Learning About Love




Greetings, dear ones, from the Brotherhood of Light. We welcome your presence, and are truly honored to be sharing our energies with you in October, 2004. In this, the year we called, "The Year of Action," you have been challenged to change at many levels, have you not? The rising energies are actually deepening and getting heavier, are they not? Yes, indeed, and so we counsel you again and again, dear ones, take care of yourselves. Eat fresh, pure food and water, sleep as much as you need to, and forgive yourselves for not meeting every linear deadline and detail. Do as much as you can, then rest and give thanks for what you did get done! What you didn't get to will wait until tomorrow.

As we have expressed before, the ascension process in evolving humanity at this time requires that you clear and cleanse all levels of your total Be-ing, physical, emotional, mental and spiritual, in order to rise gracefully along with and within the new energies. Unfortunately, your cultural perspective is traditionally left-brained and therefore a mental perspective of life. We are asking you to descend down into your physical body awareness, and realize how much clearing truly needs to be done! Why do you think that we have come forward in the last three years with the Circle of Grace clearing exercise? In this twenty-five year shifting process, it has taken fifteen years to establish the emotional, mental and spiritual concepts for the new metaphysics to energetically take hold giving you the last ten years to physically prepare. (We speak here to the first wave of awakened lightworkers, the forefront and catalyst for human consciousness expansion).

Dear ones, it may take you several years or more to fully clear your vehicles. This is quiet work, solitary work, in which you release internal pressure from your nervous system and thereby allow all of your other systems to regain an harmonious balance. But the Circle of Grace is much more than that it also clears all layers in all dimensions of experience. What does that mean? Well, it has to do with past-life damage and patterns that still need to be cleared, karma that requires balancing, plus the conscious re-awakening of your innate Spiritual connection. So much work being done all at once!

To gently remind you of our last communication, we said that it matters not what type of daily practice or meditation you embrace, as long as you do so, and now we will further explain why. Dear ones, the more intense the energies rise, the more need you will have of clearing chronic and daily stress from your systems. Whether it is active or sedentary, yoga or meditation, it matters only that you do it every day! For those of you who have found a resonance with the Circle of Grace exercise, we predict that you will grow to need daily clearing the more you clear your meridians, the more clearly you will feel when they load up again! You will feel heavier and heavier until your limbs draw you into bed and you can relax and release the most recent layer of stress you have accumulated. This is an inevitable process, one that you will grow accustomed to feeling more clearly as we have said, the clearer you get, the more expanded your senses become! You want better health? Clear your vehicle. You want higher and longer-lasting energy levels? Clear your vehicle. You want to rise into the heightened resonance of the non-physical realms? Clear your vehicle! You don't need to go anywhere. All the dimensions are around you, through you, co-existing with you, all beyond your sensory range until now.

By now, many of you are having new sensory experiences, from hearing disembodied voices to getting thoughts dropped into your head, to seeing flashes of things, or things that shouldn't be there. Your old, 3D way of thinking discounts all of this. It requires proof, it creates fear around ignorance, it resists change by digging in its heels and covering its sight. Fear blocks action. Yet, for those of you who have faced the changes you know you must make and are actively working on them, we say, congratulations, and watch out fear is right behind that elation you feel about finally moving up the path. Yes, fear of the unknown is a predictable visitor as you are going through these changes, dear ones, and we wish to say in this piece one major message: Each time you strike forth into the unknown, the first thing that you will encounter is your own fear. It is there, waiting to be diminished, whittled down, shoved aside, deleted, erased, pick a term, any one will do. Expect fear, dear ones, and know to meet it with guns blazing (chuckle). Right behind it is doubt, pushing in its ugly nose to further deepen your chaos.

Though fear and doubt may dog your heels, we say they are easy to kick away once your growing tool set is burgeoning with self-love, self-worth, and self-belief. Did you notice the common word here? Yes, SELF! Belief in yourself is the most necessary ingredient for creating a better future. The recent inpouring of Divine Mother Love from the Venus Transit of June 8, 2004 is creating a new chord within the rising energies. A loving balance will be required in all things, in all aspects of your life and your bodies.

Thanks to Venus, the most important shifting that will now occur is in the area of you guessed it, love! Your relationships to people, places and things will now begin to transition along with your senses, as you take in more information than previously possible and therefore see with new eyes. The more you flow with the changes that are needed in your lives, the more graceful and grace-filled your lives will become. The more you resist change and stick to your old ways of thinking, feeling and seeing, the more stuck you will become.

What is the best way to clear your fears and stay on track? Lie down every day and do the Circle of Grace with us. Go for a run, if that makes you feel clearer and more centered. Sit under your favorite tree, and feel the breeze slide over your skin. However you choose to do it, take some time each day to ground yourselves in your inner reality, before you go forth into the outer world!

Yes, grounding is vital now, even a half-hour spent outdoors each day will help tune you to the planet's shifting electromagnetic tides. If you are a seeker and have not yet begun physical clearing of some type, we urge you to begin now. The longer you wait, the harder it will be to achieve enough clearing before the energies become even heavier. Yes, with eight years still left until the projected 2012 marker, you are now in the exponential rise of the shifts curve in other words, the changes will be speeding up, and the energies will only get stronger, deeper, and heavier. Those who carry much auric damage or blockage will sicken more quickly as the energies thicken, for they will be unable to adjust. Those of you who get clear enough will be able to mesh with and carry these higher energies, and your total being, all PEMS levels, will get lighter!

Do you follow?

We hope you will!

Dear ones, the Millennium Shift is an energetic process, one that is occurring all around you and forcing you to change along with it. Achieving a light body state truly refers to clearing all low-resonance areas so that your total being can resonate at a higher, lighter, brighter level. All this talk about cellular changes, DNA expansion, your interdimensional potential how can you expect to achieve all of this without major bodily changes? Yes, one day this physical clearing will become so vital to your daily function that you will work it into your schedules, and the lucky ones among you will work their schedules around their preferred meditation times! Indeed, once you begin to teach your youngsters how to meditate daily (in whatever form you and they enjoy), then the beneficial effects of daily meditation on the human body and its longevity will truly be seen!

In our last communication we spoke of the need for a daily practice, for you to create your own sacred space and sacred energies for yourselves, rather than seeking them from an outside source. All along, our teachings have been focused on the clearing of the physical vehicle and how to create a new, higher perspective from which to live your lives. We have counseled you on how to find joy (also inside!) and release fear. Have you noticed yet our true intent? (Our higher purpose, if you will? Chuckle). The overriding goal of the Brotherhood of Light is to help humanity along the path to SELF-MASTERY. Dear ones, nobody can fit inside your skin but you. Nobody can live your life but you. Nobody can heal you or your life but you! Rather than preach, do this, take that, go there, we say, you came in as a beautiful, complete package all your potentials are tested by your lessons, all your truest talents and creativity are brought forth by the challenges of your lives, all of the crises you face are tests of the heart. Tests of courage, of faith, of values. As a planet of soul learning, the earth has been called the college of relationships.

There are four basic plots to any and every drama, did you know that? They are: Man against God, Man against Nature, Man against Man, and Man against Himself. You could fit any book ever written into one of these four categories. Whether it be myth, history, fiction or non-fiction, it matters not. We are not straying off-topic here, dear ones, but would like to point out that art imitates life, does it not? (Chuckles.) Yes, take any of your problems, dilemmas, or issues and examine them against this list you will find a place for each and every last blessed one in one of these four scenarios.

We ask you here to detach from the drama of what you are experiencing, and look at it dispassionately (pardon the pun!). What is the worst that can happen if you make this choice? What is the worst that can happen if you make that choice? Can you cover your needs to survive the worst that can happen, and strike forth in your new direction with faith in yourself that you will succeed? Yes, mediate doubt by protecting yourself against the worst of future potentials. Take slow, steady steps towards changing your life, if that is your pace. The comfort zone we often talk about is your emotional, mental, spiritual and yes physical comfort zone. It takes a rare person to be able to yank themselves up from one level to the next; it can be very dangerous if done in haste and with little forethought or planning. We say, take your time! While you are clearing your physical core, allow the mental body to plan the details, give your emotional body leave to fuel your convictions, and trust your spiritual layer to guide and lead!

Meanwhile, through all of that, please, please take the time to clear your physical cores. For that is what the human body is only the core layer, the matter that grounds all of your etheric layers. Your total being is a complex hologram of energetic layers that goes from the finest of energies to the densest of matter. You cannot separate any of these layers without damaging the whole. Conversely, you cannot blend and merge all of these layers into a higher resonance without clearing and balancing them first. Do you see, circles within circles, patterns within patterns, that you are all so similar and yet so unique? All with the same basic forms and functions, the same number of teeth and bones, the same arrangement of organs and symphony of chemical systems.

And yet, and yet what makes each person so different? It is not just a matter of genetics, getting a large nose from your father's side and curly hair from your mother's family. It is the unique soul spark that you each carry, combined with all the experiential learning from all your lifetimes, combined with the unique perspective that you each carry as you look at this life of duality from behind your physical eyes. Each of you carry joy and sadness, pain and laughter, knowledge and opinions, fears and faith, each in measures that create the uniqueness of your life expression and experiences.

But if we passed a hat and asked all of you readers to write down just a few problems and place them in that hat, we would find far fewer problems than the number of readers who participated. Why? Remember those categories we listed above, dear ones! We sit and patiently watch innumerable little dramas, all so similar, being played out in small circles of lives that coexist next to each other, creating a huge, seething tapestry of life dramas propelled by free will. What moves you forward? The ability to choose. The ability to feel whether or not those choices sit well, which gives you the opportunity to choose again! Dear ones, we remind you here that there are always alternatives, if you look carefully enough. There are always other choices waiting to be made. The beauty of your power, human being, is the ability to learn from your choices, to change your mind and choose again! That is how the soul makes progress NOT in stagnation.

Though many of you despair over the current state of marriage and feel that there is too much divorce in this world, that you have sworn to be together, better or worse, until death do you part, we gently point out that sometimes staying in a painful marriage or a stressful job can kill you quite effectively! Sorrow, sadness and fear weaken the body and create opportunities for it to sicken, then it is only a matter of which disease(s) you are predisposed or exposed to. When your belief system forces you to remain in a loveless relationship, do you think God is cheering for you? That Divine Source expects you to sacrifice your happiness for somebody else's view of proper tradition and behavior? Dear ones, we say you are moving away from the old, fear-based 3D tribe. You must also move away from the old, fear-based judgments that used to rule your lives. You must move beyond judgment anyway, towards yourself and others, in order to be able to love unconditionally. Are you the same person you were (five, fifteen) twenty years ago when you made that commitment? No. Would you pick that same person now to be your life mate? If your answer is no, dear one, then your path is clear. Painful as it may be, you must seek and find your own happiness above all else, your own self-love and self-worth, before you can share that love with another at a higher level of expression.

When you are dealing with concepts of this magnitude, dear ones, does it really matter if you are driving a Mercedes or a Ford? (Many chuckles.) In this time of heavier energies, when so much of your physical energies are unconsciously devoted to the shifting process, we ask you to simplify your priorities, simplify your daily lives, and be honest with yourselves as to what you want and don't want, what your really need and don't need. All of this will become simple, simple indeed, because as you rise into the higher dimensions, you will become attuned to higher morals, concepts and a higher expression of love in all that you do. Conditional love does not exist in the higher realms, children, so donâ't worry about having to deal with all the drama once you detach from duality it simply will not affect you any more, except that you will love all equally, no matter what pattern they are embroiled in. As you stand witness, you will hold for them their highest potential in mind while forgiving them for their blindness and their unconscious actions. You will have the power to love your worst enemy, and therefore make him friend. Once there is no longer any us and them at any level of your thinking and belief structures, you will have entered the higher flow of Divine Grace.

Do you follow?

We know you will!

We say again, there is no judgment in the higher realms, you only judge yourselves when you return to your eternal forms. Yes, death is the welcome release from another bout of school, then you go home to relax, refresh, and decide which lesson plan to tackle next. And what is it you judge yourself on? Why, how much love you created! How much you learned about truly loving yourself, and thereby loving the Divine Source from which you came. How well you shared that love with others, and how well you balanced the giving and receiving of love. In its progress up the spiral of reincarnation, the soul studies all the qualities of love in each life and each life segment (one quality every seven years, through childhood, adulthood, and old age).

Seeking, learning, and expanding your mental framework of reference is wonderful as well as necessary, but incomplete unless you apply all that you have learned. Don't put those books and what they teach back on the shelf - start consciously and physically living what they preach, and what you believe! Whatever teachings resonate for you, whichever path of faith you choose to follow all roads lead Home, back to the true source of all life energy. Know that your life lessons and experiences feed your soul with the information it seeks in order to learn about the different qualities of love. Since that is the true nature of the intense energy swell you are assimilating in this year 2004, we will close with a brief explanation of what that means.

First, we will remind you that in energetic, and therefore physical terms, human emotions reflect the vibrational tone of each persons total being. On a scale of one to one hundred (just to be linear for a moment, chuckle) fear occupies the bottom half of the vibratory scale and love dominates the top half. You can only vibrate within one tone at a time! Yes, and love cancels out fear! It is a higher tone. Have you heard of mind over matter? That your biography affects your biology? How you feel about yourself and your life directly impacts upon your physical health. When we beseech you to take charge of your thoughts and your emotions, we have good reason! Your emotional state is a combination of the workings of all of your layers PEMS for how you feel physically affects your emotions, how you feel mentally affects your emotions, how you believe affects your emotions, and the quality of your emotions (your emotional tone) rules the health of your body.

Some of the things we are about to list may not seem to belong to the right categories of Fear and Love. You can also see these as emotional states that fuel life lessons. Since your will (and how well you wield your will) is tied into expression through the emotional body (at solar plexus) you might see these qualities of love as emotional states that you wish to release or embrace. Free will overrules all amend the lists any way you please! {Author's note: the Brothers asked me to make the lists alphabetical, so as not to give any one category more importance than another. These are by no means complete lists, but offered to stimulate your understanding.}

Along that vibratory scale of 1-100, the lower half is Fear and you will find: Alienation, ambivalence, anger, anxiety, bigotry, blame, boredom, complacency, confusion, criticism, defeat, depression, despair, doubt, greed, grief, guilt, hatred, jealousy, judgment, loneliness, longing, pain, panic, remorse, resignation, shock, suffering, terror, tolerating, uncertainty, unhappiness, ugliness, and worry.

In the top half of the human emotional vibratory scale, you will find these experiences and expressions of Love: Allowing, balance, beauty, certainty, charm, clarity, commitment, compassion, confidence, contentment, courage, creativity, detachment, devotion, discipline, excitement, ecstasy, faith, forgiveness, harmony, honesty, honor, humor, innocence, inspiration, integrity, intuition, joy, liberation, passion, patience, pleasure, perseverance, protection, service, stillness, trust, truth, whimsy, and wisdom. But where would you place competitiveness, power, and sensuality? These are also aspects of the human experience that soul uses to learn about love, through the emotional interplays of your life lessons. Many of these experiences can be expressed in either a higher or lower vibration (like power issues), depending on your mind-set and the clarity of your vehicle. That's what repeating lessons are all about the conditions, situations or relationships you experience will keep repeating until you attain a higher perspective over them once soul has learned from a lesson, it moves on and so do you!

Now, superimpose onto these lists the four basic plots we stated earlier, mix well, and see how much work you have done or have yet to do. Please do not be disheartened by all of this information, for it is quite a lot, yet it speaks to the complexity of higher learning that is now within your reach. Dear ones, you have a common saying that we will use here don't sweat the small stuff! That is the one vital thought we will leave you with. Throughout all that is happening around you and within you, we ask you to remain flexible, open-minded and hopeful. Filled with certainty that you can achieve whatever you set your focus on. Brimming over with love for all living things.

Do you follow?

We hope you will!

Then truly we will meet, in the True Reality of All That Is. In whatever form you come Home to us, you will be well-greeted and dearly loved.

We await you, in All Love, The Brotherhood of Light
