Teacher: The Spirit Within. Subject:
“Live Courageously!”
Received by Valdir Soares.
The Spirit Within: “Most
human beings cannot resist the temptation of trying to control the future. However, despite knowing that a future which is
influenced by you can be very useful to your plans, you should also consider that there exists the predetermined future which
is God’s configured plan for the Master Universe. Ultimately the Creator rules the whole, and so there is the potentially
determined future, which is the natural consequence of human choices, in your case the decisions made in your life. So, to
control your future, take control of your choices, for they make up your future in the end.
“Neither I, nor other
beings committed to the will of God, will interfere with your personal decisions. What we certainly do – I from within,
and others from without – is to work with your decisions and help you make the very best of them. The more spiritually
driven they are, the more your life will be uplifted by us. That we do; but we do not create situations that are not part
of the scope of your personal decisions. Do give us good material to work with, so we can better pave the way to your future.
“Are
you afraid of the future? You already know that the will of the Father is perfect, good and pleasant beyond comparison, and
it will prevail after all. Furthermore, I will be there for you, my child. I will not ‘let go of your hand’ at
any time. You can count on me, and you know you can. Therefore, there is no reason to fear the future, because I am in your
future. Yes, I first talked to you on that long-ago childhood day of your First Communion – and you cried as you would
cry many times since, upon feeling my leading. I was there with you in those early days, and I will be right here with you
until your transfer to the Mansion Worlds where we will once again meet up, so fear not.
“You must learn to be
more resolute. By that I mean for you to increase your efforts to strengthen your eternal soul. Balance your life, my dear
child, and live courageously; knowing that no real or permanent harm can affect you once you are committed to the will of
the Father. It does not matter how many scratches or cuts you may sustain on the way – nothing will ‘put you out
of business’. Remember always that I am right here inside you, to lead you on the path. Therefore, again I say, ‘Live
courageously!’”

Heavenletter #4465 How Can a Worthwhile Desire Not Come True? , February 14, 2013 God
said:
To everything, there is an answer. It may not be an answer you want, yet it is the answer you get. You may not want to
hear that answer, yet it is your answer. You wanted a different answer. And you yearn to know why that answer. Why a no to
a sweet desire of your heart, and you want to know why, as if God has to answer you the way you would like as well.
When your heart’s desire is not fulfilled, all is not lost. Consider for a moment, no matter how heartbreaking the
answer is to you, the answer you receive is the right one. How can it be, you ask and ask again and again.
It positively absolutely is the right answer. Sure, you don’t understand it. How can you understand why on earth
that your true love did not come to you?
I ask: How on earth can you understand? It makes no sense.
But what if everything that occurs in life or does not occur is right? Impossible for you to understand how that can be
true. But what if this is true? If this is true, and you can accept the possibility, your suffering would be less. Your suffering
would be a lot less. Your suffering would be non-existent. How can this be, you wonder, yet what if this is true?
It could well be that you are being spared what could have meant greater unhappiness. Right now you may be sure that a
particular person is your true love and, yet, later you may see (or not) that you and he were not meant for each other, and
there are other tears you would have shed mightily. How many times a day on Earth does a dream come true, and it is not the
dream you thought it would be.
And then you ask again: How can such a good worthy dream held high not come true? You ask how can this be. You ask why.
You ask for an explanation.
Further, how can it be right that your beloved one may leave his body and you never even have the opportunity to see what
might have been?
Harder yet, how can a child be born to you, and your child leaves the world, and you are left bereft. And you ask further:
Why, me? Why my baby? And the questioning goes on.
I will ask you: From the human perspective, how can any of this make sense to you? From the human perspective, what good
can you possibly see coming from such heartbreak?
The perceived death may be for your evolution. It may be for the child’s evolution. It may be for the world’s
evolution. It may be that you are an innocent bystander. All this is just about impossible for you to grasp. But get this
far, beloveds. Get this far: What occurs is not intended as a punishment.
Surely, you don’t picture Me up here in Heaven plotting ways to hurt your heart. Surely, you don’t picture
Me up in Heaven, rubbing My hands with delight, twirling My moustache like a villain in an old movie?
Surely, I am looking at a vaster picture than you can see. From My vantage, the pieces do fall into place.
You cannot understand, and this is what you may have to understand to the point that you can accept that it is beyond your
understanding and you will not fight against it any longer.
How can it be that you are such a good worker, for instance, and good to everyone, and then you have a rough day at work.
There’s that expression: All in a day’s work. Or maybe the expression is sometimes: All in a hard day’s
work.
And there is the French expression: C’est la vie. This is life. Such is life.
Wherever your heartache may be, come to the point where you shake your head and get up and keep going and let the past
be past and find out what life holds for you now and live it. | |
_________ Message from the "team"_________
Think
Big Peggy Black and the "team"
We are here once again offering
our loving support as well as our guidance and encouragement. We can feel the collective sigh as you settle into the shifts
that you have experienced. There is still intensity occurring with your weather and there are conflicts across your planet.
We wish we could say that this will change soon, however change in the third dimension does take a bit of time.
We
assure you that change could come about in the span of a breath if all those who are anchoring a physical form together envisioned
and called forth a new reality. You know this to be true as well, for you have felt and experienced the shift in consciousness.
We acknowledge you for your own personal expansion, for you are truly anchoring
this expanded awareness into the collective lightfield. Even as you are adjusting to being recalibrated, even as you are expanding
beyond your comfort zone, even as you are straddling timelines and dimensions, you are holding and calling forth a matrix
pattern of your future and the future of the planet on which you serve.
Now is the time to think BIG. When you think
big, big events and changes come about. Never be afraid of doing this, the bigger you think the better. The more vivid your
vision infused with your 'passion' the quicker will it manifest. It does not matter how impossible these thoughts
may seem. Remember, you are working with your expanded knowing and understanding as a multidimensional alchemist in partnership
with the divine forces of light.
This is your time! This is your time to step out fully and bring all your gifts to
the table. Put aside the limited thinking of your programming. Put aside all the limited beliefs that you have claimed
of being powerless and helpless in the face of the challenges. These are all false. We know when you observe your reality
with the current chaos and conflicts, the personal challenges you might be facing with health, family dynamics or your livelihood,
they certainly appear real. And we will grant you that from a very limited perspective these experiences can be called real.
However,
we are encouraging you to hold all that appears challenging both in the world as well as your personal lives, as the true
opportunity it is. We have observed that unless something becomes extremely difficult and uncomfortable most humans seem to
settle into a pattern of acceptance. And it is only when pushed to the edge, that they take action for change.
Let
us say that there are those across your planet who are being pushed to the edge of what they will accept. They are taking
action, but not always from a place of clear understanding of who they truly are. So their action is still generated from
a very limited perspective of what is possible. They push against the things they hope to change, which only empowers the
challenge.
We are inviting you as the aware being that you are to use your awakened abilities and understanding to
call forth a new and fresh reality that honors all. All change begins in the energy field of possibilities. There is no pushing
against what you do not want instead there is a powerful calling forth of what you truly want. Again we invite you to think
big, visualize the best results, and imagine an outcome that is outside your box of limited beliefs.
Open the energetic
doors to all your gifts as an awesome being of light who carries the template and patterns of a future reality. This is who
you are; never doubt this for a second of your earth time. You have at you fingertips the ability to create in the most awesome,
magnificent manner a future that is life sustaining and life enhancing for all.
Relax
into our words; pretend if need be that what we are sharing is the truth of who you are. Allow yourself to imagine the perfect
solution to the situation, occurring in the most incredible way. Invite that aspect of your higher self, your multidimensional
self, to offer an inspiration, an invention, and a solution to what you are focused upon.
Invite celestial partnership;
open the cosmic lines of communication which allow you to receive brilliant ideas for current problems occurring on the planet.
Open the lines to this celestial support in your daily interactions and personal challenges. It is time for this exchange
between the physical and the non-physical to take place.
We invite you to recognize yourself as an alchemist, a being
who happens to be experiencing this physical reality as well as the reality of pure energy and expression. Use your
tools, step into your personal knowing and power, and think big.
Call forth the changes, see them manifest in the best
possible manner for the well-being and expansion of all. Anchor this vision fully into this physical domain. This truly is
what you are being called to do. As an awakened being, stretching fully into your personal understanding, continue to exercise
the possibilities of your unlimited abilities.
Get acquainted with the expanded levels which are available, notice
how these aspects manifest for you personally. Invite your paranormal gifts to come forth, those extrasensory abilities which
allow you to interface with dimensions of energy that are not visible. Get acquainted with your shadow, that aspect of yourself
that is usually repressed and projected into your experience. Get acquainted with your future self.
You know all this;
we are just here to remind and confirm this knowing. We are here to encourage and support your efforts and service. You are
a member of the galactic family of light, on assignment here in this timeframe and dimension. You are the anchor for the new
future. Remember that you are not alone in your efforts; you always have divine and celestial support upon your request. So
while you find yourself here in this physical reality acknowledge and invite the loving and expanded beings of light to assist
and join you in this work and service. Think BIG and Big things will come about.
We
acknowledge you as awesome creators; you are seeing and realizing the changes that you are bringing about. Be patient yet
know that each time you hold a vision you are joining others both physical and non-physical who are also holding the vision.
We celebrate with you as you anchor this new calibrated energy in this dense reality. Each time you offer yourself in service
to the light there is a shift in consciousness available to all. Be embraced by our gratitude and deep appreciation for who
you are. When you call upon the beings of light, begin to sense their presence. We are always available at your request. The
'team'

RAISING
CONSCIOUSNESS - The Shift from Separation to Oneness
by Patricia Cota-Robles February 14, 2013
During this Love-filled time when people all over the world
are focusing on Valentine's Day and the Love they have for the special people in their lives, we have the perfect opportunity
to initiate the next vitally important phase of the Divine Plan for the Earth and Humanity.
2013 is a New Beginning.
This is true not only for the Earth, but for Humanity and all Life evolving on this planet. There is a lot of confusion about
what actually happened when the Earth aligned with the Galactic Core of the Milky Way on December 21, 2012. There are also
many questions about what it means for the Earth to have been birthed into the 5th-Dimensional frequencies of the New Earth
on December 22, 2012. That confusion is very logical; after all, we are in uncharted waters. This was a unique experiment
that had never been attempted in any system of worlds. Never had a planet that had fallen to the depths of separation and
duality the Earth fell to been given the opportunity to Ascend through two dimensional shifts in such a short period of time.
Not even the Company of Heaven knew whether or not Humanity could pull this off. But, WE DID IT!
The God Victorious
accomplishment of this experiment transcended the greatest expectations of Heaven. The Earth has reclaimed her rightful place
in our Solar System, and every man, woman, and child belonging to or serving the Earth at this time made the conscious choice,
through his or her I AM Presence, to move forward in the Light with the Earth and the rest of Humanity. This is true whether
or not the person was aware of this decision through the fragmented consciousness of their human ego.
So what happens
now? Well, as I mentioned, this is just the beginning. Now it is up to you and me and the rest of Humanity to bring the patterns
of perfection for the New Earth into physical manifestation. These patterns are flooding in, through, and around the mental
and emotional strata of this planet. This means that they are readily available for all of us to tap into and to bring into
our life experiences through our thoughts, words, actions, feelings, and beliefs.
I know that many people were expecting
that the patterns of the New Earth would instantly manifest with our Ascension into the 5th Dimension, but that is not the
way this process works. With the Birth of the New Earth the patterns of perfection did instantaneously begin flooding into
the mental and emotional strata enveloping the Earth. However, the Universal Law is that in order for something to physically
manifest on Earth, it must be drawn through the Divinity pulsating within the hearts of the people embodied on Earth. This
is what is meant by the statement, "God needs a body."
With the victory of the Shift of the Ages and Earth's
Birth into the 5th-Dimensional frequencies of the New Earth, the Light quotient on the planet is increasing by leaps and bounds
every single day. This is greatly accelerating the awakening process taking place within the masses of Humanity. When people
awaken they "see with new eyes and hear with new ears." As this occurs, they remember the Oneness of ALL Life. They
realize that there is no separation, and that there is no such thing as "us and them."
This knowing motivates
awakened people to action, and inspires them to do something about the maladies existing in the world. This is a very good
thing. The issue is that most people don't know where to begin. They focus on outer appearances which are the EFFECT of the
problem not the CAUSE of the problem. People come to the erroneous conclusion that by changing outer appearances the problem
will be solved, but that is not true. When we deal with just the outer appearance of a situation instead of what is CAUSING
the problem, it is like trying to change the reflection in a mirror without changing the object that is causing the reflection.
This is a futile effort, and we will fail every time. Outer appearances will only change if we address what is CAUSING of
the problem in the first place.
Tackling the CAUSE of the maladies existing on Earth at this time is the next vitally
important facet of the Divine Plan. Presently, Awakened Humanity is focusing on healing and transmuting everything that conflicts
with the patterns of perfection for the New Earth, knowing full-well that these human miscreations must be transmuted into
Light in order for the New Earth to manifest in all her glory.
Sincere and deeply committed caring people are rolling
up their sleeves and taking on issues involving guns, violence, child abuse, sexual assault, crime, war, terrorism, drugs,
poverty, disease, corruption in government, the appalling greed associated with economic institutions, the health care industry,
and corporations of every kind, hunger, homelessness, the abuse of power, inequality among women and minorities, civil rights,
human rights, animal rights, pollution, the environment, the inequitable distribution of wealth, lack of jobs, religious fanaticism,
prejudice, and every other malady existing on Earth. The astonishing thing is that not one of these things is the CAUSE of
Humanity's pain and suffering. Every single one of these maladies is the EFFECT of the problem.
So what is the CAUSE
of the unbearable pain Humanity has been experiencing for so very long?
The CAUSE of ALL of the maladies existing on
Earth is Humanity's distorted and fragmented consciousness based in separation and duality.
This consciousness is the
antithesis of Christ Consciousness. It is the opposite of the patterns of Oneness, Divine Love, and Reverence for Life that
are encoded within the patterns of perfection for the New Earth.
When every person on Earth has completed his or her
Awakening into Christ Consciousness, we will all know that it is impossible to harm any part of Life without harming ourselves
and every other facet of Life. With that realization, we will consciously and deliberately operate from the heart space of
Oneness and Love. We will open our hearts and minds to the patterns of perfection for the New Earth, and we will find viable,
win-win solutions for every situation or challenge.
We will clearly KNOW that anything we do to enhance life for any
person or any living thing will enhance life for ourselves and our loved ones. Just imagine, when everyone is operating from
a consciousness of Oneness and Love none of the problems we are presently experiencing will exist. We will have shifted the
CAUSE of those maladies and the outer world EFFECTS will naturally change.
Obviously, the most important thing we can
do at this time is to assist our precious sisters and brothers in the Family of Humanity to raise their consciousness from
separation to Oneness. Then they will KNOW they are One with ALL Life and they will live their lives from that profound Truth.
There
are many people who are so buried in their self-inflicted pain and suffering that they cannot even grasp the concept of the
Oneness of All Life. Often these people are acting out of fear and perpetuating atrocities on their fellow human beings. If
we focus on their barbaric acts it is nearly impossible to muster up the desire to help them in any way, but they are the
ones who desperately need for us to help them shift consciousness. This will greatly benefit all of us.
Remember, we
are One. There is no separation. As we are lifted up, they are lifted up. And as they are lifted up, ALL Life is lifted up
with them. It will be to our great advantage if we help them. And by helping them shift consciousness we will greatly accelerate
the tangible manifestation of the New Earth. They are our sisters and brothers in every sense of the word, and we are here
on Earth during this auspicious moment because we have volunteered to be our sister's and brother's keeper.
Together
we can do this. And when we succeed God Victoriously in helping to lift the most recalcitrant souls out of the illusion of
separation and into Christ Consciousness, we will experience the wonders of the New Earth as well as the elation of Heaven.
The
Company of Heaven has given us a visualization that will help us accomplish this wondrous facet of the Divine Plan. A hard
copy of the meditation is printed below, and I have worked with my Angel friend, Adi, to produce a video of the meditation
for YouTube. This is the link to the video...

RAISING CONSCIOUSNESS - The Shift
from Separation to Oneness
I AM my I AM Presence and I AM One with the I AM Presence of every person on Earth.
As
One Breath, One Heartbeat, One Voice, and One Energy, Vibration, and Consciousness of Pure Divine Love, we invoke our Father-Mother
God and the entire Company of Heaven to assist us in raising the consciousness of every person on Earth in perfect alignment
with his or her Divine Plan and the highest good for all concerned.
Beloved Father-Mother God, we ask that you expand
Your Flame of Transfiguring Divine Love which is pulsating within the Divinity of every person's Heart Flame. Create from
this Sacred Fire a Heart of Love. Allow this Heart of Love to expand and expand through each person's Heart Flame until it
envelops the entire Planet Earth. (pause)
Now the Legions of Light from every Ascended level of Being project
their Love into the Divine Matrix of our Father-Mother God, the Cosmic I AM, ALL That Is. This matrix is the Body of God within
which every particle of Life throughout the whole of Creation lives, moves, breathes, and has its being.
This unprecedented
influx of Divine Love flows through our Father-Mother God's Divine Matrix and floods the Earth blessing every man, woman,
and child. As this Gift of Divine Love bathes the Earth, every atomic and subatomic particle and wave of Life on this planet
is lifted into a Higher Order of Being. (pause)
The Light of God now flows into the mental body, the conscious
mind, the subconscious mind, the superconscious mind, and the physical brain structure of every man, woman, and child on Earth.
This
Gift of Light from our Father-Mother God balances the right and left hemispheres within each person's brain, and activates
their spiritual brain centers. Through this activity of Light, each person's pituitary, pineal, and hypothalamus glands and
the ganglionic centers at the base of their brain are restored to their full Divine Potential.
Utilizing this powerful
Gift of Light, each person's I AM Presence now recalibrates the circuitry within their physical brain structure enabling them
to withstand a higher frequency of Divine Consciousness. This activity of Light heals the fragmented circuitry that has prevented
Humanity from communing with their I AM Presence and the Company of Heaven.
The I AM Presence within each person's
Heart Flame now creates the sacred space that enables that person to open their 5th-Dimensional Crown Chakra of Enlightenment
to full breadth. This allows each one to communicate with their I AM Presence and with the Company of Heaven on a conscious
level while reaching ever higher into Christ Consciousness.
As I hold the focus of my attention on the Light of God
that is flowing through every person's physical brain structure, I clearly see Humanity's physical, etheric, mental, and emotional
bodies being flooded with the resplendent Light of God.
This multidimensional, multifaceted, free-flowing 5th-Dimensional
Crystalline Solar Light expands into every cell of Humanity's Earthly Bodies allowing the I AM Presence of each person to
take full dominion of this experience.
Now, all is in readiness. Through their I AM Presence, every person on Earth
will participate at both inner and outer levels in this activity of Light, which will raise the consciousness of the masses
and assist every recalcitrant soul to shift from a consciousness of separation to a consciousness of Oneness and Reverence
for Life.
I AM LOVING ALL LIFE FREE
I continue to breathe rhythmically
and deeply. The Legions of Light throughout Infinity are with me now as I greet this sacred moment from within the peace of
my I AM Presence. I AM One with all Life. I now realize that I AM One with ALL Humanity and together we are standing forth
as the collective 5th-Dimensional Solar I AM Presence on Earth.
I now reach up into the Infinity of my own Divine Consciousness.
As I AM lifted up, all of Humanity is lifted up with me. In this frequency of Divine Consciousness, Humanity's free will becomes
one with God's Will, and Humanity's Divine Consciousness is reclaimed here on Earth. Humanity's Divine Consciousness reveals
the profound Truth that We are One. This Higher Consciousness pulsates with Divine Love and Reverence for ALL Life.
Within
the embrace of Divine Consciousness, Humanity experiences an endless ocean of Light that flows from Suns beyond Suns beyond
Suns, and each person KNOWS, "I AM That I AM. I AM the Open Door for this celestial ocean of Light. I AM the Light of the
world, and my time for higher service to Humanity and ALL Life is at hand."
Now, this cosmic ocean of Light intensifies,
flowing unimpeded through Humanity's physical, etheric, mental, and emotional bodies. As each person assimilates this Gift
from On High, they release into the Light all thoughts, feelings, words, actions, beliefs, and memories that are based in
the consciousness of separation or duality.
The I AM Presence of each person now affirms, "All that I AM, all of
the God Perfection that flows into my Crown Chakra of Enlightenment is manifesting through me now on the New Earth. I AM at
peace on the New Earth. I AM resting in supreme God Confidence. I AM opening the 5th-Dimensional Stargate of my Heart. I AM
One with my Father-Mother God and the Powers of Light throughout the Universe. I AM ready now to Love ALL Life FREE!"
Instantaneously,
I see the Truth of every person on Earth. I see every recalcitrant soul as a precious Child of God, no matter how far their
behavior patterns or their life experiences may be from reflecting that Truth. I perceive all of their human miscreations
and their unbalanced energies as innocent primordial Light entering my awareness now to be transmuted and Loved free.
I
happily greet my wayward sisters and brothers in the Family of Humanity and all of their unbalanced energy the same way my
Father-Mother God would greet them. I greet them with Love from within the embrace of Peace, Detachment, God Confidence, and
Supreme Authority.
Within the Invincible Forcefield of God's Infinite Love I take these fallen souls into my Being,
and I hold them in my arms of Light as I would an injured child. They cannot overwhelm me or control me in any way, nor do
I need to fear them or shun them. I simply hold them and Love them until they surrender to the Love of God, desiring on their
own to rejoin the Kingdom of Heaven which is pulsating within the Divinity of my heart.
As these precious souls surrender
to the Light, their consciousness is raised and they begin to remember that they are Beloved Sons and Daughters of God. With
this sacred knowledge, they once again find their proper place in the Universe. In perfect Divine Order, they are set FREE
to live and cocreate the patterns of Love and Oneness on the New Earth. (pause)
Now this activity of Light
expands and expands, and I affirm to all Life everywhere:
"Precious
Children of God, come unto me and be raised up into the Light and Love of our Father-Mother God." (repeat 3 times)
As an Instrument of
God, I AM accepting these precious souls and their unascended energies into my 5th-Dimensional Solar Heart Flame so that I
can Love them FREE. I AM in Holy Communion with my Father-Mother God, and as my recalcitrant sisters and brothers enter my
Heart Flame, they are also in Holy Communion with my Father-Mother God.
Now
rather than feeling rejected and thus perpetuating their negative behavior, my sisters and brothers feel accepted and loved
as the innate Children of God they are. They voluntarily release themselves into the Light, and they become One with all of
the great forcefields and momentums of Divine Light throughout the whole of Creation.
I
rejoice that recalcitrant souls and their unascended energies are finding their way Home through me, and I release myself
into the Peace of KNOWING:
"My I
AM Presence is handling ALL imperfection perfectly." (repeat 3 times)
Father-Mother God, from your glorious Heart I came into being, and into your Loving Heart one
day-when my service here on Earth is through-I shall return. I thank you for the privilege of having life and for my physical
embodiment during this sacred time when Divine Love and the patterns of perfection for the New Earth are being established
on this planet.
In deep humility, I offer you the cup of my consciousness
as a Holy Grail through which the Light of Creation will flow to fulfill the Divine Plan for the New Earth.
Beloved Father-Mother God from this moment forth, with every breath I take, empower me with
the ability to radiate the Love of my I AM Presence to all Life evolving on this planet. And so it
is! Beloved I AM That I AM.
