Sananda:  How Darkness Inspires Light, and "The Black Hole of Forgiveness," an article by Gabriella and Kathryn


It is I, Sananda, coming to you from the bridge of the New Jerusalem.  I am here with our beloved Ashtar and his crew, planning the next "Invasion of the Angels."  We are so excited about what you are going to experience in the next few weeks, we can hardly "contain" ourselves.  That is a funny idea, isn't it, since we don't have containers for bodies up here, but you get what we mean.  We are laughing and high-fiving and dancing for joy, envisioning the expressions on your faces when you are newly wealthy, in service to others, free from all dark restrictions, and you then look to the skies and see our glorious armada of sparkling, dancing ships, advancing toward you in a beautifully choreographed two-step! 

For us, it is so clear that you have already accomplished what needs to be done to win your freedom that we are planning the celebrations.  We understand that those of you who are watching the TV "news" it seems as if gruesome violence has erupted in every country, every town and every family on the planet, but it is simply not true.  The incidents you are seeing now are the contracts being fulfilled which will cause the entire world to be so sickened by the violence that they will turn away in disgust, never to return to thoughts of conquering, dominating or overpowering anyone, ever.  

We are grateful for those who have taken on the responsibility of playing the role of assassins and mad despots.  They are the ones who will turn the stomachs of the entire population of Planet Earth and thereby turn the tide toward Light.  It has been ever thus, Dearest Ones.  Humankind has needed vivid dramatizations of cruelty in order to wake them up to the revolting travesties all around them, large and small.  

You are now aware that the inhumanities of the Second World War inspired the civil rights movement, the women's movement, the gay rights movement, and the general feeling that all intolerance and inequality must be eradicated, replaced by tolerance and compassion.  It may come as a surprise to you that the perpetrators of the infamous Nazi war crimes, as well as the instigators of various criminal double-dealing behind the scenes were the same ones you now revere as your beloved Ascended Masters and Archangels.

You may be dumbfounded by this idea.  Why would God want his strongest and best Lightworkers to perform such abominable actions?  It is fairly simple, Beloved Humans.  You had all fallen so completely under the spell of the slow descent into evil that you were hypnotized, unable to respond to the day to day cruelties and injustices.  You were given many chances to stop the slide into darkness.  Remember - Hitler was elected in a free and democratic election.  There were many points at which the people could have stopped the atrocities such as the laws which were passed requiring Jews to wear the star of David, and the early and open support of the U.S. Congress and Western bankers who were funding the Nazi war machine. 

I use the example of World War II because you are most familiar with its history.  Are you also familiar with the massacres perpetrated by Pol Pot, Idi Amin, Stalin, Franco, Mussolini, atrocities against Native Americans, and the people of Armenia, Guatemala, Ukraine, Turkey, Nigeria, Croatia, Sudan, and the Rwanda genocides, which were carried out by people with machetes?  All these atrocities and many more could have been stopped if the victims had been supported by their neighboring countries and the full weight of international law had been brought to bear at the beginning of these movements, before the perpetrators had built a tower of might to shield them from expulsion and criminal prosecution.  In each case, the warning signs were obvious, and the world turned a blind eye and went back to sleep, allowing the momentum of rage and vindictiveness to build and spew over the land like a volcanic eruption of poisonous ideas and toxic feelings.

We are now in a place in the history of the world where atrocities like these can be prevented.  It is a simple thing to eliminate when the leaders of all the major countries are willing to create a fully operational civil tribunal, backed by a simple structure of local and international enforcement which requires only that individuals be arrested and brought to justice when they have performed the first evidence of cruel or inhuman behavior.  It need not require tanks, troops and machine guns when the injustices are stopped at their root.  No rogue individual or group can stand up against the group consciousness of a nation or a planet.  

So you see, this is why we have been helping you to see these things clearly, to use your judgment and your intuitive powers to identify unfairness, inequality and abuse at the moment it is introduced to you, not after the divorce, the genocide, or the perversion of justice, when you stand in the ashes of another disaster which could have been prevented.  To take this stand - that you know what you see, and are willing to act on it - is the result of mastery of full consciousness.  

Living in full consciousness does not mean you only see what is pleasant, and call everything by a name that whitewashes the truth.  This is an unfortunate New Age philosophy and belief system which cripples one's intelligence and intuitive powers.  The principles of forgiveness and the exercise of judgment have been twisted and contorted to create a moral straightjacket as restrictive and suffocating as any religious precepts.  

I have asked Gabriella and Kathryn to write a piece to illuminate these serious misunderstandings about what makes a "good" person.  They will include their article at the end of my message and post it on their media outlets to make it available for all Lightworkers.  It will free many from the guilt and self-doubt which has been imposed by the unnatural demands to "forgive everyone" in the face of personal atrocities and the painful aftermath which remains unhealed.

As you have raised your consciousness and begun to feel the growing group consciousness on the planet, you have also opened your minds and hearts to accept more sophisticated and nuanced ways of looking at the world.  It is now time to send old ideas and concepts to the trash heap of discarded irrational ideas, even if those ideas were presented by your favorite Lightworkers last week.  Remember, Dear Ones, no idea is sacred.  No thought is holy.  No teachings are sacrosanct, not even, or especially not mine.  Only your heart knows the truth, and it is time now to bring your heart to the fore and leave behind all old strictures and restraints to your full blossoming as a Master.

I love you eternally, without hesitation or conditions.  I am Sananda, and I approve this message and the one which follows from Gabriella and Kathryn on the subject of The Black Hole of Forgiveness.

The Black Hole of Forgiveness:  The New Age Trap


                by Gabriella Brightlight and Kathryn E. May, PsyD

Let's talk about the black hole of forgiveness.  Many times, people think they are expressing forgiveness when they are really in denial.  A false New Age idea has been promoted that to become a loving spiritual being you need to forgive everyone, even if they mistreated, disrespected and mislead you.  People are so uncomfortable with anger that it has become a religious practice to skip that emotion entirely, and go directly to shutting down to fit in.  This is called "forgiveness."

There is also a similar New Age idea which goes something like this: we cannot use judgment because judgment is condemning others, and to be a spiritual person, you must love everyone.  In fact, scrutinizing, assessing and measuring what is happening is the good use of your intelligence, not an unfriendly act.  The cabal worked hard, for good reason, to train us into believing that using judgment is identical to being judgmental.  It was a deliberate and brilliant teaching to trick humankind into embracing blindness.  If we had truly looked at them with clear judgment, we would have seen through their illusion and they would have been powerless over us.

When you look closely at something, you allow the intuitive red flag response which instantaneously leads you to Truth and away from danger.  But this would mean you have to use judgment. Instead, you are expected to be ignorant of what you feel, in order to make other people feel good, especially the ones who are behaving badly toward you. You are to expected to accept all people just the way they are, even if, here again... they have mistreated you, disrespected you, and mislead you.

The picture we have just described is so circular (forgiveness, denial, forgetfulness, denial, anger, denial, and blindness) it prevents you from ever getting to the point or the truth of what has actually happened.  This attitude puts you forever at risk of repeating the mistakes of the past, when using your judgment and intuition would have allowed you the chance to bring your life to a higher level.  So you are stuck in denial, because presumably, expressing who you are and what you think goes against forgiving others.  This encourages endless tolerance toward people who should not be permitted the rights and privileges of being close to you.  

This brings us to the third lie which leads to the Black Hole:  By telling the truth, you are hurting others and "making waves."  This is not socially acceptable will bring rejection and abandonment (from the very people you should have already left behind).   While keeping this circular emotional prison you can't speak truly or express your feelings honestly.  You are expected to beam love, or you risk being seen as intolerant, selfish and overly sensitive.  

How can you be able to beam love when you have put all the resentment, rage and fear into your stomach, intestines, heart and mind in order to paste a big smile on your face and pretend all is just fine?  This is not love, forgiveness, tolerance or spiritual elevation; it is denial.  All of it is designed to prevent you from being free, and to prevent you from raising your vibration to be the brilliant Lightworker you really are.  You have just signed on to wearing the ball and chain which will prevent you from rising to your own Ascension.

Therefore, denial really means you must put all people, events and personal behaviors that you dislike and that make you feel ashamed, angry, hurt or unworthy into a little box labeled "Things to forget."  This you place in a secret corner of yourself while you give yourself credit for having "worked this out."  By doing this, you adopt the cabal principle:  "It happened so long ago it's no longer true, so don't bring it up."  Understand, that by doing this you cannot manifest your ideal life, because the vision of your ideal life dies with the denial of yourself.

If you are in denial mode, you can't forgive yourself and you can't forgives others.  
How to resolve this paradox?  First we must understand that there are two real forms of forgiveness.

First, there is the truth and reconciliation form of forgiveness, which takes place between two or more people who are present and aware of the interaction.  It requires acknowledgement of responsibility, genuine regret and a heartfelt apology, "I promise I will never do this to you again" and they don't, ever.  Only then is it possible for the injured one to truly forgive and go on in the relationship without compromising their integrity and good judgment.  (Beware the false apology which carries a tone of blame and entitlement - the "I'm sorry you made me do it" manipulation.)  

The following conditions must be present in order to resolve the conflict:
 
The one who has been hurt acknowledges their feelings and offers the other the opportunity to make up for their mistake, it is a gift of trust and good will.

When the person who has hurt another takes responsibility, expresses genuine regret, and asks for forgiveness, it creates an environment in which real closeness and trust can grow.  From this fertile ground, a strong and healthy relationship can develop.

Genuine reconciliation and forgiveness requires openness, transparency, mutual kindness and conscious agreement before moving on.  If you have not accomplished this, and you decide to stay, you are creating a recipe for disaster.  If you haven't seen all of the above elements, you are abandoning your freedom and the opportunity to be authentically yourself.  It is wiser to walk away.  Compromising your integrity in trade for resolution can only recreate the cycle of resentment and pain.

The second form of forgiveness is a solo mastery of feelings, apart from any continuing relationship.  This is not to be confused with the above reconciliation/forgiveness.  In this case, the perpetrator is unrepentant, unwilling to negotiate, or absent.  This form of forgiveness MUST NOT be used as an excuse for playing on the dark side by supporting another's bad behavior, or for congratulating yourself for being above it all.  

We understand that the internal resolution of pain or injury from the past is the path to peace of mind.  In order to accomplish this we must be willing to release all feelings of resentment or victimization, which keep us tied to the perpetrator and the darkness we experienced.  Seeing that our own recovery is more important than revenge allows us to make the choice to release ourselves to love again in spite of past hurt.  

One who has been devastated by traumatic events or a life without love can lose their grip on themselves, on their faith in God and their self-respect.  People who have been victimized can fall into a bottomless pit of self-blame and loathing.   It takes courage, determination and focus to restore your Faith and to believe in yourself.  

This form of forgiveness is fundamentally about your own recovery and the decision to live in the present, in love with yourself.  Embracing the truth of your past rather than trying to deny it makes it possible to restore your sense of self-respect and worthiness.  This is a real achievement.  Learning to love yourself is the true key to forgiveness.  It is the way out of the Dark Hole, and the path to manifesting the ideal life you came here to live.

Heavenletter #5020 The Ascension of Love , August 23, 2014 

God said: 

It is understandable that the concept of opposites in the world has earned a shady reputation. Sides are taken because of opposites. Opposites are conducive to weighing, and weighing is judging. Of course, appraisal is part of life in the world.
 
There is someone everywhere in the world asking: “Is this a good bride for me? Is this bridge safe to go over? Is this paint wet or dry?” Endless are the questions, and uncertainty rides the range.
 
In the world, there is sickness, and there is health. Wealth and poverty. Fat and thin. War and peace. Harmony and strife. Gain and loss. Good guy. Bad guy. Which is which may depend upon which side you are on or who is telling the story or retelling it.  
 
I have said that in everything, there is good. Even in contrast, there is good. There is good in everything.
 
No one I know on Earth has been without heartache. There is a general acceptance of suffering. Everyone knows what suffering is. It needs no explanation. Furthermore, there are ranges of suffering and various shades of light cast upon suffering. There is big, and there is little, and there are moments of suffering obviated. No one I know on Earth is beyond the pale of suffering. No one I know, when it comes to suffering, says: “Huh? What’s that?”
 
Even to the concept of suffering, there is something of value. When you take the tight shoe off, there is a sigh of relief.
 
In the world, there is growth. Every once in a while, you can say to yourself: “I have grown. I have really grown. I’m not the same person I used to be. I see differently. I understand differently.”
 
Through shadow, you see light.
 
The way sunshine bursts through clouds, there comes a time when you burst through this scene of opposites. You are no longer opposed. Life is not so grievous. You no longer make a big to-do of it. It could be said that you see from a greater distance and see better. It could also be said that you have come closer and now see better. In any case, you see with new eyes. Love has taken over. This is a more encompassing love.
 
Something has happened to you. This is called change. This is called growth. Something has changed within you, and you are seeing this growth. You are living it. It’s here.
 
You can not take credit, yet it has come to you, and you are living it.
 
Growth is a natural progression. Life on Earth offers you this natural progression. It is not that an intellectual light bulb goes on. This progression is beyond thought. It is a greater understanding, yet it is beyond understanding and all the senses. It is an affair of the heart, yet it is deeper than what you had thought heart meant. Something greater than all the inconvenience and bumps arises like an angel bursting out of the water and rising straight to Heaven.
 
This is love, and it is this love that levels the playing field. It is love, a new flavor of love, a new height of love, a new closeness of love. Even tears can fall within this rising love, and the love is not drowned by the tears. This could be called the Ascension of Love. Love ascends beyond the reach of perplexity. The whole concept of problem has taken a long walk and is no longer in the mix.
 
Call this state of consciousness what you will. Call it Payday. Call it Peace. Call it Ascension. Call it Enlightenment. Call it Nirvana. Call it Heaven. Call it Beyond Where Thought Can Go. Call it where you have moved to. Call it where you now dwell. Call it an uncompromising love that has changed the world you see and, inevitably, the world itself, and you, and everyone else.

The Healing Power of Dissolving Self Rejection by the Celestial White Beings

Channelled through Natalie Glasson-19th August 2014- www.omna.org

Much of what can be seen upon the Earth within the actions, reactions, perspectives and projections of humanity are a common vibration, feeling and acceptance of rejection. Such energy seems to hold a powerful hold upon humanity integrating into their energies to almost become a natural aspect and expression of their beings. If you were to seek rejection within your reality and the world you may notice that it appears in numerous forms, diversities and manifestations. You may even realise that much of the pain and suffering upon the Earth and between people is caused by some form of rejection. Often a person who has experienced rejection may cause pain and suffering to themselves and others, thus creating the idea, understanding and even evidence of rejection.  Some people may not have experienced rejection themselves but choose to reject others due to fear of the unknown. There are so many different forms and ways humanity can act out rejection upon the Earth, many wars, arguments, disagreements begin with or develop into rejection.

Please take a moment to view certain problematic circumstances in the world to see if you can see the presence or control of rejection. While rejection can take on physical and mental manifestations, between individuals, groups and even countries, the greatest rejections that many are experiencing upon the Earth is the rejection of love. Whether a person is causing harm and pain or experiencing life as a victim they are rejecting love, the love of the Creator, the love that is present within every person, even within the air you inhale and exhale. Love is so present within life and humanity upon the Earth; it is akin to a large neon sign flashing constantly directly before your eyes.

If love is so present upon the Earth, existing within everything and everyone, why is it not experienced so fully by all? This is because many choose the energy of rejection rather than love or denial rather than acceptance and fulfilment. The energy of rejection feeds all negative thoughts and beliefs previously created by yourself, other around you and those who existed before you upon the Earth. Love feeds the soul, it awakens you to new possibilities and opportunities thus expanding your barriers of limitations to explore yourself and the Earth more fully, eternally supported. The energy of rejection allows you to remain within your current environment free from change, thus the unknown doesn't need to be explored and any beliefs of being deserving of pain and suffering can be sustained.

If a small animal, a child or even yourself is abused would you say that a belief of rejection is present within you thus creating this situation or would you belief it was just bad timing? If you or any other person opens themselves up to be abused or experience suffering in any way, within is a desire or belief, whether unconscious or not, of the presence of rejection. In truth is its rejection of love, the love existing within all people and things even the air. Many people have accepted the energy of rejection mostly through an experience where they felt rejected and therefore felt the need to submit others or themselves to the same suffering and pain. Also the energy and vibration of rejection has been gradually synthesised with the consciousness of humanity to act as a controlling device by those who wish to limit the evolution of humanity especially at a spiritual and intuitive level.

Rejection of love is rejection of the Creator, the universe, the divine, your natural ability to manifest your needs and desires and most importantly it is to reject yourself, as you are now and as your supreme divine self who is immensely powerful and wise. Self-rejection is a habit many have adopted upon the Earth, it is akin to an all-encompassing, crippling disease draining all life and hope from your soul. It is now time to dissolve, erase and stop the habit and disease of self-rejection in order to free, permit and allow yourself to experience the abundant love that is present eternally within and around you. Love is the natural habit of humanity this is why humanity seeks to love another. Love calls the soul forth, love heals your body, love dissolves negativity, pain and suffering, love creates all you need and desire. If you currently are not happy in your reality it is most likely you are rejecting an aspect of yourself or denying an aspect of yourself the experience of supreme love. A simple belief that you are unworthy is enough to create experiences where you manifest rejection such problems in your life or experience another rejecting you in some way. Rejection can be hidden in beliefs and perspectives you pronounce as true in your reality. Although rejection feels present upon the Earth it is an illusion which has become a habit.

In truth there is only self-rejection, the rejection of others does exist but it is your own creation, your world is created by everything you experience and create within you, so all experiences of rejection of love are rejection of self. There may be many reasons why you might wish to reject yourself but none of these reasons are good enough or real. It is often said that when aspects of the Creator became soul groups and souls moving away from the main source of the Creator to experience as the Creator, a feeling of separation and rejection was experienced by the soul groups and souls. Could you imagine the Creator could ever reject you or separate from you in anyway? The Creator, the source, the divine whichever label you wish to use would simply embrace you in supreme love, such feelings of rejection and separation when love is present cannot be. Many souls feel rejected by the Creator maybe now or in the past, it is important to know the Creator has never rejected you and never will, it is an impossible. The truth is you as that soul might have begun to reject yourself or maybe as a personality you are projecting your current feelings of rejection onto your soul believing it must feel the same. Self-rejection is required to be dissolved now in your present moment so it may allow for further manifestations and experiences of the Era of Love.

The Era of Love upon the Earth is about experiencing love at a physical level in all areas of your reality, it is also about clearing away perspectives that hinder your self-love as you exist and rejoice in the love already present. This simply means do not lose sight of love while seeking and searching for what is blocking love for you will find yourself becoming attached in rejecting yourself while believing you are seeking love. The Era of Love allows you to experience love, it gives you permission to create from the space of love within your being, thus there will be times you are required to acknowledge that which is blocking your expression of love for yourself and others, this can be achieved from a place of loving forgiveness rather than abusive judgment.

It is our wish that you devote one day to recognising and being aware of any habits of self-rejection you may be energising. Self-rejection could be seen as negative thoughts or comments about yourself, unwillingness to believe you are worthy of something, hiding a part of yourself or life from others, not following the intuition with your being, not wishing to assert your ideas to others and so forth. While your awareness of how you reject yourself is helpful more valuable is to understand where the rejection is flowing from. What energy, patterns or consciousness does it have? The ways in which you reject yourself is simply an outcome or manifestation of an energy which can be labelled rejection, pain, suffering, resentment or space in need of healing within you. Through observation of the manifestations of your self-rejection you allow yourself to move into a space to understand the core of the energy, then you can sense and acknowledge an energy you may have been carrying with you for some time thus are now ready to let go of and heal completely permitting you to experience love of the Creator once more. Allow yourself to observe yourself free from judgment for one day only, by the end of the day you may have a deeper understanding of your self-rejection. Whether or not you have, on the second day we wish for you to affirm an affirmation.

'I erase and dissolve all forms of self-rejection, I love and accept myself.'

Affirm this affirmation all day especially every time you notice yourself experiencing self-rejection. You may even wish to direct the affirmation to the energy of rejection within you explored the day before. Continue affirming this affirmation until you have evidence in your reality that you no longer reject yourself and love yourself, with the habit and belief you are willing to accept the love and support of the Creator.

We share our communication with you with deep love and respect as a tool to assist yourself in creating love and peace upon the Earth and within your reality thus influencing all of humanity through your simple presence and focus.

The greatest tool is ACCEPTANCE with an open and loving heart.

We love you unconditionally and eternally,

Celestial White Beings
