Isis' Message of the Day -
 
"We are pledged to Our Oneness. There is nothing else to pledge to. There is nothing else that amounts to a hill of beans. There is no Jack and Jill. There is no pail of water. There is nothing but the Oneness of Us which is One.
 
"The One Who speaks is the One Who listens. Speaker and hearer are One. Author and reader are One. The Sun shines, and the Moon is the reflection of the Sun, and the Stars are a million Suns sparkling in the sky, and who enjoys the Sun more than We? And Who is more enjoyed than We?
 
"What can compare to the Oneness of Us when We are One and there is nothing else but Our Oneness?"

Today's Angel Message
====================
 
Dear Ones, The next time you go into a shopping mall, really notice the people. Become aware of their expressions. How many look vacant? How many look frustrated? Now observe how many are smiling. Pay particular attention to those people. How do you feel when you see them? What makes them special? Do they ooze a special type of energy or feeling? Do you find a smile working its way onto your face? Smiling and laughter are contagious. Be part of the laughter contingent. Be at peace. Bless your hearts.

Archangel Gabriel: Align the Many Aspects of  Yourself 
Using Awareness and Compassion
Received by Shanta Gabriel August 7, 2011
===============================================
 
Dear Ones,
 
In so many ways the lives you lead have inherent patterns of energy that are fragments of other parts of yourself. As you know, you are so much more than the physical, mental and emotional components that focus most people’s attention much of the time. You are also much more than the spiritual aspects that inspire you and offer alternatives to your 3D reality.
 
The makeup of what is your fullest being is beyond conception, yet even a small glimmer of awareness can take you into greater joy, health and internal alignment. These expansive vibrations are some of the greater aspects of yourself. At the same time your more contracted fields are also important elements of your being. They actually hold your vitality and grounded connection to the earth, so are able to give you increasing ability to manifest what you most want in your life.
 
It is these, perhaps considered to be, the less attractive aspects of yourself that are calling for compassion and awareness at this time. Your smallest child self and your sometimes rebellious, adolescent self, are still actively participating in your adult life. Often they represent the emotional upheaval you don’t understand and prefer to ignore. Yet these are aspects of your whole self affecting your world. There are many books written and brilliant therapists that can bring relief when you need assistance clearing the reactive aspects of your most contracted and often needy self. Your willingness, however, to bring compassion and understanding to these areas of your life can relieve some of the pain and confusion these parts of yourself can cause.
 
Give Yourself a Fast from Negative Thoughts About You
 
Every part of you has a gift, and deserves your unconditional love and respect. When you are willing to include all parts of your being into your fullest self, you can begin to open to the insights and awareness that will help bring the unity so many are seeking. Often your softening the judgments you give to these parts of your self can offer a key. If criticism and judgment actually brought enlightenment into being, many more would be enjoying that state of consciousness. On the other hand, were you to imagine how you want to be treated by others, and think of the love you are seeking to receive, the first place to look would be within.
 
Notice how you reject your feelings, and discount aspects of you that you may deem to be inadequate or “nonspiritual.” Sometimes those who are most diligent on their ascension paths are ruthless when it comes to the traits they consider less desirable in their essential nature. What can offer the swiftest path to more clarity and direction is to honor your feelings and bring greater respect to how you think of yourself.
 
Those looking for a mate would do well to offer themselves the love and companionship they are seeking. Be the most loving friend you ever had. Give yourself the respect, the gift of listening and the compassion you most want to receive. Offer yourself the fullest light of God’s Divine Love and fill up your being with this sweetness every day. Allow yourself to be nourished by these gifts you and only you, can give. You are capable of loving in a deep and committed way. How much richer your life would be if you were committing to love, support and respect yourself, and to offer compassion and the light of your awareness to all the aspects of yourself that come before you needing love and healing.
 
There are great changes occurring within everyone’s life as the Earth is accelerating in frequency. When did you think you would need to love yourself most? This energy is working like a centrifuge that spins all that is not in alignment with Divine Love into your conscious awareness. Turning your back on these aspects will only cause them to return to you with greater vigor and more dire consequences until you acknowledge them, and deal with the gifts that are given for you to work with. It has been said that you can get it with a feather, a hammer or a Mack truck, but know that your soul is asking you to grow and evolve. The process can be more graceful if you engage all the aspects of yourself so they can come into alignment with your higher purpose in life.
 
The Angel of Compassion Awaits You
 
Never imagine that you are alone in these darker moments. You are being asked to shine the light of awareness into these interior corners. Whatever quality of consciousness you need in your life has an angel offering that assistance. The Angel of Compassion can bring you an infinite quality of such pure love and caring that you cannot help but soften within. When you can allow yourself to open and receive a greater level of this kind of love, it becomes a catalyst in your life. The barriers that you have erected within your being will crumble and all manner of assistance, seen and unseen, will be there for you.
 
Your soul knows what you need. Often you have felt a nagging restlessness, or a recurring thought or feeling, indicating your highest self is calling for your attention. It is important to engage all your inner resources with intention and prayer so these more expansive aspects of your self can help all parts of you to come into alignment with your soul’s purpose. Your greatest purpose in life is to come into Unity and Oneness with God and have this connection within every area of your being, without separation.
 
A Prayerful Suggestion
 
Here is a suggestion for a prayer that may be helpful:
 
God, Goddess, All That Is,
 
I call on my most Divine, Universal Self to receive Love and Wisdom from the Source of all Life and bring these gifts into my being. I ask for help to receive what is being offered to me now, in a deeper way than ever before. I ask to have any barriers and obstacles I may have put into place to protect myself at a different time, be removed in a healthy, graceful way. I ask to open to knowing what all the aspects of myself need in order to be whole, and in alignment with my soul’s purpose. I ask to be shown how much I am loved and cared for every step of the way. I invite a new level of Faith to work in my being so I know I am being guided and protected, as I allow my life to change and evolve on every level with Grace and Ease. I am grateful for the new awareness that is working within me. I know I am walking an empowered path that allows a graceful flow of the Divine Light of Love and Guidance to show me the way in every moment. For these and all my gifts in life, I say Thank You God and may it be so.
 
Be at peace, Little Lamb, for you have set forth on a path that will change the world as you know it and bring greater harmony into every area your life. Receive the blessings of this time, and know you are loved.

Oakbridge University - Jeshua - Message of the Day
 
Beloved one, if it is the holy Self of you that decrees that it is time to release the body, then that will be no big deal. You have recycled many, many times. There has been a worry that ones have verbalized and said, “Well, if something happens to the body, where am I going to dwell? Where am I going to be? I have to keep the body. I have to defend the body.” This has been a belief that has been handed down through the ages so that there has been much of fear and much of defensiveness. But you do not have to worry about keeping the body.

August's Soul Message: Loving Touches
by Christina Lunden
===================================
 
When was the last time that you touched someone? When was the last time that you were lovingly touched? Touches can be as simple as a pat on the back, a touch of the hand or a big bear hug. For our relationships, it is important at this time to remember to touch. 
 
When my son was young, I was told to touch him when I wanted to talk to him. Because he had different energy from me that touch would help him to hear me. All I did was lightly touch his hand or arm and start talking and the difference in our communication was amazing! For my daughter, it was the opposite. I could be all the way across our home and she would finish my sentences. We still do that thousands of miles away from each other. But that doesn't mean I wasn't close to my son, we just had different energy and needed a way to connect. And that connection was through touch. 
 
Starting with our young children, they generally want our touch but as they get older and get into school, they start to push us physically away. This is perfect for their soul lessons however, they are still children. Sometimes just a reassuring touch on the back, arm or hand is perfect for the talk that you are having. Or maybe it does warrant a hug, even if your child is not the hugging type. Ask your Angels and their Angels to guide you to touch lovingly and appropriately. 
 
It may be a little different for touching with your birth family as "rules" have already been set as you grew up. We didn't hug in my family growing up and it made me very touchy with my friends. I needed that! But my family just wasn't that way. So if your family was like that, going to them now and all of sudden touching, wouldn't be appropriate. In this situation, ask your Angels, when and who to reach out to. You may be like me and just be touchier with your friends. That is fine. If you come from a family where you always hugged and touched, great. Just continue on, my blessed friend. 
 
The biggie that the Angels want to share about is our love relationships. Here is where we need encouragement to touch more, especially those of us in relationships for more than a couple of years. Remember what it was like when you were dating? You couldn't touch enough. Now, it could be just a peck on the cheek or lips before leaving to work each day.  Most Lightworkers are in relationships with very grounding people, who are not walking this path. Our loved ones may be struggling with the effects of what is going on around them and taking out their fear and agitation in our relationships. If this is the case for you, touching more may be your answer. Think of ways you can reach out and touch them in everyday life. Like touching their arm as you walk by in the kitchen. Or lean over while they are on the computer and touch their shoulders. Or you can hold their hand when you are walking or sitting watching a movie. You know how to touch. We all do. Maybe we just haven't been doing enough of it because of all that we have been going through with this Ascension. 
 
Try this wonderful tip the Angels shared with me for my relationship years ago: Before you go to bed for the night, lean over and kiss your partner while putting your hand on their heart and placing your other hand on your heart. This will connect you spiritually through your hearts for the entire time you sleep. (It connects your physical hearts because you are touching them, emotional hearts because you are kissing and spiritually hearts because you are opening up in the highest, most loving way.) Then before you part ways in the morning, do the same thing. You will see a softening of energy and a stronger connection within a day. 
 
Going through these recent years, hasn't been easy. And when we have been lonely, we know that just a touch or a hug would make us feel better. Sometimes we hear our Angels say, "We are hugging you!" Well, that is great but we need something more. We need the physical touch because we are here in the physical realm. You need it as much as your family and friends do. This will bless you too! Think about it, when was the last time that you reached out and touched someone? 
 
Blessings for loving, appropriate touches,
Christina

HEAVEN #3914
=======================
The Wings of Your Heart
August 13, 2011
=======================
 
God said:
 
Where are you travelling? You are always going somewhere. What is your destination? Whether you go to New York or a small town, the destination is the same. You are coming to Heaven. You are on your way.
 
All travel is a metaphor for reaching Me.
 
Everything in the relative life is a metaphor. Everything in the world can be taken in a bigger sense.
 
Putting carpet on the floor is a metaphor for covering the Earth with blessings. Putting curtains on your windows is so that you have something to peek through and a bigger world to see. Mowing the grass is confirming the solidity of the ground under your feet.
 
You are readying yourself for the big moment when you clean your glasses and see what you hadn't seen before. Now, when you see, it is so simple, so clear, so easy. You had everything, only you didn't see. If you saw, you would see a world so lighted and so rich that you would lift up and fly as you always, somehow, buried deep, knew you could.
 
You would sail across the sky, and your thoughts would be wings. You would take the world with you and deliver it to Heaven. You would be a dove, and you would be love. You wouldn't miss anything now. You would love everything now. You would love yourself, and how you would laugh. You won't be able to believe that once you didn't see what you see now vastly before you. You would laugh at the joke you played on yourself, and you would fly higher and higher, and your heart would be full, and your laughter would abound everywhere.
 
You would soak your feet in the ocean, and still you would be light as air in Heaven. There would be no contradiction anywhere. There would be no Why's and Wherefore's. There would be love blazing, and there would be nothing else to want and nothing else to know. Your heart would be full, and you would take off again and again, only to alight and bless like a butterfly and then beat the wings of your heart all the way the Heaven. It would not even be a minute away.
 
This is the instant gratification you have long sought. It will come all at once. You would know that all at once leaves no room for before or later.
 
This is no time, and this is no space. You are out of them. No longer do they bracket you.
 
You can have this while you live as a human being on Earth. There is no contradiction with this. It is one and same. You have been living in Heaven all along, only you weren't looking. You were looking at objections. Honestly, you forgot to look.
 
It used to be that you and I thought different ways, and now We think alike, We see alike, We are vast alike. When you surrendered your heart, you surrendered your army ways. You weren't giving up anything, of course. You were gaining all you ever desired. You moved up to first-class. It was always there to move up into.
 
And now you alight awhile. Now you take off tight shoes, and you go barefoot. Of course, you go barefoot in Heaven. You didn't think you went shopping and bought shoes, did you? Inside your shoes are your feet. Underneath your feet is Heaven. That is as true of tar roads as it is of Heaven.
 
You shine from sea to sea. You are the green pastures. You have been in Heaven all along, and now you know, and now you stay.

Truth Mountain
by Jeff Brown
================ 
 
In the early years of my Soulshaping journey, I had a constant desire to be “in the moment.” I didn’t quite know what that meant, but I knew that there was some connection between my capacity to be fully present for the moment and my ultimate spiritual expansion. If I couldn’t be here, how could I possibly grow to the next place on my journey?
 
I looked for the moment everywhere. I hunted for it on the yoga mat, the meditation cushion, the Bioenergetic breathing stool. I sought it through detachment practices, depth-full adventures, emotional clearings, mantra and tantra. All Go(o)d but something was missing. 
 
What was missing was truth. We often talk about living in the moment but it is my experience that we cannot live fully in the moment if we are not living in truth. Truth is the gateway to the moment. Without truth, our breaths are somehow incomplete, our presence shrouded, our intimacy half-hearted because we are not fully there for it. The moment we own our truths, we get truth-chills . . . little sighs of relief from our body temple, as the veils to clarity fall away and our divine presence enters. Here we are. Here now. 
 
Of course, truth is a subjective experience. What is one person’s truth is another person’s falsity. For me, truth is that which reflects my own distinct soul-scriptures- those callings, lessons and archetypal pathways that live at the heart of my spiritual expansion. To the extent that I am honouring my scriptures, I am on my true-path and in the moment. When I bypass them, I am somewhere else entirely. For me, no spiritual practice is effective unless I am courageously honoring my path. 
 
It took me a long time to realize that there were symptoms of my alienation from true-path. They included chronic illness, sleeplessness, self-distractive behavior, and perpetual dissatisfaction. I took to calling these symptoms “truth-aches” . . . nudging feelings of falsity, palpable longings for an authentic life. Although sometimes painful, and although embracing them may well force us to turn our habitual patterns upside down in order to effect change, truth aches actually contain the seeds of our transformation. When we repress them, truth decay sets in and the only thing that can save us is a truth canal. Sometimes we wait too long, and we lose our truth altogether. 
 
My truth aches were most evident in my emotional life. When I was repressing old hurts, anger, grief, shame, I felt disconnected from the moment. I would sit on the meditation cushion and feel nothing but agitation. My consciousness was still back there. In Soulshaping, I call this “the power of then,” the effect the past has on our present day awareness. Although the physical body travels forward chronologically, our emotional consciousness lingers at any point of departure. To come fully into the moment, we have to go back and deal with the wounds and memories that obstruct us. Not get lost in them, but own them and work them through to the lessons they contain. We have to be there then, before we can be here now.

I encourage you to contemplate your relationship to truth, particularly with regards to your personal relationships and your daily pursuits. What does ‘true-path’ mean to you? Are you embodying your truths? Do you hear a nagging voice calling you in another direction, or do you have peace with path?
 
Lately I think of truth as a magnificent white-tipped Mountain. At its peak is a deeper and more inclusive experience of the moment. As we move through our lives, Truth Mountain comes in and out of view, calling out to us and reminding us of what is possible. The more truthful we are about our path, the higher our consciousness climbs. When our view is blocked, we know that we still have work to do in the valleys down below, traversing the foothills of illusion, sidestepping the quicksands of artifice, overcoming our fear of (interior) heights. But we will get to the peak, if we are willing to do the work, if we can be truthful with ourselves about the ways we avoid the truth.

Something magical happens when we excavate and honor our truth, however one chooses to define it. It doesn’t matter how much we achieve or how many things we master, if we are not walking our true-path. The moment we lie to ourselves, we leave the moment. The bridge across the river lie is ever-tempting, it still tempts me often, but there is nothing for us there. When we shed our cloaks of falsity and shamelessly embody our truths, the God Gate opens and our Essence steps on through. Truth is the gateway to the moment. Honest.
