None of This Would Even Survive in Memory

None of This Would Even Survive in Memory

Kathleen has been going over the divine state of awe in her universal law/divine states classes. (1)  I got the experience of awe today.

Prior to today, I could not get it. What is awe? Nothing came to me.

And then this morning, I had one (two actually) of those flashes that Michael told us about that would help guide us:

Archangel Michael: One of the things we do is we also plant the longer view, so that a person who is involved in a highly complex situation — which this is, by the way; because it is not just about money; it is not just about currency; it is about values — in key people we will plant the longer view.

We will inspire, if you wish to use that word, the longer view so that they have, like a flash of lightning, the understanding and all the steps to what can be accomplished many steps out if they simply do A, B, C and D. (2)

In my flash of understanding, I “got” awe. Different outcome using the same process.

***

Before continuing, I want to underline what we just read. Are we as lightworker leaders left to thrash around in deep waters?  No, we are guided. If we allow the process.

I’ve been working on surrendering to the process for years. It isn’t something we usually do immediately unless a car or train is bearing down on us.

A little background to my guidance.  My arthritis is gone, thanks to EES, (3) but I have a hip injury. It’s not susceptible to twice-a-month EES treatments; it’s mechanical. I’m arranging to see a really-competent chiropractor, who is new to me – and nearer.

Meanwhile I’m “being with” the condition. I want to learn as much as I can about how it is for the old and disabled. (4) So I’m observing everything I can.

And one thing I discovered – and this was doubly interesting to me as a historian – was that there was one position I could take and lead a “perfectly-normal” life and that was hunched over. Otherwise I have to use a cane to straighten up.

(I am coming to the flash of understanding!)

OMG. If this were the 15th Century right now – 19th Century even! – I’d be disabled, hunched over.   I had to let that realization sink in.

In the 21st Century, my chiropractor unbends me; end of story.

To walk hunched over like this, in our culture, symbolically represents “the end of life.” (Don’t worry. I’m not going anywhere. I’m a pillar, here till the end. Just experiencing.)

In the 15th Century, they didn’t have pain killers and chiropractors. I might end up hunched over like this because of simple hip pain.

Even though I won’t have the experience of finally leaving the body this lifetime (because we’re ascending), which would allow me to compare my transition with afterlife accounts, I get to experience closer to the end than I would have without the hip pain.

I allow myself to walk hunched over to avoid hip pain….   And in a flash of understanding, I got how much this resembles bowing before a monarch. And of course the monarch for me is the Divine Mother.

This flash of understanding had the power to release me for the space of its duration from any preconceptions I had. I stood there without hindrance, metaphorically bowing (hunched over) before the Mother, at that moment, in all innocence and purity.

Here comes the experience of awe and a second flash of understanding.

When I thought of bowing before the Mother, I got, in another flash, how beyond “honored,” I was at the privilege of speaking to the Divine Mother as often as I was permitted to over the past ten years, grace of Linda.  (5) The full impact of it hit me and I felt awe. Metaphorically my jaw dropped open at the thought of it.

I was awed at the privilege, honor and opportunity it was to ask her profound spiritual questions about her essence (they want no capitals), (6) her relationship with the Father and Child of God, etc., etc. (7) I am awed upon realizing what a privilege I’ve just experienced.

I now know what awe feels like but I also know what guidance and privilege feel like.

***

Experiencing as much as possible of life is important in part because of my – and our – next Ascension assignment around 200 years from now. (8) I wanted to experience all seasons of life for how that would help me next time around.

I’m actually enjoying this season of life, if it weren’t for all the aches and pains. My hormones are no longer raging. I get more from the experience of higher-dimensional love than from anything else in my life.

I don’t have to drive anywhere, see anyone, buy anything: Just draw love up on the inbreath and send it out to the world on the outbreath.

And, if I were to drop the body, which ain’t going to happen, I’d find myself in an Ocean of Love. I predict it’d be the same for you, that none of this would even survive in memory.  (9)

(1) Here is an earlier class on awe:  Kathleen Mary Willis, “Zoom Class Recording — Feb. 9th — Awe, Divine Quality Series,” 

(2) Here is the complete quote because it’s so helpful:

Archangel Michael: One of the things we do is we also plant the longer view, so that a person who is involved in a highly complex situation — which this is, by the way; because it is not just about money; it is not just about currency; it is about values — in key people we will plant the longer view.

We will inspire, if you wish to use that word, the longer view so that they have, like a flash of lightning, the understanding and all the steps to what can be accomplished many steps out if they simply do A, B, C and D.

And then what we do is we create circumstances — again, beyond the number of variables that you can humanly juggle, although there is that part of you that can assist, and does — but we create situations and combinations of energies that then allow that to come to fruition.

So it is akin to laying out the banquet table, knowing it will be a delightful feast — everything is prepared. Now, can we make you eat? No.

But usually — not always, but usually — the inspiration, the vision, the unfoldment that has been planted within is so beautiful and so clear that it is almost like a compulsion on the part of the individual, or in some situations, the group, to proceed in a certain direction.

Steve: When will I eventually have my original dimensionality back? Or do I stay in a lower dimension for the foreseeable future?

Archangel Michael: You will have a choice. As I have said to you, when you complete this mission, you are allowed to have 200 years off. But what you do with that is up to you, dear one! You will certainly have full access to your inter-dimensionality. (Archangel Michael in a personal reading with Steve Beckow through Linda Dillon, Dec. 18, 2012.) (Hereafter AAM.)

S: The next assignment is in the Seventh Dimension?

AAM: You will have a choice of planetary systems. This is just the warm-up for [that] Ascension. It is to bring a further rising of vibrations to those throughout the Universe.

What is Peace?

What is Peace?

By Steve Beckow

Posted on July 2, 2023



In our inquiry into peace, we start with the impossible task of defining it. (1)

Peace enters our experience as a divine state or quality. It’s more than just a feeling.

A feeling happens inside us, but we find ourselves immersed in a divine state – like peace.

I’ve had no luck trying to describe the quality of love or bliss or any other divine state. Instead how I know them is from their impact on me.

Higher-dimensional love has me be social. I want to share my love. It’s natural to want to do that because, at a very deep level, I know that love must flow.  I’ll feel it as it passes through me, up from the heart and out to the world.

Higher-dimensional bliss has me feel insular. I just want to be. I want to let go of all personality, ego, desires. I want for nothing else than to enjoy the bliss. But bliss itself? I have not a word for it.

Abundance, mastery, confidence, the same.

But if you think of it, how would you define vanilla? Chocolate? Coffee? Only in terms of something else – fruity, nutty, etc. Not in terms of themselves.

Higher-dimensional peace has me feel certain, present, rock-solid, stripped of all defenses.  As long as I don’t betray it (and the same can be said for love, I recall), it will be my strong defense.

I feel relaxed. If I were to watch it, I think I’d find that tension in the body eases, allowing for an increase in awareness.

I asked my co-creative partner to give me an experience of peace right now so I can write about it.

Immediately everything emotional and mental began to sssslllooowwww down.  My heartbeat was now steady – no flutters, no sudden gasps for breath.

I have absolutely nothing going on in this space. I knew this space as “purity” in my Xenia experience. Michael commented:

“What you have discovered … is the yearning [for] innocence, [for] the sweetness and, yes, the purity that the Mother has filled you with, with her tsunami [of love].” (2)

It lay underneath all vasanas (or core issues), trauma, upsets, resentments, and judgments.  In reality I experienced myself without all the overburden. And that is all. There I am waiting, underneath all the mental refuse.

My native intelligence can arise here in peace. Fear does not reach here.

Interesting…..

Now I feel joy, tapering into bliss.

This is the space of peace.  Michael said:

“And we do not mean an absence of war. We mean the presence of peace as you [Steve] have been describing it.” (3)

In other words, peace as a higher-dimensional state which has no 3D correlate that I can relate to to find words for!

Peace is a world apart from simply the end of war. We can have brief experiences of it as long as we’re in 3/4D, but a permanent experience awaits Ascension to the higher realms.

Footnotes

(1) Another attempt at describing it can be found in “The Peace that Passeth Understanding” in An Ascension Ethnography at https://goldenageofgaia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/An-Ascension-Ethnography-9.pdf

(2)  Of it Michael said:

“What you have done is you have journeyed to the depths of your soul, to
the depths of your core. …

“And you have discovered, not lack, not criticism, not error, but beauty.
Underneath the dross is the full beauty, the power, the gentleness, the
sweetness of who you are. …

“What you have discovered … is the yearning [for] innocence, [for] the
sweetness and, yes, the purity that the Mother has filled you with, with her
tsunami [of love]. And inside the purity is clarity, is love and so you have
reached a deeper level, a higher level, a broader level of understanding.

“And it is not merely an intellectual understanding. It is heart wisdom.
And, in that, it allows you to proceed in a gentler way, not in a way where
you feel you have your finger in the dam or you are pushing the river the
other way.

“So you are in the early stages of truly, not falling in love, but truly being
not only in love but Being Love.” (Archangel Michael in a personal reading with Steve Beckow through Linda Dillon, Sept. 21, 2018.)

No Thoughts, No Emotions, and No Divine States

No Thoughts, No Emotions, and No Divine States

By Steve Beckow

Posted on March 16, 2023






In my own gradual Ascension journey, I reached the point this morning where I could distinguish between the effects of fear manifesting in my body – namely, the back of my body shivering – and me, who is without thought and emotion.

Even talking about it seems weird because we don’t have this kind of conversation very often: My body is afraid but I’m not. Say what?

I lapsed into financial fear.  Unexpected bills came in and I got rattled.

But only my body reacted; “I” did not react. And the fear soon left me, finding no takers.

This dark night of the soul that I’m in at the moment has parallels with the higher dimensions.

If I were in a state of higher-dimensional love, then no thought of fear could get near me. I’d be like the Michelin Man – insulated from all negative external forces by the unbreachable barrier of my expansive love.

This state is at the other end of the spectrum. I feel very little. And so no negative internal force like fear can find a foothold.

I know I could breathe up love or bliss from my heart and enjoy them. I’m no longer denied entry into the divine states as I was a few days ago.

But I want to spend more time in this space. I feel no rush.

This state of the dark night feels to me like strapping oneself in a rocket ship. And then it takes off.  I want to see where it leads and what comes of it.

It’s been several days now. Most experiences disappear within a few hours. Is this one of the gradual steps up a level that Michael mentioned?

Archangel Michael: Think of how every time you especially enter the transformative love, that is a snap. It is not the full dramatic snap but it is a snap. Each time you are progressing up what you can think of as a level. (1)

OK, so he distinguishes between lesser and greater snaps. Then I’m prepared to say that entering the dark night of the soul (no thoughts, no emotions, and no divine states) was a snap – certainly a lesser snap than leaving one dimension and entering another, but a snap as Michael means it nonetheless.

These articles will be the only record of these events. Given my memory, I may forget the details of them more quickly than I like to say. This article will be the primary source.

Although the memories of it will pass, I think I’m going to be able to keep two things. I feel an increased substantiality and I sense the loss of an earlier core issue of unworthiness. Both of these developments combine to mean that more of me is “here” or “present.”

At Cold Mountain, when someone reached this point after weeks of working out in an encounter group, we’d say that person “arrived.” I have arrived in my life. (2)

Strangely enough, I have the thought that I can shake illness, start to exercise, and get my life back physically. Whatever comes of it, my frame of mind is greatly altered from feeling less than optimal before this experience to feeling much better. I’m shying away from using the word “normal.”

How can one describe things that most of us may never have experienced? (3) What language do I use? What concepts will convey what we’ve never experienced before?

(2) One doesn’t just “arrive” and that’s it.  It’s a state of consciousness and we can (and do) lose it. Thus one can “arrive” again and probably again.

(3) Answer: Use metaphors.
