___________ My Personal Message___________

WOW! It has been another intense month. Talk about chaos and changes. I have been invited to shift my attitude from moment to moment. Mostly it has been outside circumstances that have affected my day and my work. Obviously, however, it is my inner circumstances that have attracted or called forth all that I have been dealing with. Knowing this does not really change the level of frustration.

My phones were out of commission for over a week and the internet was sporadic at best. This was all created by a repairman who canceled my phone service in error the afternoon before Thanksgiving when nothing could be done because of the holiday. I had a very busy schedule of sessions and had to cancel those appointments. Unfortunately, I dropped into 3D and responded with frustration, upset and levels of anger. The 'team' would gently remind me to use my tools and I would reset and hold the situation differently for a short while. However, dealing with the very complicated situation would plug me in again. I realized that even though it was baffling and extremely stressful, it was a first world problem.

Our area has been blessed with rain, days and days of wet for the first time in 3 years. We had a huge storm, the worst storm in 5 years, heavy rain and intense winds, lots of flooding and power outages. We welcome the rain for sure.

Thanksgiving is a time to celebrate my blessings, including work that I love to offer and that my daughters and grandchildren are all healthy and doing well. Thanksgiving was spent with family, good food, lots of football and sharing. The day was warm and I felt very grateful to be with my loved ones. I could have done without the football.

Now we are getting ready for the Christmas holiday and welcoming in the New Year. I always host a First Day Labyrinth Walk open house. I invite my friends and community to come walk their intentions for the coming year and have soup and hot cider. Last year, about 150 joined this event. In 1999 the 'team' invited me to create a labyrinth and it has been available for walkers since 2000, the beginning of the new millennium.

I am so grateful for my many blessings and the wonderful opportunities to offer this work to you my morning messages family. Our connection is precious; your shared stores and struggles as well as triumphs inspire me. I am blessed to have witnessed your sessions with the 'team' and the wonderful emails I've received. Heartfelt gratitude for all of your prayers. I am also grateful for your generous Bluesky financial gifts. Thank you from my heart, they are so appreciated.

May you be blessed a thousand fold. I love you and am so grateful for your support. You are such a cherished community to me. You truly enrich my life beyond measure. Together we will continue to offer our intentions and focus to create a life sustaining reality, a world in which all are honored and safe. I acknowledge your magnificence as together we anchor a new reality. Blessings of grace and joy, Peggy

_________ Message from the 'team' _________

Practice Heart Consciousness
Peggy Black and the 'team'

We are here, ready to share as we observe your experiences as well as the challenges that are accelerating in your reality. We once again acknowledge your courage and willingness to be embodied. Each of you has known worlds and realities that offer peace, creativity and deep abiding love.

This life experience and focus is far different than what you remember as pure conscious energy. Your earthly reality offers much beauty, many moments that touch in profound ways and rich,   poignant connections with others. It also offers many extreme and intense challenges, both personal as well as collective.

You are here, as you know, to cherish all that this physical existence offers you while being the agent of change and transformation of that life. We have shared this concept with you in many of our messages. We also acknowledge you for your service as you personally strive to make the difference in the collective consciousness.

There is great polarity and chaos occurring in the consciousness of humanity. It is manifesting in the conflicts and violence you are witnessing.

When each individual owns and recognizes that they are part of all that is unfolding, when each individual puts aside judgment, when each individual takes responsibility and begins to heal the wounds they carry, there will begin to be a shift in the collective response.

We have used your word love rarely in our messages. We have invited you to offer your gratitude and appreciation as well as your joy. These emotional vibrations are easier for you to offer, because they do not elicit the same complexities as the word and the emotion of love.

The emotion of love has many flavors, many expressions. From our observation, the emotion and offering of love usually comes with an agenda. Beliefs and patterns have been established very early in your embodiment that regulate your personal behavior and expression of love. Love that is given is usually conditional. This becomes amplified as you move through your life and interface with others.

Often you become cautious about how and with whom you share your love. The idea that you are a multidimensional divine being of light, here on this planet at this time to express "unconditional love," is a concept that you have heard often. Yet what is "unconditional love" and how do you actually express this form of love.

First, we invite you to observe self and gently, without judgment look at how you hold the expressions of love that you offer or even withhold from others. Notice when, where and how you allow yourself to give your love; notice with whom are you willing to share your love. That is the beginning.

Allow yourself to remember, observe and heal all the wounds you might still be carrying in your heart. Use the energy tools that you have collected along the way. Use sound to release any old pain, grief or sorrow, any feelings of being unloved, unseen, or rejected by anyone, and this includes yourself. Breathe into these emotions and allow a sound to express what you are feeling. Allow the vibrations to shift from an incoherent frequency to a coherent smooth vibration that is life sustaining.

Notice how you might withhold love from yourself. Notice how you guard your heart and the feelings of love generated there. Observe when and why you might have closed your heart in the offering of love. We invite you to begin to forgive self and others in regard to this feeling and expression of love. Begin to heal the wounded heart.

This is the exercise of an awakened being who is truly ready and willing to make a difference in the lives of others as well as in their own life. We have shared the importance of healing your heart portal and chakra for the transformation and ascension of humanity and the planet. We support and encourage you to energetically and emotionally clean out your heart space and begin to express more love.

We remind you once again that your heart's electrical field is greater in amplitude than the electrical activity generated by your brain. The magnetic field radiating from the heart is thousands of times more expansive in strength than the energy frequencies generated by the physical brain.

Your heart vibrations radiate out and connect with the collective heart vibrations of everyone. Your heart is a portal; your heart is a gateway that connects you to your galactic self, to one another, to the matrix of this planet, to all dimensions and to the stars. It is the intelligence of your heart that offers personal and global healing.

It is within your sacred heart that you offer this alchemical process of transformation. This is where there is a merger of all that is in a space and the vibration of love. The chalice of your heart holds the ability of healing the collective consciousness. As a galactic citizen, a being of divine light, it is important for you to anchor this healing and the expression of love as you personally transform and release the physical human grief, sadness and regret you are carrying.

The consciousness of the collective heart energy is suffering. Individuals acting out of their personal wounds have closed their hearts, unaware that their pain is being amplified and magnified to everyone. Remember when you do this work on a personal level you are also transmuting the wounds held in the collective heart matrix.

We invite you to begin to offer love, as unconditionally as possible, to all those who are expressing their personal pain in acts of violence, in acts that are life diminishing. Your intentions connected with the profound power of your heart can and will transform all that is touched.

It is so important for you to realize and own that when you practice heart consciousness, sending unconditional love to those who are causing the most harm, it truly uplifts the events and actions.

You are here to uplift this misqualified energy; this is your service and responsibility. You as a collective are ascending to the higher dimensions and in order to move to these higher frequencies, the heart of humanity is required to be open, healed and radiating love.

Practice radiating unconditional love, joy, gratitude and appreciation from the heart. Allow yourself to offer love more often. Allow yourself to realize how powerful your love generated from your heart chalice truly is. Allow yourself to see your sacred heart space filled with love for all, especially those who act in an unlovable manner. It is time that the expression of love is honored, offered and manifest in its highest form.

We offer you our support, acknowledgment, and gratitude as well as our unconditional love. Allow yourself to receive all that is being given. You are a beautiful being filled with love that transforms everything it touches. Accept this, know this and act from this awareness.

Divine Self.
Subject: “A Lesson Learnt in Time.”

Received by Helen Whitworth.

Divine Self: “All memories belong to the collective subconscious. It is not always apparent as to which time they belong for the linearity of time is not as you experience it within human frame. Never expect the order of action to follow the order of reaction. A lesson learnt in time may be from some time past or yet to come. Each lesson though contributes to the widening sphere of consciousness and is valuable in its own sake.

“Some people have more free access to the libraries than others, an easier time of it accessing the information with which they may learn at this ‘moment’, however that is because their path calls for that access. For others part of the expansion of consciousness may be intrinsically linked with having to ‘find out from scratch’ from within differing perspective and circumstance.

“You collate, file, and draw whole pictures from information available to you. It is different work. No better or worse, but part of who you are. Never expect or otherwise for circumstances to continue or otherwise for that is an irrelevancy, just live each day in the moment and take joy in the moments of calm and understanding, a pleasure from insight and a passion for your goals. Then you cannot help to Be that which you truly Are and to follow your own unique path in the direction that I wish to travel, alongside you as my tender, funny, mortal companion, exploring so daringly the animal side of your nature at the moment, you, who are eons old and who’s experience will see this as both brilliant and inconsequential in future ... just one more piece of the jigsaw without which the jigsaw will not be complete.

“Go now, and rest in me. Expand your mind and enjoy your body, and cling not to another, yet understand that all are of the same ultimate spirit, and that we all dance together.”

Sivananda Daily Reading

Moksha Gita - 3
Avidya (ignorance) is malina satva (weakened purity). It is the upadhi (limiting adjunct) of jiva (individual soul). It is the karana sarira (causal body) of the individual soul. Avidya is anandamaya kosha. Avidya is a false perception by which the ignorant jiva takes the body and intellect as pure, permanent and a source of pleasure.
Just as a king acts the part of a beggar out of his own free will on the stage in a drama, so also the Satchidananda Brahman acts the part of a jiva in the drama of the world out of his own free will for sport.
Just as men with a defective vision behold a white thing as yellow, so does one perceive the Self as the body on account of avidya or ignorance.
When one gets knowledge of the Self, this avidya vanishes. It is the destruction of avidya that is the Brahmic seat.
Just as the mirror is dimmed by dirt, so Brahman is veiled by avidya. Therefore human beings are deluded by this avidya. Mind, senses, egoism, intellect and body are the efforts of avidya. If the cause is destroyed, the effects are destroyed by themselves.
This universe of names and forms has its origin in ignorance. It is dissolved by knowledge of the self. The universe, being other than the self, is unreal and like a dream. It is like a mirage.
Just as a snake is superimposed on the rope, silver on the mother-of-pearl, a thief in the post, city in the clouds, mirage in the desert, blueness in the sky, so also this world is superimposed on Brahman.
Just as it is water alone that appears as waves, ripples, etc., gold alone as ear rings, bangles, etc., clay alone as pots, jars, etc., threads alone as cloth, towel, etc., so also does Brahman alone appear as many universes.
Children regard a wooden elephant as an elephant, but the grown-up persons treat it as wood.
Even so the wise behold only Brahman everywhere but the ignorant perceive the non-Self only. The whole universe is within Brahman. It appears as external to you, just as your body appears external to you in the mirror on account of maya (illusion).
Just as a man does not behold the object which he has seen in his dream when awake, so also the jivanmukta (liberated sage) does not perceive the universe after he attains knowledge of Brahman.

God is always bringing us closer to Him.

Heavenletter #5135 The Squeaky Wheel, December 16, 2014

God said:

Rise above the daily inconveniences. Inconveniences are only inconveniences. Annoyances are only annoyances. Frustration is only frustration. Who says that everything has to be smooth for you at every moment? You are not to give a high rating to the little matters that you let become big. Save yourself from daily frustration. Annoyances happen. You are the one who rates them as frustration. You are the one who says how momentous they are.

Most inconveniences will resolve themselves one way or another, or you resolve them. There are remedies. You have an important deadline, and your computer doesn’t cooperate. It is not the end of the world, although it may too often seem like that to you.

Tell Me, dear ones, when your computer connection starts to work just fine again, is your happiness quotient as big as your unhappiness quotient was? Probably not. Your jumping for joy doesn’t begin to jump to the height your frustration did. Is this not so?

Have you convinced yourself that the negative aspects of life are more noteworthy than the positive aspects of life? What would you do that for? It would appear that frustration makes the grade while smooth-running is just so-so and taken for granted. A thorn in your side seems to merit far more attention. It is as if you are under the spell of thorns.

A little difficulty gets your attention all right. Of course, you tend to think it is a mammoth difficulty. Change that around. Don’t let the squeaky wheel get all the grease. Give plaudits to all the matters that you presently take for granted. Consider them your children. Give them a pat on the back. Think big, beloveds. Details in life also deserve encouragement.

Thank God for smooth-running of the Universe, even the Universe of your immediate environment. And even if you stub your toe, thank God, you have a toe to stub.

If everything at the office seems to be an impediment today, thank God for all the times everything ran well. Be fair. Be fair-minded. A little appreciation goes a long way.

If you get a flat, don’t kick your tire. The tire did its best. Now, you do yours.

Frustration is not to be the master of your life. Flexibility and kindness -- let’s say it – are to be the masters of your life. Love is to be the master of your life. That is, you are to master love in the little things. This is your challenge. And this is your destiny. You are to be a good sport and take inconveniences graciously. Even a torrent of rain has its favorable aspects. It waters the flowers. It is small-sighted to think only of your personal convenience or inconvenience.

Deal well with the small matters. This flexes your muscles. Promote yourself to a higher grade of response. This is how you are to live day by day. This isn’t too much to ask of you, is it?

Be unspoiled, beloveds. Take life in your stride. No internal or external tantrums, agreed? If there is a day when you can’t seem to make your day-to-day life better, then make the lives of others around you better. Give someone else some good fortune. How quickly whatever you have been going through will settle down, that is: You will settle down. You will put your feet up and a pillow under your head, and you will recline, and you will know that life is good no matter what it looked like to you a moment ago.

Give yourself an idea that you are the blessed of the blessed. You can see the sun shine, and you can feel the fresh rain. It’s okay if your clothes, dried outside on the line earlier, get wet again. They will dry again. Nothing is lost. Everything is gained. You are moving forward. This is what you do. This is how you make progress. One foot after the other. And all is well, even when you are not convinced. If it is possible for you to see this wisdom later, you might as well see it now.
