Ka´rala · Posted: Fri Mar 07, 2008 5:06 am Post subject: ARE YOU AWAKE?

Are you awake?

A message from Gautama Buddha

The Buddha I AM. Gautama was my name when I walked the Earth. And though I still answer to that name, I have a higher name that I shall one day reveal to you, when you are ready to receive it...

My beloved, after I had entered Nirvana and had returned to the material universe to preach, I encountered three men who were struck by my peaceful radiance. They were struck by my God Flame radiating its light through my outer form. And so they asked me several questions about what I was. Was I a God, an angel and other questions.

What did I say to them when they asked, “What are you?”

I simply said, “I AM awake!” So my beloved, what do we of the Ascended Host want to see for our chelas in embodiment?

We want you to be awake as we have become awake. Whether we attained that sense of awareness after we ascended or while we were still in physical embodiment, you have the potential to become awake while you are still on Earth. And therefore, you can become free of the state of illusion, the state of sleepwalking through life, whereby you feel that life is a treadmill, where you go around and around and you never seem to get anywhere. And life seems to have no purpose or deeper meaning or direction.

My beloved, look at humankind and ask yourself the question, “How many people on this planet are even somewhat awake, to the point where they are consciously aware that as they go through their daily lives they are more than that?" And thus, because of that awareness they have a deeper appreciation for life.

My beloved, when you are awake, the essential realization is that you are more than these outer manifestations. You are more than your outer situation. You are more than your physical body. You are more than your lower mind, your outer personality that has been shaped by this world. You are more than this. And what happens when you know that you are more? Well, you are not fully identified with this world, with your lower being and the outer personality, even the ego. And when you are not fully identified with it, your mind is not trapped in the mental box created by the ego. And thus, at least once in awhile, you can step outside that mental box and look at life from a broader perspective. You can look at the big picture. You can see the forest instead of pounding your head against one tree trunk.

And this, of course, is the key to freedom. The key to freedom is not that you leave behind this physical body for good in the process of the ascension.

My beloved, are you awake? Did you hear what I said? The key to freedom is not that you leave the material universe behind in the process of the ascension. It would seem I am contradicting earlier teachings, given through other dispensations, in which we of the Ascended Host did focus on the ascension as the goal of life. So why do I now say that the ascension is not the key to freedom? Because, my beloved, you cannot ascend unless you are awake.

And becoming awake is not a mechanical process that can be obtained by following certain outer rules or doctrines or rituals. It is a creative process that can be attained only through awareness that becomes internalized and therefore results in the ultimate LIFE decision. A decision that is not produced by you, that is not willed into being, but a decision that comes spontaneously from within because one day you decide that you are willing to be awake. You are willing to go beyond the state of consciousness that you have been in so far. You are willing to rise to that higher state of awareness, where part of your attention, part of your being, part of your sense of self is always outside your current situation, is always looking at the big picture, looking from a broader perspective. And therefore never looking at life fully from inside the mental box of the ego.

My beloved this is not an awareness that will come spontaneously. It is not a matter of meditating X hours a day for X number of years. It is not a matter of doing any other ritual. It is an awareness that must come ultimately from within. But it is an awareness that can be cultivated by your willingness to always look beyond the immediate situation, to always look beyond the current box of the ego, so that you do not identify fully with that box and become trapped in it.

My beloved, this awareness of being fully awake is what we desire to see for all of you. And the reason for this is that we have become awake, we have become free, and thus we want all of you to attain that same freedom, that same joy, that same state of bliss. This is the peace that passeth understanding, the bliss that is beyond any outer conditions. For it does not depend on any conditions in this world, for you realize that the key to bliss is to connect to the source of bliss. And the source of bliss is not found in the material world. It is found in your own Higher Being, from which the source of life itself comes for you.

My beloved, you were not created with no purpose. Life is not a treadmill. I am fully aware that some of my followers – or those who claim to be followers of the Buddha – have created a world view that they claim is based on my teachings, a world view that states that life is just a process of being created, of rising to the level of the Buddha consciousness and then merging back into, disappearing back into, Nirvana where you are obliterated. Well, my beloved, it is a fiction of the human imagination, for Nirvana is not annihilation. It is a higher state of life that most people on Earth cannot fathom. And therefore, to them it might seem that when you enter Nirvana, you disappear. But you only disappear from the sight of those who are not awake, who have not risen above duality.

You see, my beloved, the teachings given by Mother Mary and Jesus on the ego and the duality consciousness are indeed the quintessential teachings for the Aquarian Age. For humankind is ready to recognize the existence of the ego. And they are ready – with some serious coaching – to understand the concept of duality and how it influences your thinking, how it blinds you to reality, how it binds you to this treadmill of always fighting some opposing force, never being able to reach your goal, never being able to break through and get where you want to be in life.

And the reason is that you have been fooled by the ego and the prince of this world to believe that your bliss is in this world. And thus, you have been told to follow your bliss and seek it in this world. For in order to attain it – they say – you have to overcome this opposing force. And so you get locked into this battle of fighting against the opposite duality. And my beloved, this is a battle that can go on indefinitely—until you run out of time.

For when you are engaged in this battle, you are indeed creating your own opposition. You are polarized to one of the dualistic extremes, you are unbalanced, you are off the middle way. And in that imbalance, you create the opposition to your every effort because you project an unbalanced view into the cosmic mirror. And the mirror has no choice but to project an unbalanced material circumstance back to you as a result.

So being awake truly means that you realize the mechanics of the dualistic struggle, and that you decide that you will raise your awareness so that you become aware of the dualistic forces in your own being, the forces that divide you against yourself, that divide your lower being against your own Higher Being. And thus, in this division, you create those circumstances that oppose your goals.

And in a sense, this is a grace, for it is a safety mechanism built into the material universe. It is simply designed to make sure that when you go off of balance, when you go off the middle way, your imbalance creates an opposing force that seeks to pull you back to balance. So the further you go into one extreme – the harder you push to get to that goal that you have set for yourself – the more you create the opposition that opposes your effort and seeks to pull you back to center.

But, of course, you do not see it that way. You do not see that the material universe is providing a service to you by seeking to counteract your imbalance. Nay, you allow your ego to tell you that the universe is opposing what is your right—your right to be free and do whatever you want, regardless of the material universe, the law of balance. And so not only do you create an imbalance that creates an opposition, nay you then rebel against the opposition that you created, projecting that it was not created by you but by some external force, be it the devil or by other people.

And so, now you are fighting two battles. And out of two battles will spring a third battle, and out of the three battles will spring a fourth. And pretty soon you are so enveloped in all these dualistic battles that you have no attention left over to step back and say, “Might there be a better way? Might there be a middle way? Might it be possible to step off the treadmill of fighting dualistic battles and find a way to go beyond this struggle?”

And so, my beloved, this is the message of my life, where I first – growing up – lived a material, worldly life, then jumped to the opposite extreme of living in a forest, torturing myself and my physical body because I thought my physical body was the enemy and that I had to discipline and control it. And so the true reality that most Buddhists have not yet understood is that I truly realized that my body and the material world was not the enemy of my spiritual growth. I saw the enemy, and it was me, my lower being, my ego, my attachments, my expectations that life should be a certain way.

So what we truly desire to see for our chelas in this age is that you come into this awareness and rise above the dualistic struggle in your own being. But we desire to see this not simply for your own sake, not simply for your liberation or for your own bliss—we desire to see it because in this age we have a need for those who are willing to demonstrate the spiritual path for others.

Well, my beloved, how do you demonstrate the spiritual path for others? The ultimate way is not to lecture or preach by giving them an outer intellectual teaching. No, the ultimate way is to be who you are, to be awake so that you can radiate the light that you are. This does not mean that you need to be silent, for, truly, I also gave teachings. I did not simply say “I AM awake” and let that be it. But when I gave those teachings, I did not give them the way they appear today, twenty-five hundred years later, where they have been written down and translated and retranslated and transcribed and retranscribed, and thus been somewhat diluted, as any teaching that passes through the minds of many unenlightened human beings.

No, what I gave was the Living Word that was endowed with my God flame, with my Inner Being. And my beloved, we desire all of you to be able to deliver that Living Word. And I do not mean that you have to stand here in front of a group of people and give a dictation from us. I mean that as you speak to people, whether in a lecture situation or one-on-one, you are speaking freely from your Inner Being. You are letting your light flow so that the words are not the essence, the words are simply chalices for the light.

The words carry the Light, and they enter the other persons’ energy fields and uplift them and transform them. And they are suddenly awakened to the realization that there is an alternative to the state of consciousness of sleepwalking through life, because they see in you something more. They see you are awake, you are excited, you are enthusiastic, you are being who you are, you are at peace. They sense your bliss, and they say, “I want that!” And then you can tell them, “You can have it. And if you want a suggestion, here is the path I have followed. Your path will be different, but at least you have a starting point.”

All of you who are willing to study and internalize these teachings have the potential to reach that state of radiating your inner light of being the example of the spiritual path, the path of self-transcendence, the path of becoming more.

So you see, my beloved, truly we of the Ascended Host are able to raise the vibration of a forcefield. And this is one of the reasons we give dictations that are an expression of the Living Word. But you too can do this. You too can be the open door for raising the vibration, for quickening other people, raising their consciousness so they realize that there really is more to life. And if he can find it, if she can find it, maybe I can too.

For as we have said before, Jesus, Gautama, Krishna, Maitreya, Mother Mary, Saint Germain, El Morya, we are not the best examples for people, because they have already put us on a pedestal and think we are beyond the scope of normal human beings. And thus, they don’t think that they can follow our examples. And that is why we need you to demonstrate the path so that they can identify with you, be awakened, be inspired, be uplifted by your mere presence. For it is the presence, the I AM Presence, that uplifts, that raises up, that accelerates, that multiplies so that your talents are multiplied and you become more.

So my beloved, we of the Ascended Host have need of you to be our counterparts in the material realm, to be our spiritual twin flames that you can be the open door here below, that our greater light can shine through and uplift those who have not yet seen that there is an alternative to sleepwalking through life, through living for three-score and ten without ever experiencing a moment of awareness, of being awake and truly appreciating what life is.

Yet as Mother Mary said, for you to reach that state, you must overcome the focus on self, on the little self, the narrow self, the self in the box. You must cultivate a greater love. You must find your greatest love, the love for which you came here originally—the gift that you wanted to bring to Earth. The gift that you simply desired to express, and your desire is so strong – your love for that gift is so strong – that you were willing to come here to express that gift.

And so you must, if you are willing to be awake, reconnect to that greater love and let that love grow so that it will become a magnet that simply pulls you out of that normal state of drudgery, of sleepwalking. And you are awake because you love to be awake, you love to feel that light flowing through you. You love to see it uplift other people. You love to feel that you are a part of the Ascended Host and our endeavor to raise the consciousness of humankind.

And so, my beloved, there are of course many traps that the ego has devised for preventing you from reconnecting to your greater love. And one of the more subtle ones is to set up an unrealistic expectation for what the spiritual path should be like, and thereby cause you to pursue spiritual growth in an unbalanced manner, whereby, as I said, you create your own opposition. And so your spiritual path, instead of becoming a process of greater and greater liberation, becomes an ongoing struggle that becomes harder and harder, until you finally break under the strain and give up and say, “I never want to have anything to do with that again.”

And my beloved, if you will be honest, you will see that many of those, who used to call themselves chelas of the ascended masters, have gone through this process—have broken under the strain and have given up on the spiritual path. Or they have decided that this is the level where I am comfortable and this is the level where I am willing to serve, but I am not willing to go beyond it.

And many of these people have an expression that you will hear many times, if you listen. And that expression is, “I don’t need another messenger. I don’t need another guru. I don’t need another spiritual organization. I don’t want to go through all that again.” And so they reject the messengers we send, the movements we start. And you will see this throughout history.

Well, my beloved, we of the Ascended Host fully agree with the “never again” sentiment. For we do not desire anyone to repeat such a cycle of turning the spiritual path into a struggle. We do not desire to see anyone repeat their mistakes. Yet I must tell you that behind the statement, “I don’t need another messenger, guru, organization or teaching,” behind that statement is what both Mother Mary and I have talked about, the self-centeredness, the focus on self.

Listen to the statement: “I don’t need.” It is all about “I,” it is all about “me.” For these people have become self-centered. And the goal of their spiritual path, of their involvement with a spiritual movement, was not to rise above self-centeredness and come into service to all life. No, their goal was to glorify the lesser self, to justify the lesser self, and to attain something that made them seem better than others because they had done these spiritual things.

Do you see, my beloved, if you are willing to be honest, you will see that self-centeredness is the real enemy of spiritual growth. But there is no guarantee that by following an outer spiritual teaching – even a teaching that is true and given by the Ascended Host – there is no guarantee that this outer teaching will take you beyond self-centeredness. Because the only thing that will take you beyond is the decision that you are willing to come above it, you are willing to be awake.

My beloved, there are people who feel they do not need another messenger, guru or organization. But what are they really saying? They are saying to the Ascended Host, “Don’t disturb me again! I don’t want to be disturbed. I am comfortable.” And so they come up with outer reasons, intellectual reasons, for why the ascended masters would not start another movement, would not anoint another messenger, would not give forth teachings beyond what was given in the past. And you have seen this in every organization we have sponsored in the last century of the Piscean Age.

And thus, my beloved, the question is not – or rather the question should not be – “Do I need another messenger or movement or teaching?” but “Do the ascended masters need another messenger, another movement, another teaching?” Do the masters know something I don’t know? Do they see something my ego cannot see, namely that there is a need for another messenger, another organization, another teaching. And am I then willing to support the masters or will I encage myself in this self-created prison of self-centeredness, where I use some outer means to build the illusion that I am spiritual, that I am still a chela of the ascended masters, while in reality I have rejected the Living Masters and now cling to a graven image that I refuse to change, to transcend, to look beyond.

And that, my beloved, is the real question that these people should be asking themselves. But of course, their self-centeredness prevents them from asking that question, because they are so involved with their own little box that they cannot withdraw their attention from it and from its dualistic struggle and step back and look at the big picture. But I tell you that the vast majority of the people I am talking about are not in any way evil or prideful or selfish or self-centered. They came here out of a greater love to provide a service to humankind, to the cause of the Ascended Host, which is to free humankind. So behind their outer disappointment or comfortability, they have that greater love.

And you, if you have risen above your sense of disappointment or frustration, you have the opportunity to help these other people become free. I just want you to use your insight, your love, to help them escape that prison of self-centeredness and to get back on the spiritual path—in whatever form they can grasp it at their present level of consciousness. For surely, if you can be yourself and radiate to them your greater love for your own greater Being and your mission, you can inspire them. And if they are willing, you can re-ignite the flame of their love for the spiritual path, for their spiritual mission.

And that, of course, is what we desire to see happen, so that all those who have been involved with any ascended master sponsored organization, can have a rekindling of the fire of the heart, the love for the path, the love for the ascended masters, the love for their own Higher Beings, the love for God and the love for their fellow man. For truly, many of the people who have found the ascended masters' teachings, came here for a selfless purpose. Surely, not all came here for a selfless purpose because they descended to Earth precisely, because they were not willing to rise higher when the higher sphere in which they lived ascended into a higher vibration. And so they descended in consciousness until their consciousness vibrated at the level of the material realm.

And so many of these people have been given the opportunity to find an ascended master organization and to interact with those who are the innocents, those who are the loving hearts. And the hope was that the more recalcitrant souls, those who had hardness of heart, would be inspired and uplifted by those who had the pure hearts, the loving, meek and humble hearts. And yet this goal, this hope, has not yet come to fruition, at least not yet to its highest potential. But it can still be obtained in large measure, if those of you who are open are willing to first rekindle your love and seek to inspire others, seek to share who you are with others.

Surely, you will be rejected by some. Surely you will be condemned by others. Surely you will be told that you are not allowed to do this, you are not allowed to be loving and kind, you are not allowed to be in peace, you are not allowed to be happy, you are not allowed to be in bliss. Who do you think you are in this world, where everything is so serious and life is such a drudgery that you can come here and radiate this peace and love and light—and thereby disturb those who are so identified with the dualistic struggle that they have convinced themselves that there is no alternative. And here you come and radiate this love and they realize that there is an alternative, but in order to attain that love they have to give up their mental boxes.

And so, they will resent you. But my beloved, you will find in any other spiritual teaching on this planet, that is part of the test. For it was because you let other people cause you to stop your light from shining that you left off the true path of self-transcendence, the path of becoming more. And thus, many of you who are the spiritual people are once again facing that initiation.

Will you let other people – whether it be your family or those that used to be your peers in a spiritual organization, or the world at large – will you let them stop from you from letting your light shine? Or will you finally become that sun and let your light shine, no matter what the world thinks about it or says about it. For after all, you, my beloved, no matter what the world says, you have a right to be on Earth and to BE on Earth all that you are Above, to let that light shine, to bear witness to your truth.

Do you hear me? You have a right to Be the Christ, to Be the Buddha, to Be your God Flame. You have an absolute God-given right. And those who oppose you and want you not to disturb them have no right to make that claim. For they have violated their free will and they seek to pull others into that violation.

But you see, my beloved, free will does not give you the right to destroy others. And that is precisely what those who are trapped in the consciousness of the fallen angels will not realize. They have no right whatsoever to kill those who bear witness to the light. Nor do they have a right to kill them emotionally and cause them to shut off their light or feeling so bad about themselves that they dare not express anything beyond the ordinary.

You see my beloved, you have a right to Be here. You have a right to disturb other people. And they have a right to be disturbed so that they are forced to face the choice—to Be or not to Be. And even if they deny it – the denial of Being, the Being they see in you – it will do something, it will start a process in their Beings. And I must tell you that in many cases a soul encountering a person with spiritual light and denying that light will not forget that experience for many embodiments. And the experience will come back and haunt that person until finally the person is willing to look at why it felt so angry. And then, in looking at this, many people have risen above it and have come up higher and have started the spiritual path, just because sometime in the near or distant past they encountered one person who dared to express their light.

So you are planting seeds. And sometimes the seeds have to stay under ground for a very long time before they germinate and sprout. And some of the seeds do fall on barren ground and never have the opportunity to sprout. But I tell you that no encounter you have, where you let your light shine, is for naught. For if nothing else, regardless of the reaction of the other people, when you express your light with love, with non-attachment, you close the figure-eight flow. And your light will be multiplied and you will receive more light from your I AM Presence that will make the sun of your heart shine even brighter.

And thus, my beloved, when you are Being who you are, when you are expressing your light with non-attachment, without imposing any intellectual reasoning or rules or restrictions upon it, then you can never cast your light before swine. You can never waste that light. For the light that is given with purity of love cannot return to you with any lower vibration, regardless of what other people do, regardless of them misqualifying some of the light you give them. That is their choice. That is their karma. If your intention is pure, you will not make negative karma. You will make positive karma and have your light multiplied. For truly, God is not an unfair taskmaster. God does not punish you for doing good deeds, when those good deeds are done selflessly and with non-attachment.

So you see, my beloved, there does come a state where you reach a certain freedom, a certain willingness to be who you are, where you transcend the level of duality, the level where you can make mistakes, where some actions are right and some are wrong. Instead, you rise to a level, a higher level, of right that is not in opposition to wrong. And thus, your actions simply cannot be mistakes, no matter what happens in the outer. The action of sharing your light, of letting your light shine, cannot be a mistake. For you have cast your bread upon the waters, and it shall not return unto you void, but it shall return unto you multiplied by your own I AM Presence and by the Ascended Host—out of whose beings you are an extension.

My beloved, becoming awake is not a matter of finding the philosopher’s stone or some secret formula. It is a process, and the essence of that process is self-observation, the willingness to look at yourself, to look at the beam in your own eye, instead of focusing on the mote, the splinter, in the eye of another. For when you are willing to observe yourself without attachments, without seeking to see only what your ego wants you to see, then you have already started separating yourself from the ego and its illusions.

And this separation is the key to a greater awareness, a greater self-awareness, whereby you realize that you are more than that little self that lives in this small box and is so focused on itself and thinks the rest of the universe should be here to serve it. Instead, you see beyond it and you start seeing glimpses of the Higher Self that you are. And that will reconnect you to the higher love that you are and for which you came to Earth.

And suddenly you will start realizing that although life can have its ups and downs, behind these outer appearances is a deeper reality. And in that deeper reality life on Earth is an incredible opportunity, an incredible gift. An incredible opportunity to express yourself, your creativity, your inner being and to uplift others, to re-polarize an entire planet to the highest vision of God.

My beloved, take some time once in awhile out of your busy daily schedule and contemplate what a wondrous opportunity you have by being in a physical body in this material universe. Look beyond your daily situation. Look beyond your challenges. I know that they sometimes are severe, or at least seem to have a certain reality. But once in awhile look beyond them and see that behind every challenge is an opportunity for self-transcendence. And when you look for that self-transcendence, then you will not think that you are the doer who has to solve all of these problems, that you know you cannot solve with your outer mind. Instead, you will immerse yourself in the flow, whereby the light of your I AM Presence will flow through you, and that light will then dissolve those problems that seem like insurmountable obstacles to the outer mind.

And thus, when you take time to appreciate life, then life will become easier to appreciate. And then your life will no longer be the drudgery of the dualistic battle against forces that oppose you at every turn. Your life will become what we all desire to see for you, an upward spiral leading to greater and greater freedom, until you finally break through and achieve that complete non-attachment that is the true key to peace and bliss.

I, as all of us, have much more to say. For we of the Ascended Host are in the River of Life. And in the River of Life, my beloved, self-transcendence is endless, is beyond limit. And thus, our teachings can keep transcending themselves and going beyond the former expressions. You see, my beloved, it is not the outer teaching that is important. It is the flow of light through the outer teaching that is important. And so do not turn our outer teachings into graven images that you hold on to in a misplaced loyalty of thinking you have to remain loyal to the Ascended Host by sticking to an outer teaching that we ourselves have transcended.

How can you be loyal to us by holding on to the past? The only way to be loyal to us is to move on with us, to transcend yourself, to become more as we are becoming more. Whether you do this through an outer teaching, whether you are inspired by outer messengers, or whether you do it through a completely internal process – where you yourself receive the Living Word in your own heart – the important thing is to flow.

For my beloved, we of the Ascended Host cannot be put into any mental box created by the human ego or by any person in this world. We never have fit into those mental boxes—and we never will! Look at our lives. Buddhism did not appear out of nowhere. Buddhism was my attempt to shake up the mental box created by Hinduism, which had locked people into a rigid outer framework that denied their freedom to Be. Jesus’ life was an attempt to shake the mental box of Judaism and shake the Jews out of their self-created mental boxes that they had created based on the teachings and the example of Abraham and Moses, who were both willing to go beyond their mental boxes and leave behind the old and reach for the promised land—which is not a physical land but a state of consciousness.

How hard can it be to figure out that everything in a spiritual teaching is a symbol for a higher reality? How difficult is it to understand this one truth and therefore escape that momentum, that planetary momentum, of focusing on the outer word rather than reaching beyond those words to the Spirit of Truth, the Living Buddha, the Living Christ, rather than the dead Buddha and the dead Christ that have been encapsulated in words or images that are not changing.

This, my beloved, is the one truth that we desire all of humankind, at least the top ten percent of the most spiritual people, to understand—that there is a deeper reality beyond the outer expression, that there is a spiritual truth beyond the outer expression of truth.

If you want a suggestion for your life’s mission, then make that your life’s mission—to get that truth out and to help everyone you encounter see that there is more than that outer expression. And the more is to reach for the Spirit of truth until you become one with that Spirit, your own Higher Being, and therefore become the open door so that the Spirit can flow through your words.

Make that your goal in life—to become the open door for the Spirit of truth, or the Spirit of Love, or the Spirit of Peace, or the Spirit of Divine Direction, or the Spirit of any God quality for which you have that greater love that propelled you into the material universe to express it and bring that gift to uplift everyone and raise them above that state of non-awareness, that state that Jesus called death, which is spiritual death.

“Let the children come to me and forbid them not, for of such is the kingdom of God.” Jesus Very Happy

So be willing to come into that child-like innocence of being open to a higher truth, an inner direction for your personal life and what service your own Higher Being desires to render to humankind through you.

"DREAMS COME TRUE in BLUE HAWAII"

Ka´rala · Posted: Tue Mar 11, 2008 4:32 am Post subject:

I AM Michael, the Archangel!

And I come to you with love. My love is powerful, because I move swiftly with the billions of angels that have been sent to all four corners of the Earth.

We are so joyful!

If you could see the eagerness with which my angels rush to complete their assignments and complete the calls you have given, you would know that we in Heaven have no greater desire than to cut you free from all the darkness that holds you back from being who you truly are in God, from being who you truly are in Christ. We have no greater love than the love of seeing our unascended brothers and sisters become free of the forces of darkness that roam this planet, seeking whom they may devour.

We love you with a love that is so intense that most people on Earth simply could not bear our love—if they experienced it directly. It would bring out the darkness in them, until they could not contain it. Yet I want you to know that our love is there. It is real, it is firm, it is unconditional, it is unwavering.

I know that so many people on Earth have been brought up with the false doctrine of original sin. They have been brought up to see themselves as sinners who can do nothing right, and that everything they do is a sin. But I am here to tell you that this is a lie, spread by the forces of anti-christ.

The consciousness of sin and the concept of original sin never came from God, never came from the Ascended Host. It is a lie, manufactured by the forces of anti-christ who are seeking to prevent you from coming home to the kingdom of God. And I know that so many of you have been brought up to see that the kingdom of God is up here in Heaven. Yet I tell you that the most profound teaching ever given on the kingdom of God was given in one simple sentence, spoken by the Lord Jesus Christ.

He said, “The kingdom of God is within you.” He did not say the kingdom of God is up there in Heaven. He did not say it is in the Pacific Ocean or on the South Pole. He did not say it is in a certain church, a certain place. He did not say it was somewhere else outside of you. He said, “The kingdom of God is within you.”

I know that all souls on Earth have been programmed by the forces of anti-christ to look for the kingdom of God outside themselves. But I tell you this day, “You will not find the kingdom of God as long as you look for it outside yourself.”

Most souls on this planet have a deep inner longing for something. They know there is more to life. They want to find it. They know there is something to find. And you must understand that not even the forces of darkness can turn off that longing. So the forces of darkness do two things to prevent you from finding that which you know is there.

They seek to cause you to ignore your inner longing so that you indulge in the pleasures of this world, in the endless search for some ultimate experience that you will never find through any of the pleasures of this world. Their second strategy is to cause those who are willing to forsake the things of this world – those who are truly walking the spiritual path – to cause those people, those souls, those seekers to look for the kingdom of God somewhere outside themselves. And I must tell you today that there is hardly a religion on this planet, which has not been influenced by the forces of anti-christ and the lie that the kingdom of God is somewhere outside yourself.

So many of the religions that we have given you started out as a true religion, because they were started by one person who had realized the truth that the kingdom of God is within. The Buddha had realized this truth, and so had Jesus Christ. And they both preached the inner path to the inner kingdom. Yet when the original founder was gone, those who could not grasp the inner path, or those who were not willing to follow that inner path, immediately moved into positions of power in that religion. And ever so gradually and ever so subtly, they started perverting the teachings of that religion. And they started creating a false doctrine that the kingdom of God is somewhere outside yourself, and that you cannot reach that kingdom without going through an outer authority, such as their church and the leaders of their church.

I now speak to all who call themselves the followers of Jesus Christ, all who call themselves Christians, and I dare you to read the scriptures that you consider to be the infallible word of God and see how many times your Lord and Savior Jesus Christ challenged those who promoted the outer path, those who had set themselves up as the only doorway to the kingdom of Heaven, those who said to the people, “You can reach God only through us, you can be saved only through our religion.”

This is the lie that Jesus challenged on so many occasions—and he did so on many more occasions than recorded in the scriptures. He challenged this lie wherever he met it. And these were the people who would not bend the knee before the Living Christ, even though he stood before them. And they were the ones who attacked him, who plotted against him and who eventually killed the Living Christ. And after they had killed the Living Christ, they attempted to kill his followers. And when they could not kill all of his followers, they attempted to kill his teaching.

And they have been so successful that the vast majority of Christians today simply could not recognize the true teachings that Jesus gave. They simply would not dare to accept that Jesus Christ could say something that goes beyond their doctrines. And yet those doctrines are based on the lies of anti-christ that the kingdom of God is somewhere outside yourself.

I now come to bind those forces of anti-christ who are promoting this lie. And I send billions of angels to the four corners of the Earth to bind these forces wherever they are found in church and state. And I say, by the authority you have given me... “Thus far and no farther! They shall not stand! They shall not destroy the true teachings of Jesus Christ! They shall not prevent the souls of light on this planet from knowing the true teachings of Jesus Christ and the reality of the inner kingdom!”

They have set themselves up as the authority between Heaven and Earth, between humanity and their God. And this is no longer allowed in this day and age. And I ask each and every one of you, who might hear or read this dictation, to use your free will to give the Prayer of Peace and to affirm within you the truth, the reality, that the kingdom of God is inside yourself, and to affirm with me that the forces of anti-christ, who promote the lie of the outside kingdom and the outer path, shall not stand and shall not take over the Earth.

And therefore I ask you to make the firm decision in your hearts that you will be the true followers of Jesus Christ in this age, that you will dare to look beyond the false doctrines of anti-christ promoted by the orthodox churches. You will dare to look for the inner kingdom, to go within, to find that kingdom and to let your light shine before men. Because truly, “A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.”

Therefore I say to you, the true path, that has been preached by the Ascended Host from the beginning of time, is the path, not only of the inner kingdom, but the path that when you manifest that kingdom, you become one with God while you are still on Earth. And therefore, you become the Body of God here below, as we of the Ascended Host are the Body of God Above.

I tell you truly that although there are many religious groups on this planet who give their prayers and decrees and other exercises, and although these efforts do make a difference on Earth, I must tell you in all honesty that nothing that human beings can do will remove the forces of anti-christ from this planet. The only way to remove the forces of anti-christ from Earth is that a critical mass of people must dare to be the Living Christ here below, as we are the Living Christ Above.

And as Jesus Christ told you, “I of my own self can do nothing.” It truly is the Father within me who is doing the work. And therefore, as long as you think that the way to bring God’s kingdom to Earth is to resist the forces of darkness, you will be caught in a dualistic struggle with those forces that will never end—until you decide that enough is enough. And so the true path, preached by the Buddha and by Jesus Christ and by all true spiritual teachers, is the path of going within and manifesting your oneness with God, your oneness with your I AM Presence, your oneness with the Ascended Master who is your personal sponsor and spiritual teacher, so that you can be one with that Master and you can be the master here below as that Master is the Christ Above.

The true path of the master/disciple relationship is not that you follow a master or a guru or a teacher and keep following that master forever. The true path is that you rise above being a follower, so that you become one with that teacher. And you dare to claim your oneness with that teacher here below. This is the path that Jesus taught and demonstrated to his disciples. He did not teach it to the multitudes because they were not ready for this path.

But he taught it to his disciples. And some of his disciples understood it, and some did not. And most notably; Peter did not understand it. And that is why, when he was asked, he denied his oneness with Jesus. Christians have misunderstood this situation and think that Peter simply protected himself and that it had no great significance. But truly, what Peter did in those three situations was to deny his oneness with his Guru, with his Master. He refused to say, “I am the Living Christ, as Jesus is the Living Christ!” And thereby he denied the inner path to the inner kingdom.

Therefore I ask you, with all the fervor and love of my heart, “Please stop denying the Living Christ within you!” Please allow the perfect love from myself and the perfect love of Mother Mary to consume your idolatry, your fear, your fear that you cannot be the Christ, that you are unworthy. Allow it to be consumed by that flame of love, so that one day you can say – and when I say one day I do not mean in some distant future that never comes, I mean in the eternal now, when the decision comes from inside your soul – and you are willing to stand before the world and say, “I AM one with Christ.” And therefore, “I AM Jesus Christ, as Above so below.”

This is my calling. And I seal you in the love of my heart. The love that behind the power is so tender that I wish all human beings could experience it, even for just a second. Therefore I say, “Be sealed in the love of an Archangel. Amen.”

Ka´rala · Posted: Thu Mar 13, 2008 3:22 am Post subject: HUMOR in HEAVEN

From the heart of Jesus Very Happy

I can assure you that there is much humor and joy here in Heaven, and therefore there should be room for humor on the spiritual path on Earth. In fact, let me say that if you cannot laugh at yourself, you are taking yourself too seriously. And if you cannot laugh at a particular topic, including your religion, you are taking that topic too seriously.

Humor is indeed a liberating force that can have a powerful impact on setting people free from the prison of the human ego and the carnal mind. The human ego is very serious about preserving its image and its sense of being in control. When you identify with the ego, you cannot laugh at yourself. If you think someone is making fun of you, the ego feels threatened, and it attempts to squeeze all joy from your life. Therefore, one of the best ways to neutralize the ego is to use humor.

As Saint Thomas More once said, “The devil, the evil spirit, cannot endure to be mocked." There is indeed no better way to turn away dark forces than by using humor. The dark forces are consumed by their egos, and therefore they take themselves very seriously—and they want all human beings to do the same. If you refuse to take them seriously, or even us humor to deflate their egos, they will find it difficult to find an inroad into your consciousness.

Obviously, as with everything else on this planet, there is a higher form of humor and a lower form of humor. I am sure everyone interested in spiritual growth can tell the difference, and it is truly a difference in vibration. Some forms of humor are gross or base, and they cause your energies to flow downward. Other forms of humor are light-hearted and cause your energies to move up. I am not encouraging anyone to engage in any lower form of humor, which is basically any form of humor that degrades other human beings. However, I strongly encourage people to use humor as part of the spiritual path because it truly can liberate you from becoming trapped in the illusion created by dark forces, namely that everything is so serious and should be taken so seriously that there is no room for any real joy in life.

Let me say that many Christians have developed the attitude that it is necessary to walk around with a sad face in order to make it to Heaven. In reality, this is an illusion. God has no desire to force people to enter Heaven. God wants people to enter of their own free-will choosing, and why would you choose to enter Heaven if you see it as a place with no joy? God created human beings so they are naturally attracted to that which is light and joyful, and they are repulsed by that which is dark and dreary. God created you that way because Heaven is full of light and joy, and God wants you to be attracted to Heaven. So if your religion makes you take life too seriously, then you are not headed in the direction of Heaven. If not, you might want to lighten up and take your spirituality and your religion less seriously. It is quite possible to laugh your way into Heaven but it is not possible to cry your way into Heaven.

We of the Ascended Host often use humor to diffuse a tense situation. Although Heaven is a place with great joy, those of us working with human beings often find ourselves in somewhat tense situations because it is difficult to determine exactly how to help our unascended brothers and sisters move forward on the spiritual path. Truly, there are so many problems and so much darkness in the Earth that even an ascended being can become tense when dealing with these situations. We often used humor to lighten a meeting or discussion, because we know that when things get too tense, the tension itself will block the right solution.

Up here, we never make fun of people or each other in a malicious or degrading way. But we will make fun of each other in a good-natured way, and we will make fun of ourselves because we do not take ourselves too seriously. We will often use our past mistakes or shortcomings in a humorous way to prove a point.

Let me say that humor and joy is truly a vibration. It is a vibration of great light, and it can lift your spirit more than anything else. Humor is not necessarily the same as laughter. Laughter is a physiological reaction, and although it can relax your muscles, it does not necessarily lift your spirit. Base humor does not lift your spirit.

It is quite possible to use humor and joy without making people laugh. Joy can be a quiet glow that suddenly makes everyone realize that behind all the serious appearances on Earth there is a deeper sense of joy. That joy can be released through the heart center of every human being, but those who are truly joyful can become electrodes of this inner glow. They can lighten up a room simply by walking into it and without cracking any jokes that make people laugh. They can open the door for a flood tide of the energy of joy simply by looking at someone with a blink in the eye or by smiling.

As you grow on the spiritual path, heal your psychological wounds and open your mind and heart to spiritual light, you will naturally become an electrode of joy. You will be able to dispel the gloom of a situation by just being the flame of joy in action.

Many Christians have an impression of me as being quiet and reserved. I do not know where that impression came from, because if you read the scriptures, you will see that I was not quiet or reserved when I challenged the scribes and the Pharisees. I was, and I am, a very direct Master, and I can assure you that I was quite outspoken. In fact, many people were offended by my outspokenness and directness. It is, however, correct that I did not often smile or laugh during my embodiment in Galilee. I knew I had a serious mission to fulfill, and from the point of no return at the wedding in Cana, I was so focused on meeting the daily tests and challenges that I had little attention left over for being joyful.

In retrospect, I wish I had been more joyful but at the time attention was focused on dealing with the heavy energies and the outer challenges I faced. Today, I would have been far less serious but then again it is easy to look back at the past and think you could have done better.

Nevertheless, I see no reason Christians today should take themselves, their religion or the spiritual side of life too seriously. Make an effort to bring joy into your spiritual life, because unless you become as joyful as little children, how can you enter the kingdom of joy? Make an effort to become an electrode of joy and dispel the cloud of gloom that currently hangs over this planet. So many people in today's world take themselves and their causes so seriously that they believe joyfulness is a sin, a crime or an offense to God. I can assure you that God is never offended by true joy. On the contrary, God is the most joyful being you will ever meet. How can there be anything but joy in the presence of God? Very Happy

I am with you always.
Which part of “always” don’t you understand?

Thy sins be forgiven thee.
Unfortunately, many people consider it a blank check.

"Ya Gotta Lighten Up!"

That's what Spirit is constantly reminding me as we sometimes take life a little too seriously. Here's a little joke I received from a very special Wink

friend that had me and all around me laughing out loud.... Very Happy

It feels like a JOKE from ABOVE Very Happy

Little Carol Very Happy

Little Carol came into the kitchen where her mother was making dinner. Christmas was coming up and she thought this was a good time to tell her mother what she wanted. "Mom, I want a bike for Christmas."

Now, Little Carol was a bit of a troublemaker. She had gotten into trouble at school and at home. Carol's mother asked her if she thought she deserved to get a bike for Christmas. Little Carol, of course, thought she did.

Carol's mother, being a Christian woman, wanted her to reflect on her behavior over the last year, and write a letter to God and tell him why she deserved a bike for Christmas. Little Carol stomped up the steps to her room and sat down to write God a letter.

LETTER 1:
Dear God:
I have been a very good girl this year and I would like a bike for Christmas. I want a red one.
Your friend,
Carol

Carol knew this wasn't true. She had not been a very good girl this year, so she tore up the letter and started over.

LETTER 2:
Dear God:
This is your friend Carol. I have been a pretty good girl this year, and I
would like a red bike for Christmas.
Thank you,
Carol

Carol knew this wasn't true either. She tore up the letter and started again.

LETTER 3:
Dear God:
I know I haven't been a good girl this year. I am very sorry. I will be a good girl if you just send me a red bike for Christmas.
Thank you,
Carol

Carol knew, even if it was true, this letter was not going to get her a bike. By now,
she was very upset. She went downstairs and told her mother she wanted to go to church.
Carol's mother thought her plan had worked because Carol looked very sad.

"Just be home in time for dinner," her mother said.

Carol walked down the street to the church and up to the altar. She looked around to see if anyone was there. She picked up a statue of the Virgin Mary, slipped it under her jacket and ran out of the church, down the street, into her house, and up to her room. She shut the door and sat down and wrote her letter to God.

LETTER 4:
I GOT YOUR MAMA.
IF YOU WANT TO SEE HER AGAIN, SEND THE BIKE.

Signed,
YOU KNOW WHO Laughing

LOVE YA ALL sooooo MUCH
Christ LOVE

I also wanted to share this one too Very Happy

.....Two 90-year-old women, Rose and Barb, had been friends all of their lives. When it was clear that Rose was dying, Barb visited her every day. One day Barb said, "Rose, we both loved playing women's softball all our lives, and we played it all through High School and beyond.

Please do me one favor, when you get to Heaven, somehow you must let me know if there's women's softball there."

Rose looked up at Barb from her deathbed, "Barb, you've been my best friend for many years. If it's at all possible, I'll do this favor for you." Shortly after that, Rose passed on.

At midnight a couple of nights later, Barb was awakened from a sound sleep by a blinding flash of white light and a voice calling out to her, "Barb, Barb." "Who is it?" asked Barb, sitting up suddenly. "Who is it?"

"Barb — it's me, Rose." "You're not Rose. Rose just died." "I'm telling you, it's me, Rose," insisted the voice.

"Rose! Where are you?"

"In Heaven," replied Rose. "I have some really good news and a little bad news."

"Tell me the good news first," said Barb.

"The good news," Rose said, "is that there IS softball in Heaven. Better yet, all of our old buddies who died before us are here, too. Better than that, we're all young again.

Better still, it's always springtime, and it never rains or snows. And best of all, we can play softball all we want, and we never get tired."

"That's fantastic," said Barb…. "It's beyond my wildest dreams! So what's the bad news?"

"You're pitching Tuesday." Laughing
