The Beauty and Peace in Ruins

“If you are renewed by grace, and were to meet your old self, I am sure you would be very anxious to get out of his company.” ― Charles H. Spurgeon

 

Our original Nature reclaims what the ego has constructed and which, being based on illusion, falls into disrepair.

As identification with the outer world of appearances falters, space is created for the inner light to shine through and restore consciousness to its original nature.

“For within your flesh, deep within the center of your being, is the undaunted, waiting, longing, all-knowing. Is the ready, able, perfect. Within you, waiting its turn to emerge, piece by piece, with the dawn of every former test of trial and blackness, is the next unfolding, the great unfurling of wings, the re-forged backbone of a true Child of Light.” ― Jennifer DeLucy

 

The Divine Tool of Negative Judgement

By P'taah

Channelled through Jani King, 9 March 2015

P'taah: Greetings, my beloved ones! It is with great delight that we join you this day to talk about judgement. And indeed we know that in your so-called learning, you have been taught that negative judgement is wrong and that if you practice the judgement you will never get to heaven, eh?

Well, we say to you that negative judgement really is your divine tool and a grand opportunity to come to know who you are. Let us explain further. For as long as you are trying not to come forth with negative judgement, the more you are trying to keep it at bay, to resist the doing of negative judgement, the more you will find yourself in that place. Because as we have so often told you, "Whatever you resist, will persists absolutely."

So we say to you that you can come into the realisation of that which you all desire called enlightenment as the result, the natural result, of learning who you are and loving every facet of you absolutely.

Well, most of you really have no idea about who you are, although you are learning as you come more and more into expansion. And, depending on your emotional reaction and judgement, we say to you that it is in your Nows that you are coming to identify those facets of you that have thus far been hidden. Does that make sense to you?

So when you find yourself in a place of negative judgement and when you catch yourself in that moment, ask yourself, "What is it that I am really feeling here?" Because as you are in that negative judgement about something outside of you, then indeed what is occurring is that you are in reaction to something that you are judging about how you are or there is some fear that has not been dealt with.

So when you can find yourself in that place of negative judgement, bless it absolutely because it is your divine tool for expansion, for the knowing of where you are, for the unfoldment of who you are. Then you will find that more and more, you come to the habitude of being in the Now and paying attention to that which you are judging and 'How does it feel?' so you are allowing yourself to be more accepting of every facet of you and coming closer and closer to the yearning in your heart to become the most that you could possibly be. All right, be there questions because it is by your query that you indeed can come more into the knowing, at least intellectually, at this time.

Q: I tend to have a lot of judgement when I am with people I feel good with or if I'm in a nice environment. I'm just wondering. Does it matter if a person is with a meditation group for instance or with a group which is away from a negative environment? Is it better or does it not matter which way you live your life?

P'taah: It does not. It does not matter how or where you live your life. The only thing that is significant is, 'How does it feel Now?' You see, because as you say, you find it very easy to become bad tempered and what we call on a short fuse and to view your world through the lens of your anxiety. And that is all right. The point we are making is, do not make judgment wrong but rather use it. Utilize the judgement to come to the further understanding of who you are.

Q: So it can be even a more valuable tool by not avoiding it, but by joining some groups where you are never really home?

P'taah: Oh, beloved! We promise you that it does not matter what group you are with. Whatever is not aligned will come forth to be aligned. You understand?

Q: No matter where?

P'taah: No matter where. No matter what.

Q: Oh, I understand.

P'taah: You see? And so what we are saying is that which you judge outside of you is merely a reflection of what is occurring inside, an emotional record. You see?

Q: And it follows you around wherever you go? In other words, no matter where I place myself, something outside of me, if that is not aligned, will come up and I will have to align it?

P'taah: Absolutely. Well, you do not 'have' to. But as we have said to you so often, if you will not deal with those issues, they will keep coming forth and coming forth and eventually you will say, "I am tired of creating the same old scenarios and bringing forth the same old feelings." You will take the responsibility that it is YOU who is creating it all through your fears, through your beliefs about yourself, and that you regard the outside world through the lens of those beliefs and fears, and indeed the joys and desires too. You see? In this instance we are only talking about that which is negative but of course you also bring forth that which is wondrous and joyous and that manifests that which makes your heart sing. Hmm? The universe does not judge this one a good one and this one a bad one. But it will support the energy that you are putting forth whether it is fear or love, all right?

Q: So we will learn through that process to favor loving that so that it can be aligned and we can bring forth more joy and see more joy?

P'taah: (Softly) Indeed.

Q: Thank you, P'taah.

Restoring Love’s Power

By Goddess Isis

Channelled through Natalie Glasson 9 October 2014

Welcome beloved beings of light, holding all the elements of the Earth and the inner planes, you are the power houses of this universe. You are in a space and positioned upon the Earth to give a new zest of power to the perspectives of all, relinquishing the power of the Creator into its natural flowing presence. You have the capability to access the power of the Creator returning and reuniting this sacred essence to its original purpose. Where love is present power is present. You are creating love within your being and upon the Earth, providing for all the Era of Love thus you are creating a new form of power for all to experience and remember as their truth.

Like a large ugly snake rearing its head from the depths of darkness from where it has been banished to, you may experience your own inner power activating and rising with great strength within your being. This strength may be overwhelming, over powering and vast, causing you to crumble under its weight. You may look into the eyes of the snake seeing only ugliness, feeling resentment, betrayal and distrust. You may seek to push the snake back to the depths of your being with the perception it now longer has a place or a space in your loving life. The perceived large ugly snake symbolising the darkness of power asks you with your enhanced and expansive loving heart to take a moment and gaze into the snakes eyes with a single intention of acceptance. The snake symbolising your power and the power of the Creator asks only for your acceptance and gentle love. It doesn’t wish to cause chaos, mistrust or fear as you might perceive and simply wishes to support and stabilise the greater presence of love within your being. Take a moment to accept the snake’s loving greatness and you will accept your own power as it transforms from a snake of darkness to you as your ultimate supreme self of love. You realise you have been denying an aspect of yourself, causing yourself pain and suffering on so many levels of your being. Now is the time for forgiveness and acceptance of all aspects of your being, this is the truth of your love, it is the lessons of the Era of Love which cannot be denied or side stepped in anyway.

Now is the time to recognise you are a power house a source of gentle loving power as you realise that power and love are one and the same when accepted and honoured equally. It is only you, beings upon the Earth who can send out this new perspective and energy of loving power, it is your purpose, if you choose it to be, to change the perceptive within humanity’s consciousness to love is power and power is love.

‘I am the power of love, my power is love,’ a sacred affirmation many have aligned with in the past, while others have ridiculed and buried in favour of the dark side of power.

Lana Turner (as ‘Samarra’) in The Prodigal, 1955

Relinquish the dark snake of power within you and let it see love once more as if it is the sun shining upon its face instigating deep transformation. Repeating the affirmation will allow this process to take place, especially if practiced in meditation with the intention of accepting your inner power and restoring it to its natural existence within and as the presence of love.

Love has been hindered for some time as it has not been able to be fully present as a whole energy because its power had been misused and banished, now is the time to restore the love of the Creator within your being, consciousness, the Earth, humanity and the consciousness of humanity to bring forth a new wave of love. This new wave of love will allow many, especially those we are ready to accept the power of love. What is the power of love? You are the carrier of love, the keeper and transmitter of the power of love; you have this answer within you. The power of love is the intensity of love beyond anything experienced or possibly imagined; it is limitless in its intensity. Can you imagine feeling loved and expressing love so much so that you experienced a divine graceful intensity of love beaming from you, then you double, quadruple and multiple the experience a million times, you wouldn’t even come close to experiencing the intensity and power of the Creator’s love; and yet it will be awe inspiring. Your belief in love and all its multifaceted abilities, gifts and tools would be magnified and would emanate from your being, naturally inspiring others to accept their own love and then the power of their love.

The Era of Love encourages you to accept, embody and use love in your reality thus creating deep meaningful loving experience which mirror the Creator while releasing all that no longer serves you. Within this experience you welcome the golden gift, the ability to recognise, use and experience the power of love, charging everything so more love can be created. Your belief will soar and the important aspect is that you will truly be living a life and reality of love because you will have accessed the embodiment and truth of love. Such a transformational and confirming experience which brings you back to the centre of the truth of the Creator, allowing you to express to all of the Earth and the universe of the Creator the new consciousness of love and power united.

With the greater presence of love upon the Earth and within your being you may see power rising which at first may manifest as power struggles. Everything experienced within you often needs to be experienced outside of you in your physical reality as this is where you play with the energy, deciding what is aligned to your being and soul and what is not. Power struggles between people and countries beyond your reality may be evident, power struggles between people or yourself in your own reality may also arise and of course power struggles within your being, in the mind, emotions and even in the heart chakra. My intention is not one of creation, it is my wish to bring forth a compassionate awareness as the power of love is returned and restored, and acceptance is the key. If you recognise any form of power struggle within your being, reality or worldwide reality be consciously aware of it.

First bless the situation because it is evidence that love is reclaiming its power.

Secondly accept the presence of power with a loving open mind and heart.

Thirdly try to understand what area, aspect or quality of power is being restored in oneness with love once more.

Fourthly let go of the physical manifestation and envisage the source of love of the Creator and you, being united with its power. Imagine love like a person filled with pink soft light, so gentle and mild, then imagine love’s power as another light person of a red colour so fiery and strong. The soft pink light body and the fiery red light body embrace and become one, they rejoice in their restoration of their energy. We see a single light body person which is a mixture of pink and red light, love finally has its power restored and love is emanating its new found energy with intensity. This is a beautiful vision to imagine as it will also restore the same within your being as a deep healing. Let love be reunited with its power as this is the process occurring on the Earth and within all beings now.

Give yourself permission to let go of the fear of power, it belongs with love and was born from love and so now must be restored in order for further ascension. Do not let the power struggles, conflicts, wars, arguments and resistance seen within your worldwide reality dictate to you fear, negativity or even create the perception that love has not manifested, this is to misinterpret the influential and sacred process of love awakening occurring within all now. Power and love are returning to their natural unity and you are present upon the Earth now to recognise this, sustaining a positive and truthful outlook which emanates from you being comforting and supporting all in times of drastic change, transformation and shifts upon the Earth and within all.

Your thoughts and perspective impact the world in a very powerful way, you bring comfort and healing to minds and hearts choosing to be carried away and wrapped up in fear due to habit. You are creating a new consciousness for humanity with every thought you create, every truthful perspective you hold and every deeper understanding you accept. Your acceptance and willingness to see the truth and the process of ascension with compassion and love beyond fear and suffering is what is carving and manifesting the New Era of Love for all to experience. You are important now, so let the darkness of power be relinquished so love may be restored with its power rather than separated like two lovers yearning to be as one. It is time to accept your role upon the Earth and in every step of this ascension process which you are steering.

With the unity of love and power within my being, I extend my blessings,

Goddess Isis

Excerpt from 

'Stepping into 2015 as Multilayered Beings of Inclusiveness'

The Messages From God Channelled through Yael and Doug Powell, 14 January 2015

This is the time when you become multi-layered beings. When you are available to recognize all the things that are happening at once. Where you can dance as a human being, participate in the storyline of the world that you choose, while all the while being completely awake to your open heart rejoicing in your limitless true nature and participating in the great cosmic movement of Love.

All of life is part of this great creativity. And because I Am creative, beloved ones, so is every quark. Every tiny part of the spectrum of energy is a creative engine creating with Love. So the only thing that has been missing, or out of alignment, is the mis-perception that there is anything but Love. The ideation that there can be a world of darkness now, beloved ones, is meant to come to an end. You, as humankind, may rejoice in being the creative heart of God, taking delight in every aspect of the movement of Love and dancing it forth as a wondrous performance. The great romance of God as I discover more of Myself…

So enter this year as an open heart and a limitless consciousness. Be aware that Love is creating itself here as you. Make the choice to be absolutely unlimited. And then approach every moment as an explorer who is waiting to find the next unfolding of beauty.

So step into this year as a conscious creative heart choosing to live beyond the ego-mind. To instead be the powerful vortex of Love that meets every projection, every thought of duality and instantly performs the translation and becomes the vehicle of transformation into the experience of only good, only God and only limitless possibility…

Thus, beloved ones, you can dance with every moment as it arises. You can meet the perfection of Love in absolutely everything. You can experience this endless bounty, this wondrous true prosperity. You can rejoice in this wonderful life in which everything is possible. And you can leave behind the human identity that you have carried for so long. For the time to be free is here. 2015 is the year of awakening consciousness and the glorious power of Love.

So, beloved ones, when you recognize that you are everything, that this now moment is pregnant with limitless possibilities, you don't have to choose either/or anymore, but can embrace with your heart this holy and endless inclusiveness of which everything is vibrant with life and you are my prayer of gratitude.

Monstaville Book III. Chapter 3

3

Yes! To this thought I hold with firm persistence;

the last result of wisdom stamps it true;

he only earns his freedom and existence

Who daily conquers them anew.

- Goethe.

13 May 2008.

My friend, the butterfly in boots aka Elphie the Witch, stomps around upstairs a few times a day plus every night around the same time now. I’m working every day at the library so I went to bed early last night and I was relieved that she was out so I could get to sleep. But, she came home around 11 p.m. She didn’t wear shoes for a while so, again, I felt grateful that I was going to be allowed to go to sleep in good time. Then, however, El Phaba put some shoes on and walked around for just a minute around 11.30 p.m. before going to bed! It’s the kind of thing the people next door would do, ensure that the noise was delivered on time. She herself is not working at the moment so perhaps her habits have changed for the time being, but this is very strange behaviour.

This has all coincided with me typing up the journal notes for Monstaville and the solution to all this harassment is plain to see. I hope the wisdom gleaned from various sources is helpful to its readers. It’s not my wisdom, but something I, too, am learning. The lesson is: transcend your ego and respond to hostility and animosity with positive energy, thought and behaviour/action. The Self shines lovingly and warmly, radiating positive vibes like the Sun (love/power). We must be like the Sun as Master Aïvanhov and others have counselled. Another lesson, perhaps, is not to focus on the experiences I want to eradicate from my life but on sweeter aspects of life. Abraham says that Esther and Jerry Hicks had tried to correct the bogus information about them on Wikipedia but the original material kept reappearing. After playing this game a few times, the people who were fixing it for them were banned from Wikipedia and couldn’t do anything on it anymore. “And we were explaining that, when you shine a spotlight on something that you do not want, it must get bigger. It must get bigger. It is law. So, when people talk about healing, sometimes, without meaning to, they shine a spotlight on the illness. That’s all we’re saying…make sure where your spotlight is shined. If you shine the spotlight on something you don’t want, it will get bigger, it is law.” (www.abraham-hicks.com). Having said that, my difficulties with the next-door neighbours date back much further than these books or even the journal entries although I was certainly relating my woes to friends.

‘If you judge or belittle yourself you are lying because you are beautiful. When you tell everyone you don’t have any money you magnify that. Stop sharing news you don’t like. Share news you like. Be honest. Share the beauty of sunrise and its energy will glow into where it can, for example, your bank account. Stop having pity parties. Celebrate yourself. Honour the truth. Fault-finding is honouring lies because it is illusion. Beauty is truth. Let go of your past. Own your beauty this moment. Do this exercise with someone or in the mirror. Pray to the divine to come forth. Tell the truth about each other. It magnifies the magic. Your life will change without doing anything. Everything outside of you will change into that which you acknowledge within you. No one will do it for you. You hold the key. Visualise an energy beam from your heart to others’ hearts.’ (Notes from ‘Who Are the Ascended Masters?’ a talk by St. Germain and the Ascended Masters channelled through Ashamarae McNamara, 12 June 2009, www.awakeningfromwithin.com).

One thing that is helping me to achieve this goal of being a Light right now, apart from the fact that the Fabled Fabala and I have had friendly relations in the past, is that I am sharing the ultra-powerful healing energy coming through me for my sister with my neighbours (all of them). So the timing is interesting. My sister has had a serious operation and I am sending healing to her but the spirit supplying the energy is more powerful than I have ever known before. Each time I finish sending the energy, I ask if some energy can be sent to my neighbours and if some can be used to heal me - because it’s such a powerful and abundant source of healing energy! It’s these powerful energies that human beings require to be uplifted and know themselves and express their potential on a higher level. So, I am satisfied that this energy could have a positive influence on the situation. I have faith that it can produce a peaceful resolution. The love and energy I have previously sent to my tormentors has not been terribly effective but this force is encouraging and, besides, I have to send it to my sister each day for some time because she needs it [Note: this energy only arrived for three days because my sister needed it. After that it was back to a much, much lower frequency]. Sending them love always made them worse immediately, which I found too demoralising. I tried it on several occasions and was quite startled and extremely disappointed by the results. Needless to say, I gave up on that notion. I ought, however, to have persisted and sent it every day, partly to get some distance from my own aggressive responses. I guess it depends to whom one sends love energy.

August update.

I sensed that the reason our chats were discontinued was that Loli Phaba’s boyfriend had a problem with our friendship, but, then, why was it OK before? They ended when I offered to make some shelves for her last year, which I painted deep red, and she insisted that her boyfriend put them up after I also offered to do that. I have only met him on one occasion, quite recently, and he gave me a filthy look! Fear or mistrust? Jealousy or insecurity? I was in the front garden and Loli left the door open for me. ‘Is it safe?’ I asked, teasingly as I made my way indoors. She smiled and said that it was. It has all quietened down now but there’s still some stomping around in shoes each day. One day, I asked El Phaba to print off a timetable for a job I was due to do since I don’t have Excel. She said she would do it in the morning but then said I go to bed late so she did it that evening instead. My going to bed late had nothing to do with it since she could just leave it by my door. It is possible that this was a campaign that became pointless because, since I now go to bed late, I can’t be kept awake anymore. This means that it may have continued beyond the three months that I had a job which started early in the mornings. Who knows?

October update.

All quiet on the Western Front! There is NO stomping around in shoes upstairs (and I never mentioned it). It’s just the way it was for the first year of her living here...except there are still heavy objects dropped on the floor late at night sometimes which never happened before.

I prefer to go with my friend’s judgement that it is purely ‘coincidental’ that Ms Thropp has been making so much noise at the same time I was under such extreme fire from the neighbours. 2008 has been a year of change and new beginnings for many people.

Intimidation can be directed subtly, enabling the perpetrator to appear and feel guiltless. Indeed, this is often the way bullies work: as I have noted previously, they might seek to exert pressure over a period of time in the hope that their target reacts and can then be accused of starting a fight.

A couple of friends claim that I’m simply paranoid! I mentioned this to another friend who has read some of the book. Here is her reply:

“You're not being paranoid, that's a real laff...um, my fucking neighbours are driving me to drink...they are sooo fucking noisy as I write this! What do they think they are the only ones who live here??? What fuckers, at best! Hope they all get eaten by big fat hungry aliens...bastards!!!!!!!! I hate living here!

                BUT I have my earphones on now and have the music cranked up full volume so I can't hear them right now....I'll do this till they are finally eaten by those hungry aliens, hahaha.....”

"On the sixth day, God turned to the angel Gabriel and said, 'Today I am going to create a land called Canada. It will be a land of outstanding natural beauty, snow-capped mountains, beautiful blue lakes, forests of elk and moose, silver rivers full of salmon. With pure, clear air. I will make the country rich in oil and the people there shall prosper. They will be called Canadians, and become known as the friendliest people on earth.' 'Don't you think,' asked Gabriel, 'that you're being a bit over generous to one country?' 'Wait,' said God. 'You haven't seen the neighbours I'm going to land them with.'" - Laughter is the Best Medicine, The Reader's Digest Association Limited, London, U.K., 2005, p.104).

Regarding the harassment coming from next door, unless you have experienced this kind of thing on a regular basis you would not perhaps believe that people could behave in such a monstrous, proud but pathetic way. Most people see it as coincidence because that is the rational explanation which, alone, is very limiting because it is not accompanied either by direct personal experience or the intuitive intelligence to perceive and understand things on a deeper level. To be perfectly honest, I am not so sure that English people would come up with such subtle (sneaky) forms of psychological abuse that evades the law. On the whole, I think that we tend to repress and that we are our own worst enemy. When we express ourselves directly we are probably too afraid of the law to go far enough to be effective in such situations. Of course, there are those who do not have the strength or discipline to control their behaviour and end up in trouble, and many of those people are often the perpetrators of arguments, intimidation and violence I expect.

This is an issue that so many people are having to contend with even if they do not mention it until prompted. It is hard to convey to people, verbally at least. Really, short of having them change places or live with you for a year or two, you need them to see the record you have kept over a period of time. Unfortunately, that is just too long and tedious to include in this book! It does not matter if this aspect of my trials is paranoia on my part or not (it isn’t). This kind of thing happens and people need to know how to deal with it. Even if all of the experiences I have recorded in this book were imaginary, or pure fiction, the point is the lesson, what we can learn from such situations as these.

“On a level of simple personal survival, understanding and forgiveness are crucial...whether in an intimate personal relationship or on a global level.” - Edward Albert.

“Forgive your enemies - it messes with their heads.” - A church sign in the States. (And ‘kill them with kindness’ so they become dependent on you for it, as a friend adds).

“Acceptance and forgiveness. It’s the only tools we’ve got left.” – Bill Hicks (last performance).

“Life is an adventure in forgiveness.” – Norman Cousins (1912-1990).

“Love is an act of endless forgiveness.” - Peter Ustinov.

"Our life is shaped by our mind; we become what we think. Suffering follows as evil thought as the wheels of a cart follow the oxen that draw it. Our life is shaped by our mind; we become what we think. Joy follows a pure thought like a shadow that never leaves. He is angry with me, he attacked me, he defeated me, he robbed me - those who dwell on such thoughts will never be free from hatred…For hatred can never put an end to hatred; Love alone can. This is an unalterable law. People forget that their lives will end soon. For those who remember, quarrels come to an end soon." - Buddha.

I have included the above notes because, well, I wrote them! And, I write to try and understand things. It helps me think and work things out. I am not really that interested in getting to the bottom of it, however. I was curious. I just feel completely forgiving and appreciating the general peace that is here at the moment, hoping it lasts! Just thought you should know that! I am on the case, sending love and light to the next-door neighbours each time I meditate - taking no chances now! I should have done this all along. Ah, well, you live and learn. [Retrospective note: Yeah, this lasted until the TV torment that took off after Christmas. Haha].

“Nothing in life is to be feared, it is only to be understood. Now is the time to understand more, so that we may fear less.” - Marie Curie.

I eventually resorted throwing things out the back to make loud noises. These shock tactics were usually effective so I relied on them for extreme occasions when the harassment was unbearable. When you are unable to communicate with people directly because they are too proud and defensive (and when you are too shy and nervous to break that wall of resistance down) this can be the only means of communication open to you. You don’t have to do it aggressively or angrily. It is possible to communicate assertively with love. Any anger that is felt can be channelled this way too, transformed into power, and it can be fun too. My father called my behaviour childish. Well, my Inner Child certainly enjoyed it so, yes, I turned it into a game, something to enjoy (and win at) rather than a source of misery. [1]

Do things out of love, even for your enemies. Love them, entertain them, make them feel special. Let the Sun shine and the world is thine! Fighting back is a waste of time. Do it all for love but know it’s honey from a bee and bees they sting! It’s the sugar to take the medicine down. Make ‘em laugh, make ‘em sigh, think of everything that’ll make ‘em high. Open their hearts. Be proactive. Say ‘Hey, how ya doin’?’ Don’t tell ‘em to ‘fuck off.’ A few of my favourites: ‘Light my Fire’ by The Doors, ‘I Feel Good’ by James Brown and, if they’re keeping you awake, ‘If Only Tonight We Could Sleep’ by The Cure. The answers are within you.

Retrospective note, July 2009.

Achieving permanent peace evidently isn’t quite as simple as that! Finding solutions to the coughing campaign did not prevent my neighbours from finding other noisy ways of subjecting me to their ignorance. Here’s an entertaining update from my friend on her own situation:

“Aw fucking neighbours from hell...as u know, I've got sum of those as well...I just wanna fucking screem when I hear that aweful dog upstairs, running and barking at the newspaper boy when he drops the paper at their door at 5 a.m.!!!!!!!!!!  And the muslim asshole just across and one down from me watches fucking arabic tv in the middle of the night so I have to shut my windows bc he keeps it so fucking LOUD! Oh gods, help me!!!!!!!!!!”

Another friend of mine, whom I met in Camden one afternoon (and who is small in stature) asked her neighbour to do something about her noisy dogs (she had nine of the critters!) because they were keeping her awake at night. For this request she was struck hard across the face. She is now (a year later) on talking terms with the woman (who only has three dogs now so it’s quiet, she says!) and told her that she had hit her so hard that her jaw ached for a long time afterwards. It doesn’t sound like she got much sympathy.

“The victory is to be the most enduring.” - The Mother (Sri Aurobindo's 'Shakti').

Ironically, if you’re in a tight corner, you need to draw on a range of resources, to approach your predicament from as many angles as possible even. There is no single remedy to the situation. You’re trapped. You need to accept, breathe, release, cope, survive, stand up for yourself, be smart, try different strategies, mix them up, vary them, change and adapt with events, love yourself, love your enemy but not whilst denying you own divine right to peace and harmony, look, listen and learn, study, use your intuition, ask for help from the divine realms. In other words, you just live and express yourself fully as a multifaceted being in relation to this dilemma you’re facing. It is a test of strength and character. It can make you or, if you suppress uncomfortable or negative emotions, it can eventually explode in your face (and maybe everyone else’s) and break you. This is psychological torture over a long period that would make the CIA and MK-Ultra proud!

There are no solutions. There is only MANAGEMENT. You just have to make do. But, still, at least this prevents you from doing something drastic either to yourself or others.

“The attempt to express love for your enemy, the attempt to express understanding, is what counts. The attempt to express that you understand they are a part of God even though they may not understand you are a part of God.” – Bashar (channelled through Darryl Anka, www.bashar.org).

Retrospective insert.

Another fine mess.

“In the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia
On the trail of the lonesome Pine

In the pale moonshine our hearts entwine
Where you carved your name and I carved
mine.”

- Laurel and Hardy (chorus of ‘The Trail of the Lonesome Pine’ written by Ballard MacDonald and Harry Carroll, 1913).

I feel like a comparatively mature plant – an ‘old soul’ - in this world, one that has been transplanted at the wrong time of year or in an alien environment. The harsh climate of my youth quickly caused the leaves to perish, followed by the entire stem. Broken and then ‘dead to the world’ but existing in a cocoon of soil and compost beneath the ground, reflecting, studying, creatively, introspectively, waiting to find the inspiration and motivation to rise up towards the Sun again and out of the earth to full consciousness. And, this time, to actually flower!

My very soul rejected this society piecemeal! ‘I have seen enough,’ it said right there after the first six years of life, ‘and it’s not for me!’ And, then, over the years, during adolescence and adult life, it just observed more of the same old shit which served only to reinforce this belief. Sure, it was wise to see the outside world for what it was but it was unable to take this notion further and see through it for the illusion that it is. All those tears locked away, locked in fear and taking life too seriously. Sure, because my Inner Child knew what it wanted and it was at odds with society.

Even after all these years, I have never been able to get on top of the outside world and provide the conditions that my soul needs in order to thrive and be at peace. Life has been one long endurance test thus far. Ultimately, I just never had enough money to live on let alone establish a world in which my soul could thrive, or explore or live life to the full in an external sense. My Inner Child escaped to its room within. Together, ‘we’ have been confined to our inner space and remained stuck there because we could then no longer fit in with the crazy world outside with its third-dimensional emphasis. And, then, of course, this leads to other problems as they mount up. And so it is that, as the nightmare comes to an end, pleasant dreams can follow before we finally awaken fully. Yes, it is time to create the New World, to be part of this exciting endeavour!

Where I live, although I have perhaps seen the worst in various ‘racial identities,’ I am also fortunate enough to witness firsthand the truth that the majority of people are good-hearted, even though many behave selfishly because this cruel and crazy world in which we live engenders feelings of fear and insecurity. Remove the weeds that are strangling the flowers, let in the sunlight, divine love and happiness, and enough hearts will blossom to change this world and create a Heaven on Earth. No matter how corrupt and chaotic the world still appears, the extraction process is underway albeit taking place behind the scenes. In truth, it is time to celebrate and give thanks for the dawn that is now starting to appear on the horizon even if the light itself is not quite visible to everybody. Just a little more patience and faith are required. A climber who is getting close to the mountaintop might not realise just how close she (or he, but I feel like going with ‘she’ on this occasion since a bit of equality goes a long way…and perhaps women are generally more deserving of illumination in my eyes!) is. She might receive a few glimpses of the Sun up above and the Sun’s warmth sends a welcome message to her heart. Alas, discouragement soon returns as the climber feels weary and, still, she cannot see where she is in relation to the peak. The past weighs heavy on her heart and there seems no end to the darkness, to the struggle, the effort that started out as a labour of love, a heroic dream. In my case, I have been fortunate in that St. Germain kind of dropped down like a spider from the sky on an invisible thread! He assured me that I was on the path and that they (the Ascended Masters) could see me ascending successfully (but also needed a little push from them).

Customer: Excuse me! Where can I find ‘Aliens’?

Harry Solomon (French Stewart): [Looks astounded] Nowhere! [Walks back to the counter]. Not here, that’s for sure! Nobody here but us humans. [Trying to act normal]. La la la, la la la [Drops the video as a result of holding the box the wrong way up and quickly bends down to retrieve it, then types something on the computer - to look normal, of course!].

This meeting occurred largely because I am one of the (really crazy) climbers who is treading an ascension trail for others to follow but also because I have a predestined mission to assist others to ascend too. I am a starseed (as a fellow starseed once said: “I am the alien your government warned you about”). I ‘believe’ that every human being has their origins in another part of the universe. Although we are all ‘star-seeded,’ however, the term ‘starseed’ refers, it seems, to those who ascended elsewhere and came to Earth to join the caravan, share their love and wisdom and show the way at this time of planetary Ascension. According to the ‘Hugh-Man,’ the Pleiadians with whom he is in contact telepathically told him that there were only 1800 star souls (starseeds) on the planet when he was born in the 1940s. There are now well over a million. [2] We entered this cycle of karma and reincarnation from various parts of the universe primarily for the purpose of keeping the divine flame alight on Earth through the millennia of darkness and creating the new path home to Light for humanity. Each and every step, each struggle, apparently against all odds, has much more value to the collective Ascension than we perceive. We are pushing towards the point of critical mass which, once achieved (through these three Ascension waves), will affect everybody on Earth. Dedication to Truth, to Love, to Happiness, will become the norm. In truth, we are all starseeds in that we originate not on Earth but in other regions of space.

“None of you are indigenous to Earth. You’ve all come from somewhere else.” – Adronis (channelled through Brad Johnson).

“All life on holy Mother Earth is made up of the star seeds from the other constellations with a history of living on the different planets in this solar system and living on the planetary bodies in other solar systems, the other constellations where you see now the brightest star which is as a sun in another solar system that does have, in many cases, the planets circling about it and does have life that it is sustaining; life perhaps not as you understand this form of life, but life nonetheless.” – Jesus/Jeshua (channelled through Judith Coates, 5 September 2010, www.oakbridge.org).

Blackadder (Rowan Atkinson): Baldrick, I have a very, very, very cunning plan.

Baldrick (Tony Robinson): Is it as cunning as a fox what used to be Professor of Cunning at Oxford University but has moved on and is now working for the U.N. at the High Commission of International Cunning Planning?

Blackadder: Yes it is.

Baldrick: Hmm...that's cunning.

Eventually, only souls of a certain vibration will be able to incarnate here. Those who still need more density, more fear, more control, more darkness in which to hide from themselves, like seeds buried beneath the soil of unconsciousness, will not feel comfortable in such an environment. The negative energy source that they prefer to rely on and identify with will not be present so they would become ill and die. ‘All is in Divine Order.’ Everything is as it should be. They will find the experiences they need on another planet somewhere and continue to be loved, forgiven and blessed by all who are of the Light. It is simply that this planet has other plans and has had enough experience of lower vibrations. Earth Itself is ‘re-ascending’ and, therefore, nature holds the secrets to accomplishing this feat for all to draw upon. Imagine a golden rope (higher energies) being lowered to Earth, going right down into the Earth. The Earth Spirit recognises this as a rescue mission that was arranged long ago and takes hold of the rope.

This rope is not one that needs to then be pulled up. No one is pulling us out of the physical world but, rather, increasing our Light, helping us to restore full consciousness. The Light is simply being switched on in the room again really only we are the Light. We are like fireflies that have been dim for so long. We have sought ourselves, our Light, outside of ourselves in the world of darkness and illusion where very little Light exists and for which the power of the Dark Masters have compensated having banished the beings of Light from this world long ago. By keeping humanity in fear and darkness they could themselves appear as a source of Light, of hope, of happiness, and even love. Yet, the more people follow them the less Light they have, the more their enjoyment of life is diminished and the more their hearts close.

So, we are now being reconnected to the Source of Light. And, as we hold on to this rope and activate our Light bodies, we grow brighter and brighter, both increasing the Light quotient in humanity and helping to anchor this Golden Cord (Christ Light) into the Earth. This has been the mission for 2009: to get the Ascension process in full swing both for Earth and the first wave of starseeds. Eventually, the ‘room,’ the environment of Earth, will be so bright, so high-frequency, that, rather than resembling a dark tree surrounded by little lights, it will look more like a ball of Light surrounded by little bodies. All will know Light and Oneness as Home. All will know themselves as God first and foremost, as expressions of the Source and this will only enhance their individual expression and self-awareness because all are growing further and further towards the Source of all Life. It will truly be a Heaven on Earth for all to enjoy, share and celebrate.

As I understand it, planetary races ascend collectively and not usually on the planet; they are removed from it and then ascend to the (first) plane of Oneness and Light, Love and Creative Intelligence (the fifth dimension). Apparently, ascension to full consciousness whilst inhabiting a physical body has not occurred on this planet’s surface before. It’s all just gardening (like everything in my head…I must surely have been a gardener in a previous life, perhaps in some far-off galaxy!). The gardener enters the greenhouse-cum-matrix-cum-dormitory when the seedlings are ready. He carries the seed trays outside into the garden. Some of the seeds in the compost compartments don’t make it but most are strong and healthy enough (spiritually) to plant in a flowerbed. In the case of Planetary Ascension, the gardening process is a little more sophisticated than the confines of Gardener’s World magazine in that it involves millions of beings who arrive in space ships from various parts of the universe and also a ground crew of beings who ascended long ago on other planets both in the local galaxy and beyond. These souls awaken first to lead the way and help create an ascension trail for others to follow. Raising their own frequency, albeit at a time when higher energies are reintroduced on the planet, is called ‘Cosmic Ascension.’ Following this flowering, some of the flowers, who have already attained this level of self-mastery and beyond also incarnate to help create Heaven on Earth.

The Planetary Ascension process also involves certain ‘super seeds’ which are sown into the compost trays amongst the others and they are unrecognisable. All appear to live and grow, have the same conditions and opportunities, similar physiology and experiences. Yet, always there is something indefinably unusual in the super seeds. They do not even know what it is themselves because they, too, live in the dark unconscious, in the compost of forgetting! They carry a light within them, however, and they keep the divine flame glowing behind the veil in a world of darkness and therefore duality (for the Light of Reality - cannot be snuffed out completely anyway).

It is only when these super seeds start to grow rapidly all of a sudden at the end of the journey that the difference becomes apparent. There seems to be no stopping these seedlings as they rise up and show the others what is possible. Indeed, they are demonstrating the potential inherent within each and every seed if only they believed in themselves and knew how glorious they, too, are. The extra solar energy which they contain comes out having been hidden within for so long, even to themselves. That is why the gardener starts telling them to wake up! No one else takes any notice because they are still asleep. Smiling, He/She whispers (in a Somerset ‘Wurzel’ accent), ‘Come on me little beauties! Wakey, wakey. It’s your old friend God! You can let go of the illusion now. Here, maybe this’ll help” (gives them a little ‘push’ with a few drops of fertiliser).

PLAY: The chorus of ‘The Combine Harvester’ by The Wurzels (1976).

“There is no one on Earth who is not precisely where they are supposed to be, perfectly positioned to be themselves, doing what they planned to do before they incarnated. If you have doubts about this, as many of you do, ask for guidance when you pray or meditate, and even if it seems that you are getting no answers, know that you are making your presence on Earth extremely effective just by being there and holding your loving intent…All that you need to do is accept the Love He offers you in every moment (even if you do not feel It) and intend to share It indiscriminately. That is your main task; that is why you were created; and in doing that you will find eternal ecstasy as you awaken.” – Saul (channelled through John Smallman, ‘The remaining skeins of the illusion are turning to dust,’ 5 June 2013,

“There’s no need to wait for the bad things and bullshit to be over. Change now. Love now. Live now. Don’t wait for people to give you permission to live, because they won’t.” - Kris Carr.

Foot notes

1. Barefoot Doctor refers to the Inner Child as your IPS, or ‘inner playful spirit.’ An Indian lady with whom I am friendly online writes, eloquently, “The innocence of the magical child within holds the key to the heaven of our Heart.” (‘Archangel Kupio’)

2. Mark Huber’s website appears to suggest that we have all ascended at least three times before - otherwise we would not be here. I’m not so sure. I think there is a range between fresh shoots endeavouring to push up through the soil for the first time and souls who have ascended few times but I could be wrong. Isis, channelled through Petra Margolis on 25 January 2009, has this to say on the subject: “I don't know what anyone sees as an Ascended Master walking the earth, but I see it as someone that can actually change their physical body into a light body and the other way around. Have not seen anyone like that, I know I can't do it. So when we talk about Ascension, and many have done this, they have done Planetary ascension. That is the easy part, many have done that in previous lifetimes and it's only the beginning. Yes it's a big step, but why stop there. Why is everyone so convinced that this is ascension? When we look back in history and one of the biggest stories out there is of course Jesus. He Ascended; he changed his body into light.” (‘Planetary and Cosmic Ascension and what is the difference,’ www.ascendedmasters.org).
