Moderation is What’s Being Asked of Us

Moderation is What’s Being Asked of Us

St. John of the Cross. Uhhh, not this lifetime for me

If I were totally focused on reunion with God, I’d be abstinent.

But Archangel Michael actually wants me to eat, drink, and be merry, as far as an urban monk can and does go.

Archangel Michael:    You did not come to live as a guru in a western or eastern manner….

Part of your [mission] and part of our recommendation to you is to play, to laugh, to enjoy, to be physical, so that you are anchored in the physical reality – because you are here to be a transition point and to be able to show people how to do both.

If you were completely involved in your full awakening, you in very great likelihood would not be forming a platform with me.  You would be off somewhere in an ashram meditating.

So that is what we have meant.  Ground yourself.  Be human and love the experience of being in form.

SB       OK. Boy. Eat, drink and be merry!

AAM    It is difficult, no?

SB       Yes, it is difficult.  (1)

It’s also important to my mission that I peek into every corner and stay with the group, as he says here:

Archangel Michael: There is much to be said for Everyman, and that is part of the role you play. Yes, you are a pillar. You are an anchor. You’re [a monitor] but you’re also playing the role of Everyman – with curiosity, with exploration, with insight. So our desire is not to separate you from the collective. (2)

So, for all these reasons and more, abstinence is off the table. That leaves moderation. Some teachers have said it isn’t necessary to take a vow of charity or chastity. I actually don’t believe it is, myself. But that’s speaking from the vantage point of 77 years in the midst of an Ascension. Not your normal lifetime.

For me moderation means stopping and moving away from anything that I feel is lowering my vibration by irritating, frustrating, or disgusting me.

As for hankering after enlightenment, all of us here hale from the angelic realm. As such everyone, outside the body, is fully enlightened. You partake of Source energy. (3)

I’d say a lot of my behavior earlier on was careless and thoughtless. While I wasn’t crazy, I wasn’t moderate either. There must be a way of shortening up the time of experimentation and exploration. (Note to self: Find a way.)

Nowadays it’s completely different. Nowadays I’m drawn to what Linda Dillon calls “the blessings and virtues.”  I don’t know exactly why she chose those terms. I’m going to give my own meaning to them and I apologize if it departs.

The blessings are the divine qualities themselves – joy, happiness, bliss, ecstasy, etc. They are truly blessings, as I’m sure you’ll agree after the Ring of Fire or planetary heart opening. (5)

The virtues are the qualities and skills of the individual – courage, moral strength, valor, generosity, etc.

Do these gradually mature and assert themselves in the individual?  Maybe they do. I just wish they’d have matured in me a lot sooner.

So I presume we’re all of us here to laugh, play, and thoroughly enjoy ourselves in the new dimension of life that is gradually and then suddenly emerging. Gaia and the Mother originally created Earth as a playground for her angels.

After Covid, we may have forgotten how to play. The world has gotten so very dark so very recently. And yet we know that the Alliance is standing ready to intervene when the public demands it.

In regards to current affairs, it really is darkest just before dawn.

Arriving in Life

Arriving in Life

Posted on September 2, 2023

Philosopher’s Walk, Kyoto

I find, generally and overall, that my pace is slowing down a mite.  I feel more philosophical, more meditative.

I’ve dropped many bad habits and negative thoughts. Just dropped them, with nothing to replace them. And by doing so I’ve created space.

And in that space I’m feeling more philosophical. In-drawn. Walking very slowly. And feeling very happy doing so, like it’s my preferred speed.

I said that, since June 12 and my awakening to what co-creative partnership meant, (1) seemingly every day some new thing happens. My confidence returns; I feel my Higher Self nearer to me than before; I feel gentle, for perhaps the first time in memory; I’m being cooperative – me, Mr. Stick in the Mud, allowing others to go first, helping out, on and on the changes go.

If I were to watch a movie of my life, I think I’d hardly recognize myself a year from now for the changes that are happening now.

I know where they’re heading. CEO, pipeline, pillar, star family, UN. And, even a year ago, I would have said “I’m not ready.” But I do feel ready now.

---

As an aside, this morning, I realized that what Archangel Gabrielle called “our divine authority” is exactly the realization I had on June 12, that had me be ready for co-creative partnership. (2)

The Self is my divine authority.

I was at that moment (June 12) looking at re-choosing co-creative partnership as a result of realizing what it was, who it was that Archangel Michael was looking for: Someone who could and would follow the discipline of speaking from her or his divine authority, Self, or Higher Self. (3) (Or remain silent.)

---

I even know what feeling ready means. I have two examples (heroes, you might call them) of readiness, determination, and courage that inspire me and help me find it in myself.  (4) I also have the example of my brother and sister-in-law whose generosity so touched me years ago. And my earthly Mother.

But all of these are only to give me the courage to step out. I already know I’m pure and innocent as of Sept. 18, 2018 and Xenia. (5) I already know what I’ll find and what to expect when I choose to emerge. Whenever that is.

So it isn’t that I’m in ignorance. It’s more a fear of leaving the herd, fear of humiliation, fear of being ostracized. Been there; done that a few times.

Emerge or “arrive,” as we’d have said at Cold Mountain. I haven’t arrived in this life yet. I’m still a prisoner of many negative feelings. Not here the way that my heroes were here. … And, like it or not, we are at war.

As we include everyone and exclude no one from the benefits of the upcoming abundance and consciousness shift, we build a universal outlook, founded in love, that will gradually restore decency and harmony to the planet. The Mother has promised it. (6)

We won’t need to achieve “universal love.” The love we’re headed for is already universal. We just need to send it out to the world. Love knows where to go.

We’ll exist in an environment in which no one is left out and nothing more desirable exists than the love we’re already experiencing.

If we’re immersed in that tsunami of love, we too will be “universal,” with “unitive consciousness.” I’ll bet the farm on that.

I know very clearly, Sweet One, as do you, if it is not [in] my Plan, then it will not occur. (The Divine Mother in “Enter the Delegations – Part 2/3,” May 5, 2019, at http://goldenageofgaia.com/2019/05/05/enter-the-delegations-part-2-3/. Reading, April 30, 2019.)

Divine Mother: Make no mistake, Sweet One, Love will win because that has been my Plan always. (Divine Mother in a personal reading with Steve Beckow through Linda Dillon, April 30, 2019.)
