Rivers of Light

RipplesThere are very powerful rivers of light flowing through your reality at this time. That means that they are flowing through you, through your consciousness too.  But you have a choice about how you respond.  You can choose to open to this light or you can resist it.  Either way brings its challenges.  Going against the flow can be hard work; go with it and you can feel as if you are being swept away.

In a sense, that is exactly what is happening when you accept the gifts the light brings and go with its flow. The ‘you’ you have imagined yourself to be is being swept away.  But then that old you is less than you truly are; it was a useful fabrication constructed in times of need.

What is swept away is solely what you no longer require; a kind of spring cleaning is taking place. As you experience this spring cleaning it can be useful to ask of yourself each time an old attitude or belief comes up, “How much do I need that, how true is that for me now?” You may find that surprisingly few of them are required on this voyage.

The underlying purpose of these rivers of light is to bring you joy.  That’s why they bring old attitudes up to the surface of humanity’s consciousness. Many of these attitudes were forged in desperate moments; you needed them to defend yourselves from peril. But those perils are in truth long past. Now the light comes to free you, like the sun coming out and encouraging to take off your overcoat.

It is natural that sometimes you might feel inclined to believe in peril, for that justifies many of your old fears to you.  Don’t be harsh in judging those who seem fixated on living in fear; that is their reality.  Don’t be harsh either to the parts of you that hold on to fear.  Be, both for yourself and others, like the sun that shines benignly on all, showing by example that your overcoat of protection and defence can be taken off.  Let yourself expand into these rivers of light.  They are there for you to play in.

Give yourself permission to find you are both other and more than who you have taken yourself to be.  Recognise that you are fully capable of being a source of peace in the world.  From within your own being comes peace and you can learn to live that peace every day.

More and more these rivers of light bring you understanding of yourself as Divine Presence, as your soul taking on human form. As you embrace this light and find trust in its miraculous powers of transformation, you can come to know yourself as an aspect of the light itself. You can know yourself as a timeless being for whom your personal history is just one way amongst many in which you may choose to understand yourself.

Begin the New Year easily. See if you can allow the light that is entering your world to bring you gifts. Be open to what these gifts might be.  They may not be what you expect at all, but nevertheless say to yourself, “I welcome the gifts the Universe has for me, and I trust myself to use them wisely and well.”

How Can You Tell What Is True?

Sun above cloudsYou are a natural touchstone for the truth. You have the potential to know always what is true, and yet often you can find yourself uncertain. “Is this person telling me the truth or not? Is this statement or idea about the world true or not?” you ask yourselves.

It may help to begin by assuring yourself that everything tells you some truth about existence; within every statement is some kind of truth.  By this, I mean that every connection you make with the world brings an experience, and through that experience you may come to know more of yourself and the world. When you find yourself questioning the truth of something, perhaps you might instead ask of yourself, “What truth is this revealing to me?”  You might find, for example, that your uncertainty is showing you a subject of which you are ignorant, and you can truly say, “I know that this is an area I have not yet studied.”

It may help to release the need to be certain, to allow yourself to be more comfortable with uncertainty.  For example you might say to yourself, “Every area of uncertainty is an area in which there is room for me to grow.” Uncertainty can become a source of pleasure, rather than disquiet. “This is an area I shall enjoy discovering more about,” you might say.

Above all, recognise that every time you ask, “Is this true or not?” you are asking of yourself, “What is the truth of my being?” You are largely unknown to yourselves, lands to be discovered.  Let this be a source of joy to you.  Know that what is to be found by you is infinite beauty, that this is the truth of your being. As you make this journey of discovery, more and more is revealed to you and it becomes easier to know the truth of the world in which you live and of those with whom you share this world.

All that you as humanity have used to hide the truth from yourselves or each other has been no more than an attempt to protect the infinite beauty of your being. Sometimes that beauty has felt so impossibly great that you have experienced your protections and deceptions as guilt and shame.

At this time the light of truth is flooding into your reality.  Much that has been hidden is being revealed, and will continue to be.  When the light of truth reveals what you or others have sought to hide, let yourself know that now more of humanity’s true beauty can be seen.  The more you are able to see yourself and all others as beautiful beings who do the best they can, the more easily the light of truth fulfils its purpose of opening the eyes of humanity to the absolute truth of your beauty.

Playbox

• Invite the light of truth to bathe your being.

• Imagine it reveals great beauty.

• Allow this beauty be mysterious to you.

• Let yourself know that you do not need to understand the mystery to know its truth.

Be Content

Pink LotusLet’s begin at the beginning of this lifetime.  Probably the first time you felt contentment was in your mother’s womb.  You were warm, safe and well-fed – and growing. How might you translate those early feelings of contentment into your life today?

Contentment comes from your relationships, both internally with yourself and externally with the world. In the womb your mother represented most of the world for you, and gave you a perfect way of transferring from the realms of spirit into this world.  Floating within a sea of amniotic fluid was initially a little like the experience of unity with your soul, floating in a sea of universal love.  As you grew you adjusted and grew accustomed to physical reality.

Simple things like your mother moving taught you much about how this world works.  Her particular actions as she interacted with the world guided you from being part of a universal flow to being part of this particular world. You felt her emotions and thoughts as well. These helped you to define the world and to develop strategies, even within the womb, for how you would deal with it.  You were moving from a state with a high degree of oneness to a world of action and reaction.

In a world of oneness there is a natural sense of being in the flow or, more truly, being part of the flow.  In this world being in that sense of flow is a skill you began to develop in the womb. You found it in those times of contentment – full, safe, happy and growing.  You can find now too.  Your skills have continued to develop, so that even if life seems far more complicated and demanding than your time in the womb, you have also developed the skills to match.

In every moment you can find that sense of being in the flow that is your chief source of contentment.  If the particular details of this moment threaten to take you out of the flow, expand your sense of connection to a larger world.  Automatically the things you were finding difficulty become smaller and more manageable in the larger context you have given them.  If you feel out of the flow because you are ill-at-ease with yourself, look with clarity and compassion at your own unease. Think of your unease as ripples in that universal sea of love from which you came and which, truly, you are still part of.

Permit the Universe to provide for you as a mother.  Think of the Universe as a kind of womb filled with a nourishing amniotic fluid within which you are growing, and from which, in every moment, you are emerging into a new world.  For the sense that you are growing or becoming is also a vital part of what brings you contentment.

Playbox

• Imagine yourself as floating, supported and nourished in this Universe.

• Imagine the Universe being like a mother who is proud and happy to be giving birth to you.

• Let yourself relax and grow in this sense of being always and unconditionally loved.

• Feel the sense of being born into new wonders in each moment.

What is Heaven?

Feathers

We speak to you of heaven.  You speak of heaven yourselves, as when you might say of a beautiful experience, “Oh! It was heaven!”  But what do we all mean by this word?

We suggest there are two key qualities or states required to bring you the experience of heaven.  These we will call connection and alignment.  When these qualities are present, no matter what the outward appearance, you can be in heaven.

Connection simply means your connection with the other consciousnesses who make up the Universe.  For most of you connections with other people will be foremost, but you connect with many other consciousnesses also, for all of your Universe is conscious to some degree, including things such as stones or even humanmade objects such as machines.

Connection might be thought of as having three phases: giving, receiving and being. These need to be in balance for you to be comfortable.  If you give too much, you become drained.  If you receive too much, you become overwhelmed.  And you also need time of stillness within connection, where you are neither giving or receiving, or at least have no focus upon it.  You can liken connection to breathing. When you breathe out, you are giving to the Universe; when you breathe in, you are receiving from it; and there is also an important time, however brief, between the inflow and outflow of breath, when you are still.

By alignment is meant your alignment with Divine Will or the Source of All.  The greater your sense of alignment, the greater your sense of inner peace and harmony, and the easier it is to experience heaven.

Alignment also can be likened to an aspect of your body.  It relates to physical alignment, whether that is the alignment of your spine or the proper functioning of the body’s many systems.  It can be understood in terms of balance too, so that even if your health is not perfect or your body feels misaligned in some way, you can still find a sense of balance within those limits.

Balance gives you a clue to the nature of alignment with Divine Will. While Divine Will may be eternal, your response to it is changing moment by moment. Aligning with Divine Will is much less like being an engine driver on a fixed track and much more like being a sailor.  As a sailor you adjust constantly to variations in wind and current.  Just as a good sailor asks, “How can I get the most right now out of this wind and current?” so you can become increasingly observant of the moment by moment changes in your life and ask, “How can I find the greatest sense of alignment in this moment?”

Joy is an excellent measure of alignment.  When you experience joy you are feeling your connection with the Source of All.  Joy arises in each moment from your sense of alignment.  It is not dependent on your circumstances, but, like the sailor responding to wind and current, on how you meet those circumstances.

Both of these states, connection and alignment, tend towards oneness.  Heaven is made of other qualities too, but oneness creates its foundation.

Playbox

• Give yourself time to be, letting your thoughts settle and your breathing relax.

• Begin to notice two aspects of having a body: your breathing and your sense of physical alignment.

• Notice how these might be linked to an inner sense of connection with the Universe and alignment with Divine Will.

• What might you release to help you feel a greater sense of connection and alignment?

• What might you invite in to create a greater sense of connection and alignment?

• Notice how you have the capacity to move into greater harmony with your body, with the Universe and with the Source of All.

More about Peace

You are a creator of peace. This is a very valuable gift.Pink Lotus

One reason all of you have chosen to incarnate on Earth at this time is to develop this gift. You have chosen a reality in which there is a certain amount of turbulence and you discover this turbulence in the world around you and within yourself also. This gives you plenty of opportunities to develop your gift.

Therefore when you find turbulence within or around you, recognise it as an opportunity to develop an already highly developed skill.  You have cast yourself into a world you find unpredictable; it presents you with surprises, twists and turns in the path. That helps you to be in the moment, to respond to the surprise, rather than to something you’d already planned for.  You become like tightrope walkers, finding your balance anew in each moment, and this helps you to feel fully alive.

Sometimes it can be useful to forget whether turbulence is coming from inside or outside yourself and to treat it simply as a change in energy that you can respond to in any way you please.  You can add or subtract energy from any situation to create peace, no matter what the energy might be like to start with.  This adding or subtracting of energy is not just a matter of arithmetic, of more or less, but a highly creative process. In this process you are more like an artist, choosing the perfect colour to balance a painting or a musician choosing the perfect note to create a harmony.

Sometimes it might be as if you are a cook presented with a selection of unusual ingredients and you ask of yourself, ‘How I can make a delicious meal out of these?’ When you let your creative imagination free, you will often find that you can indeed create something beautiful and perhaps surprise yourself at the same time.  You live in a time when energies around you are more fluid than they have been for a long time.  Perhaps sometimes that can feel a little unsettling, but it also means that change is easier to accomplish.  And if you are willing to surprise yourself, even more change is possible than you may have believed.

Playbox

• Think back to a recent situation when you felt taken out of your sense of peace.

• In your imagination, and giving yourself freedom to be creative, explore how you might create peace out of all that made up that situation.

• Acknowledge your creativity and let go of the situation.

Be Yourself

‘Be yourself’, they say.

Sometimes you might wonder, ‘How can I be myself, when I’m not sure who I am?’

When you live in a time with so much opportunity for spiritual growth as you do now, sometimes you might find yourself feeling a little like an adolescent, changing by the day, not quite sure of what you might do or say next.  If so, well done!

Not knowing who you are is a very empowering place to be.  It’s a place where you can begin to move beyond old boundaries and definitions. As you grow up you fashioned an idea of yourself out of the materials that came to hand – the ideas others suggested to you, the way they treated you, your own interpretations of the world and so on.  All of that was useful to you.  It formed the vehicle that brought you out of the past into the present. But now you are here, you don’t need that vehicle -  or at least it’s worth looking over to see what parts may still be helpful to you.  It’s a time for recycling.

What this means in practice is that it can be very helpful to you to notice as many of the assumptions you have made about yourself and about the world as you can and ask yourself this simple question, ‘Is this true for me now?’  Let the question sink deep within and allow your answer to rise from deep within.  Feel free to create new truths for yourself, based on your truest sense of yourself and the world right now, and feel free to allow these new truths to change in turn.

Above feel free to surprise yourself. Of course, sometimes that might mean you find yourself surprising other people too!  You’ve watched a child or young animal discovering something new.  Their capacity for surprise, even astonishment, is beautiful to see. Grant that gift to yourself.  Sometimes you might like to play at being completely new to the world, looking at each thing you encounter as if you’d never seen it before.

The capacity to see even yourself as totally new and unknown can be profoundly liberating.  So next time someone says to you, ‘Just be yourself’, revel in not knowing what that might mean.

Playbox

• As you go through the day, say to yourself from time to time, ‘I am life”.

• Notice how this feels and what happens within.

Your Body as a Flower

Sunflower

Why might you choose to be a physical being? The freedom from harm and pain you know as spirit sometimes makes some of you doubt the wisdom of your choice.  But suppose that to become physical, to take on the collection of atoms that give you your presence on the earth plane, is a very different choice from the one it seems to be.

Imagine yourself as a flower living within the light of the Sun. As a flower you drink in light.  You turn towards the source of that light.  The sunlight develops the sweetness of nectar within you, that ensures you are fertilised and fruitful in your life. How is this to be interpreted? I offer two ways: one for your spirit, one for your body.

The Sun is your greater consciousness or Oversoul or Monad. Its light bathes and envelops you.  Its purpose is to draw the deep sweetness of your being to the surface where it may nourish those who seek it.  The fire of the Sun brings you into flower, to a full expression of your beauty.  The flower of your being mirrors the Sun; you become within the compass of a single life the Sun embodied. Those who sip your nectar, who are touched by the sweetness of your being, also bring you fulfillment.  Through them you bear fruit; you leave behind you forms and flows of energy that are your response to the light of the Sun. Others take those forms, the gifts you have given, and become flowers with them. Over eons the flowers become the Sun and the Sun flowers.

Your body is a flower and, like one of those flowerheads made up of many smaller flowers, so is every atom in your body.  Each atom is made of light holding a pattern of frequencies.  You come as spirit to bring new light to these atoms. You are the Sun. Your light brings the sweetness within every atom into a fuller expression.  You enable each atom to flower, to reveal its full beauty. Each atom turns to you as a flower turns to the Sun. From your heart emerges the love that fertilises the flower of each atom and in return it gives you the nectar of joy.  Your physical body is tuned for the frequency of bliss. Bliss has been held back by an absence of light, as the nectar within a flower is held back by the frost. Now your inner light is emerging from behind the clouds. It releases bliss from within the frequency patterns of each atom.

Playbox

• Imagine yourself being within the light of the Sun, so that rather than coming from one direction its light comes from all around.

• Imagine the pores of your skin being able to breathe this light in.

• Let yourself absorb this solar light like a sponge.

• Is there any part of you that feels cold or deprived of light? Let this part or parts gently warm in the light.

• Continue to absorb this light until you feel ready to begin radiating light yourself.

• Explore how you might simultaneously absorb and radiate light, like a flower absorbing sunlight and giving off perfume.

The Role of Metatron

You may wonder about angels. Their presence is beautiful but their purpose may be mysterious to you. Beauty and mystery are an attractive combination. They draw you onwards, and this is part of the angels’ purpose. They attract you as you might imagine the Sun attracts plants to reach upwards to its warmth and light. As they grow they express more fully the beauty of their being. So it is with you and the angels; they attract you to a fuller expression of your own beauty.

Metatron’s light

At this time I am working closely with the angelic presence Metatron, You might imagine Metatron as a limitless ocean of light, sparkling in response to the love of the Source of All. He holds in consciousness these ever-changing patterns and harmonies of sparkling light, and slows them down for you to become aware of, to learn and to embody. These patterns of light can be thought of as templates for a new way of being.

You and Metatron

The gifts that Metatron offers are ways for you to know yourself anew, as if each point of light you might find within yourself reveals a thousand possibilities for joy.  We might use an analogy: imagine yourself having been given a beautiful cup; and now imagine yourself being given a lump of clay, and being told, ‘You can make whatever you like’.  The cup has been a source joy, refreshing body and spirit, but now, and this is perhaps more challenging at first, you are invited to know yourself as the creator.

A city of light

Whatever it is you choose to create with those new gifts you accept, we are calling a city of light. For a city of light is simply a full expression of your potential for joy as you reach out and connect with the Universe around you. It is what you create out of your joy. It is a state of being in which you are able to know yourself as a divine presence loved by the Source of All and living in creative harmony with all life.

The gifts of Metatron

All the gifts that Metatron has for you already exist in your heart.  Like the acorn that becomes the oak, you respond to the warmth of love and the steadiness of the light Metatron offers you – and the mystery. The oak grows into the light to express its wonder at the mystery, and so do you.

Fulfilling Your Potential

Six Suggestions

You have very great potential – all of you.  Now is a wonderful time for realising more of this potential.  It is yours to convert into reality.  So how do you do this?  How do you take a dream and make it real?  Here are six suggestions.

Begin a little

Energy changes from potential to real through action – your action.  Others may join in later, but the start has to come from you.

Be clear

Know what you want.  Take time to become clear on this; parts of you may want one thing, other parts something else altogether.  Find a vision that all of you is drawn too, or at least as much of you as possible.  Imagine and think of it as clearly as possible.

See the bigger picture

No matter what you are bringing into reality, it fits into the Universe that ís already here.  How does your vision fit?  Feel how your potential not only has a place in the world, but helps the world as well.

Ask for help

There is always help available when what you are doing is aligned with the higher purpose of the Universe.  Welcome help into your life.  You don’t have to do it all yourself.  Give thanks for help before it comes.

Give thanks

Thanks and gratitude open the doors between the world of potential and the world of reality.  You could think of it like this: when you are grateful for the reality you already have, energy that is still in its potential form feels welcomed and enters reality more easily.

Enjoy

Enjoy all the potential that you have brought into reality already.  Enjoy your gifts and talents.  Enjoy the skills you have mastered and are mastering.  Enjoy your physical body and the gifts it brings you. Enjoy the beauty of this world.  Enjoy the love you give and receive.

Making Peace

It is easy to assume that in your world peace is simply the absence of something: turbulence, distress or war.  Or perhaps, even, that peace suggests an absence of life – ‘may you rest in peace’ you say for those who have died.

I suggest that peace is not an absence, but a presence.  It is something positive that you can and do create, a state of harmony that you contribute to with your thoughts, your words, your actions, your feelings, your love, your light and your joy.

Peace is not a fixed thing, a single note.  Rather, while it may be serenity – a moment of still joyfulness – it may equally be a time of laughter, playfulness or exuberance.  It may be a time of intense and measured creativity or a time of relaxed free-flowing expansiveness. It is whatever brings you most deeply and perfectly into alignment with the flow of the Universe at that moment;  whatever gives you the fullest expression of your Divine Essence.

Learn to observe and sense the energies about and within you at any moment and notice your ability to find and focus on those energies that most contribute to an overall experience of peacefulness. Recognise that all the time, in every moment of your life you are adding to or taking away from the peace of the world.

But if you find you are detracting from the peace; that is, moving away from it in some way, be at peace with that!  What you recognise and acknowledghe you can more easily change.  See yourself, perhaps, like a sailor who’s been blown off course.  Who knows what wonders you may discover? When you are ready, reset the compass, trim the sails and adjust the tiller, thankful for all you have learnt.

In other words, know that you are an energy presence in a sea of oneness, that you make a difference to the oneness and the oneness is glad of the difference you make.

Playbox: Making peace by being peace

• Pause and notice the feel of the space around you.

• Let your awareness expand outwards as far as you please, sensing more and more of the different qualities of energy that make up your world.

• Notice the many different kinds of feeling and the different qualities of energy that make up the being that you are.

• Now sense or imagine yourself as a presence of light in a world of light.

• Observe how your light interacts with this world of light.

• Notice how you can play with your light to enhance your own experience and to add to the beauty of the world.  Notice the feelings that come as you do this.

• Ask yourself how you might express those feelings in the outer world and notice the answers that come.
