What is the journey, my children?

What is the journey, my children? Is it overcoming what you have attracted to yourself or is it forging a new way despite the past? 

Remember this: you do not live in a cage or a box. Your power, when you focus, is drawn from the heart that is the original heart.  And from this heart flows the light of love to all of life, as light, as love, as forgiveness. 

Do you think that one iota of this love would be withheld from you because of a mistake or weakness, because of your apparent past while being human? Think again. 

Where do we go from here? We make a decision.  I will help. We start life all over again.  It begins on a foundation of forgiveness, of emancipation, of simple self-love. 

Beloved teacher, I hear you think, How can I let go of my past when I define so much of my present and future from that past?  Simple, you have no future. You have your decision of who you are right now.  And your past, it lies alone. 

Let go of your karma. Bring it to God. It will not go far. The light calls into your hearts; allow it to reside there. Be still. Be here. Right now.

Buddha

It is the want of humanity to explore outer space

It is the want of humanity to explore outer space, but there is the infiniteness of marvelous worlds right within each of us.  Man and woman are constantly searching externally, perhaps because it does not hurt so much when compared to the inner journeys that bring us to landscapes of shame and guilt.  If we were to lay the life down this very moment, step back from it and take a good neutral and unbiased look, what pollution we would behold!

From the time we are born, we become infected with the world.  Ideas, thoughts, belief systems that are not our own and yet we believe they are, and so we live a life that way.  We might see, looking at the cadaver of our past, great ranges, mountains and hills of regret and almosts, and great valleys, gorges and chasms of if-onlys.

Perhaps it is not such a bad idea to take a good, honest look.  We do not wear garments that are torn and thread-bare unless we must.  Why do we every day awaken to wearing the same old tired life?  Dare I say that it is an act of convenience, of settling and most-likely surrendering to the world.

You need not go into space, cold and barren, when you might stand next to the warmth of your inner flame.  Be creative.  Journey within.  Love what you do on Earth, love it deeply because it is the food upon the golden tray that you serve to God, and God will taste.  You need not be the way you were if it no longer serves you.  Practice love, loving yourself first, forgiving yourself, and let go of the sheath that weighs you down and keeps you wondering in the mists of Earth.

I leave you with love,

Rumi

Were I to say to you, I place myself in your hands, I know not what to do

Were I to say to you, I place myself in your hands, I know not what to do.  I hurt, I am lonely, destitute, despondent.  I've lost my way.  Were I to place myself in your hands, how would you receive me?  Then receive yourselves the same way.  Let no appearance less than love convince you otherwise. 

Buddha

If we have a plan, it sings of simplicity

If we have a plan, it sings of simplicity.  Love yourself and eventually you will learn to love others.  It is the way.  Because the true self is the highest, purest, clearest form of love, does it not make sense to start there?

Forgive your mistakes.  These things are simple.  You need not complicate life.  Stay in your heart and God will stay in your life.

I leave you with these words,
Mataji

We all question what we cannot see

We all question what we cannot see, which is why perhaps it is important to be in touch with how we feel.  Whether you were born of Earth or landed from some other place means that you are in no way separate from God.

Who are we that love you, offer you comfort and sometimes guidance?  We are souls that constantly, incessantly, heartfully did not cease from reaching for God, from diving within, becoming not only the drop but the entire ocean.  Keep reaching, beloveds.  Little in your world will make sense these next months perhaps, but as Shams says, it does not mean you cannot have a good time.  That is why it is so important to care for and love yourselves enough to do what you love.

Oh, the eternal question, what is love?  We have all experienced what love is not.  Perhaps that is the place to begin to answer such a question.  To understand love look to the sun, become that sun, rise into that sun and know that it is the pathway to the cosmic Christ. 

You can feel love if you are secure enough in overcoming your pain and suffering.  We can all ask question, but do we all love?  I believe we try and we must be conscious of the need to befriend what is less than Christ, what is less than love.

Go to God, never doubt that there is such a being.  There is.  You will know love when you know, grow and accept the God within you.  No matter what befalls your planet, your race, God will always bear you up and raise you into her embrace.  Remember, look to the sun, the answers you seek are there.  Ask permission and enter.  It is where we live.  And the truth is, you live there also.

Rumi

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
