Teacher: The Beloved One. 
Subject: “Making Spiritual Progress.” 

Received by Lytske. 

The Beloved One: “Well then, finally an answer to your silent question: “Am I making progress in my inner life?” The long and the short answers would be that this weighty question is best answered by you. However, your hidden longing is to gain confirmation from me that is beyond doubt. As long as you entertain self-limiting thoughts, and you de-value yourself as a child from the Most High God, you have more work to do. This has nothing whatsoever to do with destroying your ego. It is simply a matter of becoming more balanced, and having a calm demeanor, without being thrown about by the winds of change around you. It is also by not being disturbed by negative comments from others, which might send you right back into a self-limiting mode. 

“The Eternal Creator has a special design for each mortal, given to each new human offspring drawing its first breath. It is this divine blueprint embedded in each one, with the freedom to discover this wonderful secret for the self. And this is especially the case on this precious bestowal planet of the Ruler of this Universe in which your tiny blue orb is located. Some humans, who had not discovered this truth of their being, or where unwilling to discover this truth, once conspired to nail Him to a cross of wood. They lost thereby the chance for their race to remain the chosen people to proclaim the good news of a loving Creator God to all the peoples of this Earth. This promise was made by a certain Melchizedek to father Abraham some time before Jesus’ coming. This good news message continued to be passed on by many prophets and seers to keep the promise alive. 

“Here we see in this sordid tale how un-progressive humans can be when they pay no heed to the warnings that had sounded throughout their history. Instead they persisted on remaining stuck in old worn-out dogmas and laws, instead of heeding the warnings of their olden prophets. The resounding message of John the Baptist – the forerunner of Jesus – to prepare the way for the Messiah, was also ignored by the rulers of the people. 

“This, my child, shows the true small-mindedness of a people, who could have made this world a better place. Instead unbelief and greed were the reason for their downfall. They forfeited this promised gift of announcing the good news by their refusal and non-acceptance to become the teachers of Jesus’ message of God’s unconditional love for each who had an ear to hear and to accept His loving message in their hearts. 

“Put in simple terms, progress and beginning to fulfill that precious divine blueprint happen through listening more carefully to the Guiding Light within. Also, one must not diminish this Light, but instead feed one’s own light by ensuring that one’s end of the communication lines to God is open, in order to take advantage of that pilot light within each one. This is entirely possible. However, since you humans have been given free will, it depends on your willingness to take the time each day to converse with that most valuable and awesome Spark from God within, as this is the most important way of making spiritual progress.”

Heavenletter #5081 Crowded in Time and Space, October 23, 2014 

God said: 

Everyone on Earth is a Divine Being. On Earth, you are also a human being. In other words, you are Soul, and you are also human being. You are Divine and you are also physical, and therein lies the rub.
 
Yes, you can reach far further than you imagine, and you can accomplish far greater than you imagine. Yes, you are a Super Human Being, yet you are not yet Superman who can leap tall buildings in a single bound. In a body, you get bogged down in time and space. Truly, you are beyond time. You are Infinite. This is not a new idea to you, that you are Infinite. Of course, You can accomplish far more than you imagine, yet there is a bugaboo called time. So long as a clock is ticking, there are only twenty-four hours in a day, and there are limitations put upon you. You are unlimited, yet on Earth, you are limited by time and space. In time and space, you can be too crowded.
 
There is no way I ask you to over-extend yourself on Earth. Exhaustion is not a virtue.
 
Certainly, there are occasions when you exert yourselves. There is a deadline. You want to keep your job. An employee doesn’t come in, and you have to work a double shift. You are a doctor on call, and you give up much of your time to the care of others. You are a mother, and sometimes mothers work around the clock.
 
I am also exhorting you to take care of yourself and make time for yourself. A mother is not going to set her baby aside and put her rest first. A doctor is not going to deny his patients their care and so on. At the same time, you can’t do everything and be everything to everyone and leave yourself out of the equation. If you weigh 100 pounds, you probably can’t lift 100 pounds eight hours a day.
 
There is physical pressure put on you. There is time pressure put on you. It is good to take responsibility and work hard. There is good in being stretched.
 
You know that I suggest you take a day of rest. Not a bad idea. I am the exception. I do not take a day off. I always manage the store, so to speak, yet I am never ruffled. I am never overextended. I am resting all the time in deep love and silence. I do not wear a body nor can I be worn down. I do not overdo myself, nor can your soul, and yet your body may well need time off. Perhaps your feet. Perhaps your eyes. Most of all, you do not want to feel pressured in life. If you feel pressured, unpressure yourself.
 
You do not have to have a perfect balance. It’s an arbitrary figure – eight-hour work day. People have worked from sun-up to sundown, and there are some who still do today. There are some who never get a day off. Your work can be a joy to you, and, nevertheless, you can be overwhelmed by how much you have to do. Change something in your attitude. As in everything on Earth, you are your own solution. Mostly it is your idea of being pressured that pressures you. Consider work a reward, and see what happens. At the same time, if you need a break, find a way for that as well.
 
Bear in mind that those who do not have daily work also feel a different kind of pressure. Pressure can be independent of how much you work. Pressure is something you add or subtract to the concept of work. Who decides if you are overdoing? You do, beloveds.  
 
Allow yourself to love your work. Work is part of life. It is a great part of life. And work can be great of itself. The word work may not have a good rep. It would be good to find a new name for work. Perhaps We could call work Time Well-Spent or Focused Time Enjoyed or Time-Off, and make it so.

Resonating in Alignment with the Creator by University Collective Consciousness of Sirius
Channelled through Natalie Glasson- 24th October 2014- www.omna.org
You are connected to every being upon the Earth and the inner planes therefore you move as one and that one is the
Creator. There are multiple levels of the Creator’s light, consciousness and love and yet all exist in harmony as one.
The Creator is a source of energy and light which is continuously in a state of flow and active vibration which means
all aspects of the Creator experience the same flow. It is the flow of the Creator which moves continuously and
automatically through our beings which allows connection of all aspects of the Creator as one. Oneness could be
described as team work, all souls working together in unison or accepting and sharing with each other in unison. The
Creator is in a continuous active experience of simultaneous giving and receiving, thus constantly fulfilling and being
fulfilled, recognising and being recognised, awakening and being awakened, accepting and being accepted, and
connecting and being a connection. That which the Creator shares is simultaneously experienced within, it is
impossible to comprehend or understand whether the Creator first gives and then receives or first receives and then
gives due to the fact they occur simultaneously. Every soul is an aspect of the Creator and therefore composed of the
same energy, when we allow ourselves to recognise that which we see within our own beings within others and that
which we recognise within others within ourselves we begin to realise we all are existing in unison, our higher aspect
goals and desires are the same, every person and being is simply expressing the different and diverse aspects of the
Creator to bring fullness and experience to our resonance with the Creator as well as aiding our understanding of
ourselves as the Creator, even if only as a smaller form of all that is the Creator.
If we can acknowledge we are all composed of the same energy whether we exist in physical form like yourself or in
energetic form on the inner planes as we do, then we allow ourselves to feel a sensation of connection within our
beings which is eternal, supportive and completely true; it is the divine flow, a connection to all things and beings. If
you dissolve the belief of separation and accept the divine flow of the Creator, it is realised that we are all a part of a
major river constantly connected and working in unison, continuously transforming and expanding. Therefore you have
access to all you require for your lifetime and entire existence on the inner planes. It is only your perspective which has
accepted the reality of lack which is due to the belief that all things including yourself are disconnected from the
Creator and each other.
When you exist in a family, whether large or small, you may feel a connection, there is no physical evidence that
describes your connection. There may be physical resemblance and emotional bonds which act as evidence to you,
and yet without physical connection describing your unity you continue to feel links. It is as if you extend from a source,
whether you are in physical contact or communication with your family or not. This acts as a replica or a symbol to you
that you are connected to all beings; the Creator is the source or family you are born from and it is the same for every
being, you are all members of the same family. Although not physical connected or maybe not in communication there
is a bond, the same that can be found in families which ties you all together in oneness.
Every person/ soul on the Earth or the inner planes expresses the diverse and different qualities of the Creator as a
way of paving a journey of resonance and remembrance of their divine family and source; the Creator. There is
constant similarity between every person and soul which could be described as a core resonance and yet we all allow
ourselves to express the colourful spectrum of the Creator as a way of experiencing all that is the Creator. The
diversity and similarity of expressions of the Creator could be seen as duality and yet it is a period of great
exploration which will gradually dissolve as we all notice the Creator in a similar way. This will symbolise those on the
Earth and the inner planes have aligned with and resonate as one with all that is the Creator. It is in this moment of all
aspects of the Creator aligning and vibration harmoniously with the Creator we will experience the divine flow, which
is our eternal connection and oneness to all. It is important to recognise this period of ascension as an exploration of
the similarities and diversities of the Creator within all, rejoicing and celebrating the expression of the Creator pouring
from all. It is through this expression and acceptance of all aspects of the Creator on the Earth and the inner planes
alignment and resonance will form which you will recognise as love, peace, security and harmony.
Not only are souls expressing different and yet familiar aspects of the Creator, there are also different levels of
resonance and acceptance of the Creator. You may find you resonate more fully with the Creator than your friend or
neighbour, meaning you have opened up to accept an aspect of the Creator more fully. This doesn’t mean you are
better in anyway it simply means you are connecting with a certain level of resonance with the Creator which is a
different level to your friend or neighbour. While you may feel completely different to others around you, as if you are
on a different wave length or a different perspective you are actually vibrating in unison with souls across the world
and universe you may not know. Imagine the levels of resonance, alignment and acceptance of the Creator within your
being as different colours of light. For example, your resonance with the Creator may be on a yellow level while your
friend or neighbour may be on a red level, both are equal and active exploration processes of and with the Creator.
There are numerous people on the Earth who are connected with the yellow level and the red level and so forth,
creating groups of consciousness and resonance with the Creator. As people awaken, they move to different levels
and groups adding their energy and consciousness to the group. Eventually all groups will merge and unite as one.
The purpose of my explanation is to share with you there are many people and souls across the world and the
universe which you share the same resonance to the Creator with, resulting in similar perspectives, actions and
beliefs. You are connected to these people, they support you and you support them even though you may not have
physically met. Thus you have a powerful source of connection and supportive power, you are never alone and you will
attract into your reality these people more and more so you can resonate with the Creator together in harmony.
These levels of consciousness can create friction as one person may not be able to feel a resonance or
understanding of another. Please know connection is always present as is a familiarity and similarity, due to the
experience that the other is not on a similar vibration of resonance and alignment with the Creator as you, you are
invited and being asked to expand and extend your boundaries through the actions of acceptance and compassion.
As you move your boundaries you actually allow your level of consciousness and resonance with the Creator to merge
with the other person and their resonance to merge with you thus unity on a deeper and more profound scale of the
aspects of the Creator is born. Moving your own boundaries of resonance with the Creator through acceptance of
others and all allows you to resonate more perfectly with the Creator as well as creating major shifts within the
universe, ascension and consciousness of humanity; a very powerful impact.
When you find yourself judging, resisting or arguing vocally or energetically with another make yourself aware this is a
divine opportunity for all aspects of the Creator to unite through you and your actions in this situation. Recognise your
entire energy may vibrate as a different rhythm to the other due to your resonance and alignment with the Creator and
yet you are both apart of the divine flow of the Creator so eternally connected. Consciously invite yourself to expand
your boundaries of resonance with the Creator to accept a new merged resonance with the Creator. This is not to
accept or merge with the energies of the other but to merge with their alignment and resonance with the Creator
which is pure thus strengthening your own and the others. The actions of acceptance and compassion allow your
boundaries to expand and recognition of the both of you as the same. Through your compassion and acceptance you
are allowing aspects of the Creator to merge which is influencing, inspiring and supporting all you are connected to
which is all that is the Creator; everything.
It is our wish for you to also contemplate the understanding of the Creator  being in a continuous active experience of
simultaneous giving and receiving, thus constantly fulfilling and being fulfilled, recognising and being recognised,
awakening and being awakened, accepting and being accepted, and connecting and being a connection, all
simultaneously. Do you perceive the same within your reality and experiences? It is your divine right to give and
receive simultaneously. Often when we give and expect something in return it doesn’t come, when we learn to give
without expectation of receiving we align ourselves with an aspect or part of the divine flow of the Creator. This allows
us to trust in the constant flow of the Creator, with trust we begin to notice ourselves opening up to receive, therefore
trusting in the flow of the Creator from us and to us. As the trust grows we allow ourselves to awaken to the reality of
receiving and giving being simultaneous. This may be experienced first within your being and then within your reality,
it symbolises your deeper resonance with the Creator as you accept the divine flow of the Creator. It is as if you are
chiming in time with the Creator accepting your divinity and truth.
Trust is a powerful tool; it is good to notice in your perspective areas of trust and distrust, acknowledging whether trust
is justified or needed and where trust requires enhancement.
With connection and love,
University Collective Consciousness of Sirius

Sivananda Daily Reading

Maya 
There is no duality in reality. All modification is illusory; multiplicity is an illusion.
Maya (the illusory power of the Lord) projects multiplicity. Maya creates division -­ division between the individual soul and the Supreme Soul.
Maya is a tremendous, delusive power of God. Maya is the material stuff of this world. Maya is the source of the physical universe. This world of names and forms is a false show kept up by the jugglery of Maya. Just as a stick burning at one end, when waved round quickly, produces an illusion of a circle of fire, so is it with the multiplicity of the world. Maya deludes us. Maya creates havoc in the mind. The things that we perceive all round us are only mind in form or substance. The world is a product of the mind. The whole world is an expansion of the mind. The entire universe arises and exists in the mind. Nothing of the world is outside the mind. Earth, mountains and rivers ­ all are fragments of the mind, appearing as it were, to exist outside. The world does not exist by itself. It is not seen without the aid of the mind. It disappears when the mind ceases to function, as in deep sleep.
It is imagination alone that assumes the forms of time, space and motion. Space and time have no independent status apart from Brahman or the self, which is pure awareness. There is no space without time, and there is no time without space. Space and time go together. Space and time are interdependent. They are both unreal. Time and space are mental projections, as unreal as dreams. However real they may seem to be, they are not ultimately real. Timeless, spaceless Brahman is the only reality.
Brahman alone is. It is Brahman alone that shines as the world of variegated objects, like water differentiated by the waves into many kinds of foam, bubbles, etc. Brahman appears as the world when cognised through the mind and the senses.
- - -
Maya conceals the truth and presents an error ­ it veils the reality and shows the world. Mistaking the body for Atman or the Self is called Maya. Maya screens the knowledge of Atman and therefore man mistakes one for the other. This is the cause of bondage -­ we have the erroneous consciousness that we are objective beings, that our actions are objective expressions projected in time and space.
