Knowing Our Essence Beyond Space-Time

 

From within the confines of our empirical perspective, we do not know our true essence. Without awareness of the essence of our world and our greater Self, our personal realization is restricted to the world of our senses. Without knowing our creative essence, we have allowed our mental and emotional processes to run wild, while we ignore the connection with their consequences.

We have not known the cause of our experiences, nor how we create them. We unintentionally have created our lives largely by default on a subconscious level, oblivious of the control that we are designed to exercise in alignment with the intentions of our destiny. It’s as if we have been playing chess without a deep understanding of the game and without control of our attention. It is possible, however, to open our awareness to our true essence and abilities.

As we learn to relax into a deep state of consciousness, in which our breathing is slow, deep and rhythmic, and we align ourselves with the deepest love and joy that we can imagine, we begin to transcend the limitations to our awareness. It is helpful to listen to inspiring music, until we hear what inspires us within ourselves. Being in calming and majestic places in nature can help provide an energetic alignment with expanded consciousness. We can find that there is a depth to knowing our essential Self. Our awareness can open to everything and nothing. We are unbounded in infinite awareness within the consciousness that creates everything. We are our presence of awareness beyond spacetime, expressing ourselves as our human characters within a spectrum of energy that we perceive as real.

Our lives depend upon our perceptive realization and the amount of awareness we allow ourselves to experience. Our boundaries are all self-imposed and can be self-released and transcended. This is a shift in consciousness that requires intentional control of our attention and the willingness to become aware of the inner knowing that comes to us through the energetic expression of our heart. Beginning with the vibrational qualities of what we think about and feel, we are designed to live in the fullness of joy in complete creative control of every aspect of our lives.

For all of us who have this awareness, the outer circumstances of our lives become irrelevant as we go through a transformation in our consciousness. As we evolve in opening our awareness, the circumstances that we live in evolve with us. Prior to engaging in this process, we would not believe what is possible for us. If we can direct our focus to living in joy, love and compassion in every moment, we transform ourselves into masters of our life experiences, and we help to expand the consciousness of humanity.

Time to Allow

Dear Readers, it has become an intense and frightening time for many as they witness much of the ordinary and familiar fall away with seemingly nothing new or better to replace it. It is a time for allowing, allowing the ascension process to unfold without the interference of finite human plotting, planning, and thinking because the human mind regardless of how intelligent is simply not equipped to fully grasp that which is infinite.

Allowing is not doing nothing. It is not standing firmly in religious doctrine or tradition saying “Just give it to God” or “Let God do it” expecting a three dimensional concept of God to jump in and magically save the day and make everything right again by bringing back the “good old days”.

Allowing is standing confidently in conscious awareness of God/Source/Divine Consciousness being the only law, cause, effect, reality, and power in spite of what may be going on in the outer scene. Allowing means ignoring the three dimensional monkey mind that constantly whispers that you must to do this or that, fix this or that , say this prayer, light a candle, etc, etc, and do it all in a certain way or bad things will happen. Remember, the human mind draws information from what is already known in the collective rather than from within.

Allowing is a state of consciousness at rest in the realization that God’s creations are, always have been, and can only ever be perfect and whole whether the material world looks that way or not. If you are reading these messages you are prepared to at least practice living from this level. You knew about these times before incarnating and have been preparing in previous lifetimes in order to be ready when the call came. The call has come.

Evolution takes place over the course of many lifetimes. In the beginning, awareness is focused primarily on a personal sense of self, a self that believes it is separate and needs protection from other life forms. Gradually the belief in some sort of higher power comes which at first is a belief in many gods – one for abundance, one for fertility, one for health, etc. Eventually this is replaced by the belief of one god rather many, but this one god even to this day is a glorified human, a man in the sky who punishes and rewards according to current personal, religious, societal rules.

This man/god remains alive and well for many but at a certain point of readiness most evolve to some form of metaphysics. Metaphysics is the study of energy and solutions beyond the material (crystals, oils, ceremony, table work etc.) and utilizes them to heal, change, or fix things which often does work and reflects a higher level of awareness, but remains in ideas of separation.

Eventually every seeker is ready for the real and most powerful level of awareness – mysticism. Mysticism is a state of consciousness that realizes nothing needs to be healed, fixed, or changed because the creative expressions of the one omnipresent, omnipotent, omniscient God are already perfect, complete, and whole. Resting in this awareness is allowing.

Continuing to fight, resist, hope for, or desire three dimensional concepts endows them with power and keeps them alive in the collective. The more you fixate on appearances in the belief that in and of themselves they possess power, especially during these times of intense energy, the more you feed the material concept.

Divine consciousness remains the creative substance of form, whether it has become individually conditioned with error and falsehood or not. Good appearances are just as illusory as the bad ones. Both are material manifestations of personal and global states of consciousness filled with beliefs of duality, separation. and many powers.

God is the only power. There are no other powers. How could an omnipresent God create anything unlike itself? What would it be made of? Nothing seen, heard, tasted, touched, or smelled has power in and of itself in spite of what appearances may testify to. Everything believed to be a power (evil, disease, sin, war, lack, etc, etc.) is only maintained and sustained by the energy it receives through being accepted as reality in consciousness.

The consciousness of master Jesus and other evolved masters held no belief of powers other than the one Divine power. When people sought help from these masters they automatically entered into alignment with a pure state of consciousness free of duality, separation, and many powers. Problems automatically dissolved and healings took place simply because there was nothing to hold the illusions in place.

These masters recognized and acknowledged the true nature of everyone who came to them, which is unconditional love. On earth, love is usually thought of an an emotion, and it can be, but that is just one expression of love. The belief that love is always an emotion often causes confusion when a spiritual seeker is told that they must love everyone including those who are happily creating havoc, suffering, and problems for others.

As we have said many times, love is the connecting energy flowing in, through, around, and between every individualized expression of the ONE Divine Consciousness/God. It is an energy, it is life, it is Consciousness, it is omnipresent, and it is God. Your recognition of the Divine nature of every individual regardless of appearances to the contrary is unconditional love and automatically shifts you into another facet of love – impersonalization.

Impersonalization means no longer pinning “sin”, blame, error, or limitation in any form on another in the belief that it is personally theirs. Impersonalization recognizes that because every person is God individualized the only qualities they have or ever can have are God qualities and negative qualities of any sort can only reflect hypnotism, the collective belief in separation from God acting in, as, and though the individual’s state of consciousness, much like an image being superimposed over another.

You are entitled to your preferences. Loving and impersonalizing does not mean you must emotionally embrace or wholeheartedly accept the actions of every person. Tools for evolving are available at all levels of awareness. Those who as of yet are only able to learn and understand from a three dimensional level may need jail or some other form of guided learning. Impersonalization means that in spite of any and all appearances you first and foremost silently acknowledge a person’s true nature as Divine Being before taking whatever human footsteps may be necessary.

Ways of living that were sufficient and workable even one year ago are no longer working as they once did because earth’s energy has and continues to rapidly change. Do not panic about what you see taking place around you at this time, but rather rejoice, because the energies that created a world of duality and separation are being replaced by energies that are higher and more real.

Much of what you see taking place at this time will not be permanent, but rather is serving to awaken a majority out of their comfortable status quo. Why would anyone want to continue living in or promoting a world of the past governed by duality, separation, and many powers unless it stands to benefit them in some way?

Allow Reality to live in, as, and through you while lovingly and without regret let go of everything you once believed you had to have but no longer feel alignment with. Let your only prayer be; “Everything I have been seeking, I am”

Allow.

Allowing Grief

 

There is a beautiful story about a man, Anthony Lawrence, who was called the Elephant Whisperer. He had rescued a herd of elephants from poaching and relocated them to a preserve. The day he died, the herd came from miles away to pay tribute to him, to accompany him into the next stage of his journey. Each year on this death they return to pay tribute, standing with their trunks in the air.

It seems we are wired to do the same when a loved one dies, to pay tribute, to help our loved one take the next step into the Light and at the same time bring healing to our broken hearts.

So many are experiencing the loss of their loved ones. I too lost my soul sister, Genoveva, two weeks ago, at least in the physical world. I revisited this channeling that came through back in 2017 when my beloved cat, Keshet Star, crossed over to the rainbow bridge. It really is so beautiful and timeless.

Alysia, Crystal Lady as channeled by Lee Degani:

It is I Beloved, Alysia, Crystal Lady. And I come to offer you my heart, and I have come to offer you my hand, and I come to offer you my warm embrace that you shall know that you are not alone and that you are loved. And that it is okay to grieve dearest one. It is okay to let the sobs out. It is okay to be vulnerable. It is okay. That is what the human experience is. The question is will you let yourself. The question is will all of you allow yourselves the full human experience. The true human experience involves pain and it involves grief and it involves sorrow and it involves joy and it involves happiness.

The question is how will you get through those times. Will you allow yourself to lean on another? Will you allow yourself to let the Love come through? When you do that you can be lifted to the highest heights and bring Joy to the whole collective, to all those who are suffering, who are grieving. For all of the mothers who don’t know where their children are. For all of the fathers who don’t know where their children are. For all of the wives who have been taken away from husbands throughout the eons of time. For all the families that have been split up.

Do not think that what you are doing is miniscule. What you are doing is huge. You are wiping away tears for many. You are solving the problems of the universe, the problems that have come to be that you have been sent to resolve. And this is one of the ways that you do it. So allow yourself to grieve, dearest one. Allow yourself to cry and know that we are never far away from you. We are right here the whole time. Do you not feel us? Do you not feel us stroking your forehead, holding your neck, holding your arms, holding you the way a mother holds a baby and rocking?

And Keshet, you see her now, don’t you. You see her as she comes in her male form. And yes, she was the one speaking to you the other day. Believe, Beloved. For what you are receiving is true. She is going. She is going onto a new life. She has a journey just as you do. Yes, she is a star being but we all evolve, all of us. Even your angels, your guardian angels, we evolve too. We evolve when you evolve. We evolve and expand the entire consciousness. So allow yourself, allow yourself to grieve the sadness. But allow yourself to love for they are partners. And one does not come without the other. It is just a matter of opening your heart so that Love can come in.”

You Only Experience What You Believe

 

The dimensions are a matter of frequency and vibration. Humans travel from one dimension to another many times a day. If it is not within their belief system, they are not aware of this and will not recognize this happening. For them it does not exist.

You only see what you believe. Your reality matches your beliefs. That's the tricky part. You look out at your reality and see a certain experience. You see it--it looks real, feels real, and others agree that it's real. Therefore, it must be real.

You continue to gather proof of its realness. You even write books about its realness. You have organizations around its realness. You fight for its realness. It is only real because you are operating in a frequency or belief that makes it real. This is what is termed a locked down reality. Everything strengthens the illusion and strengthens the beliefs of the illusionary realness.

The key is to begin to stretch your beliefs, stretch your knowing. You have a term that is excellent which invites this stretch - Think out of the box.

Notice when your experiences feel limiting. Notice when you are thinking thoughts that do not empower you. Notice when you feel shut down. Notice when you long for more yet feel trapped. Notice when you sense there is something more that could unfold. When that is happening you are touching the sides of your limitation box.

At those moments you can shift the frequency, you can shift your mental vibration and begin to allow another reality to emerge; practice stretching, expanding your way of viewing events. Practice a visualization of being above the events or just outside the event. Change your perspective, your viewpoint, just a little. Allow the sides of your belief box to expand to include something slightly different, slightly new, something that you "normally" would not even consider a possibility because it would be too far out, too unreal. Remember you see what you believe.

Making connections with other dimensions is just a matter of stepping out of the box, the limited mental or emotional box. It is vibrating at a higher frequency, stepping out of old, limited beliefs and welcoming the awareness of your multidimensional starself.

Allow a softening, a merging of the dimensions, a flow, gentle and smooth shifting frequency and vibration. The golden key is conscious practice of vibrating joy, gratitude and appreciation, moment to moment to moment. These are high frequency vibrations; they allow your box of limited thinking to disappear.

Who Will Be Our Pericles?

 

In his extensive and deeply intellectual essay “The Athenian Mirror: Reflections on Democracy in Crisis,” Roger Kimball pays homage to the Athens of the time of Pericles. Kimball reflects on what has been called one of the greatest orations of all time: Pericles’s Funeral Oration, given on the first anniversary of the war with Sparta to memorialize those Athenian warriors who had fallen in that ultimately disastrous war, which went on for another 27 years after his speech.

We see in Pericles the commanding general and First Man of Athens, a leader who was immensely proud of his state and what it stood for, and why it was worth dying for, as so many at that time had already done. We have seen woefully little of that kind of pride of nation in our leaders before and after the two Trump presidencies, especially with the Obama-Biden brand of visceral hatred of everything at least half the nation they led believes in.

Though it is difficult for me to be objective about my favorite president, Ronald W. Reagan, I feel that he showed us those Periclean qualities for his eight years in office: an unbounded love of and pride in America, his enthusiastic optimism for the country he served and loved, his unabashed attitude that it was “Morning in America!” and that “You and I have a rendezvous with destiny” — emotions those of us who love our nation thirsted for in the dark years of hatred and tyranny brought to us by the Democrats, primarily the hater-in-chief, Barack Hussein Obama.

Kimball begins his discussion by noting some observations from the great classicist Victor Davis Hanson, in which he notes

“that the unabashed confidence of Pericles in his own civilization and national ethos . . . were once gold standards for unapologetic Western democratic rhetoricians.” And not only rhetoricians, but for Western democracies tout court. Pericles, Hanson observes, reminds us that “should a great culture not feel that its values and achievements are exceptional,” then no one else will either.

Then, before examining some passages from the famous speech, he asks what Pericles stood for. And what lessons does the leader of the first experiment in democracy have for us?

Athenian democracy was not just a system of government, but a way of life. Kimball explains that there were two keynotes to that way of life:

freedom and tolerance, on the one hand, and responsible behavior and attention to duty, on the other.

The two go together. We Athenians, Pericles said, are “free and tolerant in our private lives, but in public affairs we keep to the” law” — including, he added in an important proviso, “those unwritten laws,” like the lawlike commands of taste, manners, and morals — “which it is an acknowledged shame to break.” Freedom and tolerance, Pericles suggested, were blossoms supported by roots that reached deep into the soil of duty. Burke again: “Manners are of more importance than law. ... The law touches us but here and there and now and then. Manners are what vex or soothe, corrupt or purify, exalt or debase, barbarize or refine us, by a constant, steady, uniform, and insensible operation like that of the air we breathe in.”

I found these words of Pericles especially timely in view of what seems to be growing number of our fellow Americans who eschew, or pretend to eschew, politics altogether and have little or no tolerance for any viewpoint but the narrative they are indoctrinated to espouse:

We do not say that a man who takes no interest in politics is a man who minds his own business we say that he has no business here at all.

Kimball also notes the troubling tendencies in the West today related to the spread of egalitarianism. The core of this idea would have been anathema to Pericles, as “it threatens to overwhelm that other great social impulse, the impulse to achieve, to excel, to surpass: ‘always to be best and to rise above others,’ as Homer put it in one classic expression of the agonistic spirit.”

Those impulses, so critical to the overwhelming success of the Athens of Pericles, certainly define the President Reagan, who, in my opinion, loved his country more openly and optimistically than many who preceded him. To my mind, they also characterize our current president, Donald J. Trump.

There are so many examples of President Reagan’s unbounded love for his country that it would be impossible even to begin a full discussion of them. Obviously, his confidence in the exceptional nature of his country shone through in his famous speech at the Brandenburg Gate — “Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!” But perhaps his most ionic speech was the one he gave for Barry Goldwater in 1964 — “A time for choosing,” a portion of which a family member, knowing of my dedication to the memory of President Reagan, had framed and is presently hanging on the wall of my den. The text is here, and it makes for electrifying — one is tempted to say “Periclean” — reading. Here is the portion that lent its content to become the commonly known title:

You and I have a rendezvous with destiny.

We’ll preserve for our children this, the last best hope of man on earth, or we’ll sentence them to take the last step into a thousand years of darkness.

Several speeches of President Trump would, in my opinion, certainly meet the high bar history has set in comparing any leader to Pericles. The one I would select was from his first term and was given in Warsaw. I would submit the Warsaw speech as the most Periclean of all his utterances. Here is one of my favorite passages:

We write symphonies. We pursue innovation. We celebrate our ancient heroes, embrace our timeless traditions and customs, and always seek to explore and discover brand-new frontiers.

We reward brilliance. We strive for excellence, and cherish inspiring works of art that honor God. We treasure the rule of law and protect the right to free speech and free expression.

We empower women as pillars of our society and of our success. We put faith and family, not government and bureaucracy, at the center of our lives. And we debate everything. We challenge everything. We seek to know everything so that we can better know ourselves.

And above all, we value the dignity of every human life, protect the rights of every person, and share the hope of every soul to live in freedom. That is who we are. Those are the priceless ties that bind us together as nations, as allies, and as a civilization.

Pericles said this about the Athenian form of government:

Our form of government does not enter into rivalry with the institutions of others. Our government does not copy our neighbors’, but is an example to them. It is true that we are called a democracy, for the administration is in the hands of the many and not of the few. But while there exists equal justice to all and alike in their private disputes, the claim of excellence is also recognized; and when a citizen is in any way distinguished, he is preferred to the public service, not as a matter of privilege, but as the reward of merit. Neither is poverty an obstacle, but a man may benefit his country whatever the obscurity of his condition.

I respectfully submit that we have had one president who more than met his standard, and we have a current president whose oft-repeated dedication to and love for his country also qualify him for that honor.

The Path to Happiness

 

True happiness lies only within ourselves, not in things. The path to happiness is therefore always the path to us.

If we want to meet our true self – with all its facets and wonders – we must face our fears.

Because, it is often our fears that prevent us from following our hearts alone.

The more often we deny ourselves the opportunity to do what truly corresponds to our inner being, the further we distance ourselves from it, until finally, after a long path of suffering, we barely recognize our true vision, our talents and needs.

Anyone who has ever followed the longings of their heart knows that this step was associated with fear, uncertainty, excuses and helplessness.

However, fears only hold us back if we avoid feeling them and facing them.

Because, behind them and in them lies the potential that allows us to live the life we want.

The Betrayal of Democracy

 

Being mean or telling the truth is indistinguishable to far too many people.

~ Mike Thompson on X

Woke liberalism is exactly what Christopher Lasch predicted in The Revolt of the Elites, published in 1995, the year after his early death at 61. Lasch saw how the juvenile idealism of Boomer hippiedom would slide into the narcissistic, sado-masochistic degeneracy of open borders, drag queen story hours, Covid-19 despotism, DEI racism, showbiz Satanism, censorship, forever wars, and now, the legal insurrection of lawfare.

In doing so, Lasch also predicted the “mass formation psychosis” described by Belgian psychologist Mattias Desmet, spawned by a crisis of meaning and purpose in the thinking classes of Western Civ. And now you know exactly how come a place like Boston, with its concentration of “elites” in universities, computer tech, and medical research displays a batshit-crazy dedication to ideas bent on destroying our political culture: the American republic.

The word republic derives from the Latin, res publica: the public thing, the idea of a state dedicated to the common good. By “state” you can infer both a group of people in a certain place, but also the set of conditions they dwell in. You can’t have a common good without a common culture, which means a general agreement among citizens on values in that certain place — which is our country, the USA.

You can’t overstate the importance of shared ideas and values in that enterprise of being a nation, we-the-people in our particular place. The juvenile idealism of Boomer hippiedom wrecked the crucial idea of a common culture, and I will tell you exactly how that happened. Two crusades: first, the civil rights campaign, and second, stopping the War in Vietnam, defined the era.

The first of these climaxed in twin landmark legislative acts designed to abolish Jim Crow racism: the Civil Rights Act of 1964, prohibiting discrimination in public places, and the Voting Rights Act of 1965, which prohibited unfair obstacles to voting. The idealism in that moment of history was extreme. The dominant old-school Liberal ethos displayed a sense of triumph. Its cardinal belief in human progress was validated in the new law-of-the-land. We were supposedly entering a utopia of racial harmony.

It proved to be a huge disappointment, a failure. In some fundamental ways, black and white America could not agree on certain values, especially language and behavior. These matters were so hypersensitive that discussing them became taboo, and when someone dared to — such as the rogue journalist Tom Wolfe in his book Radical Chic, which made fun of the cultural elites trying to socialize with the Black Panthers — he was buried in the most extreme censorious opprobrium by the elite good-thinkers of politics, academia, and the cultural media. They couldn’t believe old Tom dove clear through the Overton Window the way he did, head first.

In fact, a big segment of black America after 1965 became much more overtly separatist and oppositional, while white America became more frantically confounded and depressed by it. The result was the elite’s solution to that quandary: multiculturalism! Which basically meant: we don’t need a common culture in the USA. (We don’t need an agreement about values, language, and behavior.) Each group in America can have its own menu of these things. This accomplished two ends: it allowed criminal behavior to explode; and it allowed the elites to excuse themselves from any serious further attempts to manage the res publica. The people of the ghettos were free to do their thing; while the elites turned their full attention to Boomer careerism and Gordon Gecko style financial moneygrubbing.

As for the crusade to end the War in Vietnam, that was also an epic failure, never properly acknowledged. In fact, no one in the USA, no party or faction, ended the war. We simply lost the War in Vietnam. We just never said so, and still don’t. It ended in ignominy, with the last remnants of US officialdom in Saigon having to be rescued by helicopter from the roof of the American Embassy. The so-called “gooks” in their black pajamas beat the giant American “grunt” army with its bottomless supply of attack helicopters and napalm. Chalk up another “L” for old school Liberalism.

You can’t overstate how demoralizing this was. And so. . . the serial reenactments of our forever wars of recent decades, mostly botches and failures despite our vaunted “defense” establishment, our glorious war technology, and our fake commitment to “spreading democracy.” We simply need to prove that we can’t possibly lose wars against more primitive people — though we have lost repeatedly, the fiasco in leaving Kabul in 2021 being even more ignominious than the flight from Saigon. This can only be understood, finally, as a species of national neurosis.

As was absolutely everything about the George Floyd riots of 2020, Wokery-in-action, with the torching of cities, the looting flash-mobs, and the tearing down of statues honoring American heroes. Try understanding that as the latest chapter in civil rights egalitarianism gone awry, starting with the sanctification of the druggie thug George Floyd, who so perfectly personified the failures of multiculturalism. (What were his values? Ever ask yourself that?)

Now, try (if you can) to understand what the election of Mr. Trump represents: the drive to restore a viable American common culture, to re-set our agreement on values, to repair the broken res publica. And note how wildly that is resented and opposed by this corrupt and degenerate residue of idealism gone to hell (literally), this ragtag and bobtail of Democratic Party elites, consumed in their mass formation psychosis, addicted to lying and violence, and furious that they are no longer in command.

So, now you know how all this works. An American common culture matters, and if we can’t put it together, we’re sunk. This is our chance to put it together.

Two Obstacles

 

Dear friends, I am Jeshua, your brother and kindred spirit. I am here with an abundance of love that I connect deeply with the love in your awakened heart.

You have awakened to a more conscious reality even as you are living here on Earth, and that is very special. It is possible to spend many lives on Earth without true inner awakening because you are always consumed by the need for survival – you are caught in this perpetual struggle. Many of the lives you have led as a soul on Earth, especially in the initial phase of your development here, were about getting used to living in the earthly reality.

You are becoming familiar with the energy on Earth, with the opposite energies of fear and joy, dark and light; you have discovered the wide play of emotions in the deepest sense. Shades of dark and light affect your mood and move you as a living, feeling being. And this experience is very intense for a soul who needs to learn about being here, because the soul has emerged from more equable celestial spheres.

Life as a human being on Earth can be very demanding and distracting. It takes a lot of time and life experience on Earth to develop a consciousness that is able to allow space around emotions – a consciousness that is able to create a center, an “I”, that is really free – a self that is more than a plaything for the many emotions, moods, and thoughts, but is founded in a deep center that is connected to the soul.

An earthly human does not need to be consciously connected to the soul. One can live without that connection and remain unconscious, because as a human being one is especially busy with experiencing life here on Earth. But you are different, in the sense that you have a very clear need to experience your soul and to feel connected with it, and to live from it.

At this stage of development on Earth, it is now the time for this connectedness to manifest. It is necessary that the light in people is ignited from within and that people wake up; that their soul, the eternal spark in them, is admitted into their daily lives and, in a literal sense, becomes awake and alive.

Feel for a moment what that means for you. Have you ever in your life clearly felt that your soul was very near to you; that there is an inner knowing or a gentle stream of love and encouragement within you? Perhaps a silence in which you quite clearly realized: “There is something that supports and helps me. There is something greater than my thinking and my emotions, and this greater reality feels good – but can I trust it completely?”

The voice that you hear is the voice of love; not an emotional love, but a knowing, wise love. You all have had moments in your life in which you experienced that feeling and heard that voice, such as when you were in distress or when you were faced with an important decision. Try now to recall such a moment. Remind yourself again of that calm knowing surrounding you, which set you at ease while, with your earthly sensibilities, you had no idea what was going to happen. Your soul lives in that silence, and she wants to descend deep within you.

You – humanity as a whole – are enthralled by your thoughts. The mind is a valuable instrument, but it needs leadership, and you have forgotten that. You think you can just go through life with your mind on automatic pilot, but life does not work that way.

At this time in evolution, when it is so necessary for the call of the soul to be heard, you are very much hampered by two things: the first is fear, and the second is your “head”: your identification with the thinking, organizing processes in your life. I want to speak now about these two obstacles.

The first obstacle, fear, lives in all of you. Feel it now. How often do you feel tense, restless, busily worrying about so many issues in your life? That anxiety takes on a particular tone, you might say, a vibration in which you are trapped. Fear and busy thoughts often go together: thinking becomes pressured, restless, and worry-filled. However you experience these thoughts, the tone is set by fear, which comes in many guises and forms.

I spoke earlier about a fear that is characteristic of the survival mode, the belief that life is a struggle. But you also have to deal with another fear, which is that you are going to break free from the old traditional way of thinking and doing, and realize that you are really a Self, an “I”, connected with your soul. And this breaking free and realization requires that you allow space for yourself.

One of the things you fear most is to be greater and to take up more space. You have forgotten that sense of yourself because a lot of the educational concepts are designed to teach you to conform, to fit in with the rest of society. It is true that there is now more and more individual freedom and originality, but the need to adapt is still very strongly present in most people. Allowing your own “I ” to develop, with your natural impulses, desires, talents, does not happen by itself.

In the social interaction with one another – in work, at school, in the social environment – there is a sort of alluring compulsion to keep yourself hidden behind a mask, to join in, and to not stand out, to not go against the mass common denominator. There is also the dread of standing out by speaking up, by expressing your truth. But the transition from ego to heart requires that you gradually let go of that fear.

You often long to let go of that fear because you feel that living in fear, by aligning yourself to common expectations, with all their varied obsessions, makes you unhappy and feel weakened. You want to live from joy and passion, to show your creativity, but that is only possible when you stop trying to fit in; when you truly feel what touches you and you know the reason why you are here.

I ask you to now experience that feeling within yourself. Imagine that a flame or torch resides in your belly, and imagine that presence in whatever way you can. In the element of fire is life, heat, light, but also passion and grounding: the fire in you wants to radiate in a grounded way. Let your awareness come down into your belly and welcome the fire within you, the creative fire that is connected to your unique soul. You are special – every person has special gifts, a unique vibration. Only when that vibration is allowed to be heard and seen, when you no longer feel the need to hide it, can you find fulfillment and happiness in your life.

See if you detect or sense, within that fire in your belly, an image of who you really are or want to be. It can be an image, a feeling, a color, a symbol. Sense what in you wants to flow. See what you have suppressed, and feel the energy of that suppressed part of you, your creativity, flow through your spine from top to bottom. Make yourself welcome and have compassion for yourself because your original fire, your strength, your passion, your love, has been suppressed.

You seldom even recognize yourself. You no longer remember exactly who you are and what deeply touches and motivates you. That is the tragedy of many people. They feel caged and trapped in the need to adapt and do not feel good doing that. Yet, they do not know exactly what other options they have.

The first step is to again feel yourself, although it is difficult to know right away, at the practical level of action, exactly what you have to do. The form in which to express your unique energy is often not yet known to you. So the first step is to feel where you stand, what you have suppressed, what you want most – your dreams, your wishes – without restrictions. What do you feel is missing in your life? Feel it in your gut. Imagine what would happen if you allowed this energy to radiate outward to other people; if you showed your true face: your unique vibration, your talents, but also your feelings, letting others know what is bothering you – if you threw off your masks and were authentic, sincere, and honest.

A lot of people sincerely desire that authentic connection, but are thwarted by the social pressure to adapt. Be an innovator! Be a pioneer for this world! Dare to show yourself! You will be doing it both for yourself, as well as for others, because being faithful to your unique self, gives something to others. You give to them the space to show themselves and also to deviate from the norm: from what is seen as acceptable or proper. Dare to be free! Every day, let your feelings flow.

This brings me to the next point, the second blockage that keeps you from experiencing connection to your soul, and that is the mind. You have been overly trained to approach situations from your head. Already during early schooling, you were encouraged to do so. But also later, in your work, there has been a lot of emphasis on the mental. You have wandered far away from the childlike spontaneity that once existed within you.

You are sometimes allowed to be a child in your free time, or when you are on vacation. But this is a very odd situation, because the best of yourself, especially in your work and creative activity, only emerges if you are in touch with your inner child, your spontaneity, your emotions. Still, you are almost obligated to control your emotions in work situations, to be rational, but that stifles true creativity.

There is also something else that affects you, and that is what I call the scientific worldview. At one time, church and religion were very dominant in society, and breaking through the dogma and the power of the religious tradition was a good thing. The free and open thinking of the sciences was a revolutionary innovation for humanity. It has brought many good things: innovation, a new way of seeing. But in the end, the scientific way of looking and sensing began to smother intuition and has led to a very one-sided approach to reality and to being human.

Look at the endorsed way one looks at health, body, nature, and emotions! The official, thus the scientific approach, is very restrictive and impoverishes nature. However, that approach has become a part of you; it is not only something imposed from the outside. It is so overpowering that you also look at yourself and your reality in that same way. And this hinders even the connection with your soul, because contact with your soul is something that flows, something with feeling and intuition, and this cannot be proven scientifically.

It is often the case that when you make contact with something higher – with your soul, with a guide, with an inner knowing – everything is shrunken down by a skeptical voice within you. You think that the skeptical voice is true, honest, trustworthy: ” We should not let our imaginations run wild and fool ourselves”. But that way you cut off, as it were, an original organ, an original sense, namely that of your intuition. You alienate yourself from your power of seeing, and that keeps you from a living connection with your heart and your soul.

Appreciate scientific thought and insight; it has had significant breakthroughs and is valuable, but it is not the only worldview. Do you remember those moments of quiet about which I spoke in the beginning? A knowing that is penetrating and true, even if your mind cannot grasp it? Feel the presence of your soul in the silence. That is where thoughts come to rest and you can feel the space around your thoughts.

Mental activity is not all-powerful. There is a much greater intelligence present in the universe and in you, and it is present in the now. Because of your fear, you always want to know more and more things, but the intelligence of which I speak, that of your soul, that is here in the now. This voice speaks in the now and shows you your true feelings and what you have to do, what is important to you now.

Your soul is not that interested in external results, in what you will do, in what you are trying to achieve in society. The soul is basically interested in your inner development; that you experience freedom while you live on Earth – that you wake up. That you are aware of yourself and that you feel the joy of that – that you are not a victim of the powers here on Earth – that you really live from your heart connected with your soul.

Invite your soul in. Do not think about it, simply say “yes” to it. She is the source of your being; she is no stranger. Your soul tingles and bubbles up in you, in all your body cells, but it is your consciousness that determines whether you allow her in or if you succumb in your daily life to the fear of being different or of standing out. Call on this consciousness for help – you are not alone.

It is precisely in the connection with your soul, in knowing what moves you, what touches and drives you, that you become truly connected to the whole. Maybe you will lose a job, or a relationship will disappear from your life. Maybe your connection with people will change, and also the form of connection. But real loneliness is caused by a brokenness, a gap in yourself. If you are estranged from your own soul, if you live from fear, then you are the loneliest. It is the inner connection to your soul that is fundamental.

Dare to be alone, to be different, to strengthening this connection. Dare to show your true face. Trust your feelings; do not let your head decide everything. Take time for peace and quiet for yourself. Even if your emotions are railing loudly, stay with them with a quiet consciousness – quiet and loving, without judgment. Then those emotions will come to rest at an appropriate time. It is through the emotions that you then begin to sense what is really important. You then make contact with the intelligence of the soul, and that is far greater than the mind can grasp.

What you do here on Earth is important – you make a difference. There is a lot in motion now on Earth. But precisely because of the birth of new light, of new consciousness, there is also much confusion and chaos, because the dark is drawn to the light, literally. So do not become discouraged. Your inner path has an impact on the collective consciousness. You create new paths for consciousness by your courage to follow your inner way. You reflect what you truly are by being honest with yourself. You pave new roads for consciousness, so honor and respect yourself for doing that. You are not alone; you are carried by a field of consciousness that is now everywhere on Earth. Feel the joy of it. You will be supported – feel my love.

Thank you so much for your attention and your presence here.

Recent History of the Party of Hoaxes, Hustles, and Hatred

 

Bad as it was, “Joe Biden,” the figment president was merely one manifestation of a nation made mad by power-seeking demons, real-live, ill-intentioned human beings driving a runaway political machine, the party of hoaxes, hustles, and hatred. The country is just now struggling to exit a convulsion of mass mental illness. The demons are still there, though, and still hard at work trying to drag you all back into mass formation.

A central mystery is how the news media made itself the enemy of the people, and this conundrum is not at all explained by Jake Tapper and Alex Marshall in their book Original Sin. It’s actually just another hustle with overtones of hoax, like everything else in the evil cavalcade of narratives spun out in the news media’s war on reality. Tapper and Marshall want you to believe that a faceless collective they call “the White House” managed to conceal “Joe Biden’s” well-advanced disintegration from the voting public, and that was. . . that. The media wuz fooled! Goll-lee!

Of course, that fails to explain a whole lot — such as: how come anybody watching daily video clips of “Joe Biden” in action, could not fail to see the broken old puppet he is. Alex Marshall, receiving his “award for excellence” from the White House Correspondents’ Association weeks ago said, “We just missed it.” Yeah, sure. . . . They also apparently missed the programmatic devastation to American society that was carried out in the old stumblebum’s name.

I will give you the key to that conundrum, and then you will understand why all this happened, and why the many lingering demons are still at it in their self-styled “resistance” to America-in-recovery. Mr. Marshall lied, you understand. The media connived with the demons. They were in on the gag the whole time.

If there is any “original sin” in the story, it revolves around Hillary Clinton. This monster emerged as the junior partner to her husband, political wonder-boy Bill Clinton. From the get-go, the narrative painted her as a wife sore-beset by her charismatic husband’s infidelities. (Forget that her only child, Chelsea, is a dead-ringer for her former law partner, Webb Hubbell.) However their connubial affairs worked, Hill and Bill had a deal: when he was done, she would eventually rise to become the first woman president, and they would go down in history as two era-defining, Boomer gen, political wonder-geniuses.

It was a flawed plan. For one thing, Hillary utterly lacked Bill’s political charisma, which was his ability to avidly engage with other people and their issues. Hillary didn’t care much for other people, and only pretended to be interested in their issues. Also, people could easily read that in her demeanor. Nobody was fooled. If anything, she had negative charm, anti-charisma. Her own interests were strictly limited to obtaining power and riches. With enough power, Hillary noticed, you didn’t need charm or charisma. You could simply order people around. But the power couple left the White House broke in 2001, and were caught trying to spirit away some of the presidential dinner-ware.

The next phase of Hillary’s career was fortune-building. The Clinton Foundation was set up in 1997, ostensibly to fund Bill’s presidential library. It would become a fantastic grift magnet in the years to come, taking them from broke-ass-broke to demi-billionaires. Her launching pad was a seat in the US Senate. (She ran and won in New York when she was still First Lady in the 2000 election.)

2008 was supposed to be Hillary’s apotheosis from senator to president. The setup was perfect. The country was tired of Double-ya Bush. The time was exactly right for a woman president. Hillary was the obvious choice by a country mile. Except that she was edged out in the primaries by the Democratic Party’s alternative play for something even more amazing, in a contest of historic firsts, than a woman president — a black president, proving to the world how morally upright the USA had become, America liked how it felt. We were good people, after all!

Barack Obama liked playing his role, and he seemed to have more charisma than Hillary (though he didn’t care much for other people either, really). His sketchy background included a lot of people tinged with Marxism, such as his mentor in Chicago, Bill Ayers, an infamous Sixties radical, rumored to have ghost-written Obama’s books. And he was ensorcelled by big bankers like Robert Rubin of CitiGroup, and by Globalist bigshots orbiting Davos and the WEF.

Yet, Senator Hillary Clinton was still aggregating power as leader of Democratic women voters, a massive base. It was clear that she would remain in the game, aiming for her eventual “turn” in the White House. So, Mr. Obama made a deal with her: he would elevate her to Secretary of State, further fortifying her credentials, and then stand behind her in a 2016 run.

Hillary used her years at State to also fortify the Clinton Foundation’s coffers in various pay-to-play schemes — such as the Skolkovo tech deal with Russia and the Uranium One deal that netted the Clinton Foundation combined pledges of over $275-million, according to Clinton Cash author Peter Schweizer. The 2010 Haiti earthquake crisis was another bonanza for the foundation and its partners. One might also surmise, from the recent DOGE reports, that the fabulous armature for grift that USAID became, spawning countless NGOs, was engineered by Obama appointees like Samantha Powers and Hillary’s State Department machine.

In 2015, Hillary, off-and-running, came to the rescue of the Democratic National Committee. The party was foundering in debt. It entered a joint fund-raising agreement with a PAC called Hillary for America (HFA) and the Hillary Victory Fund. The agreement gave Hillary control over the DNC’s finances, strategy, and staffing decisions that enabled her to snake out Senator Bernie Sanders for the nomination. Hillary’s nomination, the drive toward her “turn,” was when the trouble really blossomed.

Pitted against the rising outsider, Donald Trump, in 2016, Hillary’s lack of charisma was sinking her campaign. So, with a little help from John Brennan at the CIA, Glenn Simpson’s Fusion GPS political media company, the FBI under Director Jim Comey, and lawfare ninja Marc Elias at the Perkins Coie DC law firm, the Russia collusion hoax was dreamed up and put into action.

That was the “original sin” that set up the Party of hoaxes, hustles, and hatred to become greatest lie-spewing operation in US history, with reverberations for the decade-to-come. It also became the greatest ass-covering op in US history, with each successive raft of lies — the Mueller Investigation, impeachment #1, the stolen election of 2020 and installation of “Joe Biden,” the J-6 op, impeachment #2, the Trump prosecutions of 2024 — all requiring successive layers of cover-up and lies.

Since the news media despised Donald Trump, and was convinced by its own bullshit that Hillary would win the 2016 election, they all ran with the Russia collusion story and turned it into RussiaGate. They miscalculated, of course. Mr. Trump won, a stunning surprise, a shock really to everyone, including Mr. Trump himself, who utterly lacked experience running a government and was bamboozled, sand-bagged, and eventually hoaxed into defeat — Covid-19 being the coup-de-grace. The news media had to continue lying to the country throughout and beyond all of that to pretend that they were not equally culpable for all this mischief.

And so, they ran with every deception of “Joe Biden’s” ruinous term in office. Alas for them, the indefatigable Mr. Trump rallied, persevered through the concocted prosecutions cooked up by Norm Eisen, Mary McCord, Lisa Monaco, and the rest of lawfare ninjahood, and is now back in power with an assembled team of appointees who are the Left’s worst nightmare.

What kept it all going — all the lying, gaslighting, deception, prevarication, and sedition — was the lack of accountability. It was a fatal intoxicant. That’s over now, though turning in the direction of justice is necessarily difficult and delicate, considering the elevated level of derangement among the public, the fragility of the national psyche, and the danger signals emanating from the zeitgeist.

It looks like the accounting will begin in earnest now. We are going to find out who was acting behind the empty figure of “Joe Biden,” and who ran the auto-pen. And working backward from there, this will all unspool in one, long, appalling thread of treason.

When the Civil War ended, and after Republican President Abraham Lincoln liberated the slaves, Democrats initiated Jim Crow laws to punish blacks. Democrats discriminated against blacks. In fact, the KKK was founded as the terrorist wing of the Democratic Party.

On April 20, 1871 the Republicans passed the anti-Ku Klux Klan Act outlawing Democratic terrorist groups.

The last KKK official to serve in Washington, DC was former Senator Robert Byrd, a KKK kleagle. Byrd was a top Democrat and friend of Joe Biden.

In fact, throughout the Civil Rights era of the 19th and 20th centuries, Democrats fought against freedom and rights for the black man.

Here is a brief history of the end of slavery and emancipation in the United States via Michael Zak at Grand Old Partisan and later reposted at Free Republic:

Memorial Day Addendum: Future of the Democratic Party and the Country

At its plainest, MAGA means returning to an economy based on producing things of value. To many, this might conjure up the image of humming factories, good pay for honest work, and a well-ordered, content, patriotic populace grateful for their prosperity, in other words, something like the America of 1958, when Mr. Trump was entering puberty.

It’s a comforting vision. Parts of it seem possible to achieve. Maybe we can rebuild an industrial infrastructure of up-to-date factories. Didn’t we voluntarily deep-six all the old ones only a few decades ago? And for what reason? So that faraway nations rising out of darkness could make all the stuff we wanted at a fraction of the cost? Turned out to be a bad bargain based on supremely foolish short-term thinking.

It also came with a set of very corrosive financial arrangements based on the US dollar as the world’s reserve currency. These are pretty abstruse, but suffice it to say they enabled us to rack up phenomenal debt that we will never be able to pay off. We even fooled ourselves into thinking that we could replace that old economy of factory production with financial games based on jiggering interest rates and innovating ever more complex swindles. That merely produced a fantastic divide between the financial gamesters raking in billions while the former factory workers were left broke, demoralized, sick, and strung-out on drugs.

As a basic proposition, it’s doubtful that we can return to anything like a 1958 disposition of things based on rising continental-scale enterprise, as in the Big Three automakers and General Foods. It all seemed like a good idea at the time, and the zeitgeist pushed it, but we can see where it landed us: in the ghastly suburban sprawl clusterfuck and the overall ill health of the people. Also the scale of things is done rising; is, in fact, contracting.

And yet we are surely lurching into a new disposition of things, probably featuring a reduced population (disease and infertility induced by the Covid vaccine op), falling energy production (despite the whoop to drill-baby-drill), and much smaller-scaled, re-localized production of goods and food — if we’re lucky. (Events are in the driver’s seat, not personalities, even gigantic ones like Mr. Trump’s.) If we’re not lucky, the disorders of change itself may overwhelm our ability to remain civilized.

The Democratic Party, being more a religious cult (of envy, grievance, and revenge) than a political faction, this Memorial Day celebrates their patron saint George Floyd, a fake martyr whose death by fentanyl overdose sparked a summer of looting, arson, and homicide followed by a fraud-saturated election.

The Black Lives Matter operation proved to be hustle, that is, an effort to extract money dishonestly. But it morphed into the even more pervasive DEI op, seeping into every institution of American life and contaminating each of them with incompetence and grift, larded with sanctimony. That’s over now, but what is the Democratic Party left with? It has put itself at the service of the depraved Deep State, the rogue permanent bureaucracy that has developed a malevolent hive-mind dedicated to maintaining its perquisites at all costs. In other words, it is vested solely in power. . . power over the people of this land. . . to dominate, regulate, asset-strip, and punish for the crime of wishing to be civilized.

The Democratic party is on the wane now. Its insanity has become so exorbitant that no one of healthy sensibility can bear to be associated with it. Those who remain involved in Democratic Party politics are largely those liable to prosecution for manifold crimes against the country, now using the most unprincipled dregs of the legal system to keep them out of prison. The party will be defeated utterly.

The Deep State it served is getting disassembled systematically by MAGA, deprived of funding, de-staffed, shut down. It has nothing left but lawfare and a claque of judges who will lose their battle with legitimate law and the Constitution. If it attempts to revive its street-fighting proxies this summer, that too will get shut down swiftly and harshly. Lessons will be learned. All of which is to say that the Deep State’s war against the American people could be drawing to a close. That is something to be grateful for this Memorial Day.

MAGA will then be left to battle with the forces of nature, which basically means physics, especially as applied to the mechanisms of money. MAGA could easily founder if it fails to face the current deformities of finance, namely the gross, untenable debt hanging over the country. I’m not so optimistic about how that might work out.

When I look at the Democrat Party’s history I see a consistent and frightening pattern. Southern Democrats owned the slaves, started the Civil War, formed the KKK, opposed passage of the 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments, and passed Jim Crow laws and the Great Society legislation that decimated the nuclear family. They currently promote the losing side of every 90/10 issue facing America, such as championing MS-13 gang-bangers and Islamic terrorists and placing graphic pornography in K-12 schools.

How likely is it that a party would consistently choose actions that are harmful to those they claim to serve? “Once is happenstance, twice is a coincidence, three times is enemy action,” wrote Ian Fleming

Promoting evil for personal gain is as old as humankind and people have always looked for the source.

Scripture warns us that we "…do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places."

In the Old Testament, Ba’al was a supernatural entity who demanded child sacrifice in exchange for prosperity. By contrast, Jezebel wielded a seductive charisma, bending loyalty to her will. The Left, particularly the Democrat (they're not democratic) Party utilizes sacrifice and deception, forfeiting the well-being of society for control (Ba’al) while at the same time masking its motives with charismatic manipulation (Jezebel).

The Democrats enact policies that are sold as progress but instead erode the vulnerable. The slaughter of over 63 million unborn children is peddled as "reproductive justice.” Chemically sterilizing children and surgically mutilating their genitals is referred to as "affirming gender identity." Letting criminals walk free while persecuting their victims is called "restorative justice.” Dysfunctional educational and public welfare systems stifle opportunity and promote generational dependency while working-class families are trapped in cycles of debt and despair.

The Left might justify these systems but the cost is Ba’al's due; communities are abandoned and our future is traded for votes. The disenfranchised cling to promises of reform that never materialize. Homelessness, illiteracy, and drug dependency rise as do rates of obesity and mental illness. The party hides behind Jezebel's facade as it enacts Ba’al's toll, consuming the very society it claims to serve. Jezebel’s danger is that she masks Ba’al’s sacrifices, making betrayal feel like salvation.

The Jezebel archetype has been weaponized with sexist or racist undertones as we've seen with college admissions and immigration policies. Those under her sway persuade voters with their rhetoric but their policies sustain the status quo; enriching themselves and doling out crumbs for the masses. Some Democrat voters have begun sensing the gap between words and deeds and their sentiments are reflected in the polls.

Together, the Ba’al and Jezebel archetypes form a toxic synergy of despair and deception. The Left sells policies that may attract their base but serve to deepen inequality and ensure dependency. They keep the masses desperate but pacify them with hope. Their narratives obscure truth, their policies sacrifice and seduce the unwary and uninformed, which hollows out democracy.

The Left and particularly the Democrat Party has become a machine that trades lives for power and trust for illusion. But it is not unique to their side we see the same danger emanating from some Republicans, such as Lisa Murkowski (R-AK), Lindsey Graham (R-SC) and Susan Collins (R-ME).

To quote Dan Bongino again, “Most Republicans in Congress are really Democrats, but no Democrats are really Republicans.”

Am I saying that some politicians are possessed by demons? Of course not. But human nature is weak. As James Madison wrote, “If men were angels, no government would be necessary. If angels were to govern men, neither external nor internal controls on government would be necessary.”

The lesson is vigilance: question leaders who promise yet fail to deliver, scrutinize policies that promise but harm. Citizens must look beyond narratives to find truth. Only by demanding accountability can we resist the pull of these ancient shadows, ensuring that power serves people, and not the other way around.
