We're living in an illusion. But it's a very real illusion, a very noisy one. Our lives are full of busyness and external distraction like no other time in the history of mankind. It's as if everything created has been purposefully designed to pull us into the external drama, to tempt us, to invest us, to entrap us. The paradox is, that every external 'entertainment' is but a reflection, often quite a distorted one, of an end goal that each soul is really, ultimately looking for. It's a place of absolute perfection, crystal clear clarity. It is infinite potential yet absolutely empty. It is the beginning, the end, and everything in between. It is the Void of Silence...

There is one amazing Eternal Spirit in this world. The Infinite Giver ever giving of Itself to all creation. I am one with all this Eternal Presence is and all it has. The heavens of the universe are open and I now receive an outpouring of blessings in my life.
I am a vessel of acceptance, upturned and filled to overflowing. I have enough to use and share with plenty left over; my supply is inexhaustible. There is no lack in the Divine Givingness. I recognize a universe of limitless wealth; all Spirit has is mine, and I inherit the kingdom of God. As I flow in the living stream of health, wealth, creative self-expression, and loving harmonious relationships, my joy and perfect balance are manifest.
I am the means by which God expresses Its givingness to the people in my world. I am one with the limitless treasures of this Universe. God is, I am. This eternal Truth ever was, is now, and evermore shall be. Gratefully, I stand still and watch the fulfillment of Law. I give thanks unto this, and so it is.
My heart is longing for peace and harmony as still ego and division is preached or hold on to. There is no unity in duality. When do you step over your shadow? When do you step out of this is my way and group and we know what is best or better said. When do you stop the competition of actions, explanations, words, beliefs, patterns. We make a stand for unity between the lightworkers around the world as we have only one common goal: ending the old duality system and bringing the new paradigm as a blue-print online.
There are some questions that have no answer for you. No answer satisfies. Questions you ask like these:
“Why did he die? Why was a baby born missing a chromosome or a limb? How can love be seemingly not in the human heart? How can there be murder in a world that God created? Why is there suffering? How can human love feel like pain at the same time? Even before love for another is incepted, it can feel like pain. How can there be loss? How can life be so powerful and yet so fragile? Are You heartless, God? How can You benignly watch our suffering and not hear us calling out to You?”
Alright. Hmm. How can I say? I’ve talked about the spiritual point of tension, how everything is getting strenuous. This particular week I want to talk about keeping the peace because we’re in a heated time period politically as well as a few other things.
The emotions may be wearing out on the sleeve. Many who are incarnate now as Lightworkers and Worldservers are getting personal challenges in their astrology charts. You can look that up with numerology and any number of tools. There are lots of ways to read various kinds of charts now. So you’re having this point of tension cosmically and most of you are having one personally as well.
