Q: Could you explain how relevant the predictions of Nostradamus are in life today?
M:The being being called Nostradamus spoke in a cryptic way, because of threats to his security from the Inquisition. He was also cryptic because there were many people who could not intelligently understand what he was saying.
From your modern perspective to properly understand what he was saying requires a certain transmutation of mind in order to pierce the veil that Nostradamus created. Many people have offered translations of his work but it does require a being who can really attune to Nostradamus.
This is an important question because it is dealing with a period of long ago that was projecting information into the future, but it was interpreted and read by the mind of the time. Now when you are looking at predictions and future potential you do not have only one factor at play. There is the continuous growing consciousness of the human family and those ones helping the human family to evolve.
Now this evolution is not predictable because there are times of involution and times of evolution. So it is not possible for one person to predict exactly the future which is why the readings have to be cryptic and actually a lot more fluid. So it cannot be looked at as black and white because it has to be read in the language of possibility and potential.
What has happened is that with the capacity that you have of great understanding of what constitutes physical life, that some of the ability to relate to the symbolical world has been lost and also misunderstood. So this means that you end up with a black and white picture that says things are going to be a certain way.
But there are always potential variations and the ancients always knew that. It is only the more recent understanding that actually flattens the depths of what the seer brings. Seers communicate via other seers. Unless you are a seer yourself and enter the seership you will not understand the fullness of the transmission that is given.
Because people decode and interpret they have to use the mind, but of course they are using the mind of today not the mind of then. The mind of then although it knew something of the evolution it did not know the full evolution of present times.
In your time there are a few people with the gift of seership although it is less and less, but their seership is actually more valid because they have a spark of profound understanding. Whereas those ones who are trying to decode ancient manuscripts have a twofold job: one is to bring those manuscripts into today’s understanding and two, the person has to go into the ancient vision. Unfortunately the understanding has become somewhat ‘flat’. So rest assured that some of those definite prophecies are not really accurate, but nevertheless this is a call to attention for the caring of the planet.
You need to pay attention to the fact that these are particular times of very great influx, although having said that, there have always been particular times and sometimes extreme times but these are cyclical. So you as human family are on a cycle and you have the potential to pull together more potential of understanding, light and for transformation.
However let’s assume for a moment that some of the elements of these prophecies are correct. So if you are reading something that presents a terrifying prediction of possibilities do remember that the reaction of all your minds produces an effect. If it puts you in a place of fear then with the fear potentially all sorts of evil can come in, and that is simply brought by the fearfulness. Instead you have to cultivate steadiness of presence so that you become like the still centre in the eye of the storm.
This is what we recommend to you if you are concerned about some aspects of planetary evolution that means that the planet does not wish to continue its experiment with the human family. But if this happens it only means the planet does not wish to continue the experiment with the physical form, but you are quite a lot more than that. You are souls, infinite, eternal beings.
Q: I live in an appartment which has faulty heating. I am afraid if I complain the landlord will kick me out but I have been so cold this winter I must do something.
Munjiji: it is a matter of wisdom and how wonderful life presents such a specific situation. Clearly this is a tricky situation that you need to understand deeply, therefore ask yourself the question: what do I value most? Do you value the apartment and its convenience etc. or do you value standing up to the landlord and saying this is not acceptable? If you are clear that you can lose your place then you know your position but the complexity is when you are posed with a situation that you want to go exactly as you want it to go. So you want to change the landlord so that he is not bullying you and you also want him to do the work that is necessary without him asking you to leave.
Wouldn’t it be more exciting to think that you are still in charge of your life and existence and it is not in his hands so much that you are under threat or risking losing your home? Instead it is your discrimination and your choice to operate around the ignorance of individuals that operate in that way. So you have to say clearly that his behaviour is unacceptable but in doing that you may lose your occupation of the apartment but you’re ready for that because you feel so congruent about this truth.
Q: I feel I’m losing my dignity. However I have complained to the local authority about this. However I feel I’m being pushed through life.
M: Life always pushes!
Q: but I am wondering if the lesson for me is to just accept the situation of no heating for over two weeks and surrender?
M: surrendering to a landlord is not a good idea! It’s a bit of a joke but sincerely it is a beautiful question because you all do it very often you just surrender to the lost cause. Obviously this landlord in his capacity to maintain an apartment is a lost cause. Clearly he is unable to do anything and although we can look at this with humour it is very unpleasant to be in a cold environment.
Now what is your dignity asking? Is it asking you to set some limitations on the situation or is everything really being moved by your fear? If everything is moved by your fear you are surrendering to the landlord’s will. You need either dignity or fear, there is no room for both as they do not get on together!
Dignity calls for taking risks and operating in accordance with what you respect and value. Really what the other person is doing is relative. You need to act in accordance with your integrity and what you value and also identify the trembling element that makes you feel smaller, that makes you ineffective; that is the fear. As we said at the beginning you may want it as you want it but there is another person involved and human beings are complicated. Your landlord is not going to do what you expect because maybe he’s never done it before and he’s not going to do it now. So in whatever way you interact with him and whatever decision you take you have to take into account that you can operate with dignity if you are willing to risk it all. To lose the apartment. But if you’re not able to do this we are not suggesting that you invite a risk that you’re not capable to do that’s why we are asking: what is your integrity? If you feel that you cannot face the risk then the only thing to do is to soldier on and battle with it and make plans to either make the best of the situation or to move on. The key element here is that what usually stops people leaving a situation is the hope that it will get better without making strong changes. So there is always the hope that the other person will change and suddenly become very caring and sorting out everything, but that does not happen. So you have to look straight at what the situation is because then it is less complicated.
Fear Weakens Intention
If you act from the position of the fear of losing something then it will weaken you, it is inevitable. As soon as there is fear there is a weakening of your intention. It’s a law. Once you are clear that you’re standing in your dignity and that you are congruent with that watch out for the fear which makes you only act halfway so that you’re neither here nor there, then you’re not staying with integrity. This is because you are fearing an outcome that is coming anyway. So you see how blinding fear is.
Fear Fosters Victimisation
Often it paralyses people for fearing an outcome that is coming anyway. If they could see through their fear they could change it and not be a victim because fear fosters victimisation. Don’t give in to fear. This is a fine dilemma to strengthen your spiritual muscle. It is giving you a kind of puzzle, one of those cubes, to unravel which you could call the impossible landlord and no matter which part of the puzzle you pull it seems to affect another part that doesn’t work properly, it’s like a game isn’t it.
Once you are clear you’re ready for anything and in any case there are always other possibilities. Believe in yourself, believe in your integrity and other opportunities. Don’t look at what the landlord is doing instead look at what you are doing. Redirect your gaze and strengthen your way of operating.
Editor’s note: the questioner sent us this update :
Dear Richard and Letizia,
Can You Share Different Tastes?
You are on a planet that moves towards harmony through the karmic imprint of disharmony. This may sound a little strange but you are working with polarities and this creates a battlefield more often than not. Through friction and contrast is the possibility to grow and expand. Sometimes you have to stay in the conflict in order for the solution to arise. Simply trying to smooth things over will not produce anything substantial. The journey to harmony via conflict is a specific journey to humans and sometimes conflict is the only way for growth to happen. You have to look upon it as the potential for fresh development. Conflict can be used as a stepping stone and is not always a mistake. Feelings are wounded in conflict but actually that allows more heart to come in. Opening the heart is good because a closed heart makes life very tight, very dry and does not respond to the knocking your soul is making on the door of your heart.
Karmic Imbalance
Often when people are drawn into relationships it is because of karma from a past life. These are the real soul mates and depending on the karma can present quite a challenge. Although you may have been together in past lives there were other lives when you were apart. Your intellects in this life may have developed to a point where you don’t recognise each other.
In a relationship there may be a karmic imbalance from a past life, so in this life the purpose is to once again balance the karma. This will continue over lifetimes until it is achieved. It may not be possible to achieve the required balance all in one lifetime but what is achieved is never lost.
Picking and Choosing Partner’s Emotions
What you may not realise is that the way you relate to one another and how you see into one another is through the emotional body. When you are sharing the same environment and living together it is very difficult to pick and choose which emotions of your partner you can accept. You can only do this by using the higher mind but this is very difficult because the link is emotional.
Your emotional body moves very quickly to link and the only way to undo it is through pain; disentangling from somebody else’s emotional body is a very painful thing. Some people though manage to do this through illness and others do it through bringing the element of fire by disagreements and fights and so by doing that they are going internally emotionally and it cuts the energy.
It is Going to Burn You
Nowadays if you are not aligned with your truth in a relationship it is going to burn you. We are sorry to say that but it is the truth. There is no longer the time in your lives to do anything else than to shine your light clearly. It is going to be painful for some although it doesn’t have to be; but the way the emotional body works is through some kind of pain. If you do not wish to inflict emotional pain on somebody else because you would rather inflict it on yourself that’s not a good idea either. If you do that then the emotional link trebles, it’s almost better to be having an argument because at least that way you are taking a stance, you are in your own energetic field.
Sharing the Communal Auric Field
Your emotional body gets so linked with that of your partner that sometimes you cannot see who you really are. Your partner is a being just like you who is also struggling and looking for evolution and love. Your partner will have their own individual karmic circumstances which of course will not be yours.
You have to make a decision as to whether you wish to be with this person and share their communal auric field and make such a decision in full compassion but with full understanding but if your emotional body rules you intensely it is difficult to function from this higher mind perspective. If you can function from the higher mind this will help you to disentangle but when we say higher mind we are talking about a mind which has a luminosity that understands the step you need to take and the other person needs to take. Now if you are simply detached then in fact you are still a little bit involved and not quite in truth because what you have done is to create an emotional shield. This shield will be saying that none of what’s going on really touches me and you are feeling a little bit dead in your feelings or maybe that you do not belong here so although you have signals from the mind that something is askew this is still not really functioning from higher mind. So this is still a trick of the emotional body which says I cannot cope with these feelings so instead I will go into my mind because I feel more comfortable there. So in fact you’ve gone into your lower mind rather than your higher mind because you’re feeling that you are above it all. But in fact you’re not above it all because you are still in pain which is a signal that you have not relinquished that emotional link.
Relationships are very important these days because they really show you where you are and what you are about and the last thing you want to do is a disservice to yourself and being that which you really are.
Relationships are always about obtaining a balance within the polarities of the relationship. Observing this balance will tell you how to proceed in the unfoldment of your relationship together, what things you are looking at and what you are not looking at. The relationship is weighed on the scales of truth.
There comes a time when as a couple you have to look at how things are unfolding and whether this is likely to produce the relationship you wish to have in the future. You have to look at what this marriage is progressing towards and you ask for help that is most illuminating for both of you.
It is no good looking at these things unless you also have in you the will to be decisive. If you’re not ready for decisions do not even begin to do that. You have to have the strength to create the relationship that you are imagining.
Do You Wish to Create a Revolution in Your Life?
If you feel your present relationship is rather generic in the sense of love and at the same time you do not have the strength to change anything there is actually nothing wrong in accepting your present situation. You really are free to accept a situation which is not quite to your liking but nevertheless brings you enough fulfilment that you do not wish to create a revolution in your life.
Truthfulness is needed to progress and if you have a enough honesty to say I cannot face the truth then you have to stay as you are. In this particular time it is really an opportunity to wake up to the truth of who you really are. We have said before that these are years of fire and this fire burns the dross to reveal the truth about you and your situation.
Look at Your Original Choices
Now this may say sound rather radical but it’s not about improving your relationship. Of course a lot of little things you can improve, but these are all surface management of the situation. Originally you made certain choices that are deep inside and this is what you have to look at. What is it that I’m really standing for? When you come to a place of less compromise with yourself that is the beginning of the healing of a relationship which can include it’s finishing. More compromise means more confusion. We are not talking about breaking up relationships when we say less compromise we are talking about the truth that you tell yourself. When you are in a relationship your truth and your partner’s truth are different yet you inhabit the same space. Do not fall into the trap of expecting perfection from your relationship. Relating is not about losing your own inner compass so that you do not know who you are. Souls can be lost in this type of interaction and it can take quite a while until they wake to their own light.
Dream not Based on Truth
It can take many incarnations before you overcome the pull of another’s presence and finally identify with your own light instead of someone else’s. If you are lost in a relationship then you are losing some of your light and you don’t know how to recognise that and that’s when it is dangerous.
The emotions are often a response to the mind having a dream about a relationship that is not based on truth.
Ask these questions of your self about the relationship:
1) what is it that our relationship needs right now as a unit?
2) what do I need as an individual?
3) what does my partner need as an individual?
(The individual needs its own expression and expansion)
4) if you were not in this relationship where would you be: physically, emotionally and spiritually?
The reason why we are asking question (4) is it is good to imagine yourself and then to compare that with where you actually are. By doing this you can then tell yourself the truth about the situation.
These questions require tremendous honesty. Do not be scared of the answers.
Of course whatever decision you make in a relationship can produce a conflict in you or your partner or in both. So this is not a way to measure it.
Sometimes you have to walk into a conflict because there is no other way. But a betrayal of hearts direction that is different so stay close to your truth. Ask your heart that question and see how you feel with the answer that you gave and if you feel relaxed then that is producing an opening in you so that you can go forward. There will be instances when it is clear that to leave is the only way to find balance and sanity.
If you are now beginning to have a better understanding of your nature and then go against that as we have said before these are years of fire and the truth will emerge. Right now it is better to look at what is truthful rather than bending toward what is not truthful.
Question: When I was young I was in a choir and it gave me my first glimpse of divinity but not in a religious sense, it just opened my heart. Now many years later I am looking for that again and it is happening with all kinds of music. How can I deepen this?
Munjiji: your helpers and guides are telling us this is your special key, the musical key. Each one of you has your own special key to the divine or maybe several keys. These keys enable the heart to access the soul level and although each one of you has these keys many of you find it very difficult to locate them. They are situated in the heart. You know these keys exist which is why you continue to search for them until they are found.
In the case of singing this also connects you with the breath and the breath gives you access to something that is specifically yours. This connection with the breath will mean something different to each one of you and of course there are specific techniques to do with the breath. The state that you access opens the door to joy love and union.
Heaven on Earth
With the simplicity of singing, with that spontaneous opening of breath and heart the key becomes immediately visible and naturally your soul holds an open door to an experience of the divine. You can transcend the present time into timeless. This is something that should not be pursued rigourously but instead allow it to unfold naturally which is what you’re doing with your singing. Again you will experience that oneness with the whole of life and by simply doing it in this apparently nonstructured way it is brought into daily life. So when you are in your level of expansion with the divine to the next moment in your so-called ordinariness of action with life then that blending truly takes place. People who have been working on spiritual development for lifetimes can now bring it into the everyday life and it is no longer a question of having to go somewhere to be spiritual. In fact it happens when you are singing and you are simply tuning in. So allow that tuning in without looking for it and in doing that the mundane is infused more and more until there is no separation and this becomes heaven on earth.
The Mind has Become Very Skillful at Betraying Its True Purpose
All of you are here to bring heaven on earth. You have all been working on this for countless lifetimes but sometimes in this life you are working so hard on it that it actually feels as if you have lost it. In fact it is reappearing according to your unique key. You are all bringers of truth and the highest truth you can bring is your realisation. At present you will have glimpses of this realisation but don’t try to grab it because this will set up a pattern which will actually obstruct it, be patient and allow it to establish itself. Just hold onto the key and allow it to permeate you and gradually you will imprint everything and everybody around you with light. So that is a very natural way. Just ask to have the courage to hold it when it comes. But beware of the mind because nowadays the mind has become very skillful at betraying its true purpose. So that’s why you allow this process to arise naturally and spontaneously. But know that you are fullness and there is nothing missing in you and nothing to be achieved
Does anyone have any questions?
Question: I am reading about George Harrison of The Beatles, a book* that focuses on his spiritual life as well as his music. He tried to awaken people’s spiritual side through his music but clearly he was in a struggle with own his demons. I am fascinated by his life and it is drawing me closer to the divine but maybe vicariously. But for me this seems like one of those keys you mentioned.
Munjiji: Correct and it is so beautiful because this particular key that you are using is assisting you in not looking for perfection which could be another trick of the mind: “I have to be this perfect being, this fully realised being with no disturbances or upsets”. So this key helps as you see George Harrison had his demons, he had his struggles but when you function from the fullness you do know that you will be coming back to it. It is because there is that knowing and he knew that he had touched something and again and again it’s been touched and you can touch it. It’s not actually vicariously because you touch it because you believe he touched it. It is as if he is reminding you of your fullness and he is reminding you of your fullness through the fact that the fullness is untouched by the demons.
Of course on their own level the demons need to be addressed. But the two operate on almost two different wavelengths so you do not need to look for perfection but you need to ascertain those demons and know where they are.
Q: so what I need to do is remove those demons those negative aspects from my mind to allow the light of divinity to shine through?
Munjiji: not exactly because on the physical level you have this law that to every action is an equal and opposite reaction which is known as Newtons Third Law of Motion. So everything creates a ripple. Now when you are speaking about mind you are speaking about something that is subtle but also rather coarse. This talk of demons is a rather generic word so we need to be more specific. So the general outlook would be that you have spotted a particular negative tendency and you just look at it, look at it, look at it rather than you removing it which will create ripples. Now this approach is a state of mind so there is not so much doing in that true action. So at that point in that state of mind the so-called demon recedes without ripple and this is the important point. The consciousness, the piercing, the seeing and the including in your own way, the true seeing interacts immediately and illumines the demon and the demon finds this quite uncomfortable and so recedes. If on the other hand you push you create a ripple and from that motion a three times stronger motion will come in and it will come from a side that you’re not expecting.
So you have to be very skillful and throw light on it but not to act but instead ask to be guided and inspired to work with this but do not take the demons head on.
Q: so is it that with my aspiration and focus on the divine that one day I simply see, say my anger in a new light? I have a different perspective and the anger is no longer important in my life and as I don’t give it any attention it simply withers?
Munjiji: Yes exactly, to the landscape of your being it is not so relevant. Over time it becomes less and less relevant until it is irrelevant. Nowadays this is the way to operate in order not to provoke a mind set that will entangle much more than you can imagine. You don’t need to engage in heroic battles with your demons these days. A less complex approach is needed because of the very fact that minds today are very complex. As you are focusing more on your wholeness and who you truly are then a lot of things become rather irrelevant and then you can illuminate the present state of being for yourself and others with that light and love that you have received from that union of understanding.
* Here Comes The Sun by Joshua M. Greene
Munjiji: There are many approaches to the difficulty that you are facing and all have their own value. Your physicians have their own approaches which of course are valuable. We in the invisible world have a slightly different approach.
Intention and Aspiration
With this particular condition you have to bring forward your intention and aspiration to at least reduce it, if not all together to eliminate it. Nobody else can do that for you. This is essential. You need to use this part, that is determined to heal this problem, to call forward your intention and aspiration on a regular basis. So this isn’t using a determination to not eat but instead it is using your determination quite some time before the desire to eat arises.
Offer the Bingeing to the Highest
Find time in your day when you are not in a hurry, preferably at the beginning of the day. You then bring forward your intention and your aspiration to say “I am offering this difficulty to my helpers and my guides”. If you do not have that contact then simply offer it to the highest in yourself by whatever name you wish to call it, it really does not matter. In a sense you are offering it to the one that stands behind you that is listening and asking that it reminds you during the day that you are willing to change this pattern and to improve the condition of your health. Ask: “please assist me today in this aspiration to change and improve my situation.”
Make Practice a Daily Routine
You just say it like that and then you leave it without worrying what the day is going to present. Don’t worry, instead establish this practice as a daily routine and you can use whatever words you wish to express your willingness to change. As you are doing this practice also visualise your heart sending light that expands and offering it as high as you can to your higher self. Just sending it upwards. These are just simple thoughts but they are effective.
Do this practice for five minutes every day. Begin by opening your heart chakra. Just imagine that you are you are expanding and widening the heart centre so you are offering this difficulty to your higher self.
Then you allow your day to unfold but the essential part to all of this is simply doing this practice. What you are doing here is looking to something else to help you that is outside of yourself.
Know that what is happening here is that a part of you who wishes to be healthy is opposed by another part of you that is so used to things being the way they are that this part is saying:” there is no way you are going to change me.”
You Are More than this Condition
The way to change this dynamic is by bringing down another element. What you are bringing down is a recognition that you are more than this condition that you are currently stuck with. Few people can win over this this situation simply by willpower so what you have to do is to make a chink in the subtle level of your being. You have too allow some of the heart energy to rise and pierce this dynamic. Once some of energy of your higher self, which is still you but it is the magnificent you, the you that knows the truth of what it needs, you allow it to come closer to yourself and your willpower will then be nourished by a new and different strength. The strength of the heart needs to come into play because willpower will not work on its own.
A Gap of Choice
Now the next part and this is a difficult part but as you are moving towards the food observe that there is a space, a gap where you can choose: will I pick it up or not. It is small but it is there. Now by doing that prayer, that aspiration, the connection to your higher self and allowing light to come in you are building the possibility to see and perceive more clearly the gap.
At present you are in a stalemate with a part of you that doesn’t want to change so you have to build this triangle of power that includes your will and the power of your higher self.
Mind to Body Command is Potent
This gap that we asked you to see this is giving you the insight that you’re not tied hands and feet to the process of bingeing. Actually there is a part of you that has a little bit of freedom although the time span is brief but there is a choice. You need to work on expanding that span of time when the hand is going towards the food but can then just move back. Watch the hand and command it “go back”. You do not watch your mind and your internal conversation, you actually give an order to the part of your body that is acting on your mind. Why do you do it this way? Quite simply the hand can respond to a direct order whereas if it becomes mind to mind then a battle ensues. The physical body has the capacity to learn much more quickly than the lower mind which has a completely different interaction. It is true that you are a thought that builds the structure of the body and the habits that you carry in your body. But there is also a cellular mind and body on which you can act from the healthy part of your mind and that is the saving bit because mind to mind is a power struggle.
What Can I Offer You that is Not Food?
Later on as you become proficient in this practice when you notice the hand going towards the food you can ask: “how can I provide for you differently, how can I assist you?” Notice what answer you get. What we are giving you here is not a secret formula. All of you have in you this quality of love, all of you have a quality of understanding, all of you have a quality of great power so all of those are there, you just need to wake them up.
Even when you find yourself holding the food you can ask your heart what do you need, what can I offer to soften you that is not food?
More and More of Me and Less and Less of Not Me
Try, see if it works. The more the potency of the heart chakra steps in the more the bingeing can be diminished. With practice the gap will expand and a subtle space will come in which will transform the difficulty. It is a step by step process. It will be a matter of trial and error, but don’t give up. Success and failure are irrelevant just create the gap where you can breathe and you can be yourself and feel I need less and less of this, and more and more of what is me and less and less of what is not me.
Triangle of Power
the more you say ego shouldn’t be there the more you solidify it – the secret is not to treat anything as too substantial
Don’t Look Too Far Ahead
Q: There seem to be many people, strong people who do not normally get anything, with illnesses both prolonged illnesses and unusual illnesses ,is it anything to do with the current time we are living in?
Munjiji: Yes there is an amplification of energy at present.Mother Earth has done this and there is this change of wavelength for the planet. As you are part of the planet it affects you too. It’s like the protective atmosphere of the earth has become thinner and it is registered most strongly on the physical level plus uncomfortable feelings too. This is more than people are used to because there is more weighing on the scale of transformation both in terms of invisible presences coming in and also the fact that you have more human souls on the planet than at any other time. You need to become the star that is at the centre of this vibratory change and hold undiminished to your light whatever is happening.
Whatever is False Needs to be Relinquished
Many of you have been holding things out of your life that you’ve not wanted to deal with but now there’s a big pressure for these things be brought to consciousness, of course this creates some pain and confusion. Whatever is false needs to be relinquished. We have said previously that 2012 would bring a lot of light to bear and reveal truth, this continues. Do not think that because you’re feeling low at this time that this will be a permanent state, instead simply use your will to observe what is happening now and also to let go of old patterns. As you create more space in your life through releasing old patterns this enables you to see your own inner light more and naturally flow into a different quality of being.
If at times the energy that is flowing is made of tears, pain and thorns it is okay because it is flowing. The inner being is observing it with compassion, understanding and inclusion and sees it flowing and it is not congested.
You Chose this Incarnation to Help with Human Evolution
Although all your effort is put into your personal evolution you have to remember that you are also within the collective. At the level of consciousness each one of you is carrying some level of darkness which may not necessarily belong to you individually but does slow you down and that is part of the price of being part of the human family. In this particular incarnation you have committed to the human evolution. You cannot see yourself in isolation because you are affected not only by those close to you but also by the collective psyche. The soul level of the collective human family is struggling to find maturity and it is swinging from something that is quite young and joyous to something that is quite heavy and old. Some of you are having to work harder because others are unable to connect to their own light so some of your work is to absorb some difficulties that don’t actually belong to you and this is what slows you down. Part of your work is to offer some of your spiritual essence to others and in exchange they give you some of their heaviness. By this we mean if you walk into a smoke filled room in order to increase the ventilation by opening a window inevitably some of the smoke will penetrate your clothes and leave a little odour. It is not about deliberately taking the darkness of others. In fact it is an innate quality that human beings do want to help one another. Courageous acts of bravery happen in the moment before you have time to think.
Contentment is the Key to Unfoldment
Over the next three months there is the need for greater adjustments because of a greater influx of planetary energies which are piercing the body of Mother Earth quite vibrantly and that can turn in various ways, positively or not. There are clouds which require a concentration of goodwill and good intentions. It is not good to look far into the future. It is better to stay contented with what you have at present. That contentment will give you the energy to move forward. Contentment is the key to unfoldment.
Q: I saw a review of 2012 and it was a hideous catelogue of war, disaster and greed. Every year is the same. How can we help?
M: There is a twofold level here. Mother Earth has offered you the opportunity to transform the physicality but have you actually used this opportunity wisely? What is not transformed through the human presence Mother Earth will know in her own time how to transform it. However it is not all up to you, you’re not the final solution to the existence of Mother Earth but merely one aspect.
You Can Speed Up Earth’s Evolution
Mother Earth or nature is subject to her own laws of evolution that you cannot completely understand or participate in and indeed the earth does not necessarily need you for its own evolution. Certainly you are here to assist with Mother Earth’s evolution but if instead you disturb it you will not affect the essence of the planet but you will have missed a chance to collaborate with its evolution. It is not that you are coming into a dark place that has never seen the light but you can assist with speeding up the evolution and indeed your creative input has been helpful but now it has reached a level where it is creating a dissonance with nature.
An Opportunity to Create Paradise
Right now you are draining the resources of the planet although Mother Earth can intrinsically reconfigure herself and create life in new form because energy is never really eliminated. So the format in which you have appeared on the planet and the current format of Mother Earth may not reach the evolutionary level that was hoped for. So you have to look at it that human beings were given an opportunity to create a paradise on the planet a real place of unfoldment, there was a potential but this seems to be receding. For some of you there has been this aspect of touching that place of remembrance of union with all but has that aspect been brought to all the minds of all beings who live here? No.
Truly This is Not the Worst Time
Although you are committed to the Earth’s evolution you are also committed to your own evolution and part of that is happening through your experience on planet Earth. So your experience on this planet is never wasted just because things at present are not looking too hopeful. Truly this is not the worst time; there have been other times when even the word freedom was making a heart tremble because the level of oppression was so complete upon the earth. So you have to consider that there have been advancements although they are not uniform and not on all levels. History cannot be looked at from one single perspective. If you look at things from one point of view there is progress if you look at it from another point of view limitation and if you look at it from another point of view there is freedom and then from yet another point of view it’s restriction. You need to infuse your mind with the capacity to have a wider vista so that you will understand things completely.
Q: The law of physics states that to every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. It seems to me that whatever “good” we do will be matched by the opposite if this law works at all physical levels?
M: yes at the level of the physicality this is true and also to a great extent at the level of mind. However when there is a leap in consciousness then you go beyond that limitation. Individuals can do this leap of consciousness but what about the rest? Until everybody is moving towards that freedom the collective will not experience that level of consciousness. So what do you do if somebody cannot walk at your place? You go slower.
Although you know that you can speed up you, out of your love, are waiting for your fellow human being. The evolution of individuals cannot be forced or induced it has to be gradually achieved.
Express the Resilience of Your Light
You see all beings who incarnate have the aspiration to realise that oneness,that unity but because the mind is so potent it obscures that. In order to help people often you have to bypass their minds so that they experience the reflection of your presence your light. Many of you may feel ineffective and that you are unable to provide somebody else with any solace but in fact you will do it by example by expressing the resilience of your light. You have to wait though because you cannot pull people out of their own minds. In fact that is their freedom because they are free to experience their own limitations and constrictions. So although you have been initiated into a new openness a new way of seeing things other people are still free to have their resistance. Although they are good people they are still relying on the structure presented by their mind and if the mind has created a structure that sees only limitations then that’s what they will experience. So they have difficulty in listening to the still quiet voice within that is offering comfort ongoingly.
What a pleasure it is to be here again in the warmth of each other’s heart. Have you noticed the power of your heart? Possibly you have not noticed as you’ve been busy with your year end activities. Nevertheless you may have noticed the heart gently whispering to you words of encouragement to bring you back to remembrance of eternal joy.
In the Depth of Your Winter You are Looking for Spring in your Heart
From the invisible realm we notice at times of important festivities there is a great openness of hearts but at the same time there is a great friction between the individual minds particularly with people who are close to you, both family and colleagues. We also noticed there is a tension and anxiety regarding the year to come. Yet in the depth of your winter you are looking for the spring in your heart. Truly there is a quality within you that can observe if not understand all the issues that the mind is struggling with.
Never a Smooth Ride through your Mind
To observe your mind imagine you are observing a friend. You can receive the input from other minds in exactly the same way regarding them as close friends or distant friends. But you regard their intervention as something which does not alter any fundamental aspects of who you are. Remember minds always work with a certain dynamism which sometimes is in attunement with you and other times it causes friction. Friction sometimes can reveal something positive so the bad news my friends is that it is never a smooth ride through your mind. Sometimes things in your life become obsolete and often the only way to bring it to your attention is through friction. However if you view this through the goodness of your hearts you will be able to evolve further.
Entangle Your Mind with Other Minds and You Lose Your Freedom
What we are indicating here is a certain amount of distance in viewing all the things in life that impact you. By having this distance you can decide how you want to handle things rather than merely reacting. As you cultivate this distance from your own mind and cultivate more the foundation of the essence of who you are those other minds are receding and less dominant in their effect on you. From this there is more inclusion of the being who is presenting this type of mind.
So attention to that little detail of yourself and that little distance from your mind will enable you be sufficiently distant from other minds so as not to impinge on your freedom. It is vital that you create in yourself a space for you to exist and a space for all other beings to exist even if they are in total contradiction. Sometimes you can compromise and other times you have to simply leave the space. Otherwise if you entangle your mind with other minds you have less freedom to operate.
2013 Freedom will be an Important Issue
2013 is a year which will require this freedom of mind. It is a time when you are liberating your mind under the potent impulses of your essence, your inner light. Please take home with you tonight this concept and reflect on it and develop it in your own way.
Remember you did not take incarnation to become a slave neither to yourself or to others. Remember to give to others the freedom for their own expression. Often this is a very complex issue because when minds are potent they often do not recognise the subtlety of the essence of being neither in themselves or the people they are interacting with. They are so identified with the foreground of their mind, with the daily uses of it, that they forget who they really are. Who you really are is given to you in those glimpses of aloneness and union with all there is.
So when you feel limited by life be it work, relationships or the environment you then have to look to the hypnotic potency in the mind that can hold you and you overcome this by moving to your heart to your essence.
The reason we are saying so much about this is because as you come into this New Year freedom is going to be such an important issue.
The Quality of Fire from 2012 will Continue
Of course it is a year like any other year that will present its own unique difficulties. But it is inviting you to be at ease with yourself because the quality of fire which marks the previous year will continue. It is still a period of great burning of dross and what is unnecessary. Now because of the tightening of some minds to protect value systems that are no longer relevant there is this swinging movement to hold onto old truths and you are surprised that people can still even consider them but this is the seesaw as you are working towards more freedom.
Some Populations will Experience more Limitations
Although we keep using this word freedom unfortunately some populations will experience even more limitations. Freedom is a very high test of evolutionary capacity and it begins with you. It begins with understanding how you can really work with inclusiveness, freedom begins with the widening of your own horizon of how you can include your own brothers and sisters who are working with a more restrictive view because of fear. This existence is a battleground between the forces of fear and those of expression and freedom and you came here to liberate more of that energy of freedom. Your purpose here is to help the liberation of the physical universe because although you took physicality to live in this existence you came with the essence which comprises divine energy/light and it is your purpose to help with the divination of matter. Great teachers like Sri Aurobindo have said this before. How this liberation takes place is up to each one of you and although there is a collective sense it is also an individual sense. It is part of your job to aspire and to witness the evolution of the earth but you may also have to witness the withdrawal. This is a long mission it will not be completed in one lifetime it will not be completed in 20 lifetimes.
You have to remember to have a sense of proportion about the year to come as it is really talking about a spec of dust in the whole fabric of creation and what is vital is that you understand your purpose for being here in its totality.
2013 Keep Including, Keep Expanding
So for this year we want you to reflect on that polarity that is called freedom in relation to what is inhibiting, restricting and closing in. And as you are reflecting on that you will also be reflecting on all the people on this planet who are experiencing limitation, who are oppressed and not experiencing being fully recognised and accepted as a human being entitled to share and to love and not to feel under threat every day for their physical life. Life is an exciting journey so our wish to you for the coming year is to keep including to keep expanding.
