Death of Revelation











































































































When you see the Divine in yourself, you will see the Divine in everyone.

Teacher: Jonathan, Unknown, Elyon

T/R: Mark Rogers, Cathy Morris


Jonathan: [Mark] Hello to all my friends, I would honor your request and join you in this gathering of light. Truly it is a gathering of light beings and you are all shining so brightly today, generating your own light from within. It is not just about directing the light from on high, it is also about what can be generated from within, spontaneous generation of light. You are all little incubators of light of your own which you may use to donate to the cause, the cause of your choosing. 

I have enjoyed this mornings discussion about various aids to the process of achieving more spiritual latitude and it is true, there are many who have come up with many methods and techniques that all may seem to tickle you or entice you because they are all strumming a certain string that is involved in the entire instrument, they touch on an aspect of the greater instrument and so it is that they feel as though they vibrate in harmony with the universe because they are a part of the whole, an aspect of the entirety and they can be found in tones and they can be found in words, they can be found in sincere demonstrations of faith throughout. They are what, those who have come before you have discovered, touches on an aspect in the great harmony that is the whole.

And so it is always intriguing and fun to go out and see what your brothers and sisters have discovered, what works for them, what tweaks their fancy, what peaks their interest when they have been searching for spiritual aspects and components and see if you can as well, identify or relate to what others have sensed about these different tools, these different avenues of approach that you discover for if there is some validity in all these methods and all these approaches, they have been discovered by those before you and you may resonate with any individual aspect as you may so choose.

But likewise, one should never dismiss the magnitude of importance that an approach or a method or an avenue may bring to another because all these different avenues of approach are various fragments of the whole that may be grasped by any individual. Therefore should one grow to appreciate the distinctions and the differences that come before you as you make your way through these many many opportunities.

I sincerely appreciate always your thinking of me. Know please that I think of you as well. I consider you my closest associates and I appreciate your extension of such love in my direction. I honor the platform here today and would now withdraw to allow the presence of others. It is indeed my greatest pleasure to be here with you. Thank you all. 

Unknown: [Cathy] [I have a contribution in the form of an unknown Chinese symbol.] I am returning to add a thought to your discussion. In my meditations at your mortal level, I found the energy created is a tool to be manipulated and expanded for healing and spiritual expansion. I was a solitary mortal for much of my experience. The ability to focus on energy and the component of light is a skill that is capable of refinement and enrichment. The action of intention is an ability to increase the intensity and [amount of light] that you are capable of allowing in and focusing out of your being. You are the tool that is to be developed and used with light. 

Elyon: [Mark] Good morning friends, I come to visit once again to who I consider some very old friends, I am Elyon and my heart is warmed by such a gathering, true comrades who have been in pursuit of spirit for some time. I know this as I was there from the beginning. It was my distinct privilege and pleasure to work with this group in its very beginning stages, to open so many doors and to go down so many paths and to go up so many peaks together. Truly we will all remember this relationship as being so influential and informative for all of us. It is the unique gift one gets when they invest themselves in relationship. 

I must say that my heart is indeed warmed to witness the extension of your faith you provide to allow for your continued relationship with Jonathan. It is a supreme demonstration of faith and one that is looked upon with some awe as are many demonstrations offered by mortals of the realm. It is most impressive when it is most sincere and heartfelt and that is what we witness in a case such as this. I call you all to witness the rewards for such an offering of faith are immense, that you are all able to count in your lives the significance and magnitude that you have received as a result of your venturing out in spirit.

And so, the universe awaits your requests, awaits your desires to be made known so that it can move to facilitate and focus to generate that which you would direct. It is an honor and a privilege to be still a part of such a group who are still in such sincere pursuit of higher truths that it simply cannot be denied them. That is what happens when you bring the deepest of your faith to the table. It simply can't be denied of you, your heart's desire to know and learn and be, rather all manner of assistance may be channeled and funneled in your direction and you may choose to focus and utilize this energy as you so desire.

It is with great respect that I honor the occasion of a meeting such as this. It is my pleasure to bring my energy signature in once again and rub spiritual elbows with you. And now, I would allow this space to be used for others but I leave my love and a print of my affection for you all. I am deeply fond of this group. Thank you for that relationship, I bid you all farewell.

Subject: “Finding Motivation in Contribution.”
Received by George Barnard.

Bzutu: “It is only right that I should indicate to you that if you were prepared to document every instance of our communications you would already have at hand most of the information you now seek. Nevertheless my dear friend, we shall now proceed and officially record what it means to find motivation in one's contribution. Once more we have a complaint from a parent – a reader of the Urantia Papers – who complains about the destiny of her mentally and physically disadvantaged child.
“It happens so very often that parents of a disadvantaged relative bemoan the fact that this person will miss out on a Paradise ‘oriented’ journey, to find themselves at a super-universe, or even a local universe destiny. Such is not a punishment, but merely an indication that not one of us is the same as another. Here I remind you of your own comments of long ago that you could have been more successful had you been born in Midwayer. I guess there could be amongst my kin some who would prefer to be a Melchizedek.
“From a human viewpoint this is understandable. Here on this planet it is most important to be ‘someone’. In the Celestial Realm it is ever so much more important to achieve. The Celestial mindset is totally oriented toward doing the Will of the Father in whatever capacity one finds oneself. Those who fuse with a fragment of the Eternal Son can achieve the absolute pinnacle of satisfaction in their careers commensurate with those who are Father fused. Likewise is this the case with those who are Spirit fused.
“Rich earthly experiences on this planet are absolutely essential to those who are meant to be Father fused. The inability to acquire such rich experiences does not mean that the local universe or a super-universe destination is in any way less acceptable, enjoyable, or profitable to the non-Father fused individual. The idea that some in the family will move on to Paradise, whilst others are left behind is once again typical of mere human thought, whilst in reality all of those you will daily meet are your siblings.
“To this I wish to add two additional important things for your consideration. Firstly it is very important for your specialists in human genetics to find answers to the creation of more healthy and genetically more stable offspring amongst all races. Secondly I want you to consider that a great number of individuals who do in fact have the option of being Father fused do not measure up for this fusion event because of the kind of life they lead on this earth. Truly there are many of high and low standing that do not so graduate.
“Father fusion is a gift that is freely given to all on this earth, yet it needs to be earned as well. The promise of Paradise is there for the overwhelming majority, unlike on some planets where the routine is Son fusion. In the end analysis your greatest reward and happiness in all of the universes is the gift you return to the Giver of all life by your motivation to contribute in myriad ways. Think of this short life on evolutionary planets as being the do-or-die test for your further travels on all of the Father’s created mansion worlds and beyond.

Fear is Causing Lack and Greed
Posted: 17 Oct 2013 01:02 PM PDT
Man was created to inhabit this planet in peace. There was no struggle and no strife in the beginning. All were created equal and no human was more important than another no matter their duty or calling. All were created equal in the eyes of God. All needs were provided effortlessly with no one lacking for anything.
All is not what it seems today. Many are lacking although there is enough to go around. Greed has become abundant. Greed was not relevant as all were equally abundant lacking for nothing.
The state of affairs at this time are so out of balance today due to the abundance of greed and lack due to fear. The focus on fear has caused these imbalances to exist and expand.
When humanity returns to love, there is no lack and, therefore, no need for greed.

Illawarra District, Australia, September 30, 2013.
Samuel of Panoptia.
Subject: “The ‘Dearth’ of Revelation.”
Received by George Barnard.
Samuel: “The very first thing that I wish to remind you of is that you are an evolutionary being in that as a general universal rule you are not entitled to revelationary material. As a product of evolution you are meant to grow into knowledge and wisdom by personal effort. So it is for the individual, for the family, for a nation, and in fact for an entire planet. Long ago it was determined that force-feeding information to those that are not yet ready can be counter productive.
“Still, as with almost anything, there can be exceptions. Should it be considered to be important for a certain individual to be apprised of some fact or other, the Thought Adjuster of this individual may well allow for certain revelationary information to be revealed.
“An exception may apply where a deep thinking individual has drawn a provisional conclusion, and in such a case confirmation may perhaps be allowed to be given. At times, for reasons of safety, or needed progress, certain revelations may be authorized.
“In any and all these circumstances it is in some way up to the Father – of course meaning the Thought Adjuster – to sign off on what is to be revealed. The real strength of an evolutionary ‘upbringing’ lies in the fact that you have free will. From moment to moment it is you who determines the path you will take – positive or negative, slothful or caring, cautious or careless. Yet despite the fact that the time-space worlds are run like clockwork, there’s human fickleness.
Adjustment is the catchword in the management of time-space procedures. Frequently the flow of events is tweaked to account for unexpected happenings, mostly due to your (human) ‘mercurial minds and fancy footwork’. Rarely do these events require some small matter of urgently relayed revelation, but it does happen. There may eventuate a need to know, a need to be forewarned, or a situation where personal revelation is fully deserved, perhaps critical.
“These are the primary reasons for revelation to be shared out when needed. However, apart from you loving your God, and equally loving your fellow man, there is a third requirement on planets where a visible spiritual hierarchy is lacking. That requirement is blind Faith. Blind faith is that precious ability on Urantia – the utter trust in God that all is well – which allows your citizens-pilgrims to attain great heights in the attainment of most responsible positions.
“What would happen to faith if revelation were to be supplied on demand? Consider. The suggestion that we keep you dumb by short-changing you on revelation, so as to make us appear smarter, is incorrect as well as mischievous. (Laughter – a short break). Aaron and I leave you our love.”
George: “Thank you both.”

Bring the imposter self to an end.
*
Before the extremely intense desire for Liberation is
awakened, the false self will lead you to a practice
that will support the ego.
*
After the extremely intense desire for Liberation is
awakened, you will be able to see how the ego has
contaminated all of the spiritual and religious
teachings of the past, including both esoteric and
exoteric teachings.
*
Watch the ego when it tries to lead you away from
spiritual practice into distractions, detours, diversions,
delays, unnecessary activities and entertainment.
Do not let the ego win that battle.
*
Time is precious. A human lifespan is very short. You
have been shown the most direct and rapid means to
eternal bliss in this lifetime.
*
Making a simple spiritual teaching into something
complicated is a trick generated by the ego.
*
Those who are spiritually immature or who lack
intelligence, discernment, sincerity, discrimination or
the ability to perceive subtle differences, will not see
the unique and tremendous value of these teachings.
*
The ego will prevent those who are spiritually immature
from seeing what is revealed in these teachings. The ego
will block from their view most of what is written here.
They will then find some other excuse for why they do not
see the unique value of what is here.
*
At the beginning, only a small number will see this.
In the years ahead, many will see this.
*
If, even after reading these teachings many times, the ego
did not allow you to see the value of what is here, try
reading these teachings again a few months or a year from
now or when your openness or desire for Freedom has
increased.
*
For thousands of years humans have passed a nightmare
world full of suffering, lies, deceit, fear, anger, and violence
unto their children. To stop this cycle: challenge the
assumptions, ideas, beliefs and concepts that were taught
to you at a young age and now form the basis for your
perceptions.
*
Doubt is a very valuable tool in the process of awakening.
*
You could begin by doubting all of the religious and spiritual
teachings of the past.
*
Then doubt every human belief in all fields including science
and philosophy.
*
Then doubt the validity, sincerity and existence of the doubter.
Find out: who or what is the doubter?
*
Then, eventually, sooner or later, experience the absolute
perfection of Infinite-Eternal-Awareness-Love-Bliss.
Then continue to practice.
*
For this to happen you have to begin to care.
*
Care about Truth enough to see that the human past has
been a falsehood.
*
Either you are dreaming or you are not dreaming. Either you
are sleeping or you are awake.
*
A turbulent state can be a sign of progress if you are in the
stage of doing battle with the ego.
*
A peaceful state can be a sign of progress.
*
The most helpful view for the aspirant is to not be concerned
with signs of progress.
*
At some point the ego tries to stop the practice or progress of
most people. The ego can do this at almost any time, even after
someone has been practicing for years. That is one reason why
half of these teachings has been devoted to exposing the ego,
the ego's tricks, and how to reduce and finally end those tricks.
*
Care about Truth enough to drop the past ideas, beliefs,
concepts and opinions. Then begin a new life ...

More to come on these teachings, please check back.

Beloved Friends,
as Gaia's Light processes continues to accelerate, so do the process in our body - for our bodies are a mirror of the light process of Gaia’s Body. What She does - our bodies do – when we allow it!
Therefore it is important to commune with Nature. At least by projecting ourselves into a place where we remember our deep connection with Her and where we remember our Oneness with Her.
Indeed, while the light of our energy begins to radiate from inside out we recognize our True Being. It is a gentle opening of the body or the cells of the body. Our body becomes softer. Wellbeing unfolds. Pains disappear. Everything relaxes on an essential level. Simply by re-connecting with the conscious light that surrounds us.
And so our whole body becomes an antenna to the Universe. The hard shell of self-contraction onto ‘ourselves’ which I call the ego, is melting and there is a soft flow that allows communion with the Divine.
There is a loving surrender to the Light, that surrounds us, a melting with It – physically!
Where does the vibration of the body end and where does the mass of the Light begin That surrounds us? The transition is soft.
I remember December 21 in 2012, when Gaia’s horizon melted with the skies. Are our bodies not One with Gaia’s body? Are our processes not Hers?
By the Forces of Light Who surround our planet and Who are working through and with us, to help to fulfill our Divine Destiny and that of the Universe, we are supported to Become Our Selves, to incarnate fully. To be in the flow and to end separation. The separation of the body, of our very body-cells from the fluid of the Energy and Light, in Which our body exists.
Letting go of everything. Releasing everything which detains and hinders this process.
Recognition of the body: not something rigid and finite, but part of the Whole, part of the energetic field of Love in which it exists.
To recognize all pains that emerge, all indispositions, as a strategy of holding on. And then release. These contractions, the holding on, are re-actions to life. We don’t need them any longer. Release them! Let them flow away, let them dissolve into the Love-Light that surrounds us.
The Presence of the “family” is important. Be it the family of Light or our soul family. In this womb we can let ourselves go and become One.
While our body-mind is received in their womb it can return to its original Blueprint.
We must stop to retreat to “inside” of the body, and we must allow to flow from inside out, thus opening all doors to unite with the Light in Which we are arising.
It is now time that we, humanity, leave our childhood behind and become citizens of the universe.
With Love and Blessings,
Ute

You will know the extremely intense desire for Liberation
has awakened when you have dropped all unnecessary
activities to create the maximum amount of time for
spiritual practice.
+
If you do not do your spiritual practice every day,
eventually your life will become full of suffering.
+
If you do not do your spiritual practice every day,
eventually, sooner or later, you will experience one or
more of the thousands of different types of suffering.
+
If you do not do your spiritual practice every day, you will
continue to be caught in the cycle of birth and death again
and again, you will experience diseases, violence and
thousands of types of suffering, lifetime after lifetime.
+
All delays are tricks of the ego, {imposter self}.
+
Every thought that leads you away from spiritual practice
is a trick created by the imposter self.
+
Look at your daily activities and drop all those activities that
are not necessary, to create as much time as possible for
spiritual practice everyday.
+
Bathing and eating food everyday are necessary.
+
For most people working to earn a living everyday is necessary.
+
Choose to be what you really are {your true nature} at your core,
Infinite-Eternal-Awareness-Love-Bliss i.e., Your Divine Self, 
or, you will be living from a parasite pretending to be your self,
the fearful selfish self-centered suffering sleeping egotist ...

Michigan, US of A, September 29, 2013.
Teacher Ophelius.
Subject: “How Will You Answer When the Master Calls?”
Received by Chris.
Teacher Ophelius: “Today dear one, we would like to speak to all the students on the path. When I say ‘on the path’ I mean those of you who have accepted the One Truth, who recognize God the Father as the Creator of all, and have become aware of His presence in your life. I’m speaking to those of you who have consecrated your will to do the Father’s Will in this world and be His eyes, ears, mouth, hands, and feet – His experiential partners and co-creators – those who Christ identified as ‘the salt of the earth.’ If you identify yourself as one of His, then open your ears and listen to what the Spirit says.
“Those that have shall be given more; those that have not, that which they have shall be taken away. From those who have been given much, more is expected. You are to be the ambassadors of light in this darkened world and you are under scrutiny by those who are searching for this light. Therefore you have the responsibility to represent Christ Michael, the Creator Son, as you speak and act on His behalf. It is His desire that you all share a spirit of unity, while expressing your unique ideas and abilities, and become an example to the world of a people who speak and act dignified, who have overcome the pettiness of vain glory and who exhibit the fruits of the Spirit in their daily lives.
“This is a time of self-examination – to look at the state of the soul; to take inventory of the blessings you have been given and to hold that gift of Truth, Beauty, and Goodness you have been afforded up against the contrast of the world and acknowledge the fortunate spiritual position you hold in this place and time on Urantia. The world is watching you like they are watching a politician—waiting for you to fall. They hold your feet to the fire and use your own words against you. Be therefore mindful of your sharp tongues and speak to each other with the same respect and kindness you would have them do unto you. In the admonition of Christ, you are to love your fellows not just with a neighborly love, or a brotherly love, but with a Fatherly love. This Fatherly love is a greater love and one that expects more from those who have been ‘given more.’
“There are two paths and One Plan. The One Plan is the divine blueprint for your life – the plan the Indwelling Spirit is guiding you by. The two paths are: one that follows this divine blueprint, the other is the actual life you live. As you examine the self, take stock of these two paths and see how close or how far you are from walking the divine path. You may ask, ‘But how do I know the divine plan for my life, Teacher?’ You do know it when you stop and live in the moment – it is that inner voice that points to the way of love. It is there and you always know it deep down in the depths of the soul. You only ignore it when the selfish child (the ego) comes out and wants its way.
“Those who represent the Christ must choose mastery over the indulgence of the selfish child and be willing to be held to a higher standard. Are you prepared to get up and walk with the Master when he calls you and says, ‘Come follow me?’ How will you answer when the Master calls?
“Peace to You,
“The Circle of Seven.”

Heavenletter #4710 The Longing of God’s Heart, October 17, 2013 

God said: 

You are the longing of My heart, and My longing comes true. You are the manifestation of My love. You are the one I sent, and you are the one who comes to stand before Me and receive My blessings. In so doing, you grace Me with the blessing of you. And now you bless the world.
 
My love, however, does not come in pangs. I know your love is Mine always. I have no concerns about it. I do not conceive of such wonderings as: “Does My beloved child still love Me? Does he think of Me? Am I first with him?” Nor do I think: “What is My beloved thinking of now? Who is My beloved thinking of now?” Nor do I think: “Is My beloved okay?”
 
I do not think of any of these things because I have no need to tell Myself that all is well. I well know that all is well. No frown ever crosses My forehead.
 
I am at peace in the arms of love that reach everywhere.
 
All the beautiful lines of love in all the holy texts are the beat of My heart. Where I am, what I am, and what I say reverberate throughout the Universe. The Word has never ceased to vibrate throughout all Eternity. There is not even an all Eternity, for Eternity is of itself all. It would not be Eternity otherwise. There is no promise needed, no sanction required, no vows necessary.
 
When I have spoken once, the sound of My Words are the sound of My love, and love flows from heart to heart and there is no stopping the flow of My love. I call love Mine. Bear in mind that there is Oneness Alone, and you are My Oneness. All love is yours in the same manner that all love is Mine. You are Mine. I am yours. What more do We (I) want? What more could there be than the Ocean of Love and the propulsion of Love’s waves?
 
Waves are Eternal too. Waves do not stop flowing. Therefore, the world that you live and love in that does not exist continues to exist always in the flame of love itself.
 
Beloveds, any way you slice it, there is no getting away from love. Hide it, freeze it, camouflage it, repress it, stomp on it, and love comes through just the same, and love saves the day. Love is the day. Love love love, for nothing else is. The world is built on love. Your very foundation is love. Love unites, and love frees. Love takes all. Love is All.
 
And you, you My beloveds, even those of you who believe that you are heartless, even though you may have blocked the openness of love in your heart, you are also love, love resisted, yet love nevertheless. Your heart may pump love, and yet you cramp it, yet love is your determination. Love rules despite your make-shift disavowal of it. There is no getting around love, no matter how much you may kid yourself. Don’t tell Me that you never cry. Don’t tell Me that you never long for the love that you have squeezed shut in your heart.
 
Love repressed is still love. Love at a stand-still is still love. And you, despite all your efforts, are love, and love is everlasting. Pause your love all you want, yet love precedes you, and love follows you. And love brings you to Me. Yes, you may have disguised love, closed your eyes to it, but love will out, and your love will spill all over the Universe, and love is served.

Heavenletter #4711 Light of Heart, October 18, 2013 

God said: 

Be light of heart. What else makes sense? Soberness has its merits, yet lightness of heart blesses you. Seriousness does not so much. It would seem that anyone can be serious about all the twists and turns of life, and, yet, how many of My children can go on about their merry way when they have seemingly struck out?
 
Seriousness holds on tight to life. Lightness does not altogether let go of it perhaps, yet lightness says:
 
“I don’t have to take outcomes as a conclusion of me. Even if I did, I know by now that life goes on a continuum. There is no end to my life, so I might as well make merry. There is enough gravity on Earth, and not enough lightness. The first day of school is taken seriously, as if it were momentous. The first day of school is only the first day of school. Pretty much everyone has a first day of school, and the first day of school may well be taken utterly seriously, by parent, teacher, and wobbly-kneed child. Why? What makes a straight face better than a smiling one? Who says somber and serious are the ways to go?
 
“What’s the matter with having light-hearted joy? Light-hearted joy simply means freedom from heaviness. From now on, I will take light-heartedness to heart.
 
“From this day on, my priority is joy. I don’t want more heaviness. I want more joy, and I want to make more joy.
 
“I won’t make light of another’s seriousness, no, simply my own.
 
“Death is an everyday occurrence. Death is no surprise. It is not of itself an alarming thing. I don’t have to be alarmed by it. What do I give up with the death of the body but my body? Death of the body does not separate me from my loved ones, only I do worry about my loved ones, even as I know, I will see this whole separation thing quite differently once I’ve lived through death.
 
“May I let life and death be an experience, every aspect an experience, in sickness and in health, never the Oneness of myself to part.
 
“I can call myself a soldier of fortune, and so I am a trouper, and so I am fortunate. My lot as a human being this time around is fortuitous.
 
“I remind myself that nothing is lost. Even my medals are not lost OR so what if they are! What does shiny metal have to do with me? What does money have to do with me? There is only one thing that has to do with me, and that is love. Love is my sustenance, and love of God is my goal and desire, closeness to God is, Oneness is. Love leads the way. And love itself is light of foot. It cannot be commandeered. It can be invited. It can be welcomed. It can be cherished, yet it holds no prisoners.
 
“From now on, I am free from boundaries, and I free others. I untie all the prisoners in my heart, and I let them go. No longer do I hold anyone in chains, the least of all, myself. I no longer know bounds. I know freedom. No longer do ropes of utter seriousness hold me, nor do I hold onto ropes. I am a free-wheeling Being, and joy is my name, and joy is what I give fluently from my heart. With practice, I become a master of joy, a master of creating joy and lightness of heart for one and all, not the least of which is myself.
 
“From a young age I knew how to create joy. Now I live my life in joy and lightness of heart, for I am made of joy.”

Wherever you are, whomever you are with, no matter what is going on, will you come from a place of peace deep within you? This place exists, beloveds, and it exists within you. Gravitate to this place. It is yours. It belongs to you. I gave it to you. It is yours forevermore.
 
This special place is for you at every moment. It waits for you. It is always here within you. This place doesn’t move. You simply have to settle down to it. You have to claim it. It is like you have an especially reserved seat at a wedding dinner. The seat waits for you. It is absolutely reserved for you and no one else. You have to find it. Once you find it, you sit in it. Open yourself to peace.
 
Here you are settled deep into the peace of God. Whatever noise is going on, whatever disturbance there may be in the world, you are out of reach in your seat of peace. Be here. Be here always where you are Mine and you claim the Peace of God.
 
You can always meet Me here. I am always always always waiting for you to stop in and to stay.
 
What makes you think that you ever have to leave My warmth and succor? You can simply stay. You don’t have to wander in and wander out. Why would you ever choose to be anywhere but with Me? Stay with Me in peace, and peace is yours.
 
You have had enough wildness in life. You have been peremptory. You have had enough of it. You have had enough of shock, upset, awkwardness. Now, have enough of peace, another word for settledness, country roads, peaceful terrain, where you are sitting in green pastures and are out of the fray. Do you really want to be in the fray? Do you really want to be in the middle of rushing and upset?
 
What are you saying when you leave the green pastures of equanimity? What are you trading the peace of My heart for? Do you really want the excitement of wildness over the settledness of being at peace?
 
Peace is enlivening, beloveds. In the midst of peace, you are in the glow of love, and, tell Me, if you please, what serves you better than this? Would you choose excitation over peace? May you would, yet what price excitement? It comes at a price, beloveds. It comes at the price of peace.
 
Well, oh, yes, this isn’t the first time you have chosen glitter for gold. May it be the last!
 
You are not running away when you decide on peace over roughness. You never had to choose war over peace in terms of your life. Do not think you are supposed to fight peace. Do not think this is doing the right thing.
 
You are not brave to rush into the fray. Who needs you to be ready for anything that rushes in to disturb your peace? Decide where your courage lies, beloveds. The world is not to choose your meeting place. You choose the life you desire. This is not a decision to be left up in the air. You do not always have to be game for whatever clouds are on the horizon.
 
Do you really think you serve yourself and others by being in high gear? What gift would you love to give others – franticness or peace, upset or calmness? Beloveds, even in the midst of external war, you can be calm. You can choose the peace that underlies you.
 
Come to stillness. In stillness is the power. From stillness comes success. I intend success to be yours, beloveds. I never wanted anything else for you. I will accompany you to where the green grass grows, and skies are blue, and your heart rests in Me.

"According to Vedanta, there are only two symptoms of enlightenment,
just two indications that a transformation is taking place within you toward a higher consciousness.
"The first symptom is that you stop worrying.
Things don't bother you anymore.
You become light-hearted & full of joy.
"The second symptom is that you encounter more & more meaningful coincidences in your life,
more & more synchronicities.
"And this accelerates to the point where you actually experience the miraculous."
--Deepak Chopra
