Their Present Leg of the One Same Journey

Their Present Leg of the One Same Journey

If the purpose of life for all of us is enlightenment – the knowledge of who we truly are, resulting in mergence….

If the purpose of creating life for God was that God should meet God in a moment of our enlightenment… (1)

then, if we were to envision our situation, would it not make sense to represent it as a toroidal field, with God at the center?

All of us are birthed from God, as I saw in my vision, (2) and go out into the world of matter (mater, Mother) to learn our true identity.

An ineluctable, sub-tidal thirst, known as a “longing for liberation,” (3) keeps us yearning to return to the One – and on the move. And we find that, as we learn, the hunger to re-unite with God ever grows.

After many lifetimes, if we were 3D humans, we see the utter futility of pursuing sensory pleasures and possessions if what we want is love and bliss. We resolve to seek the bliss of God, to return to God. And we’re aided in this by our guides and celestials at every step we make in that return.

Everything about life is designed to keep us moving onward toward the final re-union. (4) The universal laws, our partnership with our guides and the celestials, our soul contract – everything works to bring us the opportunities we need to unfold our knowledge of ourself, which we discover is God.

***

On this one same journey from God to God, some have left the station before us and are farther ahead; some have left it after us and are farther behind. But all are destined to follow the same basic arc, from God to God.

Sri Ramakrishna used a metaphor to convey the point:

“All will surely realize God. All will be liberated. It may be that some get their meal in the morning, some at noon, and some in the evening; but none will go without food. All, without any exception, will certainly know the real Self.” (5)

Where you were yesterday, I’ll be tomorrow. But today, I’m not there yet.

Where is the place for racial superiority in all this? Where is the place for religious hostility? Where is the place for anything but helping this person before us on their present leg of the one same journey?

***

We often project our ideas of how things should be onto things as they actually are. In this case, we project onto the other person the notion that they should be, say, farther along than they are.

Not so. They’re right where they should be, watched over by their guides, influenced in their choices, etc. They are learning the lessons they chose to learn this lifetime. “Do not disturb.”

The only one we have cosmic responsibility for is ourselves. Our karma is ours alone. I can’t eTransfer it to you or accept eTransfers from you. Only Jacob Marley drags Jacob Marley’s chain around. (6)

Kathleen’s guide Catri’anna once said that the only mistake we humans make is in judging. That’s the action that alters us from being connected to the other person to being disconnected. Given that we make ourselves right for our own appraisals and actions, after judging another, all else is downhill.

My request is that we not judge people who we think are somehow “ignorant” or “asleep,” etc. We were there yesterday – or at least I was … errr…. or was it this morning?

There’s a saying from Oscar Wilde I like: Every saint has a past and every sinner has a future.

Every sinner is a saint in the making and every saint was a sinner at one time. We’re all of us evolving, from God to God, as in the toroidal field. My request is that we show good fellowship along the way.

(1) As the Mother confirms here:

Divine Mother: You are one that, because of your adherence to Truth, likes to go to the Source. That is alright. That is the way it has been designed. [My emphasis]

Steve:  … What is the way it has been designed, Mother? …

I mean, the Source, the One wants to know itself. Is that correct?… And it can’t because it’s everything. So it’s taken the aspect of Yourself and designed a universe in order for us to learn our true identities. The moment of Enlightenment is when God meets God. Is that correct?

Divine Mother: That is correct. … Yes, it is designed this way. (“Divine Mother: Know God but Through Joy,” November 4, 2018 (Oct. 26, 2018.) at https://goldenageofgaia.com/2018/11/04/divine-mother-know-god-but-through-joy/.)

(4) It turns out not to be final, as the Mother makes plain here:

Divine Mother: Now, in this [one same] journey — for some of you it is millennia, for some of you it is eons; it matters not — there is a drive and an understanding, an intellectual and spiritual understanding that your drive is to make the U-turn and to come back Home, to return Home to the Heart of One where you are so welcome until such time as you choose to emanate again. (“Divine Mother: My Desire is that Every Being on the Planet Falls in Love,” October 3, 2014, at http://goldenageofgaia.com/2014/10/03/divine-mother-my-desire-is-that-every-being-on-the-planet-falls-in-love/.) [My emphasis.]

Steve Beckow: Now, Mother, you have just referred to you bringing them back. You’ve just referred to mergence have you not, or union?  And you’re saying that after they return in union, they go back out into the world. Is that correct?

Divine Mother: Yes. If they so choose, yes. Now, is it in the timeline that human beings tend to think of? No. But eventually there is re-emergence. (“The Divine Mother: Each and Every One of You Carries Divine Might, Part 1/2,” June 17, 2013, at http://goldenageofgaia.com/2013/06/the-divine-mother-each-and-every-one-of-you-carries-divine-might-part-12.)

Kingdom Come

Kingdom Come

By Steve Beckow

Posted on June 28, 2023

 

All the world’s religions have an idea of higher dimensionality, if even just a vague idea such as “heaven,” “kingdom come,” or “the afterlife.”

After the vision I had in 1987 – which was wordless – I had to find words to describe the transdimensional realities I’d just seen. (1)  What I’d seen went way beyond the existing models of enlightenment I was familiar with. The dimensional world was just one “isolated” part of it.

My vision did not show me what was happening internally for the little golden star; only the outward stages of its journey.

Always one of the features of the search that I noticed was that it was goal-oriented.

There was a starting place and there was a finishing place.

The starting place was God. And the finishing place was … God.  We travel on a sacred arc from God to God through innumerable lifetimes in a world of matter, mater, Mother.

***

Another feature of what I found: When we move from the starting place to the finish, life gets progressively better.

I expect to find that the biggest leap in improvement is between the 3rd and 5th dimensions.  The improvement lies in the experience of love.

A third feature: No matter what I saw or didn’t see, “I” persisted. I could go to sleep but “I” wakes up when … errr, I … awaken. It’s confusing.

But what’s not confusing is that “I” persist.

I’ve been outside my body. “I” persisted. My body was on hold. Excuse me? What? I said my body did not keep going, like a car without a driver.

That body could be smashed to smithereens and I’ll bet … I’d persist. Not like I’ll test out that theory.

Interesting, isn’t it?

***

The destination turns out to hinge on what we know about this “I.” The whole drama revolves around it. (2)

This was not directly communicated by my vision. My vision only showed a single soul, born from God, going out into the world, as Jesus said, and then realizing itself (God meets God), and returning to the Father.

Returning to the Father, as far as I knew and as far as any enlightened master I ever read knew, was the end of the journey. Period. Full stop.

That was 1987. Since 2011 – and the readings with Michael and the Mother and the radio shows (3) – I’ve learned that the end of my vision is not the end of the story for individuals. The Mother and Michael explain:

Divine Mother: Now, in this journey — for some of you it is millennia, for some of you it is eons; it matters not — there is a drive and an understanding, an intellectual and spiritual understanding that your drive is to make the U-turn and to come back Home, to return Home to the Heart of One where you are so welcome until such time as you choose to emanate again. (4)

Emanate again?

Steve Beckow: Now, Mother, you have just referred to you bringing them back. You’ve just referred to mergence have you not, or union?  And you’re saying that after they return in union, they go back out into the world. Is that correct?

Divine Mother: Yes. If they so choose, yes. Now, is it in the timeline that human beings tend to think of? No. But eventually there is re-emergence. (5)

Michael adds more detail:

Archangel Michael: When you go home, and you can reunite in the Heart of of One, do not think that you go off on another tangent or another journey simply because you feel like it or because you are earning your way back to that linear path. You go back out into the universe as a brilliant spark of pure light!

So you come, you return, you gain not only understanding, wisdom, knowledge – what you can think of as spiritual regeneration – and then, in concert with many, including your guides and guardian angels and, many times, whoever you are going to be working with – for example, myself or Archangel Raphael – you emerge again. (6)

Among the notions of what constitutes “the end,” I prefer the idea that we end up in the lap of Mother/Father One and then, when ready, come back out into the world again.

I’m going to hold this view of reality until I need to let go of it as well. Say, next year.

***

If this lifetime were about enlightenment, which it is not for me, I’d cite St. John of the Cross here:

Without a foothold you must seek Him out-

no face nor form, alone –

tasting there something I dont know

that one may come on randomly. (7)

All my theories will have to go. “Without a foothold you must seek him out.”

Or Lao Tzu:

“The Way is gained by daily loss,

Loss upon loss until

At last comes rest.

“By letting go, it all gets done;

The world is won by those who let it go!

But when you try and try,

The world is then beyond the winning.” (8)

Let go, let go, let go. Even of trying.

Ah well. I’m a servant this lifetime and need to stay conscious of this unreal world.

Sometimes I think the apt mantra for a servant is hold on, hold on, hold on.

The End of the Beginning

The End of the Beginning

Posted by Steve Beckow

Posted on May 13, 2023

We know we come from Mother/Father God through passages like this from Jesus:

“I came forth from the Father, and am come out into the world: again, I leave the world and go to the Father.” (1)

I’ve told you about the vision I was given in 1987 that showed me our journey from God to God. (2)

But we know very little about what happens after we re-unite with Mother/Father God. Is that the end of the story?

Classical enlightenment theory holds that it is. We re-unite and that’s the end. Or it doesn’t comment at all.

But we’ve had access to the Divine Mother herself and her archangels and they have commented.

Let’s look at what they say about our ultimate meeting and future.

Let’s start with Archangel Michael. Here he suggests – much to my surprise – that we could “go Home” after leaving the twelve dimensions:

Steve: What happens after the 12th dimension? Where do humans go? Do they collapse into sheer energy or…

Archangel Michael Yes, they come into sheer energy and return Home. When we say return Home, now some of them upon the way say, “Wait a minute, I would rather be over here.” And of course, that is absolutely acceptable.

Steve: So there is no going into angels, going into archangels, going into this realm… There’s none of that. They go from the 12th dimension Home?

AAM: Yes.

Steve: That just turns our contemporary thinking on its head!

AAM: Oh, you haven’t heard anything yet! We will talk about the evolutionary ladders (as you tend to think of them) and the various choices that are available in terms of that evolutionary ladder.

Steve: Oh please! We’ve got it all wrong down here! Help! Help! Message in a bottle!

AAM: I will send it parcel post and express mail! (3)

In early 2012, he told us that we return but don’t stay. Rather, we re-emerge a brilliant spark of pure light:

Archangel Michael: When you go home – and you can reunite in the Heart of One – do not think that you go off on another tangent or another journey simply because you feel like it or because you are earning your way back on that linear path. You go back out into the universe as a brilliant spark of pure light!

So you come, you return, you gain not only understanding, wisdom, knowledge – what you can think of as spiritual regeneration – and then, in concert with many, including your guides and guardian angels and, many times, whoever you are going to be working with – for example, myself or Archangel Raphael – you emerge again.  (4)

The first time I’m aware of the Mother mentioning that we re-emerge was the next year, 2013:

Steve Beckow: Now, Mother, you have just referred to you bringing them back. You’ve just referred to mergence have you not, or union?  And you’re saying that after they return in union, they go back out into the world. Is that correct?

Divine Mother: Yes. If they so choose, yes. Now, is it in the timeline that human beings tend to think of? No. But eventually there is re-emergence. (5) [My emphasis.]

In 2014 she mentioned it again:

Divine Mother: Now, in this journey — for some of you it is millennia, for some of you it is eons; it matters not — there is a drive and an understanding, an intellectual and spiritual understanding that your drive is to make the U-turn and to come back Home, (6) to return Home to the Heart of One where you are so welcome until such time as you choose to emanate again. (7) [My emphasis.]

In 2015:

Divine Mother: As this transition is completed, including the shift in your structures, then you will continue on.

This is the beginning, not the end. Each of you is infinite and eternal. (8) [My emphasis.]

If I understand the newer picture, we are created, and, following that, we exist eternally from that moment on.

That’s my understanding until the next revelation carries it farther down the road.

Meanwhile, back to the present.

In regards to our Ascension, someone is reminding me of Churchill:  “Now this is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning.”

The Third Dimension was the beginning of self-consciousness and our Ascension will be the end of the beginning.

He continued:

Archangel Michael: But let us suggest to you that, on this journey of what you are thinking of as linear, you have emerged bigger, brighter, clearer, more connected. And that is why you spend your life, very often, in the knowing of certain things, of certain truths. That is why you teach, communicate, heal others, because you have this knowing already within your sphere.

So it is not that you are still trying to go along your path to earn the right to go home. It is much more fluid. (Loc. cit.)
