Prometheus’ Treasures - XIV. 
Subject: “Cultivating Wellbeing – Part II – Teaching the Principle of Brotherhood.” 

Received by Renée. 

Teacher Prometheus: “While humans need to be aware of their very basic survival needs, it is of critical importance for them to begin to educate children from a very young age – as soon as the child shows awareness of others, even from the age of eighteen months, and in some cases earlier – to the needs of others. These others include family members, and friends who visit and interact with the family, also including neighbors and professional care-givers. 

“All morality is based on the awareness of the need to respect, uphold and honor the fundamental needs of others, because of the truth of the fact: All are children of the First Source Creator. This means the concept of a Divine Parent is essential for morality, social health, and the progression of both the individual, as well as individual societies, nations and associations. This recognition leads to the full realization of responsibility as a child of our Creator. The embracing of membership in the spiritual Family of God brings an awareness of the need for intelligent, loving cooperation with each other to co-create with the help of real Spiritual forces and personalities – a planetary culture of Light and Life. 

“Wayshower is a word which deserves to be carefully considered, and repeatedly emphasized in a society to underscore and remind all members, no matter their personal stage of personality development, status, or station, that they have a moral priority and obligation to lead by example and demonstration, behavior of Brotherly Love and consideration. This moral obligation applies to parents, siblings, teachers, mentors, friends, neighbors, and service providers, leaders in education, government, business and spiritual communities. 

“The individual members of a society must be taught by example that each person who is given any opportunity to interact in a relationship with a child, is expected to exhibit the most noble bearing of excellence in ethical and moral, spiritually responsible behavior. The highest codes of conduct and loving service values of a sustainable society must be actively practiced by all members. Exceptional care must be taken in teaching each member that they play a role in the raising of viable, healthy fully functional, emotionally balanced and morally capable children. 

“This ideal of behavior may sound challenging to achieve, practically impossible to attain, and daunting to deliver. The importance of investing all the very best behavior of selfless, loving service, respect for equality and responsible conduct to children can not be underestimated. Each person can acknowledge the potential impact and real influence they are endowed with, because of their free-will personality status. They can accept how their personal choices: either honor the Divine Guidance to serve as a loving wayshower, neglect an opportunity to teach a child the Christ-like way, or cause confusion and promote conflict in a child’s mind through examples of selfish, dishonorable, unloving, unjust or morally corrupt behavior. 

“Brotherhood is not only to be seen as a lofty concept based on intellectually-derived ethics, but a living and vital, breathing way of relating to all of one’s fellows. This certainly extends to all other human beings born on neighboring time-space spheres, but also extends to all orders of created and personalizing, perfecting and ministering individualized beings as well as the application of this principal of brotherhood to all evolutionary races, and Spirit-indwelt species. 

“We are Prometheus and Friends.”

Heavenletter #5023 You Are Not Meant to Be a Wallflower, August 26, 2014 

God said: 

Beloveds, I never created you to be a shrinking violet. When you are a shrinking violet, you are being exclusive. There is a certain ego-centeredness in being timid as though you are more modest than almost everyone else in the world, as if timid becomes a benefit of some kind.
 
Come forth from your clam shell. Who are you not to share? Who are you to belong to a higher secret sorority or fraternity that whispers and stays covered? It is unfriendly of you to back away. In one sense, you are saying:
 
“World, it is for you to come to me. You have to go out of your way to come to me. I am a rare treat, and I have to be your discovery. Let’s see if the world can find me as I hide under a mushroom. I am a shrinking violet or a queenly rose. I do not intend to imply that I am too good for ordinary mortals. This is just how I am. Unless you ask me to dance, I will continue being a wallflower.”
 
This is not a banner life, this, to be swathed in exclusivity, beloveds. If you have something to offer the world, give it. Come down from your sequestered aerie and enter the human race. You have all the rights and privileges of all My children. You know about Oneness. You are a Divine Mortal, and so is everyone else. Even if you may be thinking that everyone else is better than you, wiser than you, more beautiful than you, you are doing a disservice to be reticent. Fly under your own colors, beloved.
 
I created you. You may be sure I did not create you to be self-effacing. If you are to represent Me, represent Me. I am not asking you to be a great hand-shaker. I am asking you to be vulnerable. If it is vulnerable to express yourself and be shot down, express yourself. If someone asks you what you think of something, go ahead and say what you think. You are not to choose to be upstaged, dear ones. You are not fighting for attention. You are not taking over. You are letting yourself be seen. As you acquaint the world at large with your presence, you are leading a parade that will come out of all their self-enforced limits. Revealing yourself can be done. There is no virtue in hiding yourself, not from the world, nor from your individual self. When you came to Earth, you did not come with an edict to be reticent, to hold back, to be a shy visitor to Earth.
 
Certainly, there is value in Silence. There is also virtue in speaking up.
 
Perhaps you are protecting yourself. If you do not express yourself, no one can declaim against what you say. When you do not express yourself in the first place, no one can tell you to be quiet. How safe it is to sequester yourself? I suggest you reveal yourself. You can be modest and still shine. No one is asking you to be immodest. Let your picture be taken. Strew yourself across the Universe.
 
I ask you to be My Messenger of Love. Yes, of course, you can send love silently. What would happen if you did more than minimum? What would be wrong with medium or even maximum?
 
I have to ask you what you are waiting for.
 
I have asked you to stay out of the past. I have never asked you to stay out of the present. I never asked you to be a bump on a log. I have never asked you to be retiring.  When have I not asked you to shine My light so that all the world may see?

Sananda: Dreams Really Do Come True

Sananda:

Here we are, once again, on the brink of something Earth-shaking, literally.  Those of you who are waiting impatiently for the revaluation of currencies to take place are envisioning your own versions of the unknown. We cannot predict exactly what the changes will bring, because you all have free will, and will use your blessings as you see fit.  How the cumulative effect of this massive influx of wealth in the hands of Lightworkers will affect the planet as a whole has yet to be seen.

I want to remind you once again that the purpose of this wonderful event is to bring freedom and prosperity to the entire world.  Now, let us examine what we mean by prosperity.  I would like to discriminate between prosperity and luxury.  We hope that the new prosperity will not inspire you to go out and buy luxury products which are the current cause of the poisoning of planet Earth.  We encourage you to look carefully at your intended purchases to decide whether you want to continue the 3D consumer orgy, or whether you would prefer to promote the shift to new attitudes and beliefs through your interim choices.

This of course is what we have counted on Lightworkers to do all along.  Why would you change your ethics and your goals just because you have a new, fat bank account?  Does your current life really require that you purchase a shiny new luxury automobile, or would you rather feed a family of four for 3 years in a poor village, or pay a teacher's salary for a year?  Would you like to establish a scholarship for ten college students to attend a state university, or would you prefer to buy a bigger house?

You, our dear Boots on the Ground, have been feeling the pinch of living without because of your hard work over the past few years.  Many of you have given up profitable jobs to dedicate more time to your healing work, and you have spent many hours every week involving yourselves in supporting and communicating with others to help raise the vibration around you.  I encourage you to remember that this work came from the deepest and truest place in your heart, because this is who you really are.

Do not abandon that vision, even for a moment, when the flood of money comes into your open hands.  Stay the course, Dearest Brothers and Sisters.  The decisions you make now are the ones which will either feed the cabal ideas and programs, or it will wipe out those old shadows forever.   Do not allow yourselves to fall back into the seduction of supporting those corporations and institutions which you have fought against so rigorously in recent months.

You see, this blessing that will be put into your hands very shortly will determine whether the dark programs will be supported or whether they will die a natural death from being ignored and unused.  Will you support factory farms, for instance, by going out to dinner for one last splurge of beef, chicken and imported GMO vegetables, accompanied by potatoes fried in over-processed saturated fat-laden vegetable oil?  Or will you support your local organic farm?

Will you take a vacation at the most luxurious resort where the sewage washes into the sea and the local people are paid $10 a day to cook and clean up after you, while you plan your philanthropic adventures to come, or will you maintain your group consciousness as it applies to the helping staff everywhere you go?  

You may be feeling that this is a distasteful topic for someone like me to be discussing; why should Sananda talk about such trivial and distasteful topics?  Must we discuss how the cow you eat was butchered, or the suffering of the poor workers, when you have waited so long for a lovely vacation, and you deserve to enjoy it?  Ah, but you see, my dear friends, this is the very thinking that allowed the cabal to maintain control over all the important areas of life on Earth.

Here is the crux of it:  Mindfulness, and being of service to others is not deprivation.  It is the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.  It is the nectar of Life.  When you find your purpose - your precious life's work, there is no luxury or pleasure that could overshadow it or diminish it.  There is no indulgence that could improve on the feeling of fulfillment you will achieve by using your blessings to lift others out of want by providing schooling, clean food, fresh water, and the hope that life will never again be a matter of survival.  You will all thrive together.

You have all begged us to intervene, to make life better for your brothers and sisters, to stop wars, and to provide better conditions for others around the world who are suffering.  We have done that.  We have arranged for you to have the funds to do just that.  Together, you can stop war by combining your resources, providing what the combatants truly need - be it an escape from oppression or more tolerable living conditions, or more expansive education, or decent infrastructure improvements to alleviate the urgent, unclean conditions they have lived with so long.

Dignity.  This is what people are rioting about, taking up arms to fight for, and attacking those around them to unleash their resentments about.  Ferguson, Syria, Palestine, Kenya, Ukraine, and so many more places in the world are now either awakening and taking to the streets, or are the targets for mercenary thugs who have been paid by the cabal to stir up trouble.  In either case, there are conditions on the ground worth objecting to.  These are the places where our Lightworkers can make a real difference by bringing Light, Love and desperately needed resources to those in need.

As you move across the planet, beginning with your own families and friends, expanding outward to establish friendships and create networks of caring Lightworkers, you will expand your own thinking, open your hearts even more, and begin a worldwide tsunami of good will and friendship which will begin to heal old wounds and establish new possibilities, the likes of which you can only now vaguely sense.

You, dear friends, have invested in your own freedom, and with it you will find ways to set others free.  Imagine the power of 5 million Lightworkers, suddenly unleashed from the bonds of tedium and enslavement to meaningless work, free to go forth gently, with sensitivity and Love, to build the new and glorious Golden Age we have all envisioned so fervently for so long.  

You see, it is not the money that will set you free; it is the possibility of being free from any constraints of the old dark agendas that will allow you to finally experience the feeling of exploding into your true potential - doing the work for which you were trained, but which had been co-oped by the old system.  You all have marvelous skills, honed in the "salt mines" - the slavery-for-all system you were so accustomed to. Now you will be able to use those skills to shape your own world, in the vision of Paradise you have held secretly in your hearts since you were born.

Every one will be needed; every one will add their precious, unique flavor to the new group consciousness which will be built from your deepest sense of fairness, equality, compassion, forgiveness and Love. No one will be left out or diminished by the New World.  With the rising energies will come a rising sense of hope, peace of mind and dignity.  Everyone needs to feel a sense of belonging, everyone needs to be needed.  The freedom which will come with your Prosperity packages will allow all to contribute, to learn the deepest form of self-respect which comes from being a part of a truly inspired group consciousness.

It is impossible for me to describe to you how deeply fulfilled and delighted I am to look forward down this glorious timeline you have created for yourselves and see the seeds you have planted coming to fruition.  You will at last experience the Peace On Earth you have longed for.  You will see an end to poverty and want.  You will each be a part of the shaping and building of this new era we have envisioned together.

I am filled with love overflowing for each of you, the Brothers and Sisters of Light who have walked with me, shared my hopes and dreams, my pain and yours, my determination and yours.  We have joined together as One to create this incomparable triumph, the beginning of the New Golden Age.  It is truly our birthday, all of us.  Together, we will begin a new life.

I am your Sananda and I am in Love with you and with Life.

Sivananda Daily Reading

The Fruits of Concentration 
Now hear about the fruits that one gains from this practice. Supreme joy is for the yogi whose mind is peaceful, whose passionate nature is calmed, who is sinless and of the nature of the eternal.
When one advances in the practice of concentration, when one takes a real interest in it and when one has realised some benefits, then he cannot leave the practice. Concentration brings supreme joy, spiritual inner strength, unalloyed felicity and infinite, eternal peace. It brings profound knowledge and deep inner sight, intuition and communion with God.
The vital point in concentration is to bring the mind to the same point or object, again and again, by limiting its movements. Limit it to a small circle to begin with - that is the main aim. A time will come when the mind will stick to one point alone. This is the fruit of protracted sadhana (practice). Now your joy will be indescribable.
If you decide to meditate on the form of a chair, bring all thoughts connected with that chair together and dwell on these ideas. Do not allow thoughts of other objects to enter your mind. Thought should flow steadily, like oil flowing steadily from one vessel to another. Gradually reduce the number of ideas related to the object of concentration. When all these ideas die, you get the super-conscious state (samadhi).
When this last idea dies out and when there is not even a single idea, the mind becomes blank or void. There is mental vacuity. This is the stage of thoughtlessness referred to by Patanjali in his Raja Yoga philosophy. You must rise above this blank vritti (thought-form) and identify yourself with the Supreme Purusha or Brahman, the silent witness of the mind who gives power and light to the mind. Then and then alone you will reach the highest goal of life.
- - - - -
Prolonged meditation on the Absolute leads to perfection. One of the greatest needs in spiritual life is meditation. Meditate and listen to the voice of God. This will give you strength and power and peace.
