through you in an intense way. Yet, there are other possible ways of living in the world when one has decided to learn to trust. The way to begin is with this decision, which, in itself, will begin to create a new energetic balance within you.

Trust in a spiritual sense is not based on what human beings do but on what God does. It is based on truth and on light - on the knowing of the Divine essence that lives within you even in the presence of fear. Once this knowing takes root, it begins to be stronger than the fear and over time becomes stronger and stronger if allowed to do so.

There are many ways, dear one, to begin to strengthen your spiritual anchoring to help make this possible. Writing to me is one of them. You might also wish to look at Pathways of Light which is filled with spiritual supports and see if anything there appeals to you. Please feel free to write again if you wish.

Know, too, despite your present state of emotion and the experiences you have lived through, that you are greatly loved. Blessings - Julie Redstone

'Fuzziness' at the Edges - Light Body Adaptation

Dear Julie,

Thanks for your wonderful website- it is immensely helpful. I have found the past 3 weeks to be particularly brutal! I have never felt so completely 'non-functional' on all levels as I have during this time. I go to bed and sleep for 10hrs and wake up even more exhausted than when I went to bed. Plus my brain really isn't working anymore- it's almost impossible to think in any logical way or move out of the moment- it's making it extremely difficult to function in the 'normal' world. I feel like I'm starting to dissolve, like my outer edges are becoming fuzzy. At one level it is really quite overwhelming. I've been experiencing a lot of physical shifting over the past few years so I am quite used to all this but it certainly feels as though things have accelerated recently though.

Could you please comment on the dissolving and fuzzy feeling though? For the most part I am staying out of fear around this but I just needed to share it with someone. -- Alex (Australia)

-------------------

Dear One,

You are doing quite well with the many intense changes you are experiencing. Loss of left-brain functioning which involves the ability to think clearly and to focus on details is a common symptom at this time as brain-wave patterns change and a new energy replaces the old.

Regarding the loss of 'edges' and of fuzziness, often intuitive perceptions such as this correspond to physical/energetic realities. This is to say that the hard edges of your energy envelope may be dissolving to allow for a more unified field perception and sense of oneness with all that is. The dissolving may also serve an emotional purpose, allowing you, literally, to soften and to have fewer emotional edges, since people often carry this self-protectiveness at the boundary of their emotional energy body.

In either case, the feeling of physical/energetic dissolution has to be held in the context of changing identities and being raised to a new level of consciousness that the body can then support. The dissolution of separateness on any level - emotional, mental, energetic, allows one to feel part of the All, and though you may not feel that now, it is what your soul has brought to you as a presentiment of the future.

Try to be patient with this time. It is good that you are staying out of fear. As things change, it is also useful to think of 'windows of opportunity' which you can ask for that will allow you to get done a certain number of circumscribed things during a limited period of time before the 'window' closes. This can happen because you are, unknown to yourself, being guided from a higher level of your own consciousness and also by beings in the Realms of Light. Therefore, ask, when you need to, that a 'window of opportunity' occur so that you can get a few things done. This is God's magic at work. You will see that it becomes possible to accommodate to the situation better if there is a little 'time-out' as well.

Blessings, dear Alex. Julie Redstone

A Time of Dissolution - New Light Body Adaptation

I've been feeling I have no direction in life. It seems like I'm not being understood and/ or listened to, I have no ambition to create or know what to create, I don't have a meditative practice, I should send Reiki to others and don't, I feel like I don't know who I am anymore. I feel like I am going backwards and not forward with my life. As if I'm living in the dark and not the light. I could go on and on. It's like my body feels empty, but at the same time I feel like I am carrying around weights on my shoulders. Help, please. Thank You. Shelly

------------------

Dear One,

There is often a time of dissolution or coming apart before a new self can be reconstituted. Without being known to the conscious self, the structure of personal identity is being altered in order to make way for the new. This can lead to profound feelings of discomfort, and to doubt that something good is truly happening.

Understand this: the dissolution is a necessary step for those who choose to walk in the light of their larger self. For some people it takes place in only small ways, or in only selected areas of life, while for others it is an across-the-board phenomenon, acting upon almost all aspects of one's being.

During a time of dissolution, it is difficult to find the motivation to do anything or to go in any direction, because the center of motivation itself is being altered. This is happening so that a new directive, infused with the higher self consciousness, can take over direction of the outer life more completely.

One must be patient with this process, and also know that many others are going through something similar in their own ways. While this does not remove the intrinsic discomfort of feeling awash in uncertainty, emptiness or lack of direction, it does allow trust to remain in the presence of such feelings.

Try, in the midst of this, to find one spiritual anchor that you can relate to, even if it feels small or of little significance. Music can be an anchor, walking in the woods, being in a spiritual vibration that has a particular ambiance. This time of dissolution is very important and very valuable, for it creates a path forward into the future. Blessings. Julie Redstone

Stabilizing One's Energy Field

A question was asked with respect to "New Ways of Relating - Part 2," and I would like to share my response with you since others might have this question as well:

"Stabilizing one's energy field' is a physical/energetic practice that takes place in the body and in the auric envelope that maintains light energy of a particular potency and quality no matter what the surroundings. This is something you can feel when it is present and can begin to sense when it is absent. It is furthered by any regular spiritual practice that attunes you to the higher vibrations of light, and also by allowing conscious breathing to be part of your daily routine."

There are other ways of stabilizing one's energy field that have to do with diet, and also with the transformation of the environments you are in or choose to be in. Maintaining an energy field of a higher vibration around you helps with what goes on within you as well.

If you have not yet considered creating a sacred altar space in your home, this may be a way to begin. Blessings.

Physical Change and the New Light Body

There is much happening today to the physical body as a result of increased light. New and unexplainable symptoms may be appearing that had never been seen before, or that one thought were long gone. Like a pot of water that manifests bubbles on the surface as it boils, so, too, does the body rid itself of things that have been concealed below the surface, by bubbling up with the energies that need to be released.

This time of releasing within one's own body needs to be treated gently and with respect. In truth, you cannot just will the symptoms away and in some cases not even conventional forms of treatment will be effective. It is a new time, and a new body is being created for all living beings, and so that which cannot resonate with light is erupting now as physical symptoms or mental or emotional symptoms that are part of the process of becoming free.

Take the time to rest, and to treat your body gently if you are feeling a need to do so. Rest, and the drinking of pure water helps the body to release energies more easily, allowing the natural process to take its course.

The result of this time will not be more illness, but a freeing of the body to take its place as a vessel that can carry its own light and transmit it to others. This is a blessing and those who may endure a difficult process in this regard are actually helping the planet as they do so. Namaste.

The Way Through Anger

The Way Through Anger

Nothing Solid

We look around us and see a solid world, a world of objects and people. Movable things like chairs and immovable things like mountains. Everything looks just as it appears to our senses.

Now consider a different perspective, the world as pure energy with nothing solid in it. In this ever-changing world of energy, we are constantly influencing life in an interactive flow through our thoughts, emotions, and actions, all of which send energy into the surroundings.

It is an illusion to think that we truly can keep things inside ourselves. We are sending out messages on energy wave-lengths all of the time. This is a reason to awaken to the reality of purification, both for ourselves and for the planet. What we are sending forth is now coming more fully into our awareness. Also, what we are receiving. Our lives are becoming richer as we awaken to the vibrant flow of life that we are part of and that is part of us, and we are being called to participate in that life with a higher degree of responsibility. May it be so for all beings. Amen.

Maintaining Trust in the Face of Adversity

The intensification of light is bringing about a confrontation in a more intense way with energies of darkness and negativity both in oneself and in others. For some, this may erupt into relationship difficulties where none or few existed before. For others, it may be felt as a sense of malaise, uneasiness, or depression, with no external cause being apparent.

The underlying beliefs that have accompanied you into this lifetime that are in need of healing are being addressed progressively as light on the Earth intensifies, and these beliefs often challenge the ability of the conscious self to keep its inner house in order and often to keep its outer life in order as well.

Trusting the progress that is being made during this time of difficulty is an essential part of how to hold light in darkness. Knowing that the light is beneath whatever wave of darkness one is passing through is a way of maintaining an anchor in truth and in hope.

In the presence of adversity, hold to the power of light over darkness and to the power of your own soul which has chosen to be here during this very time of difficulty, not to be overcome, but to help others through your presence here.

May all be blessed. Amen.

Foundational Beliefs and the Path of Truth

There are 'foundational beliefs' that the embodied self has come to hold as true, that are not true, but that form the basis for the personality structure and its defenses. Also for ways of being and behaving with others. Encountering these beliefs is a necessary part of the struggle to become more honest with oneself on the way to recognizing the deepest foundational truth which is one's Divine nature and oneness with God.

These foundational beliefs that are held to be true are uncovered by the process of purification and must be met humbly, simply, as ideas and feelings that one has held for a very long time. Being with these core perceptions or beliefs without trying immediately to change them, but just witnessing them in trust, has a powerful transformative effect. Out of nothing, something grows. Out of barrenness, a seed begins to spring forth.

Here is one beautiful expression of a foundational belief that someone arrived at after a long time of experiencing the effect of this inner state, but not its true nature. Being able to hold this experience, to feel it, and yet to not fully and completely merge with it, allows the flow of light to do its work. One witnesses this state, while trusting in the larger process that is taking place.

--------------------

Desolate

There is nothing here in this empty place
but the sound of emptiness itself
No-one but my own thoughts
that echo in this empty chamber

There is dust and debris
but no noise
I kick a can and it bounces and echoes
clatters off some empty or broken benches
then falls silent again

Feels desolate like an unused mine
or an abandoned subway station
with no entrance or exit.

Dim light, though – I can see some
through the haze
But no one. No one else.
And No Love. Nothing.
Not even tears.

Just empty.
Even hope feels like a forgotten word
That has no meaning,
no way to grow.

No light, no soil,
no company
Just alone.
No life except the life in me
that somehow has kept on going.

R.

------------------

This poem is offered to all who are going through the uncovering of core beliefs in this way, as a path of hope.

Dynamics of Rejection

It sometimes happens that the reaction of energies of darkness that are unconsciously active within people cause that person to see light as darkness and darkness as light. This can cause one person to reject another, questioning the purity of their motives or their intentions when, in fact, the motives in question partake of a high degree of purity, at least at a moment in time.

It is important to understand the dynamic between darkness and light in energetic terms since the tendency is often to take things personally and to feel rejected by someone's rejecting response. This can happen easily when it is not known that one is involved in a cosmic process that is much larger than the self.

The only way to know that this dynamic is happening, however, is if one has a relatively high degree of clarity and purity of heart in a particular situation. Such clarity need not be perfect, but predominant at a given point in time. Then, it may be seen that the distortions or projections of others are energetically based. Without clear intentions it is impossible to know or perceive the energetic picture correctly, since the negative energies of others can simultaneously be activating one's own negative energies, creating a response circuit that is less than pure that can be perceived by another.

For many people, the tendency to overly-personalize rejecting responses, even when this particular dynamic is not involved, is a longstanding habit and one that is extremely painful to the self. It is far better to cultivate a habit of self-examination so that one's own motives are known, and therefore the projections of others can be allowed to slide off and be let go of.

Contraction

A time of contraction has been with us for a long time now, creating hardship for many, both individually and on a planetary level. Often, one thinks ones own burdens are personal - intrinsic and limited to the self, when in fact they are vastly influenced by the power of contraction. This energy is capable on a global level as well as individually of causing greater hopelessness, despair, and fear, all of which result from the covering that is placed over the light within.

When this covering is effective, one can feel bereft, without guidance, without hope, without comfort, without direction. One can feel that God is absent or not listening or that one has taken the wrong path and therefore been abandoned. The force of darkness cannot extinguish the light, for light is intrinsically stronger than darkness, but it can create a blanket over it so that it cannot be seen or felt, and often for long periods of time.

During a time of contraction, it is important to find the means of anchoring oneself in spiritual reality, however that becomes possible. One may not feel light, but one can know it is there. One may not feel God, but one can know God is there. Whatever means of spiritual anchoring resonates with the inner being is what should be pursued. Especially through being with others who can convey hope and trust during a time of darkness.

Knowing that 'contraction' is an energy force that affects many can help in another way. It can reduce self-blame for not being able to fix the situation or change one's feelings more quickly. It can also help to not take things so personally.

As light remains the strongest force within all universes, it will eventually restore its prominence and potency and the tide of contraction will turn. In the meantime, steadfastness is needed, and the kind of gentle love that will allow kindness toward the self to remain.

Invisibility

As the body changes as a result of the infusion of increased light, it sometimes happens that others begin to treat one differently. One aspect of that difference can have to do with invisibility. Though a body that is more light-filled is not 'literally' invisible, the vibrational shift in the cellular structure can make it seem to passersby that there is 'no one there'. This is not a visual experience but an energetic one. And it is not total but partial. It is a result of the body's frequency of vibration going out of the normal human range, and so those whom one has contact with may feel a sense of both unfamiliarity and distance in relation to the new energetic picture. Where there was resonance before, there may now be awkwardness, strangeness, or strained-ness.

If this has happened to you or to someone you know and you would find it helpful to ask specific questions about this, write to me at Messages by Request. Blessings.

Trends in Emotional and Spiritual Health: Depression and Post-Traumatic Stress

This article is part of a talk given by Julie at Light Omega on Sept. 6, 2009 called "Depression - A Spiritual Perspective." To order a CD of this talk, contact information@lightomega.org

--------------------

Beloveds, we live at a time when increased spiritual energy on the planet is creating a raised awareness of the values of the heart and of life itself. At the same time, it is bringing into consciousness all that is out of balance and not in harmony with these newly awakening values. It is in this way that it is possible to look at the increased incidence of depression in developed countries, which, in many nations, has become of epidemic proportions. In the same light, though from another world, we can look at the increased incidence of post-traumatic stress or ‘post-traumatic stress disorder’ in military personnel returning from the 1990s Gulf War, the Iraq War, and now from Afghanistan.

What brings these two phenomena together is that they are emotional and spiritual ‘signals’ of something being wrong. One may look within the individual psyche to see what is ‘wrong,’ but that reveals only a partial truth. The awakening of the values of the heart creates a greater collision between the values of one’s humanity and the actual exigencies and ‘necessities’ of hand-to-hand combat and war in general. Similarly, the values of the heart awakening create an increased sense of urgency that the empty, loveless, or meaningless places in one’s life be filled with something real and something meaningful. In both cases, there is an interaction with individual psychological and spiritual motivations, and the actual landscape of one’s present life. In the case of military engagement, one can only wonder that there are not more post-traumatic stress reactions to the tragic and often unforeseen involvement in the killing of children and of innocent civilians during a military operation.

The values of the heart are those enhanced by the presence of spiritual light: peace, unity, love, compassion, generosity, forgiveness, and a desire to live in harmony with others. These values may come up in contrast to the outrages of war – the horrors that cannot be put out of mind or heart regarding what one witnessed, felt, or took part in. Though of less dramatic intensity and certainly of less violent impact – the meaninglessness of a life lived without the full measure of love, joy, or a sense of deeper connection with oneself or others, can also bring to awareness the sorrow of loss - of a hole that needs to be filled. At bottom, depression fosters a yearning for a spiritual, energetic, emotional, and relationship healing that can only take place if one is aware that it is needed.

The increased rise in depression in developed countries may, by some, be attributed to more proficient and earlier diagnostic capabilities, the availability of a wider array of treatment options including an entire pharamaceutical industry devoted to treating the symptoms of depression. Both of these are, indeed, contributing factors, but only address the symptomatic picture – the symptomatic expression of depression, not its cause. To look at the cause, nationwide or worldwide, one must look at the changing inner landscape of what people value and what they find missing.

Depression (and also post-traumatic stress) is a teacher, a signal, an announcer, that something needs to be addressed within one’s life that has not been addressed. It is a calling of the spirit for an increased awareness of what is missing. Although on an outer level, it may seem that what is missing is practical and tangible – such as a job, more money, adequate housing, or improved prospects for the future, on an inner level, at least for many, these may still only be ‘signposts’ to what the real cause of depression is.

Depression, as a teacher, tells us that something essential is missing within life that needs to be found. Often, one can fill the outer elements of life with a job, greater security, relationships with others, and still it remains. Because, as a collective human family, we still do not think of spiritual causes in relation to physical symptoms, we continue, for the moment, to look at the neuro-biology of depression as its explanation. We study higher cortical functioning, understand the work of neuro-transmitters, and think we understand what causes depression. However, the level of the physical is, without exception, activated by the level of consciousness in which spiritual, moral, and emotional values reside. Therefore, in an analysis of the future, we will not view neuro-biology as a cause of depression, but itself as a symptom. We will, at that time, look to the domain of spiritual energy and spiritual consciousness as the primary cause for physical and biological conditions.

For the present, we are still immersed in material explanations for a material world. We still explain the physical by the physical. As the world changes in its understanding of spiritual reality, depression, post-traumatic stress, and, indeed, all physical disorders will come to be seen to be energetically based, and new forms of healing will develop in order to treat them.

For individuals today, and before such a collective development takes place, it is important to understand the ‘signal’ function of depression and the wisdom of the body that is trying to convey something important from the soul. Though society may not be ready, individuals may be ready to bring their lives into greater balance and harmony, restoring to both the body and the consciousness a spiritual energy of love, hope, and unity, that for many has been missing for a long time and on a very deep level.

The Grace of Divine Light

...all debts shall be paid in the grace of Divine light..."
This is a meditation for our time, Beloveds, for it is not only that healing is taking place and karmic 'debts' are being paid, it is also that healing is taking place "in the grace of Divine light." What this means is that no matter how difficult the past may have been or the future may appear, the same light that is bringing to the fore all that is in need of healing, is simultaneously carrying one over and through whatever obstacles may be created as a result of this process.

The problem for many is the absence of the feeling of being carried. This creates a sadness and sense of aloneness of varying degrees of intensity, depending on how strong the absence of feeling may be. For those enduring through this empty place, 'knowing' and the truth of one's being must be relied on rather than feeling, until the covering over the actual perception of light may be lifted.

That this is possible is a tribute to the way in which each heart is made. It is a reason to not be afraid. For even if the mind doubts and the emotions forget, the deepest heart which is the seat of the soul remains in its place of truth, knowing that love is the foundation of life and the foundation of each individual's life. Because of this, the heart can remain strong and the inner being can remain faithful. Pray to feel a connection with this inner being and inner knowing. It is there.

Amen.

Ribbons of Change

As a ribbon may be unwound from a ball which it is wrapped around, so, too, do ribbons of change take place within the human body and heart, as each strand of consciousness in need of healing becomes exposed to the light of day.

The further exposure of things that one thought were fully healed is not meant to be a reason for discouragement, but a path toward understanding that what is healed in the present is healed for all time; what is healed in the present summarizes all previous lifetimes in which that same 'ribbon' played a part.

The miracle of this time of light is that the unknown and unknowable sub-currents of human motivation and feeling can now be separated out and seen for what they are - efforts at self-protection or self-support that were limited in truth but that were all that seemed possible at the time.

Beloveds, embrace the healing that is now possible, for all lives are coming together in this life, the past is being summarized now, and all debts can be paid in the grace of Divine light.

Opening of the Lotus

  A time of awakening, of opening, of seeing
what has not been seen so clearly before.
Light is bringing all things into focus -
those we wish to see and those we would
rather not see.
Believe in the goodness of this time.
What has been concealed shall be revealed.
