It Appears Out of Our Yearnings for Light

On January 1 the first chapters of the final book of this trilogy started to unfold. As always Robert hopes to begin these offerings on a number one day and complete them likewise. I imagine that the powers that be, the voices that resound through the portal of future days, find that an appealing concept as well, for the flow of words always seems to burst forth like clockwork on the first of the month and this was no exception. Whether it’s a subconscious direction or the creative winds of time finding its place in the geometry of expression we are grateful to have this next chapter of Our Story. It is still too early in the process for me to post any of this information, and out of respect for Robert and O and the council directing these transmissions I will refrain from offering any words or opinions directed to this new topic.

I will, however, give voice to something that is relevant now, in this year of transcendence and new beginnings. Behind all the hoopla of new elections and decisions of leadership there are those unknown voices that work magic for the consciousness of the planet. These avatars of the day hold pure energy in their meditations and direct this energy into the consciousness of humanity to help lift the veil of ignorance. These avatars are not the gurus of the east, as once they were, but a new breed of enlightened souls. Now that the east and west have exchanged their best ideals it is common to all of us that humanity has become one force and the enlightened ones move throughout the world community with a single purpose, to bring us through to this newly evolved environ. 

 

OM has been silent for a long time. I wonder what he’s been thinking. Then I realize, probably nothing at all. He has simply been feeling and noticing. This is the vigilan way that I came to know in my brief immersion. Thought comes into vigilan awareness only when invited and when useful—not as in the human mind. We are awash in near continuous thought. I muse, It must be tiring for vigilans to have a human around—me, with my incessant thinking and worrying.

“It is tiring,” you answer my thought. “But we take no offense. It is part of what we signed on for in this project. Nevertheless, I would not like to live in your world, surrounded as you are by such a continuous barrage of thoughts, words, and information. The microwaves, radio and transmissions in the air would be very disturbing to us. Our world is a space of great peace by comparison.”

Suddenly I realize I’ve never asked a very important question. “Is there a difference between your time and the new universe?” Continue reading

Happy New Life – 2012, A Life Of Utter Transcendence

So here we go. The end of a long dusty road [cough...] of soul awakening experiences and the beginning of a new age of Light Encompassing Life. It’s been tough going for the light workers of this realm of ignorance. From the inspiring orations of Barack Obama to the intuitive murmurs of our awakened teachers, we have been asleep to the need for co-creating a new world of consciousness. No “One” alone can transform the ignorance that has been part of our existence. We as a species must direct the intention of all to be successful in diminishing the ignorance of our minds. And here is our chance. Looking ahead to the magic that sits waiting for our acceptance at the end of this notable year. Not only the end of a period in time, but the beginning of our greatest challenge. To drop the veils that bind us and surrender to the Cosmic Thunder that roars for our attention. 

I searched for something to usher in the New Life and decided that Letter Seventeen “Three More Suggestions” would give us all the inspiration we need. A toast to you all. With love and honor and appreciation I bow to you. Blessings…

 

“Several letters ago, you gave me three suggestions for living through the Great Storm. Can you give me any more?”

Yes. That’s what I was just preparing to do. We are synchronizing more and more. Have you noticed? This is what I anticipated from the beginning. You are learning to read between the lines. Here are three more suggestions, which are follow-ups to each of the three I started with:

1) As you improve your capacity to actively notice what you are feeling and thinking, and what is happening around you, turn that noticing into the expansion of awareness. Invite into your being a new openness and allowing that will begin to dissolve barriers around the little self. The focus of this is the release of your identity with form, and that which is separate from the Cosmos.

You may use noticing as a technique within your meditations. Observe, for instance as you sit still, that there are holes within the fabric of your thinking. There are occasional brief pauses in the streams of thought. There are openings between all the streams as well, loopholes if you will.

Use your imagination to zoom down to microscopic levels in these holes. There, if you are patient, you will recognize what we call points of peace. Now apply your awareness to these points. Center in on them. Relax into their spaciousness. They feel enormously peaceful. When you enter their orbits, you feel blanketed by the most refreshing and calming influence. If you do this, you will find that they are not only supremely serene, but they are also internal power generators of great abundance. Continue reading

Letter Forty-Two “Naïveté”

I see the world through eyes of hope. The possibilities shimmering in the distance as I squint my eyes to see. This is not an ideal or a utopian dream, but a potential, emerging through the actions of the newly awakened hearts and minds. This potential turns to solid ground as we stand in the midst of power relegated to descendants of unconsciousness. For as the heart abounds in purity and the mind sees a greater future, the descendants of a dying philosophy are becoming weaker and weaker. There is hope now.

“Humanity has huge problems, don’t get me wrong. But your collective soul is strong. It is pure. All souls are pure, of course. But for your species, with the destiny to lift itself out of darkness and unconsciousness, the soul purity becomes illumined. That’s what beguiles me about all of you.”

“I thought we failed to do that! You’ve always said we didn’t become conscious.”

“True, but you did lift yourselves up. That self-lifting quality is the most important gift of humanity. Your ultimate success was your transmutation into my kind. And many humans found ways of being compassionate and altruistic, even while ego dominated their personalities. This has always touched vigilans. And it was this side of humanity that was worth saving and instilling into the next species. All that goodness that kept shining through was what we kept. Conscious Evolution tossed out the rest.”

In the Face of Oneness

This topic seems to haunt me on a regular basis. I ponder it all the time and have moments of sensation into its state. But it is elusive for us at present and yet it seems the only solution for our ailing egos. This is not the first posting of this message nor will it be the last. It must be important to our existence so here is another go.

“What does ‘Oneness’ really mean to you? Why do you use that word so much? How are we to relate to it?”

“Thank you. Oneness is the vehicle for awakening. There is no other way to move beyond your current state of consciousness and your ego-world, than by entering and riding this vehicle. It is the presence of us all, united, sharing and grouping. And yet, it is far beyond that as well. It is union before union, the center before the circle; it is formlessness before the form. Verily, it is the form of formlessness. All radiance comes within its spark. Its fire ignites the passion of our charge. With Oneness we will cross the great divide and find the passage through the eye of the Storm.

“Oneness touches everything, feels everything, is everything. Yet it is not just this. It is also the Void and the Source and the Presence and the Voice. There is no concept that it is not. And yet there is no concept for what it truly is. In the meat of paradox it converges, albeit glancingly, with our earthly comprehension. To know it, to experience it, you may fly to the farthest reaches of your imagination and wisdom, or you may dive down into the fibers of your essence, in the moment, the ordinary station of your steps upon this Earth. It is everywhere you would seek to find it. But beware, what seems to be, is not real. Your seeking keeps you from truly seeing.

A Sister’s Eulogy for Steve Jobs

Robert sent me this article yesterday from the NY Times and I find need to link it here for all to read. There is a brutal biography, newly penned by Walter Isaacson, about Jobs the tyrannical leader, but this is the other side, less known and less understood, except for his family. I find the last page so moving it brought tears to my eyes. I hope it elevates the waves in your heart as well.

“Governance” Letter Fifteen – part two

Can we possibly come to terms with each other and transcend all ideology? It may not be entirely possible during our present state of being, but we can work on our egocentric ways and find a common-ground to expand upon. Cooperation is the key here. We can do it. Let us stop thinking with our guts and move into the heart center just for a brief moment. Once we allow our heart to direct the rules of debate we will arrive at a commonsense approach to cooperative understanding and a bolstering of the great societal strength our Founding Fathers once dreamed of. Here is the final piece of the new state of leadership “Governance.”

…There are many more nations now than in your day. I don’t know the exact number, but it must be in the thousands. There are many more small nations. The ones that were larger have divided and reconfigured into more compact and efficient sizes, usually along the lines of geography and common heritage. However, even with more nations, we maintain our shared Source of Life. Diversity, absent ego structures, contributes to wholeness rather than divisiveness. We live the ideal of unity through diversity.

Each nation is unique, with its particular customs, languages, and institutional forms. At the same time, each participates fully in the outer life of the planet. We are in accord with our global awareness. Internationally, we all have one common language, as I mentioned before. Most nations are republics now, with parliamentary-type systems. Many are structured as interactive hierarchies of representation. Normally, there are from five to seven levels, depending on the size of the population. The voice of the people is thus heard at all levels, directly and efficiently. Continue reading

“Governance” Letter Fifteen – It is happening before our very eyes – part one

It is so interesting how aligned with the book the present situation is becoming throughout the world. The “Arab Spring” instigated a movement of anarchy against the “tyrant” that has ballooned into full-fledged distrust and disgust. And as the consciousness of this movement made its way westward, we find ourselves in the midst of a growing movement against a similar tyrant the “Corporatocracy.”  The “OWS” [Occupy Wall Street] protestors are an example of the people rising up with a more enlightened nuance regarding the division within the species. They have been castigated and ridiculed for lack of message and lack of leadership. This is what makes this movement so pure and invigorating. It will be the new generations that transforms the stale way of life we have been accustomed to for so long. It will be this evolved DNA that will push our species beyond the level of Homo Sapien and into the next advanced organic mutation. Through this state of Enlightened Anarchy we will move into the Great Beings we are destined to become. 

So now, as we see the tyrants fall from their pedestals of shame, we can take heart in our future. There is only greatness to become of this. Five hundred years from now our new incarnations will look at this time as the catalyst that brought about the New Age of Enlightenment. 

It is with joy that I present this prophetic Letter Fifteen, “Governance,” to you. I will present it in two parts so you can absorb the ideas herein. It is deep and controversial, and you will need to read it again and again to comprehend the underlying thoughts, without your ego attachments. May the waves of peace rain/reign on the protest and may the illumined mind direct the outcome.

 

“Change can’t come soon enough for me, O.”

I know. I hear you. But I repeat, hang on. And notice what’s happening. This too shall pass.

“Thank you. Your words do help. Let me switch away from this personal morbidity now and ask you something I’ve wanted to know ever since the start of these letters. I think this might be the right time finally. You just mentioned change. How has government changed in 500 years? You said there are nations and congresses, commissions and plebiscites. What other institutions do you have? How does it work? Oh yes, and I’m curious to hear what you would say about the future of my own country. What is the lifetime of the United States on the world stage? Are we still one of the nations?”

Is that all? Not a small topic. But let’s get started. I hasten to add that, while I know this is important to you, it is not so important to me. It is only tangential to my purpose in writing these letters, to tell you this kind of thing. I do not want you to think that I’m telling you what kind of politics you should have. I am not here to tell you what you should do in any area of life. I only offer information and space, along with a few suggestions.

With that caveat, I will commence by saying our forms of governance are oriented toward the small. Our communities are small, our governments are small, and our politics are small. This is to say, local, participatory and representative at every level. And even though we do have various levels of authority, our overarching form is, in a word, anarchy. But it is an awakened anarchy! Continue reading

“The Grace of Freedom” an excerpt from Letter Thirty-Seven

It was brought to my attention yesterday that my previous post, “Enough of the Mass Debate,” strayed far from the inspiring posts of the past, as it sounded like a stump within the political world game. The person who reminded me of this has been a staunch supporter of this site and a well-respected adviser, whispering gems of wisdom in my ear when I tended to go astray. In my response to him I noted that activism is a choice we make to manifest a more expansive motion and it has legs in all realms of consciousness if it sets a new tone for advancement of the species. Even our greatest prophets realized that many could not accept “lofty gems” of wisdom, which only resonates within the highest minds and hearts, but that it necessitates metaphors or allegories to entrust understanding in those with less of an awakened being.

It is difficult for us to live only in a state of spiritual sensibility and not be effected by the general noise that blasts from our airwaves. Those who choose to physically march the halls of injustice are honored by the sidewalk supporters cheering on the valiant warriors. Both are living their destined calls and both add to the enhancement of the movement. Some of us are destined to support from the pages of inspiration that pour from the heart’s most sincere acknowledgments, and this is how we see the story told.

But today I hope to re-inspire those who linger within the message of “Letters.” Here is an excerpt from “The Grace of Freedom,” Letter Thirty-Seven:

“The body is important,” I agree. “No doubt about it. But modern, materialism wants us to believe the body and brain create consciousness, that there’s nothing more to us than that. This, I know, is not what you’re saying.”

“Your society is ill-informed. But that doesn’t matter; it does not negate the virtue of the physical-etheric vehicle. The incarnate body is integral with all deeper consciousness. It’s own instinctual wisdom tells it of this connection; there is no real separation. The body knows it does not create consciousness; but rather is a vital, essential projection of it.”

“Last night I watched a spiritual film that wanted to make the point that we are not our bodies. What do you say to this seeming contradiction?”

“We are what we are not! The only contradiction is in the mind. Acceptance of Oneness within us resolves all opposites, all doubts. What the message was intending, I’m sure, is that there is a transcendent aspect of our being that exists in its own realm, before and after the body exists. The body comes and goes in the flow, as a form. But while it exists, that form embodies and exemplifies our wholeness, if we would look for it there. Of course, we can deny it or abuse it; that is our prerogative under the system of free will. One does this at his peril, however. A body abused is a body divided from its authentic nature.

Letter Thirty-Six “Body” (part two)

When I posted this final segment of Letter Thirty-Six this morning I did so without my usual introduction. I was about to leave for a short stint in Vermont and wanted to get this post up before I left. And then I received an email from Robert regarding the first segment posted two days ago. His alignment with my words was uplifting. He does comment on my posts from time to time, but his response this time was heartfelt and empowering. I want to offer him gratitude now for the messages he has selflessly brought to the surface of the mind. I know that some lives have changed because of it. I also know that Robert would find this gratitude wasted if I did not give proper due to the real author of these words -”O.”

We know she is watching and listening to every beat of our heart and every voicing of our words. So thank you O, for this, and all that you bring to a new world filled with our authentic selves.

There is a silence now. I wait, absorbing what you’ve said. I can actually sense my future being very close. Then an intuitive spark pushes words to my pen. I ask, “I’m feeling it, O. And, no doubt, the second suggestion is related to non-resistance.”

“Yes. Obviously, there is plenty of opportunity for resistance to creep up in the example we just used.”

I answer, “You could say the whole thing started with resistance. Isn’t irritation a form of resistance?”

“Remember that the root of the word ‘resist’ is sistere, ‘to stop’. It is energy directed at stopping the existence of what is—that is, energy directed at negating itself. Irritation, on the other hand, is a reaction. In its direct, pure form, it is simply an excitement of the system. It does not imply a negative response until the mind is engaged and judging. The answer, thus, is yes and no. For the mind, irritation is separating and polarizing. But for the body there is no separation. And there is an opportunity here to expand awareness in the encounter. Irritation opens the awareness; resistance closes it down; it cuts off appreciation.” Continue reading
