There is only joy here

There is only joy here.  Can you feel it?  Can you let that seep into your veins of creativity and build a new and vibrant heart that feeds your dreams?  Oh if you can, then we will have something to discuss! 

I have not stopped dancing.  I will take each of you and give you etheric blisters if I must.  There is only one way to the heart of God, my beloveds, and it is through joy; simple, simple joy.

I send you a blessing for this new year of life, that we go hand in hand, and that you ask me to help.  Have I ever mentioned that I never fail?

Eternally, I AM Shams

My beloveds, for each of you experiencing human life

My beloveds, for each of you experiencing human life there are bands of light cascading all around and above you.  You might call them blessings.  For each soul that seeks the heart opening are these waves of light available.  This light is the welcoming from the in-dwelling soul to God everywhere.  It draws to it and welcomes the new and immaculate light frequencies of change, separation from fear and the remembrance of enlightenment. 

For the soul that seeks a kinder and more compassionate path these bands or waves of light act as gentle integration of the energies of purification and cleansing that rain down upon every shadow in your world.  Every soul is capable of creating the soft and gentle radiance of welcome, yet not every soul, perhaps very few, will partake of this gift and hence will feel the overwhelming enormity that emanates from these lights of change and purification.

As a race you cannot come to the Beloved bearing the blood and scars that fear, anger, greed and manipulation brand each soul holding fast to pain and suffering.  It is time to be big again.  Responsibility is rife on the winds of change.  View not your life as a series of weaknesses and mistakes.  Everything has a purpose.  All things occur in the divine balance of life.

The inner light of welcome is yours to have, to hold, to wield.  Make use of it.  No one stands alone against the storm.  The angels surround each and every one of you, if you will let them.  Great, loving and powerful gods and goddesses work ceaselessly on your behalf; believe it or not.  Not a single soul will be left behind, but not a single soul can shun the responsibility of making a choice. 

Life is perfect; you need not go out and fix a thing because nothing is broken.  At this time of whirling conflict retreat to the nest of your life and give thanks for all that you have.  We suggest you do not want for more.  Enter the new year in the gentle throes of grace, with the warm winds of gratitude at your back pushing you gently but surely into the vibrancy of love and spirit that is the rest of your life.

Rumi

The truth is that thou art the Christ

The truth is that thou art the Christ.  It is only gender perfect and you always are what you aspire to be.  What life on earth is about is shedding and purging and losing the layers of what would keep the light from your recognition.  You already are the Christ, and now you aspire to be the risen Christ. 

The risen Christ is the perfected you, the I AM.  And here is the key to the door, what is it you truly want?  What did the Master Jesus truly want?  He wanted the truth.  He wanted to understand the truth that he sought; he wanted to understand that it does not matter, he or she. 

The goddess/God of light, the Supreme Being does not care about gender.  The Supreme Being cares about you, the soul.  And the soul can be either and all.  And don’t fool yourself.  No one has been just female upon earth on all of their incarnations, and no one has been simply male throughout their time on earth.  You’ve been both so you could understand both sides of this third-dimensional coin, so you could see life from the oppressor and the oppressed, from the beloved and the loved.  The Master said just a very short time ago that what you experience on earth, the reason that you return time and time again to earth is to enjoy your hobbies.  What a unique way to see life.  And if you don’t like the hobby you’re experiencing you can change it, but most people don’t.  Most people are so limited in their scope and their ability to see beyond their own egoic cell, their prison, that they keep repeating the same hobby, or something akin to it, over and over again.

Simply put, that’s karma.  When you’re done with understanding why you do something or why something has been manifesting in your life it’s time to move on.  This runs the whole gamut on earth of: when it’s time, it’s time.  That means in relationship, that means in your job or career; that means in the things that are hobbies.  It’s simply time to move on and experience something, perhaps richer, or more apropos to who you truly are.  The soul is always, always hungry for experience and for knowledge and for something different, just like the Goddess is! Cut from the same celestial cloth, you might say. 

And so all of this conglomerate, as it rolls down the hill of life picks up speed and sometimes you notice you’re not going quite as quickly as you might, and that’s because there is something that is holding on.  Something hasn’t been let go of, jettisoned, hasn’t been forgiven.  This is what you’ve been doing, everyone is discerning what is worth holding on to.  You could say, love is worth holding on to, but you don’t have to hold on to what you are, you simply are love.  As that seed/truth comes forward and bears its truth to you, everything that is love is a part of your true inner reality, your soul scape, if you will, and everything else isn’t; it is simply part of a hobby, part of an old way.

Attaining a state of Christ, a state of consciousness which is truly Christ, is the most beautiful thing.  And every bit as magnificent and majestic is staying there.  It’s something you can attain this incarnation, that’s why you’re here, that’s why we are here.  You can break through at any moment, in a single thought if you’re not concerned with, or worried about, or afraid of, fearful of letting go of all of your attachments, and that is the Buddha mind.  It is the mind that so magnificently focused on the truth that the truth became the way.

And there is what is called the alignment.  The alignment is every single moment making the choice to stay in the state of Christ.  That may sound archaic but it’s not because what you are doing is you are defeating what is left of the ego personality by making a choice to see life from a higher echelon, from a peak that every few even know exist.  And it makes everything peaceful.  You see in peace, you feel in peace, you exude peace, you practice peace.  Christ does not know chaos.  Christ does not know diversion or distraction.  The risen Christ in you will look at these things and will feel compassion.   What a beautiful thing.

When I died and the Master cometh upon me

When I died and the Master cometh upon me she said, “What do you want to do, Shams?”
“I want a hobby,” I said.
“That’s interesting, Shams.”
“Why?”
“Because life is a hobby.  The life that you just led, that humans lead is just a hobby.”
“What do you mean?”
“People enjoy camels, people enjoy horses.  People enjoy cooking, people enjoy hammering copper, people enjoy making jewelry.”
“Yes?”
“People enjoy reincarnating.”
“Really?”
“Why wouldn’t they?  Because they get to play.”
“But, Beloved Star, the people I saw, these people weren’t happy.”
“Well, unhappiness is a hobby.  Isn’t fear a hobby?  Isn’t anger a hobby?  Isn’t hate a hobby?  Everything on Earth is a hobby.”
“What was Rumi?”
“Rumi was the one object beside myself that you truly let yourself love.”

Eventually everything becomes what it must

Eventually everything becomes what it must.  Patience is not a curse, patience is a stream, is a flow of preparation.  Patience is an expanded, almost liquid magnet that draws to it the pieces of creation; that is to say, every and all things that we, as creators, can accept in our consciousness, in our present state of thinking.

To be impatient is to grab, is to reach into the void, not once but consistently, and return empty handed.  Impatience is also a repelling force.  It keeps that which we desire a step or two beyond our manifestation.  God, God within us, knows beyond our mortal mind when it is best that we should receive.  The mortal mind, ego/personality, seeks incessantly instant gratification.  That is why complete and utter surrender is the only cure for walking a spiritual path. 

If I walk in the light, the only shadows that exist are within me.  Once again, your race believes that walking in such a light is an external occurrence.  Quite the contrary; to walk the belighted path, the light will be not only before us but behind us.  That is to say, as we walk from our center into an uncertain world, we will feel the warmth, the radiant truth that emanates from our great within.

Whatever your wish for manifestations, be not impatient.  The beloved Creator’s capacity for giving is unlimited.  Break the chains of limitation and your life will be showered with the stars that are your dreams.  You need not venture far and wide; you need not go on extended journeys.  You need but love the journey within and express that outwardly to the world.

Rumi

What is energy?

What is energy?  Energy in its simplest, purest form is the radiance of God.  God is so multi-everything that there is indeed an endless, boundless supply and differentiation of energy.  It is neither good nor bad; it is rather the servant of the soul who would wield it.  Once again, that brings everything back to responsibility. 

 

Thought is energy.  Thought imbued with emotion evokes, molds, sculpts and utilizes energy to create matter.  Matter is not solid; it is the harmonious and peaceful coexistence of certain energies.  Even the most solid of matter bears a fluidity.  We as the divine light possess immeasurable energy.  We are individualized yet we are the source.  But the source, likewise, is everywhere present.  There is no place where the light, the energy of God is not.  That is why even in our darkest despair God is closer than our breath.  We are the creation of the most prevalent, yet unique energy which we call love.

 

When we create of love, it need not mean that we love the creation.  It means simply that at some level of consciousness we devoted enough concentrated thought energy to bring something from the etheric into the world of matter.  We are in every sense creators because every single thought contains the spark of power needed to bring forth manifestation.  So we, as a race, must be very conscious and aware of this great gift of power, lest we suffer the consequences of thoughts directed towards less than loving ideals.  But being human we seem to have to learn the hard way.  On the bright side, what is done can be undone and recreated.  The only catch here is that it takes some self-examination and a bit of hard work, something that not everybody is prepared to do.

 

Well, I’m going to speak of something a little more joyous, exciting perhaps.  And that is paying attention to the things that we really love.  How important is that?  Just incredibly!  These are the things that soul remembers when soul crosses the threshold into heaven.  We look back and examine our pain and suffering, our hard works and say “Thank you, hard lessons that taught me well.”  But when the soul turns to the page of its own experiences of love, it is the simple things that read like the finest poetry and evoke tears of joy that conjure visions of “I really did that!  That’s me!”  And then that part of us, somewhere way deep inside of us says, “No, Shams, that’s us!”

Shams of Tabriz



It is important not to judge

It is important not to judge.  We’ve spoken of this before.  What another soul chooses, my children, is none of your business, is none of my business.  It is between that soul and that soul’s affair with God.  I am not preaching to you; I never do!

But I am suggesting that life is so much easier to let people be.  Let people be whoever they wish to be and live, anyway they choose.  When they ask for help it becomes our choice.  Once again we return to the power of thought.  Would you or I be responsible for another’s thought, for their perceptions of life, for the choices they make, for the roads they walk?  We have our hands full making our own choices, and the God-power that thought evokes is better spent other places, like living a joyful life, like seeking the good in everything.

Champions may acknowledge the opportunity of defeat, but they focus and use their God-power on the victory of love, which brings us to the big picture, again, the big picture.  What do you see?  Where are you in the big picture?  If you do not see it, it cannot serve you.  Every harp plays its own tune; whether there exists dissonance or not is unimportant.  The greatest significance is compassion; the power of listening is much greater than the power of attempting to rush in to solve something.  The new teachers encourage the individual to heal, to recognize, to bring forth their own Christ-love healing.

We would like to believe we all want the best.  Be careful about creating darkness in the guise of knowing what is best for.  So we must be responsible and truly examine what we feel is the best.  The best for me is to be joyful and happy, yet that may be lifetimes different than what one soul has come here to learn.  Extending unconditional love is its own reward, is its own healing balm, is all it needs to be.

There is a mercy in detachment.  A space is created wherein miracles might occur.  Diligence pays off, my beloveds.  We all eventually climb the mountain and every heart makes that last leap, and eventually we all see the fire that burns so bravely in the darkness.  It makes life a lot easier.  I almost sounded serious!

Shams of Tabriz

Why don’t we speak about love for a minute, maybe longer?

Why don’t we speak about love for a minute, maybe longer?  Love is an energy.  Love is God sending forth herself to be utilized, molded, shaped and made manifest.  Love is the spark, is the source of all creation, great and small, humble, meek and grandiose. 

Love as thought goes forward and fills the niche with what we would call manifestation.  Humanity feels love.  It becomes an emotion.  Though the most prevalent and sacred energy any world has known, your world, your human race misunderstands love, interprets love in many strange and eclectic ways. 

Think of this a moment, can you really love anyone at all times when you are so much alike?  By that I mean when you are so filled with fear, when you are lost from wandering, when you worship icons who live as the ego personality.  It is most difficult to love anyone under such circumstances of need and greed. 

Of your free will it is your right to do just that, to qualify love any way that you wish.  But in its simplest form love is but the sigh one feels when one enters right livelihood, when out of compassion and kindness one soul is of service, is available to another.

True love is unconditional, meaning no conditions, no strings attached, no hidden agendas, nothing but the simple love of sharing love.  Love breathes joy and happiness, love is not acquainted with pain and suffering.  In the most holy sense I love Shams, I love you. 

Rumi

There is a warmth in thanksgiving

There is a warmth in thanksgiving, as if sitting by a sweet fire, contemplating peace and listening to the night sky, feeling the love of stars and moon and forest and earth.  I am here now in the midst of such beauty and the way of true loving light is revealed to me.  I walk with masters and beneath my feet the love Gaya, Mother Earth, blesses my every breath.  Freedom to love, to create, to express, to sow and reap, the freedom that pure living provides.  Could I want for more?
In my heart of hearts I bless all of life everywhere.  I give the deepest, most poignant and profound thanks for the opportunity, the blessing called life.  May you give thanks so heroically, so completely, so unashamedly.   -White Eagle

I give a sea of thanks for bearing witness to God in loving action, for the chance to express what cannot be put into words.  My entire existence was I a simple wayfarer who put key in lock and hid myself from distraction and diversion to, in every single word, give thanks, simple thanks and savor the gratitude that followed.  Thank you, Shams.  Thank you, God.  Thank you, mercy.  Thank you, life, simple and rich and forgiving.  Perhaps like me, do you live a life in the eternal thanksgiving.   -Rumi

Born of love, when I accepted love and called her the best of friends, and when I reached out to the destitute, the forlorn and the fragile, I shared all of the love I am all of the time I was Jesus.  I give eternal thanks for doing so, for the radiant guiding light that loved me beyond eternity and fear.  I bless you all that you might share your thanksgiving completely, unconditionally, passionately with your sisters and brothers, with those in need, those in pain, and those who are loving you in return.  Bless you all.  - Jesus

In the spirit of thanksgiving hug me, hug everyone you can.  Praise, sing, rejoice, for you have the chance to change it all, the way you think, the way you behave, even the way you love.  You don’t have to be limited by tradition because as the Master said, you are the way, and eventually the way always leads back to love.  Give me a thanksgiving hug and I’ll dance with you, and I will hug you in return.  That is a true thanksgiving.  What do you say?   -Shams of Tabriz

You are the sun that has risen above the tallest of mountains.  And from you glistens, radiates and flows the power, the love unconditional and eternal to bless.  I stand beside your courage.  I look upon your bravery, your integrity, your creativity, your kindness, compassionate mercy, and before the Supreme Being do I give thanks for thee.   -Archangel Michael

What are angels?

What are angels?  When I laid my body down a pair of angels helped to lift me up until the awe of crossing was forgotten.  Angels are living lights of the almighty God.  Angels are the compassionate, kind, loving nature of God.  Angels evolve as we do.  They live not just in dreams or imagination but, as you might say, for real.

We might mistake a breath of warm wind on a cold day as a bit of luck, when truly it is the embrace of an angel.  Angels whisper constantly the song of inspiration, the symphony of courage and bravery, of indelible light blazing into the darkness. 

Why do I speak of my beloved friends, of angels?  You sing forth to God of something you seek with all of your heart and soul, and so God sends you in the name of love the angelic host.  I behold great and strong angels helping you to move through the stagnation of fear and judgment and distrust perpetuated by those who can see no further than the end of their need and greed.  Recognize them, children.  They work ceaselessly on your behalf.
Rumi

When we throw ourselves into the future

When we throw ourselves into the future, when we become the uncertain hunter of that which God has already provided us, it is then we experience what many call the cosmic joke.  The truth is we possess all of the ingredients to manifest a perfect creation, thank you very much!  But we worry. 

 

If you could see what worry does, you would not feed it so often.  Worry closes off the God force, life force, the flow of life.  Worry limits our perspective, worry blurs our vision.  Worry chokes our creativity.  So why do we do that?  Believe it or not because it brings us comfort.  Expecting a worst-case scenario covers all of the bases, or so we think.  But think about it: putting energy towards creating a worst-case scenario creates a worst-case scenario.

 

We are such powerful gods and goddesses that even burdened with a body we can overcome all appearances contrary to love.  That is called ascending the realm of illusion.  Every ascended being, ascended master, if you will, has done just that.  They do not so much believe as they wholeheartedly, unequivocally know.  This knowingness is not only a radiant magnet that attracts goodness, love and prosperity, but it is also a magic that is called the grace of God.

Do not want for any good thing.  Go to your great within and accept your demonstration and manifestation of that which you seek.  And then forget about it.  Why enslave yourself behind the bars of worry when freedom reigns all around and about you?  Eventually we will all overcome the darkness that seems to pervade the world.  We as a race are entering into a new grace, a much higher frequency of light, of love, if you will.  It is worthless to worship the trappings of the world, but if you must, you must.  If nothing else, it is a good lesson.  But eventually you will enter the realms of your great within and despite your attention to the contrary, you will always be welcomed and embraced as a long-lost best friend.

Listen to your inner voice; it will save you a lot of headaches.  Go out on a limb if you must, but know in your heart of hearts that God is the tree on which that limb grows.  Change is unavoidable.  It is the true magic of life, but do not despair.  Letting go of attachments only puts us more securely in the unconditional flow of life, of God.

Be loved,

Shams of Tabriz

Like oil afloat on water allow your anger to surface

Like oil afloat on water allow your anger to surface, wholly and completely.  Notice.  Pay attention.  Feel into the subtle change, the emptiness, into the opaque abyss whence it comes.  Practice.  Make a decision.  Attempt to release it, once and for all and for certain, barring the door behind its disturbing wake.  It is a brave, conscious choice to do so, a healthy choice, in all manifestations, manner, shapes and forms.

Quiet your vision.  Drift into peace.  Be patient, acquitting the newfound spaciousness with simple, gentle love.  You are re-creating life anew.  The choices available are unlimited.  Be not quick nor hurried to decide, yet you must, with forthright determination, own what is yours.  Explore, journey, interchange, experience, be courageous, responsible, kind to yourself, forgiving, respectful, true to your visions, unyielding in your intent.

Beloved, fear not change, the merciful purifier.  Practice love and understanding.  Remember, beloved, everyone everywhere is attempting to do the very same thing, in their own manner, space and time.

White Eagle

I am not your Lord

I am not your Lord.  Thou art indeed no less nor greater than I am, Michael, your brother, friend, confidant, and in many instances, your protector.  Never have you walked precariousness alone. Your unconditional love and opened heart invite and allow me the privilege to better serve God.

Injustices perpetuated upon love and her creations must cease! I serve only love, beloved one.  I stand for, defend, enact and administer swift defense for every kind and loving soul suffering the evil consequences of fear, indeed, to all those who would ask and pray for guidance and assistance.  In God’s image, name and likeness, am I invincible, unvanquishable and victorious wherever the radiant sword of truth be wielded.

Never have I “fought the devil.”  Beloved, there is no such a thing, no “devil” to conquer, save for our own aberrations and qualifications of fear.  The “devil” exists and thrives in group-thought fear, in like-group mind, and in energies that create, match and adhere to the concept of evil.  I am come again and again to purge your world of EVIL (Energies Violating Innocent Love) in every manner, shape and form. 

Our angelic hierarchy will no longer tolerate ignorance as an excuse.  There is no excuse.  Be forewarned.  I feel no remorse at obliterating the antithesis of love.  The evolution of humankind enters a stage of soul-purification, a cleansing and preparation of deep and great proportions.  It would be wise to take stock, examine your fears, your needs as soul-being-human and your habitual choices.  Be still and take the time it takes.  Is life unkind or perhaps your perception of life?  Every soul is offered the choice of love or fear.  Enter the sanctity of your heart with courage.  I will raise thee, should you fall. 

Archangel Michael

We would speak of forgiveness

We would speak of forgiveness.  We do not judge, nor label nor wish for retribution.  The soul entombed by ego-personality is very capable of that.  We would turn you to your thoughts, as thoughts are prayers, a magnetism that draws and attracts a likeness to itself.  The frustration of humanness. 

Why live a human life at all?  Why indeed?  The eternal quest for experience brings us many places, to many realities, through many truths, trials, and tribulations.  The soul’s efforts at rising above bodily entrapment are priceless examples of experience, timber for the fires of evolution into at-one-ness.  We must leave you to your own devices once a choice has been enacted.  Yet, try we do to teach a kinder way.

You ask, is there a kinder, more compassionate way?  Yes, beloved.  Forgiveness.  Humanity is mistake-prone by its very nature and design.  The limitations imposed on the human race exclude no one.  All life forms are subject to the same strict laws.  Why?  Because we are all one, eternally and forever.  Judgments and criticism and humiliation constrict the growth of the originator and begin a multitude of self-destructive, self-created acts of inverted love.  We cannot penetrate an aura polluted by such a frequency, and the recipient of such sees only itself in others, in all life everywhere.

Do you wish yourself so blind and love emaciated?  What went before, what has passed, has passed.  Let go the reins of shame and forgive.  None be blamed.  To thine own self be true.  Accept responsibility.  Examine your choices.  Own your experiences, and seek the strength, courage and guidance that precede change.  Love thyself, enough to forgive, make heartfelt amendments and seek the kinder way. 

The light of the Beloved illumines all with forgiveness.  It is the soul that never forgets, so oft by guilt, shame or the illness that locks it into the karmic cycle of reincarnation.  Forgiveness is a major emotional body release, wrenching from soul the veil that disguises true self-love and unconditional love for one and all.  Any act of forgiveness invites the Grace of God deeper into one’s life.  The loving art of forgiveness brings the courageous soul closer to the rapture we would call Heaven.

What we see is the amalgam of thought

What we see is the amalgam of thought imprinting upon the essence of love, that which is everywhere present, abundant and unlimited.  We see the tearing of the etheric fabric and the wound created therefrom.  This is so, and rife in your world.  Thundering frequencies created by unloving thoughts and bolstered by actions of anger and domination ravage the natural states of peace, harmony and quietude, leaving gaping holes and tears in their wake.

These concentrated lower frequencies travel far and devastate much of an etheric landscape before, by their very intense and weighted nature, they collapse and fall to Earth.  What is Earth to do with such toxicity, such plagues of hate?  As you or I would do, eventually, beloved, purge, purify and cleanse herself.  Such is what the human race has created, by your own devices, your own free will.  And so great catastrophes wrack your humble world and droves of souls lay down the body to reconnoiter, reflect and re-examine their choices. 

Sweet Earth is the realm of beauty suffering the growing pains of humanity.  She lives and breathes and evolves as all of life does.  She has endured more pain and suffering than is imaginable.  She is the living Goddess of Patience.  Yet be not fooled.  All of life is change.  And so must the patient evolve into the highest good.  Beloved, Earth’s days of highest good have arrived.  The sea of change inundates those anchored in resistance.  Naught but vessels of love weather the storm.  Be so advised.
Divine Mother

Where am I going? To the sea…

Where am I going?  To the sea… where the endless is forever, where to lose one’s self is to be found.  Where, beloved, am I headed?  Into the adventure of God; to the pregnant mystery of surrender; to the birth of love, unimaginable, indescribable, weightless as the purest breath of dawn.

How will I get there?  Diligent ritual, free flowing tears, and a craft of knowingness, buoyant beyond comprehension, captained and crewed by your God/Goddesshood Christ, your immaculate beloved and merciful Angels.

Where is my love?  Where is not my love?  Listen.  She calls in song, of life, of patience, of blessed and ordained embraces soon to come.  Steer your course straight and bless the wind, the wave and rain as co-conspirators of inner-strength, inner-awareness, flames that temper the soul to an invincibility that attains great heights.  And all is as should it be in your divine awakening.  Be so blessed! 

Divine Mother

Ordained it is that those who seek shall find

Ordained it is that those who seek shall find.  Your earthly life is rife with hints, suggestions and new perspectives.  A falling leaf, a scavenging crow, a book from a shelf tumbling, a phrase overheard, a monumental sunrise, the silence of a stone.  Trusting in the at-one-ness of all is living life on all levels of consciousness. 

Heaven is the consciousness of love unconditional.  Indeed, consciousness is borne not only of earth, but is everywhere present, multi-dimensional, ever evolving and expanding, as is God, always and forever.  Expand your vision and seek that which eludes the masses: simple joy.

Rumi

Might we mention the art of simplicity

Might we mention the art of simplicity, that state of consciousness unclothed by human need.  The closer to God we come the less we need, the less we desire, the more the wellspring of sharing, compassion, kindness and service flows into our life unimpeded, increased and multiplied.  There is no illness in wanting.  The use of our God-flow creative energy towards manifesting our many needs is, in a sense, a buffer between the realms of Spirit, simplicity and at-one-ness.  Our primal urge to be “unique,” to exemplify and broadcast our individuality and “uniqueness” is what continually separates us from the glory of perceiving the love of spirit in the eyes of every soul we encounter, in all creatures, great and small.  Simplicity grows from an inner awareness, is exuded from an inner-knowingness, an inner peace and poise.  I have everything, right here and now!

The descent into earth life is rife with distraction.  The greatest being our apparent severance with love and the continual focus of life-creating force towards endeavors promoting other-than simple love, kindness, compassion and prosperity for one and all.  The richness of life is everywhere present, all around and about us.  As our life-creating force is directed towards manifesting external demonstrations of what we perceive as love, we dilute our abilities to channel the heaven realms into heaven on earth.  We constantly create and worship monuments of drama along our earthly path, calling each a necessity, a necessity of life, another step towards “success.”  Each soul must at some stage of evolution and remembrance enter the inner quietude and examine the inventories of need.

Does the need to perpetuate the separateness of individuality supersede our love for God?  These are the days, the life and times when each soul is asked to choose.  Everything in your present time is an indicator of choice.  Simplify.  Every soul, through all eternity lives in a world of love and a universe of choices.  Do my choices bring me closer to God, closer to love?  A consciousness of simplicity is a secret garden free from the weeds of desire, wherein the tender fruits of love might grow unhindered by, and protected from the frosts of the drama of need.

The absence of simplicity accrues complication.  The presence of complication breeds material need.  Materialism is the anchor to the world.  We speak to you of simplicity, as this is the millennium of non-attachment, the flow homeward of Spirit by awakening the Heart of God within each soul.  The key to such an awakening is simplicity.
White Eagle

The separation between heaven and earth

The separation between heaven and earth is reflected on water filled with sky.  What you in human existence label a veil is but a blindness, ever curable.  What is the big picture?  Is it heaven after physical death?  Striving for love?  Cleansing of karma? 

The ultimate truth of the matter, Beloved, is the simple realization at all times that we are not what we seem, what we appear to be.  We are the light that created us, the substance of which pure Spirit is made.  We wander through the amnesia world groping for security, bumping into fear and need with every uncertain twist and turn.  Do you not remember that your death is the gentle journey inward?  To “die” is to “dye,” to color the human egoic experience opaque, to leave the world without, collapsing inward to the unlimited. 

We have willingly chosen human existence to augment our many and varied experiences over time.  We live many places, at many times.  Worthy and ever so capable of miracles we are, and yet we struggle through the constraints of dogma.  What a life!

Shams of Tabriz

You must not force your way into heaven

You must not force your way into heaven.  It is absurd to believe that by pushing you will gain deeper entrance, greater insight and freedom.  It is every moment, every thought, every choice to practice peace that opens wide the gates of heaven.

Do not struggle so.  Remember there is a river, and it is called life.  Some drown, some swim, very few walk upon, and fewer still become.  It is necessary to peel away the bark that one might achieve the heartwood.  In a very real sense we die from this process.  But we are born again and anew.  Few tasks at their inception are of ease.  But once one learns the parameters, the ins and outs, such a task becomes rote. 

Beloved, you are learning to let go of the glue that connects and imprisons you to the past.  Oh, we know it isn't easy.  If you cannot conquer what came before, how can you embrace that which will be?  It is all so intense, but it needs to be.  You would not relinquish your ties unless you were reminded that each must be cut and set free, and in so doing so are you. 

I delight in your commitment and I have a poem for you:

When I touch your face
A thousand stars, sands of heaven,
Befriend me.
And your breathing becomes the water of my tears.
Am I separate?

Between wanting is the God that is giving.
And I peer into your prayer,
My face the celestial sun,
And what remains longs for your embrace.
So small yet so needy.
And all I can do
Is taste the smile
On your lips,
So sweet.

If you are so concerned about creating something in the world

If you are so concerned about creating something in the world, why not create yourself as who you really are?  Why not make your personal growth your life?  Because everything else comes from the wings, and it comes as entertainment.  This is the biggest play you'll ever know, and you are the star, and you are the director, and you are the femme fatale, and you are the misguided hero, all in one, until you tire of the game. 
 

There are many that are tiring of the game, and what they want is truth.  Do not concern yourself with fear or worry, concern yourself with living as the God you are.  Do not believe in yourself; know yourself.  Know yourself, know God.  Know your power.  You must be responsible.  You must live in the moment.  Somehow you must find the strength inside of you to live in the eternal moment, because the waves of distraction will rock you to and fro, and it takes a God to right your ship. 

Have the confidence, despite your past, to know that you are fine just the way you are, that without you, God weeps.  You'll live life differently and life will be your best friend.  I tell you true: love thyself, forgive, get on with getting on.  Follow the light, follow your heart.  Forgive and become who you are.  It is the most joyous flower in the universe.  You are so beautiful.  Your immensity is legend.  It is the purest beauty God has every created.  Know that about yourself, and you'll know that about others, and the great respect of one soul for another will change your world. 

With deep love,

Divine Mother

There are fields aplenty

There are fields aplenty where lie buried the bodies and minds of great souls who never quite achieved their potential, realized their dreams, or never gave themselves the chance.  Beloved, life, this experience called life affords everyone the opportunity to succeed.  Life is blameless.  The mountains smothered for eons under blankets of icy snow do not complain.  The tree deprived of water suffers without complaint, the parched desert sands blame not the scorching sun.  Each living soul bears its burden with a noble grace and quiet strength the human animal could well learn from. 

Flow as wind across waves, as summer breeze over flowered fields.  Meet resistance with a humble resolve to love greater still.  Diffuse a potential turbulent situation with loving surrender, maintaining a balance of inner peace and self-knowing.  The choice to make a choice is yours. 

Dive deep into the feeling that urges you one direction or another.  Demand of God crystal-clear guidance and the silent strength of stones; the Master delights in the conviction and willingness to act.  Or listen devoutly until the inner voice quietly commands action.  Use the strength that is your divine heritage.  Unlock the chamber of darkness and despair and embrace the hands that reach for you.  The days have come to trim the fat off blame, to file through the bars of illusion and behold the fragrance of a new day borne.
