Gambling on your future is not something that we would recommend. We instead advise you to take into consideration and take precautions to better your chances of ascension, not slowing, not quitting and not ignoring your responsibilities to make the reality that use you choose for yourself made manifest by your thoughts, words, intent and action. This is what we advise to you; we advise you to take stock in yourself. Analyze and categorize yourself and the many facets and aspects of yourself. What is it you consider an accomplishment, and by accomplishment we do not mean awards, trophies or contests that you have won or the amount of money that you have been able to earn. What we mean by accomplishment is what areas of yourselves have you been able to sharpen, to increase your abilities within yourself and to work, deal and socialize with others.

For instance, what we are asking you is in what areas do you feel you have improved upon throughout this, the only incarnation that you can remember at this time. (We only ask you to focus on this lifetime, for you do not remember others and of course cannot consider this in your analysis.) So in what areas do you feel you have shown weakness or deficiencies? What areas do you see that have needed  attention, experiences and lessons to help you improve upon these areas, and which areas do you feel have received this improvement and which areas do you feel continue to need lessons and improvements? This should be an easy question for you to answer in some cases, and others an answer to this question will come to you only after careful thought, consideration and reflection upon your entire lifetime, not just adulthood, but going back as far as you can remember to your very early and formative years as a child, for it is here where many of your lessons have begun for you.

Distancing yourself from parts of your past and your lower selves may be a challenge for some of you, but it is challenges you have come here to face. Many of you did not come here for an easy ride, for this would not have garnered you what it is you wished from this experience. Take every challenge that comes your way as a golden opportunity, for this is what they are, opportunity after another in succession. These opportunities, if successfully utilized, will gift you with all that you have ever wanted in the end. That is what they are, each and every one of them, and if you could see them in this light it would give you the proper mindset to begin to find ways to defeat these challenges.

Seeing these challenges and tests of your strength and your will as more bad news, as more reasons to quit, to get down, to feel things are never going to change or get better is not a conducive mindset to success. This type of mindset is more conducive to failure, and it is not failure any of you have come here for or any of you are used to in your universal lives. This type of mindset to quit, to fail, to bemoan, to allow challenges and obstacles to get the better of you, to stop you, to impede you is a mindset that some of you have only picked up after you have journeyed here, for if these were your demeanors and your attitudes and the traits that you would have demonstrated you possessed, you would never have been chosen for these assignments in the first place.

Holding on to your dreams is a sure fire way for you to remain focused, to stay the course you have been traveling and to receive just what it is you have always wanted. To give up now, to forsake the dreams you have preserved inside you would be such a shame, as you are just a step or two now from the entrance way of the great kingdom that you have longed for, in some cases, for many eons of journey. There is nothing and there is no one that can stand in your way but you. Do you realize this? Do you realize that it is only you and your choices that could possibly stand before you and all that you have dreamed of, all you have ever wanted? It is you and you alone who are the guardsmen, the gatekeeper of this paradise, this kingdom, the realms of the higher dimensions.

So what is it that you are choosing? What is it that is keeping you from experiencing all that you wish to experience? it must be something, or else there would not be so many of you concerned that you may not ascend when the time comes for this great leap in your consciousness, in your reality, for if there were nothing in your lives or about yourselves that you felt was weighing you down, then each and every one of you would today be showing nothing but faith, confidence and surety that when the time came for you that you would be fully prepared and will have earned your right to step through the gates of this blessed kingdom.  

We see you protesting on the streets and we understand that you want large-scale change and you want it now. We are here to assist you make the changes that you call for and that you make clear it is what you wish for yourselves and your families. We are doing everything that we are permitted to do. We are not neglecting our duties in any way, shape or form. Those of you who see us as either lazy, or cowardice, or too pacifistic, or apathetic, or coldhearted, or mean, or uncaring, or abusive do not understand clearly who it is we are. We are you. We are your family, we are your friends. These are not metaphors. This is who we are. It is up to each and every one of you to decide for yourselves what these descriptions mean to you.
