Arcturian Group Message for January 18, 2015 by Marilyn Raffele | ONENESS OF ALL

  


Arcturian Group Message for January 18, 2015 by Marilyn Raffele | ONENESS OF ALL



"Greetings dear ones. We come to say that much is happening on your planet that cannot yet be seen with physical eyes. However, you are beginning to feel change in the energy of your personal world as well as on the universal level. You may begin to notice more camaraderie among those around you--a sense of oneness that did not seem to be there before. You may notice it within some group you are familiar with like a club you belong to or in family gatherings. You will notice more unity and less sense of separateness.


These changes are the result of the high resonating Light now pouring onto earth and available to all who are receptive. Every particle of Light feeds the consciousness of an awakening world. Many who were previously oblivious or blindly accepting of world conditions, now find themselves to be more aware and quickly growing weary of the constant bickering and adolescent behavior of so many self serving world "leaders". Seeing with new eyes, they are beginning to take note of those who serve only to feed their pockets. The eyes of mankind are opening and personal power is beginning to be reclaimed.


Thus, as society awakens, it automatically begins to move into its power. Even a small thing like signing a petition, helps to activate world energy into new directions. It is not about giving energy to some negative appearance, but rather it is about taking whatever human footsteps may assist others to notice, on their level of awareness.


You are in the midst of awakening to who you are, realizing that you are and never were less than those who hold power of some sort or another. Appearances will not change until you change them, for the outer manifestations you see simply represent the consensus consciousness of the majority which at this time is still heavily enmeshed in duality and separation.


The whistle blowers of the world are courageous souls, not to be reviled as many would have you believe. They are helping to awaken those who blindly accept everything they are told--the sleeping ones who have given away their power to those claiming to own it. Despite personal danger to themselves they speak words that need to be heard. Those who stand to lose personal power or wealth from this information would have you believe that these people are criminals. No, they are serving to assist the people of the world to wake up, open their eyes, and hopefully take back their power.


Do what you can each day to awaken others but never in a preaching or proselytizing way. It must be done with love and kindness and respect for the others belief system. Often it is not words, but simply your energy field filled with Light that helps to awaken another who is receptive. Speak the deeper truths only when guided to, when a person is ready to hear or is seeking truth, always trusting your intuition.


We wish to speak of trust--a very misunderstood word. Trust in its truest sense reflects a state of consciousness able to rest in awareness, living the experiences of each moment from center which often appears to the world as a doing nothing. In reality, doing nothing is to hold blind faith in some concept, person, or thing--which is often seen as trust.


Blind faith comes from accepting third dimensional concepts of God, angels, saints, or even the government without question, simply because it is what you have been told. Blind faith is ignorance dear ones, and represents the surrendering of personal power to an unknown something deemed to have power--it is not trust. This is not to say that the angels and Beings of Light are not there to assist you, but to assist you, not do the work for you.


Trust is the natural offspring of a state of consciousness imbued with spiritual truth and not dogma or rites and rituals handed down and accepted from generation to generation. Trust is the living out from and resting in a consciousness aware and knowledgeable of what is real and spiritually true.


Trust simply becomes natural at a certain level of awareness, but is never attained through forever looking outside of one's self, for no matter how much the teacher or path may be revered by society, at a certain point the spiritual journey must become a solo one, a shift to one own Center.


This is not to say that you will never be guided to some book, class, or teacher along the way but it is to say that you must always listen to your intuition, and when something feels finished, don't be afraid to leave it and move on. Many paths and teachings are only needed for a short while--steps along the way to be left behind at some point which then allows new and higher phases of the journey to begin.


Trust manifests as the student learns to withdraw energy and power from outside forces and place it where it is, in Divine Oneness. Trust is aware of what is, instead of 3D concepts of what is. The journey through third dimensional lifetimes has been a stepping and falling, stepping and falling but at some point growth begins to come by Grace and fear dissolves. The spiritual student finally understands who and what he is, and is able to rest in that awareness. This is Trust.


All of you are ready for this, dear ones. All of you are spiritually aware on levels enabling you to begin living, moving, and having your being in true Trust. It is only the world's continued dependence on concepts and beliefs that keeps it in bondage. Trust lifts the burdens from your personal back and removes the mental drive to "do, do, do", which is the focus of intellectual thinking as well as can be found in many metaphysical teachings.


The metaphysical protocols were necessary in the beginning, and are still important for the newly awakening, but you are no longer beginners. You have completed that phase and are ready to shift from the "do, do, do" mentality into "Be, Be, Be". Now it is about growing beyond the metaphysical (taking a bad picture and making it into a good picture) and moving into mysticism (the conscious realization that in reality nothing needs changing).


Rites and rituals serve their purpose but for most of you, are finished. The journey is now about a consciousness shift transferring power from the without to the within-- whether the without be "good" or "bad". Every belief in some power outside of yourselves must be let go of, and each letting go helps release you from any bondage to it. Know that even "good" appearances are concepts.


Letting go of something does NOT means you cannot or will not ever again enjoy the finer things of life, nor does it mean you cannot take part in some religious ceremony or service. It simply means that you no longer imbue these things with a power they do not have, whether over you or for you. You begin to see the reality behind all appearances and understand the truths being represented through rites and ritual, knowing that in and of themselves they have no power.


Because the outer is an expression of one's state of consciousness, as he shifts from a consciousness of duality and separation into a consciousness of truth and Oneness, he will find that the outer forms begin to manifest in new and higher ways. Never fear the loss of something, for if you carry the substance of it in consciousness it will re-appear, often in some new and better form. For example; An attained consciousness of wholeness and completeness often manifests outwardly in simple things like finding the perfect parking spot but can and does also manifest as the right partner, job, or new order and peace in your life.


Mind is the interpreter of one's state of consciousness translating it into forms appropriate for each individual. If living alone represents wholeness for someone, their attained consciousness of completeness will not manifest outwardly as a partner. Likewise, a consciousness imbued with concepts and beliefs of duality and separation must appear as experiences of both good and bad--duality.


This is the purpose of the physical, emotional, and mental clearings you are experiencing now. Even those awake and evolved still carry cellular memories from past lifetimes lived fully in a consciousness of duality and separation and these need to be released and cleared.


You are ready.


We are the Arcturian Group"  1/18/15

The Keepers on Detachment from the Collective a message from Rev. Irma Kaye Sawyer



The Keepers on Detachment from the Collective
a message from Rev. Irma Kaye Sawyer

Thursday, 11 December, 2014  (posted 16 December, 2014)


Hello friends. Over this past year I have heard from many folks especially those who identify as Empathic and/or highly sensitive that they’ve been having some real struggles with energy infiltration and not enough detachment from highly emotionally charged societal events and the strong energy fluctuations of the Collective. I took this issue to the Keepers and was given some information, along with a meditation/activation. The link for that can be found at the bottom of this page.


We are at a place now where the 3D teachings have served us well. We understand and appreciate them, but we refuse to get pulled down into the muck. We cannot effectively serve our fellow beings when we are down there, nor can we offer ourselves or others the fruits of our own ongoing transformation. It will continue to be important to keep our spiritual center as much as possible, especially as we move into the powerful “8” Universal Year of 2015.


Dear ones, it is essential that you re-frame the thought that to help others that you must interact with and even absorb their toxicity or dysfunction; whether it be on a small or larger scale.


Though in a 3D system it appears quite real, in a more ultimate sense it is not. It is also temporary. The greatest gift you can offer your fellow human beings and the Collective is your own greater love, light and expanded consciousness. Also to be centered in your own deeper spiritual truth. It is a Piscean Age paradigm that you are your brother/sister’s keeper in a more direct level. This is no longer useful or indicated in the current and ever-expanding energies.


Regarding the concept of getting further detached (unhooked) from the more negative illusions and distortions of the Collective, we are not particularly interested in debating the validity or purposes of them, but more to offer a reminder of the real and true. Sat-Chit-Ananda. You Are That.


If you are feeling ensnared by the suffering in the Collective it is a greater opportunity to examine and release your own. Also, to drop the idea that it is virtuous to continue to carry illusion of any kind. Bless yourself and bless all, setting aside emotionally-charged judgment. This will continue to be important, especially in the coming year. Align with the pure land of your own wisdom-heart. There is no need for a hard striving. Since all things are connected and higher frequencies of love and light have a greater impact, it is there which is your most useful focus.


Beloveds, a more Piscean Age view that is moving out is that you must be energetically infiltrated by the world to be effective. For many of you in spiritual service, to be a part of the world fully was an important part of your training. It is now vital to come home to who you really are as an eternal being of light, love and wisdom. It is possible to be an awake and fully engaged human being without being negatively impacted by the darker aspects of the Collective energy. It is important to remember that streams of higher frequency and consciousness are also present on the planet at this time. It is a matter of which you choose to “tune into” so to speak. Shanti. ~ The Keepers, 12.11.14

5 Essential Tips for Spiritual Growth a message from Owen Waters | Spirit Library


5 Essential Tips for Spiritual Growth
a message from Owen Waters | Spirit Library

Friday, 26 September, 2014

Spiritual growth is the growing awareness of a higher level of consciousness.

A higher level of consciousness brings an expanded view of reality. The more your view of reality expands, the more you are able to integrate any conflicting issues within yourself.

Spiritual growth has become such an urgent issue today because the frequency of everyone's consciousness is rising. The Shift into higher consciousness is propelling today's search for spirituality and meaning in life.

Spiritual growth involves gaining a deeper sense of inner awareness. Spiritual experiences can range from light meditation to a complete and blissful union with your true, inner self.

The following 5 tips will help you focus on the road to rapid spiritual growth and help you steer your life toward more happiness and fulfillment.

1) Life is what happens within, even though it appears to happen "out there." All changes of significance happen within, so look for the inner meaning in all outer experiences.

2) Remember that, even though it may not seem like it, we are divinely connected. Within your inner being is a connection to Infinite Being, the All That Is.

3) Shift your focus from the news and its depressive intent and turn toward books and courses that will uplift and inspire you. Time well spent is an investment in your future growth and happiness.

4) Encourage others to turn their attention to spiritual growth. By helping others, you open up an energetic flow that will bring more opportunities for spiritual growth into your own life. It's a matter of free flow: When you give something, the flow attracts more of the same to you.

5) Allow your sense of curiosity free rein. It is the most fundamental sense in Creation and it is best applied to your spiritual growth. Learn everything you can while allowing that divine sense of curiosity to lead the way.

These steps will help you develop your spiritual awareness and personal power, and a true sense of spiritual freedom.

Everything is as it should be, or is it? ~ a message from Pamela Kribbe

Great article in which she examines the seeming paradox between events that cause us to suffer, and having that labeled as "meant to be". -PB


Everything is as it should be, or is it?
a message from Pamela Kribbe

Tuesday, 10 June, 2014

"This was meant to be", "there must be a higher purpose behind it", "everything is exactly as it is supposed to be". Remarks easily made among the spiritually inclined. Often, statements like these are made in the face of situations or events that seem meaningless, tragic or cruel. Accidents, diseases, grave setbacks put our sense of justice to the test. Why does this happen to me, why did this have to happen? The notion that behind everything that occurs there is a higher order, a divine hand that means well, is reassuring. But is it true?

The idea that everything happens as it should, is a deterministic notion: it states that there is a higher power who predetermines what is going to happen in our earthly lives. This higher power may be God, or your soul or higher self. Whatever it is, the creative power does not belong to you, but to this higher source. The idea that we as human beings have free will and can make free choices is thereby severely affected.


Thus, a paradox arises: starting from a spiritual worldview, most people consider their power to make choices and take responsibility for their life to be essential to who they are. If it weren't for that power, the whole notion of inner growth and transformation would become obsolete. At the same time, there's the statement, often sounding like an invocation, that "everything is as it should be", or as others put it, "everything is in divine order".

This "glad tiding" that everything is really going as it is supposed to, both amazes and annoys me. First of all, there is massive suffering on earth, which is obvious from glancing through a random newspaper on any day. There is intense suffering on physical, emotional and spiritual levels in many, many human beings, as well as in nature. So how's everything exactly as it should be?! Second, there is the above mentioned paradox that free will and predestination do not sit well together. This is a point worthy of consideration when you bring up the idea that all is well and in divine order. Third, I have noticed that putting forward this message often goes together with a typical note of pity, a kind of spiritual condescension, conveying something like: "Ah, child, I see you do not yet understand, caught as you are in your all-too-human doubts and moods and emotions, but there is indeed a higher meaning behind all that's happening, and one day you too will witness it." People often mean well, I am sure, but still…

When I had just healed from a severe depression with psychotic episodes in 2010, and was still struggling to come to terms with this horrific experience, someone said to me: "it is pretty clear that you had to go through this, and that the purpose of it was that it has enabled you to now help people with similar afflictions". I could not respond to this suggestion as I was gasping for breath, but later on I realised that there were in fact three implicit suggestions being made: 1. The depression was predetermined and I could not have prevented it, 2. It happened for my own good even though it felt terrible, and 3. The spiritual purpose behind it all was that it would make me a better teacher and healer for other people. The latter suggestion instantly promoted me to martyrdom. What really happened was that I had sacrificed myself and had gone through hell for the salvation of others. Oh my. Kind of flattering to be put on a pedestal like that; but I suspect one has a shaky balance up there.

What stands out about all three suggestions is the big gap between the way I felt about what had happened and the "actual" spiritual truth. What felt succinctly bad to me was "really" a good thing, what I had wanted to prevent most of all had "really" been predetermined and what I experienced as my personal trial during the depression was "really" something I took upon myself in order to become a better teacher for others. The anger, sadness and dismay I felt afterwards about what had happened to me, were simply the ramblings of my ego which could not surrender to the higher order of things. This example shows a general line of reasoning which can be applied to many different situations. The general tendency is to look at an event or situation which at first sight seems terrible, tragic or absurd, and then smooth it down with the help of the spiritual tenet that "things are always exactly as they should be" or "there's a divine order governing events so at a deeper level all is well".

What to do with this typical smoothing down approach? The notion that everything is predetermined and proceeds according to divine will, cannot be refuted on logical grounds. It is an irrefutable metaphysical claim, which cannot be falsified (or confirmed!) by empirical evidence. However, it does conflict with our deeply felt sense that we are able to influence our lives, that we have free will and the power to choose. The notion that "all is well as it is" or "all is as it is supposed to be" is in conflict with how we feel in everyday life. Whenever a spiritual tenet is flagrantly at odds with common sense, with our everyday gut feelings, this raises a red flag for me. I believe that true spirituality is quite compatible with our natural instincts and intuitions. Even more, I believe that it is through our feeling nature that we can connect with our souls. More than the mind and the ideologies it makes up, it is the heart, the locus of our feelings and intuitions, that forms the gateway to spiritual truth. Whenever there is a big gap between what feels genuinely good and true to you and what a spiritual teaching professes to be good and true, I would always choose in favor of human feeling as the proper touchstone. The air of complacent superiority with which counterintuitive spiritual claims are often made doesn't help either.

But what then? If things are not predetermined, if there is no higher meaning behind all that happens, is life then a mere play of coincidence? Is there no bigger story, no purpose to it all? And if it is all free and open, and you still believe in God, why does God allow so much pain and suffering; what would be the explanation of that? I would like to argue that there are spiritually meaningful reasons why things happen as they do, but that does not mean that what happens is good and right. There is a reason for everything, but that does not imply that it should have happened. My claim is that there is a difference between acknowledging a spiritual logic behind events that occur, and believing in predestination. There are indeed spiritual laws at work in our lives, but they are not at odds with our free will.

To clarify what I mean let's apply it to the example above. My depression was clearly caused by fears and negative beliefs inside of me. I believe it belongs to my soul's purpose to bring these fears and negative beliefs to the surface of my awareness at some point, so that they may be healed. But that does not mean things had to happen exactly in the way they did, or that I had no choice about what transpired in my life. I remember clearly that before the depression really took hold (and I had to be hospitalized), I received several signals, especially from my body, that showed me I was very stressed and should apply the brakes. I failed to really do that, and that was not predetermined. There is an explanation for the fact that I did not act upon my intuitive hunches and body signals: I was afraid to fail, afraid to say 'no' to people, because I valued their recognition and feared rejection. This explains why I did not apply the brakes in time; however, even though there were definite reasons in place, it was still my choice. The very fact that I was aware of those signals and hunches, shows that there was room for choice.

So, in hindsight I made some poor choices. Now, there's not much use in blaming oneself endlessly about the less than fortunate choices one has made in the past. Reproaching oneself in a harsh manner gives rise to feelings of guilt which are destructive and counterproductive (I speak from personal experience here). To pass judgment on oneself is not very useful. However, to say that I could not help any of it because it was supposed to happen is like going to the other extreme; this is pure denial. There is no getting around the fact that I could have made other choices. The best way of looking back on this is with an eye of compassion and mildness. By being compassionate toward yourself, you acknowledge that you are a fallible human being, and it actually becomes easier to learn from your mistakes. If you are able to forgive yourself, you can see the pitfalls of the past as meaningful lessons which have enabled you to gain insight and make better choices in the future. In that way, tragic situations may become purposeful and meaningful, not because they are intrinsically good or desirable (they often aren't), but because you are prepared to learn from them and even be transformed by them. Thus, whether something is spiritually meaningful is not determined by the objective events themselves, but by the way you experience and interpret them.

In this way, free will and a certain degree of predetermination can be reconciled. Imagine that your soul wanted to live through certain experiences in this lifetime. That is why your soul chose to be confronted with certain challenges, which were kind of pre-programmed into your life. Certain people you encounter, different opportunities or setbacks that come your way, may indeed be fixed beforehand. The pivotal question, however, is how you, the human you with free choice, will respond to these encounters and situations, and to what degree you can detect purpose and meaning in what happens to you. This is not fixed, and it is your soul's ultimate purpose to embrace the lessons inherent in the challenges with love and acceptance. That way, you will make different choices in the future and attract more positive encounters and situations in your life, eliminating the need to face the same challenge time and again.

It is often very hard to respond to life's gravest challenges with trust and acceptance. That's why I say it is your soul's ultimate goal. It is often a huge struggle to recognise the value of deep experiences of loss or pain or rejection. Resistance and despair are normal, and very human. Yet I do believe this is our soul's deepest invitation to us: to embrace even the darkest part of our lives and of ourselves with understanding and warmth, not because it is "good as it is", but because accepting and working with it is the only way out. It is the only way into the light.

When I was in the middle of my psychotic depression, I did not experience any meaning or sense in what I was going through. For my loved ones, it was a nightmare, too. I was eventually taken to the psychiatric ward of the hospital against my will. My recovery started there. After I recovered, I found out what it is like when deep suffering bears fruit. As soon as I turned toward the light and wanted to live again, I experienced deep joy and took note of the abundance in my life as never before. What was taken for granted before, became a source of wonder and profound gratitude. I would sometimes stop in front of my house, returning with groceries, and just marvel at the fact that there was a place for me on earth, where I could live with the two people I love most, my husband and daughter. I was amazed at the genuine care and support given to me by people around me; what were acquaintances before, now became intimate friends. Not only did the complete breakdown that psychosis brings give me a new appreciation of what I took for granted before, it also gave me some lasting insights which now help me live my life with less fear and more fulfilment. A few years later, I wrote a book about my dark night of the soul, which helped me integrate the whole experience more fully and with the benefit of hindsight. After publishing this book (in Dutch - hope to publish it in English end of this year) I received letters from people who recognised themselves in my story and felt supported and comforted by it. Thus, my dark night of the soul gained in meaning. Gradually, this horrific experience appears in a different light, the light of healing and meaningfulness. However, this does not mean it was "supposed to happen" or that it was "really" a good thing.

Is everything as it should be? Is all well as it is? No! There is much suffering and tragedy on earth. I do believe we attract some negative situations in our lives to become aware of the negativity inside of us (anger, fear, distrust). These situations may in part be pre-arranged. But the purpose behind those challenges is that we make different choices in the future so that we can let go of the negativity and stop attracting it into our lives. A painful or tragic event is not intrinsically good or valuable; it will become that only when humans have the courage and clarity of mind to find meaning in it and be transformed by it. We have a choice in how we respond to "what is". We have the potential to transform negativity and pain by our inner attitude, and to make life more light and joyful for ourselves and others. This is the true purpose of spirituality. The higher order which we so desperately seek behind the external events in our lives, does not lie outside of us. We need to create it ourselves: that is our mission as free children of God."
