#4909 How to Hear God for Yourself , May 4, 2014 God said: You
are always close to Me, as close as close can be. Only in the world can it seem to you that We are closer or further apart.
How you feel makes all the difference in the world to your life. Of course, if you feel abandoned, that doesn’t feel
good. It feels much better when you sense Our closeness. Even if you don’t believe in Me, and you doubt Me, don’t
think well of Me, would there not be something for you to gain in coming closer to Me? If We were talking about
chocolate or cherries, wouldn’t you prefer to have chocolates or cherries close by, available to you? Look
at the new equipment that the world has given you so you can talk to those who are on the other corners of the Earth. Think
of all the ways you now have to communicate. Of course, you have to purchase them as tools. With Me, there is no need for
purchase. I am free. You might say that I come with the territory. Born to Earth means We, you and I, are
automatically connected. We don’t need a hook-up. We are already hooked up. Our communing does rely on your ears. You
can imagine putting a little ear phone in your ear or a snazzy big one if you like, or, even, one of those old-fashioned big
horns. Of course, you need nothing, yet, if you want, you can think of receiving My thoughts magnified a thousandfold via
a loudspeaker. What ultimately works is your pressing your heart to Mine. In truth, Our hearts are conjoined. It
is no big deal for you to hear Me. If you can breathe without thought about it, you can hear Me without effort. The only way
you can hear Me directly is without any effort. Nature does not struggle for a branch to bear a leaf, does it not? A
rose bush doesn’t exert itself to bear roses. A toe wiggles without strain. Life is self-propelled. As a child, you
grew an inch without exerting any effort. Think of all the processes that your body takes care of without your putting forth
any effort or thought. You do not grit your teeth in order for your platelets to renew your blood or to have your natural
hair-color to be what it is. And if your hair is to become gray, it does it by itself. There are not just
certain occasions when I speak. Consider My speaking like a hum. I am humming all the time. You can pick up My undifferentiated
hum at a subtle level and grasp it into the differentiated sounds that you know as language. You can pick up a sense
of My love as well. The hum I hum is of love, and you can know My love first-hand. Beloveds, even if you are
an atheist, you recognize the word God, and you have an inkling of a God Presence. You could not renounce God unless you had
something to renounce! In life, you make motions. I am always at your side, and I can be heard. You can hear
Me. No matter who you are and what you consciously may think, pro or con, there is a yearning to hear Me. Hear Me then.
Only you cannot tell Me what to say. Hearing Me isn’t deliberating what I say. Listening is listening. You can at the
very least hear a rumble of what I say. My vibration is love. And you can well vibrate to the twang of My love. You can be
a clear slate who hears an echo of My love even when you don’t catch every word. I am such a familiar hum that you may
overlook Me. You have always been in earshot of Me. |

Subject: Lightline Teleconference 2014-04-10
Teacher: Charles
T/R: Mark Rogers
Prayer: We all have
the thought in our mind and consciousness to come here tonight and we follow that projection out to come here. We bring ourselves
and position ourselves in place for this to happen. We carve out within ourselves a space of acceptance, of openness, of peace
and we at this time would like to invite spirit to come and join us in this space. Thank you Divine Parents for this gift
of grace, this love we feel when we open up ourselves to your divine grace and your peace. Thank you for your emissaries of
light who so tirelessly work on our behalf and are always there for us when we call. So it is we come to you now to call out
in spirit, to reach towards you with that part of us which is spirit and meet you in a place of spirit, even now in this hour,
in this moment. Let it be so, thank you.
Charles: Greetings to you all, it is my pleasure to join you tonight, I am Charles. I join you in this
place that you have constructed, this cathedral of spirit where we both may come and co-mingle in this space. Make no mistake
that this temple that you provide for spirit is of your own construction, that you have by your own efforts created this temple
where we meet even now and where you may host a variety of spiritual associates.
It is said on your world that your body is a temple, and that within the confines of your construct you house elements
of divinity and this is true. In a certain interpretation, your vehicle, your body, then is the temple for your spirit component,
your part of yourself which is divine, your component of self which is eternal. And so it is that your vehicle can be considered
to be the dwelling place where these things come and combine, but I tell you that the real temple that you have begun construction
on in this first life experience is an eternal temple of spirit. It will not be reliant upon your physical vehicle whatsoever
which will pass with time and in space; rather this temple that you work on constructing will be with you throughout eternity.
This will be the sacred place that you offer, the temple in which you provide the sacred space. And so what you begin
here in these mortal times of your experience, you continue on throughout your eternal career, providing more and more space,
more and more of an elaborate area for you to engage in spirit, be spirit, enjoy spirit and exchange in the spirit realm.
So that being the case, it is everlastingly joyous to witness the foundations that you
build at this time in your career when you are so very illiterate of your true standing in your eternal aspects. Still you
work on construction of a place for you to go to meet spirit. Even when it can be said that you are farthest away from it,
still you envision it, still it calls you, it beckons you to put the effort in to build the space, to create the environment.
And all this effort which you begin now, these foundations which are so hand hewn and of your experience, are so foundational
and basic to who you are and these foundations are hewn by virtue of your efforts, your experiences. That's why they are so
honored and treasured a possession for you to build upon. They are the results of your having earned them, having fashioned
each part of your foundation to fit together. Indeed these foundations that you build are sacred throughout all the universe.
They are comprised of your elements of being and are completely unique in all time and space.
Thank you for allowing me to express my sentiments about what it is to observe you in the very act of cementing together
your foundations and building these places where you will entertain your spiritual aspect. I understand that there are questions
on the floor and I will certainly endeavor to shine a little more light, perhaps from another angle of perception. One question
refers to what it is to be mindful or have mindfulness in the process.
To this
I would say that to be mindful as a mortal of the realm is to choose among the myriads of options which you could entertain
with your valuable computer you call your mind. It is up to you, the user, perhaps even the observer, to pick and choose among
the many many options before you, to let play much as the program in the computer may be turned on or off to function. When
it is turned on it will routinely play through its standard process, over and over again faithfully repeating its cycle. Likewise,
your mind has become programmed and there are programs in place within your mind which, if activated, will proceed apace and
will repeat themselves faithfully, over and over again. What has been installed into the computer, now plays back to you.
Being mindful refers to the awareness of this underlying process and the overriding
of any random triggering of programs in favor of selective choosing of patterns you wish to play. Rather than letting your
mind choose where it goes and the direction in which it runs off, the tangent in which it proceeds down, mindfulness refers
to the state of awareness of how the mind functions in this way and the overriding of random signals in favor of a chosen
pattern. Mindfulness is using the computer for an intended purpose, seizing control, becoming the driver, not simply becoming
the observer.
Mindfulness refers to all of these components, taking charge,
controlling the direction of the energy and the flow, inserting into the equation the patterns you wish to play and replay.
Mindfulness is using the mind rather than letting the mind use you. Who is in charge? Is it the thoughts that you think or
are you behind the curtain somewhere in charge of the thoughts that you think? I invite you all to consider that you are not
your mind. Your mind is a circuit established for your benefit. You are attached to the circuit. You have a powerful computer
on board which helps you access the circuit, that is your mind and it craves activity. If you don't give it activity, it will
find its own and run its own programs.
You have been counseled in your
process that stillness is a desirable state of being. This refers to the mindfulness of the activities of the mind and how
to guide it, slow it, pause it or override it. So that said, you are not the mind, you are the observer behind the mind, you
are the ones in charge of the application of mind, the one at the control panel. This is good for you all to consider: The
state of mindfulness and who is in charge, the random thoughts generated and the patterns explored by the mind, or your overall
intention projected onto the mind and in control of the mind. There perhaps are some new dimensions to consider about mindfulness.
I would address another question and that being: What can be done to be prepared for
any upcoming events in time and space? The answer to this one is remarkably simple. The very same thing that you would do
to ready yourselves for spiritual ascension are the very same things needed by all manner of heavenly hosts who may guide
you through certain aspects of your ascension career and of the ascension career of your planet and your world. You see, you
are most valuable when you have worked on yourself and become the best player a team could ever desire. The good players are
the ones who make sure that their part, their piece of the puzzle is ready, that they are as in shape and in tune as they
can be.
You see, this, no one else can do. This only you can offer.
Have you built your temple of spirit with plenty of space to accommodate your spiritual dimension? Have you provided the groundwork
necessary? Built the foundation? Are you working on your own spiritual relationship to the whole? Because this is what is
needed. This is what only you can do. So when you ask, what could be done to facilitate, to help, to be useful in whatever
upcoming process may be before you, I say go work on yourself; make sure you are ready; make sure your piece of the puzzle
is secure, is sound, is whole, is strong. That is what you can do so that when the time is right and the energy is flowing,
you will be strong and able to work it, to be part of it.
This will remain the universally
most significant thing that you as an individual are capable of offering not only to yourself but to the whole. You see, all
of these pieces of the puzzle are necessary, all of the parts of the whole must be brought together and in this process, it
is very helpful if these pieces of the whole are active and engaged and trying to become that part of the whole. So, surprisingly
enough, as you help yourself you help your Divine Parents, you help the overall eternal plan, you help the First Source and
Center. You help the entire project move forward and I know it may not seem that working on your piece may be that significant
at times, after all you are but one and separate in the process, but I tell you it won't be long in your ascension career
before you realize the folly of that idea.
You are anything but alone, you
are anything but fragmented, you are part of the whole. It is only your experience to feel fragmented and separate and this
is by design so that you can feel what it is to be the self, the individual. This is what your Indwelling Spirit prays about
you. This experience of isolation and fragmentation and separation, it is only had through this remote material mortal experience,
otherwise, all of your other spirit incarnations will preclude you from feeling so isolated. But in this one, it is possible
for you to sense a distinction as if you are all alone. So even this is a sacred experience, one for you to have and to hold
and treasure throughout as you realize in each of your future incarnations how much a part of the whole you really are.
I hope this has given you thought for consideration. Overall, I wish you all a sense
of peace, a sense of well being. You are all undergoing these efforts of constructing this place within and that is all that
is significant. You have chosen a direction to grow in spirit and now it is just for your paths to unfold, for your destinies
to be manifested. I join with you all in prayer that these journeys be full and rich and joyous and contain a vast array of
experiences to delight us.
I sense that the dialog has gone on for a while and the transcribing
can loom large. So, I would make a motion to conclude tonights meeting unless there would be any interjection from the other
participants.
Caller: Are feelings ever wrong?
Charles: Thank you for your question. That question is difficult of a short answer. The feelings that an individual
has are indeed valid feelings to that individual. I think what you might be asking is, just because they are valid feelings,
are they true or good or right or wrong? And, that implies an assessment, a judgement, a point of reference, a vantage point
of view and there are no two individuals who can view the same phenomenon from the exact same vantage point. Therefore there
are no absolute ground zero truths about what is right-wrong-good or bad and to what degree.
I will say that one of your greatest mortal gifts are your feelings. They are the reaction of your being manifesting
through your emotional capacities. They are the true indicator of your position and your relationship to the issue under consideration.
I invite you all to consider that when you take into consideration any particular issue, there immediately wells up within
you a feeling. This feeling is your relationship to this issue, your position in relationship to this issue. If it makes you
uncomfortable or feel bad, then I would to the best of my degree, follow these intuitions, these feelings. They are your mortal
and material reflection of your emotional connection to the issue at hand and they are without deliberation. They are instantaneous,
that's how you know that they come directly from your innermost being, your feeling towards things are immediately portrayed
by your emotional context. This then translates to your physical state, the pit in your stomach, the tension that you may
feel grip you, the sense of peace which may overcome you, the sense of joy and love when in consideration of a loved one.
These senses are instantaneous and undeniable. They are your barometer of whether something
is good for you or perhaps not so much. Does this make them right or wrong? They are as signposts, indicators, turn signals
which may pop on for you without your consideration, they just arrive. This lets you know that are straight from the heart,
that they are not filtered by components of the mind but rather emanate from your inner being and trigger a response, a literal
physical response, a sensation which washes over you. This is a gift of mortal life. This is one of the components of who
you are. You have this emotional tie to this material component of self.
So I
would avail myself of this sense and to the degree that it is possible, I would want to follow what direction this sense would
lead me into, towards those things which brought me peace, contentment, love, joy, all of those. Go with your heart and you
can seldom do wrong. Is it a strict right or wrong? The choice is yours and any choice you make could be used to the good.
Caller: Thank you so very much.
Charles:
Thank you for your question. Very well then, I think there will be quite a bit to type up tonight. So, if there are no further
contributions or questions then I would make a motion to call this meeting to a conclusion. Thank you all for joining tonight.

The Goat and The Horse
There was a farmer who had a horse and a goat.
One day, the
horse became ill and he called the veterinarian, who said: Well, your horse has a virus. He must take this medicine for three
days. I'll come back on the 3rd day and if he's not better, we're going to have to put him down.
Nearby, the goat listened closely to their conversation.
The next day, they gave him the
medicine and left.
The goat approached the horse and said: Be strong, my friend. Get up or else they're going
to put you to sleep!
On the second day, they gave him the medicine and left.
The goat came back and said: Come on buddy, get up or else you're going to die! Come on, I'll help you get up. Let's
go! One, two, three...
On the third day, they came to give him the medicine and the vet said: Unfortunately, we're
going to have to put him down tomorrow.
Otherwise, the virus might spread and infect the other horses.
After they left, the goat approached
the horse and said: Listen pal, it's now or never! Get up, come on! Have courage! Come on! Get up! Get up! That's it, slowly!
Great! Come on, one, two, three... Good, good. Now faster, come on... Fantastic! Run, run more!
Yes! Yay! Yes! You did it, you're a champion!!!
All of a sudden, the owner came
back, saw the horse running in the field and began shouting: It's a miracle! My horse is cured. We must have a grand party.
Let's Cook the goat!!!!
Lesson: Management never knows which employee actually deserves the appraisal.
