Heavenletter #5092 Self-Discovery, November 3, 2014

God said:
Now you have a clue as to Who you are and what your life is for. It used to be that you didn’t have a clue, and now you have a clue. You are still suspicious, yet you have a glimpse. This glimpse makes all the difference in the world.

If I were telling a tale, I would say that you are Columbus discovering a new world. Columbus discovered what he dreamed of. He was a discoverer, and so are you.

Ultimately, Columbus discovered himself in a New World. At the moment of this all-important startling self-discovery, Columbus blended with Me, and so will you. Every discovery has something to do with discovering yourself. You are entering a New World.

The path that Columbus had was very clear. It wasn’t an easy path, yet it was easy in that it became clear to him. At some point, Columbus had no doubt what his path was. He may not have thought of it as a path, yet he knew where he wanted to go. He got there. It didn’t matter that where he landed bore a different name from what he had thought. There was no mistake even as he had been mistaken.

You are on the course of your life, and you are getting here. Yet the direction you are going in is not so clearly defined. It is hazy. It is as though you are in the mist. What’s ahead is not so clear to you, and yet you are going there just the same.

Beloveds, whatever you pursue, you are in pursuit of yourself. When you reach the Heights of Discovery, then you are clearly able to let go of your individuality, and your life becomes Mine with alacrity. You are happy to turn in your individual life for Mine.

You have always known there was something great in the offing, and now you discover your very Greatness. You give yourself over to it. Without the will of ego, you recognize that your will and Mine are One and the Same. This is your Self-Discovery. This is what you are on Earth for.

This is a full-hearted discovery. This is what you have wanted all along, only what you really wanted wasn’t clear to you. Suddenly, it is clear, and what you want, now you have it. Ego dropped out of the race and left you in your True Glory. What a great place to be. You are, indeed, the Shining Light of the World. It is not that I move over. It is that you move up, and your light encompasses All That Is. You are no longer on the outskirts. You are no longer on a point of departure. You are arrived. You take off your disguises with sweeping gestures, and you are no longer surprised. You have caught up to yourself. Welcome, I say. Welcome to My Heart of Joy.

You give up nothing. You find everything. Ego slips away, and now you are the Sun That Shines in its full glory. It is High Noon now. You are a Blazing Sun, and that is enough. What more do you want? What more is there anyway? There is only less, and there is no going back. You are on Sacred Ground. Littleness has been overtaken. Littleness has been dissuaded. Littleness no longer exists. Everything you have ever wanted, even without knowing its name, is yours. You may have tiptoed here, yet you are here. You may have opened an unmarked door. It closed after you, and there is no going back. There is no wanting to go back. You have found the New Land. You have arrived.

Barriers no longer exist. Your feet are on Earth, and your heart is in Heaven. We are enjoined in Love. This is Oneness. Welcome Home, My Self.

Dear Ones,

Some of you believe ascension means the movement to another dimension, planet or location. Others of you firmly believe that ascension is merely a perspective or emotional approach. Both are correct assumptions.

Perhaps you believe there is one right answer to the ascension question - meaning there is also a wrong answer. If you are on a unique path would not that indicate several variations of the word ascension? And so there are.

Perhaps such a thought is frightening. How do you know you define ascension correctly? Should not some one somewhere defines it for you? Now we have returned to your 3D beliefs.

Ascension is a very personal experience not limited to one phrase or definition. You create your life - including your ascension piece.

Have not many of you accessed materials about 3D earth death? Some talk of bright lights. Others discuss how you become as angels once you leave earth. Others that family members who have transitioned before you will lovingly greet you at the pearly gates. Those definitions are all correct, just as is true for your ascension descriptors. You create your experiences and always have - in all dimensions and all locations.

Is it not interesting that you have no difficulty understanding you create your earth reality, but cannot envision that those creation abilities apply to all of you in all locations? Those who expect a specific environment during and after their earth transition will find it. Just as they found pain and joy in 3D. You are the creator of you on all levels and in all locations.

Did you expect that some sort of council would examine and create your new life after what you term earth death? That someone somewhere would inform you whether you had been a good or bad person on earth? That such judgments would determine how your being experienced your next environment, life or whatever term you wish to use?

Where is the godhead or council that will nudge/direct you to your next big adventure after your earth death transition? How can you be wise enough to do so yourself?

Once again, you return to your self-doubts and lack of self-worth. The truth is you create your reality at all times and on all levels of being - and always have. It is just that most of you have lived for so many eons on earth, you no longer believe in your abilities.

It is time to return to knowledge you have always had - you create your reality.

How is it possible for you to create your earth life and then lose that ability until you return to earth? As if only those of earth are wise enough to create their reality.

Did you believe that someone somewhere would be your guru once you exited earth? Such is a fairy tale.

You do not reduce your wisdom once you exit earth. Nor do you increase your wisdom for a short time - in whatever way you calculate time - only to revert to following the directives of someone wiser than you. Such is merely your logic given how long you believed following others was the only method of existing on the earth plane.

God, the Source, the Universes or whatever phrase you use is probably much different from what you now envision.

If you think of all there is as one entity, and that you are part of that entity with a different role than all other entities, you would have a more concrete concept of all there is.

For many retain the belief that the godhead, the Universes are wiser or somehow better than you. Perhaps such is true in their particular area of expertise, but not in totality. For you are creating your life to be part of all that there is, but a unique part. There is not one entity anywhere within all there is that knows as much about you as you. No one can give you directives within all there is, any more than someone now of earth can direct your life. You are your creator. And you create your being according to your interests and needs.

Just as a hair follicle is not that interested in learning how a tooth cell functions. Both hair and teeth cells work together to create the being that is you - but have different roles and functions. So it is that you are your own guru. Now and forever and always have been.

You are attracted to those places and entities that help you develop as you wish to develop.

While it is true you might bring in advisers - much as you might hire someone to help you tone your physical body - you are responsible for your body, not the trainer you hire to best to meet your physical body needs. And so it is that you are responsible for you - now and forever.

Perhaps you believe you do not yet know all you wish to know about you - so how can you be responsible for you?

You are an ongoing, dynamic self-contained creation and creator. So it is that you are all that you are now and forever. And you are creating the ascension experience you wish to create - and always have and always will. So be it. Amen.

Urantia.
Teacher: The Beloved One.
Subject: “Mind over Matter.”

Received by Lytske.

The Beloved One: “At the start of a brand-new day it is always fitting to offer a prayer of thanks to the Creator of all and silently wait to feel His wonderful and mysterious energy flowing through you. This makes you aware of how it is that this awakening brings another day to be of service to the All-That-Is, who gives life and takes it away on His own terms. Most mortals give little thought as to how come they are alive, or what might be their reason for living.

“This planet is populated by untold numbers of unawakened souls that don’t know that within them lives a great Gift — a Gift that helps them unfold and grow their infant souls. The budding development of the soul is the true gauge that will one day show the value embedded in it, so to be carried forward into eternity. The mortals on this planet do not pay much attention to the state of their souls and what they will carry with them into life hereafter. It is the possession of a soul filled with hope, faith and trust in the Maker of all things — visible and invisible — that provides the impetus to listen to His Still Voice within after mortals have opened their side of the communication channel.

“Over time it will clearly become a mind-over-matter issue to be able to listen to guidance, untrammeled by outward noises, especially those from the fearmongers, who live in denial of their Creator, or who, at the very least, display little faith and trust in the benevolent and loving over-care of the Creator. Their minds are so tuned to matter, that they forget that there is more to life than meets the eye. Their God-given minds are almost inactive as they believe all and any negative contrived news.

“For the deeper thinkers, their minds are now beginning to be used for what they were designed, but overall much more could be gained if their minds could join up with the Spark from God within. Great things can and do happen when the mind is used in the way it was intended. Each person — none will be exempted — shall be held accountable for that precious mind so freely bestowed upon them. Is it being used to further peace and goodwill on the planet? Perhaps. Is it left to the winds of change blowing about the planet, and in such a manner as to influence all by whatever news is dished up by those who have the hidden agenda for world domination?

“Those mortals will pass on, never having realized that they lived like slaves, for never having used any of the precious gifts embedded within them and never having tried to think outside the box. What travesty allowing others to do their thinking for them! What travesty to live life, but never having been truly alive, only to listen to the old stories running through their heads of what others told them!

“At any time there must certainly come a wake-up call for many to start practicing mind-over-matter — to start thinking for themselves and accept the responsibility for their lives and how to live.”

Viveka
Viveka is discrimination between the real and the unreal, permanent and impermanent, Self and the not-Self. Viveka dawns in a man on account of the grace of God. The grace can come only when one has done incessant selfless service in countless births with the feeling of Ishvararpana (offering unto God). The door of the higher mind is flung open when there is awakening of discrimination. There is an unchanging permanent principle amidst the ever-changing phenomena of the universe and the fleeting movements and oscillation of mind.
The five sheaths are floating in the universal consciousness like straw on water. The five changing koshas (sheaths) are mixed up with the eternal Atman (Self). There is childhood, boyhood, adolescence and old age for this physical body. But there is an unchanging background for this ever-changing body and mind, like the blackboard or screen in a cinema which manifests various forms and figures. The witness or the silent spectator of these changes of the body and mind is permanent and unchanging. He is like the all-pervading space. He pervades, permeates and interpenetrates all these changing forms like the thread in a garland of flowers. This eternal essence of Atman is present everywhere and in everything atoms, electrons, mustard, nay in ants and mountains. He dwells in the chambers of your own heart. He is the soul of this tree, stone, flower, goat, dog, cat, man, saint or devata (god). He is the common property of all, be he a saint or a sinner, a king or a peasant, a beggar or a baron, a scavenger or a cobbler. He is the very source for life and thought.
The aspirant should learn to discriminate between the eternal and unchanging substratum of all objects and the ever-changing names and forms. He should seriously engage himself at all times to separate the eternal unchanging self. He should try to separate himself from the changing, impermanent five sheaths, from the passions, emotions, feelings, thoughts, sentiments, nay from the oscillating mind itself. He should distinguish between the mind and the witness who moves and illumines the mind, between ordinary sensation, feelings and sentiments and perfect awareness of pure consciousness which remains unaffected and unattached, between personality and individuality. He must also separate himself from the adventitious false superimpositions of the body, viz., position, rank, avocation, birth, caste, stage, and order of life. These are all accidental appendages of the false personality.
