You have never been in love and at the same time been centered. Look into your Self. Then the love in you will blossom, you will become vast and wide.

Chicago, US of A. 
Teacher Prolotheos. 
Subject: “Life – A Means to Growth.” 

Received by Valdir Soares. 

Prolotheos: “Life is a gift. Granted that it may well rate as an unsolicited gift, it is nonetheless a precious gift from God. Animal life is totally conditioned by nature, but humans, although they too are animals, are different. Humans can reason about things, and act upon circumstances to become more than just animals. Humans are given the opportunity to manifest great deeds by simply deciding to do the will of God. Accordingly, the value of human life originates in its divine source, God, and also in its nature to serve – a means to growth. 

“Firstly, let us focus on life as a means to exist, as well as means to grow in that existence. Life is a precious and loving gift from God because it offers survival in God’s reality. All that exists came to be through life, even as did those things that have no life of themselves. However, human beings, besides having existence, can certainly experience growth, and bring about achievements. Transcendental growth brings bonafide experiences to one’s existence, as experience determines the endurance of human beings in reality, and the way in which to ensure continuity in God’s reality is by becoming part of His eternal realism. 

“Secondly, think of life as a means to attain personality. It is apparent that without life there is no chance for the emergence or manifestation of personality. Personality is what makes you unique in all God’s universes. Life is everywhere, but there is only one you. Not all that lives has personality, but personality is only bestowed upon life. Therefore, nobody could be a person, or a personal being, without first having life. Life is the basic gift that allows some beings to receive God’s most unique and additional gift of all: Personality. Personality is so unique that it is unchangeable. You are a person, distinct from all others. 

“Thirdly, think of life as a means to service. Three ways in which life can be of service are: Serving yourself, serving your neighbor, and serving God. Service to the self should be obvious; you must care for yourself, so you can serve others and God. The loving service to your neighbor is simultaneously a priority, and ‘an intermediary’, for by serving your neighbor you really do also serve God, who commanded it this way, and whose will should have primacy over all. If life is meant for service, it will also serve you well; otherwise, it would be a waste of time and energy. 

“When you understand life as a means to existence, to acquiring personality and to doing service, life becomes meaningful. It will make you grateful to God who gave you life and personality, and it will become a reason for gratitude by others when you use your gift of life to serve your neighbors. As a result, life brings you satisfaction and happiness. 

“Life is not a goal in itself, as your Master said: ‘For whosoever would save his life selfishly, shall lose it, but whosoever loses his life for my sake and the gospels, shall save it.’ Life is meant to be lived for the purpose of ministry.”

Heavenletter #5052 God Has a Dream for You, September 24, 2014 

God said: 

When you feel unhappy, which you tend to do, look at something that makes you happy. Unhappiness is too often dwelled on. There is no point in keeping yourself locked into less than happiness. It is not at all your duty to stay unhappy as though unhappiness makes you worthy or perhaps a deeper soul. You are not wonderful to be laden with unhappiness and rue. No matter how riddled with unhappiness you may feel, it is unwise to hold onto it. Regardless of how justified you may believe you are to be unhappy, it behooves you to let go of all the symptoms you parade around with.  

Which comes first, unhappiness, or your thoughts of unhappiness? Thoughts precede the recognition of unhappiness. At the same time, it does not matter which comes first. What matters is that you switch gears.

Unhappiness leads you nowhere but to self-commiseration. Feeling sorry for yourself leads you nowhere but to more of your feeling sorry for yourself. This is not a good place to be. Regardless of how well you deem yourself justified, you’ve got to get away from this platform of justification that you may like to stand on. You have to get away from this justification because it takes you nowhere but down a rocky path.

Truly, there is no justification for carrying self-pity around as if it were a virtue when it can only be a roadblock to happiness. Self-pity is a sure way to unhappiness. You tax yourself way too much. Accept that feeling good is far better than feeling bad. Don’t keep registering resentment or recrimination on yourself or anyone. Feeling bereft of happiness is an unsubstantial life process. If you are standing in the way of your happiness, you do indeed need to get out of your way. Why on Earth would you choose to support unhappiness when you could let go of it?

What is it that you have to choose before choosing happiness? I am sure that you know two and two are four, yet reasons for misery add up to misery, not heroism. Do you really want to be downtrodden? Certainly, this is not the vision I hold you in. I have better dreams for you, I have a better dream for you.

My dream is that you be full of grace and glory and that you rise in your own estimation. My vision is that you rise out of the valley of the vainglorious and that you leave vanity and hurt feelings behind.

If you wish to be a collector of anything, collect anything else but hurt and mistreatment in your heart. Nor do I ask you to be noble. Who are you to be noble or unforgiving or bereft of the finer values in life?

I dream of you as a Knower of Reality who travels freely without encumbrance. This is the least I ask of you. I ask you to remove debris from your path. Do you think I have asked you to clutter your life with grievance? I have asked you to hold your head high and your shoulders back. I never asked you to be bent over with round shoulders or walk confusedly.

I tell you outright that you are to hold your head high. You are to let go of smallness in all its forms. Stinginess of love is not the making of you.

I am to be the making of you. I am the God Who Made You. I made you in My image. I am not a God of smallness, nor are you to reflect anything that is not for a grand purpose. Begin now. Get over the past.

Sheldan Nidle - September 23, 2014

5 Imix, 19 Zip, 11 Ik

Dratzo! We come on this day with good news! The various programs to change your life and to reset the world's currencies continue to show progress. We are pleased that the final attempts by the dark cabal have failed. The end of September is to be a time noted for prosperity, freedom and the rise of a successful world peace movement. Many governments on your world are approaching a point where sudden change is inevitable. These changes are being caused by the increasing pressure being put on the dark cabal to concede its defeat and begin to cooperate with our earthly allies. We are watching the result of literally two decades of pressure. The new monetary system is part of a fresh financial system that is dovetailing with the distribution of your world's prosperity funds. Together, these two movements are changing the way your work operates. This series of changes is only the beginning; NESARA in America and a global movement tied to it are to change your reality forever.

The coming changes are part of a process leading inevitably to first contact. The initial part of this is presently underway. The developing prosperity and the increase of freedoms globally are as well to further the conditions leading to formal disclosure. We understand how shocking the announcements are that you hear daily from your leaders. These announcements are to transform the very nature of your governance and to prepare you for the broadcasts that permit us to later talk to you directly. Once we can address you, we intend to cover a broad series of subjects. You have been given only brief information which you first learned in school, and later had this expanded by your book reading and listening to a variety of programs on your television. You need to learn about your true off-world origins and how you came to be a resident of the surface of Gaia. Then, you are ready to meet your Agarthan neighbors and, of course, us.

The landings are to be global in scope. We have been constantly determining and then checking on the condition of our designated landing areas. Whenever there is some unusual degree of change to these sites, we simply select new ones. So far, we have altered only 11% of our preselected sites. Most of these changes are due to expansion in urban areas. New housing or shopping centers seem to spring up at our site locations in highly urbanized areas. Rural areas remain open for decades. Regardless of these discrepancies, our landing craft remain accounted for. We have not been forced to limit the number of scout ships to be used. The order and methods used are now designed for each selected site. In addition, we are ready to teleport our mentors to you. Each mentor is to contact you telepathically before they appear before you. This preliminary conversation is to acquaint you with us and present you with a brief introduction of our various protocols.

The key to your transformation is your budding relationship with your mentor. This relationship is like that of a therapist to a patient. Trust is an important part of this journey. A number of very frank interactions are to happen when you look at your childhood, your Akashic records and your current life contract. A vast number of epigenetic incidents in past and current lives need to be discussed openly and frankly. You need to clear these things to set up your three-day journey in your crystal Light Chamber. We intend you to have had a number of incident-clearing sessions so you can glimpse the extent of what your three-day transformational journey is to cover. There is a vast network of energetic and mind-controlling machines that have filled you with beliefs that need to be cleared from your mental, emotional and physical bodies. The mentor's job is to clear these with your help. As we said, these are preliminary to what you are to encounter in the Crystal Chambers.

Blessings! We are your Ascended Masters! We come with good things to report! Our various associates are continuing to move forward. We are very close to the global reset and the accompanying revaluation of the world's currencies. These events are to be tied in with the rise of a worldwide precious metal standard. The improprieties of the world's major banks, as well as a vast corruption of the world's governments, means that a grand financial revolution is now needed to purge this realm of the dark cabal. This process is ready to yield major arrests and new governance. The coming prosperity and new international banking regulations are to clean up this abhorrent mess and bless this realm with an endless prosperity. Your freedom and sovereignty are to arise from all that is presently happening. We have been blessed by Heaven to finish this sacred task and then welcome those who helped us to succeed!

What is occurring here is a great blessing! We have worked diligently to assure your success. Heaven has smiled on our efforts and permitted us to have the means to overcome the dark and its numerous minions. Every day we pray and spend hours healing this realm. Many of you are frustrated by what has seemingly taken an endless time to get done. Do not lose faith! Miracles are happening! The dark, once seemingly so omnipotent, is now quickly fading. The Light increases in strength each and every day. Be proud of what we have accomplished together. Each of your prayers and meditations has greatly aided this divine cause. Hence, together we have gathered the means to triumph. Remain positive and thoroughly focused on victory! The dark, as noted, is fading. We are on the verge of great things!

We, your Ascended Masters, are wishing you well, and working to finish off this most well-deserved victory. Be proud of what you are accomplishing. You are moving an entire realm to the very edge of its ascension. This is no small task. We all honor you for your achievements. As the coming time approaches, be happy and be most satisfied with what you are accomplishing. We simply ask you to stay focused and to know deep in your heart that you are there. This time of victory is to forever transform this beautiful orb and reunite you with your entire spiritual and galactic family. You are even to reassume your position in this most glorious family. We thank you and graciously bless you. Your grand sacred time has come! The dark has lost and now we can all come together and celebrate this grand victory! Hallelujah!

Today, we rejoice! We have given you another overview of the present circumstances. Be patient. The best is now to come. We leave you this week in joy. Soon, you are to meet your spiritual and galactic families. Be happy and remain focused on the prize! Know, dear Ones, that the countless Supply and never-ending Prosperity of Heaven are indeed Yours! So Be It! Selamat Gajun! Selamat Ja! (Sirian for Be One! and Be in Joy!)

Matthew Ward - September 23, 2014

With loving greetings from all souls at this station, this is Matthew. In addressing readers’ most recent questions, we cite one that is the essence of all: Was Scotland’s rejection of independence a setback for world progress? We don’t see it that way. We see as progress that there was an election, that the citizens of Scotland could, and did, peaceably make their case for sovereignty. Although the outcome disappointed forward-looking Scots, their forceful call for independence made clear to the government of Britain that there must be changes in their relationship not only with the people of Scotland, but also of Wales and Ireland.

For the moment it remains to be seen how quickly the proposed changes will come about and to what extent they will satisfy the citizens of those countries. In the longer term, governmentally-imposed regulations, restrictions, penalties and tax levies will cease everywhere. All of Earth’s peoples will know their divinity in the Oneness of All, their innate knowledge and powers as multidimensional beings, and everyone will respect the sanctity of everything within Creation.

We have been asked time and again why some off-planet sources give a timeframe for the occurrence of one thing or another and we do not. First, we urge you to be very discerning about channeled information, particularly announcements of NESARA or sudden wealth. And be aware that some information that purportedly is channeled actually is written and disseminated by individuals to intentionally misinform, discourage or frighten readers.

Now then, one reason we aren’t comfortable giving a time is the difficulty of putting into your linear construct something that exists in the continuum. We shall come back to that, but first we want to speak about our other reason because it is by far the more important. Your expectation of a specific happening sends forth positive energy that is tied to a certain time; if nothing significant is evident then, the energy turns into disillusionment, discouragement or even anger, and that vibratory downturn further delays the projected happening.

That said, we happily tell you that the decade of delay in your society’s advancement will end in your year 2017, a most propitious timeframe indeed with a celestial window similar to the one during the December 2012 solstice that eased Earth into fourth density. Your concept of time actually is energy in motion, and since Earth’s ascension route is into successively higher, or lighter, energy planes, the few interim years will pass with increasing speed. And, ever-heightening vibrations along the way will enable expanding realization of soul-level knowingness and powers of manifestation that you will heartily welcome.

This departure from our usual reluctance to mention a time is only in small part because the planetary alignment in 2017 is a given. Much more so, beloved family, it’s because your optimism and enthusiasm about Earth’s future will counterbalance the negativity of mainstream media’s reports on the Ebola epidemic, Ukraine, Afghanistan, Iraq’s tenuous new government, the long-running Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and especially at this time, efforts to halt the advancement of ISIS forces in Syria.

We aren’t underestimating the seriousness of those situations by saying that the repetitious films and reports with dire-sounding outlook are evoking the fear and pessimism that keep the populace constrained in third-density mentality. For instance, the projected three-year or longer effort to eliminate ISIS—it needn’t take that long!—and an Ebola epidemic that is out of control—it isn’t!

Despite media’s loss of credibility to some degree, the vast majority of Earth’s peoples believe “expert” assessments because they don’t know what you do. They don’t know that the circumstances they worry about would run their courses much more rapidly if positive energy streamers were propelling them. They don’t know that today’s mayhem is offering many millions the opportunity to complete third density karma, attain balance and evolve. They don’t know that they chose to be on Earth so they can participate in everything that is transpiring or that the outcome will be Earth’s Golden Age in full flourish.

We aren’t suggesting that you attempt to change anyone’s mindset—the pace of growing in conscious and spiritual awareness is every soul’s God-given right. It is that the light in your positive thoughts and feelings radiates out into the world and hastens the ending of all fighting, hardships and suffering. Light—love!—is the key to peace, health and prosperity.

A reader who interpreted “reference library” in a previous message to be our knowing “everything there is to know” asked why we attributed to colleagues in Nirvana what we stated about the Malaysian aircraft that was shot down in Ukraine. We did so because they were the source—and our knowledge base grows continuously. Some information comes from individuals in Nirvana who monitor happenings on Earth and some from highly-evolved souls in other spirit worlds, God, members of advanced civilizations, universal councils and master teachers.

We also derive information by observing Earth’s energy field of potential, which reflects the collective consciousness of all her residents—people, animals, plants and the Devic kingdom—and we report the field’s most significant activity at the time of our messages. But because every resident’s thoughts, feelings and actions affect the ebb and flow of energy, a situation may change considerably before our subsequent message.

Energy streamers influencing a situation may have strengthened and turned a possible outcome into a probable outcome. A situation that was developing into a probability may have reverted to a possibility because its streamers weakened. A surge of energy may have entered an area where movement had been barely perceptible. The intensifying momentum behind what had appeared to be a highly likely outcome may have fizzled completely because a strong burst of energy sideswiped it. Absolute certainties—predestined outcomes—are extremely rare, and Earth’s ascension out of third density and continuing to her destination in fifth is among the very few exceptions to energy’s vagaries.

At the moment the energy field is rife with activity. New energy streamers are emerging, some are changing directions, some are gaining momentum, some are dwindling to mere wisps; and all of the continuous movement is maneuvered by your collective thoughts, feelings and free will choices. This is why, even though the ultimate outcome of everything underway is known in the continuum because it is predestined, it isn’t possible to pinpoint in linear time exactly when a specific happening will manifest.

Occasionally a person’s passing touches the heart of the world, and so it is with Robin Williams. Our colleagues in Nirvana told us that a throng of thousands gathered to greet this soul who had given pleasure to so many during his Earth lifetime, and we hasten to assure readers who wrote that they prayed he wouldn’t be “penalized” for ending his life—he will not be.

Let us speak first about entry into Nirvana. The soul is liberated from the etheric body and the psyche, which arrive in the same condition as when the person left physical lifetime. Robin’s psyche was beset with such pervasive, painful depression that eventually it took control; he thought that only by ending his life could he escape the intolerable agony. His traumatized psyche needed to be healed, and this came with customized care and constant attention in one of Nirvana’s specialty areas that can be likened to your hospitals’ ICUs.

Our colleagues report that Robin’s psychic healing was swift due to cellular patterning of lifetimes in advanced civilizations, he had completed all major contract provisions and depression was not a contract choice, he is in the company of friends and family from his immediate past and previous lives, and he is joyously experiencing other wondrous aspects of life in Earth’s spirit world. We add our own knowledge, that lighted beings throughout the universe honor this highly evolved soul who had chosen to be generous in spirit, energy and resources and by far exceeded even that extraordinarily grand measure.

As for suicide’s pertinence to all souls, I asked my mother to give you the information I gave her many years ago. [The following is the “Suicide” chapter in Matthew, Tell Me about Heaven.]

Matthew, are people who die by suicide treated differently from the others?

Yes and no. They are given the same personal, loving reception as all other arrivals, and every effort is extended to assist in their healing and adjustment just as it is with all other traumatized souls who need customized treatment. However, they enter at a special treatment station because their traumas need a unique kind of maximum care.

I know you have heard that people who take their own lives face a punishing form of spirit life, but instinctively you doubt this is so. You are right, it is not so. It isn't fair or reasonable to lump all suicides into one category with one exacting judgment for all to face up to.

In some cases the cause of suicide is severe body chemistry imbalance that impairs sound decision-making. In other cases, what you call insanity leads to suicide. Some people act out of extreme depression, perhaps due to loss of someone they considered vital to their lives, and depression takes over their rational thinking. Some take their lives on foolish dares, not believing the risk would result in death. Others act in despair of the moment rather than give the spirit time to be strengthened. Some end their lives to end intractable pain. None of those is more reason for harsh judgment than death attributed to heart failure or a broken neck.

Some people in relatively sounder condition consciously decide to end their lives. For some, this is in total capitulation to a series of adverse events, sometimes to provide for their families in the only way they feel is left to them, insurance money. Other people conclude that they cannot deal with situations they find too difficult or unsavory—perhaps their marital infidelity or financial or political corruption has been discovered, or they have been discredited by their peers. These calculated cases also are very sad because those people really don't wish to leave the whole of their Earth life, only those aspects they see as so overwhelming that in their opinion, death is the only remedy.

Whatever their reason, people who commit suicide review their Akashic records with the same self-assessment and next lifetime planning process as any other soul. It is true that they incur an accumulated lesson by having to repeat all the lessons they chose but didn't complete, but there is no punishment or heavy karma levied due to self-inflicted death. Intent, or motive, is the basis for all determinations of self-judgment, and those people need not judge themselves any more severely than any others in this realm.

Thank you, Mother. Now then, readers in Europe have written concerns about the Muslim population in a number of their cities. Dear ones, they are not there to cause you unrest! They have responded to soul-level guidance to become acquainted with new geographic areas, cultures and philosophies; and because adjusting to dramatic newness isn’t an overnight feat, their clinging to what is familiar—their kinsmen, attire and religious traditions—is natural. They aren’t the only ones choosing to migrate, but they may be the most obvious. And, just as in any population, some individuals behave badly, and long-time residents in the area may mistakenly ascribe that behavior to all persons in the new population.

To readers who are endowing all Muslims with the same radical religious views as ISIS, or ISIL, we say: Please don’t! Some of you cited passages in the Quran that permit, even advocate killing your enemies. The Bible has a plethora of that same kind of material, and both books dreadfully distort the faiths’ original tenets.

For instance, the biblical reference to “born into sin”—not to mention the claim that Jesus died to save sinners!—is a grievous departure from ancient records of Jesus’ teachings. He taught that “sin” is but an error in judgment, and the only error is interfering with the growth of the soul, one’s own or another’s.

The ingredient of every soul is the pure love energy essence of Creator and this is the makeup of all newborns. When individuals are indoctrinated from infancy onward in hatred, vengeance and killing in the name of a religion, they are drawn to groups like ISIS. Thus, even though that militant force may think it is acting upon religious principles, it is not. It is acting out the result of minds inculcated with the right and responsibility to brutally defend and promulgate their beliefs, however in error those are.

It was much the same with Christianity. Consider the Inquisition, the Crusades, the persecution of indigenous peoples in Latin America by the Catholic conquistadores. Later, in the land that became the United States, Christians annihilated bison herds to deprive the native population of their source of sustenance and they reduced that population by massacres and disease.

Beloved family, all of your religions that began in the purity of spiritual truths departed from their beginnings to some extent, and the greatest deviations are in Islam and Christianity. Most karmic lessons incurred by generation after generation after generation stemmed from what was done in the name of religion, the most divisive, destructive aspect of life on Earth.

The process of world transformation and spiritual renewal is bringing to an end what long ages ago the darkness imposed upon hearts and minds: Fear or scorn whatever is different—destroy what you fear, disrespect and discriminate against differences you deem inferior. To insure that this would take firm hold within humankind, the darkness implanted the idea of labels to denote differences. Thus society came to regard—and often judge—individuals in accordance with their religious, national, cultural, ethnic, political, governmental, ideological, racial, professional, traditional, financial or social status.

We call you lightworkers—is that not also a label that designates a difference from those who are not? It is, but never is the intention separateness from other souls, much less elevation above any. Lightworker is knowing who you are—an inseparable part of God and all other souls—and what you are doing—sending forth the light that is freeing Earth’s peoples from those divisive constraints so that everyone can live together peacefully, respectfully, cooperatively and harmoniously. All souls on the planet will be living within the light, wherein labels have no place.

With unconditional love, we are at your side all along your ascension pathway.

Sivananda Daily Reading


25 September

Posted: 24 Sep 2014 02:13 AM PDT

SIT IN SILENCE 
I am neither male nor female; 
I am neither dvaita (dualism) nor advaita (non-­dualism); 
I am neither saguna (with qualities) nor nirguna (without qualities); 
I am neither seer nor hearer; 
I am neither body nor mind; 
I am neither far nor near; 
I am neither black nor red; 
I am neither thin nor stout; 
I live neither by food nor by air; 
I neither move nor stop; 
I shall neither go to hell nor to heaven; 
I neither laugh nor weep; 
I work and yet I do not work; 
I hear without ears and see without eyes; 
I smell without nose and taste without tongue; 
Few understand Me. 
He who understands Me, sits in silence. 
Sivananda says: "Mysterious is that silence. 
Drown yourself in that silence 
And be happy."

COME OUT OF YOUR MEDITATION
O Fool! What are you doing in the room? 
Why have you shut the doors? 
Are you meditating or building sand castles? 
Are you planning or sleeping? 
What do you see with closed eyes? 
Darkness? Or some white spots? 
Is this your vision of God? 
Do not waste this precious human life. 
See God everywhere ­ in the sun 
In the trees, the child, the cow, 
In the breeze, in the old man, 
In the running brooks, in the landscapes. 
He is not within your trikuti (eyebrow centre) alone. 
Can you meditate for twenty-four hours? 
Do not become tamasic or lazy. 
Do not mistake tamas (inertia) for satva (divinity). 
Enough, enough of your meditation. 
Thy cells are charged with heavy tamas. 
Come out and serve God in all forms. 
Here is a dynamic path of cosmic vision. 
So says Sivananda.
