Special and Important —-> Entitlement

Special and Important —-> Entitlement

I’m just allowing the ideas to flow because … I can’t stop them!

We spend so much of our life recovering from early childhood trauma and we often do it by reinforcing our own propaganda and that of family and friends, that we are somehow special and important.

Then the moment that we start to believe we actually are special and important, a real pain for other people sets in: Entitlement.

Well, if I’m so damn important, then I must be entitled to this or that.

I’m watching my own entitlement come up. But now I’ve changed my vote from the troll under the bridge to loving kindness. (1) That means that now I’m not donning entitlement as if it’s a suit of armor and striding forth among … I guess, the peons of the world.

Hey, isn’t that the cabal’s territory?

So I’m no longer coming from entitlement. That doesn’t mean entitlement doesn’t go off in me. It does. It means, as Jesus through Pamela Kribbe once described so beautifully, (2) that I can now watch entitlement go off as an objective observer and not latch onto it and ride it to my doom.

I do see the linkage between early assurances of specialness and importance and the rise of entitlement.  Interesting.

We have an additional tool. By now we understand how deeply we need to reach within ourselves to actually change our vote on something.

But we’ve been getting more and more practice as the lovelight energies rise. It’s getting easier and easier to change our vote.

So here, now, again, we change our vote on the notions of importance, specialness, and entitlement.

Let’s consider an alternative for those whom won’t change their vote without having an alternative to go to (optional behavior):

***

I’m again in a flow of ideas. There is no way of connecting this thought with the last. It’s just … next.

The Peter Principle warns us that we can be promoted to our level of incompetence. If you took a writer like me and made me manager of a  department full of writers, you would have promoted me to the level of my incompetence. That would be total foolishness. I’m a writer, not a manager.

I have a new “principle” to add to that:

We … alright, alright … I … often take solutions that work at one level and assume they’ll work at larger and larger levels. I keep expanding and applying them until I reach one where they utterly fail. What works at one level may not work at another.

Hitler’s blitzkrieg worked in western Europe with its network of highways, compact distances, and forgiving weather. But when he expanded it to the whole of Russia east of the Volga, the logistics of it escaped him. He envisioned a war of a few weeks duration before the Soviet state crumbled.  In fact the inappropriateness of his blitzkrieg model in Russia led in large part to his final defeat.

Here’s an example from my humble doings. I speedily produce a compilation of articles in perhaps a day. But in pondering the start-up of what promises to be a very large humanitarian organization, this same addiction to speed will not help me. At that level of creation, speed may not be a desirable feature.  It may cause the whole thing to collapse and fail.

If I assumed it was desirable and tried to speed through the creation of an organization, I might produce a train wreck. I learned that preparing for the last Reval false start.  Seeing this resulted in me focusing in, taking things one step at a time, and alleviating my stress.

For me to be able to go with that level of self-control, I must have made the change of vote from troll to loving-kindness. Otherwise – Bah humbug! – the thought of not speeding wouldn’t even occur to me.

(2) The quote is so long that I’ll reproduce it here rather than in the body of the text:

“There is a third way – a third way to experience your own human emotions. The first way was to totally identify with your anger, as in the previous example. The second way was to crowd it out, to suppress it and to condemn it.

“The third way is to allow it – to let it be and to transcend it. That is what consciousness does. The consciousness of which I speak does not judge – it is a state of being.

“It is a way of observation that is at the same time creative. Now, many spiritual traditions have said: be aware of yourself, that is sufficient. But then you wonder: how can that be? How can the mere awareness of myself bring about change in the flow of my emotions?

“You have to realize that consciousness is something very powerful. It is much more than a passive registering of an emotion – consciousness is an intense creative force.

“Now imagine again that something in the outside world evokes a powerful emotion in you – for example, anger. When you deal with it consciously, you observe it fully in yourself. You do nothing about it, while at the same time you keep observing and watching.

“You no longer identify with the anger, you do not lose yourself in it, you just allow the anger to be what it is. This is a state of detachment, but a detachment that takes great strength, because everything you have learned seduces you into being drawn into your moods, inside the emotion of anger or fear. And to make it more complicated, you also get drawn into judgment about that anger or fear.” (Jeshua: The Third Way,” April 20, 2024, at https://goldenageofgaia.com/2024/04/20/jeshua-the-third-way-3/.)

The Way In is the Way Out

The Way In is the Way Out

By Steve Beckow

Posted on April 17, 2024

I received a dressing down two days ago, which was well deserved, which I acknowledged. However, the occasion presented a wonderful opportunity to look at myself and I’ve been doing that ever since.

It’s been very rewarding.

There’s no way I could say what happened without being egregiously self-serving.

I complained at an establishment and got push-back instead.  I was behaving from entitlement.

I decided to really use the occasion to see what it had to teach me.

I heard – and hear – in myself a vocal tone that is and was not right on beam. It was edgy, potentially hostile.  I then recalled that I’m ever on the watch for villains, tracing back to my Dad, the back of whose hand one could never predict.

Never let your guard down, he’d say to me. With him, by age seven, I never did.

You can hear it in my voice. Not like I was aware of it until today.

***

By the law of attraction I drew  someone to me who would mirror me, someone who had as much of a chip on her shoulder as I did.  AND she was the manager (read: Dad, teacher, school principal).

For me, the matter quickly became: How far am I willing to take things? I was not willing to take things any farther. This was not my fight. Not the hill I choose to die on.

But it told me so much about the cycle of conflict, I am down-on-my-knees grateful.

(A) First of all, it showed me that like attracts like. This person facing me was a mirror image of me in some situations.

But it’s never just one universal law that’s operating at a time. It’s all of them.

(B) For instance, the law of karma is operating as well: we reap what we sow; what goes around comes around. I’m meeting my karma, my reflection.

(C) Out of it, I came to see my act as a rescuer and protector. I couldn’t protect Mom when I was 7. I couldn’t save Mom from dying in a housefire when I was 22. Not going to let that one happen again.

I’ve been rescuing and protecting women – and metaphorically chasing firetrucks – ever since.

The rescuing and protecting is neither here nor there.  The Coast Guard does it all the time.  It’s my relationship to what I’m doing that remains unseen, unquestioned.

In common speech we say I’m “run by” a need to rescue and protect.  When triggered, I switch into my resisting, rescuing and protecting persona without blinking an eye. (1)

I could get a job in resisting, rescuing, or protecting. Then I’d be right in alignment with my environment and assignment. Otherwise it’s not a socially productive act.

***

Another thing I noticed was that our bodies after a time mirror our attitude. But I didn’t just get it as a passing idea. I experienced and “got” it.

For example, you can see my skepticism mirrored in my arched left eyebrow. I’m saying, “show me.” Vancouver Sun journalist Alan Fotheringham once said, by age forty, we’re responsible for our own face. You can see large elements of my history in my arched left eyebrow, most visible when I’m listening to someone.

If we’re to understand and escape the cycle of conflict – you and me – we’re going to have to get to know ourselves.

As Sufi sages have said, we don’t become a knower of God (seeming to be out there), until and unless we become a knower of the self/Self (in here).

The way in is the way out.

(1) Remember the silver lining behind a vasana. Now we’re doing what we do automatically; what Werner Erhard called “at effect.” Later, when we see and complete our vasana, we’ll still be left with the skills we gained but we’ll now be, in Werner’s terms, “at cause” with the vasana.

I will still be a rescuer and protector. That has to be part of my mission or I wouldn’t have scripted domestic abuse into my soul contract. But I will now be at cause – that is, at choice with it – rather than being at effect – that is, run by it.

Getting Beyond The Struggle

Getting Beyond The Struggle

by Steve Beckow

Posted on July 27, 2023

 

Over the years, I’ve heard many reasons given for the Reval’s hold-up.

Lightworker entitlement was one consideration.

Archangel Michael: The level of entitlement amongst many [lightworkers] is appalling and I say that very strongly and very clearly.

It is not because you are the chosen people. It is because there is a need and a soul agreement for the fulfilment of the Mother’s Plan, that when the spiritual re-evaluation of enough people, and the commitment to truly change, takes place, then the physical manifestation of those resources come forth. (1)

The dangers of the money being siphoned off to support dictators or buy sophisticated weapons is another:

AAM: As we have said in the past, we do not make funds available to create dictators or for buying weapons of mass destruction or war. … That would be an abomination of the Mother’s Plan.  (2)

I only became aware of the Reval in 2013. By that time, things on the planet had changed dramatically in that we’d opted for a much broader Ascension, which would take more time.

The scope broadened to include billions of people who’d have almost no idea – or none at all – of what we were talking about. The effort became enormous. (3)

We talk about this, up to this point, as if things depended on this issue or that issue. They actually don’t.

Things depend on vibration. The Fifth Dimension and every other dimension exists within a certain frequency band. Residing there is a matter of vibration.

Similarly the dispersal of the Reval funds also depends on vibration, unless of course, as is the case, the economy is about to implode. The Arcturians tell us:

Arcturians: Just as New Earth is a frequency not a place, the dissemination of this money is a frequency, not a time.

And it gets closer because more beings are coming to that frequency. (4)

And closer and closer.

Vibration is impacted by realization. Realization comes about because of awakening. Let’s look at that process.

***

How do you awaken a planet of eight billion people?

What we’ve just seen over the last four years is one way you could do it. You turn upon themselves the schemes of the people who are trying to take over the world and mass murder its citizens.  You speed up their timetable. You sequester their funds. You remove their leadership.

And then you run the scenario substituting white-hat body doubles, clones, and masked actors until a large enough percentage of the people awaken. That’s where we are.

The white hats have determined, allegedly by drawing on space technology, that only a “near-death experience” (NDE) will awaken the planet. And the situation these days seems to be heading, in a very controlled manner, in that direction.

In my opinion, we owe our lives and freedom to the white hats in the militaries of the world who are staging the departure of the deep state from positions of power, at risk of life and limb.

These events are awakening us (A) where few other scenarios I can think of could have and (B) faster than anything else I can think of.

Well, wait a minute. This is only one side of the coin. Here I go, riding two horses again.

***

This is the view from ground level. But simultaneous with this is the Mother sending waves of love to us through her angelic kingdom, through her galactic civilizations, to accomplish the rise of Nova Earth:

Divine Mother: Normally, [Light] would come from me to my realms, to the dominions, to the seraphim, to the archangels, etc., to the masters, to your guardians, and then to you. But that is why each of you is shining like a star with many facets. You are being bombarded by all of us. (5)

Sanat Kumara adds his explanation of the route the energy follows:

Sanat Kumara: Now, throughout the universe, we work with what you think of as creative chaos, to call in all the energy at our disposal. And this is what we have done, directly from the Mother/Father One, to the archangels, to the seraphim, to the angelic realm, to your star brothers and sisters, the entire Company of Heaven.

Everybody has been sending the higher vibrations, the higher frequencies to the planet and to each and every one of you. (6)

Michael reports that these waves of light are speeding things up:

AAM:  The Mother’s gifts of hope and trust are seeping through. So think of it this way. You are being penetrated, saturated, literally, with the Mother’s gifts but meanwhile you’re also rising up. So the combination of all of this is actually speeding things up dramatically. (7)

The Federation of Light describes how this tsunami of love, to use Linda Dillon’s term, is calling us forth:

Federation of Light: Yes, we have spoken of much turmoil and the strength required to ‘rise above it.’ Yet, we have spoken also, of the Energy that is now flowing through in order to assist you in regaining the knowledge of that which you are.

LOVE.

THIS HIGHER VIBRATION OF LOVE THAT YOU ARE MATCHING WITHIN YOUR TRUE SELF IS TO ALLOW YOU TO FEEL A LOVING STRENGTH WITHIN THAT TELLS YOU … THAT YOU HAVE ARRIVED.

THIS IS IT.

The POWER that accompanies this KNOWING stirs the TRUE YOU … the YOU that is no longer distracted by falsehoods, to emerge. (8)

So the view from the heights, so to speak, is that waves of love are seeing us emerge as the powerful beings we are, capable of providing whatever it takes to see the rebirth of Light on Planet Earth.

That’s the view from the ground on how things are going to work and the view from the heavens, so to speak.

***

Because I know of the existence of a Divine Plan and know also the love which awaits us where we’re headed, I can look forward with anticipation to getting beyond the struggle, where many others without that reassurance might feel dread.

Clearly this part of the battle will see angst and some suffering. Keeping our vibrations as high as possible (I recommend, by breathing love up from our hearts and sending it out to the world), I’m convinced, will protect us from the worst of the upheaval, as will calling on our star family for protection.

I repeat the scenario I resonate to:  Black Swan Event —> Emergency Broadcasts —> The Reval during EBS —> Ring of Fire/Wave of Love. (9) That’s how I’d arrange it.

(4)  The Arcturians in a personal reading with Steve Beckow through Sue Lie, July 22, 2014.

Archangel Michael: Until such time as those that are entrusted with money, not just spiritual currency but money, until they are at a point in their spiritual evolution and growth that they can be entrusted with these funds and use them judiciously and wisely for the creation of Nova Earth and not for selfish gain, there would be no point in bestowing them upon anybody. So we have been waiting for this growth in human spirituality.

Steve: Right. Is it what the Arcturians call an increase in vibration?

AAM: Yes, you may call it that. It is of values. It is a heart anchoring. It is the desire not to be acquisitive, not to be selfish, not to acquire wealth for its own sake but to use it for the benefit of all.

And concomitant to that to also use it wisely for the benefit of self and there are so many that have not reached a place of self-worth that they were not ready.

Steve: Are they ready now?

AAM: They are getting there. Yes.  (AAM, Sept. 21, 2015.)

(9) Remember, at Xenia, I watched parts of Frazzeldrip and saw other hideous photographs? I was so depressed afterwards that it took a spiritual experience to jackhammer me out of it. (See An Ascension Ethnography at https://goldenageofgaia.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/An-Ascension-Ethnography-10.pdf. Search on “Xenia.”)

I predict that the Ring of Fire/Wave of Love will be the same kind of jackhammering experience that will free the planet from the gloom of the ten days of broadcast.
