God said: Your long-term and short-term purposes are for expansion. Think big. Expand your horizons.
Expand your horizons, and you expand your consciousness. See bigger, and you think bigger. There is nothing you have to hold
onto for dear life. The fact is that you have to let go for dear life. When you hold on tight, your arms are closed. When
you let go, your arms are open. Of course, now We speak of heart and mind being wide open. If you can open your mouth
wide when you are at the dentist, what would keep you from opening your heart and mind wide when you are with Me? And, of
course, you are always with Me. Closed thinking compresses you. Open thinking expresses you. Whether you physically
travel or not, your heart and mind are destined to be on the move. Your eyes do not look in one place. Your eyes try to catch
everything in sight. Your eyes work with your mind and heart. Your eyes are like gatherers. Your heart and mind are hunters
and gatherers, always on the hunt for new fields of exploration. Whatever you have discovered, there is more for you to discover.
Even if you stay in the same house, the same job, the same everything, you are exploring further afield. How else can you
grow and learn unless you expand your horizons? There is always further and greater to expand to. At heart, you are
not a settler. Your heart and mind are avid pioneers. They have a great appetite. Go out and get them some good food, something
they have never tasted before or never tasted in exactly the same way. New is the by-word for you today. New
expansion. Expansion is always new, or it isn’t expansion. Sometimes, often, expansion is a rearranging of what already
is. Rearranging is also new. Think something you never thought before. Dream something you never dreamed before. Try something
you never tried before. We are speaking of active thinking and not following blindly an old track that your feet have memorized
and you could follow blindfolded. Consider yourself entering a space ship or going deep into the ground or reaching
the stars and catching them. Do something for the fun of it, not the seriousness of it. Engage your heart, soup up your mind,
and away We go. Let Us be on the forefront together. No longer sit in the back row. Front seats belong to Us. Hey,
even get up on stage on My behalf. Do something different. Do something. Even if you discover it doesn’t work, you are
ahead. Never mind about revolutionizing the world. Revolutionize yourself. Get those immovable parts of yourself moving.
Invent something. Invent a new game. Curl your hair. Straighten your hair. Cut your hair. Let your hair grow. Look,
your hair grows. You let it. Now let your heart and mind grow. Give them the freedom. Free yourself, and free the world. Who
is holding you back on the farm? You are the only one. And if you have never been on the farm, who keeps you in the city?
Hey, explore the farm and the city even if you have lived there all your life. With whose eyes have you seen? Where have you
been looking? Where have you not been looking? What have you been hiding from, and why would you hide when the whole world
is calling to you? What fruit have you never tasted? And what have you been eating every day? What can the same ingredients
create that you have never tried? Do a cartwheel. Lead yourself into the green pastures. |

– เทวประภาส มากคล้าย Part 6 of a Message
Received by Mercedes Kirkel
On November 19, 2014Question: Mary, I feel this spiritual quickening
in my life and I’m having trouble keeping up. Do you have any advice how to keep in balance with this? Things are just
coming so fast. How do I integrate my physical life with the quickening of the spiritual life? The physical life is so slow
and the spiritual life is so quick. I don’t know how to integrate that so that the physical life is in balance with
the spiritual. Mary Magdalene: It requires
letting go. The more you’re holding on, the harder it will be—the more impossible, ultimately, it will be. The
more you let go and surrender, then you will be able to do everything that is necessary to do. Questioner: I don’t know what you mean by surrendering and let go. Can you explain that a
little more? Mary Magdalene: It’s calling
for a greater degree of letting go, which is ultimately letting go in God. The first step is to become aware of how you may
be holding on, trying to do it by third-dimensional, mechanical means. That is becoming less and less viable. Part of this spiritual process is that you are in a process of transforming how
things will get accomplished. More and more you’re being called upon to let go in God and let God direct you as to what
to do. That will be the way that will be perfect. Questioner:
(Taking a big breath) OK, I can do it. Mary Magdalene:
You’ll get instant feedback whether you are doing it or not! (She laughs.) Questioner: Thank you. Mary
Magdalene: This process of letting go of the third dimension is not easy. Your attachments to the third dimension
are profound, profound. It is a kind of a death process. It is what beings experience when they let go of the third dimension
in dying, and how difficult that is for many. This is part of why you practice things like meditation, because meditation
is a form of that letting go, that release. Meditation trains you to more and more come from that place. There are these processes,
and there are many various forms, but if it is a true meditation it is helping you to let go. That may be something to do
more of. Questioner: Right, absolutely. Thank
you. I still would like a little bit of clarity about how we
are in the third dimension but also letting go of it. It sort of sounds like a contradiction. Mary Magdalene: You’re letting go of the third dimensional process of being. Questioner: Process of being vs. actually being here. We aren’t
dying, we are just… Mary Magdalene:
Right. You’re more and more integrating a higher-dimensional way of being, even while you’re still here. You may
be partly in the higher dimension. It may be a percentage of being here and being there. The third dimension is very much about power. The way in the third dimension is about bringing power, or you might
say “force,” to doing things. Many people are familiar with this when they think about willpower, doing things
in a willful way. You’re now learning a different way and seeing that, more and more, the willful, forceful way causes
great conflict and tension, and ultimately doesn’t work. As things get faster and faster, it will work less and less. ©2015 Mercedes Kirkel, http://www.mercedeskirkel.com, All Rights Reserved. Permission is given to share this message as long as the message is posted in its

03 May 2015 02:18 AM PDT Love Leads to God Truth, mercy, humility, self-control, purity,
devotion, courage, dispassion, discrimination, serenity, equilibrium are the doors to liberation. Contentment is the greatest
virtue it makes a man richer than an emperor. It brings every blessing and everlasting peace. Bearing insult and
injury is saintliness. Justice, mercy, compassion, honesty, selfless service, sacrifice, self-restraint, are the ingredients
or limbs of "Be good, do good", yoga. Self-control, charity, courage, compassion, humility, non-violence, truthfulness, purity and serenity are the cardinal
virtues. Self-control means the control of the lower self by the higher Self for the realisation of the Self. The five virtues
that lead to supreme blessedness are: truth, integrity, kindness, generosity and gentleness. Humility is the arch enemy of
egoism. Therefore cultivate humility and egoism will perish. True humility is a mighty spiritual force. It is born of supreme-realisation.
Courage, humility, purity,
love and truthfulness are the real virtues of a man. Vrata is the practice of self-denial it is a vow. There is
a spirit of renunciation in every individual. It develops will power. Obedience is better than reverence. Obedience is better
than sacrifice. Obedience is the secret of discipline. Kindness and love are the foods which sustain the soul within each
one. Is there one single virtue
that will contribute to make the world a better place or a happier place? Is not unselfishness that virtue? Disinterested
kindness is the highest virtue. The
nearest approach to truth or God is through love. Faith, devotion and love are immortal sisters. Love of God arises in the
heart that is desireless. Love divine is the only solvent the one great healer and forgiver. Love opens the doors
of intuition. Love is the marriage of the individual soul and the supreme soul. The first condition of union with God is a
state of love.  | 4 May Posted:
03 May 2015 02:17 AM PDT Divine Wisdom There is nothing eternal but He, and there is
no God besides Him. He is neither body, nor shape, nor form, nor person. He is chaitanya (or absolute pure consciousness).
God is formless and yet He is the form of all forms. God's beauty is love and His love is beauty. There is a power higher than yours, little man! Some of your desires
are realised but many are thwarted. There is an over ruling power which brings results and consequences, irrespective of your
wishes and volition. This power is God. Man has no volitional power or control over events. He is not a dictator of the future. God draws him hither and thither
as he deserves. When there is an engine, there must be an engine driver to control and direct it. Mind is the greatest engine
and the engine driver is God He is the mind of all minds. God possesses the eight supreme attributes: absolute self-control, absolute purity,
absolute intuition, omniscience, absolute freedom, boundless grace, omnipotence and boundless bliss. Mind is a power of God. Energy is a power of God. Matter is a power
of God. God is not only all power, all-wisdom, he is all-embracing love who freely gives his grace. Love is joy
the divine power is wisdom and love combined. There is no separation between divine power, wisdom and love. There is no copyright
in God - His property is for universal use. Tulsidas and Mira saw God with their fleshy eyes you too can see God
with your normal eyes. You must go through the necessary disciplines and destroy egoism. My God thou art my hope, my rest, my delight, my centre, my ideal, my goal, my soul, my all in all. O Lord! I am in you and you are in me.
I am He whom I love, and He
whom I love is I. O wisdom
divine! Enlighten my mind. O
love divine! Fill my heart with purity. |

A Difficult and Enchanting Month of May
The astrology of May features Mercury, Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune and Pluto. There is quite a bit of emphasis on Neptune in the April 18th New Moon that began the current monthly cycle, with Jupiter also emphasized, being across the zodiac from most of the other planets, in aspect to Pluto, and in a T-square with the Sun and Moon at the time of the May 3rd Full Moon configuration. Later in the month, Mercury turns to backward motion in its own sign of Gemini. This means that that after May 18th we will have all the usual symptoms of the Mercury Retrograde periods, in Air signs all this year, to include missed communications, mechanical breakdowns and plans that
go awry without warning. Mercury turns to direct motion on June 11th, still in Gemini, and does not escape its retrograde shadow until the 26th. This second half of May thus represents an excellent
time for some constructive introspection, and for journaling or other activities designed to put us into a more complete understanding
of our current arc of development, as well as how to give this important inwardly-oriented task a boost where needed.
The transformative energies of Pluto are also still very much with us, even while this month sees a temporary retreat from the recent series of
close collisions with Uranus. At the timing of the recent mid-April New Moon, a yod was formed from Neptune and Pluto to positive and expansive Jupiter, bringing a definite sense of serious productive change to the way we see our faith blossoming into a beneficial
future for ourselves. There is a strong dose of idealism present in this aspect pattern, and as well the danger of seeing
the world as not perfect enough, something to escape, rather than to inhabit. The truth is that the world is what we make
of it, meaning that we need not be discouraged when it does not match our naïve vision, but only when we do not live up to
our own intention to make the best out of any and all circumstances.
Saturn, located in early Sagittarius, is also featured in this month's astrology, being aspected by the mid-April New Moon that began the cycle corresponding to the month's first half. There is a series of oppositions by personal
planets to Saturn at key moments in the lunar cycle: Venus at the recent New Moon, Mercury in close opposition at the timing of the May 3rd Full Moon, and Mars at the May 17th New Moon in late Taurus. Saturn is also sesquiquadrate to Uranus, closest at the beginning of the month, which is also made significant by the antithetical nature of this
pairing. While Uranus pushes the envelope in every way imaginable, going all out for freedom, the limitations and restrictions of
Saturn represent the envelope itself. Because Saturn is so greatly emphasized in the astrology of the current month, we have a very interesting blend of the practical
and the ideal. This is the way of the world as we know it, in that we must live within constriction of its limits while we
reach beyond it for the stars.
Another antidote to the nuts-and-bolts reality represented by Saturn is its astrological counterpart, Jupiter, also strongly aspected this month by the other planets. Now in direct motion, Jupiter gets closer and closer to a perfect inconjunct or 150-degree aspect to Pluto as the month unfolds. And in the Full Moon at nearly the very beginning of the month, the Sun and Moon in opposition also exactly square Jupiter, within minutes of a degree. Jupiter is the wild-eyed optimist and spiritually activated astrological archetype that can be summarized by the keywords
faith, reckless positivity, and love of adventure. With Saturn and Jupiter so activated, we must beware of letting despair get the best of us, inhibiting forward motion, or else spurring
ourselves on too hard, only to run up against the jarring defeat of ambitious agendas crashing upon the limitations of the
physical world. The secret to this month lies in allowing each their due, choosing our balance point somewhere in between.
