Session
Opening
Charles: [Mark] Hello again friends, this is Charles. It is a pleasure to join in with such a jolly crew to offer my contributions to the thought stream and as you have said, there is so very much on the banquet table to choose to indulge in. I hardly know where to begin but I think it will be with the questions I discern in some of the narratives regarding what steps may be taken by the individual to in effect, bridge the gap between where you see your society and culture today and where you envision the future taking you.
Lesson
I will attempt to make these analogies. For instance, when you come and seek spiritual guidance as you do at this time, you are reaching for the unknown and stretching to be able to grasp those things which you feel may be just outside your reach. You are willing to extend yourselves and come in open-minded sincerity for what you might find into this place of spirit, this place where you perceive you may find answers to your questions which are not readily observable before you in the real world. You are right and correct to come in this direction for such guidance, as you state, because this direction of spirit moves in the direction of truth and certainty and conviction and faith. This is where you find those attributes which make it easier so you can navigate the real world that is in front of you that you are observing.
Vision, Time
As a result of coming to this place of spirit you are learning that this place does not have some of the same restrictions, that is, you may not be restricted so much by the influence of time when you are in a spiritual space. Indeed, that is why you are able to come and get answers which extend beyond your current circumstance; you are in effect stretching the boundaries of your time existence by coming to the spiritual plane. This is how you may be most effective as an individual for once you have fore[seen] a better way, once you have foreseen a higher way, then it is within your capabilities to, as the saying goes, be the change that you can envision; because you have glimpsed it you may become it, you may assume its characteristics and traits and in so doing you traverse time. You travel through this portal of spirit into the realm of potential and possibility and for you having adopted this as truth, the very changes you wish to see, you may be. The very influence you wish to have will be borne out through your example.
Progress, Change
So this desire of the human heart to have a more perfect condition, to undergo the changes necessary to arrive at a better [shore], to pursue ideals which may guide your principles and motivation, these are the tools and the techniques you will use to transition from the place you find yourself to the place you can envision. There is this common phase of “be the change you wish to see,” and truly that is the most powerful thing an individual may do. You may also find yourselves drawn towards other like-minded individuals as you enjoy in the circumstance of this group who would help support your freedom to entertain these visions of grandeur, these ideals that you see out there before you.
This happens to be as well a holiday weekend and the cause for this holiday is the observance of Martin Luther King. Let him stand before you as an example of one who ventured out before his time, who traveled beyond the restriction that he found himself imposed under and ventured into a higher realm allowing himself to capture and envision the truth that lay in the future and bring it back to the people of his time and say that he had a dream, he saw a vision, and that it was this way and that it would become this way. In so doing, he gave all those who followed him this vision to build and latch onto and create and join with him in the journey that he took to foresee this vision and foretaste it in time.
Likewise you can be these messengers just as he was, messengers of a new and higher way that you can envision and see, that you pursue and seek as in this format we share and the creation thereof which is a manifestation of your desire to reach into this dimension and to use it as a means of transport to a higher realm that you can allow yourself to embrace.
Thank you for this chance to jump into the conversation. It is always my pleasure to grab a couple of these threads which have been woven into the tapestry and attempt to bring them together and tie up some loose ends. I now step back to allow for the influence of others in this realm, thank you.
Expression, Persecution
Michael: [Henry] Greetings this morning my friends, it is I, your friend Michael, here this morning to share a few words in response to the overwhelming discussion this morning, to point out that the notion of narrative prose and poetry of life, the ability of one person to see a universe in a grain of sand and another group of people just to see a handful of sand, is the ability to find that greatness within yourself. People have, since the dawn of man, searched the planet for the richest and most valuable thing. Now during these times of spiritual awakening there is a tremendous search going on for the spiritual gem of reality on this world.
Do not think for one-second that seeing correctly and expressing it will go unfounded by others. There is a tremendous need this day for the poets of this world to express themselves, to show forth the beauty in the commonness of reality, to show the greater spiritual beauty which overshadows all earthly transgression, to see the greatness of a thought against the power of a decision and to see the heart of indecision open to the consciousness of compassion. I myself can relate to the singular walk in this world of the person with a vision for a greater humanity. I know all too well what it is like to be silenced for what you truly believe and express.
Though I was not the only person to have shown this on your world, the power is within each one of you to walk this path, to sow seeds of righteousness and beauty in a fertile but unproductive soil. No matter how many weeds grow up, it can never choke out the vital grain which has been sown and which people seek for nourishment. Just because the garden is overrun by grass doesn’t mean that you can live on it. Just as you have searched within your soul for the meaning for your own lives, you give hope and courage to others that first, life does have a meaning, that it is real, that it can be found, that there are ways to begin to trust what you feel is welling up inside of you as a time when you must give these thoughts expression, expression in the lives that you live, the lives that you lead, the friendships that you nurture, the people whom you smile to meet.
I have all the confidence in the world in all of you to move into a greater sense of awareness, that though in your time, the fullness of greatness may not be achieved but the foundations of greatness have been laid. I don’t have to tell you what season you are in, you all have observed all too well what season you are in and where you are at, what is your play in this fight for righteousness. I too know this struggle yet do not become burdened by the severity of the situation but become grateful for the situation that has produced the kind of people you have become.
Goodness, Persistence
Goodness is not born from ease, goodness is borne through a persistence to show forth something that is missing. It is like the world is a paint by number portrait and your task is to pick a section and put color to it, give it the meaning it deserves. This is the tapestry of your lives for you are all being woven into a mass movement of mankind. You do have control of the design which you display. You all have control of the color of your thread. You all have been gathered from the hair of life into a strong thread spun within the looms of heaven. You who have given evidence to the greatness within, go forth, show your true colors. Just because the world has become black and white does not mean that the spirit has been drained from you.
So my children, go forth in peace with my love, my blessing and my companionship for I am in the midst of you all. I am the battle cry for peace and righteousness and you are my true colors. We continually embrace you in our arms of love. Go forth and know that your task, though great it may be, one day will shine in all of its glory, thank you. Have a good week.
Correcting Time
Light: [Cathy] I am here to add to the conversation. In the process of reconstruction there is always the period of de-construction of the existing, to make way for the new. We are indeed in a period of reconstruction on this world. In the past our world has operated on principles of self-interest and greed. We now see that this path must be changed to bring the planet into alignment with universe principles. The Father’s plan has been brought forward to bring correction to this time of rebellion and confusion. It is proceeding most admirably as intended.
In this process will be a period of dismantling the structured institutions that were built upon greed and manipulation of the freewill of individuals. In place of these old institutions will be a framework based upon truth, beauty, and goodness. The original pattern will be dusted off and polished to show its strength and viability. This will show a new path for individuals to move into the intended era of Light and Life. Together we can shine our light on the path and draw others to a new vision. This is a most exciting possibility for individual action and group cooperation to move the planet in a path toward a new type of living with each other. Remember your ability to focus the light and concentrate the light as we move together to bring this new pattern into the world’s consciousness. I will always be with you in this effort.
