DEDICATION

This work and potential book is dedicated to my soul-mate/twin flame, wherever she may be...

When Shall I See You?

When shall I see you again clothed in Light?
My heart still searches for that long ago night
When love enfolded us, two became one.
And passions of lifetimes, like a million suns
Swept us upward in rapturous joy
As on wings made of stars such the Angels employ.
When shall I find my soul’s other part,
The union once more of our spirit and heart?
In time and space may we find rest,
Knowing our togetherness by God has been blessed.
Come to me now, for we both know the way.
This is our moment. Let this be the day!

GRATITUDE

I want to thank God and the whole of the Angelic realm, and the Ascended Masters for their part in this book. Every person, seen and unseen, who has come into my life has been my teacher. Contrary to what many others believe about their spiritual guides and teachers, I have always felt that my highest guides and teachers were not in physical bodies. They are unseen by our present eyes, at least for most. Gabriel has helped me to understand and know that the greatest teacher is within. It is simply my Self.
I especially want to thank the Gabriel who I feel has been the inspiration behind much of the music and poetry I have written, and for coming into my life at a time when I was very confused and did not know what my life was all about. The expansion of consciousness for myself, and many others who have participated in bringing these teachings to life, has continued to be a real joy while being a great challenge at the same time. Applying the messages I have received has not always been easy, in fact rarely. It has tested me at every turn in the road to be more loving and self-responsible no matter what the appearances or requirements.
But I would not change one single second of it, because my life has taken all of my life to be where I am and who I am. And I am pleased with it, no matter what another may think. I am not always right, nor always wrong, but I am always ME! As Gabriel once told me, “John, you’re a banana. And all the apples you’ve been trying to be like think you’re a rotten apple. And they're right - you are - you're a rotten apple. But you're a damn good banana. So quit trying to be an apple, and just be a banana.” Thank you Gabriel for loving me just as I am.
Deep gratitude goes to Louise L. Hay and her part in publishing my first book, “Moments of Silence,” based on the first poetic vignettes of wisdom from Gabriel that came through in what some call automatic writing. Her courage in publishing a relative “unknown” is greatly appreciated.
I want to also thank my biological mom and dad for all the love and guidance, for all the experiences they helped me to own in their own way. I know they, like all the rest of us, did the best they knew how. And that was pretty good!

PREFACE

The Two Suns of Home

In a twilight world of mornings bright
Was a land filled with perpetual light.
When evenings rose there was no night.
Then was I born in heavenly flight
O’er seas and mountains of majestic might.

Illuminating orbs that I see
I dreamy mists of reality,
Enflame all hearts to reverie.
Abounding life you bring to me
E’er singing of your eternity.

To the West your brightest shines,
And thence to East your mate I find.
As from your palaces to remind,
Yet a child are you both in time.
Spiralling love does thus entwine

And lift my soul in tenderness
With warmth from the heart to bless,
Blissfully met in togetherness.
Back to your shores come I to rest
In arms graced by your golden tress.

Hallowed ground, I love now from far,
Thy morning and thy evening star
Fill my dreams when my mind’s ajar
With beams that never leave a mar.
So gently does your light regard

The beauty of your tuscan shores,
And emerald rains caress the moor.
Shall I ever find the door?
And returning illusions of lore
Languish the thought of never more.

No! I shall find my path to roam
Through whatever gates may come,
A way not to all, but perhaps to some.
Go I now to that I am from
By the Light of two suns of Home.

This is an unusual book. Not so much because of the subject, but because your own learning from it will take place in ways other than our normal understanding of how learning takes place. Gabriel uses what He has called the language of light, expressed in visions and feelings, and brought into sound vibrations of simple words. The words contain various aspects of truth for your exploration. The spaces between the words and the silence between the sounds contain the opportunity for much more than can be put into words. You who are reading this must have evolved to some point where you can receive Gabriel’s vibration and love through this connection. It is a book to be felt with the heart as well as read with the mind or intellect.
My experience with Gabriel has been difficult at times to accept. So many times I agonized about what and/or who was this voice in my head. Was it, is it really the Archangel Gabriel, as It says? If so, then I am most humbled and deeply grateful that such a being of Light would choose me, of all people. My life has not exactly been pure. More scarlet than white, some might say. Gabriel has told me it’s not so important who the identity is from which truth comes to us, but how we apply truth in our lives.
I have been told stories about who I really am, all which have required me to stretch in ways I never thought possible, and certainly bringing questions about my beliefs on life. Gabriel says that I, like many others, am from the star system Sirius, a two star system near the constellation of Orion, the brightest star as seen here from Earth. All my life I have felt a deep longing whenever I have looked into the night sky. It’s as if I were longing for a different more familiar time, waiting for some sign or looking for a way to return home. Sometimes I think I must be the proverbial “fish out of water.” The ways of many of humanity are so strangely without concern for consequence, much less based on love, respect, and allowing.
As to being from “somewhere else,” my own feelings about that are that it makes no real difference. Everyone is from the same soul dimension. We are all here now in this reality we call the human experience. And that means we are all the same. No one is better or less than another. We just chose different roles and different experiences for this life.
On no less than twenty five occasions I have asked, while looking up at the night sky, “Is this really the Archangel Gabriel coming through me?” Within seconds would come a bright shooting star. Then “the voice” would say, “Let this be a confirmation to you.” The last time this happened, I was living a few miles outside the city of Santa Fe, New Mexico. Before I even completed the thought or spoke the first word of the question, the shooting star appeared, I felt the energy of Gabriel’s light as a chill and tingling sensation, and then the “voice:” “Let this be the last time you need a confirmation. We are who we say we are! You need to trust and allow. This is the Archangel Gabriel and this is of the Light!” That last phrase Gabriel uses every time He (She?) speaks to me.
Then just a few days ago on Nov 30, 1994, again during one of those deep soul-searching moments of questioning and uncertainty, I saw the shooting star. Gabriel immediately came through and said,” Now even though we said we would not do this again, we hope this will be a confirmation for you. Would you like another?” I took a deep breath, heaved a great sigh, and thought it was time to really believe. Gabriel said next, “Go back inside. You will be getting a very important phone call in just a few minutes.” Sure enough, less than five minutes after coming inside, the phone rang. It was a dear friend from Canada. She proceeded to relate her getting a very strong feeling to call me. Then she spoke what had to be the answers to all my questions that I had been agonizing about that night in the first place.
If it is your desire to do so, I hope that Gabriel may now connect with you in some way. I am told that there are now more than one trillion angels around the planet for our assistance. That causes me to feel both joy and hope along with concern. Have we gone so far wrong that we are now in that much need of assistance? The next few decades may well be the last of time as we know it, or so say many of the “messengers” and prophets of this time. If that is the case, then I sincerely hope we will have the courage to make a different choice very soon. Perhaps these discourses of Gabriel will help shed some Light on other ways to create our lives here for more joy and happiness. May God and His many messengers guide you in your own choices.

INTRODUCTION

Often I Wonder

Often I wonder what life is all about.
Sometimes I cry; sometimes I could shout
For joy. And times I just sit in quiet
To consider the difference of wrong and right.
What have the Masters to say about the heart,
About love and God, and what is my part
In this magical scheme of things unseen?
What shall I become, and what have I been?
All around me seems din and chaos.
And thoughts like leaves in the wind are tossed
To and fro, only to gather in such a clutter
That trying to sort the paradox makes me shudder.

What shall become of the world we create?
Will it vanish in some cataclysmic grate
That sifts out all imperfection to find
The gold, and then leave the dross behind
To wallow eternally in its own quagmire?
Is this mankind's destiny - a fate so dire?
Are we finally to inherit the damnation
Of disease and war as our greatest creation?

Surely there must be some saving Grace
To lift our thoughts away from the place
They’ve entrenched. For without something more
Than just ourselves, I see the last door
As a one-way entrance to oblivion.
God, help us undo what we’ve thus begun!

You are about to connect to the Angelic realm in a most wonderful way. The Archangel Gabriel, along with other angels, Archangels, and Ascended Masters, will be with you during your reading this material to help you discern what is relevant and true for you. But more importantly, they will send forth Light and energy to assist you in a process of transformation. That transformation is of your own choosing and allowing. You are the authority of your life. You have free will and free choice. If you want change and transformation, then at some level, sincerely and with deep desire, be willing to do whatever is required as it is revealed by your own inner wisdom.
Many of you have been on a path of seeking truth. You have looked to books, classes and others for perspectives of understanding what was revealed to you bit by bit as you were ready. This book is about an acceleration of your growth. No matter where you, and no matter whether you think you’ve read this or heard this before, there will be an energy that comes through while you are reading, or perhaps while you are sleeping. That energy is the Light of Love. Love is drawn to its own, to that which is like itself. And the Light of Love shows up anything in people’s lives that is not loving. Your next step - to allow all that exists to be as it chooses to be.
Now if you think you are doing that, so did I before Gabriel came along. I thought I had the world figured out, and that there was nothing more to learn here. I even fantasized my death as if I were done. No way! I had not even started yet. Be careful about thinking you’re just reading words. They may seem simple. They may seem like things you have known for a long time. But Gabriel uses words in a far different way. They are His convenience for bringing in the energy of love and light. It is that Love and Light that teaches and does the work of creating transformative experiences.
There may be some of you for whom the words are in fact a stretching. They certainly have been at times for me. But no matter where you are in your own evolution, this angelic assistance is a prized opportunity that only a few have had in the past. Now we are blessed indeed to have so many Masters and Angels here who are seeking as much to be of help to us as we are looking for the help.
Gabriel provides many tools, decrees, affirmations and techniques for your benefit. Many are the Ascended Masters words, and have unique and great power as a result. Gabriel has been known to quote the words of Jesus, St. Germain, and others in bringing you what would truly be in your best interest. I have learned that it is my own consistent application of a tool or technique that really makes the biggest difference.
The Gabriel Discourses began in earnest in 1989. My first experience at channeling and bringing through Gabriel actually happened on August 28, 1987. I did not know at that time who this was. Since my initials were “JC,” and I had a good friend whose initials were “JB,” I decided at that time to call whoever or whatever “it” was simply “JD.” Many people came to know the gentle wisdom and love of JD. Not too long before these discourses were started, JD identified itself as the Archangel Gabriel. I still often use JD when talking with or about Gabriel. During a private session with a friend, she asked what name did we call Gabriel. He replied, “You can call us Archangel Gabriel, JD, or just Gabriel. Or you can call us ‘Gabby!’ After all, we are quite talkative!”
The discourses contained in this book are part of a series on empowerment. They were done with a group primarily in San Diego, but a few were done in Sedona, Arizona; Santa Fe, New Mexico; and Roanoke,Virginia. Gabriel says that the angels like to bring us good news and words of hope and upliftment. It is rare that He has had to say anything less than that. But sometimes He has been firm and almost reprimanding. He wants us to be aware of what we are creating both consciously out of choice or unconsciously from lack of knowing.
I have had many people ask me how did I prepare to do this work with Gabriel. I could say that nothing in my life prepared me for this experience, or everything prepared me. When I was very young I had many out-of-body experiences. Those helped me know that there was more to life than what I was taught, especially the religious aspect in a small town Baptist church in the South. I went to Duke University in a five year tripple major of nuclear physics, bio-chemistry and electrical engineering. After four years I was drafted and never got to complete my degree. This was during the Vietnam War era. Had I known one could file as a “consciencious objector,” I probably would have gone that route.
All my life I believed in possibilities. I thought that anything, literally anything, was possible with God. Perhaps that attitude more than all else allowed me to be open enough to do this work. Gabriel has never entered or taken over my body. He sends forth a Light ray that contains all the communication and words he wants spoken at any particular time. My part is to dissociate from the ego-intellect to connect at a higher consciousness with the energy of this Light, and bring through the communication contained therein. I am conscious during a session, but in such an elevated state that it seems like a dream. When I come to, it is rare that I can remember what I spoke. This is a learning process for me as well as all those who come to hear Gabriel’s message through me.
From the start I would do a prayer with meditation and decrees before every session, group or individual. This would sometimes take up to thirty minutes to shift my consciousness up enough to where I was in tune with this energy and thought. The decree I use before each session goes like this: “From the Lord God of my being, unto the Father within, Beloved Father, Mighty I Am Presence, come forth now and surround me in Thy invincible tube of light. Come forth into the purest, clearest and most loving connection ever with my highest guides of light, love, and truth, with the Great White Brotherhood of Light, the Ascended Masters Jesus and St. Germain, the Great Ones, and the Archangels Michael, Gabriel, Raphael, Uriel, Ariel, Muriel, and Metatron. Let that which is spoken by and through me be only of the highest of light, love and truth. Let it be relevant, valid, valued, easy to apply and understand, and specific for where they are. Let it truly help them in a grounded and practical way. Let me get my own stuff out of the way now so that I can truly render a service of the Light here. And see to it that this is part of the Ascended Masters’ Divine Plan fulfilled through the Ascended Masters Pure White Fire Love Substance from the Great Central Sun. Charge everything around us with that Victory. Charge all and bless all with the Sacred Fire. To the good of all concerned, to the Glory of God, I Am, so be it!” With that kind of assistance, what has come through me and been spoken by me has been wonderful indeed.
I intend to get as many of Gabriel’s discourses published as is possible and practical. This is the first of its kind, but I believe that almost all of them could be published and bring a higher vibration of love into the lives of all who connect with them. May you not only enjoy the words and the vibrations of love that come through them, but may you also apply what you learn in your own lives to achieve a greater experience of freedom to create what you want your life to be.
What I do and have done as far as bringing through the Gabriel discourses is only a small part of what is needed here. We all have a vital role in the unfolding evolution that is taking place now. There have been many predictions about this time in our history. Gabriel brings a message of hope and words of empowerment. We can make different choices; we can create a reality that does not need to include the disasters and calamities that have been prophesied. We can begin to understand how to take back our real power of emotion from the many circumstances to which we have given it away. Each and every one of you is important. Your thoughts and your feelings are like votes as to what the future will actually bring. I hope that the Love of the Archangels, especially that of Gabriel here expressed, will help you to a greater awareness about how to make choices for yourself that are in alignment with all the joy and happiness, health and well-being, prosperity and harmony you desire and so richly deserve. God bless.

DISCOURSE I
EMPOWERMENT THROUGH SOUND
August 8, 1992

Beloved Masters, we bring you greetings from the angelic realm and from all those seen and unseen who are here for your assistance. Tonight we bring to you the start of a most important series of topics about empowerment to help you in the coming days when the light is beaming forth stronger and stronger upon this planet. There is much you need to know and understand regarding what assistance is available to you, how to access it, and more importantly, how to apply it in your own lives for greater freedom and empowerment.
You are all God-beings. You are here because you chose the human experience as part of your soul’s evolution in experiencing all that God is. Through many lifetimes you have embarked upon the adventures in physical mass which have now brought you to this place and this time in your understanding.
From a certain perspective it could be said that you are returning home, because you have been through all the negative manifestations in mass and are now experiencing, or desiring to experience, the positive as you understand it. From our perspective, that is wonderful indeed because it allows us to render a greater service to you.
Tonight’s topic has to do with a greater understanding on your part of several aspects concerning sound, and its various forms as they relate to your evolution now. In that regard, for those of you here, and for those who may hear or read these words at a later time, while our correctness in the use of the English language may leave a lot to be desired, at least as far as those who edit grammar are concerned, we would like for you to know that there is a very important reason why we speak the way we do and choose certain word combinations that we do.
For someone who might be editing these words at a later time who does not understand this, there would be the tendency to want to make many corrections in terms of what they deem to be grammatically correct. We must demand that this not be done. The vibrations of sound that are contained in our word choices are more important than the left brain intellectual interpretations or definitions of the words themselves. The words we choose are like cups of light that carry a far more transformative energy for your benefit, and in assisting you to experience more light, love, truth, happiness, harmony and joy.
We invite you at this time to close your eyes, take a deep breath, and relax. Learn how to listen to words with your heart and feeling rather than the mind. The intellect has been one of your greatest limitations. If you look only to the words that are spoken and/or written here, then you miss more than 90% of what we want to bring to you as assistance.
To listen with your heart means for you to become quiet within, to love and value yourself enough to know that you are worth the extra time it may take you for moments of silence, and to feel the vibrations of love contained in the sounds of the words we share with you at this time.

Invocation

“Beloved Father-Mother God, All That Is, we give thanks for this gathering here and for those who will hear or read these words at a later time. We invoke Thy Great Blessings upon them as they seek to know and to hear more of the Truth that Thou art. Render unto each one an even greater desire to connect with the truth that is each one as the individuals that they are; render unto them the understanding they desire; and render unto them the blessings in Light they so richly deserve for their courage in being here at this time upon this planet as it prepares for its ascension.
Great I Am Presence in each of these Thy Children, awaken them to greater knowing and understanding. Let the words we speak this evening be cups of light for each and every one. And let the love we send forth bring joy to their hearts and souls as they seek to evolve into greater light themselves.
We give thanks also for the additional assistance being sent forth to each one this evening, and for those who will hear or read these words at a later time, yea even from the Mighty Elohim of Peace, the Elohim of Purity, and the Elohim of Love Themselves, and for all those other Great Beings of Light who participate in this unfolding. We give thanks that this is so, and so it is. So Be it!”

Now. Sound. Empowerment through sound. What do we mean by that? How can one be empowered with sound? Well, we have often been called the Archangel of Sound, of poetry, of music, the Archangel of Love and Inspiration. So we feel that we have a very good understanding as to the importance of sound and how it does in fact empower you, or disempower you when misused and misunderstood.
For example, what one of you has not felt irritation from loud, raspy or grating noises such as airplane engines, unmuffled automobiles, sirens, and the like? And conversely, when you hear beautiful music, what one of you has not been moved to a higher feeling within if you allowed it?
Of course you have free will and free choice as to what you feel, but most of you are not fully aware of that at this time. Much of what comes as a feeling, whether good or bad as you call it, has been repressed in some manner. Repressed emotion, or feelings, is an energy that eventually outpictures in your physical body, and often in the form of disease and the appearance of aging.
But we want to speak to you this day about certain specific sounds you use all the time, and what they are doing and creating in your lives, as well as to certain other principles related to this same topic. And for those of you who will be reading this at a later time, we have a special thing planned for you. If you will find yourself a place where you can read this out loud, speak the words you read, then we will better be able to bring to you the same energy that was brought to those who were in attendance when these words were spoken. That will be true for any of our words when they become printed. The sound vibrations in the words create a unique and special vibration that enhances your connection with the Angelic and Ascended Masters Octave of life.
Every word you speak is the decree of the God-being that you really are. Especially the words “I am” have a far greater significance than you realize. The Ascended Masters know that the words “I am” are the Holy Name of God, the Great Creative Command. Whatever you say “I am” to, you are unleashing the unlimited power of God within to create. If you say “I am” to a thing long enough, you become it.
Now, there are many of you who go around saying phrases like “I’m sick and tired of...” “I can’t stand...” “I don’t know,” and then you wonder why you get sick and tired, why you sometimes have accidents that affect your standing, and why you are often confused. Yet you probably never knew or realized that there was power in every word you spoke; that whenever you used the words “I am,” whatever was spoken after those words would be coming into your experience.
At this time in the evolution of this planetary system, there is an important phenomena, in a manner of speaking, that is taking place. The energy density is increasing. Since the Harmonic Convergence of 1987 there has been an almost 100 million fold increase in the energy density here. This is a result of many factors, including the population increase, more television and radio transmissions, more electric power generators, and so forth. But also, this solar system, of which this planet is a part, is moving into a space and time that is closer to the center of the galaxy where the stars and other energy sources are much closer together, most of the sources being for the most part undetectable by present technology.
Everything that you experience is created from energy, the energy of your thought empowered by your emotion. Emotion is your real power, especially the emotion or feeling of love. In the past, there was a delay mechanism called “the Grace of God” such that what you thought and felt did not manifest as experience for almost 10 years. Humanity for the most part has had little or no correlation in understanding about their thoughts becoming their reality.
Now with the increase in energy density, the time delay mechanism called the “Grace of God” is down to a matter of just a few months for most, and for many of you who are more advanced, it may be only hours or minutes. Each person is experiencing a seeming speed-up in how quickly things appear to be happening in their lives.
The manifestation into experience occurs through typically 12 levels of frequency: desire, absolute knowing, faith and trust, thought, feelings, attitudes, beliefs, intention, commitment, spoken words, and actions. Sound, the spoken word, is the last frequency of energy in the invisible before a thing (thought) becomes manifest in the visible. What you speak is often what you have been thinking and feeling for a long time. Therefore sound, your spoken word, especially in idle conversation, becomes the decree of the God-being that you are, it becomes the command for something to come forth into experience and manifestation.
When what you speak is in alignment with what you desire, envision, feel, and so forth, the manifestations can be quite extraordinary and rapid. A powerful belief can quickly create a powerful reality with the energies that are here now. So can powerful feelings, since this universe is basically a computer that clones emotion.
Doubt and skepticism can likewise delay and prevent manifestations, often especially of those things that you individually want or desire in your experience. We have seen many honest and talented, but naive, psychic individuals have the proof of their abilities thwarted by someone whose doubt was greater than the psychics belief in themselves.
It is obviously, then, very important that you begin paying attention to what you speak. We say, “Speak only what you want to experience, and only when you have its understanding.” If all of you were to cooperate with that, you would find yourselves talking a lot less. That would, from our perspective, be of great benefit to you.
It is time for you to learn more about what to speak and when to speak. Most of the time when you speak, you would be better off to remain silent. But some of you have such large alter-egos that you just love to hear the sound of your voice as if you were some kind of an authority. You are, but not in the context of what you think. There will be many who think themselves to be authorities who will soon have to be greatly humbled. This is simply the law of their own life by what they have themselves spoken which is now returning to them!
There is a sound vibration combination that has a unique quality to it as well: the “ah-oo” or “oo-ah” combination. “Ah” has the vibration of being in harmony and alignment with the physical universe, where you presently perceive yourself to be. “Oo” has the quality of being in alignment and harmony with the highest of thought, yea even unto God Itself. Putting these sounds in direct combination with each other has the effect of saying, “As above, so below. As below, so above.” You are in effect commanding God and the Universe into greater likeness, creating more perfection, bringing in more light and love.
In a somewhat phonetic language, we have given many individuals what we have called “secret words.” Words that have the effect of adding to the power of what one says so that it may come forth more quickly. These words are not of this place or this time, but may be used by any of you to further empower what you speak to come to pass. The words are: “Ahl-hum, kala-hum, aba-nehhum, ala-hantu, ala-mandu, dahn eengunishna.” They mean, sort of in your understanding, “By the Power of God, through the Love of God, to the Glory of God, to the good of all concerned, for any who would desire it, come forth now into my experience and my reality.”
We would like to interject a suggestion or a recommendation here. Many of you are familiar with the Great Ascended Master St. Germain. Many of you who may hear or read these words at a later time are not. For those of you who have not done so yet, we highly recommend that you acquire or purchase the twelve volume set of discourses by St. Germain as published by the St. Germain foundation under the authorship of Godfrey Ray King. These teachings represent the clearest, purest, and simplest explanation of Divine Truth and the Laws or principles of Life that have come forth upon this plane in a very, very long time, perhaps ever. These teachings can provide a much more expanded version of what, when and how to speak decrees than what we choose at this time to do in our sharing with you this evening. Since this material is already “out there,” we see no need other than to guide you to what is available and in your best interest at this time. We have many other things to share with you instead. So Be it!
Now. Each of you also has a basic frequency of vibration that corresponds to a note on the musical scale. By using this as a mantra, or sounding the note periodically, you may be able to achieve great benefit from it. There are those who have, or shortly will be given, the knowledge of how to identify what your note may be.
If you have access to a piano, you may be able to identify this for yourself by simply playing each note individually several times and paying attention to what you feel in your physical body. When you find “your note,” you should notice a lighter feeling in the body, or perhaps a tingling sensation of energy moving up and down your spine. Many of you are ready for this. If you do not feel anything, ask within that you be guided in some manner as to whether you are ready for this and what your note may be.
Now. Spoken word. As we shared earlier, the words “I am” have special significance in that they are the Great Creative Command, that whatever you say “I am” to, you are unleashing the unlimited power of God within to create. There is another word to add to this combination, making the phrase “I Am Presence.” This means, when you say it, that you are aware of and are acknowledging the “presence” of God within you and in all life.
God in you, your “I Am Presence,” and the “Presence” in every other person and thing is One and the same. Hence many spiritual teachings about the oneness, or “Presence,” in all life. When Jesus said “I and the Father are One,” he was acknowledging his awareness of the “I Am Presence” within himself. That “Presence” is within each and every one of you, and wants for you to experience more of Its Perfection in your individual lives.
When you see other people, no matter what they are doing, whether you think it good or bad, it is the Perfect Energy of the God Presence within them that enables or empowers them to be able to do it. As you begin to see them in the Light of that Perfection within, even though their behavior may not be of the same perfection as you presently understand, your acknowledgment of God in them has the quality and power to bring more of God’s perfection into your experience.
If you gossip and talk about others from the perspective of what you find wrong with them and what they are doing, the power of your thought in that regard, by your attention, only risks bringing more of the same qualities that you judge in them into your experience and expression. As Jesus so succinctly said, “Judge not that you be not judged.” The more advanced you become, you will also recognize that even an opinion is just a subtle form of judgment, and must also be ceased in thought, feeling and word.
The Masters will teach you that you must learn how to surrender and turn everything over to that unlimited God-Presence within and allow it to guide you as to when and what actions are necessary and/or advisable. Far too often we see you giving your power away by reacting and judging things. That will only hook you more into them, and adds your life energy to more of the manifestation of the very imperfections and limitations from which we know you want to be free.
Another important sound vibration is that of the letter “o.” That contains the quality of acceptance. As you become more aware, especially when you begin using white light to enhance and increase your awareness out of conscious choice, you will find that what comes to your awareness is not only those things that you may call good or right about you, but you may also have revealed what you have in any way thought or judged as wrong or bad about you. When or if that happens, the Masterful thing to do is simply to acknowledge that it exists using the word “oh.” Then you do not risk hooking yourself even more into it by judgments of right and wrong.
Acceptance is one of the steps of allowing. When you allow what exists simply to be, you are actually in a very high state of love. Just do not allow yourself to become someone’s doormat in the process. Love yourself enough to value your truth; love others to validate and respect the God-beings that they are. But do not place yourself second in line to receive your own love. You are worth more than that. Do not fall into the possible trap that someone else’s truth is more valid or important to you than your own. If it is the Ascended Masters’ Truth, then it is indeed likely to be greater than that of your alter-ego. But those presently in your life are in some way there to reflect to you what you believe about yourself in particular and life in general.
Now, with regards to music. There are sounds and combinations of musical notes and frequencies that are soon to be discovered that can heal all manner of diseases. Some of you are already beginning to sense, feel and know this. The music that you listen to can lift your spirits, move you to tears of cleansing, and bring you energies of great inspiration and motivation, especially those musical pieces that are in alignment with your own personal frequencies of vibration.
Each of you is different and unique, so your specific musical tastes are likewise different. Some music evokes anger. But even anger has a purpose: when correctly understood and utilized, it is the energy that can be used to accomplish the actions you need to take in your lives. When misused, it becomes directed at others as if someone or something outside of yourself is to blame for what you experience. If you find yourself blaming others or the conditions and circumstances in your life for why you do not have the kind of life you want, that is only the manifestation of a victim consciousness. Everything you experience you either create consciously by desire and deliberate creation, or you allow out of ignorance and lack of knowledge and understanding.
You are the authority of your life, a topic which we will address at a later time in greater fullness. However, the last thing we want to share with you at this time relates to affirmation, “I am” statements. As we said, what you say “I am” to, you are empowering into your experience. If you say “I am” to a thing long enough, you will become it.
Begin to notice those areas of your life where you seem to be experiencing limitations. Are you having trouble in relationships, finances or health? Then start making positive “I am” statements about what you want to be and experience different from what you may presently be experiencing.
Each of you in your infancy and childhood embraced beliefs about yourselves and about life that are limited. As your brain was being “wired” at this time, the neuro-connections that became the thought and feeling pathways in the brain were used over and over. Like a physical muscle that gets used over and over, these neurological muscles became very strong and created many of your beliefs and attitudes.
To change a belief or its corresponding attitude, whether conscious or not, means that you begin to self-rewire. You do this each time that you speak a positive affirmation about yourself and the life you want to live. You must speak and think this new pattern over and over until by repetitious use it becomes a stronger wiring pattern in the brain than what the old limited belief may have been.
Concurrently, start “living as if” this new belief was in fact already true. Change your behavior. Yes, this may be very uncomfortable at first. But with determination, consistency, and repetition you can do it, at least we believe that you can. And as you make the commitment to do so, we will endeavor to add our energy to you. Also, give thanks for it as if it were already accomplished.
Now, the time has come for us to depart in this manner. We invite you once again to become quiet, to close your eyes and take a deep breath, and be at peace.

Benediction

“Beloved Father, Mighty I Am Presence, we give thanks for the learning that has taken place here; that each and every person who hears or reads these words has benefitted from them; and that the “cups” that these words are will fill each one with more of the Light of the Perfection that they already are. Let each one become more aware of what they speak, and what they think and feel as well. Let that awareness bring them greater joy and happiness. Let them cease all criticism and judgment, especially of themselves. But let them also be aligned both to the Light and Love that is coming forth even now upon this plane, and to their role in the fulfillment of the Ascended Masters Divine Plan. We give thanks that this is so. So be it!”

And though we leave you now in this understanding, as always we’re only a loving thought away. So be it!

DISCOURSE II
“YOU ARE THE AUTHORITY”
Awakening Truth, Taking Back Power, Use of Power, Cosmic Assistance
August 9, 1992

Beloved Masters, welcome to this place and to this time. We want each of you for a moment to close your eyes, take a deep breath, and allow yourselves to relax. We are delighted that you have allowed yourselves to read these words and to take the time to allow an expansion of consciousness.

Invocation

“Beloved I Am Presence, God, All That Is, we do indeed give thanks for the truth manifesting upon this plane, for the Great Ascended Masters who are gathering now to make their appearance upon this plane, for other Great Beings of Light who are choosing forms to bring forth a knowingness that there is indeed more than what the biggest portion of humanity has thought was truth, and for that truth indeed being brought forth here in these words, we invoke the Divine Rays of Integration so that this truth may therefore be integrated into their knowing and applied in their lives to bring forth greater joy, greater light, and greater love from within. We give thanks that this is so for all who would hear or read these words, and for the light that is coming forth, indeed, to the good of all mankind, to the good of all life, so be it!”

You exist now in a time that change is taking place rather rapidly. The Beloved Great Elohim of Peace and the Beloved Great Elohim of Purity are beaming forth Rays now to assist you very greatly. How that manifests into your experience becomes an individual thing because you are the authority of your life.
If someone were to hand over to you a million dollars and you were to refuse to accept it, then it would do you no good. So in learning what it means to be the Authority of your life, you're also learning what the Truth is of Who You Really Are and how to use that Authority, how to take back your power from all those places, conditions, emotions, people and situations to which you've given it away, in some cases for many, many lifetimes.
Each of you is also charged with the responsibility of sharing the Truth as the opportunities come forth into your experience so that the Light can expand upon this plane through you. In order for the great entity the Earth to expand its Light, it is not an independent thing. Therefore, you who inhabit the Earth are called upon to expand your Light concurrently. It is a cooperative process. Much of humanity has reneged on what we would call the great trust given to them in being the caretakers for the planet.
Now, if you had someone living with you, for example, who ended up keeping your place always in a pigpen, stenching things up, leaving trash all over the place, you might reach a point where you probably wouldn't want them in your space anymore. The Earth has great patience and has for thousands of years. But during the recent 100 years, it has experienced probably the greatest damage that it has ever experienced.
There were times in the past that were damaging, during the times of Atlantis and Lemuria, during other Golden Ages upon this planet. But in those ages nuclear weapons did not exist. What is not understood by humanity and those who created these items is that the proliferation and the use of a device such as this which has the potential, and does in fact split atoms, it is actually destroying consciousness. That is one of the gravest violations that could ever be perpetrated in any realm of the universe.
From our perspective, almost every society in its technological advancement existing in this universe has had to go through that lesson at some level or another. There have been societies indeed that destroyed themselves as a result of that. This is the only time in which an entity would cease to exist.
Here, we're not talking about the entities such as yourself that we will refer to as the first-born of God, the All That Is All In All. But rather more the Life forms that you, being the first-born of God, that you give birth to. You are the Power, you are the Authority, in terms of what you think, in terms of what you feel, say and do.
Those thoughts and those emotions, when given attention, are empowered and become living things. Some of what has been destroyed has been what you would call negative, through whatever means, nuclear explosions or the like. However, when Light is used, beamed forth by Great Beings of Light, it is a very different thing. It does not destroy life, but transmutes it into a higher frequency of vibration.
For example, each one of you has had such great assistance rendered unto you by Great Beings of Light that you cannot possibly imagine how blessed you have been, particularly in this time, meaning in particular the past ten years.
How has this blessing come forth? Well, the energy that is here is such that if your thoughts and your emotions were allowed simply to go forth and come back to you, they would go out and come back to you in approximately 30 minutes, manifesting almost 100,000-fold in intensity whatever emotion that you clothe the thought with. And the thought then creates the form of how it would manifest into your experience.
Now, think about that: a 100,000-fold increase in intensity and only a 30-minute delay. Yet you're still here. Some of you perhaps have even had thoughts of self-destruction, some of you have had thoughts or been around entities that have talked about all manner of cataclysmic events. And yet you're still here. None of that has happened yet because of the great Love from Beings of Light that love you very greatly, and who are therefore intercepting and transmuting these energies.
We want you soon to get yourself into a space of quiet, and as best you can feel all the gratitude that you can for that service that has been rendered to you. It is far greater perhaps than what you understand at this time.
Now, this has the potential of causing entities such as yourself to become dependent upon “Spirit” to save and rescue. That ultimately cannot be the situation. We stand ready to assist because you are at many levels of your being committed to a pathway of Light and Love. And oh yes, we know that at the conscious perspective you still face challenges sometimes in relationships and your day-to-day activities, in job endeavors, in seeking to bring forth the monies and foodstuffs or whatever you need for your sustenance. We understand that fully.
We actually understand it far more greatly than those entities that complain a lot about why doesn't Spirit understand what it's like to be here. We do. The difference from our perspective is that most of the entities who are here don't understand what it is to be here themselves. And that's why they project or give their power away, saying that those Great Beings of Light don't understand what it's like to be here. Nothing could be further from the truth.
So therefore we are assisting by beaming forth Light to help harmonize, to help heal, to transmute, and change all these energies to give you every opportunity possible to awaken, to awaken to the real Truth of Who You Are -- that you are the First Born of God. Therefore you have all the Attributes of God the All That Is All In All.
And you are finally beginning to learn how to take back your Power. You're learning how to use the Power that you have. What is the Power that you have? It is your feeling. And you are feeling all the time.
No matter what anyone says to you, no matter how intellectual a person becomes, they're still feeling, even if they choose to shut down that portion of the brain that allows them to have consciousness of that feeling. And You, the Real You, certainly have dominion over the physical body. Everything that you think about your physical body, feel about your physical body, speak about your physical body, has an effect upon it.
Yes, we are also aware that you've come into this lifetime with a certain genetic inheritance in terms of your parents and their parents and the like. And that is recorded in the genes and the double helix of the DNA chain as certain emotional patterns, if you want to call it that. But also realize that from the higher perspective, prior to coming into that physical embodiment, you selected those patterns for very specific purposes.
Contrary to popular belief, karma is a no-thing. From our perspective it is only a limited belief on the part of humanity. From our perspective, it has been perpetrated as a result of religious dogma and doctrine.
The mere fact that you exist means that God Loves you. And through that Unlimited Love from the All That Is All In All, which is also All Life, and everything is Alive, you still exist. You have not been judged by God. You have only been judged by yourself, or humanity, or perhaps other beings, since now you're moving into a space and time where the existence of other cultures on other planets and star systems is becoming a reality in consciousness.
But be that as it may, one of the most important concepts to begin embracing is that from the highest perspective, you've never done anything wrong, nor has anyone ever done anything wrong to you.
From another perspective We would say to you that there are many in the field of psychology that are perhaps a little bit hung up there sometimes. Oh, it has a very wonderful and grand purpose because many of humanity are stuck in denial of what they are really feeling. But there's a certain process that one goes through on a pathway of Mastery.
First of all, you have to be able to release repressed emotion. Psychology and many other fields of endeavor, of assistance, of healing, of awareness assist you in gaining that knowledge, that awareness.
The next step, once you become aware of the repressed emotions and are able to release them, is that you finally start acknowledging what you're feeling moment by moment, rather than repressing anything at all. Now remember that emotion, feeling, is your Power. You're learning to take back your Power. You're learning how to direct and focus that Power. But before you can do so you have to know what it is, and you have to have dominion over it. Otherwise, you can't direct that energy to create what you want.
Many entities have blockages, and the blockages are primarily just repressed emotion, or lack of awareness. Now you can call forth the repressed emotion or you can use many of the different techniques available through other entities who are willing to be of assistance in that regard, to help you undercover what was the event that may have caused the repression in the first place. Then allow the feeling that was repressed to come forth, to own it, to release it and to be done with it. And decree by the Power of your Spoken Word that it be resolved and owned completely, and that you be done with it forever.
Now, one of the Great Waves of Light at this time contains a quality called Divine Harmony. In order for you to direct the powerful energy of your feeling, you must first have Harmony and Peace in your feeling, in your emotional body. And you begin by getting out the repressed emotion.
Many people have repressed emotions manifest in their physical body in terms of all manner of disease or accumulations or what-not. It's not the only cause, but it's one of the causes of disease.
So when you reach that second step on the pathway of being able to acknowledge what you are feeling, acknowledge moment by moment if you feel angry. Cease using the words “I AM” for anything other than what you want to create, either as a quality to express or as what you are calling forth to come forth into your experience. To do that, say the following, “I AM the Presence which calls forth the manifestation, the precipitation...” whatever it may be.
“I AM” is the great creative word, the great creative command. To use the great creative word is to unleash the Unlimited Power of God that is within you to create. So when you are acknowledging emotions, if you are at that stage, it is important to say, “I AM aware that I feel...,” whatever the emotion is.
We see a lot of entities still in what we would call relative darkness going around saying, "I'm angry, I'm furious, I'm enraged." What they don't realize is that the power of their spoken word creates that later on coming into their experience. And they're perpetuating the very thing from which they want to be free. “I AM” is the most powerfully creative word that exists. But there is another more powerful creative essence within you, and it is just pure, simple knowing.
We've often shared with you, for example, by saying things such as, "If you want to know your truth, look at your life. You're living your truth." You can say what you believe. You can embrace things intellectually, but you are living your truth. If you say that you want oppulence and abundance and money, and you say you believe all these things about how it can be created, but it is not your experience, then you've got to be honest with yourself and simply say, “This is not my truth yet.”
How does something become your truth? Through experience. Through experience over and over and over again until you finally embrace, “Ah, if I do this, then this is the result.” And it becomes a knowing, and you live it as your truth. It becomes integrated in a way that it's an automatic.
Each of you have your own realm of truth that is within, what you are living. And each of you wants to expand that to include greater light, greater love, greater abundance, money, supply of all good things. It is indeed your Divine Right to have that, unrestricted in any way by any other entity upon this plane.
One of the results of the Divine Rays of Freedom and the Great Waves of Light that are coming in will be a desire on the part of humanity for a much greater sense and feeling of freedom and of wanting to know what is truth.
Now, for the mass of humanity, a lot of this energy will be directed toward institutions that humanity has given its power away to for a long time. One of the biggest and worst perpetrations of giving away power has been entities giving their power away to government by wanting the government to take care of them. There are many entities who are power hungry, who take that power, and from our perspective unfortunately misuse it. From the Highest Perspective there is no right or wrong. They are automatically forgiven by God.
Anything you see that you judge to be wrong, that you say you can't forgive, we will caution you very explicitly, because you're moving into a space and time of great energy and you create things very rapidly. If there is a thing for which you have an intense emotional judgment, it more often than not means that your Soul is incomplete and has not experienced that thing for the understanding. Therefore, your Soul, through the Higher Self and the Higher Mental Body, may begin moving you into a space and time where you would experience it.
Now, what kinds of things would any of you be at risk for in that regard? Only what you judge and hate. But you have available that great tool called the Violet Flame. In using and invoking the Violet Flame, in using and invoking the Divine Rays of Wisdom, the Golden Light of Wisdom, it brings you into a space and time where you can simply own a feeling without creating the experience of it, and it becomes simple to understand.
If there's a thing that you see, and if for any reason you sense yourself feeling an intense negative emotion about it, call on the Law of Forgiveness and the Violet Flame. Call on the activation of the Golden Light of Divine Wisdom and Divine Love to assist in integrating the understanding of this thing so that you release the emotion and that it is cleansed, purified and transmuted immediately.
We say this to you because there may be entities that you know, or that you see on the news or hear about in the newspaper that, because of the intensity of the energy that is here, they end up creating very intense experiences.
Now, there is another truth, the Divine Law of Love, that states: whatever you give your attention to, you are feeding your life energy into it and are therefore empowering it into your experience. If there is a concept, a thing, an event or circumstance that you do not want in your experience, then it is important to cease giving your attention to it by your thought and feeling.
Now, some of you for a long time have, for example, been almost literally battling at a survival or poverty level of existence. This is not your Real Self. This is not the truth of who you really are. Yet we also understand the whys and the wherefores, because so much of your energy has been in alignment or harmony to lack, to not having enough.
The Divine Ray of Harmony that is coming in will assist you if you choose to use it so that you can begin cleansing out those old feelings. How do you use it? You call it forth. You call on the Great Being of Harmony to beam forth the Divine Ray of Harmony. You call on your Higher Self and your Mental Body to bring forth harmony into your experience in this hour.
When you decree it to be done, say “Come forth in this hour into the perfect feeling of Harmony.” Then get your attention on something that would be joyful to you.
If you have periods of inactivity where you're not busy, then one of the best things in the world that you could do for yourself from henceforth is to simply envision yourself being filled with White Light, because as you fill yourself with White Light you are expanding your consciousness, you are filling yourself with perfection. That is the implication of White Light, the Light of Perfection. The more Brilliant, the more White, the more Perfection.
Simultaneous with that, if you choose to do so, you can also envision your physical body in an appearance of what you would like for it to be if for any reason it is not. As you envision yourself being filled with the White Light and you envision that form, you are creating it to be so.
Now, from our perspective, we know a greater truth: that in the blink of an eye you could transform the physical body and it would appear entirely different. But you have not experienced that; therefore, it's not your truth and therefore it's hard for you to think in terms of that much power existing within you that could accomplish it. But that is the Truth.
Perhaps you would like to experience that. The first thing to realize is that you are in a process right now. There are some things that are going to happen automatically as you achieve simply greater love for your own Beloved Great Soul Being and for all of Life. The more that you embrace the feeling of love, the more everything in your life begins to shift, to transform and change.
The power that is within you is feeling, and the most powerful feeling is love. Love heals all, creates all, transmutes all, holds all together, is the highest frequency that you could truly embrace, but not just what you understand to be the feeling of romantic love.
From our perspective, and this is no criticism or anything, romantic love is a relatively low frequency vibration of love. It's the extent to which humanity has been able to embrace a real concept of love. There are those indeed who have a great and powerful love for their mate or for other people in their lives, which is a wonderful thing.
When you can love your self -- and here we're referring to your Real Self, Higher Self, God within you, the Beloved Great Soul Being, the Lord God of Your Being -- when you can love that in the same way as you understand that you have perhaps romantically loved another person at some time, that will open up a much greater magnitude of the power of feeling to flow through you.
You will not be given the conscious use of any more power than what you can consciously direct to the good of all concerned. Now whether or not your experience ends up being good, you are in essence decreeing all the time with every thought, every feeling, every attitude, every belief, every spoken word and every action. But that same energy flowing through you, to the good of all concerned, even if you create negativity, then in some way another person might benefit from it. The Energy that is here is an Energy of Love. Love is the primary component, and it will simply increase and increase and increase.
Physical phenomena that a lot of entities talk about are another way in which you give away your power, meaning that if you give attention to the physical phenomena with an emotion of fear or anxiety, you are empowering that phenomena to come forth upon this plane.
Now, there are a great many entities of religious institutions that believe that this is a time that might be called the end of the world. There's relative truth in that. The relative truth is that it is the end of what might be called the limited expression of humanity, and it is the beginning of the expansion of human consciousness into a higher expression of Love.
There are a lot of entities who are trying to interpret this in intellectual terms, of dimensions, of various configurations of trigonometric and geometric figures and the like, and that's all well and good. But sometimes too much intellectualization of things only confuses the real truth. Truth manifests more as a feeling than it does as words or intellect.
If you want to know the truth, the truth will come to you more often as a feeling. Sometimes it will come as thought. Sometimes it will come as spoken word and the like. But the greater truths are perceived within your higher consciousness as feeling.
Now, a lot of you have questions, for example, of decisions that you are thinking about making, or of things that you want to know. So we're going to give you a couple of criteria in terms of how the Higher Self assists you when you pay attention to the messages you are receiving all the time.
The Higher Self guides you with feeling. When you are feeling joyful, then you can be sure that what you are thinking or feeling or doing is appropriate, is in your best interests. When you are feeling happy and joyful and loving, you're receiving energies of joy, happiness and love.
And in those other times, for example, when perhaps a person is having a thought or a feeling about you that is negative in some way, and if you pick up on that energy, guard yourself with the White Light. We want you to decree that every morning, and if necessary three times a day, that the Tube of White Light be maintained and sustained invincible all around you at all times.
Much of the energy here is being misused by humanity, creating a lot of negativity. But that negativity is not allowed to go out in the universe so much as it remains as a veil or a cloud around the planet, a cloud of gray energy from our perspective.
We see the light within you, and that light is growing more brightly all the time because love is awakening within you. You desire to know the truth, even though your alter-ego sometimes jumps in with its sense desires of wanting things, wanting money. There's nothing wrong with wanting things, not at all. But remember the great decree of Jesus the Christ: “Seek ye first the Kingdom of Heaven (meaning know your Self) and all those things will be added to you.” When you know who you are and how to use the great power that you are, no thing will be denied you.
It is important when you want great things that you realize that to create great things in your experience requires great power, and great power just doesn't mean sitting on your duff and thinking about it. It means taking an action, an activity.
The life energy animates your physical body, and it fills your physical body with unlimited energy, if you allow it to. You are the arms and legs for opening the doors, for creating the experiences (or walking through the experiences might be a better way to term it) that come forth into your reality as you create them.
When you have a thought or a desire, it means your Higher Self has already created ways, but you must know what your priorities are, you must know what your values are, you must know what your truth really is, and act in alignment to the good of all concerned.
If you decree a thing to be to the good of all concerned, and then trust your own Higher Self, which is unlimited, it will be accomplished as such, not necessarily always the way the ego thinks things should be, but certainly in a far grander manner it will indeed come to pass for the good of all concerned.
Now, what about choices or decisions or things that you think you might want? Something comes to you, but you are unsure of a choice. If you're unsure, if there's some question in your mind about this, that or the other, say something like this, “From the Lord God of my being, unto the Father within: Beloved Father, Mighty I AM Presence, and Beloved Great Soul Being that I Am, I think this is a thing that I would like to have. If this is in my highest and best interest and in the highest and best interest of all concerned, then You come forth here and take charge of it. Make the way clear and plain. Bring forth your Perfect Harmony, Supply and Timing of all that is required for its completion and manifestation. If for any reason this is not in my best interest or the best interest of all concerned, then block it completely, and bring forth its equivalent or something better.”
When you're faced with a decision on something, and you decree that your Higher Self, the Great I AM Presence of God, block completely anything that is not in your best interest, what might you expect to happen?
First of all, you issue that decree and then you go ahead with activities as if what you wanted were going to come to pass. If it were something that you wanted like an item of clothing or something, then you would go ahead, check the newspaper and perhaps go to a store.
What can you then expect to happen? Well, if it's in your best interest, things will flow quite easily. If for any reason it isn't in your best interest, you typically get three little blockages.
We use the example of the one through whom we speak who wanted to get some land in Arizona. He made the phone call to the agent, the agent was not in, but would be at another location the next day. Blockage No. 1. The next day the phone call was made once again, only there was no answer. Blockage No. 2. He waited an hour, called again, and the phone was busy. Blockage No. 3. He decided then it was being blocked for some reason, maybe it's not appropriate now.
Another point that we want to make to you is that sometimes things are blocked, not because it would be completely inappropriate for you, but because of timing. So there may be times when a thing is inappropriate, but it doesn't mean that it would be inappropriate forever.
The more you have to struggle and push to create what you want, is a pretty good indication that something either about the timing or about the way that you're creating is out of alignment and out of harmony. You need to step back at those times and take a look. What are you really feeling?
The biggest stress, the biggest difficulties that we observe, the places where there is the greatest resistance is not in creating the experience of what you want. It's actually in letting go of the ego perception of the form it needs to take. And trusting -- get this now -- trusting that your Higher Self can in fact bring it to you. That is where we see the greatest difficulties. No. 1, the ego's resistance, and No. 2, your trust in your Self at that conscious perspective.
Could you ask for, example, three days before your rent is due, and perhaps you don't have a penny, could you ask for it and trust so greatly with knowingness that your Higher Self could create it to come forth?
We don't suggest that you go out and try to do this. Don't set it up, not yet. If it needs to come into your experience, it will in its own time. This is not a thing that you need to go out and create.
The power of your feeling is what empowers the thought, the form, the pattern to go forth, break through the veil of negativity around this planet and to harmonize therefore with the joyful, happy, loving feelings that you want to experience and bring back to you. But to do that, you have to feel that joy, happiness and love intensely enough to propel the thought so that it breaks through the veil.
Now, for most entities we see, especially those who for a long time have been struggling quite a bit, it's almost as if they don't know what that feeling of joy and happiness and love really is. Well, your Higher Self and your Higher Mental Body definitely knows.
Call it forth, that the feeling of joy be manifest into your physical body in this hour, or whatever hour that you call it forth, so that you have the remembrance of what it feels like to be joyful. You may be surprised at what comes forth when you call it forth.
Now, another thing. Doubt and uncertainty represent energies that form a force field around you, just as does anger or any negative emotion. And that doubt and uncertainty is one of the biggest blockages. Self-pity is perhaps one of the worst, absolute worst. But doubt and self-pity form blockages, so that what you call forth gets delayed.
When you envision a thing and feel the emotion that you want this thing to bring to you when you have it, you are creating an experience. Each time that you do that, each time that you consciously choose to go into a meditation to create -- and by the way, beloved Masters, when you have the knowledge of how to create, you also have the responsibility to use it, to use that knowledge -- but when you have that, when you create that experience over and over and over again, the energy is cumulative, meaning that you're building up quite a bank account of joyful experiences. And you may in fact very rapidly reach that point of intense joy, happiness, and love that will break through the veil and bring back the positive experiences.
One of the reasons that it has been difficult for a long time is because of this veil of negativity that exists around the planet. So, for example, if you have negative thoughts they don't have very far to travel before they come back. Luckily, they don't contain as much energy. But we do notice that most entities on this plane are thinking or feeling negatively about 90% of the time, at least in the awakened state. And a lot of times they're not even aware of what they are feeling.
But that feeling is creating all the time because it's going out from you. It's energy that is coming through and being used and going out from you.
Call forth the awareness. Fill yourself with Light when you become aware of what you're feeling. Then you have the opportunity to embrace the third step on the pathway, which is the acknowledgment of your free will and free choice to choose what you feel.
Rather than be affected by external appearances, you begin to take back your power and say, “No, no more. This has no power. Mighty I AM Presence, you step forth here right now. Bring forth your Perfection into this situation right now!” Then trust it to do so. Feel the Energy coming in.
If you would close your eyes and take a deep breath in these times when perhaps you were decreeing this kind of thing, you may find a much greater harmony, for example, coming into the physical body.
This is one of the reasons why during our talks in person with you, we frequently have you close your eyes and take a deep breath, because we sense a certain level of stressful energy building up or that you may have come in with some stress. This helps you to release the stress and to reach a space of greater peace and quiet and tranquility. In that frequency of vibration, you are far more receptive to truth that benefits you.
All is truth upon this plane. Even the entities bringing forth words about destruction -- that is truth, but it's relative truth. It may not manifest in terms of physical reality. But it is a truth because it evokes emotion. And your feeling is the truth of what or who you really are, at a certain level, at least in terms of how you have consciously evolved up to this point.
We want you to begin taking those quantum steps and leaps, not bypassing anything, but moving through it quickly. And those leaps can come in flashes of insight, such that if you tried to put it into words, you know it would take you weeks and weeks of speaking to contain all that was in that one flash of light.
But in that flash of light was a feeling, and often not just one but a great feeling. And you know that you know. You don't have to intellectualize; you just know. And that's all that is necessary.
In the mornings of your time there will come a time when you'll be able to say, “I AM,” and that's all that will be necessary, for that includes all things. “I Am” is the White Light of the spoken word. The White Light contains all frequencies. “I AM” contains all possibilities. It doesn't restrict them. It doesn't limit them.
What would you like as the authority of your life? You are the Authority in every thought, feeling, attitude, belief, spoken word and action. You have grand and glorious desires, and you would not have them if it weren't that the God Being that you are is fully capable of realizing them in this embodiment.
Awaken as the God Being that you are. Let the Light that is coming in serve you to that awakening. Let us assist you to a greater unlimitedness. Let the words that you speak be the truth that you desire to live. And in all that you beam forth in behalf of humanity, couple with it the thought “to the good of all concerned.”
Fulfill your Divine Plan. The Ascended Masters are beginning to walk once again upon this planet. There are already some that do. But of walking forth in visible form. So too, the Angelic Beings, the Great Ones and many others. It is one of the great privileges of what this time is all about.
And when we come forth, the truth will be conveyed to you in an even higher way, no longer veiled in human opinion, no longer hidden by the emotional traumas that may be going on for the entities sometimes to whom you give your power away as if they knew a greater truth than you. Sometimes that is true, but more often than not it isn't.
Your own truth lies waiting within you for discovery. Let it be an adventure. Let it be fun. Let it be joyful.
We love you greatly. We will say now, however, that the time has come for us to depart. And so, while our words cease with you in this manner, our love goes with you forever. We invite you once again to close your eyes and become quiet, just for a moment.

Benediction

“Beloved Great I AM Presence in each of these Thy Children, manifest Thy Perfection in their physical embodiment, in their emotional embodiment, in their mental, their causal and their spiritual embodiment. Maintain Thy Perfection and Thy Harmony in each one.
If at any time any one of them should sense a limitation, remind them to call on the Law of Forgiveness and the Violet Flame. Remind them to say ‘NO!’ to the appearances of limitation. Remind them to take back their power in those situations in which they have found themselves enmeshed in limitation. And remind them of who they really are, ye even the Children of God, growing to full stature now, ready to embark upon another grand and glorious adventure. Bless each one in the Light, and in Love and Truth and Purity and Harmony and Joy and Happiness forever. So be it!”

And though we leave you now in this understanding, as always we're only a loving thought away. So be it.

DISCOURSE III
EMPOWERMENT THROUGH ENCOURAGEMENT
August 16, 1992

As always, we bring you good tidings and news this evening which will certainly we feel be of great joy to you. For indeed what we might say has been an additional dispensation has been rendered forth, yea even in the very hour that is occurring in your understanding of time as it is known in this time. And that great dispensation is indeed being beamed forth for those that have called themselves the Lightworkers. It might be said that they are "graduating" to become Lightplayers!
One of the most important aspects that you will be embracing in your lives in the coming days concerns the attitude of playfulness. This evening's topic, while somewhat different from that, will certainly be embraced from our prospective with an attitude of playfulness. Much of your learning has been in the context that you have thought it was work, that it was a struggle, that it was difficult, that it was arduous. We want you to begin embracing at least a thought, if not even putting the thought into practice, that life is now becoming far more joyful, far more playful, far more harmonious, far more miraculous.
Here we speak of miraculous and miracles in a context that that is a normal way to live, rather than being abnormal or unusual. And as you begin to embrace greater harmony within your own being, within your emotional body, you will find that your decrees, your calling forth, your requests and the like will come forth far more rapidly for you in an effortless kind of way, particularly when it is to the good of all concerned.
Sometimes we do notice that the ego desires seem to have precedence in your putting forth energy and effort rather than what might be called an effort that would be to the good of all concerned. And of course, you are simply in the process of learning your own particular differentiation between the two, because not one of you has the same lessons to learn, not one of you is alike, and of course that need not be said. But from the perspective of, let us say, of the words that we give to you, it is important indeed that you be able to apply these things in your life. And therefore we speak things in simple terms. That way each one of you is able to receive and apply something in your life in a way that is appropriate for your own lessons.
So at this time we want to invite you, as we usually do, to become quiet for a moment, take a deep breath, close your eyes, breathe in deeply, hold it for just a moment, and let it out and allow yourself to be at peace, allow yourself to be receptive, allow yourself to feel the harmony that is coming into this place. This room is being filled now with the great Violet Light. And the Elohim of Peace and the Elohim of Purity are beaming forth indeed a great wave of energy to assist in this place and in this time where each of you are here, and for those who will hear or read these words at a later time.

Invocation

“Beloved Great I AM Presence, Beloved Great All That Is All In All, once again we give thanks indeed for all of those here. We give thanks indeed for the Truth that is unfolding to create that Knowing within of the Unlimitedness of Thee which is in each and every one. We give thanks indeed for the awakening that is taking place here in all of humanity, for the opportunities being made known and the possibilities for each soul's evolution so magnificently portrayed upon this plane. We give thanks also for all of those who will hear these words in whatever form that may take, that the words may indeed empower them to a greater understanding of the Love that is within, of the Life that is ongoing and forever, ye even eternal. And though there appears to be what might be called the garment of the flesh that seems limited, yet the Life that empowers the flesh to animation is unlimited and eternal.
We give thanks also that in receiving that which is rendered this evening as a service to each one, that they will take this and apply and indeed achieve what might be called the miracles in their own lives for which they so earnestly seek. We give thanks indeed for all of these things to the good of all concerned. So be it.”

Now, this evening's topic has been called “Empowerment through Encouragement.” What does it mean from our perspective, this term called “Empowerment.” Well, certainly we want to draw your attention to words such as “I AM.” There have oftentimes been in the history and evolution of language, distortions of words. So “empowerment” was really “I AM Power.”
Now, when you think, therefore, in the context of what you desire, and when you connect with a greater desire for something as an experience in your life, you are in effect saying that you desire to have more power flow through you. But your power is in your feeling. Your power is in your emotion.
Your Higher Self will not give you any more emotion that you can use without misqualifying to a certain extent. This depends uniquely on each and every individual, where they are, both in terms of conscious evolution and where they are in terms of soul evolution. And there could be marked differences between those two.
There are many, for example, who are very evolved souls but at the conscious level don't seem to be living much of that evolution. The converse is also true. There are many who at the conscious level are very evolved, yet at the spiritual level they haven't really come very far.
It is not a matter of what you see another person doing or saying or experiencing that is in any way, shape or form a true indication of who and/or what they are or how evolved they may be.
So let's bring it down to a personal level. What does this mean? How can you apply this? “Empowerment, I AM Power,” through “Encouragement, I AM Courage.” To create what you desire, first of all you have to have the power, which means the feeling flowing through you. The feeling? What kind of feeling? Well, a joyful emotion is what we recommend, of course.
Many entities have had feelings flowing through them that are very limited. They've had feelings flowing through them of great anger, great resentment, hatred, jealousies, resentments or prejudices, for example.
So, with those energies going through, what do you think those kind of people are going to create as experiences? Obviously, it's going to come back to them sooner or later if they don't understand the nature of the Law of Life.
One of the primary Laws of Life, the Great Law of Love, is that whatever you Love you become. So in this time, in this space, with this energy that is here now, with the Great Love that is coming in, it is important to use the energy of love in such a way that when you say “I AM Power” or “Empowerment through Encouragement,” “I AM Courage,” that you are loving the concepts of courage and power.
But realize that this is not talking about power over another person, it's not talking about power in the human concept. It's talking about the energy of feeling, the energy of feeling that propels your thought outward beyond this 7,000 foot thick layer of social consciousness that's like a veil around the planet.
When you desire to create a thing, and by the way when you learn the Principle of Creation you have a responsibility to use it, so for some of you, we want to interject something here, and that is quite simply that when you know how to create you must begin doing it. You must begin taking the time for example to connect with a desire, to ask your own Beloved Soul Being for it, to visualize, fill it with light, feel whatever joyful emotion that you want this thing to bring to you, and then command it with your spoken word to come forth in an appropriate time.
Now, appropriate time could be different for a lot of people. It may be appropriate for you to command it to come forth in that very moment that you are envisioning. Or it may be, depending on what it is, it may be that you need to keep envisioning and feeling until you break through this veil of social consciousness with enough energy of feeling so that your seed of creation, of thought, is empowered to go out beyond, therefore to resonate and harmonize with the positive energies that can come back to you and create and bring forth the experience itself.
What that therefore entails in a lot of situations is that you go into meditation, or become quiet to envision this thing that you want and to feel the joy. Each time that you do so, or feel whatever emotion that it is that you want this thing to bring to you, that becomes a cumulative energy. You start building on what you've done before.
You can do it several times a day, for example. And each time as you are able to maintain yourself harmonious you will have become more able to connect with a greater energy or feeling of emotion that is empowering the thing that you want to come to pass.
We have also shared with you at some time in the past that you would quite likely feel something like a click in the back of your head or in your head someplace, like a bone shift or something of that nature, when you have felt something sufficiently strong to empower it to come to pass. That little click was your signal that it had broken through the veil of social consciousness around the planet.
Now what happens is that for a lot of entities, and the reason that some of the things that they try to create don't come to pass more quickly (this is not a blanket statement by the way, but it is sort of what happens for a lot of people) is that there's not enough feeling in what it is that they are trying to empower to break through that veil.
But we want to say to you that with practice, with doing it over and over and over again, you build on that level that you may have reached before, so long as you don't tear it down, of course. You have free will and you have free choice. So therefore in exercising that free will and free choice, if you find yourself falling into downward spirals of emotion that could wipe out lots of things that you've been trying to create, then maintaining harmony in your emotional field is a very important aspect in your Higher Self vesting you as the conscious being with more power of feeling.
If for any reason you were to misuse that power that's come through, and once your reach a certain level it's coming through all the time, whether or not you're consciously aware of it or not, but if you start misusing it, misdirecting it, especially with the energy that is here now, of course there is that risk that you could be empowering negative experiences into your life. So, if it seems that there some things of that nature that are moving slowly, there's a very important reason for it: it is to give you the opportunity to acclimate to a higher level of creative ability, of literal creative ability, meaning that you empower a thought and it manifests as a reality.
Therefore, when you are doing your meditations in the mornings or the evenings of your time, one of the most important things for you to do at this time is to call forth from your Higher Self and from the Elohim and the Seraphim and the Cherubim that energy of pure Harmony, and that it be maintained and sustained all around you and all within you from henceforth.
To speak a thing in whatever words seem appropriate to you at this time, to speak a thing, and command it to come forth is in indeed one of the powers with which you are endowed or one of the abilities with which you are endowed.
Sometimes we use those words synonymously, but we want to differentiate between power, Empowerment, meaning putting energy into a thing in that terminology versus power meaning an ability to accomplish something.
Power is energy that has been put into motion to accomplish a specific thing might be another way to define it. So emotion which is feeling then, through empowerment you are directing that energy in a way to accomplish a specific goal or specific purpose. Maintaining harmony allows it to happen far more quickly because your emotional field filters what goes out from you and what comes into you.
One of the important things for you to be doing at this time also has to do with surrounding yourself in the Tube of White Light, because that will have a function of a filtering also to filter out what might be called some impure energies that might be projected at you in terms of thoughts, feelings, this kind of thing.
But another use of this Tube of Light, which you command it to do, is that it blocks your own negative thoughts and emotions from going out from you. So this is another aspect of a tool of which you are already aware that allows you then to begin insuring that the energies that you might have that sometimes are inharmonious and misqualified, it insures an additional protection, if you want to call it that, that these energies do not go out and create negative experiences for you.
Now, you can also call on an Ascended Master to assist you in that process. And the process is quite simply one of holding the energy of the solar plexus, holding that energy sufficiently within the body until it is reharmonized and transmuted.
You see, the energy feeling, the energy of your emotion, is emitted primarily from the solar plexus, from the stomach area. Therefore, when that goes out from you, that feeling goes out from you, if it is one of a negative vibration, you want to have an Ascended Master put his arms around your solar plexus or stomach area to hold that energy until it can be transmuted, so that it does not go out and affect any part of life.
One of the reasons that we have had each one of you, that we've been talking to each one of you about establishing the Invincible Tube of White Light around you, is because you have a lot of people in your lives that, unconsciously, or even sometimes consciously, but for the most part not with any mal-intent, may have negative thoughts or feelings about you. There are also, and there may be some of you who have had situations where people have purposely had negative thoughts or feelings about you.
Well, if you have a thought or feeling about another person, or anyone having thoughts or feelings about you, that's energy that goes out from you.
Now, when you think about someone, you are surround them in the energy of that thought. If they are unevolved at the conscious level, if they are unevolved even at the spiritual level, there is a risk that they will unconsciously act on your thought that you had about them.
So, in the context of tonight's topic, Empowerment Through Encouragement, one of the best things that you can do in rendering a great service to those people that you know, and concurrently therefore rendering a great service to yourself, is to have thoughts of encouragement toward those people in your life that may be experiencing any kind of difficulty whatsoever.
Rather than think of a person as not having enough money, think of them as being capable of coming up with the ideas and the opportunities to bring great sums of money into their experience. Rather than thinking of someone as being ill or sick, think of them as being fully capable of allowing the energy of love to flow through them and to transform and transmute everything in the physical body into the perfection of Perfect Light manifest in that physical form.
Rather than thinking of your friends, your mate, boyfriends, girlfriends as being someone who has issues that they need to work on for any reason, have thoughts about them that they are fully capable in the blink of an eye of embracing Mastery, because it will begin happening with the energies that are here.
There will soon be people who just in the blink of an eye simply become incarnated Masters. It may not even in some situations appear that from certain perspectives they deserve it, but it is simply that for whatever the reason, and it doesn't matter what the reason is, the fact that it can happen means that it can also happen for you.
You see, this is kind of the way it works. After a certain length of time, and it may be many, many incarnations, the Soul and the Higher Self decree or decide that indeed in a certain incarnation Mastery is to be achieved. And it does not depend on what the person does at a conscious level. But in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, one can be changed, and unlimitedness resurrected from within.
Remember that affirmation we gave to you at one time, “I AM the Resurrection and the Life. I AM the Way, the Light and the Truth.”
There are many who are awakening to the Light within. And it may be that in some past life these entities who just seem to spontaneously awaken to Mastery, maybe they put forth all of that effort and energy in a past life, but they came just inches short, so close before they made a transition and had to change physical form.
And so in coming into this incarnation maybe there was only one thing that they needed, one experience. And they may have gone through their whole life in all manner of limitations and everything else until they finally get around to that one experience, and boom! It's triggered. They become Masters. They become extremely loving, compassionate, understanding entities, but unafraid to be the unique individuals they are.
You know, when you leave this plane, do you know that you take a portion of your personality with you? That who you are as a personality, as an ego consciousness, is who you also are in a higher realm to a great extent. Oh, you're much more loving, yes indeed, but there are portions, parts of your ego that you take with you.
You see, there are differences, great differences in the Ascended Beings and the Ascended Masters, and what makes those differences is of course personality, the uniqueness of the individual and their particular experiences and how they have processed those energies.
For how could it be otherwise since it is so upon this plane. How could it be otherwise since no person has experienced the same thing simultaneously as everyone else or anyone else. And that creates a modulation in the energy patterns that make up your total being.
Empowerment Through Encouragement can also mean that when you're in conversation with your friends, with your mate, boyfriends, girlfriends, whoever is in your life, maybe they have an idea of something that they want to do. Rather than form an opinion about the feasibility or whether this is in their best interest or anything like that, why not offer encouragement, such as saying, “By golly, I believe you could do that if you wanted to. Why not give it a try? Go for it. You can do it.”
You see, when you give that kind of energy to people, when you give that kind of encouragement to people, that principle of Life is active that whatever goes out from you comes back to you.
If you are having limited thoughts or feelings about other people in your life, that energy has to return to you. It always returns to the sender. Therefore, wouldn't it be in your best interest (of course, it would), wouldn't it be in your best interest then to hold the highest thoughts, to speak the highest words, to render the grandest assistance you can for anyone.
Why do you think it was that the Christ spoke and said that, if the Roman soldier were to ask one of the Christians to carry his backpack for a mile, then this entity should carry it for two miles? To give more than what was requested. To render a greater assistance only means that greater things come back to you.
When you think of giving money for any purpose whatsoever, charity, whatever it may be, there are times indeed when you require more money to come back to you, and we have seen the blockages that you put up. We have seen what you have created by those loving gestures of sincere support for so many people in your lives. But we've also seen so many times where you have put up the blockages to your own good. So here we are telling you, sharing with you a perspective about what one of those primary blockages has been.
You have wondered why it is that still in some cases with some people, why it is with all the energy that you put out to try to create things, why doesn't it come back?
Well, (1) what we shared with you earlier, the feeling that you have, the power that you have, you've got to maintain Harmony before you can wield greater power. (2) Since you know how to create, you've got to consciously start creating. (3) It is becoming important now for you to hold higher thoughts, higher visions for anyone and everyone in your life.
Now, when you see people, when you see what, as Beloved Great Ascended Master St. Germain describes it, when your see the “human” acting, (We prefer to say when you see the "alter ego" acting, because hu-man is actually a divine word, it is God-man that is the meaning of the word from the perspective of a phonetic language with great power), but when you see the alter ego or the ego acting in a person, cease any judgment about it. Call upon an Ascended Master to hold dominion there and to put their arms around the solar plexus of this person so that no limited negative energy may go forth to harm any part of life whatsoever.
Start turning things over to those who know what to do and how to do it and who are infinitely able to do just that very thing. If, in your own opinion you start remarking about how a person is wrong or this, that or the other thing is wrong or needs correction, or needs this, that or the other, you are in effect by your attention, by that energy of your spoken word, only feeding more energy into it.
The interesting thing from our perspective that we know is a byproduct of this thing that we're talking about now, is that you may likely find yourself speaking less. Not that you don't have important things to say, but you'll no longer be speaking with the limited kinds of beliefs, attitudes, thoughts, experiences and the like that have been going on in your life and in the lives of others for a long time.
Whatever you do, whatever you call forth, qualify that it be sustained forever, for eternity. And qualify that it be qualified by the Ascended Masters' state of consciousness or by the Ascended Masters' Pure White Fire Love Substance from the Great Central Sun that cannot be misqualified in anyway.
When you do that, you remove the risk in a lot of ways of any misqualification of some of the energies which you are beginning to use. Therefore, those things that go out from you are more likely to come back to you more quickly, qualified with greater perfection from your own Higher Self and Beloved Great Soul Being.
There is no person in your life, in your external world, who is an authority for your life, no person whatsoever. You've given your power away to a lot of people and to the authority that they have therefore assumed. But the real Authority has always been within you, your own Higher Self and Beloved Great Soul Being.
The more that you are purified, the more that you call forth the Harmony, the more that you will therefore allow that unlimited part of God that you are to begin functioning more and more in your life, then life does truly become joy. It becomes miraculous, because that is the most natural state for life. It takes far more effort to live in limitation.
Do you know that one of the greatest causes for aging is the energy that is expended holding onto limitations? We're going to repeat that. This is important. One of the greatest causes for aging is the energy expended, wasted, in holding onto limitations -- limited thoughts, feelings, attitudes or beliefs about yourself or others.
It is a very simple matter to choose a different thought. And as you choose higher thoughts with the energies that are here, they cannot help but to evoke and bring forth a greater harmony, more power in your feeling. And therefore as you use this greater power that begins to flow through, it is easy for you to think and feel joyful and happy all the time. And why would you let anything cause you to feel otherwise?
Well, we've observed you. We know the why’s and the wherefore’s of many of those things. It is because you give your power away to it, as if it could affect you in a way that you do not want to be affected. Your very thought of that has been the only thing that has created it to be so.
You may find yourself thinking less, speaking less, feeling less in limitation, therefore experiencing less in limitation. But as you use the power of love within you, through your attention, and focus that loving energy of attention in great gratitude, in love and appreciation and reverence for that part of you that is unlimited, you start becoming more unlimited yourself.
When you decree and ask that all those things that you do in some manner be to the good of all concerned, you will find, just as the one through whom we spoke has found with respect to a little thing that he got recently, you'll find that little miracles begin to manifest. As you express gratitude and appreciation for the small things in your life, your Higher Self will begin vesting you with the trust of greater things.
Your Higher Self, your Beloved Great Soul Being is fully capable in the twinkling of an eye of manifesting or precipitating, if it wanted to, a ton of gold made visible in your hands and use. But how would you use it? How would you use that? Would it only enable you to remain in limitation, or would it truly be one of those things that is to the good of all concerned?
Now, for the most part, most entities don't really understand what that means. They don't really understand, and interestingly, for each person, it may be a different thing. That is why it is far more important for you, rather than giving your power away to anyone or any entity external to your being and the words that they say -- that includes us -- rather than doing that, the most important thing that you can do is the integration and connection with your own Higher Self. Through that you render a far greater service.
Through that you are able to know far greater things than what anyone could share with you on an intellectual level. Through that you certainly don't need as much as what you think you need in terms of reading books or attending classes or anything like that.
But yes, we also know that you're not there yet. Part of our purpose in your lives is to assist you in getting there. We are seeking to set you free as quickly as you are willing to accept it. But at the conscious, at the ego level, you don't fully comprehend what that acceptance really means. The level of trust, the level of faith, the level of joy, of love, of acceptance -- to realize, for example, that there is absolutely no negative thing that could come into your experience that could not be transmuted simply with the energy and the thoughts of love. Absolutely no thing.
Now, what does that mean in terms of activity. Well, through love and connecting with your Higher Self, you also connect with the great joy that is within you and those activities that are uniquely joyful for you. And in that, in the feeling of that joy you are empowering possibilities, grand possibilities into your experience.
We are seeking in this very moment to empower you through encouragement to seek within to know your self, your Real Self. How do you do that? There are lots of ways that have been purported to be “the way.”
Again, you are unique and individual. One way may be similar to others, but you have your own unique and individual way of becoming and living your own Higher Self. Cease asking advice from anything other than from what is already within you. And if you will do that, you will find that the answers come forth into your experience from within you.
Now, are you there? Are you able to get your own answers. For most of you, no, not really; not yet. But you are getting there. There are times when your own Higher Self creates the answer coming in an external way. How do you know the difference? When the answer comes, it almost always is given in a very loving way.
There are times when you are involved with people, and you perhaps meet with someone who has a perspective about you, who “calls you on your stuff,” talks about your issues and this kind of thing. For the most part, for most of you here and for those of you who will hear or read these words at a later time, that is more a projection that they are placing on you rather than the reality of Who You Really Are.
But because you did not have a sufficient energy of Protection of the Tube of White Light, you allowed that energy to affect you and therefore you also are responsible for unconsciously acting on that energy. It may not be the reality of who you are, but it might certainly be the reality of what you unconsciously acted upon.
Call forth the Tube of White Light every day -- three times a day or more often if you need to. Call forth the invocation of the Law of Forgiveness and the Violet Flame. Call forth the harmony, the Perfect Harmony manifest into your feeling world, into your emotional world, into your mental world, into your physical body, into your causal world, into your spiritual world, into the totality of your being, that it harmonize and purify any energy that would seek to disturb or cause discord in any way.
Call forth the Presence to stand guard at all times, and consume instantly anything that seeks to disturb you. And call forth that Guard to be maintained, sustained and self-sustaining.
Do likewise in behalf of every other person that you know. You don't have to name them individually unless you want to, and there are times indeed when it is appropriate to do so. Whatever you ask for yourself, ask the same for every other member of humanity incarnated upon this plane. For whatever you ask for another indeed is far more likely to come to pass for you.
What you often ask for yourself is often because you think you don't have it, therefore it's a need. You are in essence, through that emotional neediness, saying you don't have, and that is what you get from the universe.
Therefore, if you ask for grand and glorious things for other people in your life, whether you want it for you or not, you might interestingly find some grand and glorious things beginning to transpire for you.
Now, every quality has a Beloved Great Member of the Seraphim and/or the Cherubim who is its Director, or who is the embodiment of that quality, who is an entity that goes by the name of that quality. So any person that you know where you see that they need assistance or a rendering of some kind, call forth the entity who is the embodiment of that quality to beam forth the Divine Ray of that quality in behalf of that person.
Prosperity is indeed an entity. Abundance is indeed an entity. Happiness, Joy, Harmony, Peace, Love. All qualities, and indeed almost all nouns of things are also manifested as Great Beings. Therefore, you can call upon the Beings that represent those qualities and things to beam forth the Divine Ray of that thing in behalf of yourself and another person. Therefore, you are rendering a great assistance when you do.
If at the same time you beam forth Violet and White Light for this person, you are also accomplishing a two-fold, perhaps three-fold, wonderful activity in their behalf. And since that energy is flowing through you, it must effect you.
When you surround someone in Violet Light, it helps to purify and cleanse away any accumulation of the negative thoughts and feelings that other people have had about them. You're rendering a great service when you do that, a far greater service than you could render by offering them “advice,” because you don't know the totality of their being and their soul experience and their soul's desires. But if you beam forth the Violet Light and decree that Divine Harmony be maintained for them to the good of all concerned, what a wonderful thing you are rendering there.
We want you to feel the energy of Empowerment and Encouragement. And indeed there are Great Beings who are the holders, the instruments of beaming forth this energy. Of course, the embodiment of Power is also simultaneously the embodiment of great Love; it must be so, because only Love is the energy that can be creative. Only Love is the energy that can truly heal in a permanent way. Therefore, that is one of the reasons that some of the Great Waves of Light have been sustained at a high level.
If for any reason in your own life this high level of energy of Light is showing up anything less than perfection, then call that that energy to be immediately transmuted through the Ascended Masters' Octave into the energy of Perfection, of Victory and Success for whatever is required in your life and in the lives of those dear to you. When you do these kinds of things, when you apply this in your life, what a wonderful difference you're making.
Beloved Masters, we love you greatly. We want these words to assist you greatly this evening indeed. Therefore, we are bringing forth at this time an energy that will help the process of integration so that each one of you will be gently reminded moment by moment, hour by hour, day by day, to remember what was spoken here this evening, the essence of what was shared with you this evening.
It is the Divine Ray of Integration, the Golden Ray of Divine Wisdom and Divine Love beamed forth, surrounding each and every one of your right now to help in this process of integrating what was most important for you of what has been spoken so far this evening.
Allow this process now to fill you with Light. Envision yourself being filled with this Golden Light and being surrounded in the Tube of White Light. And as you do so, give thanks, feel that gratitude, that real, sincere appreciation to your own Beloved Soul Being and Higher Self that you have an opportunity here in the words that we share with you that not a lot of entities have.
There is great Truth being given forth upon this plane, great Truth that is being rendered at a certain level with great Purity. But there are also many who are giving forth energies, words, sayings that unfortunately are not of a high or great Truth.
Be careful in what you allow yourself to hear and what you allow yourself to act upon, to feel, to listen to, to read. Call forth Divine Discernment so that you can differentiate what is in the highest and best interest for you. When you do that, call forth the Ascended Master State of Consciousness to perceive. That will assist you very grandly.
And if you are indeed in an emotional state of calmness, of harmony, it will be far easier for you. You know you cannot very easily connect with the higher realms if you are excited in a negative way (anxious in other words, anxiety), if you're stressed, if you're angry. Oh, there a few of us that can break through that energy field that you've put around yourself and communicate to you.
When you ask for communication from the higher realm, always ask that it be of the Highest and Greatest of Light, Love, Truth and Joy. Ask for specific entities to come forth and they will indeed render forth to you and speak to you -- mostly in thought. Some of you are at a point where you are almost ready to start connecting in a very pure way. If you do so, just give thanks and great gratitude for it.
The last thing that we want to give to you this evening relates simply to giving you a greater encouragement to go after your dreams, your aspirations. You know, there has been a lot of talk around calamities, disasters, shifts in the energies of the Earth and all manner of things that speak of limitation. We ask you to cease putting your energy into that negativity, into that limitation. To start putting your energy into higher, greater, more loving, joyful and happy possibilities, not only for your life but for every other person on this planet and every group of persons, be it a family, be it a city, be it a nation.
Issue your decrees with authority as if you really could do it, that what you were decreeing was really going to come to pass. Speak as if every word were going to happen the next moment as soon as you said it. Speak only what you want to experience yourself. Stop all thoughts and feelings of limitation, and you become unlimited. Easy to say, but yes we know that you exist in this soup of negativity, so to speak.
Great Beings of Light are now beginning to cleanse even down to the physical level of the atmosphere that surrounds this planet. You can call forth the Great Blue Lightning to cleanse and purify the atmosphere over this city, over this nation, over this planet, and it will begin to do so. Sometimes this will in fact manifest as the physical lightning that you know of in thunderstorms and the like. But it is a higher energy, a more etheric energy.
And when you use the Light, the Light cannot be used for harm. There are those that think they can, but the only harm that it does is that the Light goes out and like a mirror comes back to them, qualified with whatever they sent it forth. Therefore, it comes right back to the person who sent it forth.
When you beam forth Light then, when you beam forth the Light of Divine Truth and Divine Justice to be brought about in the Congress, in the Government of this country, start realizing that you, too, must begin living your life with greater integrity, greater honesty, with the manifestation of greater Truth. It is important for you just as much as it is to anyone else.
But hold to your dreams, Beloved Masters. Hold to those things that bring you joy. Hold to the possibility. Be encouraged that, yes, you can achieve that which you desire. You are moving into a space and time of higher energy, of greater ability, of wonderful possibilities manifesting for your realities.
Take advantage now of the opportunities of cleansing and purification in a gentle and loving way so that you can also take advantage of these opportunities for the expansion of the Light and the greater Unlimitedness that is unfolding.
You can do it. You would not be here, you would not even be hearing or reading these words, if it were not immediately within the realm of possibility for your life. No matter what it may appear that your experiences have been recently or otherwise, by virtue of either what you have achieved in this lifetime or in particular the most recent past three lifetimes, no matter what the appearance may be of what is going on in your life now, you are ready!
You are ready that in the blink of an eye you could have that shift and be the Master, be the Master that you already are. You've only forgotten. You are remembering. And in that twinkling of an eye even your physical body will likewise be transformed into the Light, into the Purity of who you really are, not in a term of physical death, such as was necessary at one time to achieve the Ascension, but more in the context simply of as you physically see yourself now you are just transformed. You become Lighter.
We love you greatly, but the time has come now that we must depart. While our words cease with you in this manner, our love goes with you as you go forth this evening. So we say unto you therefore:

Benediction

“Go forth this evening, empowered and encouraged by what you have heard and/or read here, that it may assist you in this next moment, in the next day, the next week, month, year, that all of which you create, manifest, desire and experience would become of higher and greater Light, Love and Truth on your pathway, that it will truly be to the good of all concerned, and it would be to the glory of the God Being that you are, the All That Is All In All.
Go forth also with the knowingness that we accompany you, that we are indeed playing together in dreamstate, that play may become one of the manifestations in your experience, that as you allow more of the joy, that those natural playful tendencies will emerge forth from you. And go forth with Divine Wisdom, Divine Love, manifest through the Divine Harmony into your experience, that you experience only the Perfection that has always been wanted for you in all things, in all people, in all circumstances, in all time for eternity.”

Though we leave you now, as always, we're only a loving thought away.So be it.

DISCOURSE IV
PERSONAL EMPOWERMENT THROUGH KNOWLEDGE, WISDOM AND VALIDATION
August 23, 1992

We are going to continue with the topic called Empowerment, and we want you once again to take a deep breath, relax for a moment, close your eyes, be in this space, be in this time. Allow yourself to be calm, to be peaceful, for indeed there is a great Light that is coming forth into this place to assist in the integration of knowledge, of understanding, and of wisdom, concurrent with a great rendering of service to each and every one of you here that you may carry forth a greater Light with you into your daily activities and into the experience of those that come into your world, as it were, in the coming weeks.

Invocation

“Beloved Great I AM Presence, Beloved God, Mother/Father, All That Is, indeed we give thanks and great praise and adoration this evening to that Truth that is coming forth upon this plane, no longer filtered by human opinion, but coming forth into that great Divine Manifestation into each and every person's life, and with the Wisdom that is already within and with the Knowledge that is already within, may that Truth therefore be validated into their experience in a most wonderful, joyful way indeed. So be it.”

This evening we want to speak to you a little bit about Empowerment Through Knowledge, Wisdom and Validation. This is more in the context of personal empowerment. Some things are rather obvious in that you know that when you have, for example, been seeking to master a certain thing, it required you to learn certain knowledge. And when you finally master that thing, how joyful, how wonderful you felt.
You have all begun what might be called the final Mastery of Spiritual Knowledge in order to achieve that very joyful and wonderful feeling within of truly knowing who you are, not conjecture, not an intellectualization, not just words, but in the feeling, the absolute Knowingness within.
This evening this special Light that is coming in is to assist in a further integration of what you have already been exposed to in terms of knowledge so that it may indeed assist in that absolute knowing of a feeling within.
In that regard, for those of you here and for those who will hear or read these words at a later time, each and every one of you at some time during this evening are going to certainly feel a great energy coming into your being. As you perceive energy indeed it will therefore be rendered unto you very shortly. If it takes you a little while, that's all right.
Now, knowledge then of what? Well, certainly in your three-dimensional experience, which is one of the buzz words that is often going around -- we would simply where you are right now -- you've gone to school, perhaps some of you have gone to college to acquire knowledge, and it has definitely assisted you in certain regards to being able to work at this level, to play at this level, to make your sustenance, your life. But there is a greater knowledge, of course, that is coming forth, and that knowledge is not necessarily what would be read in books. It is not what could be put into words. It is contained in the Light that is coming forth upon this plane.
Each one of you by virtue of what you've achieved already in this incarnation has certainly started feeling the energies as they are peaking this year, and you've started noticing some differences in your life.
Oh, there may be some areas that seem to have the same old kinds of problems in a way, but that is gradually dissolving away as you do what is within your realm of values to accomplish the solution to those things that you call problems.
We would also say that from a great perspective, the mere focus on a thing in your life as if it were an issue or a problem, is feeding your energy into it or life into it so that's what it is for you.
The more that you simply use the Divine Ray of Love, this great Wave of Light that has the qualities of Divine Love, and to simply begin expressing Love for your own Higher Self and Soul Being, the more you will simply find changes taking place in your life for which you might not have a logical explanation. Just simply accept them; changes even in the physical bodies of many entities who would say, “That's not possible.” Their decree or their spoken word certainly come back to them.
As you have each been speaking with us, both in attending these gatherings and in that which is dreamstate where we speak with you considerably more at length, we have indeed been imparting knowledge to you. As you learn a thing at the intellectual level, your Higher Self sets about to create the integration of that knowledge into Wisdom, and it does so through experience.
So if in your evolution you were gaining knowledge about issues, knowledge about problems, your Higher Self through the higher mental body created therefore experiences so that you could experience problems, issues and the like. That's what your thoughts were about, and why? Because you didn't really know much better. That's what you were taught. That was the perspective that you were given; that was kind of how your brain was wired.
But each of you over the past three years has been undergoing a rather tremendous genetic change. The physical body for the most part still looks pretty much the same. But this genetic changing is changing the DNA structure within so that no longer do you need to look at things in a context of problems or in a context of issues. You're beginning to embrace the closing of the door of the past. The past no longer is.
Now those caught up in social consciousness certainly don't want you to do that. Beam them Light, beam them Love; let them be where they are. But there are parts of your past even this very evening that a door will be closed unto it. But a door closed in such a way so that you experience greater joy and greater happiness.
It doesn't mean that anyone is going to leave your life, it doesn't mean that you are going to lose anything. It is a door closing on attitudes and beliefs about yourself.
You see, as we have shared with you many times, it all begins and ends within. To take advantage of what has been referred to as the Great Shift is simply to be aware of a shift of consciousness within you.
There are many who want and believe that the Great Shift is going to bring about physical change. It may for them. But it does not necessarily mean that the whole world is going to be turned topsy-turvy.
There are many who will argue with you and say that they have been given this information by Great Beings of Light. If you were to investigate most of them, you would probably find that at the time that the information came through, they themselves were going through a great emotional stress. They perhaps were not as clear as they could have been.
Does it mean that nothing is going to happen? Certainly not, because so much of humanity doesn't understand the nature of their power, the nature of thought and feeling, and the speed-up that is taking place.
Now, with this knowledge, and this is not the first time that we have shared this with you, but with this knowledge that thought and feeling are going to begin manifesting more quickly and that humanity is creating a lot of negativity because they don't understand it, the biggest portion of them, you have a responsibility.
You here, and those that will hear or read these words at a later time have a great responsibility. You are the carriers of the Torch of Light to share this information with those who may ask questions of you; to speak not in terms dogmatically or of what one “must do,” but you can certainly talk in terms of your experience, what you have learned. With the knowledge you have gained through speaking with us and with others that you've spoken to, you have certainly had experiences of how powerful your thought and feeling can create realities into your experience. And as a result of the thought and feeling creating a reality, an experience, you have an emotional response to those experiences, and that represents wisdom to the Soul.
We have shared with you the importance, therefore, that when you are experiencing the same emotion over and over and over, what your Soul/Spirit was trying to get you to do was simply feel it so you could own it and be done with it. And we've also shared with you that those here who are hearing these words and those who will hear or read them at a later time are not working on the limited emotions of humanity. There may be a few who will hear these words at a later time that are still caught up in emotional roller coasters, intense feelings that seem to be uncontrollable, and there is much that needs to be rendered in their behalf.
But you as the carrier of the Light, the Torch of Light, must begin using the tools that you've been given more in a committed fashion, because a lot of what transpires on this plane depends on you.
Certainly your own reality does, but so too does the nature of a lot of the evolution that is happening on this plane. We put things in the context of suggestions and requests. There are other Great Beings of Light who might not be so gentle in the way they present things, but it does not mean they are unloving, not at all.
The Great Entity Ra, a most wonderful, powerful being indeed. Many have likened and felt that experience from Ra and that very powerful, what might be called masculine energy. Some of the Seraphim, the Cherubim and the Elohim, when they beam forth their Rays, since they know that the Real You is eternal and that your life is eternal, they, in a manner of speaking, are very detached and do not care that this Light is coming forth and what it may do in specific individuals' lives because the evolution that is necessary at this time requires a rendering of the Light of Love, a beaming forth of the Light of Love.
Now, in your own lives, when you've come into contact with a desire, many of you have faced what you call blockages, problems, issues, challenges and the like whenever you've had a desire for something. It seemed that everything within you that could block that desire came up. That was your Higher Self merely showing you what needed to be done for you to truly have this thing that you say that you want.
Your Higher Self takes you at your word and goes about seeking to prepare you and the circumstances in your external word so that you can have this thing that you want.
Many times you decree and desire things be instantaneous, but you are not, at the conscious level, sufficiently prepared to handle the responsibility of thought and feeling, of every thought and feeling manifesting instantaneously, because the Law will respect no difference there. Whatever thought, whatever feeling, will manifest as experience.
Give thanks, therefore, that you still have the Grace of God, and indeed we would say unto you that part of the qualities of the next peaking of the Great Waves of Light for this year is indeed Divine Grace. But Divine Grace is a little bit different from the Grace of God delay mechanism, which has delayed the manifestation of thought and feeling. Divine Grace will help you be more aware. It's another form of what might be called White Light.
We urge you, we suggest to you, we recommend that you do indeed take the time every day to fill yourself with Light, not just once during the day. Endeavor to do it many times during the day. Endeavor to think a loving thought about your Higher Self once an hour.
We therefore decree in your assistance that an Ascended Master shall accompany you. He is going to be right beside you every moment of every day until you get it, so that every hour you will begin thinking lovingly of your Higher Self. This is a very loving and gentle reminder that this Great Being of Light, this Ascended Master, will bring to you. It is for your assistance, it is because of who you are, it is because of what you've asked for, and it's because of the energies that are here at this time, and how you must now apply the knowledge that you have gained.
Now, if you consciously choose to apply the knowledge that you have gained for that which you think and feel is joyful in your value system, then you are creating joyful experiences and they will certainly come to you. If you do not apply the knowledge directly out of choice, your Higher Self does so automatically, so that you can integrate it into Wisdom.
Some of you indeed have been through in this lifetime some intense experiences at one time or another, emotionally intense, perhaps physically intense, mentally intense, whatever. You didn't know why in some of those situations, but what it really boiled down to was an experience that was required on the basis of knowledge that you had gained, and that knowledge needed to be integrated into wisdom so that it could become Absolute Knowing.
We've used some simple examples with regards to integrating a thing into Wisdom. What does Wisdom mean? Well, it is the emotion that is recorded within your Soul. It means that you have recorded within you knowledge and wisdom together that becomes Divine Wisdom so that you know if you do a certain thing, say a certain thing, behave in a certain way, that there will be certain consequences to it, it will bring back certain results. And the results are experiences that evoke emotion.
If you were, for example, to haughtily walk up to a 6'8", 300 lb. football player and slap him in the face (we do not suggest that you try this), you might find that he could easily get upset with you. And if he slaps you in the face you might go sprawling for 25 to 30 yards (some of you). So, with that thought and that understanding already integrated into wisdom, already, you don't need to go out and create that as an experience.
Well, every day you're gaining knowledge in everything that you see. And you are empowering yourselves at the personal level with that knowledge that you gain.
The Golden Light of Divine Wisdom and Divine Love also has a secondary purpose of integrating knowledge directly into wisdom. Now you can use either the Golden Light or you can use the pure Brilliant White Light. But do begin filling yourselves with Light so that you don't have to think about needing to integrate knowledge into wisdom; you can do so automatically with the Light. It's easy, it's fun, it's joyful. And there are a lot of very wonderful secondary side effects that occur from filling yourself with Light.
While you are physically incarnated upon this plane, and for most of you here and those who will hear or read these words at a later time, the opportunity is that your life can indeed expand into hundreds, perhaps even thousands of years if you choose to do so. You can be in the Ascended Master state of consciousness while here. You can simply elongate your life by changing certain beliefs systems and attitudes. Or you may, some of you, choose to go through the entire Ascension process and leave the physical embodiment to go into a much, much greater Unlimitedness.
Whatever the choice is and whatever the level at which that choice is made, you are here now. Now is your moment of power and empowerment to apply the knowledge that you've gained in this lifetime, to create out of conscious choice those things and experiences that you desire, that in your value system means joy and happiness to you.
As long as you're here on this plane, it's a lot easier to create joy and happiness, and it takes a lot less energy and a lot less effort than it does to create the limitations. Now, that is a bit of knowledge that would be worth creating some experiences so that you can see that it works.
So in this very moment, we want each one of you to just momentarily feel a Light that is coming in now. Great Beings of Light are beaming forth a Great Wave of Light of Divine Love for you, each and every one of you. And if it's someone who is hearing or reading these words at a later time, it will happen in that time.
Feel that Love coming in now and start feeling that Love for your Higher Self, for your Beloved Great Soul Being, for that part of you that gave you Life and being and consciousness. It is the Real You. It is the You that created the body and the mind and the intellect and the opportunities and relationships, the automobiles, the homes, the gadgets.
Everything that you experience, that part of you created for you out of the great Love for all of life that you feel. And at the conscious level, at the intellectual level, your responsibility is to feel and return that Love to Life for the life that you are. And in doing that, within three days time a wonderful miracle will transpire in each and every one of you, in your experience. And we will not permit it to be blocked. So be it.
In the application of spiritual knowledge, most of you already have everything that you need already within. We have sometimes shared with you that you don't need another book, you don't need another class, and in a certain perspective you don't even need to talk to entities like us, although we enjoy sharing with you and we realize that from the conscious perspective you're not where you'd like to be. Hence we do have a purpose in your lives. But from our perspective, we see things in a different way. And see is not even the word; it is perceive or sense, know. We KNOW who you are, who you really are.
You are grand God beings who chose many hundreds and thousands of years ago, and in some cases millions of years ago, the human experience. And you went to the depths of it, just as dirty as it's ever been, and you've risen out of that because of the great desire in your Soul to no longer be in limitation.
You are on your way Home, but Home is a state of consciousness; it's not a place. But in that state of consciousness you create the place because in that state of consciousness you are truly unlimited, Unlimited. The word does not do justice to the reality that exists.
Now, the wonderful thing that is transpiring upon this plane is that you are beginning to integrate into Absolute Knowing more of the knowledge of that Divine Self that you are and all that Unlimitedness that you truly are, such that you begin to experience Unlimited Joy and Love in your own life. In so doing, you are participating in the grand unfolding that is happening here. And your personal experience may be one thing, but at the Higher Self each one of you is contributing to the evolution of every other person on this planet who for any reason whatsoever, either consciously or at the soul level may not be quite as evolved.
It's not always appropriate to think that someone is unevolved just because of whatever experience they may be having. We've shared that with you to help you remove any thoughts or feelings of judgment or better than, because in evolving into the higher frequencies of Love that are coming in, you move away from any opinion or judgment about anyone. And no matter what the intellect may argue the expression of an opinion is still a judgment.
And, yes, we did share with you earlier that when you are given the opportunity to share with another, that you express things in terms of “in my experience,” “in my opinion,” and that is permissible. But what we're talking about here is having opinions about another person and what their experience may be and whether or not that means that they are less evolved or more evolved than another person.
At the intellectual level, you cannot know; you do not know. And if you did know, of what real importance is it. Look within your own being.
Remember when the Christ spoke and said words such as “How can you remove the mote from your brother's eye when there's a beam in your own eye?” We would carry that one step further, however, and let you know that though there are beings, entities incarnated upon this plane who have their issues, as you have termed them, problems or challenges, each one of you, and they, are masters at some level of your life.
Ask your own Beloved Soul Being and Higher Self to begin bringing to you the conscious awareness of that which you have already mastered. From that, you can feel empowered, empowered in a knowing that yes, you've come a long way. Ask your Higher Self to bring the awareness of this to you directly in consciousness, not in experience, not indirectly in someone else telling you, but directly in consciousness.
What kinds of things would you master? What have your experiences been? You have mastered all manner of experiences related to truth, spiritual principles, the laws of life, the principles of life. Most of you have mastered far more than you possibly could understand at this time.
There are, for example, some Ascended Masters who are working on mastering certain aspects of reality where they are, but you have already in a prior life and a prior experience mastered that. You're actually bringing it into this level to help bring those frequencies of vibration to this level.
Is it possible that an Ascended Master could be working on something that you've completed? Yes, it could. It's rare, but it does happen.
Also, it's important for you to realize in a certain understanding, there are many truths being expressed upon this plane that are relative truths, meaning, as we've expressed to you many times before, it's the truth of the entity through whom it comes; it's not necessarily your truth.
Use your wonderful gift of discernment. Ask within. Start using this in order to gain your freedom, to gain your independence, your sovereignty and your self-dominion, because otherwise, with the energies that are coming in now, it delays your pathway to Mastery.
We want you to be the Masters that you are, because we see the level of the Light of Love that is expanding within you. And we want that brought into your personal physical experience. But what we want and what you allow and you choose are sometimes worlds apart.
We can see something, for example, coming up into your experience, and we could say unto you, as we've said unto a couple of entities sometimes, you're about to come into a large sum of money, because we see that poised and just ready to unfold. And you don't realize that with a thought, such as, “Where is it?” that it immediately starts drifting away, and it's delayed.
If instead you would simply say words like, “Thank you that I have this manifest in my hands and use now, and if not this now, then this now. And if not this now, then this now.” Now is ongoing. And as you continue to say that, to acknowledge that you have it now, you speed up the process through which it can physically come into your hands and use.
Physical healing, same thing. In the etheric realm, the pattern, as some entities have called it, the blueprint for your physical body's perfection, already exists. It has always been there. It has never been anything different. It is only that with your conscious thoughts and feelings and misqualified energy that has clothed the physical body with energy that outpictures into the form that you presently occupy, in a manner of speaking. Is there anything wrong with that form? No, because you're learning how powerful your thoughts can be. You're learning how powerful your feelings are. You're learning what it means to be powerful.
Your Higher Self, because of the pathway that you're on, will not give you any more power of feeling than what you can rightfully and rightly qualify, so as not to bring destruction upon yourself or any other form of life.
Now, you can bypass that, and some entities do. They project forth very limited thoughts and feelings about people, objects in their life and whatnot, and clothe it with that energy, and it responds with that thought and that feeling. But by putting forth positive thoughts and positive feelings, you already know what that's going to create.
Then comes the tricky part, the application, the doing of it. You're in the three-dimensional world, the world of activity so that you could act out what you know, do it physically, and therefore reap the results in the physical world. But since the physical world is at a much, much slower rate of vibration, you experience this phenomena called time, and concurrently therefore, the Grace of God mechanism, the delay between the thought and the feeling manifesting as reality.
Every once in a while, your Higher Self brings to you a rather quick and/or instantaneous manifestation. Decree that the instantaneous manifestations will be only those of joy and happiness. You have the right to do so.
What are you going to do about all the people in your life, social consciousness, all the rest of humanity? Beam them Light and Love. Do not ask for anything for yourself if you are not willing to ask for it for all of humanity. In that way, it will help you determine more correctly what might be called “the right and proper things to ask for,” “the right and proper way to ask for things.”
And realize too that it must be sincere. It really must be sincere. There must be a feeling of humility and sincerity. There have been many times that you've asked for things and you've gotten them. Maybe they didn't turn out like you thought they were going to. Love it anyway. With that love that you give to everything that you experience, if it is a thing for which something greater can come to you, then you are loving the lesser away from you. And if it is a thing that brings you great joy, then you are loving it longer into your experience. Whatever is most appropriate will transpire, but love is the key. It always has been.
Take a moment now to feel the energy that is coming in, that Divine Energy of Love to assist you in creating and manifesting a reality that is significantly different from what a lot of the rest of humanity may experience.
You know, each one of you has come a long way in your experiences upon this plane. You are endeavoring to heal, you are endeavoring to become more prosperous, you are endeavoring to become younger, you are endeavoring to become more successful and joyful and playful. And there is no-thing for which you have a sincere desire that it cannot come quickly into your experience, very quickly with the energy that is here, and by your commitment. You are learning now how to stop putting up delays and blockages and what-not.
Now, while from a certain perspective we have to use those terms, and we prefer not to because we don't want you putting energy into them, in order to assist you to move further we have to let you know where you are, what you're going through and why, and then how to get beyond it, because it's the application in your own personal experience that's going to set you free.
There are a lot of entities who talk about the hundredth monkey phenomena, or the fact that this Earth is moving into a space and time where if enough people reach a certain state of consciousness then everyone will just all of a sudden be enlightened, as if they didn't have to do anything on their own. We must render there a certain correction of a misunderstanding.
You see, each person is uniquely and individually responsible for their experience, and they are uniquely and individually responsible for their own evolution and achievement, either of the Ascended Master state of consciousness, the Ascension process, or whatever it is that they experience personally in their emotional and mental fields.
You receive great assistance, yes indeed, from the Great Beings of Light who are here to render assistance to you. And you receive the Light that is coming forth to assist you in your progress, on your pathway, and there are many Beings of Light that if at any time you were to trip and fall or what-not, they are there beside you to assist you along. But you have the responsibility for your own evolution; it has always been that way in every realm, in every dimension. And it shall always be that way.
There's a great desire on the part of some individuals not to have to take responsibility for themselves or their own evolution. It is as if they can let it go and someone else is going to do it for them. That is not a truth. That is a desire, but it is a misunderstanding of the Laws of Life, of the Principles of Life. It only keeps them dependent on someone else doing it for them, because that is what they are giving their attention to, on being dependent on someone else raising their frequency of vibration, for example, or applying the truth, the knowledge that they learned.
Now, we want you to be empowered this evening with Joy and Happiness, with Light, with Love, with Peace and Harmony. Those Rays are all being beamed forth to you. But some of you may come into contact with ones who will express certain things, such as we have just shared with you. Do as best you can if you feel the need to speak, to perhaps assist them in shifting their perspective. But do so in a way that does not invalidate them, because validation is a very important part of your personal empowerment and of your rendering of empowerment to others who come into your life, whether it is simply to validate what a person is feeling or to validate what they think is their truth. How do you do that? You just simply acknowledge that that is what they think is their truth. You need not make them wrong for thinking. You need not make them wrong for desiring that it be a certain way. But perhaps you can render a great assistance in saying something like, “Apply this principle that I know works, because I've applied it and I've achieved consistently in the application of this.” Maybe you can help them. There are a lot of entities that require assistance upon this plane.
Many of you have experienced emotional invalidation as a child, as an infant, as an adolescent, even now perhaps, not having your feelings acknowledged or perhaps even not acknowledging yourself what you're feeling. Begin to validate and acknowledge yourself, and those who come into your experience, and you will find that what goes out from you comes back to you, and it comes back to you many times over. And if you are rendering forth a validation rather than a judgment or a criticism, you can be sure that it will come back to you in a very loving, joyful way.
There are Great Beings of Light who stand ready upon your call, upon your sincere call, putting forth your energy to render great assistance to all upon this plane, to bring forth Light to assist many upon this plane. Much talk is given about the timing of certain events that may be manifesting physically, and we would say unto you that that too, while certainly a possibility, may take some time before it unfolds completely.
Yes, there are storms. Yes, there are earthquakes. Yes, there are volcanos. Yes, there is drought. Yes, there are floods. They exist. It's part of the reality that is here. But it is not necessarily a part of your conscious experience. Do not feed it more energy. Empower others to do the same.
One of the worst things, from our perspective, that has happened upon this plane has been the use of the media, radio, television and newspapers to bring forth only negativity, and thereby contributing most greatly to the demise of every society upon this planet. When people give their attention only to negativity, they don't realize they are feeding their energy into it.
The Ascended Masters want to come forth. They want to walk upon this planet again. But let us pose this to you. If you were to walk, say, to a zoo. And in this zoo was a cage that contained loud, starving, hungry lions tearing at each other all the time, would you want to walk in with those lions? So, too, the Great Beings of Light look upon this planet and see a lot of lions here. They're not particularly interested in coming forth just yet. Say, “I am the Presence preparing the way for those greatly beloved Ascended Masters, the Great Ones, the Archangels and the Cosmic Beings, whose assistance I request and whose presence I request be made visible and manifest upon this planet once again and sustained from henceforth.”
You are the Presence preparing the way, and you are doing so by applying knowledge to gain wisdom, by validating yourself and the others in your life, by empowering yourself with Truth, not just relative truth, not just what you read and hear, but by looking within, checking within with your own Higher Self as infinitely and intimately aware of the greater Truth, not just the relative truth that you're trying to embrace, but the real Principles of Life, that when you apply them they always work.
A story was told about an entity who bought a computer, had great difficulty setting this thing set up because they had to learn a different language, had to learn what the laws of the computer were. But once those laws were learned, then the computer did wonderful, wonderful things and made life much, much easier.
You too are privileged to know the Principles of Life. Life is a great computer, and as you learn its Laws it will do wonderful, wonderful things for you. You already know enough of those Principles that in applying them you can create miraculous events in your life.
Be a Lightplayer and be joyful in the process of playing with the Light, and you're going to find that Divine Rays of Harmony and the Divine Rays of Humor manifesting into your experience, not in what you call cosmic jokes, but in just simply the joy and happiness of living, of life itself, that all is alive with the knowledge and the consciousness of God, the All That Is All In All, and that everything has Intelligence, everything, and that you can communicate with it, that you do so with your thoughts and feelings about it.
When you beam forth Light into a physical object, you're beginning to communicate with it. If simultaneously you have thoughts and feelings of Love, of Perfection, of Victory, of Success, guess what you're creating? Powerful God-beings that you are, and always have been. Awake. Awake, awaken, each and every one of you. Awaken now to who you are, and cease the thoughts of limitation. Cease the thoughts and feelings of misqualified energies.
We love you greatly, but the time has come that we must depart this evening. So we want you once again to become quiet, to close your eyes, take a deep breath for a moment.

Benediction

“Unto the All, we render these, Thy children, into Thy Loving Arms, Thy Loving Hands. Take each one and impart into each one the fullness of Thy Glory, the fullness of the Knowing of Thy Unlimitedness, the fullness of the application, even in this realm in which they find themselves existing in this time, in time as it is understood to be. And impart into each one the integration of all that knowledge that has been accumulated in this and prior lives, that it may from this day forward be integrated directly into wisdom automatically, instantaneously, so that it may be lived as Truth to create far greater experiences of Joy and Happiness, of Light and Love, of Peace and Harmony, not only in their experience, but in the experiences of those with whom they are privileged to come into contact.
Beloved Father/Mother God, All That Is, as each one of these go upon their way, beam forth through Thy Great Messengers of Light, Thy Great Light to accompany them, that not one single hair upon their head would be harmed or damaged in any way whatsoever as a result of any unfolding upon this plane created by another individual. Surround each one in Thy Invincible Light and maintain it forever to Thy Glory. So be it.”

We love you greatly, and though we leave at this time and this understanding, as always, we're only a loving thought away. So be it.

DISCOURSE V
PERSONAL EMPOWERMENT THROUGH SUCCESS, VICTORY and ACHIEVEMENT
August 30, 1992

Beloved Masters, a most hearty good evening to you this evening. We bid you welcome once again to this place and to this time. We're going to be continuing in our discussion with you this evening on Empowerment. Indeed. So we want you, we invite you to become quiet, close your eyes for a moment.

Invocation

“Beloved Great All, the All That Is All In All, that Great I AM Presence Unlimited in all of life, divinely expressed and individuated in each of those here and those who will hear or read these words at a later time, we do indeed give thanks for the great truth coming forth upon this plane, for those who are finding the inspiration, the motivation to seek the Truth and apply it in their lives, and lift themselves and all of life into the Light, into the greater Unlimitedness that is possible upon this plane at this time.
We give thanks for all of those in the seen and unseen world, being an important part of the unfolding that is transpiring here. And we give thanks for each individual, that no matter what their life appears to be, they are important, they are needed for this unfolding, and they are working diligently, either consciously or while asleep, to endeavor to bring forth this great unfolding.
We give thanks that the words indeed this evening will assist those here and those who will hear or read them at a later time to achieve in their own life some measure of some success and victory in whatever terms that may be for the individual. So be it.”

Success, Victory and Achievement. We want to give you a little perspective on that this evening that will assist you in these coming days as to where you might be, what you might be going through, where you are, where you want to go, and the like.
The purpose of any physical incarnation is to avail oneself of the opportunity to achieve the Ascension. We repeat, the purpose of any incarnation is to avail oneself of the opportunity to achieve the Ascension. In the context therefore of what each one of you, and those who will hear or read these words at a later time, have been through lifetime after lifetime, your Higher Self, your Soul-Spirit, realizing what needed to be accomplished, what needed to be worked on, every lifetime represented an opportunity to come into contact with Truth, the Great Truth of the Universe, the Laws of Life if you want to call them that, so that you could therefore then elect and choose consciously to make that the direction, the goal, the purpose of your life.
Too many entities get wrapped up in materiality, relationships and other endeavors as the purpose of their life. Not that that is anything that is, shall we say, not appropriate. But from the perspective let us say of the greater Unlimitedness that is within you and all that your Higher Self wants for you, the conscious self, to experience, it is always put in that context of “Seek ye first the Kingdom of Heaven, and all of these things will added unto you.”
The greatest success that you will ever achieve in any incarnation will be the Absolute Knowing of who you really are. Through that, all of these things that we have shared with you over these past years, all of the possibilities of Superconsciousness, all of the possibilities of the Ascended Master state of consciousness, all of that becomes a reality for you. It becomes real, it becomes the truth that you live.
At the present time, you have been on a pathway that has brought you into an intellectual awareness of truth. Now, your pathway is one where you are beginning to have the opportunities to apply that truth so that it is no longer conjecture, but that it becomes real to you because you use it in your life to create the manifestations that you desire. Those manifestations are more than 99% motivated from ego, and in many cases from what we would call alter ego, because it represents that which you want that really is still imperfect and limited.
As long as you have a desire, it will bring you back to this plane, one way or another, or the risk is that it would bring you back. So it is important for you to achieve success in life. It is important for you that each time a desire comes up, if that desire is indeed intense, that you let that desire motivate you to action, to do something to apply the knowledge that you have in order to achieve, in order to bring into your experience the desires of your heart.
There is a unique thing, however, that is happening at this time, such that the desires that are motivated primarily out of the ego are rapidly losing their energy because the atmosphere around this planet is being cleansed of that limited energy. And the energy that is coming forth upon this plane is that of Divine Love. This quite naturally is going to have an automatic raising effect for every entity on this planet.
When you therefore connect with the desires within you, one of the things that is necessary for you to do is to discern if your desire is a desire of the heart, or if it's a desire of alter ego. There is an easy way to discern the difference.
If what you desire is to the good of all concerned and doesn't need intellectual justification and if, in the having of this thing, you can also want the same thing for everyone else, then you're motivated from what might be called a desire of the heart. We'll give you a few examples.
Desires of the heart often express themselves qualitatively rather than quantitatively. You being the individuated expression of God the All That Is All In All, Unlimited as you are, the Real You, have the responsibility of quantizing the qualitative nature of desire.
So, for example, what has been the experience in your life and what would you call success? For many, it is that they desire a greater sense of security. They quantify that in the context often of a sum of money, a size of income, the kind of home that they may have, the kind of car that they may drive. In some way that represents security.
Sometimes you say that you want prosperity, which often equates then to similar, almost the same things -- a sum of money, the income, etc. All of these represent the desires of the heart, most truly. Why? Because it is only natural as the God-beings that you are to experience abundance everywhere that you exist, because everywhere that you have ever existed, exist or ever will exist is filled with the Pure Energy and Substance of God, the All That Is All in All.
So, with the energies that are here now, you are kind of dealing with an adjustment, an adjustment of the way that you've been thinking, the attitude about how you create. Now, you're needing to create with Love, and in cooperation with an unfolding that is taking place here.
So we're going to be giving you several affirmations this evening that will be of great assistance, both in determining the nature of your desires and calling them forth, and in ascertaining what is appropriate and empowering through the Energies that are here now, those things to come forth into your experience.
First affirmation. For anything that you desire, you might want to say this: “Mighty I AM Presence, make this desire the Victory of the Ascended Masters' Divine Plan Fulfilled, to the good of all concerned, to the Glory of God. So be it.”
Now, there are many things that you are coming into contact with by virtue of the energies that are here (the you here that we're referring to is primarily all of humanity) -- possibilities such as extraterrestrial visitations, the Photon Belt, the Great Light and the Great Waves of Light that are being beamed forth by the Seraphim, the Cherubim and the Elohim; phenomena such as earthquakes and storms, volcanic eruptions; changes in the social, political and economic strata. All of these might be more be referred to as physical phenomena that are an outpicturing of the qualities of humanity’s thoughts and feelings about itself.
You, as the individuated expression of God, are learning to gain dominion over physical phenomena so that you can begin to create and experience more of the Perfection that your own Beloved Great Soul Being wants for you. And, the desires of your heart that come to you represent what defines fulfillment and success and achievement for you, and it's very different from anyone else.
We often speak in general terms even when we speak to specific entities, out of necessity, because to be too specific with the energies that are here in the context of speaking of a future would not serve you, because you are no less than a God. And certainly, by virtue of being incarnate upon this plane, it took great courage for you to experience this dimension, this adventure. And there are many in the Unseen World who have never incarnated, and so therefore they do not have the richness of the experience here that you have. In another unfolding, in another time, perhaps that will come forth for them.
But you have chosen a most wonderful and grand experience. What you don't realize is that part of the purpose for coming into this experience was to bring that Perfection that existed in the higher dimensions into this dimension, into this physical reality.
Along the way you got lost. Now you're seeking to find your way “back home,” as what some entities call it. They are seeking to rid themselves of certain limitations in terms of thoughts, feelings, attitudes and beliefs through whatever modalities of healing feel appropriate to them. You beliefs around any modality of healing will have a lot to do with your experience of it.
If a person is firmly entrenched and believes that the only way for them to heal the physical body is by going to visit a doctor, then it is pointless to try to change that belief because many people do not want to change their beliefs. They do not want the responsibility, for that is unfolding upon this plane for those who are on a pathway of Mastery and Ascension, because that means taking charge of the totality of your life.
The success that you have achieved up to this point, whether it be simply that you have gained intellectual awareness of the Principles of Life, or whether you have actually started to have manifestations and miracles in your life, that success depends on your specific application of the Principles of Life in your life and activity, in the achievement of your desires. And furthermore, as you make an achievement, as you experience a success, it empowers you to a greater knowing of the Unlimitedness that within you. No matter where you are in terms of experience at whatever facet of life, you have the opportunity to move forward to achieve success.
Now, how difficult does your life appear to be? Are you having difficulties in health? In finances? In relationships? Employment? Your feelings about yourself? No matter what area of your life you would like to see an improvement in, it is as if you were going on a journey, and that journey begins with a small step.
We often use the analogy that one of the things that you want to do is go to New York, which represents let's say the spiritual ideal of Unlimitedness. But you're a long way from New York.
Most entities don't know where they are. So we shared with them one of the ways to know where you are is to simply take a look at your life. What are you experiencing? That will tell you what your truth is, where you are in terms of the truth that you are living.
Some of you are very highly evolved in some areas and have very little evolvement in others at the conscious level. From the Soul's perspective, it's not about time.
So we've given you tools to apply, so that no matter where you are in your consciousness you can beam Light into the future to acquire the Knowledge and Wisdom that you need and bring it back and apply it in the now. You have the tools of the Divine Rays to invoke in behalf of all of those that are in your life.
No matter what energy flows through you to benefit another person, it automatically benefits you. If you try to help someone understand their financial situation and get out of debt or get out of whatever limitation may be present financially in their experience, it's automatically going to help you. If you try to help someone understand a relationship issue, it's going to help you understand.
The Energy of Love is flowing through you, and that Love brings forth an opening of awareness that allows the Light to come in.
The achievement of success in the material world depends upon knowing who you are and applying that knowledge in a way that is in accordance with your values, is in harmony with your beliefs and your attitudes, but at the same time is expanding with the Light that is also expanding upon this plane.
Each one of you, we speak to you because as we have shared with you before, you are the holders of the Light to lead the way for others. It is somewhat, we shall say, with regret that the Great White Brotherhood of Light sometimes feels that they observe many of those claiming to be Lightworkers, and yet their own lives are in such distress. We would rather that no one make that claim if it would in anyway jeopardize or influence another person to say things like, “Well, if that's who you are, why isn't your life working? Why aren't you doing this, that or the other?”
You see, many times the motivation of that claim is from ego, and it represents an unresolved feeling of self-esteem, or lack thereof, within one's self. There are many still who want to be healers, when in fact really what they want is simply to heal themselves. They want to be teachers, when simply what they want is really to learn.
The success that you really desire is often so close to you, all along, and always has been. When you receive the thought of it, it means that it is very close. So another thing that you are learning along the way is how to get out of your own way.
What kinds of attitudes are you embracing? The attitudes and beliefs about yourself put an energy field around you that allow certain things to come in and exclude everything else. It's a sieve, it's a filter.
So if you have an attitude that is called say a lack consciousness, sometimes it doesn't matter how much Great Beings of Light try to bring forth into your experience or how much your Higher Self is trying to bring forth into your experience, if at that conscious level you're putting forth so much energy of lack, you've kind of blocked it out of your experience. Same thing with health. Same thing in relationships. Same thing in any aspect of your life.
Joy is only a thought away. For anyone who is not experiencing joy, we say unto you, call on your own I AM Presence to bring forth that greater feeling of joy within you, and It will do so. Try as you will there are times when you are just going to feel joyful. You can look at your life, you can see those times when you haven't achieved success, and you can let that demotivate you, you can let that cause you to feel badly about yourself, but that doesn't serve you.
And this journey to New York, to the spiritual ideal, is with small steps. Your legs are not long enough, even when you know where you are (and we're speaking metaphorically here), your legs are not long enough so that you can take that in one step.
And so many entities when they've gotten on the spiritual path in this lifetime with all the propagation through the technological means of sharing information where they get the information of the spiritual principles, and then it's like, "Oh, my goodness, I've got it. Now I know exactly what I need to do," and still their life doesn't function. They tried to take a step of ten miles in a single step with legs that are only three feet long. It doesn't work; it doesn't work that way.
And so then after trying and trying to make that big leap, they got discouraged. They say things like, “Oh, it doesn't work. Oh, it doesn't work for me. Oh, I guess I'll never make it. I guess this is something that will just have to wait until another lifetime.”
No. If you want to build self-esteem, if you want to build a momentum of success, then start with little things, little successes. Because when you build on what works and it becomes a knowing within you, then it enables you to grow longer legs, metaphorically speaking, and take bigger steps. But you do it, and you do those little thing over and over and over and over, applying the spiritual principles in these little areas of life, to where you see it working and working consistently. If you find yourself feeling doubts and uncertainties, you know that that represents a blockage. Rather than judge of criticize yourself for putting up a blockage, keep right on with your application and in doing so you're helping to reestablish the momentum and get your life going once again in a way that will unleash the Unlimitedness of God within you. And there will come a day when it breaks through the veil and there is such an outpouring of joy and happiness and grand events and miraculous circumstances that you would not be able to hold it all.
There is no one to whom we have spoken who has achieved that yet because a lot of entities want quantum leaps, yes. Want to move forward with great strides; it is possible. But that is built on a feeling of success, on a feeling of self-esteem that is generated from the knowingness that you can do, you can do it.
We once said to you, whatever you see others doing, you can do also. You can do. Does that mean you will do it? It's conjecture. Does it mean you're motivated to do it? Only you can tell yourself what you are motivated to do.
What if one doesn't feel motivation, what does one do? Well, sometimes that is just another part of the adventure, another part of the experience. Perhaps there are those who came into this life without the need for motivation as humanity defines it, but only the need to connect with the Higher Self in a very relaxed way and allow the Unlimitedness simply to flow forth.
However, they often come in also with seemingly great obstacles. Most of them don't really have great obstacles; they're here to be of assistance to others. It only appears that they have obstacles. And therefore they can reflect to others what they most need to see. It takes a great Master to serve in that way at that level. And there are many who are doing it, both consciously and unconsciously.
And there are many who are serving in dreamstate, and we say unto you, you shall indeed be blessed for all that you accomplish there. There are many who are seeking to be of service, and what they feel is success in their life is perhaps when they can see another person achieving a greater sense of joy and happiness and unlimitedness, because when they see that their efforts have helped another person, it helps to empower them. That may be another topic: Empowerment Through Service, for many there are who could benefit from this.
But to empower yourself to the great Knowing of who you truly are means that when you have something in front of you to do, to accomplish, that you are motivated to do that feels joyful to you, that you go at it with all of your heart. Immerse yourself in it, lose yourself in it. Let it become a passion for you, a feeling for you, so that you can truly create from it. And when you do that, you are using the energy of Life, which only serves to bring forth more Life into you. You begin youthing, rejuvenating, feeling more alive and present and in the very moment called Now.
What about problems? What about challenges? Well, the reason they come into your experience is multidimensional in nature. Sometimes your Higher Self will intentionally create problems and challenges for you at the conscious level, maybe because you've been so much into the limited alter ego that it's the only way it can get you to surrender and to release perhaps some of that pent-up, repressed emotion that's been blocking a lot of things that you wanted in the first place.
Yet, there are others for whom problems and challenges represent an accumulation that they call karma. And we've shared with you our perspective about karma. Oh, it's real. It's very present here. But it is a belief. It doesn't mean that just because you know it's a belief and you don't want it that you're not under that influence. Just because we say unto you certain things are so, you are still the authority of your life. And just because you say a thing is so, if you don't feel it, then it doesn't go very far, it doesn't create very much, at least at the present time. And it doesn't come back to you very often.
You want success. It's a natural thing. We want to encourage you to achieve all the success that you possibly can with the time that is here, in the way that time is here. Many of the phenomena that relate to the unfolding of the Great Light upon this plane are assisting you in achieving success. And no matter what transpires on this plane, no matter what great unfolding or what disaster, whatever level of success that you feel within yourself, you will always take that with you no matter where you go, whether it be another dimension, whether you remain here, whatever. And as you build through multiplicity, the multiplicity of success in little things, you begin to stretch and achieve greater things.
One of the things that you are truly trying to do in this endeavor actually is to learn what part of you that you can trust, because trust is a big issue upon this plane. And in trusting yourself, you haven't quite learned either how to trust yourself or what part of you, you truly can. It takes application, repeatedly, over and over, until whatever it is you desire comes forth.
We would say unto you this: If you think a thing long enough, and if you speak “I AM” to a thing long enough, it's going to come forth into your experience. Never give up. In the words of Winston Churchill, we understand, the three principles of success: Principle No. 1: Never give up. Principle No. 2: Never, never give up. And Principle No. 3: Never, never, never give up. It is true, no matter what it is that you are trying to achieve in your life, because surely if you stop, if you give up you won't achieve.
And this is where you find out what you're really motivated for. This is where you find out where the energy is really flowing. And just because an area of your life doesn't seem to have a flow does not mean that you can't create a flow of energy there.
Now, there may be times when your Higher Self, for example, wants you to have a greater relationship with itself, with the Real You, so therefore relationships have difficulty, that is external relationships. There may be times when you are embracing certain qualities such as gratitude, such as service, so therefore perhaps you've had difficulty in finances. Or maybe it has to do with believing in yourself.
There may be times when you experience illness just to get you to slow down and take it easy. Life does not have to be a rush-rush. If you enjoy that, if you want that, that's one thing, but for most entities it represents an unresolved issue, an attempt to achieve a feeling of aliveness through excitement by a hectic pace.
Use Light to bring forth an awareness within all of the realms of your being. White Light. Good for anything that ails you. Good for anything you want to create or experience in your life. And yes we have augmented that and said unto you that at the present time Light is a supplement, not a substitute.
There will come a day certainly when in a much greater state of Unlimitedness you will work with Light far more directly to accomplish and achieve what you want to achieve. But for the present time, since you are physically incarnated, since this is the reality that is in front of you, you aren't in the fourth dimension, you aren't in the fifth, because if you were you would be invisible to those in the third. Well, you're not invisible. You can see each other.
Part of your reason for being here is to bring forth and ground the energies of Love through the Unlimitedness that you are to help raise the vibrations here so that more of the outpicturing of Perfection can take place upon this plane. There are great Principles that still need to be manifest more upon this plane before the Ascended Masters come forth and let it be known visibly who they are, before the Great Angelic Beings come forth, because humanity is still warlike, aggressive, competitive, hating, prejudiced and even worse.
Those things need, those qualities need the purification that your Love can bring. They also need the purification of the Blue Lightning. Begin to call it forth, something like this:
“Mighty I AM Presence, I call forth now whatever quantity of the Blue Lightning that would be necessary to cleanse the atmosphere above this city, [above this community, above this neighborhood, above this state, above this country, above this planet].” Wherever it needs to be, call it forth.
There may be times when it actually manifests as Lightning you know as thunderstorms. That's actually a part of a cleansing process at a physical level of the atmosphere. But more often than not, it is from the Great Central Sun and the Great White Fire Love.
That is another thing that you can call forth, by the way, in your endeavors upon this planet, be it in behalf of this whole country or individuals or communities. The more that you begin to call forth things in behalf of groups of people, communities, countries and the like, the more you are working the with Ascended Masters' way of doing things, and you are therefore assisted by the Ascended Masters.
But we also want to remind you that you are also unlimited beings. Many times entities think that just because they don't do a thing that there's something wrong with them, and that is not the truth. They embrace a feeling of guilt, and that is not the truth of who they really are.
You have a right to your own desires. You have a right to create and manifest your reality as you desire it to be. You have the authority, you have the knowledge of how to do so, you have the tools to work with. What you haven't had is sufficient application to where it created the knowingness, and you at the conscious level therefore became integrated with the Higher Self into Absolute Knowingness and living it as your truth. But you're on your way. You're well on your way. You've achieved great strides in this lifetime. You could not even hear these words if you had not made some significant achievement in your life and in the most recent lives indeed.
Decree to the good of all concerned that all selfishness be consumed and annihilated from this planet. Decree to the good of all concerned that any substance or quality within you that has not produced the Perfection that you desire, that it be removed from you, and replaced with the Ascended Masters' Perfection and substance, which cannot be misqualified. Speak in this way:
“Mighty I AM Presence, remove from my being any substance or quality that has not produced Thy Perfection in my experience, and replace it with the Ascended Masters' substance and qualities and consciousness that cannot be misqualified in any way. I give thanks that this is so now, to the good of all concerned, and that it is forever maintained. So be it.”
All qualities, command them to be maintained and sustained, and that they be brought forth into the minds, into the feeling world of all of humanity. You want to expand now. You want to expand the Light within you. That application of the Law of Life, the Principles of Life, will assist you in achieving a far greater success in your life, because your Higher Self has so much that it wants to bring into your experience, that it's just waiting for the opportunities for you to get out of the way sufficiently long enough. And one of the best ways in the world to get out of your own way is when you are decreeing and doing things in behalf of other people, not out of a need of self-importance, out of the love of Life, and knowing that as you assist your brothers and sisters, you are indeed assisting yourself.
Now, there are some entities who have been doing a considerable amount of work in dreamstate. From a certain perspective, such things as lotteries are inappropriate for some entities because they have not contributed service to humanity at any level of their being. Therefore, what they are endeavoring to do there is only gambling, chance, and it would not be appropriate for them. But those of you here and many others who will hear these words at a later time, there may come a day when that would be an appropriate way for you to receive some sums of money by virtue of the service that you render during dreamstate, and perhaps even by virtue of the service that you render in the awakened state. But you are all contributing to the unfolding of the Light upon this plane. You deserve to have more of the abundance manifest into your experience.
The same is true concerning health in all you are doing. You deserve to have a great health coming forth into your experience. Therefore, there is a special dispensation that is being rendered to many who will hear or read these words at a later time, and you who are here this evening, such that beams of Light will start coming to you to start augmenting and adding to the expansion of the Light within you that you have already achieved as a result of your own efforts. Through the expansion of this Light within you then, you're going to quite naturally connect more greatly with your own Higher Self, and thereby a much easier way to create and to manifest very quickly into your experience some of those things that you do desire.
This is being rendered to you also with the request that as you become more abundant and more joyful that you would indeed be willing to share, in a manner of speaking, by perhaps giving unto some charity or person or whatever feels appropriate for you to do. By giving of some of the energy of this new life that you are finding within yourself of improved health, and in addition, for many of you who desire relationships or a better quality in your relationships, perhaps even in the context of meeting what might be called one's Soulmate and/or Twin Flame, those things also by virtue of this Light and special Dispensation that are coming forth will be further empowered into your experience.
Some of the Ascended Masters also desire that whatever your emotional state or otherwise not be considered as able to block this in any way. So by decree of the Great Elohim of Purity, certain of the energies in your emotional fields are being removed this night. And if you hear or read these words at a later time, it will certainly be within the timeframe that you hear them. That way you will awaken in the morning with a further purification of your energy field so that you cannot block some of these things that are coming to you. You will not be permitted to block it. It represents one of those things that we shared before in the context that there is soon to be a shift in who controls resources upon this planet. It is an appropriate thing to transpire, and there's no-thing that you need to do other than to allow it as it comes forth. In some cases, it will represent opportunities; in others, it may be through other means. However, you will know it, you will recognize it when the time comes.
The timing on this thing is somewhere within the next three weeks for each and every person who hears or reads these words; that sometime within a timeframe there, a great reward will be brought into your experience in some manner. Now, it may be that one or two experience it only as a feeling; it is because they have evolved to the point to where they no longer need the external manifestations in order to achieve the Mastery that they desire. And they know who they are.
But there may indeed still be manifestations just for, shall we say, the good of all concerned. This represents therefore a culmination in some of your calling forth, desiring success, victory and achievement.
Now the Great Beloved Cosmic Being Victory is also coming forth into your personal experience in a manner so that you'll become personally acquainted with how to use certain decrees and to achieve what might be called Cosmic Victory in your life, rather than just the physical success that you've been endeavoring to achieve. The difference is simply in frequency of vibration. Cosmic Victory is eternal. Physical success is temporal because the physical plane is temporal and is every-changing. Anything that you achieve at the Cosmic level is always eternally sustained and maintained, just as any feeling within you of self-confidence and success and achievement and victory always is retained by your Soul and is an eternal retention that you carry with you into all realms.
And as you carry forth this Light of Victory and Success and Achievement within you, it begins to shine forth and it assists in the great Love that is coming through you, so that you can indeed assist in lighting the way for others. And you don't necessarily do so out of a conscious desire to do so, as you do merely by living your life in the way that you want to live, in whatever is termed success for you and whatever is your joy, your happiness.
Now, there are many who have been called to be of service to the Light, and being of service to the Light, the greatest Success, Achievement and Victory that you will achieve there is the integration of your Higher Self into the conscious Self, where you can truly say, “I and the Father are One, I and the Mother are One,” implying that you have indeed achieved that Ascended Master state of consciousness while physically incarnate.
Then you feel intensely, but you direct the feeling with thought to create as you desire to create. And you do so also for other entities in your life. You no longer ask for a thing. You not longer ask for directions about what do you do about this or what do you do about that. You only ask of the Great Wisdom that is already within you. It sets you free.
And indeed freedom is one of the most important qualities for you to embrace at this time. It has been a long time since any of humanity has experienced sufficient freedom to allow the spiritual unfolding to take place. The purpose of America was to be the holder of Freedom, so that enough entities could hold the concept and the feeling of Freedom long enough to achieve a much greater sense of consciousness and thereby allow this greater unfolding of the spiritual awakening to transpire. It has happened. And many there are in this country and others who were drawn here to this country who are experiencing that freedom, and it is causing that awakening to transpire.
Of course, there are awakenings happening in other places, yes indeed. And there are other countries that do have their measure of freedom, but not so great as what is experienced in this country, even though there are many things that may transpire or seem to be not in accord with that.
Much is happening in the etheric realm that we could not even in a fortnight share with you all that is planned, all that is already coming forth to assist so that humanity does not create all of these destructive things that have been talked about. Some of it is simply being allowed because it is necessary, but the biggest portion of it, more than 90% of what has been spoken about will not be allowed to come forth. And there was a time when we could not say that to you. But we have asked and received, and those other great Angelic Beings have asked and received that assistance from the great Seraphim, the Cherubim and the Elohim in behalf of all of those here on this planet and the planet itself, and this solar system and this galaxy.
Therefore, the Light shall expand and expand and expand until it shines forth from every individual on this planet. And no one will leave unless it is their choice to leave.
Healings, miraculous healings, are going to start becoming commonplace. Precipitations of gold and money are going to start becoming commonplace. Wonderful healings in relationships are beginning to become commonplace, because the Light of Love is being used by a sufficient number of people that it is becoming a self-sustaining force upon this planet. Decree it to be so. Cooperate and participate in the process, and you are always blessed and benefitted by that.
Speak words in this way:
“Mighty I AM Presence, manifest Thy Great Perfection upon this entire world. Bring forth the purification of limitation and discord, and use that energy, transform it, transmute it so that it can be a part of the manifestation and perfection and the Ascended Masters' Divine Plan fulfilled and made manifest upon this planet now.”
In your own behalf you are certainly permitted to decree things. It's not just necessarily that you need to decree for others. Yes, there are times surely to decree in your own behalf, because you are the Unlimited God Beings that You Are awakening to the knowledge, to the knowing of that Unlimitedness. Certainly, do indeed decree in your own behalf. Call forth that which you desire that it may come forth into your experience. Don't beg for a thing; decree it to come forth, because you could not even have the thought of it, if it didn't already exist for you.
Now, once again we're going to ask you to close your eyes for a few moments, take a deep breath. Allow yourself to feel an energy that we bring in now, for indeed the Beloved Great Cosmic Being Victory is beaming forth the Light of Victory into each and every one of you so that you will begin having that feeling of Success, the feeling of Achievement, the feeling of Victory, a greater feeling of self-esteem, a greater feeling of self-worth, a greater feeling of self-confidence that you can achieve what you desire.

Benediction

“Beloved Great I AM Presence, indeed beam forth this Light of Victory, Success and Achievement unto to each one of those here and to each one who will hear or read these words at a later time. And through that Unlimited Power through all of the Ascended Hosts, maintain that Light until it accomplishes its mission, which is that each and every one of those here and those who will hear or read these words at a later time will, can say as the Beloved Great Cosmic Being Victory says, ‘I have only experienced Success and Victory in everything I have ever desired to do, and I have done so for hundreds of thousands of centuries.’
Bring forth this into the world of each one of those here and those who will hear or read these words at a later time, and maintain it until they can indeed say that very thing. Bring forth also the Integration into Absolute Knowing that they may arise in the morning with a feeling and a knowing of that Integration, with a feeling and a knowing of the great wonders that are unfolding in their own lives, and the great achievements that they will indeed experience with remarkable efficiency and ease, joy and happiness, peace, poise and balance. To the good of all concerned, to Thy Glory, to the expansion of the Light upon this plane, both collectively and individually, we decree this to be so. So be it.”

Now, before we leave you, we want you to realize what a great honor and privilege it is to be here with you. And so we will bring you a greater feeling of our Love for you, that you feel it now and take it with you to those places to which you may now go. All the angelic realm loves you so very greatly. If you knew, you would never again have a feeling of not being loved. Therefore, to help you retain this feeling of being loved, we shall endeavor to bring to you in dreamstate this night, or some night very soon when you are most receptive, the integration of a much greater feeling of self-love and self-esteem. As you become more aware of this manifesting in your life, simply give thanks to the Light, and to those Great Beings of Light who are accomplishing this for you.
And though we leave you now, as always, we’re only a loving thought away.So be it!

DISCOURSE VI
EMPOWERMENT AND ENVISIONING
September 6, 1992

Beloved Masters, a most hearty good evening to you once again. This is a rather special night in a manner of speaking, and we have what we shall call some rather wonderful news for you this evening. A lot of talk has been given to something called “The Shift.” Now if any of you have experienced some differences in energy this week, if things have felt more intense, if things have seemed like they are picking up speed, we are going to say to you, indeed, what has transpired this very week is the beginning of what may be called the Great Shift and the Great Light. It has been speeded up, so to speak.
Now, while our topic for you this evening is around something rather different, we do want to at least let you know that this is going on, that you may start noticing and seeing more dramatic effects in the world. You may start noticing and seeing more wonderful things happening in your own life. And for that therefore, we do indeed dedicate these words this evening.
So we invite you at this time once again to close your eyes, take a deep breath, relax for a moment.

Invocation

“Beloved Great All That Is All In All, we do indeed give thanks this evening for those most wonderful beings of Light awakening upon this plane, finding within them therefore the Truth of their Being, the Unlimitedness of the God Beings that they Are, First-Born of That Which is Thee. And indeed that in that awakening may they be set free and empowered with the Truth of their Being forever.
We give thanks for friends, both seen and unseen, gathered here this evening. We give thanks for those who will hear or read these words at a later time. We give thanks also for those wonderful Beings of Light, all of whom are indeed assisting a most wonderful process upon this plane, indeed that which has been called the Great Awakening and the Great Light coming forth from the Great Central Sun now, ever Powerful, ever Present, assisting each person in their own personal awakening.
Take each one of these, therefore, and fill them with that Light of Thy Perfection, so that only Thy Perfection may manifest into their experience from henceforth. Remind them in those times when they forget, to remember that they are God-Beings, that every word is the decree of the God-Being that they are, and every thought and feeling will manifest somewhere. Guard them with Thy Light. Let the Great Beings of Light gather around each one and sustain them in this awakening to the Great Light, to the Great Glory which is Thee, to that Glory which is in each and every one of them. We do indeed give thanks that all of these things are so for any who would desire it. To the Glory of God. So be it.”

Now, open your eyes. Be here in this place and in this time. This evening we will be continuing what we are calling Empowerment. This evening we will talk to you a little bit about Empowerment through Envisioning. And envisioning as we define it perhaps is similar to what a lot of people have understood to be visualization. But we want to further define it in our own terms, as it were. For indeed it is close to but not quite in alignment with certain phonetic words from a phonetic language that used to be very powerful.
And the word was rather envision rather than envision, for indeed by the power of the vowel sound "ah" which is associated with the alignment to the three-dimensional, the physical universe, and the vowel sound "ee" or "i" which is an alignment with your self-identity. You are therefore in that process of using these vowel sounds, bringing forth into an alignment what you perceive within your own being so that it manifests or comes forth upon this plane.
Now this has come down through the ages, it has been distorted both in its meaning, it has been distorted both in the sound so that the words are not quite as powerful as they used to be. But be that as it may, we're going to help you now to envision things so that they come forth more quickly with the energies that are here.
You see the energy has shifted. In the past visualization was a very powerful technique where you just see it in your mind. But that was more mental power associated with the ego or associated with what we sometimes call the alter ego. And even though many things did indeed become created in that way, it was not necessarily using the mind for what it was originally intended.
Now we're going to take a step forward and come into this now, which is a time when the Great Light of Love is beginning to come in by virtue of peaking, let us say, that Great Wave of Light on July 27, the Second Great Wave of Light this year. So this Light has a primarily quality of Divine Love. And in using Divine Love for what you create, we shared with you that it was very important that you hold the feeling of Love for your own Higher Self, your own Beloved Great Soul Being, or as the Beloved Great Ascended Master St. Germain would say, for the Mighty I AM Presence within you (your Soul Being and the Mighty I AM Presence are the same).
The Higher Self and the Higher Mental Body are the same. Your Higher Self is very much connected with and knows what is going on for you in the physical world and in your physical state, your needs, your desires, your emotions, your limitations and the like.
Your Beloved Great Soul Being, the Mighty I AM Presence, is connected with All of Life and cares not one iota about such things as money. It cares about spiritual growth and expansion of Light. This does not mean, of course, that you won't be able to experience all those things once you become aligned and integrated with the Higher Self and the Beloved Great Soul Being. Quite the contrary.
But what you find out in the conscious state, what you find out in the mind is both what desires are appropriate for you, what does your Higher Self and Beloved Great Soul Being want for you, and also how to allow it to do the work. You're learning an easier way to live. You're learning a far grander part of your being that is far more powerful than you've ever thought possible. And it's important of course for you to begin to acknowledge it by giving that attention of Love to it, to your Higher Self and that Great I AM Presence of God in you, which is You, the Real You.
Now, tonight, three very important concepts that relate to envisioning that will help you to be able to get a clearer picture in your mind. First of all is awareness. Awareness of what? Awareness of what you want, awareness of the very fact that -- and this is something we want you to get this evening -- the very fact that you could not even have the thought of a desire, if your Higher Self and Beloved Great Soul Being had not already both created it and the way for you to acquire it.
But we're going to stretch a little bit, because at the conscious level you haven't really quite connected with the ramifications of that statement. So we want you to get this: Whenever you have the thought of a desire, that is what your Higher Self wants to give to you -- any joyful desire your Higher Self is trying to bring into your experience.
And what is it that delays or limits your being able to have this? The negative emotions and the limited thoughts, the limited feelings, the “why isn't it here yet?” “why can't I have it the way I want it?” “why can't it be this way or that way?” That is all alter ego; it is all a part of that energy field that blocks the very things that your Beloved Great Soul Being is endeavoring to bring forth into your experience.
You are loved greatly. You are loved so greatly by that which is the Real You, and you're loved so greatly by all the Great Beings of Light, how could it be otherwise? For Love is both the Substance and the Energy, the Force, the Power. It is the movement of this day and time. It is the Essence of what you are, what you seek to become, what you've always been. It is that which brings forth all that you desire, manifests everything into your reality, transmutes anything that you do not desire, heals any limitation, and it does so, first of all, through Light.
One of the most important things for you to begin doing, if you're not already doing so, is to simply begin visualizing (we are going to use that term tonight first), visualizing yourself simply being filled with White Light. And the more that you do that, the more you will find that you gain the awareness in thought, in your desire world, of what your Higher Self and Beloved Great Soul Being want for you.
Now, it does not matter how grandiose or how broad or expansive the thought or the desire is that comes into your world, if it is accompanied by a feeling of joy and inspiration, then it is most definitely coming from your Higher Self and Beloved Great Soul Being. And it is therefore that which some Unlimited part of you, Unlimited part of you, wants to bring into your experience as quickly as possible.
What you are learning, Beloved Great Masters, all of you, one of the most important things that you are learning at this time is how to get out of the way. So many times you block the very things that you want.
Now, of course, it's been that way for a long time. It has become patterns wired into the brain. It's become thought patterns, emotional patterns and the like. You're learning how to heal those through many various techniques and modalities of healing. But once again, you have that most powerful tool of the Light. Light can accomplish the same thing far more gently, far more quickly, far more expediently, far more completely if you will just allow it.
Where most entities err from our perspective in this understanding is that they doubt the very power of their Being. Well, they haven't really experienced it yet. So how can you know that a thing is true if it hasn't been a part of your experience. Well, the way that you make it true for yourself is in application. In therefore, what you desire, when you begin to envision -- now you want to define this -- when you begin to envision, you will find it coming forth far more quickly. To envision therefore means to see clearly what it is that you want, with the feeling that you want it to evoke simultaneously.
Now, suppose you don't know what you want. That's where the White Light comes in. It brings awareness. So, you get the thought or an idea. You get a thought, perhaps, of wanting a new place to live. That may be something that some entities in this room would consider, or others who may hear or read these words at a later time.
Clarity is a very important quality therefore to assist in your envisioning being clear. We've shared with you how to achieve a far greater clarity in your experience by writing down, on pencil and paper, the qualities of what it is that you desire. If it's a home, describe it. Describe it physically. Start getting it in your mind. Then you will be able to picture it, to envision it, far more easily.
The next thing that you may want to consider, because this is a very important part of the energies that are here now, is what is the purpose of this thing in your life? How is it going to assist the expansion of the Light on this plane? Because if you desire a thing and it assists no other person, then it is not in alignment with what is expanding upon this plane. It does not mean that you cannot do that. You are God-Beings, you're Unlimited, and in awakening to that Unlimitedness, you find that you can create anything that you desire.
We're simply relating to you that which is in harmony and alignment with what is unfolding upon this plane. As you evolve and grow spiritually, as you move into the Higher Frequencies of Vibration, the day will come in either that Ascended state or the Ascended Master state of consciousness when you will be able to go to worlds totally unknown to you in the conscious state at this time, but you will be able to visit them, you'll be able to go places, create experiences in a far grander way and a far more unlimited way. And in that day and time, there is no limitation whatsoever.
Well, there is really no limitation now. The problem is most entities are still stuck in the belief that there is. The wiring in their brain doesn't allow them (at least they think it doesn't) to experience that Unlimitedness. Part of the reason for that is that you haven't really learned to trust that part of your Self.
One of the ways to enhance the trust in your own Higher Self and Beloved Great Soul Being is to begin turning more things over to it that have seemed to be issues and problems or challenges and the like. It does not mean that you would become inactive. It does not mean that you would participate at the physical level in solving those things that exist at the physical level that you might call problems. But it does mean that you begin giving attention, your loving energy of attention, to that part of you that is capable of solving those problems, those challenges, those issues.
As long as your attention is focused upon the problem itself, you're feeding more of your life energy into it and expanding it so that it becomes greater. This is true in relationships. It is true in finances. It is true in health, in any area of your life. Whatever you give your attention to, you are empowering into your experience. You are in effect saying that you love this thing that you give attention to, you are therefore merging with it, becoming one with it, becoming it.
So if you're going to become that which you give your attention to, what's going to become an experience for you, why not give attention to that part of yourself that is Unlimited, that is Pure, that is Perfect, that is All-Powerful, All-Knowing. And in doing that, you will find that even envisioning the desires becomes an easy thing.
Now, some of you have no problem seeing in your mind. Some of you are able to visualize quite easily. There are others who don't have that experience, and one of the reasons that they do not have it is because of the power of their spoken word.
Whenever you say words like, “Well, that's not something I've ever been able to do,” you are in essence recreating it, decreeing that limitation for yourself. It doesn't matter what it is, it doesn't matter what you desire to do, there is an Unlimited, All-Knowingness within you, that if you will allow it to function, it will bring forth into your experience the opportunities, the knowledge directly or in whatever manner you will accept it.
There will come a time when you will understand and know far better that thing that we shared with you once before that you never needed a book, you never needed a class, you never needed even to talk to entities like that which we are. We're delighted that you do, we're delighted that you are here, because we know that in the process that you are involved in, that the truth of where you are is that right now, yes that is a requirement for your expansion. It is a requirement for your growth to a greater sense and knowingness of the Unlimitedness that is within.
We want you to awaken and to awaken fully in reality. Not just conjecture out of intellectualism, but the feeling of knowing. Therefore, we're going to have some words that we give to you this evening that will start to empower your vision, your envisioning. It will start to empower your feeling far more grandly. It will start you on an accelerated movement into Unlimitedness, as if you weren't already being accelerated quite a bit.
It's time. It's time to awaken. You've been yawning for awhile. You've been thinking about it. You perhaps even made a few stabs at it from time to time. And maybe sometimes you've experienced miracles. Maybe sometimes it didn't quite work out the way you wanted it to. But be that as it may, the wonders and the miracles have hardly even begun.
Perhaps using the word “miracle” is an injustice, because there is an implication there that it's not ordinary. But when you live in this great Joy and this great Love, miraculous events and circumstances in your life become commonplace.
We shared with you that it is far easier to live a life of miracles than it is to live in limitation, that it takes a lot more energy to hold onto the past, and anything that may have transpired in your past. It takes a lot more energy to do that than it does to focus a thought about a joyful future and of possibilities of greater joys in your future.
Think about times perhaps when you've had something triggered about a negative experience from childhood, adolescence or whatnot. Think about the energy that you felt and how that kind of pulled you down, and how much effort it took to get back up once you got pulled down like that. Does it mean that you don't need to process those things? That's a belief system that a lot of entities have that they do need to.
Once again, you reach a point in your evolution where you can begin closing the door on the past no matter what from your perspective seems to be unresolved, because that is still an ego-intellectual perspective. Rather, or instead, you begin once again to use Light. The White Light begins to dissolve away, to wash away all imperfection at any level of your being, and it can do so just as quickly as you honestly and sincerely know and feel and believe that it can.
There is no-thing in your past, not circumstance, no experience, no person, no condition, physically, mentally, spiritually, emotionally or otherwise for which the Light is incapable of completely dissolving and removing from your being. But that has not been your experience yet. And so it is a matter for you to first of all be honest with where you are. Begin applying this knowledge so that it becomes Knowing, it becomes your Truth, that just as you respond automatically in certain situations by reacting emotionally (which is inappropriate by the way), so too do we want you to become almost automatic in your response of using the Light in all situations, and of issuing decrees. We're going to give you a few decrees right now, because those of you who are here, those who will hear or read these words at a later time, you are ready perhaps for what we will say is one of the last teachings, in a manner of speaking, in terms of energies and the way that you speak things that will be so powerful in your experience as to truly be called phenomenal.
Now, first of all, you're not going to be speaking this for yourself. You're going to be speaking something in behalf of other people, and you're going to be speaking it in behalf of other people, specific people, for specific times or time limits upon which something that you decree to come forth. If it be money, for example, it be a specific amount for a specific time. If it be healing, a specific healing by a specific time, and in so doing that energy flows through you and it effects you, because whatever you decree for another person you also decree for yourself.
By decree, therefore, of the Great Elohim of Wisdom, of Purity and Peace, each of you here this evening and those who will be hearing or reading these words at a later time, are being vested with a very grand power, and that is that whatever you decree for another person will come forth into their experience.
Now we're going to tell you how to decree, and after that we're going to give you a few things in terms of how to watch out so as not to decree inappropriately for anyone. This is all part of envisioning, yes indeed, because it is through the power that you decree that you're going to find yourself therefore experiencing a greater ability to envision. This is how you would say so. We're going to use a specific example so that you understand. We're going to use the example of a person, let's say, who needs a thousand dollars in three days times. This is what you would say:
“From the Lord God of My Being, unto the Father within, Beloved Father, Mighty I AM Presence, Beloved Great Soul Being that I AM, and Great Beings of Light, I decree in behalf of (name the person) the Divine Rays of Prosperity, Abundance, Money, Receiving, Opportunity and Success. See to it that they receive, within three days time, made visible into their hands and use, at least ten thousand dollars. And see to it that this is part of the Victory of the Ascended Masters Divine Plan Fulfilled through the Ascended Masters’ Pure White Fire Love Substance from the Great Central Sun. To the good of all concerned, to the Glory of God. So be it.”
Repeat it three times with feeling. When you have done that, straightaway, typically within less than 30 seconds, you will hear a voice or a thought in your head if your decree is being answered by the Great Beings of Light. They will simply say unto you, “It shall be as you have decreed. So be it.” And you will quite likely feel a tremendous flow of energy of Light through yourself at that time. That means that what you have decreed for another person you have decreed for yourself.
If there's a person who needs healing and you decree that healing for them, what that means if there is anything within you that needs healing, it shall be done. But remember that healing cannot be permanent without understanding, so whenever you decree Divine Healing, decree the Divine Rays of Understanding as well. You or anyone must know and understand why a disease was created in the first place; what was it teaching you.
If there is an opportunity that you desire in order to expand your Light, your havingness, and you decree this in behalf of another person, with the Ascended Masters' Pure White Fire Love Substance from the Great Central Sun, this is the purest Light that could come forth upon this plane. It is intelligent Light, Light that has consciousness. It cannot be misqualified. It is energy that the Ascended Masters and the Great Beings of Light wield. They do not allow it therefore to come through you in such a way that it is misqualified by your emotions, but rather it goes directly to whatever you decree it to accomplish. But in the process of doing that, you also receive that same energy in your life and in your experience.
One of the first things therefore for you to decree might be in behalf of any person that you feel like could use the ability of being able to see more clearly, whether it be in their mind, whether it be in their visible sight, or whether it simply be in their understanding. It doesn't matter who it is. But that would be one of the first things for you to decree in behalf of another person, that it take place within 24 hours, and therefore it will happen for you as you will accelerate your ability to envision.
Now another thing therefore to assist you in this envisioning. You would like to know perhaps the emotion to feel for a thing. So you would decree, you would say something like this:
“From the Lord God of My Being, unto the Father within, Beloved Father, Mighty I AM Presence, Beloved Great Soul Being that I AM, bring forth now into my feeling world Thy Perfect Harmony and Thy Perfect Radiance, eternally sustained, that I might feel now in this moment a greater feeling of [name the feeling that you want to reacquaint yourself with].”
Is it richness, is it prosperity, is it love? What is it? What feeling do you want? Joy, happiness, courage? You know it takes great courage to be here, great courage to step forward and be unlimited, when around you so much of humanity is anything but that.
And guess what, there's a big segment of humanity that doesn't want you to awaken. You don't have to align to that. You don't have to put your attention on it. You don't have to feed anything into it, but to simply be aware that it exists. Not to be in denial, but to take back your power so that you can envision with awareness, with clarity, with power, with feeling and the like.
What does it mean to take back your power? Well, we've shared with you that your power is in your feeling, your ability to feel and to project forth that great energy of feeling. So what it means therefore is that you're taking back another person's or condition's ability to evoke feeling from you. Stated more simply, you no longer react to the appearances in the world. You rather begin to create out of deliberate conscious intention, meaning that when you get the thought of a desire and it brings you joy that you go into a meditation. You call forth your power, you call forth the Alignment, the Love, the Knowingness, the Manifestation, the Power and the Law, that it come forth. Then you envision with joy or happiness whatever the thing is that you have been given to create, to speed up into your experience.
Your Higher Self and your Beloved Great Soul Being can bring many things to you very quickly. And you cooperate by getting out of the way. And what do we mean by getting out of the way? By ceasing to react emotionally in a limited way to the appearances in the world. By ceasing to give your attention to all the limitations that existed in your life. And yes, we know that you're not there right now. We know that you still may stumble and fall from time to time. When you do, call on the Law of Forgiveness and the Violet Flame to cleanse and purify any energy that you've misqualified in any way. Surround yourself in the Tube of the White Light so that all those negative energies that exist still in humanity don't bombard you.
You know, some of you are very sensitive and you are very open to energies. And it's necessary for you to learn how to be more selective and discerning on the energies that you allow into your emotional field.
There are many people who project forth very limited thoughts and feelings about you, toward you. And when you are open, sometimes you receive that and unconsciously act on it. That would be inappropriate it.
So again you want to in essence take back your power and establish that impenetrable Shield of the White Light around you that only allows more of the Perfection to come forth into your experience, into your mental and feeling world.
In that way, you are using energies of much greater Purity, of much greater Love, of much greater Harmony. And it empowers you to be able to envision far more easily the specifics of whatever it is that you desire to manifest and to create and bring forth into your experience.
Now, another thing, with respect to the energies that are here and your envisioning, or your bringing forth certain experiences into your own, relates certainly, let us say, to being able to feel love, love for all of life, no matter what it appears to be. And every single thing upon this planet is alive and it will respond to Love. It will respond positively to Love.
One of the most important things that you are learning in this unfolding is that you have dominion over physical phenomena. One of the, from our perspectives we will say, one of the worst things, for example, is how much people give away their power to weathermen. That's just one example. How many times do you watch news or weather reports; you want to know, “What is the weather going to be like?” And some person there tells you what it's going to be, and you believe them. You give your power away to them.
Why not begin learning how to connect and communicate with the Great Mother Earth, and She will tell you. Then decree, to the good of all concerned, the best for all concerned. Use the power of your spoken word and that Unlimitedness of God within you.
Now, you at the conscious ego level may not know what is to the good of all concerned. Maybe you do, maybe you don't. But you can turn it over to the Great Beings of Light who do know, and you do so with a decree such as this, and we'll use this example of the weather.
“Mighty I AM Presence, Beloved Great Soul Being That I AM, Beloved Great Beings of Light, bring forth your perfect energy into the atmosphere around this city and around this area this day. Bring forth your Perfection into it. Bring forth that which will bring the greatest Harmony and the greatest Good to all concerned. And see to it that this Harmony is maintained, sustained and self-sustaining. So be it.”
You haven't even had to mention weather. But another thing that you can do in the same regard, since a lot of energy exists around this planet that is very negative in a manner of speaking, you can call forth the Blue Lightning from the Great Central Sun to purify any discordant energy in the atmosphere. Once again,
“Mighty I AM Presence, Beloved Great Soul Being That I AM, through the Wisdom and the Intelligence of the Great Beings of Light, I call forth whatever quantity of the Blue Lightning from the Great Central Sun is necessary to cleanse and purify all thoughts and emotion of limitation around this planet. To the good of all concerned, to the Glory of God. So be it.”
When you speak that kind of decree, with feeling, remember, it is the energy of your feeling that is going to empower this to break through the veil of social consciousness around this planet so that the Great Beings of Light can take that energy and amplify it back to accomplish what you decree.
So to speak words, to merely say mumble them, or to speak them silently , yes, that does have an effect. But a far greater effect can be achieved when you speak with authority, with firmness, with energy, with feeling. That is your power. That is your real power.
Now, many of those female in gender are awakening to their power. They are awakening to the real power in Love. Now a lot of people have misunderstood power. Many entities have thought that it meant being able to get another person to do what you wanted them to do. No, that's manipulation, that's control, that's domination, and that is not in alignment with what is transpiring upon this plane.
But when there is something that you want to have accomplished, there are decrees that you can use. And those people who enjoy doing whatever needs to be accomplished will come forth into your experience.
“Mighty I AM Presence, Beloved Great Soul Being That I AM, bring forth into my experience this day, this hour someone who truly enjoys doing _______ [whatever this thing may be that you want to get accomplished; maybe it's not an activity that you particularly enjoy] to the good of all concerned, to the Glory of God. So be it.”
Then quite likely you will come into the awareness of someone who does this kind of activity and perhaps it will even be someone who loves to do it. You know, there are people who love to clean and people who detest it.
There are people who really enjoy doing certain activities that some of you really don't like. That's all right. It is not that you must like a thing, but it is that you must love it. One of the abilities, let's say, in love, in the feeling of Love, is that if there is a thing that is within you as a quality, a behavior, a behavioral pattern, it is a part of yourself that wants to be loved. In loving it, you love it away from you. If there is an object or a situation or a circumstance in your life, the same thing is true -- Love, the energy of Love, beamed forth into it, assists in releasing you and moving on.
And Love is also the Energy, the Essence, the Power, the Ability, the Substance which creates what you do want. So it accomplishes both things, and interestingly, you don't have to know consciously what is most appropriate there. You only need to allow the Energy of Love to flow through you for all of life. You will even find that in doing so and in issuing certain decrees so the Ascended Masters and Great Beings of Light can assist you, that even people who may have opposed you in the past, all of a sudden become aligned with you.
You do create your own reality in totality. In many cases you don't know how your energy goes forth and draws people into your life to reflect back to you what you're thinking and what you're feeling, what you believe about yourself, all manner of experiences that are totally under your dominion. Totally. Cease giving your power away as if anyone has ever “done it” to you or has done anything wrong or whatnot.
Now, we know that there are a lot of people for whom that perhaps is a real challenge in terms of their belief. There are lots of entities, the majority of humanity upon this planet is still into victimization and blame. But they are evolving too from that consciousness, and it is a necessary step on the part of evolution, let us say, from where you truly are in consciousness. It is a necessary step sometimes to begin to say “no” to things in an adamant, almost angry way.
If you've experienced abuse, begin to say no to it, that it has no power any longer in your life and it has no right being there. Command it to leave and to be taken into the Ascended Master's Octave of Light where it can be transmuted, and the energy of it become part of the energy of the Victory of the Ascended Masters' Divine Plan fulfilled.
Whatever energy you are putting forth at any time, if you find yourself feeling an energy of limitation, of anger or anything like that, coming from your solar plexus, call on the Ascended Masters and the Great Beings of Light and your own Higher Self and Beloved Great Soul Being to put its arms, to put their arms around you, and not let that energy go out from you to affect any part of life in any way. In that way, you don't have negative energy going out from you to bring back to you negative experiences.
Call forth that that protection be maintained and self-sustaining, that it be constantly on guard. Say something like,
“I AM the Presence here forever on guard, consuming instantly anything that seeks to disturb or cause discord in any way.”
That both takes care of anything that may be coming into your space, or that you may be self-generating for any reason. The biggest percentage, probably more than 90% of what you think and feel is primarily because of being open to receiving all the thoughts and feelings of limitation that exist here close to the plane.
As you surround yourself in Light, fill yourself with the White Light and begin to give attention to by envisioning becoming your Higher Self, you will find that you are no longer affected by those energies, that you can walk through, as it was said one time, that you can “walk through the Valley of the Shadow of Death and you truly would fear no evil,” or no limitation as the case may be, because there is a Light of Perfection, there is a Light of Protection around you.
It was once said, “Trust God but tie your camel.” That's a wonderful wise saying of limitation. In other words, the entity that spoke that did not truly trust God. But also it was wise in the context of that entity was at least acknowledging what his truth was.
So too may you in your own life learn to trust the Great I AM Presence of God within you to such an extent that you will both be able to acknowledge where you are and know your truth and cooperate with it, and use the Light to expand it and concurrently to move forward into greater Unlimitedness by knowing that it does exist.
When you acknowledge the Unlimitedness that is within you, it begins outpicturing more into your experience. What does it mean to acknowledge it? To speak it, to command it forth, to call it forth. No matter what you desire, it already exists because you could not have the desire if it didn't exist. You could not have the thought if it didn't already exist.
So if you find yourself going around saying things like, “I don't have,” “I don't know,” “I don't want,” guess what you're creating by the power of your spoken word? You just threw up a major blockage.
If you want Knowingness, BE the Knowingness. Decree it. “I AM the Presence which knows the answer to this question,” rather than say “I don't know.” You see, there is a part of you that does know, and the more you acknowledge that, the more you become it.
To envision is to see clearly, and to see clearly, you must have awareness, clarity and purpose. The purpose for your life right now is to know your Higher Self, to know your Real Identity, not the limited identities of alter ego, social consciousness, and all those limited identities that have been projected upon you by so many other people in your life. They say they love you, and as best they understand love, they do. But in acquainting yourself, becoming aligned with the Greater Love that is coming forth upon this plane, there may be times when it is necessary to say NO to certain things, to say NO to projections, to say NO to the limitations, to say NO to reacting emotionally to the appearances in your world.
You have to be honest with yourself. You're not there yet, but you can begin practicing it. You can begin doing it. And the more that you practice, the more that you do it, the more it manifests more perfectly into your experience. It can happen from our perspective instantaneously. But that's not a belief that you have, that's not a knowingness that you have. So cooperate with whatever your belief is, whatever your desire is.
There are many people who feel, who believe, who know that in order to have the things they want they must work at a job and earn money to buy what it is that they want. That is their knowingness, that is their truth. If we were to suggest to them other alternatives or possibilities, it might not even register, they might not even hear it. But many possibilities exist.
And when your Higher Self brings you the thought of a joyful desire, if you will just simply continue doing activities to sustain that joy, it will lead you very quickly to actualizing that desire into your experience. And it is the feeling of joy that is your guide in that respect. Because if you get off of the pathway to this thing that you truly desire, then the joy will cease to be there. But as you are aligned to it, as you cooperate with it and move with it, flow with it -- oh, it takes courage, because there may be many times that you are confronted by "appearances."
"But how can I acquire this thing; I don't have the money." Ah, that's the power of your spoken word. Maybe you the intellectual self doesn't, but your Higher Self and your Beloved Great Soul Being are unlimited. If it required trillions of dollars, there would be a way for you to bring forth and make visible into your hands and use those trillions of dollars.
Now, this may all be words. It may all be something that appeals to you, and we know that it does. But we also want you to apply this knowledge, this understanding, so that it begins becoming a part of your experience. It begins becoming a part of your truth, a part of what you yourself really are. In that way, you truly do awaken.
Take a moment right now to become quiet once again. Close your eyes for just a moment. We're going to bring forth a Golden Ray of Light from the Great Central Sun to beam forth into each of your bodies, your minds, your emotional and mental worlds, to help bring forth and integrate this knowledge more fully into an Absolute Knowingness for you, so that you begin to be able to live and to outpicture some of what we've spoken here this evening immediately.
As this energy is coming in, we want you to feel that Joy and Happiness and Love for your own Beloved Great Soul Being that through Its Wisdom brought your here this evening to hear words of Truth, of Inspiration, and of Empowerment to assist you in awakening far more grandly to the real identity of yourself as the Unlimited God Being that you already are.
It's not about “when.” Everything is now. It's not about “if;” there is no conjecture in Truth, there is no subjectivity in Truth. It's not about “can you or can't you;” you are Unlimited God Beings who have chosen the experience called the human experience. But your Real Self is still a Divine Unlimited God Being.

Benediction

“Beloved Great I AM Presence in each of these, we do indeed give thanks for that Presence here tonight, for that Golden Light that integrates knowledge directly into Wisdom, for the Great Divine Cosmic Beings of Freedom, of Victory, of Absolute Knowing, of Love, of Peace, of Wisdom and Joy, of Purity, of Adoration.
Let each one of those here and those who will hear or read these words at a later time receive this Energy in a way that will propel their growth in a most joyful way into far greater experiences of Light, of Joy, of Happiness, of Love, such that the Knowingness that if they have a thought, a joyful thought of a desire, it may be integrated such that now they can simply say, with joyful expectancy, ‘Ah, another wonderful gift that is on its way to me right now. I give thanks that I have this now, because in fact if I have the thought it already exists in a reality somewhere, and the truth is that I do have it.’
We give thanks also that each one of those here this evening will take the energy that they are given this evening, and that everyone that comes into their energy field will be further affected by the Light that is expanding within them, by the Love that is flowing through them, by the Wisdom that is ever-present and seeking to bring forth the Great Joy and Opulence and Health and Well-Being, Love, Prosperity, all that they desire, and all that they have always deserved; and that it be maintained eternally in their experience. We give thanks that this is so. So be it.”
And now we thank you indeed for being here this evening. And though the time has come that we must depart, in a manner of speaking, as always we will accompany you. There's a grand meeting taking place this night, and there are grand meetings taking place every night. You are invited therefore to attend a most wonderful experience in dreamstate this evening. And, if you desire to do so, decree that you come back and awaken in the morning with the conscious remembrance of it. And as you are able to remember at those higher frequencies, you will indeed come back with the remembrance, or awaken in the morning with the remembrance of a wonderful dream.
There is much that is taking place in the etheric realm in preparation for the greater expansion of the Light upon this plane, and you are a part of and are participating in those processes.
We honor you, we commend you, we are delighted that you are here. And we are delighted at your own endeavors in the expansion of Light and Love within yourself. Go forth therefore and be empowered by what you have experienced here this evening.
And as always, though we leave you now, we're only a loving thought away. So be it!

DISCOURSE VII
EMPOWERMENT THROUGH SERVICE
Speaking Decrees for Humanity, Beaming Light
September 12, 1992

Beloved Masters, welcome once again to this place; welcome to this time; welcome to a new dimension, a dimension in consciousness as it were. For this evening not only do we have a little message for you in the context of the words that were put on tape labels and the like, but also we will be bringing forth an energy to assist in the expansion of Light within each and every one of you.
Certainly, we know, from a certain context, that there are many things that the Great Beings of Light, ourselves included, are endeavoring to do for you to really bring assistance to you in many different ways. From our perspective, we have been rather amazed at how you block all the things we want to do for you.
So this evening, among other things, we want to assist in removing some blockages as it were. We're going to do that through the assistance of six of our brothers as it were -- the Beloved Great Archangels Michael, Raphael, Uriel, Ariel, Muriel and Metatron.
So all are present this evening for your benefit. And additionally, so also shall be present in a short while, as it were, several Beloved Great Ascended Masters, several of the Seraphim, the Cherubim and even the Elohim, who will be beaming forth some special energy for this evening, and indeed for those who may hear or read these words at a later time.
So at this time now we invite you to move yourself into a space of receptivity for the Light, to become quiet, to take a deep breath, relax, close your eyes for a moment and allow yourself to be at peace.

Invocation

“Beloved Great I AM Presence in all of these Thy children, Beloved Great God, All That Is All In All, we do indeed give thanks this evening for a service that is rendered by service that is received; for that which is indeed the expansion of Light in each of these Thy children, growing more quickly now through the Great Light that is coming in to this planet, to this space and to this time.
May each one of them therefore be assisted in the removal of anything that would be constituted as a blockage of any kind in the context of the unfolding of the Great Unlimitedness that is within. Let each one of them receive some knowingness integrated directly this evening, that they would be assisted that whatever they go forth into in the duration of this life, that they would be empowered by what they would receive here, that it would assist not only the expansion of the Light within them, but it would also expand the Light within each and every individual that they subsequently come into contact with. We decree this therefore to be so, to the good of all concerned, to the Glory of God, the All that is All in All forever. So be it.”

Beloved Masters, we invite you now to be present here in this place and this time. It is a wonderful time that is unfolding, and it is a time when if you were to look out from yourselves and look upon the world you would see all manner of distressful events happening. For indeed we would say that social consciousness and the consciousness of the alter ego individualized in each person upon this plane is indeed rearing its ugly head, in a manner of speaking, in what might be the last vestiges of its fight to retain its identity, its control, its hook upon the Great Beloved Beings of Light incarnated upon this plane, which all of you are.
And while it may seem in certain perspectives that there is much that is difficult, challenging, much that would be considered objectionable, that you would want to say ‘no’ to it, one of the greatest teachings of all times comes in the context of moving into a space, not of resistance to anything that you see, but rather of what we might call translucence or even transparence, which means that you are no longer resisting what has been termed ‘evil,’ but rather through what you may hear this evening you will learn how to conquer that which is within you through the speaking of your world, through the decrees that you give in behalf of others.
Now, from our perspective there are many pathways that are unfolding simultaneously upon this plane. There are those who are drawn very much so to the teachings of St. Germain, to the teachings of Buddha, the Koran, to Allah, to the teachings of the Christian religions, Judaism and many others; to even those who might be diabolically opposed to the Light. And each one of these teachings has a certain validity of truth contained in it.
None of them has the total truth, and they really only have a perspective of truth. You are here because something within you wants to know more of the truth. But to speak in the context of The Truth would be inappropriate even for entities such as ourselves.
Rather, we say unto you that The Truth is whatever the truth is to you within you. Most, however, most entities incarnated upon this plane need to give their power away to something or someone outside of themselves, as if that person, that entity, that philosophy, that religion was The Truth that they were seeking.
So our function, as we have chosen it to be, at least through the one through whom we speak, is to help in assistance, in rendering a service to you that you may turn inward and find the Great Truth that has always been within you.
As each Soul unfolds upon this plane of experience, the three-dimensional reality, the human experience, you go through many levels of understanding, many levels of experience, many unfoldings. And many of you in this lifetime have achieved a rather significant increase in your spiritual awareness and understanding.
It is, however, at least at this time primarily only intellectual. You are seeking, at least we hope that you are, you are seeking to apply it, and to apply it with a determination, with a persistence that will allow your to bring forth the spiritual knowledge within so that it becomes Absolute Knowing.
One of the Rays that will be brought forth into this space and into this time this evening will assist in the integration of some thing that you have learned at some time recently, whether it be that which we speak to you tonight or something that you read recently. It doesn't matter. It is whatever your own Beloved Great Soul Being through your Higher Self, the Higher Mental Body, deems is most appropriate for your pathway and its unfolding at this time.
Certainly, we will say unto you, this is a wonderful time, a joyful time, a time to be excited, a time to really be grateful for all that is transpiring and coming forth upon this plane. For many entities, such as ourselves, are seeking those through whom we can bring forth the perspectives of Truth that are relevant, that are important for you, that will assist you in moving forward in your life to expand the Light within and to bring forth more of the great Joy and Happiness and the Unlimitedness of the I AM Presence of God that is within each and every one of you.
In the words of Christ, “These things that I do ye shall do also, and greater things than these shall ye do.” This is the time that that message is coming to pass. After almost 2,000 years of being nurtured, the seed that was planted at that time is coming to fruition now in a big portion of humanity.
There is an equal portion, perhaps a even greater portion of humanity, that may not aspire or seek that truth. For indeed we would say that social consciousness breeds complacency. And when a person becomes too comfortable in their existence they are no longer in a process of growth.
Much of what is transpiring upon this plane that would seem to be disastrous, calamitous in some way, is simply to knock people out of their comfort zone to get them to seek understanding.
It is not a thing that is consciously, deliberately created, nor is it a thing that we advocate in any way whatsoever; quite the contrary. But we also recognize the need on the part of each individual soul and the expansion of Light within it, that the conscious self be awakened to greater possibilities. And if the conscious self does not of its own free will choose to do so, then the Beloved Great Soul Being, through the Higher Self and the Higher Mental Body, will sometimes indeed create what might be called crises, challenges and the like, in order that growth may be accelerated.
Since this planet, which is an entity itself, and all of you are aware of this, since this planet has decreed that this is the time in Its evolution that It will expand Its Light, then everyone upon this planet is being called upon to do the same thing. The Divine Dispensations of Light, through the Seraphim, the Cherubim and the Elohim, are being beamed forth to assist in that awakening of each individual on the planet. There is still conscious free will and free choice.
For example, we summoned 90 people to be here this evening to fill this space. But that which might be called the alter ego, social consciousness, which is a heavy force on each and every individual, plays upon as much as 75-80% of those who are being called.
In the same way in your lives, in your individual experiences, every moment is the opportunity to embrace the greater Unlimitedness that is within. But every moment we also recognize and we see what happens in so many experiences of the individuals, both you that are here, those who will hear or read these words perhaps at a later time, and of course all of humanity. And that thing is quite simply that doubt creeps in because things don't always happen the way the alter-ego thinks they should.
Even in what we shared with you in the very beginning, what we shared with many entities here only a few weeks prior in terms of a great benefit that they would receive in the context of certain activities, many proceeded to go forth with these activities, and only moments before the Great Blessing would come forth, they would trip and fall and perhaps say things such as, “Well, why didn't it happen? Where is it?”
And we understand fully. We understand that where you are in consciousness you need to see results in order to believe. The Christ spoke and said, “Blessed are ye indeed who having not seen and yet still have believed, for ye shall inherit the Kingdom of Heaven.” Not exact words perhaps; our words augmented somewhat.
But we want you to understand something more greatly this evening. You are still the authority in your life. There is no thing that we can bring to you that you still do not filter in some way. There is no thing that we could attempt to do for you that you are still not the authority as to whether or not you will receive it and when in the context of time.
We shared with you a certain understanding with respect to desires and thoughts that you receive. This night we want to expand that understanding. What we shared with you is this: that you could not even receive the thought of a desire if your Higher Self and Beloved Great Soul Being had not already created the way.
Now we want to expand that to an even more joyful and loving understanding. And that is, you would not receive the thought of a joyful desire if your Higher Self and Beloved Great Soul Being did not intend to bring it to you effortlessly. And when we say effortlessly we mean it in almost every sense of the word. Doors will unfold. People will come into your lives. Situations and circumstances shall come forth.
But the “kicker” in all of this is how willing are you at the conscious level to have that faith that is so pure that not one iota of doubt or skepticism can mar it. Well, from our perspective of looking at you and seeing you, we know that you have been through the human experience hundreds, in some cases thousands of lifetimes. It has inbred, even genetically into the physical body, vibrations of doubt and uncertainty.
Therefore, we know inherently that what will break you free from that is when you have had a consistent enough result made visible in your life that you begin to say, “Gee, maybe this really does work!”
Yes, it does. But you being the authority of your life, with any thought, with any emotion, any word, you can bring forth a great Unlimitedness or you can delay it for nigh another eternity if you wanted to. Now, when we said “if you wanted to,” we're not speaking at the context or the level of your Beloved Great Soul Being, but rather that of the intellect or the mind or the personality, the ego, or as we call it the alter-ego.
We would like to suggest that one of the purposes of the physical incarnation is to develop a healthy sense of self, which is certainly one of the ways that ego can be defined. But there are many who use the term ego in a derogatory sense. So rather than attempt to use words and misconstrue the semantics involved, we will refer to that part that is negative in the sense of it creating what you don't want as “alter ego.”
In that context therefore, social consciousness is the collective consciousness of all the alter egos upon this planet. What social consciousness does is it sets up an energy field that you're moving through all the time.
When you first start opening spiritually, you actually become more open to limitation, into all of the negative thoughts, negative emotions, negative words and the like. This sometimes has caused a lot of entities to become disillusioned, to give up, to perhaps seek a different pathway, or to fall right back into the old way of living.
But the Beloved Great Soul Being in each and every one of you, and in a big part of humanity, will not allow that to remain for long. The conscious beings that you are will not be allowed to remain stagnant for long, because this is a time for the expansion of Light. It is a time therefore of great changes, because there has not, from our perspective, been very much Light on this planet for a long, long time.
So, in preparation for what we shall call the Great Light, you are here, and we are delighted. You are here, and we want to render to you the greatest possible assistance that you would be willing to receive. In that regard, therefore, we shall acquaint you this evening with a couple of decrees, with the use of certain Rays of Light called the Divine Rays, of which we have spoken significantly in the past. And in so doing, therefore, provide for you a tool that we suggest and command that you use only in behalf of other people.
However, one of the nice side effects and the benefits that goes along with this is that whatever you decree in behalf of another person, that energy also flows through you and affects your world. It must, because it is the Law of Life.
Whatever you decree for yourself, be willing to decree for all of humanity. Therefore, in the context of empowering yourself, you will be rendering a great service by issuing certain decrees that we want you to be aware of this evening.
In issuing these decrees, we also want to caution you. It is not to be done lightly, meaning this is a very powerful technique. It is not to be done just for anyone that you happen to think or feel perhaps could use this assistance. Sometimes you will intuitively know; sometimes you may not at the conscious level. That's all right. But you will know because you will receive a message right after you issue the decree if indeed it has been accomplished.
So what decree are we talking about? The Divine Rays are energies and beams of Light being administered by specific Great Beings of Light. The Divine Rays are the qualities that you may find desirable upon this plane. Whatever quality you can name, there is a Great Being of Light who administers that quality. Therefore, you can call upon that Being, and you can call upon the Divine Ray of that quality to come forth into your experience, and to beam it forth in behalf of another individual.
The kinds of qualities that we are talking about would be such things as Peace, Love, Courage, Faith, Trust, Prosperity, Healing, Integration, Absolution, Dissolution, Resolution and more. Any quality, any quality whatsoever can be used in this way. And yes, we've spoken to some of you about this before. So this is kind of a reminder. But we're going to take it to the next step now this evening, with an expansion of how you may issue a decree with a Greater Light, with a purer Energy, direct from the Great Central Sun, which cannot be misqualified by human or alter ego consciousness. Therefore, it retains its purity, it retains its Unlimitedness, and it goes forth, and it is automatically self-sustained until that which you have decreed is indeed accomplished.
Now, the other thing, in the context of issuing these decrees, for example, if there is someone that you know who requires healing, then you would name the person, you would name whatever it is that they require healing for, and you would name a specific timeframe in which this healing is to be completed. (But also you would invoke in their behalf the Divine Rays of Understanding, because there cannot be real and permanent healing without understanding.)
Now, do you remember that the Christ often had people who would come to him and would say, “Master, if you would only speak the word, I know that my mother or my brother or my father, whatever, would be healed of this malady.” Such faith these people had in this wonderful Being of the Light that you call Jesus the Christ, Jesus Sananda. And indeed that same entity will be assisting in administering this Light, these Divine Rays, when you call it forth.
You are being given this evening a rather special gift, in that what you decree for another person shall come to pass for them. It shall be as you decree it. Now this is indeed why we say that it comes with a certain responsibility. You don't just go around decreeing for anyone and everyone who says, “Oh, you mean that you can decree this and it will come to pass for me?”
That's not quite the way it works. Almost, but not quite. There may come a time when people will indeed be coming to you, knowing that you have a power that has been given to you. And this is not a power that is at an intellectual level. It is not intellect, it is not the mind. It is through the Unlimited Power of the Great Beings of Light. So it is not you who are doing the works, but as the Christ has said, “It is not I that is doing the works but the Father within me.”
So it is not you who is doing it, but the Beloved Great Soul Being that you are and the interconnectedness that you have to the Great Beings of Light who know absolutely their Unlimitedness.
Beloved Masters, miraculous healings can take place with your speaking the word. Miraculous changes in the circumstances of one's financial status in life can come to pass by your simply speaking the word. This is a gift that (many of) you are being given, that you have earned. (Be it unto you according to your faith.)
You have sought to know truth. You have been searching for a long time to understand, and that understanding shall be coming to you, because one of the things that will be happening very quickly in your experience is that you will each and every one come into contact with someone who desire to understand something. They feel confused; they feel like they really don't know what is going on here.
And in your quiet time, in a morning meditation, or before you go to sleep at night, you will issue a decree, a Divine Understanding in their behalf. By virtue of that very first decree that you will issue, you will start finding yourself having flashes of insight that cannot be put in words. Understanding is not verbal, it is not in words, it is not intellectual. It is a feeling.
And much of what we share with you, even though words are spoken through this entity who is devoting so much of himself in order to bring this forth, so much of what is transpiring, entities seem to want it to be in words. And yet the greatest truth that you will ever know will never be in words. It will be knowing, and it will be feeling. It will be emotional.
You have all had bits and pieces from time to time of those transcendental moments. And yet we will say unto you that the day shall come when that will be a more normal way of perception of all that exists, rather than it be intellectual, verbal in thought in the mind.
And while we of necessity must use the convention of speech and words in order to convey some of what we do for you, in your behalf, we would also say to you, as we have said so many times, more than 90% of what you shall receive this evening will be in other than the words. That is why we want you to retain a sense of quiet and calm.
Now, let us get into the decrees. What are you going to speak, and how are you going to speak it? What you will be saying is simply this:
“Mighty I AM Presence, Beloved Great Soul Being that I AM, Beloved Great Beings of Light, I invoke now the Divine Ray of Prosperity in behalf of this my brother or sister of Light [name the person]. See to it that this person receives [name an amount of money] by [name a date]. And see to it that this is part of the Ascended Masters' Divine Plan fulfilled upon this plane through the Ascended Masters Pure White Fire Love Substance from the Great Central Sun. To the good of all concerned, to the Glory of God. So be it!”
Every word is important in that, every word, especially that it be part of the Ascended Masters' Divine Plan fulfilled through the Ascended Masters Pure White Fire Love Substance from the Great Central Sun. This is the energy and the substance that cannot be misqualified. It is pure, and it goes through you, even though what might be termed the Higher Mental Body, the Higher Self, your own Beloved Great Soul Being may beam forth that energy or assist in beaming forth this energy, because other Great Beings of Light will be involved in it also. It will still also go through you.
Whatever you decree for another person, you are also decreeing for yourself. But you must not decree a thing for a person because you only want it for you. You must be sincere in your desire to be of service to another person in the issuing of this decree in their behalf.
As a result of the humility and the sincerity of that desire within you to render a service to another of humanity, you are yourself assisted and rendered a like service. You cannot fool your Higher Self, you cannot justify it intellectually. If you find yourself trying to think why you should, then you're only convincing yourself more that your motivation, your intention is not sincere. So that is the caution that we render.
Now we don't render the caution because anything bad or detrimental would happen. It is just that the decree wouldn't be effective, it would not be allowed to go forth, not be allowed to accomplish anything.
As soon as you issue a decree in that way, and you say “so be it,” the next thing that will happen is that you will hear a thought in your head, and/or you will get a chill or an electrical tingling sensation over your body, and a Beloved Great Ascended Master will say to you these words, “It shall be as you have decreed it. So be it.” That is your sign, that is your signal, that is your message from the Great Beings of Light that what you have decreed shall indeed come to pass.
Now, what about timing? You're decreeing a time. It may or not necessarily happen in the precise specific time that you decree. But the opportunity will be there for the person for whom you decree this thing that it can. Remember, they are still the authority of their life also.
We will say unto you however that what you have unleashed is the Power of Light, of the Pure Substance from the Great Central Sun. And it shall remain in effect until what you have decreed is in fact accomplished.
And while some things may come forth immediately, even though you may decree them to be accomplished in a few days or a few weeks or whatever it may be, there may be other things that it takes a little bit longer for it to happen.
Now, if you have trouble in a relationship in your life, and there is a desire within you that there be a healing there, you will come into the awareness of someone who is experiencing a difficulty in their relationship. In your compassion, in your understanding, in your humility and in your sincerity, you can issue a decree in behalf of the healing, the loving resolution of whatever problems may exist in that relationship. And while we hesitate to use terms such as challenges, problems and the like, it is necessary to use them from time to time.
As we have shared with you many times, what you focus upon and the way that you focus upon it, you are empowering it into your experience. Here, as with many of the spiritual principles, there are times when there can be exceptions. And by the Power of the Light that is within you, and the Great Beings of Light, the Seraphim, the Cherubim and the Elohim, there are certainly times when there shall be the suspension of certain laws, rules or what have you.
And anytime that you are operating out of Great Love and sincere desire to be of service to another person, because you are being given a gift this evening whereby you can be of that assistance, then that energy will flow through you and bring forth into your world a much greater joy and happiness and unlimitedness.
Now, there is ultimately a purpose in this that goes beyond just being of service to another person. It is to help you realize that there is indeed that which is within you which is Unlimited, and that you can decree a thing to be so, and it will be so. “For if you had the faith of a grain of mustard seed, you would say unto this mountain, be moved into the sea, and it would be done.” And it's a literal truth. It's not imagination. But we also do not want you to get into delusionary thinking.
Delusionary thinking results from entities such as yourselves coming into contact with great truths that from a certain perspective you're not really ready for, or you don't know the discipline necessary to get from where you are to where they become Absolute Knowing. It takes discipline; it takes determination for most entities. There are some, yes indeed, there are some for whom they may just be walking along the street, and instantaneously they become in that state called the Ascended Master state of consciousness.
What we want to give to you this evening is what we know will work in your life, no matter where you are in your own conscious experience, so that you can move forward to actualize more of that great Unlimitedness that is within you in such a way that you do indeed embrace it and integrate it as a Knowingness; that you become the incarnated Christ-being that you are and have always been but have forgotten.
And every moment, every single moment, every now is the opportunity to embrace that, to feel it. It is not intellectual. You cannot read it and become it by reading it in a book. It doesn't work that way.
It is Knowing, which is feeling based on experience. And that is why you are here. It is why you incarnated upon this plane. It is part of the reason you are here this evening, to shift your pathway slightly, to bring you a different understanding, to bring you back to knowing where you are, what you need to do to find that truth that is within you, and to actualize more of the Unlimitedness of that truth so that your experience, your life, unfolds more miraculously; that the Light within you expands so that you no longer need to create crisis at all. At all. No matter what level your soul evolution may be.
We would say unto you that those that we speak to, you are those who are indeed at that level of Soul evolution where you're completing the human experience and all that you require of it. If you have not already done so, you're poised at that point. Then the game changes. Then different things begin to come into your realm of possibilities. And this is going to help speed up the process. And the process that is being speeded up is the integration into Absolute Knowing of the Unlimitedness of God that is within you, so that you no longer want or need for anything in your experience. But that it doesn't come necessarily from the alter ego, from selfish motives or whatnot. That indeed in seeking the Kingdom of Heaven, the Kingdom of God within you, that all those things are added automatically.
Now one of the things here that we want to be very specific about for you: for much of your experience the focus has been excessively on the external result rather than on the love of that part of you that has created all of it in the first place. The more that you can shift the focus of your conscious attention away from the emotional need of the result manifested in the external, and shift it to love for your own Beloved Great Soul Being, you will find that that is indeed the activity of seeking the Kingdom of Heaven within. And then the things that you most need that are appropriate for you come to you in far more joyful, miraculous and effortless kinds of ways than what you have ever experienced before.
It doesn't mean that you do nothing, but it does mean that there's far, far less effort at any level of your being. It means sometimes that the ego's concept of timing and that of the Beloved Great Soul Being that you are, is going to be different. So there is a surrender that is necessary.
Now, some other words for you to speak in the context of when you are in the process of making decisions:
“(From the Lord God of My Being, unto the Father within, Beloved Father,) Mighty I AM Presence, Beloved Great Soul Being that I AM, now this is a decision that I think is appropriate for me to make. If this is indeed in my best interest and in the higher and best interest of all concerned, then make the way clear, make the way plain. Step forth into this situation and bring forth your perfect Harmony, your perfect Love, your perfect Wisdom into it. (Bring Your Perfect Timing and Supply of all that is required for its completion.) If for any reason it is not appropriate and not in my best interest and the best interest of all concerned, then block it completely.”
What you may find is that there are times when at the intellectual level you think that you know of something in terms of a decision, and it may appear that a certain direction or decision is right, and maybe it isn't. If you use this decree in those times when you are primarily operating out of the intellect, out of the mind, you will start allowing your own Beloved Great Soul Being to have more direction, more dominion in your life. And what it creates is always perfection, if you allow it to.
Now, there are times when you're operating from intuition, and there is that automatic, instantaneous knowing response, so you don't have to go this circuitous route of this decree. But in those times when there's a question in your mind, when there is some doubt or uncertainty, you can use this decree. It will assist you greatly.
To be of service upon this planet at this time is a pathway for a lot of people. But one must be careful in that context, because sometimes the context of wanting to be of service is based on the premise or the assumption that someone external to you needs something. In a way that is paramount to a judgment, and you are in the process of learning how to let go of any judgment whatsoever. In a slightly different context, which we shall say is the context of evolution as it needs to transpire upon this plane at this time, you are being given this gift, this very wonderful, powerful spiritual gift so that you can be of service.
And while from the greater perspective all is simply as it needs to be, in that timeless state in which all Souls exist as equals, and there is no hierarchy whatsoever in that state of consciousness, in that state everything is, like we say, as it needs to be. But you exist in time. You are evolving consciously. You are even evolving at the Soul level, but you don't understand the full ramifications of it yet perhaps. Oh, you may have read things, and that gives you a certain understanding, but it's still words, it's not a knowing. It's not the feeling, it's not the perception. And truth always comes, always comes as a feeling, as a knowing. It resonates within you. You know when something is appropriate for you because you feel it. You even feel it in the physical body.
Beloved Masters, pay attention to your feelings. There is great truth contained within what you sense, what you perceive. And while sometimes we still see that at the conscious level you react to what you perceive, you are charged to cease reacting because all it is doing is telling you what your truth is about you in most situations and circumstances.
There is a lot unfolding upon this plane that if you tried to understand it all intellectually, it could easily put you on overwhelm. Be selective. Use discernment in what you will embrace at a verbal level, at a written level. It may appeal to you out of curiosity. It may appeal to you for many and various reasons. But we say unto you, Beloved Masters all, we love you greatly. And the greatest truth you will ever know is still waiting for your discovery. It is your Real Identity. Not some past-life ego identity that so many aspire to, but your real and True Identity as the Beloved Great Child of God that You Are. Now, we use the word Child, but in fact that is a misnomer. It is a convention; it is perhaps appropriate in certain contexts. But in many contexts we would say that each one of you is growing very rapidly. And now your Soul evolution, having reached a relative point of completion, the conscious evolution is being accelerated.
When you hear stories about other entities decreeing certain physical phenomena, be careful what you buy into. You could slip, you could fall, you could contribute in your decrees -- your spoken word; every word that you speak is a decree. You could contribute to bringing forth the very thing that you would rather not experience.
To align with the Light is to align with the highest of Joy and Happiness and Unlimitedness that there is. That is truly the Light, and that is what the Ascended Masters, the Great Beings of Light want you to remember about who you are: that you are a Being of Light, you are a Being of Great Joy and Great Happiness. It has always been within you. You are remembering. And in the process of remembering, your own Beloved Great Soul Being knows that it is time that you have the actualization in your physical experience of certain tools, certain powers, certain abilities or spiritual gifts, as we will call them.
As you awaken more and as you use this more, as you allow yourself that quiet time to simply be with you, there is so much more that will be revealed to you directly. You call it perhaps the Spirit of Truth, the Holy Spirit. It is the essence of Light that is in all entities. You are an individuation, an individualization, if you want to call it that, of the All That Is All. And by virtue of that connectedness, you yourself are All That Is. Not at the conscious level but at the Soul level. It is not merely potential. It is more than just potential, because now you're beginning to actualize it. It is becoming dynamic.
When you decree a thing, therefore, let it be a dynamic decree, with feeling. It doesn't have to be loud. You will only simply need to feel what you are saying with sincerity of purpose.
We love you greatly, Beloved Masters. There is so much more for you to experience. You become acquainted with possibilities. You read stories of what others have experienced. Sometimes you get into comparisons. Cease that. Compare yourself to no one, nor another to another. Each has his place in forever, and each of you must find that loving relationship in service to your own Beloved Great Soul Being. And through that service that you render to your fellow Soul beings, your brothers and sisters incarnated upon this plane, you render a great service to Light, to Love, to Life. And you will receive accordingly. It is the law of Life.
Think not about time, and you won't delay it as long. If you find yourself, if you find your thoughts wandering into such things as “when is a certain thing going to happen?” or “why hasn't it happened?” stop that, cease that right away. That is only putting up an energy that could block the very thing that you want to experience. And you are the authority for your life.
There are certain entities upon this planet who have been given great authority and great power, and they've misused it. Through the Great Elohim of Purity and Peace and others, the Seraphim and the Cherubim, many of those individuals are having that free will and free choice of how they exercise that great power, it's being revoked. So use with care this power that you were given. Care meaning that you simply watch and be aware of your motivation.
We're going to assist you further in that understanding of how to use Light for greater understanding. And even though our time is growing short with what we can share with you this evening, we will certainly continue in that context of speaking with you, not only this evening, in terms of dream state, but in this next coming evening when we shall continue with this conversation with you.
At this time, we want to invite you once again, however, to become quiet, close your eyes, allow the energy being beamed forth now to assist you. This is a special time. It is a special gift. You are special beings, and so is everyone else. So let not the ego embrace this in any context of a “better-than,” but see it in the responsibility that you have, that you have grown in your stature, in your conscious evolution and your Soul evolution, that now you can render a service for the expansion of Light that will be of great benefit to all upon this planet.

Benediction:

“Mighty I AM Presence, God, All That Is, we give thanks indeed that the Word is made flesh, is made visible; that the Word that is spoken by each of these is being empowered through the assistance of the Great Beings of Light so that they integrate more the Absolute Knowingness of their Real Heritage in the Unlimitedness of Thee that is within each and every one of them. It has always been there.
Great Beings of Light everywhere, beam forth your Radiance upon each one of these here, and upon those who will hear or read these words at a later time, that they indeed embrace this Truth that is within them; that they no longer look outside for the answers, but they look within and find the Truth that has always been there.
See to it that each one experiences the Great Miracles that are waiting on their lifestreams; that they come forth more rapidly now in Joy, in Happiness; and their desire to be of assistance and service to anyone, and their requests in their own behalf and in behalf of anyone in their experience.
Bring forth the Great Light, bring forth the great Truth. Manifest it in each one of these Thy Children. Sustain it from henceforth. Empower it with the Pure White Fire Love Substance from the Great Central Sun. And see to it indeed that each one who is awakening here, that their experience and their expression is part of the Ascended Masters' Divine Plan fulfilled, to the expansion of the Light, to the good of all concerned. So be it.”

Open your eyes. Be here and now. We thank you for being here this evening. We thank you indeed for the Light that is expanding within each and every one. As you go upon your way, as you go forth into the evening, carry the Light, and carry the Love that is coming in at this time. And though the words that we speak to you may cease in this manner, we will accompany each one of you and continue to be with you. Once your make this connection, you never lose it. We will be there to assist you.
And as always, though we leave you now in this understanding, we're only a loving thought away. So be it!

DISCOURSE VIII
SELF-EMPOWERMENT WITH LIGHT
White Light, Love and Decrees; Receiving Power
September 13, 1992

Beloved Masters, welcome once again to this place and to this time. We bring you a most special greeting this evening from a Great Being of Light that might be known as the Elohim of Humor. There have been so-called only seven Elohim. We also want you to know there are some very wonderful members of the Seraphim and Cherubim that graduated. And so therefore there are about to be 144 Elohim very shortly in what might be the understanding of time. In another understanding, of course, it has always been that way.
Those Beings are actually Unlimited in number, but certainly we would say, in what is the understanding of this universe, it is appropriate from time to time to place certain specific numbers on things because it helps you, since so much of what you interpret is at the intellectual level.
However, this evening we were giving consideration to doing a most special talk called the “Talk of Silence,” in which there would be no words; there would only be an energy that comes through. But we realize that a lot of you would have a very difficult time sitting here for 59 minutes or so in total silence. You might find yourselves feeling a little bit edgy or uneasy, wondering what in the world is going on.
So we will continue with our normal mode of bringing information to you So at this time we invite you to become quiet, to close your eyes, take a deep breath, hold it for just a moment, and then let it out. Allow yourself to be at peace; allow yourself to be in this place and this time. Now, some of you are accustomed perhaps to going out of body. We ask you to be here and be now, be in this place and this time.

Invocation

“Beloved Great All That Is All In All, we do indeed once again give thanks for all those that are gathered here this evening. We ask Thy Blessing upon each and every one; that that which is rendered in service to them, they would indeed be able therefore to take it with them throughout every experience for the duration of this incarnation as it is understood to be; that it would bring Lightness; that it would bring Joy; that it would bring an increase in Happiness and Harmony, in Prosperity, in all that they deem at any level of their consciousness to be that which is called good.
For indeed we would say that all is Good in Thy Name, and therefore all is good upon this plane. And each one is therefore learning how to bring that forth into their experience. May these words this evening therefore assist in empowering each one, that they may experience the very greatest and the highest of Light, Love, Truth and Joy from this day forward, to the good of all concerned. So be it.”

Now, Empowerment with Light. Personal or Self-Empowerment with Light. Automatically, you sort of have an idea of what that is about. And we will say that certainly from a certain etheric perspective it certainly has to do with meditation, filling yourself with White Light and various other colors when it is appropriate to do so.
But we're also going to give you some very practical suggestions, some of which you may know already or may have heard about, some of which are relevant for this time of the year as it were, and some that perhaps you didn't know about. These practical suggestions are the things that you can do, things that you can say, both for your own personal and self-empowerment and to assist all others who come into your energy field.
The first thing this evening therefore that is most important for you at this time is to understand that in order to be in alignment and in harmony with the energies that are coming in at this time that are seeking to en-Lighten you, bring you into the Light, we are talking about filling yourself with White Light.
The more that you fill yourself with White Light, it will increase your awareness. With acute, sharp, perceptive awareness, you will be able to know what is going on within. There won't be any of this so-called subconscious or unconscious issues or blockages or things like that.
Now, granted it takes time because you exist in time. And each and every soul is evolving in a different way and has its own timing in a manner of speaking. But you can certainly assist at the conscious level in speeding up much of this timing with the activities, with the meditations, with the spiritual practices that you employ. That's one of the reasons that you are here incarnated upon this planet at this time, because of the opportunities that are represented in the context of all the wonderful ramifications of change.
Whenever there is change, as in a person's life, it is the opportunity for spiritual growth. When a person chooses to make changes in their life, they are choosing growth. When a person is resistant to change, then they are oftentimes resisting their own growth into greater Unlimitedness. With the Light, with the White Light in particular, with your practice every day, sometimes 3, 5, 7, 10, 12 times a day, it only takes a few seconds to envision yourself being filled with White Light. But as you do so, your awareness increases.
Now, with the increase in awareness, then you have, for example, the awareness of what you might call a behavioral pattern. And if a behavioral pattern has produced a certain result in your life that you find is inappropriate or undesirable, then with the awareness that maybe “here it is once again,” it gives you the opportunity to make choices.
But your words are very important here, and speaking certain words is very important. You want to acknowledge your awareness, your awareness of what might be called a limited behavioral pattern. In acknowledging that awareness, you are getting some of the energy of that pattern out of the physical body. It is actually cleansing to you to speak words such as “I Am aware that I feel...” [whatever the emotion may be]. And you can carry it eventually a step further than that and say such things as “I AM aware that I chose to feel...” [whatever the feeling may be].
One of the premises in psychology, traditional therapeutic psychology, has to do with repressed emotion. This is a very valid thing for anyone on a spiritual path. If you have repressed emotions (and everyone does) from infancy, childhood and adolescence, then it can form an unconscious blockage towards that which you are seeking to employ now, which is your knowledge of all the spiritual principles, the spiritual laws, the laws of life and the like in your own life. And sometimes you wonder why is it that they don't work in the way that it seems like they should.
It's a very dangerous thing sometimes for a lot of people to come into the knowledge of something that they are ill-prepared to actualize in a practical sense. This has a tendency to cause a lot of people to get into delusionment, to become very disappointed and almost with feelings of abject failure in terms of what they're trying to achieve in their lives.
What we want to do is to assist you in a more practical way of what you can do, so that you can avoid some of those pitfalls, some of those traps that may even now be affecting you subtlety or otherwise.
Now, we have to be very careful how we do this, because one of the most important principles is that “whatever you give attention to in your life you are empowering into experience.” So one of the very first and most important premises in using the techniques and the technologies and the tools that we give to you is that we want you to do it within the context of loving yourself just as you are.
Now, that's a biggie right there, because a lot of you sometimes look at yourselves and you want to do something about your physical body, or you look at your life in some way and you want to do something about your financial situation or your health or improve your relationships or whatever it may be. So there's automatically a certain level, certain areas in your life where you have a lot of judgments, a lot of energy such that you're focusing that energy, we're going to simply say quite bluntly, incorrectly.
While we know from the highest perspective that is not so. But from the perspective of what you say you want and where you are, where you are desiring to and aspiring to expand the Light within and free yourself from the limitations, we would say that there are certainly times when the energy that coming in is misused. So we want to help you in understanding how you can free yourself from that. One of the first things, of course, then relates to these repressed emotions.
The normal process in psychological therapy is of course, a longterm process. And unfortunately there are a lot of people involved in psychology that unconsciously fear giving someone a tool that could set them free in a matter of days. Instead they often take the approach and the attitude that it takes years and years of therapy. Now, this is not intended to in any way invalidate that process. It does work. However, the continued backward look at one’s life risks creating the repetition of events.
You have a phrase that “history has a way of repeating itself.” One of the causes of that is by the power of one’s attention. As we said earlier, whatever you give your attention to, you are feeding your life energy into it, and empowering more of it into expression, into reality, into perhaps your own experience.
Another cause of “history repeating itself” is when the lessons are not learned so that you, or any group of you, does not consciously make different choices. Awareness brings the opportunity, but you must make the choice as to how you use that awareness in your own life.
From our observations we have noticed that there are some who are very willing to let go of the alter-ego identifications of limitation. Now, if that is not clear to you, what we mean by that is that maybe you have an alter-ego identification of being abused, or maybe you have an alter-ego identification of experiencing lack, or maybe you have an alter-ego identification of sickness in the physical body.
Whatever you have, it is produced at the alter-ego level. It is therefore primarily what we are going to call illusion. It's very real where you are; we know that. But in fact, since it is not of the purity of the Light, it is not therefore of real substance. It is of misqualified energy.
Therefore, the way to free yourself from it is to love it away from you. What does that mean? Now, we've shared with some of you who have been to our talks before here, we shared with you that from our perspective we say there is only One Law in the Universe, and that is the Law of Love. The Law of Love states that “Whatever you love, you become.” Furthermore, in the three-dimensional realm, the activity of the Law of Love is giving your attention to a thing.
So there are some people who have a misunderstanding about how to apply the Law of Love in terms of releasing themselves from limitation. The actual activity of applying the Law of Love is giving your attention to something that is of greater Unlimitedness, ceasing giving the attention to something of limitation.
Now. However, with respect to repressed emotion, since there is that within you in some cases (not everyone, but most people; everyone goes through it eventually, but not everyone necessarily that we speak to is still saddled with a lot of repressed emotion), but one of the things that is necessary is to be able to get that up and out, to free yourself from it.
You do this with the Light. That is the gentlest way to do so. But it means that you have to be aware, alert and very kind and gentle with yourself. Can you do that? From our perspective, of course you can. The next question is, “Are you willing to do that?” Well, the intellect says, “Well, but of course.” But the intellect doesn't realize that, because it is so intimately connected to alter ego, the alter ego does not want to give up that identity. So it takes a determined effort of using the Light, typically from 30 to 90 days.
Now, with the energy that is here at this time, it is conceivable that you could do it in as little as seven days, and it is conceivable that if you chose not to, you could spend the next 100,000 million lifetimes seeking to do so. It's a matter of choices and what do you really want. Do you mean it when you say you want to grow? Do you really mean it, and do you know what you mean when you say that you want the Light to come in, that you want all this Unlimitedness?
We know that's primarily coming from what the intellect thinks it's all about, rather than from the feeling of knowing what it's really all about. We assist each and every one of you. And your own Higher Self and Beloved Great Soul Being is not going to allow you to process at the conscious level any more energy than what you can do without say destroying yourself in some way.
But with the energy that is here now, this increase in the energy density is certainly making it possible for the speedup of your thought and feeling to manifest very quickly. You're feeling all the time, but you're not necessarily aware of what you're feeling. So the purpose of the White Light is to bring you a greater sense of awareness.
Now, with that greater sense of awareness, you may notice your feelings becoming a little more intense. Your feeling is really your power. And if you want your life to be greater than what it is, you are in effect saying that you want to have dominion and control over a greater flow of power. And since that power is your feeling, you have to be aware of the feeling in order to be able to consciously, through thought, direct the power so that it is not misqualified, but does indeed empower what you want to experience.
When you come into the awareness of how to create, you also have the responsibility to begin using that knowledge and applying it to create in your life. Not that some of you aren't even beyond that, in a manner of speaking, in that there can be a total trust and surrender to the Beloved Great I AM Presence of God within you, your own Soul/Spirit, your own Higher Self, Higher Mental Body, whatever term you want to call it, God within. There's a lot of terminology that's used to describe the same thing. So whatever you feel comfortable with, certainly go ahead and use.
Now, in the context therefore of releasing this energy of the repressed emotion, there are several other ways that you could go through releasing it. One is to call it forth. In other words you could do this in the mornings of your time, when you have about an hour, and you're in a safe place where you're willing to feel whatever comes up, without destroying any property or damaging yourself or anything. This is something that we do advise a little care in, because there are some people who do have a lot of repressed emotion, and it is blocking their experience. But there are times when this might be an appropriate process. It is simply to say something like this:
“Mighty I AM Presence, Beloved Great Soul Being that I AM, I call forth now to own in this hour, that I feel in this hour, any repressed anger from infancy, childhood and adolescence. See to it that all of it is brought forward into this hour and owned in this hour, and that I am set free from that energy forever.”
Now, we would also advise you to do certain other things perhaps that you sense, especially if you have any idea at all that you may have a lot of repressed anger within. How can you know? Do you draw to you situations or circumstances that you find yourself gritting your teeth, huffing and puffing? Do you have to take deep breaths a lot of time? Sighs or whatnot? Do you find yourself feeling depressed?
You know, we spoke with you, and we of course had the one through whom we speak write an article concerning this symptom called depression. There are a lot of entities for whom that represents a symptom that is associated with the genetic changes taking place in the physical body. But one of the other causes of depression is repressed anger. So it is important to look at these things.
And it's also important to realize that there are a lot of times when you are affected by atmospheric conditions, such as the quantity of light, interestingly, coming from the Sun. Once again, while we hesitate to use what might be called psychological terms, there is one here that is very appropriate for this time of year. SAD, Seasonal Affective Disorder. That is, there are some people that when the light from the sun grows less and less each day, they start to feeling a little more depressed. One of the ways that you can combat that involves a threefold process. If you experience this for any reason, if in the fall and toward the winter you find yourself feeling more sluggish or more prone to any sadness or depression or anything like that, then this is a very important thing to do.
1) Have more lights on around you, electric lights. That is a form of light. 2) Be outside more. Get physical activity. Move your body. 3) Go into meditation and visualize yourself being filled with Light. The more that you visualize yourself being filled with Light, that is actually a Light that is at a higher frequency, interestingly, than most of the light that is coming from the sun, and it too will have its effect.
So, when you do this, what can you expect? What might you find going on in your life? Once again, the Light is going to increase awareness. It's going to do a lot of other wonderful things too for you, by the way. It's going to assist in the processes, let us say, that are speeding up the genetic changes so that you acclimate to these increases in the energy densities far more easily. In that way, you find that it's far easier to use the energies that are here for what they're intended to be used. And they are intended to be used to lovingly create the reality that you desire.
Now, you're not always consciously connected with what your Soul/Spirit and Higher Self desires for you. But we will put it to you in terms such as we said last night, that whenever you have a joyful desire for something, it is that your own Beloved Great Soul Being and your own Higher Self want to give that to you. And it is not supposed to be about effort, it's not supposed to be about work, it's not supposed to be about struggle or any of those kinds of things. When it becomes work, when it becomes struggle or effort, that is the alter ego identities and limitations getting in the way.
When you are aware of that, acknowledge your awareness. The more that you acknowledge yourself, you are empowering yourself. The more that you acknowledge what you know, when you come into the awareness and the knowingness of something, that's going to help to trigger certain functions physiologically in the body that actually speed up your knowingness even more.
When you use words like "I know, I know," there's actually a physiological process that responds to the very vowel sounds themselves of the words "I know." The pineal and pituitary glands secrete hormones that activate certain cells in the brain that are receivers, and they allow you to receive higher thought. Whenever you have a question about something, one of the things that you can do is say, "I AM the Knowingness of the answer to this question. I AM the Presence which brings this Knowingness into my conscious awareness now."
Affirm everything as "NOW," because that is the truth. One of the most important words that you have in your vocabulary is NOW. Two of the worst words you have is "if" and "when," because you are implying a future in which you want a thing, and as long as you say "if," it may never happen; and whenever you say "when," you are pushing away perhaps the very thing that you want to have. If you keep affirming "NOW," that is what brings it into your reality far more quickly.
But let's look at some specific experiences, because there are a lot of entities in this area of the country, for example here in this wonderful city, who come here and they find challenges in finances or challenges in health or something of that nature. So why is it then that it seems like with all your affirming, with your all your saying and everything else, why doesn't it really happen? That's a big question that lot of people have.
Well, part of the reason for that is that it may be that your Higher Self and Soul/Spirit wants you to learn a different way to create things. You've been creating more from an alter-ego, a mental, intellectual level. You're just beginning now to learn how to use the energies of Divine Love through which eventually all things will manifest upon this plane from henceforth. The time is not here quite yet, and there are lots of entities who are still locked into much of the ego creation that you see in the rest of the world.
But you are on a different pathway. Let them have their reality. Bless them and love them for it. They are growing at their own pace and in their own way. And many are actually far more advanced spiritually than you could possibly imagine at this time, because you never know how an Ascended Master may come into your life. You may never know what disguise that entity may take. They may appear to be someone that you know and thought that you knew, but momentarily it could be an Ascended Master speaking through them.
But be that as it may, since the way that you're creating and the way that you're learning to create things now is through Love, what about the situation where perhaps you have called forth, you require money or you want healing or you want a relationship healed, and it just seems like with all your efforts it seems that it has not worked the way you have wanted it to. Why not?
Well, the very first thing that we're going to say unto you is that the question “why?” comes from the alter ego. You immediately disconnected from your Source when you start saying things like, “Why hasn't it happened yet?” “Why didn't it happen the way I decreed it?”
The other thing that we would say unto you is that to have that power such that what you decree for yourself would come forth immediately, means that whatever you think and feel all the time is going to happen. That Energy of God, that ability, does not discriminate between whether you have a joyful feeling or a sad feeling. It's only going to manifest experiences that duplicate whatever the feeling is that you are qualifying your energies with, the energy of the thought that comes to you.
You could have a thought about money and a thought about receiving money, but the feeling within you is still of lack, of anxiety, of stress, of jealousy or envy of anyone that has something that you want. Then whatever experience comes to you is going to be qualified with that energy or feeling that you are putting out. And remember, you are feeling all the time.
The most important thing that you can do then in your behalf first of all is to resolve those unresolved emotions that may still remain within you. And you do this primarily at this time most gently, most effectively and most quickly by filling yourself with Light. The Light is going to bring your the awareness, and you're going to acknowledge what you become aware of. That helps to get it out, and you start becoming more released from it.
Additionally, the White Light, since it contains all vibrations, also contains the Violet Light. But you can use the Violet Light specifically for cleansing and purification, especially of the emotional aura, the mental aura and the spiritual aura, the causal aura. In doing so, when you start filling yourself also with the Violet Light and using the Violet Flame, when you do that you are accomplishing both a cleansing in the now of whatever energy you may be having coming through you now, but you're also cleansing past misqualified energy. It could be from this lifetime. It could be whatever accumulation of misqualified energy you may have in your life.
Now, if you've been misqualifying energy from somewhere nigh onto the neighborhood of say 3 to 7 million years, and if you assume at the ego level that you're going to erase all of that in a manner of a couple of days, that's one of the reasons you get yourselves out onto limbs and in trouble and into delusion and disillusion.
So we want to be very practical and realistic. We don't want to limit what we know you can do, but we also don't want you to get unrealistic in your expectations, because in doing that you're actually doing yourself an injustice. And there are many entities who are seeking to bring you truth. But sometimes you're not fully prepared for that truth. And it's actually doing you an injustice because you try a thing and when it doesn't work, sometimes you give up and actually misqualify more energy in that feeling of desperation or anger or resentment, that feeling of “why didn't it work,” and that kind of thing. You actually do more damage to yourself than what you would have done if you had just done nothing at all.
So here again, in your application, rather than get fixed on needing a result manifested physically, rather than do that, simply just keep filling yourself with Light and speaking certain decrees in your behalf, and not into anxious expectation about needing to see a result right away. Then when something happens, it's a joyful surprise, and that joy lifts you higher and actually increases your ability to create, to manifest with the energies that are here.
If on the other hand you started doing things for the specific purpose of creating a certain experience by a certain time, then when it didn't happen, if it didn't -- and we're not going to say it won't, because you can -- but to say that you can doesn't necessarily mean that you will, because everyone of you is autonomous and sovereign and the authorities of your life --but if you do decree this thing and it didn't happen, don't you see that you get disappointed, you get frustrated, you get angry. You get angry with Spirit for example. “Well, Spirit told me such and such a thing was going to happen by such and such a time. Why didn't it happen then?”
Well, one of the things we want you to understand is our perspective. Our perspective is such that we have an understanding of time in a far different manner than you do, because all things exist simultaneously. So no matter what you desire, as we've shared with you, you could not even have the desire if your Beloved Great Soul Being and Higher Self had not already created it for you. So it exists. And we see it in your energy field. It's there.
You exist in time. And your perception of time is a little bit different, because your perception of time is qualified by the senses of the physical body. And by virtue of that much lower frequency of perception, you're not always able to see etherically what’s on its way to you. If you could change your attitude such that each time you had a joyful desire about something you “wanted,” if you could change that (notice we're using the word "if"; we give ourselves poetic license to do so), [audience laughter] but if you could do that and change the attitude such that you would start saying instead, “Aha, here is something my Soul/Spirit wants to give to me. Maybe it will come to me today. Wonderful.” Then you start getting into joyful expectancy rather than anxious expectation.
Both energies are extremely powerful. One is extremely powerful in magnetizing you and electrifying you to draw to you that joyful experience. The other equally repels it. It's your choice.
So what happened for a lot of entities? Why didn't the things come to them that perhaps Spirit sometimes says? The biggest reason is that rather than it be that joyful, loving and gracious, grateful attitude of expectancy, it is more often qualified by anxiety, by emotional need. There are a lot of people who want something in their life because they think it's going to make them happy.
There was a program that the one through whom we speak saw here recently. This afternoon Ross Pirot was on television. It was a call-in interview kind of thing, and one of the people asked him, “What does it feel like to be a billionaire.” And his answer interestingly was, “You know, money doesn't bring you happiness. Money is one of the least important things in the world.” Well, one could say, “That's easy for him to say because he's got plenty of it!” And that's true.
But what he said was important and is a far greater truth. “Happiness is within.” He has a wonderful wife, a wonderful family, wonderful grandchildren, and he loves life.
Do you love life? Do you love what life has given to you as the life that you are? Can you feel grateful, can you feel that gratitude all the time for the life that you are? Begin using the Light and it will increase your feeling of gratitude for life, for all life.
And you will also notice, some of you perhaps if you haven't been, you will also notice a greater respect for all of life. And you will also notice you're letting go perhaps of some of the, we're going to call them petty judgments of others.
Now that is kind of a judgmental term in itself, but it is applicable in this situation, because there are times when you have opinions. You have opinions about entities, you have opinions about your friends, you have opinions about people in the city, you have opinions about the people you left behind to move here, some of you. Those opinions come from the alter ego, and you're misqualifying energy everytime you have an opinion about someone.
When you start using the Divine Love, that energy of Divine Love that is here now, in the way in which it is intended at the highest level, you start seeing literally only the Divine in all of life. And what you see is what you get. If you see only limitations; if you see your friends only with their issues, their challenges, then you are in effect only seeing that for yourself.
Now, there are some exceptions to this, so we don't want you to necessarily think that you have to stop being real and being honest with yourself about where you are, because there are times when you have to admit to yourself, hey, you don't feel real hunky-dory about yourself. And you’ve got to admit it. Then you can take the next step to where you can apply the greater principles and the greater truths.
If you are in a state for example of finances where emotionally you're in a great state of need, then it's not going to do you one bit of good to try to envision all this money coming to you. It may; it may not; but more than likely it won't, because your energy of emotion is what you're empowering the thought with. You're clothing that thought with the misqualified energy of need. And all you end up creating is more experiences next week, next month, that are qualified with that emotion.
If you cease reacting to the events of the day, whatever happened, because you created that yesterday, last week, last month, last year - if you cease reacting to it and start affirming only the joy and the happiness and the good, “All is good in my world. All is in Divine Order,” things like this; using the Violet Flame, issuing your decrees that Only Happiness and Harmony, Love and Light come into my experience, eventually, because you're Unlimited God-Beings, that must come forth. If you affirm, if you say, “I AM” to a thing long enough, you're going to become it. That is one of the simple laws of life, and it even goes beyond whatever you're feeling emotionally. It can transcended that. The power of the spoken word. Now emotion is at a higher frequency, but eventually if you speak a thing long enough it's going to happen.
How long? That's the ego that wants to know how long. When? Remember. If? Why? Where? To question a thing is to express doubt, and doubt is one of the most insidious energies that delays your Unlimited. Yet you exist in it, you're surrounded by thoughts and feelings of doubt all the time. Yet you can call upon the Great I AM Presence of God within you to start cleansing away, with the Mighty Violet Flame, even all energies of doubt that have every registered at any level of your consciousness.
Call that forth, that Violet Flame to start doing that in your life. Then you're going to find yourself being able to connect with a desire, and you will have that feeling of Knowing that it's on its way to you; that the mere fact that you could register the thought in your consciousness means that it is on its way somehow to you. And you want to be wide awake and alert to the doorway of opportunity to manifest it into your experience.
There will be times, of course, when, if there is a thing that you desire, it means there are activities that you must do. But do that which brings you joy. Let the feeling of joy, which is given to you from your Higher Self and Higher Mental Body and registered electrically in the physical body, let that feeling of joy be one of your primary guides. And if you do, you will find yourself being led quite naturally into higher and greater Light, Love, Truth, Joy, Happiness, Prosperity, well-being, all that you call desirable and good in your world.
Certain things (there are) that you can speak in your own behalf. There are many of the Divine Rays, and the Divine Rays are administered by the Great Beings of Light who are the personifications of all those desirable qualities that are even within you. Whatever quality, there is a Divine Ray for it, there's a Great Being of Light that is the administrator of that Ray. You can call forth the Divine Ray and bring it into your experience. You can even more powerfully invoke it in behalf of other people.
You see, more often than not, what you call forth for yourself, it is because you don’t think you have it or you don't feel you have it or you don't know you already have it. But what you call forth for another person, you don't have that emotion around it of lack or need. Yet that same energy flows through you when it goes to another person. So when you decree and call forth energies or things for other people, it affects you very greatly. In so doing, which is one of the big things that we talked about last night, you are empowering yourself by rendering a great service to other people.
There are times, however, when perhaps there is an immediate need, and it's legitimate, it's critical in a manner of speaking because you may be dealing with a crisis of some kind. So in order to be able to handle those situations more effectively, we want you to be aware of how you can call upon the Great Beings of Light. And to do that is to qualify whatever you request, that it be part of the Ascended Masters' Divine Plan fulfilled upon this plane, meaning that whenever you request a thing for your own personal immediate needs, also request 1) that it be eternally sustained, 2) that it be qualified with the Ascended Masters consciousness, and 3) that it be qualified with the Ascended Masters Pure White Fire Love Substance from the Great Central Sun as part of the Ascended Masters Divine Plan fulfilled upon this plane.
So all three of those things apply when you are requesting things in behalf of yourself, and they equally can apply when you are invoking the Divine Rays on behalf of other people, and it is appropriate for you to do so.
Now, a couple of other things, and then we are going to be resting for a few minutes as it were and we'll answer some questions. We would invite you in the context of questions to think about what would benefit everyone, rather than necessarily just what is a personal concern. But before we do that, we want you to close your eyes once again.
We want to bring some energy in at this time to help in an integration process. Here we want you to envision forming in this room now, filling this room, the Golden Light of Divine Wisdom and Divine Love.
Now Golden Light is also the energy that assists in the integration of intellectual knowledge into Absolute Knowing that is registered within the Soul. It is particularly useful in the context of when you observe things in the outer world, and if you for any reason have an intense emotional judgment about whatever you observe, it may mean that you have not yet created experience for the understanding. In this way, you can use the Golden Light of Divine Wisdom and Divine Love to integrate the knowledge of the experience directly into understanding, so that then you have compassion; you do understand, and you don't have to create the experience in your own life.
But here tonight we want to use this for integrating right now some of what you have heard this evening. So envision, see yourself, visualize yourself being filled with the Golden Light at this time. And as this Light is beaming down upon each person, it is also beginning to broaden. First, it begins with individual beams. But each beam begins to broaden so that it becomes a single beam filling this entire room, filling this entire home and filling this entire city, and finally filling this entire planet. See that now, that the whole planet is receiving this Golden Light.
And the next thing is to envision the Violet Light doing the same thing. First of all, it starts off as separate beams filling each and every one of you, coming into the top of your head, the crown chakra. But then that beam begins to broaden, and it surrounds you completely. Then it starts to merge with the other beams of everyone else in this room until it becomes a single beam filling this entire room, expanding once again to fill the entire home, this entire city, and finally this entire planet.
And the third beam of Light that we want you to receive this evening is a Clear Pink Light of self-love and self-forgiveness. Once again, it starts off as individual beams of Light coming into the crown chakra, filling your entire being, even your physical body with this Light, growing, expanding, merging with the other beams of Light so that it becomes a single beam of Light filling this entire room, then the entire home, this entire city, and this whole planet.
Now, in your own meditations, if you would do that same thing you are automatically implying the expansion of Light within you and the expansion of Light upon the planet. And so it is, because you are beginning to learn how to speak with the language of Light in so doing. It's no longer words. It's no longer from the alter ego, the intellect, the mind. It's from the language of Light and feeling. And that is how you communicate and how you will eventually begin learning to communicate as the Light increases its expansion on this plane.
It enhances telepathic communication, but telepathic communication is still verbal in nature for most people, meaning it's in words. That is still very limited because words are very limited. But when you start attuning to communicating with Light and sensing and perceiving with Light, it will empower you.
There is no entity upon this plane nor in any other realm or dimension who is any better than you or who is any greater than you. It is only that you have chosen a different experience. You forgot who you are. You are remembering.
And if any entity purports itself to be greater than you, be very careful. That entity may be seeking to cause you to become dependent upon them.
Now it matters not how you perceive yourself, when you use the knowledge and apply the knowledge that you have with such as “I know, I AM the Knowing.” You will expand your knowing. When you use the Light, you are going to increase your awareness; you are going to surround yourself in this White Light that protects you automatically at all times. When you cleanse with the Violet Light, when you fill yourself with the Pink Light and the Golden Light, you are doing wonderful things for your being and for the entire planet as well.
It is very appropriate for you to do so if you have not been doing so. Some of you have sporadically let's say. The more consistent that you are with it, the better it is going to function in your life. If you were to say be a 4-year-old child sitting down at a piano for the first time, you probably wouldn't do very much. Well, that is kind of the way it is with a lot of the energies that are coming in now, and the spiritual tools, the knowledge that you have. Oh yes, we know that a lot of you want to think that you are highly evolved, very advanced and the like.
Will you accept in great humility and in great gratitude that that may or may not be true, and it doesn't matter whether it's true or not. What matters is what you feel. And we can use matter there as a verb.
What creates experiences in your life is what you truly feel. And oftentimes the thoughts concerning one's relative evolution also comes from alter ego, of wanting or needing to be better than another in some way. But at the Soul level there's a grand equality. And we want you to begin being able to acknowledge that equality; and as you do so, you are acknowledging an equality that is far grander than what your imagination could contemplate at this time. But in giving your attention to that and acknowledging that grand, wonderful Unlimited Equality, by the power therefore of the Love that flows through you in that process you start becoming that Unlimited Being that you've always been.
We love you greatly, very greatly. And the energy of Love is coming to each and every one of you at this time. If you will allow it, it will transform much of what has transpired in your life in a very wonderful way. And it can do so. If you feel stress, if you feel that there is resistance in your life in certain areas, from our perspective we would say that is only the alter ego trying to hang on or hold onto identities of limitation. If you will be willing to let it go, and talk to your Beloved Great Soul Being like the great friend that it is. You don't have to be so ritualized in the words that you use.
Prayer is a wonderful thing. Speak to yourself, talk to your Beloved Great Soul Being. Tell it what you're feeling. Tell it what you want. Ask for what you desire. And ask that all that is good be eternally sustained for everyone upon this planet. They are just as deserving as you are, not matter what the appearance is, no matter what it may seem that they are going through.
From a different perspective, there will come a day when you will see the Light, and you will see what we shall call “the nature of reality in truth,” rather than in illusion. This is the realm of illusion, but it is also the realm where there is a great spiritual growth because it's also where things manifest physically. You touch them, you hold them. The realm of time. A most important place in your own growth and your own expansion, especially now with the opportunities that are here.
At this time, however, we would say that the time has come that we must depart. While our words in this manner may cease, while what we share with you in this manner may cease temporarily, we're always with you. We are always seeking to bring more Light into your experience and into your expression, that you would then express more Light and Love for all of Life, and especially the life that you are.
Be kind and gentle with yourselves and with your brothers and sisters. They need you and you need them. It is a grand cooperation that is taking (place) here to expand the Light on this planet.

Benediction:

“Beloved I AM Presence, God All That Is, we do indeed give thanks this evening that each one of these has received and integrated a grand Knowing of something. While they may not know it intellectually in this moment, when they awaken in the morning, their life will be changed. They will begin living a little differently. They will begin manifesting a little more quickly, a little more joyfully. They will begin feeling better in physical body. There will be healing in relationships. There will be more opportunities for prosperity, over and above just in the form money. And there will be a grand Knowing and Awakening of the Unlimitedness that is in each one. We decree this therefore to be accomplished in behalf of the expansion of Light on this plane. And so it is. So Be it!”

We love you greatly, and though we leave you in this manner and in this time, as always we're only a loving thought away. So be it.

DISCOURSE IX
EMPOWERMENT THROUGH GRATITUDE
GIVING AND RECEIVING, EMOTIONS AND FEELING
September 20, 1992

Beloved Masters, welcome once again to this place and to this time. We bring you a most hearty greeting this evening from a most wonderful entity, a most wonderful Cosmic Being of Light who will shortly be much better known to each and every one of you. Indeed, it is the Beloved Great Cosmic Being by the name of Victory. Some of you have perhaps been involved with the St. Germain material and understand in Volume IX some of the teachings that this most Beloved Entity has brought forth upon this plane.
And indeed we would say unto you that there is about to come into your experience, shall we say, a very personal experience with this most Beloved Entity. For part of its purpose now and part of what is the shifting energies that are taking place at this time relates to your achieving a sense of Victory within your own life in many endeavors that you are seeking to do same.
So this evening, as always we invite you to close your eyes, become quiet for a moment, allow yourselves to be at peace.

Invocation:

“Mighty I AM Presence, Beloved Great God, All That Is, we do indeed give thanks this evening that the Victory of the Light in each and every person's life who is here and those who may hear or read these words at a later time, that this Victory is manifesting, yea even as these words are being spoken; that the genetic changes taking place within are allowing a greater expansion of the Light within; that the Love that is coming forth upon this plane and soon to be grounded into this plane once again will be manifesting in each one's life as very wonderful experiences of Lightness, of Joy, of Happiness and of the real meaning of Love as it has always been known in the Greater Realms.
We do indeed also give thanks this evening for each one who is here, that they may integrate and take with them a vibration of the highest of Light, Love and Truth. And that as they walk through each coming day, that this Love be eternally sustained in their experience so that each person they come into contact with is indeed also effected by this Light and this Love coming forth. To the good of all concerned, we decree this to be so. So be it.”

Now, this evening to continue on our topic of Empowerment, we want to discuss with you two very important aspects of Empowerment. One is called Giving and Receiving. Now, you've had certain understandings regarding giving and receiving. It was even brought forth in religious dogma and doctrine, the concept of the tithe. You've learned a lot about what it feels like from time to time to give and to receive. We want to expand your understanding of that a little bit more this evening, and show you indeed perhaps how you can achieve a greater sense of self-empowerment through both your willingness to receive and your willingness to give; and to define in terms of what the energies are now what real giving and receiving is becoming.
It's no longer so much in a context, let us say, that you must give before you receive, interestingly, because you are moving into a space and time where there's a greater integration of the Higher Self, the Soul-Spirit and your conscious mind. And as that integration is taking place then, you find that you yourself at the conscious level begin to have experiences so that future, present and past are simultaneous. Some of this you're already beginning to experience in dream state. Some of the dreams that you have, many of them relate to what might be called “past lives,” in a manner of speaking. Many of them relate to even future possibilities.
Yet there are many possibilities for your future, not the least of which of course is receiving all the Love, all the Light, all the Joy, all the Happiness, the Prosperity, the Health and Well-Being that you could possibly ever desire, and even more so than you can possibly consciously conceive at this time. All of that is indeed a possibility.
But you know that we deal in more practical terms. You know that we deal in the context of being honest with yourself, knowing where you are, and knowing how to apply spiritual Principles and Truth in a way so that you actually begin having an experience for yourself. It is far more important for you in that regard to know what you can practically do and practically experience, and in so doing therefore actually have the experiences and the circumstances of higher and greater Light, Love, Truth and Joy manifest into your world.
So how does this relate to giving and receiving? Well, right now, in this day and time, in this moment in which we're speaking, the Energy Density has increased from what it was about 10 years ago, it has increased by a factor of about one million, pretty close to it. For some it may be slightly more; for others, it may be less, because there is a certain individualistic factor that is involved in this energy that is coming forth.
So very many times you may find that this Energy Density increase has speeded up the experiences in your life. It has also brought forth many more opportunities, and likewise it is now bringing forth into your experience a greater understanding of the simultaneous existence of future, present and past.
Now, therefore, when you think about giving and when you think about receiving, one of the things that you were taught at one time was that in order to receive you had to give first. And a lot of times that came either from individuals who in some way might have benefitted from your giving; or from institutions, corporations or concepts or whatnot. And there is truth in that, not the least of which reason being that you existed in linear time.
But linear time is not quite as “solid” as it used to be, in a manner of speaking, meaning that each one of you may start experiencing those time warps, time shifts, past remembrances, future remembrances and the like. And it may seem like an unusual experience. It may seem odd to you. And certainly the intellect, the conscious mind, has a difficult time relating to the simultaneous existence of one's future and one's past in a now and experiencing at some level.
But also we want to share with you that the primary experience of the future and the past, with the Energy that is here now, relates to Joy and Happiness, Light and Love, and all that you would deem at some level of your being to be good, right and just, so to speak.
To give, when you realize Who You Really Are, to give is to receive. The Great Beings of Light, such as ourselves, the Ascended Masters, the Great Ones, all of the Angelic Realm, the Seraphim, the Cherubim, the Elohim, are compelled to give because it is in the giving that we receive. Therefore, we never think of receiving because it's an automatic.
It is only our nature to give of that which we are. In your giving likewise, you were taught to give of what you have, and it was thought of in materialistic terms. We want to reframe that this evening so that you understand that the true giving comes from a much higher frequency, and the true giving is not material. It is in your feeling. It is in what you give in terms of energy.
That giving therefore is more in the context of the Love and the Light that you give forth to all of life. All of life. Not just to people, by the way, that you find compatible in your life. But it is when you are able to give love, even to those that you may vehemently object to for some reason, for whatever reason, that is when you are transmuting the energy that is within so that the Light does indeed expand within you.
Now each one of you has already had innumerable experiences of people who seemingly have brought you pain or difficulties or challenges. Maybe you have found it within yourself to “forgive.” Maybe you've found it within yourself to let go without any judgment, or maybe you haven't. But one of the very important requisites for a much greater expansion of the Light within you relates to holding only thoughts of Love and Joy for every person in your life. To think otherwise of anyone risks blocking the expansion of Light within you.
So what you are in effect giving to them then is the Love that is flowing through you. The more that you can give Love to all of life, the more that Love flows through you. And it automatically starts transforming your entire world. Automatically. You don't have to think what you need to do at a physical level to create transformation or change or healing. Love is the energy that accomplishes all of that. You don't have to be nearly as physically active, shall we say, trying to surmount and solve the problems at the physical level. Love and the Unlimited Great I AM Presence of God within you, and your love for that Unlimited Presence, does that work for you.
You're going to find yourself embracing another concept that we're going to call the S-A-L of life, which is part of the way you begin to use these new energies that are here. Surrender, Allow and Let Go. In any situation for which you seem to be concerned, there must be a certain level of Surrender, of surrender of what the ego, the intellect or the conscious mind may think is the best thing in the situation, or may think it wants as the outcome. Not that this isn't correct, but many times it really isn't.
But that surrender is to that greater part of you that does understand the nature of the energies that are here, that does understand the nature of the simultaneous existence of future, present and past, and does understand fully every single requirement or need that you have or any desire that you have whatsoever.
And when there is an Allowing. To Allow is to Love in the highest possible Essence of Love itself, because to allow all of life to be as it chooses to be - all of life, not just people: plants and animals, rocks, automobiles, whatever it may be; everything is alive; and when you reach that point where you can truly allow all of life to be as it chooses to be, then the Love is flowing through you. And then you have reached one of those points where even the concept of precipitation becomes easy.
Now, we said we were going to be very practical with you. You're not there. You're not there yet, but you're well on your way. How can you begin actualizing this? Well, we will tell you this. The mere hearing (or reading) of these words starts a process within subconsciously to where you will be brought experiences to assist you along the way.
Now, the experiences that you create give you opportunities to love, to begin loving more unconditionally. This does not mean, however, that you create experiences that contain difficulties in them. You've had enough of those. You've got plenty of those that you can draw upon in remembrance, and simply send Love to them.
Look at your past in this incarnation. Have you ever been hurt? Quite likely. Have you ever been angry? Oh yes. Have you ever felt sad? Many times. Have you ever felt ill, sick? Quite a number of you have.
All of that represents areas of your life where you can send Love, where you can give Love. What do you receive in return? Whatever goes out from you always comes back to you, so you are going to receive Love.
You know, there are many times when people want more energy. Perhaps they are tired, perhaps they are sleepy, perhaps they just simply want to have more energy to be able to do more. The irony is that to have more energy they simply expend more energy.
There are a lot of entities that we notice sit around on their duff quite a bit and do relatively nothing, but there are reasons for that. All of you have been going through genetic changes. All of you have been going through adjustments to these great increases in energy that are here. You are receiving.
Now, you don't necessarily know that what’s, why’s, wherefore’s and all of that in terms of what you really are receiving and what it's doing for you. Not yet. Oh, you have bits and pieces, inklings of ideas or concepts or transcendental kinds of experiences where you get that feeling often. And the emotion that you feel during those moments is a very wonderful and pleasant thing. But if you could see from our perspective your evolution, the Light that is expanding within you, and that each opportunity that you have to give Love, what that does truly do for you in terms of expanding your possibilities, if you could see that, and if you could see your own future possibilities as we do, we would say unto you there would probably never again be a single moment that you would ever choose a thought about anyone less than Love.
Love is the Power; it is the Energy. It is Substance, it is Force. It is an emotion, it is an attitude. It is all things, of course. And the Love that you express for yourself is where you start. So in your own life, what have you created? What have you created perhaps just this day or this week that was less than Light, less than Love? And how can you now send Love to it to begin that transmutation of anything of negativity that may have existed in it?
A powerful affirmation that you can speak to start that process is: “I Am the Victory of my Eternal Release from any substance or energy that has not produced Perfection for me.”
What substance perhaps may you be involved in in some way? You know, there are foods perhaps that you eat. There are such things as cigarettes, alcohol, strong coffee that the Beloved Great Ascended Master St. Germain and others have certainly recommended are not conducive to the expansion of Light. And all of those things are true. There is a certain amount of it that is belief, but there is also a very big portion of it that is very important for you at this time to allow the expansion of the Light within.
If you will say this thing, and if there is some food, some habit, some energy, some person, some attitude, some substance that has had a hold of you physically, emotionally, mentally or otherwise, you start the process of releasing it. You start to embrace indeed what might be called a greater feeling of Freedom.
In order to be able to give unconditionally, you indeed must have a great sense of Freedom. And what has not existed upon this planet for a long time is real Freedom so that the Soul is allowed to grow and expand as it chooses to.
Look at society, all the rules and regulations and laws that supposedly make the society human, make it moral or otherwise. And yet you yourselves, each and every one of you, know that there are many entities that care not for a single rule or law as it were. They make their own rules and laws. And you abide by them mainly out of fear, fear of what the repercussions might be if you violated them in some way.
So how can you give yourself a greater sense of Freedom? How can you release yourself from what might have been a burdensome experience in terms of much of social consciousness and societal rules, laws and regulations? Well, as we mentioned once before, it is not a thing that you necessarily need to consciously approach in terms of what you do at a physical level. We mentioned to you that it all begins and ends within.
If you ask for, call forth and invoke, from the Great I AM Presence of God within you, a greater sense and/or feeling of Freedom, then you will have that feeling. And it is the feeling that is important because it is the feeling therefore that goes out from you as emotion. And in the Energy Density that is here now creates very quickly the experiences to manifest the same feeling later on. It comes back to you.
So what you are giving there, by the way, also effects all the rest of humanity. As you feel joy, it multiplies the joy that is here, and you are therefore giving to life of your joy. As you feel happiness, it multiplies, and you are giving to life of your happiness.
What about the negative emotions? How do they fit into this thing of giving and receiving? Well, certainly you know that by virtue of the veil of energy of social consciousness and the limited thoughts and emotions of humanity that exist around this planet, that when you have negative emotions it doesn't take very long for them to kind of manifest as experiences in your life. So you're in the process of learning how to feel intensely enough of the joyful emotions, the positive emotions, so that it breaks through this veil of energy. And then it can indeed come back to you.
Now, some of you have wondered perhaps why it is that with many of the tools you haven't been able to create the experiences as you would want to at the conscious level. It's actually very simple. You haven't put enough energy into that desire. It hasn't been sincere enough. You haven't been persistent, determined. The energy level of the feeling of joy has been insufficient to break through the veil of social consciousness. But as you keep it up, as you continue to play with it, endeavoring to bring forth a greater intensity of that feeling, it does manifest into your experience. It does break through the veil. Then you are giving to life.
And interestingly, there is a physical phenomena that takes place. It is an energy that beams forth from you, this great joy that you feel when you are attempting to create experiences. And as this energy is beamed forth from you, it splits through this veil of the social consciousness and the negative emotions involved that surround the planet, and it transforms and transmutes a portion of them as that beam of joyful Light goes out from you. So every time you do that, you are helping to heal the planet, and therefore you yourself are likewise healed. And it increases your ability to feel more intensely joyful the next time.
All of you have had joyful experiences. And perhaps you have had some where your joy was so great that you thought, as they sometimes say on the commercial, “It doesn't get any better than this.” That's a misunderstanding. It does get much better. With the Energy that is here now, with the possibilities that exist, you can begin right now, in this very space, no matter where you are, no matter how far you may have driven to get here. For those who are hearing or reading these words at a later time, no matter what may be transpiring in your life, you can begin right now. It's only a thought and a feeling away.
So let us bring in some energy that will assist you in that regard. Let us bring in some energy indeed from the Beloved Great Cosmic Being, Mighty Victory Itself, so that you start having a greater feeling of success and Victory, and that you are able to give that feeling to life. And you often give it through your encouragement of those in your life. You often give that through your beaming forth of Love to your present, to your past, to your future, to all of life.

Meditation:

Now, there's a Ray of Light that is starting to come into this room, and it is bifurcated or split in such a way so that each one of you is first of all receiving an individual Ray of Light right now. Small at first but beginning to grow in intensity. And as this Light begins to grow in intensity, you are going to start sensing or perceiving, whether your eyes are closed or open, it doesn't matter, you're going to start sensing that this Ray of Light, your own individual receiving of this Energy, that Ray of Light begins to expand. It is growing in diameter. It begins to merge with the other Rays of Light in this room. And as it begins to merge with them, it begins to grow far more quickly, so that now there is a single Beam of Light filling this entire space.
This is coming forth from the Beloved Great Cosmic Being, Mighty Victory Itself. A being of such great Light that it has only known Victory for hundreds of thousands of centuries. And when it beams forth a Light, a Ray of Light, to any individual for any purpose whatsoever, that Ray of Light remains in effect until it accomplishes what this Great Being has decreed. And the Beloved Mighty Victory has decreed in your behalf, each and every one of you, and those who will hear or read these words at a later time, that you shall achieve the Victory of the Light in this embodiment.
Now, this Light expands even more. It expands beyond this room now to include this whole city. And it expands once again to envelope the entire planet with the Light and Energy of Love, of Victory, of Freedom, Success. And each one of you, in feeling this Energy now, no matter how much you may have felt, it doesn't matter. It is brought forth into your experience and brought forth into your physical body. It is being integrated at levels perhaps beyond your conscious awareness. In some cases maybe some of you indeed have felt it come in.
And for those who may hear or read these words at a later time, it's just a matter of pausing for a moment, take a deep breath, relax and allow that Energy to come forth, because it will indeed come forth in the moment that you are aware that it is present.
Giving and receiving. Now you are receiving a Light, an Energy that is going to change your life forever. It will start off perhaps in seemingly small ways, as it usually does. Great changes in your life are the cumulative effect of the small changes that you love into being, that you allow into being. The great changes take place more often when you are willing to let go of the intellectual ego perspective of what is right and wrong or what is perfect or what is appropriate, because you don't always know. In fact, most entities rarely know.
But we're not here to bring any sort of criticism or judgment in that regard. We're here to empower you so that you may experience indeed a far greater joy and happiness in your life. And the energy that we send forth to you, and the energy that is coming forth at this time is Love.
So in your giving, when you give Love to those parts of your being, and to those in your life that may have represented something less than Love at some time, when you do that, you will find yourself likewise receiving great Light, great Love and great Joy.
Now, in your experiences so far in this life, you could look back and perhaps remark about many things that have transpired for you that were not very joyful. It was not what you might call the Perfection of the Great I AM Presence. And you, in many cases, want to be released from that, from the thought of it, from the remembrance of it, from any accumulation of the energy if it's effecting your world in any way. To empower yourself through giving and receiving so that you are released from the past quite simply means to send love to those aspects of your past that may come up for you.
Now, we want to give you a very practical exercise to do that. It is to visualize a screen in front of you, 2-3 feet in front of you, or whatever distance is comfortable. And on the screen might be a scene from this past, an image. And all you need to do is visualize a Pink Ray of Light going out from your Third Eye into this screen. And you automatically have the connotation right now, that this is sending Love to the past to heal and harmonize it. Then you can issue a decree. Then you can start indeed using the Violet Flame and the Invocation of the Law of Forgiveness more effectively in some cases.
You can also beam Light ahead of you to any future in that regard. And by sending this forth, by giving out this energy of Love, again, you can use this image of the screen and perhaps you will call forth, if that is what you need to do, call forth the image of a future event. And no matter what your Higher Self or Beloved Great Soul Being bring to you as that future event, if you remember to visualize the screen and beam forth the Pink Ray of Light to it, then you are beaming forth that Light of Love at this time.
Now we say Pink although you could certainly use that Brilliant White Light. Pink, as we've shared with many of you before contains the primary qualities of emotional cleansing, self-love and self-forgiveness. So, it's very important in bringing forth a greater feeling of Love in your experience. And therefore likewise it's very important to enable you to better forgive the seeming mistakes of the past.
From the highest perspective there's no right or wrong; you haven't made any mistakes. But from the perspective of where you are in your conscious being, you have done things that did not produce Perfection for you. You've said things, you've thought things, you have felt things, you have done things that did not create what you truly wanted. And from that perspective they could indeed be called mistakes. You want to be able to learn from them so as not to repeat them. And one of the best ways to do that is to command your mind and your memory to remember forever the good that you have learned in any experience, and command your mind and memory to forget any negativity or limitation.
Now, that's working at what might be called the mental or the intellectual level, the level at which 99% of your consciousness operates, at least as you understand it to be. But it's not the do-all and it's not the end-all. There's much more that must be done.
The Rays of Light, the Great Beings of Light are here for your assistance. As you begin to feel more of this Love, you will start to sense, as we always do, you will start to sense that compelling feeling to be more loving in all situations.
One of the ways in which you bring forth the opportunities, one of the ways you have done it in the past, is to bring people into your life that reflected what you were thinking or feeling about yourself, what your beliefs were about you, what your attitudes were about you. When you do indeed take responsibility for the fact that everything that you've experienced you created, you'll start seeing more easily how to forgive any person in your life, and you can command yourself to forget the wrongs.
Now, is that a discrepancy with respect to learning from the past. No. Because the wisdom is feeling. And in all situations the greatest feeling that you can get out of any situation is Love. So the more that you beam forth Love to your past and command yourself to forget the limitations, the more you are sending Love to your past, and Love manifests in your present and your future. And the Wisdom of Love in all its ramifications begins to pour forth and manifest into your experience in what you call the Now.
Love is the key for releasing any limitation. You love what it has taught you. You love it away from you. Love is the key for drawing to you anything that you desire as an experience, so that when you have the joyful thought of any desire, that is your Higher Self and Beloved Great Soul Being saying unto you that it wants to give it to you, give it to you. You don't have to struggle for it. You don't have to work for it. You don't have to put forth so much effort.
God within you is Unlimited. Let's ask you a few questions there. Ask yourself right now, Is God Unlimited? Do you believe that God is Unlimited? Just answer that to yourself right now. On the basis of what you've been taught, many spiritual teachings by Great Masters, Ascended Masters, Great Beings of Light, is God within you? What have they said? Is that a truth? Is it your truth? Then we would say the next thing is, if God is Unlimited, if you answer that yes, and if God is in you, if you answered that question yes, then can indeed this come to pass for you. The answer to that of course is yes.
What you're learning, Beloved Masters, is how to get out of the way. Ego, alter ego, the intellect, the mind that has been touted and praised, and so many techniques supposedly to create out of mental power, has actually been your greatest blockage, your greatest blockage. And why? Because the mind that you are working with receives the frequencies of vibrations primarily as they are brought forth through the physical body in the five physical senses. Therefore, it is receiving a very, very, very, narrow spectrum of energy. And there is so much more, so very much more.
We mentioned to you about the Beloved Great Member of the Seraphim, Ahlmahn. We said to you that Ahlmahn is a being so vast that one cell of its being is the entire galaxy, the Milky Way. Now interestingly, the one through whom we speak recently saw a program on television about astronomers who were looking at the distribution of galaxies in the visible universe. And they started seeing a pattern. Once they get to the point of being able to see that pattern sufficiently as it is spread throughout the universe, it will appear to be a humanoid form. And interestingly, in this universe, that humanoid looking form is the Beloved Great Member of the Seraphim, Ahlmahn. And they are looking back at stars and galaxies that are billions of years old, that it has taken the light billions of years (they think) to reach this planet. And that is only one of thousands of Great Beings of Light who are members of this wonderful elite group called the Seraphim. And then there are even the Greater Beings the Cherubim. And the Greater Ones the Elohim. And greater ones than those in even other worlds and universes and dimensions. And it goes on and on, the grandeur, the greatness. A wonderful thing.
Well, Ahlmahn is giving forth a great Love that is focused even individually into your lives to expand the Light within you, because there was a time when Ahlmahn existed in a physical body similar to what you exist in right now. But the Light began to expand. And Ahlmahn expanded and grew and changed and began to give more and more Love, just as you are being called upon to do. And in the giving is the receiving at all levels of being. You can't give of material things, of money. You can't give of that level, shall we say, and truly receive. It is the feeling behind the giving that creates the receiving.
Likewise, a caution we must issue to you, because there are many times when you may in some manner of speaking be an instrument or channel through which another person receives. And perhaps you expect overtures or words of gratitude to be expressed to you as an individual that you gave to this other person, whether it be money, whether it be objects of clothing or assistance of some kind. That's not quite the way it works.
Gratitude, your appreciation for what you receive, you owe to Life itself and to the Great I AM Presence of God within you, not to another individual, even though they may have been the channel through which it came. Because this is the way it works: the Giver is the greater Receiver, and the Receiver the greater Giver in the great expansion of Light and Love upon this planet and upon this plane. So in receiving you are actually giving to the person who does the giving. You are giving them the opportunity to receive even more greatly.
As you go forth, therefore, in the coming days, there will be people coming into your lives to give to you, almost out of the clear blue sky in some situations, wanting to just do something for you. Now some of you have been challenged already in this lifetime, some of you, it's one of the great challenges that you face -- how to be a gracious receiver. Does it mean that you do not express a thank you to them or anything? Of course not. You do express that. But when you are giving that expression of your thanks and your gratitude, see that person not necessarily for the limited person that they may appear to be, but see them as a Oneness with all of Life and that you are giving your gratitude, your appreciation to all of Life.
Now, there are some people who give and sometimes they hold it over you. “Don't you remember when I did this for you?” They didn't really give. They were seeking to gain control over you. When a person truly gives, it is unconditional, it is not expectant of anything in return, not even gratitude in return, because it is the Love of Life and the giving of Life, the giving to Life of Who You Are that is your receiving. And you are indeed empowered when you do. Try it. Watch the feeling. Watch the feeling, the emotion.
You will have an opportunity very shortly. Someone that you care very dearly about, whether they've been in your life recently or not, maybe they'll come back. But when they’re in your life, you're going to have the opportunity both to receive from them and to give to them. Watch your feeling and see what your feeling is. Watch your thoughts and see what your thoughts are. To know where you are in this thing. Not to criticize yourself if you find yourself falling into that pattern of giving something to them and expecting them to thank you, and maybe they will, maybe they won't.
Nor if you receive something that you automatically thank them, or if you don't that you somehow feel obligated to them, obligated to do something in return. See, if you feel obligated when someone gives you something, then you haven't received it. You've exchanged. You're bartering. That is not empowering, not truly empowering. A “fair exchange,” you say, for services rendered, this kind of thing. That's a step along the pathway. That's an important part of where you may be.
What we're telling you about now is the next step, and it is accomplished simply through Love, the Love of Life, the Life that you are, the very Life that beats your heart, that is contained in every single thing upon this planet, that has always been here awaiting your discovery. You are about to touch on a higher frequency of vibration, and as you do so, it will change you automatically. As you touch upon these Greater Frequencies of Love that are coming forth, there will be changes that take place in your experience.
You will be drawn to different kinds of people, to different situations perhaps. And it is appropriate for you to do so, to be willing to let go of the past, to send Love to it, to send Love in some cases to individuals. Some of them want to hold you in that past of limitation. Allow them to be where they are. Release them with Love. And there are some people that certainly may not think so highly of something you did to them. They don't understand that they created it. And you weren't sufficiently evolved to know how you may have been playing into their creation. But you're learning now.
And with the White Light, which increases your awareness, you may recognize now more fully how there have been times when a person evoked a behavior from you. And you can begin to cease any energy, any substance, any belief, any attitude, any thought or any feeling that has not produced perfection for you in your life.
You begin where you are. No matter what your experience has been, no matter where you think you're going, you have eternity. You do have eternity. One of the most important things for you to let go of is the emotional need of being perfect at the intellectual, at the conscious level. That need will never allow you to be that. It is Love that will take you there automatically, as you express more and more Love for Life.
Now, for example, we mentioned to you earlier. We said we're going to be very practical with this. If you love life and allow all life to be as it chooses to be, that would mean, for example, that you would eat or consume no-thing. An animal does not want to be consumed. Plants do not want to be consumed. But you're not there. But you can express gratitude for what you consume in terms of food for your sustenance. And give thanks and gratitude to Life that your sustenance at the present time, because of your belief systems, because of what you've been taught, because of what you think the physical body requires from nutrition, that at least it is indeed provided.
But as you expand the Light within you, you will come into the awareness of greater Knowingness. It is not a thing that you set about with the idea of a step-by-step program to achieve it. It happens as a result of the natural expansion of the Light and Love within you. And every situation in your life brings you the opportunity to express more Love, to give Love instead of an opinion about another person.
Just only today each and every one of you expressed an opinion about another person that wasn't of the highest of Light, Love and Truth. That's all right, you're learning. If you stop having opinions, what in the world would you have to say to each other? Well, maybe your speech would turn more loving.
One of the things that transpired as a result of language was the need for more and more words in order to describe all the limitations. So one of the things that will be happening in your experience is you may find yourself speaking less and less, and rather instead using the language of Light and Feeling. It will manifest, it will show up even in your countenance. As you look upon another person with your face aglow and feeling the Love and beaming forth that Love, they can only naturally receive and perceive that as you give it. And no words needs be spoken when you do that, no words whatsoever.
Tomorrow, when you awaken in the morning, call on your I AM Presence to continue surrounding you in that Invincible Tube of the White Light. Call forth the Invocation of the Law of Forgiveness and the Violet Flame. Call on the Ascended Masters to surround you and enfold you in their arms, that no vibration less than Perfection ever again go out from you to affect any part of life in any way. And call on the Unlimited I AM Presence of God within you to bring forth Its Perfection that day into your experience. Then Surrender, Allow and Let Go.
Don't prejudge. Don't preconceive. Don't start thinking about what you think is right or wrong or good or bad about the day. Follow the feeling of Joy moment by moment. And the feeling will guide you very quickly. And if you trip, you fall, or you stumble, it doesn't work, don't worry. Cease any thoughts or feelings of self-criticism or that you failed in any way.
The Beloved Great Cosmic Being Victory is beaming forth that Light for you. And it has been decreed in your behalf that you shall succeed. And what the Beloved Great Cosmic Being Victory decrees has never failed. In hundreds of thousands of centuries, it has never failed. You have as an ally this Great Being of Light. You have as your friends the Archangels, the Angelic Realm, the Great White Brotherhood of Light, the Ascended Masters, the Great Ones, Beings of such Love and Light and Magnitude of Greatness. How could you do anything but succeed!
The more that you let go, the more that you surrender and allow, and yes, we know it takes a great trust, it takes a great faith. It takes doing things in a different way than what you have done before. But as you do so, do so in some little areas of your life and start seeing the success beginning to manifest into your experience in ways that you would have never dreamed possible. By your simple giving of Love, you may be indeed amazed. If you are, cease using words such “this is incredible, unbelievable, amazing.” Just say, “Thank you. It is wonderful, and I accept it now.”
Now, no matter what happens to you, tomorrow, the next day or whatnot, you have been changed as a result of being here, minutely perhaps in terms of your conscious perspective --greatly from our perspective, because the Light is expanding far more than you can conceive of it at that time. But what you expect in the physical world is related primarily on the basis of the alter ego or ego. And you don't see with the Unlimited Eyes of the God-being that You Are.
We want you to begin to perceive with some of your greater senses. Call forth a greater Perception of Life. You do so by simply saying, “Mighty I AM Presence, I call forth this day into my awareness a greater Perception into all of Life. To the good of all concerned, to the Glory of God. So be it.”
Then you will start sensing more at all levels of your being. It's that easy. It's that quick, if you let it be. The Christ spoke some very wonderful words one time, and he said, “Be it unto you according to your faith.” You see, Jesus the Christ knew of the Unlimitedness that You Are in every thought, feeling, attitude and belief. In every word that you speak that You Are the Authority of your Life. You are the Lord God of your Being. You are the Decreer of your Reality. You are the Maker of your Fate.
Create therefore in alignment with the Light and the Love that is coming forth upon this planet at this time, so that you may be that Light to others in the world who desperately need to know what to do. The energy of Love, as we've shared with you, shows up that which is not loving. It's a powerful Light, it's a powerful mirror. And yet, it is also the same Energy that is used to heal the very thing that it shows up.
If you find yourself asking questions such as “how?” you're only coming from the intellect, and the intellect can't do it. It's at the feeling level that it is accomplished. It's at the feeling level that it is accomplished.
Beloved Masters, wonderful Great Beings of Light that all of you are, we love you greatly. We want you to become quiet once again and allow yourselves to close your eyes once again.

Benediction:

“Beloved Great I Am Presence, with great gratitude this evening we come to You. Fill all those here and those who will hear or read these words at a later time with the Great Light of Thy Gratitude, Thy Life, Thy Absolute Knowing, that each and everyone would indeed begin to feel once more their gratitude to Thee. Let the lives of each one be attuned so that they may receive the Great Blessing of Mighty Victory, and from any other of Thy Great Messengers or Beings of Light. No matter where they are in their evolution and unfolding, prepare them for Thy Greatest of Blessings now, that all of what they desire and create be always of the highest of Light, Love and Truth. We give thanks that this is so, and so it is. So Be it.”

And now the time has come when we must depart. And though we leave you now in this understanding, as always we're only a loving thought away. So be it.
