The Stranglehold Possessiveness

It is most astute, dear friends, for you to gather in such a moment as this to not only bring us in through the portal of energetic windows, so to speak, but to begin to realize the window works both ways. It is just not we who step in to your world and experience the exchange with you. It is you who open up and allow yourselves to come where we are. We remind you of this so you do not feel yourselves so caught, so stuck in the material density of your dimension. While you live that daily, while there are so many aspects and parts of your experience there that say the physical, the material, is really what demands everything that there is so little opportunity and time to allow the flow of energy on other levels to take over that, really and truly, if there is enough time left you might get there but in the reality of existence here now you have to give so much of who you are to the human condition. We are here tonight with a different message. It is not as if you have not heard this message before. It is not as if you have not recognized nor know that who you are and what you go through in this plane has meaning beyond just what you understand and what you think.
  
You have heard this over and over again. You know that you cannot exist here in this plane and find the joy, the lightness, the happiness, the sense of peace and acceptance that you want if you are constantly focusing on what the material is about, what the thickness of life and all the issues of trouble and hardship that you encounter are all about. Each one of you knows when you pay attention to that, when you give over to that, when you are constantly consumed by that which is of the physical, mortal world, you lose touch with something that is deep and joyous. You lose touch with the very reason of why you are here. That is where despair and hopelessness set in. Whether it is a hopelessness that you recognize easily, that you know is there, that you can embrace and encounter in ways that you can speak of to others or whether it is more subtle and you can’t put your finger on it but yet you know there is something amiss, something awry, it is here when you lose touch with the idea of what you really came for. We are bringing this again in this moment for you tonight because as you enter in to what you call in time the New Year, as you enter in to a new phase of energy, a new pattern of being here, you have to be able to access and grasp what it is that is going on on layers that you cannot see or understand in physicality.
  
“How do you do that?” you ask. “How do we access and take in what is coming from so many other layers of the dimensions and existences and universes that we do not know and understand and make sense of it, make it work here in this physical form? How would we even begin to know how to do that?” Yet each of you in those glimmers, those shining moments where you are affected, where you feel in some way that you are touched in a way you cannot explain or understand, know the truth of this. What we bring tonight, dear ones, is not just the idea that asking yourselves to expand beyond the simplistic and the dimensional way of being here only as a body, as an ego, and as a mind means that you will finally begin to be in touch with what brought you here and that despair and hopelessness that is so prominent among the human condition begins to take a back seat. Oh, this does not mean you will not be challenged; that struggles will not come to you; that you will not face constantly that density, that thickness, that energy that seems as if you can’t even breathe at times. Yes, that is a reality here as well. But it is a reality that is not meant to stop you. It is not meant to hold you back, to clog you up and say, “Drop all else that is light and full of wonder, drop all else that is a signal and a symbol of your divinity and just pay attention to the density, the thickness, and the struggle.” This is what you have for eons been allowing to occur in your world. You have let whatever comes to you in the way of challenge physically - whatever situations and incidents bring about emotions that you are afraid of or saddened by or turned into something dark and shameful – to deter you, to take you off-course, to throw you into an entire world that says, “You cannot find the joy, the acceptance, the peace, and the wonder of being a multi-dimensional being here.” You have allowed yourselves to listen to that and you have followed it. Even you who know better, even you who recognize the lightness, even you who in a heartbeat can speak the divine words and know the divine feel and grace, feel detoured, pulled into the thickness and the unrelenting sense of struggle that physicality and the human choices have taken you to.

All of you now know that this is not your preferred choice. This is the real meaning of this moment in time. This is the real meaning of shifting and changing and taking yourselves into a feeling that says, “We are going to do this differently.” You mean it even if you cannot understand what you mean. You are there to push yourselves to the very wall. You are there to say with clarity and intention and with an empowerment you did not know you possessed, “We are going to do this differently.” You will not fall prey to the old human adage but if I don’t understand it, I don’t have a plan, I don’t have a goal, I don’t know how to get there, then it can’t possibly happen. Yes, we are saying to you, stating unequivocally here to you gathered tonight, that you are now ready to move in that direction without having the plan and without understanding it. You are ready to release now into the faith and trust that says, “We are establishing a new way to be here and we are not going to let the old expectations, the old ideas, the old heaviness that has told us this is the only way you can attend and be human, to lead us.”'

Oh it is challenging, yes, dear friends! Oh, it means you must examine what am I doing every day? How am I reacting? How am I responding? Where am I attempting to be different? Where am I attempting to try a road that is saying, see, here in this moment with this person, with this scenario, you are tempted to go to the old response, the reactive response, the reactive response, the response that you for eons have allowed to lead you and yet you did not. You held back whether in silence or whether in deed or in any way that you can conjure it up, you made the effort to say, “No, I will not go the old way.” This, dear friends, no matter how fleeting it is, not matter how many seconds it lasts, is the energy you all are seeking. This is the real work of why you arrived here, you were born, and you have lived the lives you have thus far. Nothing else – nothing else – takes precedence over this. Many of you ask, “But then why have we had so many situations, so many things happen to us, have made so many choices that seem wrong or mistakes or things just came from nowhere and saddened us, brought us to tragedy, brought us to feelings of hopelessness and shame? Why all of that to happen if this is why we came, if this was the moment we were meant to find, uncover and embrace?” 

Well, dear friends, the answer lies not with us but with you. The reasons, as you like to call them, that you find yourselves now listening to these words, immersing yourself in these energies, and recognizing they have meaning and importance for you is because without your acquiescing to the old way, the old patterns of density, the old base emotions of fear and anger, shame and guilt, without you exposing yourselves there how could you find the platform from which to spring to the new? How could you endure and find a way to move in to what the energy is we are describing here tonight, what is your birthright, what is the very reason you came? There was a sense, a precedence that you have set through the choices of eons of human experience that let you come from that place, that perspective, so that you would know the difference. So you would be able to grasp and embrace and say, “I don’t prefer that. I want another way to live here. I want to create another scenario. I want to interact in different ways. I want to do so by noticing and recognizing when I am tempted to go back to the old and recognize that here is your brink, here is your moment to step into the new.” This is precisely why you are here tonight. It is not because you have not heard this before. It is not because many of you have not embraced it, understood it, assented to it, embraced it in a way that says, “I will go after it” but because you know you fall. You continually, by the challenges of life and the situations that come forward, are searching, seeking, how do I do it differently? How do I not react and respond in the same old way?

Well here tonight, dear friends, as in other gatherings, we are highlighting a particular way. We are focusing on something we have mentioned before. We are bringing forward an idea that you have heard and nodded to knowing that it affects you, knowing that it is a key element into why you do react in the old way, why you do lose the faith, why you can’t trust and release to something better is here and I want to be a part of it and become encumbered by the old tired ways. You know it is here. You recognize it and once again we highlight it. That, dear friends, is the idea of possessiveness. You have no idea how your very core of life, the very systems you have set up, the very way you relate to each other, is based on what you would call ownership or possessing. You have that kind of system, you give over to that kind of rule, you let yourself be somehow represented by energy that says it is all based on what is mine and what is yours, on what is ours and what is not. You see and sense that every single element of the structure in your culture and cultures throughout the planet in the humanity that you have now become has been based on this. Really and truthfully, dear friends - every element from a task as simple as purchasing something at a store to a grander and more global energy that exists among countries and their connections across your planet – everything is basing on your assessment of what is possessed – by you, by someone else, and what you have to do to change that.

Let that seep in. Let yourself just fondle that idea. Let it more around in the very recesses of your minds. Let yourself just recognize as you look back and reflect on this day where were there evidences of mine and yours, of his and hers? Where did you get the idea that to live here in the oneness of cooperation and the Oneness of Being and the reflection and mirroring of the Divine that somehow striking up this whole concept of possessiveness was going to allow you to do this? Where on your journey as humanity did you turn into this from being a collective of us to a separation of yours and mine? We ask this question not that you will go into the thinking recesses of your minds to answer it. Some of you may for it is an interesting thought but beyond thought we bring it to your attention because this will make the difference in whether you move into this next phase of what you call time or year with a freedom and a release and a feeling that faith and trust can lead you as opposed to fear, worry, anguish and anger. This is the very core concept that is going to separate you from depending on the base emotions that keep you in ego/fear or whether it is the movement to liberation of saying we can do it a different way.

You can apply it in any way you choose, dear friends, You can look at yourself, see what your behavior has been about, see how you have interacted with others and then say, “Look how I call that mine. That is my relationship with her. That is my way of doing things. That is my opening.” That is my this; that is my that. You come back and react to this and say, “Well, how else do you maneuver here? We have a world of material worth. We have physicality. We have the tangibility so we parcel it up into yours and mine.” But this is precisely it, dear friends. For eons you had material worth, you had physicality, you had everything that you have now in terms of what this planet offers and you did not strike up an energy system that constantly cut it up, that parceled it out like a pie – that is your piece, that is mine. This is my emotion, that is yours. I am like this, you are like that. Now, as you give into that concept, as you let it be the very core of how you exist here, how you take the next step and the next step, and the next step, you wonder; why are we not lifting? Why are we not liberating? Why do we not feel freer? Why are we still under the old guarded ways of being so vigilant on what it is I have and you don’t or what it is that I have that I must give to you or what is it that you have that I want from you? Why is it that you allow the structure of your days, your weeks, your months, your years, your decades to add up to this? This is where the focus is now. This is why it is so important at this juncture, at this moment, to pay attention here. This is the very core, the very key to help spring you from the old way, the old patterns. This is what frees you from the base emotions that tie you down, that smother you, that keep you in those fits and starts of fear and anger, worry, antagonism, judgment and control. All of this will find its way back to the idea and the belief of the possessive.  

So again you ask, “What do we do? How do we take a system and a concept and a way of existing here that for eons has been our way of maneuvering through the human world and then suddenly dissipate it; suddenly say, ‘I no longer prefer to participate when the entire world is structured on this?’” In your ability to even function here you have to constantly be utilizing these terms and looking at your existence in the concept of mine and yours, in the possessiveness of Mother Earth herself. The sheer ludicrousness, the sheer nonsense of you feeling like you can take Mother Earth and parcel her up because you got there first or you paid that amount of money or you exchanged some sort of valuable worth and then said now this is mine! Step back for a moment, friends. Look at that. Recognize how it gets in the way of you freely enjoying and sharing and moving about the energy saying, “Here is my moment with this aspect of Mother Earth where I’ll live and flourish and then the next moment when I am ready to move along or circumstances have changed, here it is for you to step into.” This is not foreign to you as a human race.  

This is the way you began here. This is the way you have existed and yet you call it progress, advancement, civilization because you have decided that Mother Earth can be parceled out! You have decided that you have a right based on whoever was there first, whoever got more of whatever the compensation was, could claim and say this is mine. Then you fight each other over it. You take great umbrage in someone saying, “Well can you not share? Can we not come in and be a part of it and you be a part of it with us?” Oh yes, there have been moments of that. You can look back on your history and find those brief, shining moments where there was a recognition of asking and then receiving and then finding yourselves working cooperatively together in a supportive way without having to say just make sure you don’t step over that line because that is where yours and mine separates. There have been moments, long ago in your world of time, where you fully embraced and accepted that way of life. You gave over to it, lived it and did so in a way that allowed grace, that allowed acceptance and peace to reign supreme. Let no one tell you that the human being came on to this planet in ascensioncy and its ability to know with great thought and began to fight over it. No, dear ones. Anyone conjecturing in that direction is taking a literal kind of acceptance and a literal kind of description of your now world and is using it to look back and conjecture and decide. But we can tell you – easily, clearly, and with an intention of purity and sincerity – that the human race lived for eons on this planet without any need to be dividing it up and calling it theirs.  

This is a moment of truth for all of you; not so that you will go back to that moment. It is not that we are suggesting you have to recreate everything of that time for you could not. This is not the way this dimension works. But could you step in to a different way of looking at each other, a different way of taking the complicated, integrated system you now all function in and begin to apply this as a simple tenant, a simple condition, as you interact and live here among each other? Can you all do that now without having to be a part of the government, without having to make a huge, universal, global statement but just simply in your own life watch where you are parceling out energy – whether it is emotion, physical space, thought, and calling it yours? The idea that you fight over who had the idea first, who was plagiarizing, who is taking this piece and making it theirs, who is saying, “I own this and your rights to it now have been blocked.” - look how much of what the very idea and ideals you live by every day as you get up and move and maneuver around your planet is governed by that. Then you wonder why can war not disappear? Why can the fighting, the antagonism and the feasibility of energy not dissipate? It is because you are setting the foundation, the very premise of how you are choosing to exist and live with each other based on – you can’t have it, I do or I don’t have it you do, and then the envy then rises up. The anger then takes over. The energy of shame and hopelessness that I will never have that is reigning supreme.

You cannot fix what you have established on this planet by taking a system that you have established for eons and say, “Let’s try to make it more equitable.” No, dear friends, you cannot take an old, tired, non-astute, non-working system and fix it to make it work. It still includes energies that are dark, energies that are heavy and energies that say you are limited as beings. You accept that, you willingly say, “All right, I’ll buy that. We are limited so let’s claw and clamor and scramble for whatever it is we can get so we won’t fees as limited as the one next to us or over there or across the planet.” This is how you have decided to live for so long and now you gathered here and others like you on the planet are saying emphatically and with great direction and great sense of peace, “We want another way.” So you must get your focus off the fixing. You must stop looking at what it is that you think you have and say, “Let’s put more power, more energy, more focus, and demand on what we have we will fix.” No, dear friends, what we bring you tonight, what we suggest tonight, is that you take your eyes off it entirely. Stop trying to take what it is that has so fallen into an energy that does not work and try to bandaid it or put it into some sort of energy that you will think; well that’s not so bad. It’s a bit better, isn’t it? You must take your eyes entirely off of an energy that has been predicated on dividing up your emotions, your physicality and your energy of thought and in saying, “This belongs to me and this does not; this belongs to you and this does not.” As long as that is the platform, as long as that is the foundation, you will continually run over and over and over into each other and fight and scramble and try to prove that this is the way it should be – this is yours and this is mine.  

Tolerance

It is not better, dear ones, to act from tolerance in this matter; to say, “Well, I am tolerant. I see that as your way while this is my way and I won’t infringe on yours. I won’t judge it. I won’t point fingers. I won’t try to make you do it my way.” But as long as you keep seeing it as so distinct, as long as you keep looking at it as because of this and that belief or that and this behavior or this and that way of allowing a system to be utilized, we cannot find our link. We cannot find our bridge. We cannot know each other in that way of equanimity and harmony. As long as you keep that up, as long as you allow that to be the foundation do not be proud of yourselves. So do not say, “Yes, this is it. We are finding tolerance and isn’t that grand.” Tolerance, dear friends, is only a small, small step above possessiveness and prejudice and separation. Move beyond the idea that you are here with a goal to not only learn what another is like and then find tolerance of them. That is a path that still is built on the old ways, that still insists that the possessiveness of life, the parceling up and separating out here on this planet what is mine and what is yours is still a goal, is still what we want, is still what we are going after. Tolerance does nothing but replicate, duplicate and continue to perpetuate a system that is not based on love, not based on peace, not based on acceptance.  

So back to you question; how do we do this? How do we make this happen? How can we take such a gargantuan issue that is occurring on this planet among millions and for ages has been the system we have built our systems on? How do we make a change when we are so powerless, when we have so little influence out there in the world for how this can shift and change and move in a direction that is more divine, is more loving, is more cooperative, is more of the One and thus is more divine? How do we do it? You set a task before us that feels impossible, overwhelming and we are unable to take the first step. Yes, dear ones, we recognize your position. We know that as we speak to you, as we come forward with this kind of energy and this kind of exposure you are saying, “Yes, but….” But we also recognize and know with a clear depth and a most important vision that you are up to it and it does not require you having grand, global stance or being grand in your ability to climb the ladder of success in your culture to gain position to be able to say now that I have that position now, perhaps, I can use my influence to change. Have you not noticed that does not work? Are you not struggling now in this very country of yours? Have you not watched other countries where those who are astute rise up that ladder, get to where there is supposedly power and an ability to make change and see it not occur and, in fact, watch it crumble? The factions and the decisiveness that your systems and energies have set up based and predicated on this idea of possessing – this is ours and this is yours – is not going to help you move out of that system no matter how astute, no matter how clear thinking, no matter how deep the one who leads you is.  

You are recognizing this now. You are feeling it the very depths of your bones. You are sensing and realizing that if that is so, if all that you felt required was that there could be others who would take over and have positions of power and thus be able to shift and turn the tide of humanity lives here but just look at your history, dear friends – your recent history and your past, further back history. It has never occurred. Even those you credit with bringing about the capitalism or the socialism or the way of seeing life to be more equitable – even any of those moments that you could historically document and point to – where are they now? Where is a system working where there is a real sense of I look beside you, I love you, I embrace you? I figure out how can we be in this totally together and know that that exchange that we are sharing is keeping us all alive, is keeping us all connected, is keeping us all recognizing there is hope, there is no need of despair. There is joy. There is no need for disconsolation. There is acceptance. There is no need for rejection. You are not there because you have not realized the importance and the power of letting it go; of no longer being invested in every system in every cultural way that you have established on this planet saying, “Let’s follow that because it works.” Perhaps it is controversial, dear friends. Perhaps you will find yourselves angry and rising up in some sort of sense of agitation but we can tell you, you have not created on a global scale a system or a religion or a way of life or anything in your societies that are setting up and paving the way for this kind of unity and collectivity because you still insist on possessiveness to be the core foundation. You still look at how it can be divided into yours and ours, yours and mine.

So, yes, not only do we shine the light on this; we suggest that you begin to look at yourselves. Begin to notice in your day how much force, how much effort you put in that; not only with your actions and who you include in your connections, not only your judgments about what you think of another but then just that fleeting judgment – whether it is articulated and spoken or not – of noticing how that one could not possibly be connected to you, could not find the link to you or you to them. In just that moment and recognition, there you have it. You have focused on this is what separates us and I am now paying attention and I want a different way. The real truth, dear friends, the real fear that you all carry in your hearts is that if you do that then somehow you will lose out. Somehow you will not be secure in knowing who you are. Somehow you might be lumped together with someone you abhor or you certainly don’t like or you perhaps see nothing in common with. Well of course, then, you perpetuate an energy of separation, of non-connectedness, of being unable to find the unified feelings of what the divine is all about. 

This is why you clamor for our energy tonight. This is why you are searching, yearning and asking for how can we hold this truth that you are bringing to us and actually act on it, actually move in a direction that says, “No matter how small an incident, no matter how tiny and mundane it seems as I’m looking at this situation or interacting with this person, I am going to stand back, reflect for a moment, am I doing it from a possessive place or am I doing it from a place that says I want to find the link? I want to act from a place that says I don’t have to follow that old premise anymore.” As you have heard from us before, dear friends, the power of that, the amazing power of that, means that you are changing everything, everything, from the very core. It may not show up in any grandiose, external way. You will not necessarily point to statistics and be able to say, “Oh see, because of this and that we have changed an entire way of doing things in this country or that country or that culture or this one.”  

You may not ever, in your entire lives here in this incarnation, have that proven to you, have it confirmed. But you will have it in energy. You will feel it at the core of your being and you won’t have to prove it. You won’t have to explain to each other, see, see what we are doing. You give up the need for that because you know the power of you just shifting it, you just changing it. By you working not following the old premise of what possessiveness leads to, you have altered the very way humanity can live here. You have said, “I take a step towards what unity and oneness is. I want a loving feel towards my fellow human in a way that I can’t seem to find, that isn’t promoted here, that only comes from expectation of responsibility and because I owe it to her or him.” This is not the way to live as the wondrous beings of light you are, dear friends, and you know it. This is why you gather in such moments as this. 

This is why you attune yourselves to the opportunities that say, “Wait. I want to listen. I want to attune myself to something that is coming not repeating the old ways, not saying yes, yes, we are building on something to get to an ascended place.” We can say unequivocally, with no doubt, the idea that you call, you define, and you name as ascension does not come from the system and way that you are living at this present time because what you know at this present time is that what you are doing is looking at yourselves as separate. You are seeing yourselves as divided by the possessiveness we speak of tonight. No matter how much you do that, no matter how much you give attention, wait, and focus there, you will not find that wondrous awakening to we are all in this together. We are all acting from the Divine Oneness of existence. We are going to show it, move into it, find ourselves living it and not reacting anymore to the old ways.  

To those of you who say, “This is too hard, this is too difficult, this cannot be done. I’m not even sure how I would go about it. I’m not even quite clear in what it is you mean by it” we say to you do not be caught in that. Do not be sitting there forcing yourselves into that digging down thinking, thinking, thinking process of how do I make this happen? Just accept. Just take that what we bring you here tonight is truth and then experiment with it. Let yourselves just say, “I will explore this. I will try it out even though I will fall into the old ways. I will naturally keep going in the way I have been taught.” Of course you will. You are not here to suddenly snap your fingers and be different. But you are here to say, “My truth and my authentic self has the ability to change the course of the human race” and those who are with you in it are with you in it and those who are not are still affected because you have had the courage; you have opened up your hearts and your souls and said, “We want it differently.”  

This, dear friends, begins in your very own beingness. It begins in the very way you reflect on how you are acting each day and who you are with and how it is that you express and experience an exchange of energy. Notice, catch yourselves, be aware of the possessive and when you notice it happening you need not explain to another; oh, I am trying hard not to do that. But if it strikes you that that is what you want to articulate by all means tell them. “I am working hard at dividing my thoughts and my ideas into this possessive way of seeing this is mine and this is yours. I am truly striking out trying to take myself into an entirely different way of relating here.” What is wrong with that? Why can’t another see that you are bringing forth an entirely different view and working on it even though it is difficult? Other times you may have no words and no need for them. You just simply act. You simply come from an inner feeling of; right then and there I would have immediately divided oh, he is like that, she is like that, so this is the way I have to alter myself to respond to him or her. You catch yourself with no words spoken but you instantly shift and say, “I’m going to be open right now, in this moment, to whatever it is they are about, however it is they are speaking, they are connecting, they are sharing, and I’m going to feel myself merge and meld with them.” Even for a second - it requires no more than that. This is the energy, the key and the jewel you have held all along. For so many eons you have wondered how can we change the way we exist? How can we exist the very energy of what it means to be human? How can we find that divine spark that has been told to us, taught to us, embraced by us for so many eons? How can we live from it?

Well here it is, dear friends. You live from it by catching yourself ruled by the possessive in your daily life. Then with that catching you find yourself experimenting and practicing and exploring other ways than that. Then you allow yourself to share it. Then as you share it with others and they feel it from you, so it becomes a wave, so it becomes a course of energy that can’t be stopped. So it begins to propel you just like the waves of the ocean where there is no need for you to control, no need for you to worry where is it going to take me? It will bring you exactly where you were meant to be. It will open up the very holes, the stopped up obstructions that have been such a plague for all of you for so long. Suddenly they are gone – like vapor they are dissipated. Then you realize, ah, I have found the mission I have arrived here for. I can put aside all other ideas and conditions, all other things I have thought I was here for and I can simply focus there. Then, dear ones, we cannot tell you what alacrity, what speed, what lightening kind of energy you will feel instantly. Give yourselves permission to take that walk, to move through that portal to start a real observation, a real awareness of yourselves and notice where the possessiveness constantly intervenes. Then move in a different direction and ask yourself, how do I feel? As that feeling comes over you you will find; I am calmer, I am less concerned, I’m not so worried. I’ll be able to take the next step and the next step having faith and knowing that as I work on this I am bringing forth an energy here that the human being has not felt for eons and eons and eons.  

Then the wonder, the miracle occurs. Then the systems crumble. Then those very kinds of ideals and issues that you find so abhorrent or that you know stand in the way of the collective feeling of sharing the universal life here on this planet evaporates. It is gone. It is gone not because some great numbers rose up, fought it and conquered it but because you, in your own lives, in your own way of seeing yourselves and knowing each other, said, “I am attempting a different way. I will watch what possessiveness does in my day, in my life, and I will choose another way.” The wonder of this, dear friends, is beyond measure. The ability of you to be able to live from this perspective and act on it has always been here but now you are prepared. Now you are ready to say, “I take that step. I willingly move in that direction and I offer myself in the process – in my own individual life with my own situations, scenarios and relationships - and I focus there and I work on letting go of the stranglehold possessiveness has on me.” That is your affirmation every day. That is your declaration to the world. Live it, go by it, and you will find that the miracle occurs and you sense and know that life is forever different here in this plane as a human.

Possessions and Safety

If we don’t have possessions how can we have safety?

You of course recognize that possessions and possessiveness are not necessarily the same. When you live in a material world that has with it all the different material components you are going to maneuver with them - just as you are all here tonight because you moved yourselves into a vehicle that was a possession of yours or someone else’s and allowed yourself to travel and be a part of this gathering. You know, too, that that is nothing more than a part of the process. It doesn’t become the end in itself. This is the difference. You may have possessions and utilize them to find unity. You may have possessions and utilize them to find grace. You may have possessions and use them as bridges and links to the wholeness of life, the collectivity of life, the connection that is so deep and important to you as divine beings of light. It is the intention and the use of those possessions that change the energy of them. So when it comes to safety, if the safety is to say, “I want to do this for mine but I will not stand up for safety for yours” or “I will make sure that there is something about what I have that will bring a security that I am so sorry isn’t available for you”, that kind of energy goes not speak to the wholeness and the collectivity we are speaking of. Every one of you can have shelter, can have a place to live, can have those things that mean something to you – this is a material world.  
Yet you must examine what is it that you do with these things? So often you use them as your identities. You say, “Because I have this and I do this with it, even if safety is the focus, I am distinct. I am removed from you or you are removed from me.” You set up the idea that because of the possessions there is something else here that makes you set apart. As soon as you use any gift of Mother Nature - any gift of this planet, anything that you have constructed and made as humanity and then called it yours - to keep that distinction going, to say, “I need it. It is mine in order to do this, for you or against you”, you are giving yourselves over to an energy that is false. You are promoting then the old pattern and the old way and not letting yourselves find the truth, the real beingness of what it means to step in to an incarnate world, to live in the material. You see yourselves as having set up the whole conquering idea of good and evil - of this is mine, this is yours. I am on the side of right. I am on the side of lightness, so you who are not I must fight. All of that does not promote safety. In fact we would make the case it does the exact opposite. It sets up constant fear, worry, agitation; where will I be harmed next? Who will be the next purveyor of that kind of hurt?

You must recognize that you can utilize the possessiveness of life here and doing so separates and keeps you perpetuating that energy of fight, of holding back, of not finding the link to each other. Or you can say, “Those things, those material parts of my being here, can be vehicles, instruments, and avenues to find the connected, to find the collective. Therein lies real security. Therein lies real safety – not the illusion and the falseness that you have set up because I own this, I have this, I am safer than you. That, dear friends, is not truth. It is an illusion based on an illusion based on an illusion.

Survival

So if we, for eons, have built this whole idea you are describing based on separating ourselves out and then saying we have to these possessions to keep what we have, how do we let go of that when it has actually kept us alive here and allowed us to survive?

Therein lies the question, does it not? What is more important for you here to begin to feel the real truth, the real legacy, the real energy of why humanity even exists? Do you actually believe it is to just survive? Do you actually believe that you, as a sentient life form, are only here to stay in whatever energy will say, “Let us stay here.”? Do you really believe that the very essence of your spirit and soul really cares so much that everything else can go by the wayside but just staying alive and breathing is worth it all? In a moment, of course, many of you might assent and say, “Yes, to be here, to stay alive is so much more important than any condition about being here.” Then others of you say quite the opposite, “Oh no, if that is it, if all we are doing is perpetuating life and that requires us moving in to energies dense and dark, difficult and non-enlightening then I prefer not to be here.” That’s what is happening, dear friends.  

Why do you suppose there are so many leaving the planet and leaving in ways that some you are accustomed with now and some you haven’t even imagined yet? Why do you suppose those many decades ago there were actually huge numbers who left this plane by ways, by instruments, by a vehicle that had never been imagined before – where you harnessed something of a nuclear nature and eradicated the hundreds of thousands of souls simultaneously? Do you actually believe that is because this is just the course of what knowledge and coming together in being possessive is all about? Of course not. The energies of those beings gave themselves over to say, “We need to reflect on this. Is having this life in a possessive way so much more important that we are willing to annihilate with an intention to do so, to hurt, because we know no other way to keep what we have?” Is there no sense that you can look at what you have and then begin to ask, “What really is worth keeping and if it is only worth keeping going through these kinds of actions and having these kinds of intentions and attitudes, do we really want that? Is that how we want to exist – to say we survive in a way of life and a philosophy that we believe in triumphed and so it was worth it?”

Of course there is gain in every action, in every thought and emotion on the planet if you allow it. But so often you take the base, you take the dense, you take the lower emotions that you know in some way are contributing to your survival and say, “Those we honor. Those we hold on to. Those we are going to keep here.” Then, dear friends, you replicate – century after century after century – and you find yourselves still here but suffering and struggling with the very same issues that keep you from knowing your divine selves, that keep you from feeling the light and the love that each of you brings in. This is where you really want to focus. You really want to ask yourselves, “What is it that we can do to change the course of this? How can we move in a direction that says we can be here, we can make choices, and we can be secure in that another will look out for us as we will look out for them and not base it on whether you like them or whether you think they are like you or whether they know and believe things or look like you in a similar way? For so long the possessiveness core and ideal that we have spoken of has determined your actions and has given you the idea that you are somehow keeping yourselves safe. We beg to differ and we know history bears us out.

Abundance

Please talk about the idea of abundance.

Of course, dear friends, again we reflect and ask you to reflect on what you mean by such terms. Many would say abundance is having enough and having what you want and having what is desired and of course that is not the abundance you speak of. Abundance is an energy that says it is limitless here. That there is so much that is a bottomless pit that you can keep dipping in and dipping in and dipping in and find the resources and the connections that will keep you knowing you are part of it all. That you are a part of not only here in this dimension but you are a part of dimensions and worlds you can’t even see, you can’t even imagine. When you recognize that is abundance well then you know that there are so many choices you can make in order to perpetuate that. But when you define abundance in a more literal and limited way, and when you begin to see that abundance is based on what this one or that one feels is enough or feels what they have to have, then you realize once again you are partaking of an illusion. The issue, dear friends, becomes how attached to the illusion are you? Each of you has to ask that and if you ask it honestly you will actually have to face; I hear, I feel, I intuit what they are saying but I still prefer the choice I am making for it allows my feelings, my willfulness, my ego and my sense of what is right to be in balance. It keeps me feeling familiar with what I know.  

We are not judging that, dear friends. We are not standing here drawing a line for you of who is going to leave the illusion and be better and who is going to claim the illusion and be worse. We are just simply saying you have a choice here. You are at the brink of that choice. Many of you now, at the swelling of the energy, are now saying, “We notice it and we are willing to put our time and effort behind it so that we can all feel what it is to be here together and to be here as one – even as we are in a most material, dense world.” That you have not experienced the glory of, certainly in your modern and civilized times. No matter who you point to, who you might say is achieving that, they are beings who have removed themselves from the bulk and the majority of your world. They have had to isolate themselves in order to give up the possessiveness and thus they cannot keep the connection. They cannot feel the wonder of that connection because they are so stuck in removing themselves from the old, tired ways. So, yes, you must begin to reflect on what is abundance for you. It is not too simple a question. It is one that each of you must ask in order to truly see the light of the possessiveness we speak of and where that all leads you.

Purpose of Fear

Is there a purpose to fear?

Of course how we would answer any question of this nature is there is a purpose to every experience under the sun. You know this and have recognized it through many incarnational processes. What we would say, perhaps that expands your thought or your question to another level, is are you going to take whatever the experiences are, the myriad of experiences here in this plane and dimension, and allow yourself to use them as a link – as you have already indicated here tonight – to that which is the truth and is connected to the All, to the One, to what you call God or are you going to take whatever it is and make it be an obstruction, a detour, a pull away, a feeling of not being of that One? So if there is a fear that you have experienced and you transcended through it and you know that that fear has given you such a sense of resounding fortitude and resiliency to go a different way, to move in a different direction, to find the connectivity, the collectivity and the oneness of life, well there you have answered your own question. Fear helped you get there.
