Session
Opening
JONATHAN: [Cathy] I am encouraged by the constancy of the group. You have continued to come together in spirit and push the boundaries of your expectation. The camaraderie has increased along with the affection and growth in spirit. We have explored many paths together and the journey continues. From my current perspective, we have been taking a stroll around the block in preparation for the longer journey. We have a good place for the start of this great adventure.
Lesson
GORMAN: [Henry] Greetings to you my friends, it is I, Gorman. I am here with you in this connected circle of friendship, this circle of energy. Bring in those that are not here into this circle. Bring in those you which to protect, you wish to heal, you just wish to be with and open up the circle to the light, thank you. So why is it that as humans you are so afraid of the truth? This is always an area and topic that is misunderstood by spirit for there is no reference in spirit for fear of the truth because truth is an actuality and like all actualities, they exist in their own time.
It is interesting to notice how humans fear and what they are in fear of. To be afraid of something that is not like you is immature. To be afraid of something that you have no control over is a lack of courage. To be afraid of information and knowledge is cowardly and to be afraid of truth is unspiritual.
As spirit, we are not saying that one should not fear but one should have a certain control over fear by not allowing it to consume an opportunity to do something for yourself. For example, many humans are afraid to find out the truth of their condition, health condition, they put off taking tests because they are afraid of what they might find out. Yet by knowing something and knowing something to be certain, it is easier to put things into motion which can help alleviate a situation from getting worse.
But all humans are hardwired to the deadline. They wait until the absolute time to do something rather than taking the opportunity to do something to alleviate conditions. For most humans, this is part of your testing and part of your growth in understanding more of who you are and who you are becoming. There is such animal fear exhibited by humans in the way in which they fear things which are not like themselves to the point that they think they must eradicate the differences between people. Eradicating inequality and injustice is one thing; you cannot eradicate the differences between people, these are actualities. No matter how strong an attempt spirit makes to assure mankind that most fears are ungrounded, it still becomes necessary for the individual to discover these things on an individual basis.
It is interesting to observe you human animals in your attempts to grow spiritually, to strive for perfection and how variables keep presenting themselves which sabotage your intentions. Two things are going on here. Many times things are being sabotaged to determine if you believe strongly enough in what you are doing and sometimes things just get in the way to make it more difficult for it is in the understanding, the negotiation of difficulty of problems which the greater human understanding acknowledges. It is within this struggle, this constant daily struggle which sharpens mans efforts to come to a greater understanding how to live, how to gain control of who you are rather than letting who you think you are, control you.
You all have a sense of who you think you are but that is constantly changing to reveal who you really are. It may reveal that you are weak in certain areas, it may reveal that you are strong in certain areas. Whatever is revealed, you must be prepared with the possibility of having to deal with issues, with situations that arise. So to fear something is to completely cut it off from your recognition of its reality, of its actuality. You are not communicating properly with it. When things become isolated and cut off from nutrients, from supplies, from conversation, from ideas and thoughts, when things become that secluded because of fear they begin to fester on their own. It is like a ripened fruit put in a bag. You look at it in a couple of days and it is rotten, its life is changed and whatever nutrients or ability that it had to nurture is now past. It is like missed opportunities.
So do not take vital and healthy things, things which are part of living, and fear them, put them away in a dark place so that you can’t see them. Maybe they will go away and you will not have to deal with it. And it is true, you will not have to deal with it until it comes back around again, this time slightly different. It has been altered with time by the fact that you have disregarded the message, what it is trying to tell you or what it is trying to show you. Not all things which are not like you are bad; as a matter of fact, what is bad is the way in which you either use or not use things. It is not necessarily the thing itself.
So ones approach in understanding the network of fear which can potentially shut down all open channels of vitality, of information, of communication, this is an unspiritual practice. There is nothing positive about it. It does not promote growth and this was not what fear was designed for anyway. Fear was designed to actually communicate, it was designed to alert the animal in its base instinctual nature to protect the organism, to protect the animal.
But as animal/humans, sometimes these things which were meant for our ancestors grow out of proportion, not to mention that fears have been used for centuries by some humans to control other humans because it is quite effective. Just because there is a perversion which exists within the human mind does not qualify the human to access, to fall victim to this perversion. A spiritually minded individual seeks to bring these elements under control, consciously with the help of spirit, to safeguard those institutions which being truly human are cherished for their abilities to bring humans together and to elevate them for a higher goal.
In summing this up, it is important to have a daily practice which removes the stranglehold of fear and brings in the neutral and balancing nature of light and consciousness, spiritual acumen. There is a battle going on for your soul and it is not fought with knives and weapons. It is won by consciousness and light, a willingness to go beyond to discover that which is not so obvious at first. My friends, take care to have a good week and may you bring all of your efforts into a peaceful mode and that you grow in the love and the insight that you are discovering. Go in peace, thank you.
Closing
LIGHT: [Cathy] I want to add some thoughts about spreading light. You have become beacons of light energy. You have created a useful tool as the light portal. We could expand the experimentation with this light in extending and directing light with intention. It seems fanciful to some that the light is able to be directed. It is a reality and a possibility. The main obstacle is your full acceptance of the potential. You have developed skills and have built a foundation to support progress.
I have offered support in the past and am always ready to act with you. Much good can be accomplished through directed light and love. It is the action of the universe. It is the will of our Creator. Light and love have been provided for your use. Consider the possibilities, consider the advantages. Together we can bring a force of good to the situations of darkness. Participate, engage, take some small steps in the process. I will support your efforts, I am with you.
