US “independence”; God: politics, three levels of participation, assessing candidates; multiple effects of prevailing vibrations; memory loss; dietary benefits; balance

With loving greetings from all souls at this station, this is Matthew. From our vantage point, Earth looks like a sea of strobe lights as people are responding to the prevailing vibrations. You are feeling what is going on much more than seeing developments.

We will get back to that, but first we want to give you an important glimpse of history that relates to the United States’ celebration of its independence from England with traditional Fourth of July parades, patriotic speeches and fireworks.

The highest universal council meant for the colonies that fought for independence from British rule to be a showcase of souls’ sovereignty. Once united, this nation was to have shown the rest of the world that when people are free to exercise God-given rights, they live peacefully, cooperatively, creatively and prosperously.

Successive waves of early settlers followed their urge to “be free” and the founders of the United States acted upon their divinely inspired mission to form a nation that guaranteed civil liberties, however limited those were in the beginning since many in the population were excluded. The darkness that was heavily entrenched on the planet enabled slavery to flourish and denied women the right to vote.

Those exclusions mattered not a whit to the Illuminati whose power, in part, was seated in England’s royal family. They were not about to forfeit control of the “free” populace or the land’s vast wealth of natural resources, and they swiftly extended their European empire across the Atlantic. Through the top figures in industries, banks and government—and later sneaking into law the Federal Reserve System that in no way is a federal institution—the Illuminati regained control of the United States.

During the centuries since they extinguished the beacon that nation was intended to be for your world, they kept spreading their network of corruption and deception until it was global. Now that the network is losing the remaining remnants of its former power, step by step you are consciously claiming the sovereignty that always has been yours as the god and goddess selves you are.

Now then, whenever our messages include politically-related information, readers email their objections. This is one of the more gracious comments: “If the messages are to prepare us spiritually for ascension, as Matthew has said, he should stick to that and stop trying to influence our political opinions.”

Rather than explain again why we speak about political issues and their importance in the context of ascension—Earth’s and your society’s—I have asked my mother to copy what God said about this.

[The following, an excerpt from the chapter “Be Informed and Act” in Voices of the Universe, was transmitted October 4, 2003.]

The politics that controls all countries, all peoples, all economies and resources of your planet homeland has been instrumental in bringing your world to the devastated state it’s in.

In no country on Earth are people free. For millennia the dark souls of civilizations beyond your planet have been influencing their willing Earth brothers and sisters in leadership positions to deceive and intimidate the rest of the people. Regardless of who holds national leadership roles, they rule by the dictates of those forces that are unknown to the people and perhaps even to the rulers.

The influence of those dark alien puppeteers has resulted in all declarations of war and all decisions regarding economies and resources of the world. Their secondary aim is increasing the control and wealth of Earth’s leaders, whose greed for power makes them eager puppets, thus today you have a world with unprecedented concentration of vast riches, impoverished nations, willful environmental destruction and corruption oozing out of corporate connections with governments.

The ultimate aim of the puppeteers is annihilation of your planet. That will NOT happen, but beneficial changes for all require a change in the character of your world’s leaders. Voices must be raised with demands for leaders of spiritual integrity—that kind of character is exemplified, not merely proclaimed. I don’t mean that no leaders ever have been strong in virtues or that no voices ever have been raised to protest injustice and inequities—indeed there have been those individuals. Many of those brave souls suffered or died for that, and much of their good works has been undone by succeeding generations who blindly followed self-serving leaders.

Now, the collective will of the people is rising to expose and oppose this situation. As lies are exposed, more lies are being told, and those will be exposed too. Tyrannical regimes must and shall change. Although plans are afoot for this peaceful revolution through a joint effort between your civilization and many of your space family, that does not absolve any of you who desire a finer, brighter world from the responsibility of helping to create it. You all chose to be where you are at this time precisely so you could do exactly that! Actually, some of you embodied in other lifetimes as great leaders on Earth and well beyond, and you are back now to take on similar inspirational and constructive roles.

It is on three levels that you must act so that honorable governing bodies will be achieved. The first level is spiritual, and I’ll tell you what spiritual is NOT: It is not membership in any of the multitude of your religions. It is not the self-righteousness that is evident in great abundance. It is not escaping into a head-in-the-sand “prayer life.” It is not believing that neither good nor evil exists because those are only judgments. It is not accepting that everything is in divine order and will run its course without your participation. It is not refraining from seeing what is going on in your world because you’ve been told it’s all an illusion anyway. I am not saying that there is no truth in any of that; what I’m saying is that spirituality is not an inherent aspect of any.

The spiritual level on which you will change your leaders from being darkly-ruled themselves to people worthy of being leaders—true leaders with spiritual integrity—is within your hearts. That’s your usual depiction of where love resides, is it not? Actually, the sensation of love is a province of the soul, but it has strong physical effects at the heart that instantly spread throughout your entirety to uplift you in spirit, mind and body.

Love starts with self, with living so that loving self is as natural as breathing. Only then can you give and receive love. Love is contagious, unlimited, omnipresent. It is what changes bleakness of spirit into fullness of spirit, illness into health, lack into prosperity. It is the absence of love that breeds all the woes of your world, and it is filling the void with love that will cure the woes. This is not asking you to love what brings misery and deprivation and harm! It is asking you to simply feel love so you can send forth that energy—it will seek its way to the void.

The second level is mental—deeply thinking to discern what is truth and what isn’t instead of buying into what candidates say. The catch is, what information is truthful and what is not? What sources can be trusted? You have been deceived for eons by a few souls in one generation after another after another whose intent is to retain the control over you, so access to the truth is not easily come by. How can I put this so it is not a series of Don’ts? Always I prefer to be positive in statements, and I’ve already compromised that by my explaining what being spiritual isn’t.

Very well, I know how to proceed—think of what you want in your world. If that is peace and harmony and cooperation, that’s where to focus your thoughts. What will bring that to the world? Think of what will: Respect and dignity for all races and faiths and genders; help wherever help is needed; equitable sharing of Earth’s massive riches; cures of all diseases; education, fulfilling work and comfortable homes for everyone; honesty, kindness, compassion, fairness, harmony, sharing, justness, forgiveness.

Think of all those qualities and circumstances and let your heart and conscience guide you to the candidates you most closely identify with them. The words of campaign promises are worthless without a candidate’s heart and soul in them. Let your heart and soul, not just your eyes and ears, lead you to the persons who exemplify the love and light that’s needed to uplift your world.

The third level is action. If you want leaders whom you trust and respect, work toward that end. Publicly and financially support the people you want in office, but if that isn’t possible, then put forth your intention through the power of your energy focused on those persons actually holding the positions—I can’t emphasize too strongly the power of intent! You can be sure that the current people in power will have their supporters actively working because those folks get the trickle-down largesse in exchange. You who want love, peace and harmony will receive those incomparably greater victories in exchange for the energy you put forth to create them.

Thank you, Mother, and now we return to our statement that you are feeling what is happening more so than seeing it. No one is immune to the effects of the highest vibrations that bodies ever have had to adjust to. This is all to the benefit of everyone who is absorbing light—their cells are transitioning from carbon structure to crystalline, and if uncomfortable physical, emotional or mental sensations are adjustment-related, they will pass.

The most unsettling effect may be momentary memory loss. Perhaps you can’t remember the name of someone you know well or a specific word eludes you. When you walk out of a room or get into your car, you forget where you intended to go and why. Or maybe, once you are in the grocery store, you can’t think of the item you went there buy. If you are experiencing those or similar kinds of lapses, dear ones, please do not fret about it!

Mother, please copy what our friend from a highly advanced civilization said about this memory situation. Readers may appreciate hearing from another source the same information that we would give.

[Saminten’s explanation during one of our conversations in 2003 is in the chapter by that name in Illuminations for a New Era.]

You decry the loss of time that seems to be zipping by and another loss you lament is memory. Neither of these aspects of third dimensional awareness is being lost, dear ones. “Time” never has been as you devised it with 24 hours each day and 12 months in a year and so forth. This has served you well, but no longer is this happening. Your time structure is collapsing as energy is moving at its lighter density speed, and your periods of light and dark are coming with more velocity. So rather than time being lost, it is speeding up.

The memories that many of you speak of as “gone,” are not. With the acceleration of everything within the universe, it is natural that the cells of your body are reacting to being lifted into a higher survival mode. Most of all, this is affecting your brains—the computers that turn on your thinking and reasoning processes—and this is necessary! The light being absorbed by your cells is allowing your brains to slough the layers of forgetfulness and programming that have denied them full functioning ability.

If you are not experiencing any memory loss or a sense of scattered thinking, then you are stuck in the third density that not much longer will be the status of Earth’s being. So it is desirable for you to feel not quite firmly in touch with the reality of the day or the environment.

Thank you, Mother. The prevailing vibrations also are changing physical needs, and along with expanding your conscious and spiritual awareness, accommodating your bodies’ requirements is of paramount importance.

Sufficient sleep is essential—give your body the rejuvenation time it needs to perform well. Drinking a lot of pure water also is essential—it helps to eliminate the toxins you absorb through your polluted environment and adulterated foods, and it helps to keep bodies’ electrical systems working properly. Exercise in accordance with physical ability aids in those respects too, and it helps circulatory and respiratory systems to behave smoothly.

If you aren’t as hungry as you used to be, that’s good—the more light in a body, the less food it needs. Eat wisely. Fresh fruits and vegetables, foods that contain the most light, will hasten crystalline cellular growth and boost energy levels. Cut back on dairy products—they do not contain the nutritional value that is claimed and they clog circulatory systems.

If you aren’t ready to eliminate meat and seafood from the menu, reduce the quantity—most food animals live and die in horrible conditions and the energy of their traumas is passed on to consumers. Please understand that this is meant only to enlighten you and in no way is it intended as criticism of non-vegetarians!

Contrary to your expression “sugar high,” digesting processed sugars lowers energy levels. Choose whole grain cereals and breads, and if you have no allergies to nuts, almonds and walnuts are the best choices. All well and good if chocolate, coffee and tea cravers are having no ill effects from caffeine; however, if you are having digestive problems, caffeine may be a contributor. Drinking red wine in moderate amount can enhance the blood stream—this suggestion does not apply to persons who have drinking problems!—and sodas are not good for anyone.

Those are general diet guidelines for a typically healthy person, but the bottom line is, pay attention to your body—it will tell you what it needs for optimum operation. In blessing your food, asking that it serve your highest good and feeling grateful for the plants and animals that provided it adds light to whatever you are eating—doing that silently is as effective as audibly.

During this stage of adjusting to lighter energy, mood swings and phases of inertia or unusual nervousness are natural, and drugs prescribed to relieve those conditions instead exacerbate them. If you are taking medications for other health issues, talk with your caregiver about dosage reduction.

Even better, ask if remedies with natural ingredients can offer the same measure of treatment. The proliferation of chemicals in drugs and engineered food interferes with bodies’ self-healing mechanisms and other natural processes, and that makes it difficult to maintain balance. Find out if fatigue and other distress may be due to an imbalance in hormone levels or body chemistry—if so, learn which natural supplements can treat the condition.

We cannot emphasize too strongly the importance of balance! The universe is in a constant balancing act and so is every life form within it; however, for the long ages that darkness enshrouded Earth, the planet and her residents were severely deprived of the light that attaining balance requires. If you think of the balancing act as an internal teeter-totter that is perpetually moving in accordance with your condition in body, mind and spirit, you can see that the optimal motion is gentle rocking.

Meditation is especially helpful in maintaining or regaining that motion, and there are ways other than sitting in silence or listening to lovely sounds composed especially for achieving a relaxing meditative state. Spend time out in Nature, enjoy the companionship of animals, read poetry. Listen to your favorite music—unless it’s heavy metal, which shatters balance, and the tones of classical compositions are the most effective in restoring balance. Make time for solitude—even a brief period can be restorative.

Laughter is good for the soul and so is anything that evokes feelings of tranquility. In leisure time, choose lighthearted reading and the same quality of TV programs and movies. Spend time with dear friends and family. When it isn’t possible to avoid unpleasant encounters, envisioning light permeating the situation will help to alleviate stressfulness. Give thanks for blessings in your life—gratitude, like hope and optimism, is filled with light.

The prevailing vibrations also are intensifying energetic differences and many individuals are feeling a strong desire to make a major change. Perhaps look for a different job, end a relationship or start one, pursue a new field of studies, relocate to an area you know or maybe a place you know of but never have visited. We are not speaking about rashly acting upon an impulse, but rather heeding a growing sense of urgency to act upon an idea that has been simmering—this is the soul speaking increasingly loudly to the consciousness:This is what you chose in your soul contract.

Why are we offering guidance that we have mentioned, albeit more briefly, in previous messages or is available in any number of down-to-earth sources? We are telling you, our beloved Earth family: Please take care of yourselves!

The energy streamers that will be swirling with increasing forcefulness are prime opportunities to absorb light, and the sounder you are physically, mentally and emotionally, the more greatly you will benefit. You chose this lifetime so you could participate in your world’s transformation and spiritual renewal, and soul evolvement is the purpose of every lifetime—both require balance in body, mind and spirit. Letting mundane matters interfere with self-care or ignoring your soul’s messages causes imbalance and that dims your light, the light you need to experience what you chose and to evolve!

Dear ones, love yourselves as much as we love you, and take care of yourselves!

Heavenletter #4606 What Do You Know?, July 5, 2013

God said:

Even when you say or do something that you wish you had not, even when you have done something that you and everyone takes for granted is better not to do, what occurred had to have served a purpose for you and others. There has to be something somewhere that befell that came with a purpose, whether you see it or not. How could this be? How could there be any sense to what certainly appears senseless, even random.

At the same time, beloveds, do not take an unseen purpose as an excuse.

If you are driving your car, and you innocently hit a tree, you are responsible. If you are driving your car and innocently hit another car, you are responsible. If you are driving your car and you innocently run over someone, you are responsible. That you meant to do it or not is not the issue.

You might argue with Me. You might say: “What if I were driving along carefully beneath the speed limit. I wasn’t drinking, and I wasn’t distracted, and a car hit me? I’m responsible?”

Of course, I see what you mean, and, yes, another holds responsibility for his part. Whether he was momentarily distracted or speeding or whatever, no matter how much of an accident, as it used to be said in war, you were there at the right place at the wrong time or the wrong place at the right time.

Of course, you have also had auspicious moments when you were in the right place at the right time, and something wonderful happened. Perhaps you were discovered by a movie producer, and you became a movie star. It happened to you. Was that an accident?

It could be said that every meeting is an accident of fate, or it could be said that there are no accidents. Can it also be said perhaps that even a deliberate act could still be an accident? An accident of fate?

Why would anyone ever want to willingly be enmeshed in anything unpleasant?

When there is peace in the world, there will be peace, and intrusions on that peace will be far and wide.

When there is enough peace in the world, when what may be seen as misfortune occurs, misfortune does not have to be taken in the tumultuous ways misfortune presently is. When a heart is in peace, it does not so easily break.

Broken-heartedness is not the scale to weigh caring on. That one suffers more than another may mean only that, that one suffers more than another. It can be an assumption that one cares more than another. A conclusion is drawn. Conclusions are not always true.

Who can measure the degree of anyone’s commitment from the outside? You may think that everyone feels to the same degree you do. Everyone may say that pain is pain. Everyone may say everyone knows what another feels. And, yet, beloveds, how do you know this? In terms of the world, how do you know this? Reasons for suffering may be considered the same, and, yet, who knows what another’s experience may or may not be? How do you know that another’s experience is like yours or anyone else’s or to the same degree?

Life may be packaged the same, yet who knows all the answers? There is much to learn on Earth, and all answers are not the same. One Truth does not officiate on Earth. Truth on Earth paints different pictures. You may do well to not claim that you know all the answers. You can only know the answers you hold at any given moment. Absolute Truth isn’t obvious on Earth.

Message from God to You this Independence Day

Posted: 04 Jul 2013 11:02 AM PDT

Dear Ones:

I am here today to tell you that I will set everyone free from the shackles that have bound you far too long. These documents of yours setting your country and countrymen free are bogus if you do not follow those dictates within your own heart. You have suffered a long time by not adhering to the dictates upon which this country has been founded.

Look upon your Declaration of Independence more closely and hear the cries for freedom behind them. Feel what was within the hearts of these men that fought so hard for the rights within which you have the freedom to operate at this time.

Look more closely at yourselves and see how well you are adhering to what was put upon you and was given to you so long ago.

You have freedom and independence. Are you exercising them? Are you truly free? Are you living by what this country was founded? I think not.

You are not free. Not really. You are free at essence. I have given you freedom. But, you are entrapped by ideals long past that no longer serve you.

Live the freedom you were meant to experience in this country. Really be free. Stop succumbing to the powers that be who rule you with an iron fist trying to control you.

Who are you? You are all my children; my creation. I did not create one person to rule another.

I am here to tell you at this time on this day, that each one of you on this planet and in this universe are to be set free. You are to live free. You are to be free from tyranny. You are to be free from self affliction. You are to be free from abuse of self as well as abuse of and from others. You are to be free to live a life of joy and freedom.

You all have the freedom to be rich beyond your imagination.

It is the shackles of your mind that hold you hostage to old and outmoded ideals that keep you imprisoned at this time. You were born to be free. You were created to be free.

There has been no time in history where I created man to be imprisoned. That was of man’s doing. Man continues to hold man imprisoned imposing their ideals on others. It is not to be so. You are all free. I gave you free will. I did not give you free will to impose your will upon another. That is not to be so.

What is to be so is that you, each one of you, are to be free.

You are free to serve me or not, free to love me or not, free to love one another or not, free to do the work you are gifted to do or not. I can go on but, I believe, you have the point here. You are free to be, do and have what you want.

The problem lies in that so many of you have wanted what you wanted when you wanted it that you have taken advantage of others. You impose your wants and desires upon others and make them pay for that which you prefer to have in your life to make it easier on you. You don’t have to live that way.

I will give all to all as you deserve it. What you don’t believe is that you deserve it and that I will give it to you. You also don’t believe there is enough to go around so you take from others their time, their money, their good nature...all to serve your needs because you come from a belief in lack of deservedness and a belief that lack exists at all.

Let me elaborate on some truths for you this day that will set you far more free than your Declaration of Independence seems to have done for you thus far and it is as follows:

You are free.

There is more time and money and resources than imaginable.

No one is meant to suffer.

I love you all - each of you bar none.

I am here to serve you and your needs if you A. Ask and B. If you can receive.

Your problem does not lie in the asking. You are asking me all day long to take away your suffering. Believe me, I hear all your prayers and cries for help. I do not deny you the solution as many of you think. Those dynamics for receiving my help lie with you. You block my help so often you would be amazed.

I, this day, would like to form a partnership with you to begin helping you heal from that which blocks you from accepting all that I have to give to you. I have plenty to give to you. You can’t even imagine what I have to give to you because your imagination is far too limited.

If you lift those limited beliefs from you, the sky is the limit. And, believe me, from where I sit, the sky is pretty big! And, that is another thing. Please stop limiting your beliefs as to what you think and believe that I am or that I am to you. Yes, I do have a sense of humor. And, it isn’t always at your expense while I watch you run around doing this and that thinking that it will make a difference when it really doesn’t.

Do you know what makes a difference? Sitting still for a change. Being yourself for a change. Just being! Can you try that on for a change? Can you try just being you - the you you were meant to be rather than the one based on the ideals society has put upon you. Now that would be true freedom, wouldn’t it? Freedom to be who you really are, express your own individual beauty and grace out into the world without fear of persecution or fear of losing love or money.

That is what is holding you hostage. Your fears are what are holding you hostage. You fear that if you are true to your own nature, you will lose the love and respect of others. You value their opinion of you over your own opinion of you. So you enslave yourself to the ideals of others to win their approval and acceptance so you can stay safe and feel loved and supported. Now, that is the illusion.

No one is truly safe unless they are free of fear and your fear runs so deep it imprisons you from being you. It also imprisons you from knowing me, your creator, the one who loves you unconditionally. I love you no matter what you have ever done wrong, even when what you have done goes against my soul.

Trust me when I say this. I live within your very heart. I am within your very essence. I am you. You are an expression of me as I created you and all that exists. Therefore, each time you harm yourself or another, you are also harming me. As you hurt, I hurt. As you feel, I feel.

The more joy you feel, the happier I am. The more pain you feel, the more unhappy I am. There is no separation between us unless you intentionally turn away from me and ignore all that I can provide to you.

I can give you so much.

I can give you love beyond all understanding.

I can give you support beyond the imaginable.

I can give you feedback from a place of all knowing rather than the limited perspective you receive when asking others.

I can give you all that you ask in your hearts and more.

You limit yourself. You have freedom to choose me this day and allow me into your hearts and embrace you and love you like you have never felt love before. You have that option. You always have that option.

That is my prayer today. I pray that you open your heart to me and allow me in to embrace you, love you and give to you. Please allow me to take away your suffering. I can if you truly allow me to. I can and I promise I will.

The day will come when you will find freedom both within your heart as well as in your land. This will become your promised land, and I shall deliver it to you should you wish to welcome it by welcoming me into your heart.

Blessings

Peace Peace Peace
