Loneliness

Leave a reply

TesuqueFallThe pangs of loneliness are very familiar to most of you. Today, the day you call (St) Valentine’s day, is a day of hunger and sadness for many, who, just like, around your Christmas season, have to face a world in which they feel very alone, without close family or friends, or a lover. There is a sense of isolation that is part of the Human condition, for, in truth, when it boils down to it, each one is really alone within their own universe, within the mental and emotional structures of the psyche and the consciousness that has developed around you and colors your world view. So, this underlying reality is heightened many fold, when your world celebrates these times with gifts and flowers, feasts and special ceremonies and with what is supposed to be a joyous gathering with a special someone or a special group of friends or family.

It does not make it easier to understand that loneliness is an endemic state of affairs and is part and parcel of the human condition. Even within the most seemingly loving, harmonious and ideal relationships and family structures, there often lurk hidden components that can grow like a canker in the blood, and suddenly, at some undetermined point, rear their ugly heads as a form of cancer or disease or eruption of dissatisfaction, anger or disaster. For human life is not only a mystery, but is a territory for a journey of growth, and if there were no challenges, no thorns to the rose bush, and always love and light, the lifetime may seem sweet but would not yield growth and spiritual development. There would be little learning, therefore not much advancement for the soul.

SFeRiver1So what is the lesson in the field of loneliness? What is the seed that grows and what is the nature of the plant and the blossoms and the fruit of this condition. Shakespeare has said in King Lear, “The ripeness is all.” There is a deep experience within the feeling of being alone that is accompanied by self blame, self loathing and self denigration. There is a sense unworthiness, of being a victim and of being down on your luck, not a pleasant state of affairs and not an easy experience to combat or contradict if you do not have a powerful practice or strong belief in something like a Higher Power that is loving and embracing and forgiving. It is often in these moments of feeling so isolated, that one can choose to end it all, to take their life and sometimes that of another with them, because the desperation and sense of powerlessness and worthlessness is so great.

There is a need to develop a practice of caring, of community and of cultivating a strong intuition for your friends and neighbors, because a smile, a kind word, a cup of tea or coffee or a walk together can make all the difference in someone’s life. It is vital to develop a practice for yourself in which you grow your faith, in which you undertake to negate the voices of put down in your head, to connect with the body mind and develop a relationship with something creative and life enhancing; to break old patterns, to develop resolve to end habits of addiction that numb the soul and the emotions and allow the presence of demons, be they real or metaphoric, to take over your life. You have been given the power of choice, of decision, of wonder and miracle to allow you to shift these old patterns and remove from yourself the burdens of old worry and struggle that have been placed on your shoulders and accepted by you as yours, unwittingly, when you were too young to know the difference.

We urge you to reach out to someone, to find help and to recognize that there can be a difference between loneliness or isolation and solitude. In solitude, you begin to create a relationship with yourself of love, of admiration, of gratitude and of sovereignty. You become your own best friend, You find things that excite and energize yourself, and you begin to recognize that you have the power, that there are guardians and angels that you can turn to and develop a relationship with, who will steer you in a direction of growth and deeper satisfaction. We want you to know that life is connected, that you are immortal and infinite, that you are a part of a greater whole and that you are indispensable to the greater good of the whole, of the planet and your community and that this feeling of being isolated is a wake up call to change the direction of your life from feeling like a victim to an empowered, sovereign being with the self authority to make healthy decisions. You may need to change the environment in which you live, the people you see, and certainly the attitudes that you have habitually seen your life and the world through, but it must be done, it can be done, and you are the one who must choose. The simple practice of exercise, of walking in Nature, running, swimming, sports, of some kind, will bring a huge shift, because you are engaging your body and your mind and your emotions.

IMG_5218We understand that loneliness is not fun, not pleasant and feels lousy. It can be overcome. Imagine what it would be like for you if someone reached out to you for help, for a kind word, a listening ear, a cup of tea, a little bit of the time of day, as they say. You would not begrudge them. So imagine that you can ask for that, to be heard once in a while. Seek help. Recognize that beneath the skin, everyone is hungry for attention, for love, connection and kindness. You may have had a rough childhood, but you have many shining examples of how people have turned their lives around. Become one of them. Become an example to some kid of how you overcame the sense of loneliness and developed a rich, fertile life, enjoying your alone time as a rewarding experience and having compassion for others. We are angels. We love you and want to help, so reach out to us in prayer. Give your troubles to God or whatever you think of as a Higher Power. You will begin to notice. difference. You will hear our answers. Your life will change.

IMG_4888                    Greetings to you in this early stage of 2018, perhaps your most pivotal year to date. We observe how many changes and cycles many of you are experiencing along your journey in the universe of form. It is with some delight that we watch you as you endeavor to negotiate the rapids and boulders in the river that is flowing with your life energies to bring you closer to the great sea, to the truth of your interconnectedness. For in truth, everything you experience is the result of your attempts at the highest levels to get you to that place of recognition that the journey is about realizing the truth of interconnectedness. The thrust of evolution on your planet right now is taking you deeper and higher and by that we mean, into the worlds of the within as well as the without. You are at the brink of a new world. That is a reality that the sooner you come to terms with, the easier the old reality will fall away and the easier it will be to accept that everything is an extension of your inner state, and that you are being asked to bring the inner state to a higher level of vibration so that you can experience the Oneness, finally and with such conviction and somatic understanding that this evolution is yours and you are deserving of being elevated to the highest expression of Union and you are being prepared for it; and that’s really what all the turmoil and change, challenge and perturbation is all about.

It is essential for you to come back home – to your own body, your very unique, personal entity that is the vessel for your experience on this plane. There is a treasure chest at the end of each experience of pain, of loss, of separation and rage. Everything you experience is part of the now, the now is the only reality. It is the moment, and the vessel of alignment that you are, is needed to be in harmony with your mind, your soul and your experience of self. This is the ark of the covenant, the biggest treasure chest of them all, the covenant between you and Creator, that you  would receive a vehicle through which to express your own creator nature – you were given free will and the power to create. Are these not among  the characteristics of “God” in your mind?. So to create is an aspect of your nature as human beings. Look at what you have created. Look what God has created. If you can bring these into alignment, you can more easily release the old habits and patterns that keep you and your world in a state of disconnection.

Are you not most hungry for connection? This is the greatest quest of your world, in some way. Connection is the language of the heart. Each offense to creation is a cry for connection, to recognize the beauty of the heart that you share with all creation, ALL creation. It is where the healing of your lives and your planet is anchored. It is connection that aligns you with your humanity and with your divinity. You have come here to marry those two and you cannot do it without coming fully into your vehicle, your sanctuary, your temple, your very own flesh and blood, your very own personal body. If you have not incarnated, how can you “ascend”, how can you expect to graduate from the school of hard knocks if you haven’t learned to complete your curriculum? You must fully experience your emotions and your senses in order to be fully present. If you are not present, you can have an “accident”, say all the wrong things, blow up, contract or run away,…… In order to transcend this world’s challenges, you have to have at least taken them on and faced them, in whatever way is appropriate for you. After all, you are a creator and you have free will. This is what differentiates you from all life and all of the inanimate world around you. It is God’s greatest gift and it is continued to express itself through God’s love, which flows through you as the Living spirit, as Prana, Chi, energy, life, love. It is all the foundation of who you are. You are Immortal, Eternal, Infinite and Universal. You come back and forth to this world. This time is an opportunity to finally complete your assignment(s) and then you can go home to from wherever you came or to wherever it is that you are destined to go once you leave this vessel. It is your time. Believe in yourself, not someone or something outside of you , unless it is reflecting your Inner Truth.

Cycles. What has this to do with cycles? Remember that on your planet everything moves in cycles, all phenomena are renewed in some form . There is constant flow and you are never the same conglomerate of ideas, thoughts, atoms and molecules from one moment to another,  to another. You and everything is evolving, becoming something else. So remember that things that are one way now can be a different way in another moment – or year. Let this be THE year for you when you realize that the cycle has come full cycle, that you are ready for a new way of being, transcending your story and applying truth to every aspect of your being, which includes thought and feeling and knowing what it’s like to be in your body fully inhabiting your experience. For, just like the winter ends and the Spring arrives, there is a beautiful sunset awaiting you with every day’s waning of the Sun and the light of the day.

Apply your divine gift of creation and marry to it your free will and follow the path through your sorrows, through your pain and through your anger and when you reach the edges of your perceptions, you will pass through the veil and understand, and take a breath and realize it is all a grand adventure, like your movies, all a creation, an unending, ongoing unfolding of story, of plan, of evolution, and you are on the wave. Take heart, for you are not alone. In this cycle you get to have companions, friends, angels and human beings beside you all the way, for you are not disconnected from us in reality, only in the capacity you have to make that connection with all worlds and all spirits. Or don’t. You always have a choice at some level. Most of what you have chosen so far was unconscious and has been running the show for so long. That cycle now comes to an end and it happens this year, a great gathering of the collaborative energies that are changing the face of the Earth as you know it, as people and creatures and the invisible realms begin to see each other, find each other, get to know each other so you get it for once and for all, that you are connected. Interconnected. The cycle is now. There is magic and miracle, mystery and beauty melding in with this realization and it will not be long that you feel the shift if you have not yet felt it. We are at your service as we hope you will be also at “our” service, for we all serve the Whole.

In love,

“Starting Over Again”, a message from Your Angel Friends

Leave a reply

Starting Over Again

“Starting Over Again” is the subject of today’s talk. It is a very important attitude to develop now; A very important perspective to have an understanding about the possibility of starting over again. And we would like to clarify what that means but for each one who listens or reads or hears this, understanding that you can start again from the beginning, means that everything you have carried, that you no longer want, that you no longer feel, that you no longer want to feel, that you no longer believe and that you no longer regard as your reality – as your story, as having any validity any longer, because you are starting again; with only that which you really want and need from your heart; that which you envisage, intention, that which you call in, that which you love, that which excites you, that which fulfills you and brings you happiness- deep happiness, realization of what you need to cultivate for your body, for your mind, and for your soul. For without any one of these aspects you are not complete. And this is a time of completion, and in order to complete, you must have an idea of what’s next, of what you want, of what you are drawn to and feel, what brings you happiness and joy, must be your focus for you to begin again, for you do not wish to begin again the cycle you have just completed. Within the space of talking, of reaching conclusion, and of being concluded, having completeness about your past – you do not have to even filter out the good and the bad, or consider it, except as history that happened once to somebody, and it is over. And it is inscribed somewhere that this happened, but the charge is no longer there. This is a leap, a great leap fore many, as you are thinking, it is a leap of faith, but faith must be in oneself, and yes, you can have companions in whom you can have faith, because they have showed up before, or show up now. They are part of your support team. They’re the ones who love you the most. They wish for you the best, always the best for yourself and so starting over again means putting yourself first. It means developing self-authority in all areas of your life. It means going within in some form. You may consider it going out to some divinity but we recommend that you consider that when you wish to access divinity, that you go within, for you have the mechanism, right within your heart space and all you need do is put your right hand on your heart and your left on your right or imagine and go there into the heart through the breath. Call in the stillness, call in your angels your guides, your BAs, your MAs your PhDs, call in whatever you need to call in to be present with you now,   in the moment of your connecting to your heart and then wait. For we will speak to you, through you, if you take the time to go there, to pay attention, to be still. This is a very good place to start a new life; to be starting all over again; All you bring to the table now is your excitement, your visions, your direction, your intentions your purpose, your goals, your love, your support, all the things you want, you want for everyone now, but that means you want it for yourself; whatever it is that will help you on your journey and certainly ease and grace, equanimity and peace, and love, acceptance, forgiveness, joy; all these things on the menu that we can name are there for you now in that space of the heart. Being in the space of the heart will generate a field of safety because there is a great power to the electromagnetic field that you exude when you are in that state of being in the heart and being still, by paying attention to the breath, to the feet, to the above and the below, and to begin to cultivate the knowing that you can go into the heart with ease and grace, that you can have, that you can be free, you can have love, you can be safe. Your heart is that place, and it is within you. And whatever you need to do, you need to do, to get to that place and it is up to you to determine what that is; not just for yourself, but for all. Everyone is entitled to their self-authority. Those who are free to pursue this for themselves, are doing so for the world, and they will receive that which they are calling in.

It is a glorious time; there is so much blessing that pours through you, each one of you who listens, who hears, who receives, who reads, for this message is not for the one talking, though it brings him to the same place as you who are hearing; this is the next phase. As you release your first moment of flight as the new butterfly, you are beginning from the start, beginning again, and you have a clean slate now, for you have made an agreement with yourself that this is what you want; you wish to be free, you wish to be happy, you wish to be together and you wish to be alone; you wish to have all your needs met, and beyond; you wish to have your heart’s desire. This is what is at stake, and this is what is now being presented to you by the Universe. It may be a thorny path for some, you may get scratched, and yet, it is only so because there is much work to be done to clear up the old attachments to the past, because you as a soul, as an entity of spirit that is in form, within your BodyBeingMind, there is this recognition, that you can be sovereign. There is an understanding that you are here and that you are ready for these things to be your reality, and you must focus upon them, for at least enough time to recognize that “Yes, I can have this”, this is what I want, and I may not know how, but I am telling the Universe, and I am asking at the same time “this is what I want. Manifest it for me, with me. Let me be in that place where this is my reality, where everything unfolds with ease and grace even the journey through the briar patch. As you connect with your essence, as you begin to recognize the beauty of your own unique being, you will begin to live this life more and more as you do so.

Your Angel Friends.

Breath

Yesterday morning, instead of receiving a personal message, this is what came through with a request to share it, especially in view of the fact that many seem to be experiencing challenges in some area of their lives currently. So enjoy. There is no name attached to it, perhaps it is from one who calls himself “Old Chinese”:

Breath

It is time for Humanity to look within. The human heart carries all the secrets, all the messages that people need to know about themselves, their path in life, who they really are and what they have come here for. The human heart, not some divine, timeless, spiritual space of worship or devotion or adulation, not some priestess or channel or god being, not a guru or a wise mother figure that can shower you with love or give you a hug or a magic touch, but your own human heart. The cells of your heart knew when to start beating before you emerged from your Mother’s womb, before your first breath. They carry the codes, the memories and the lessons; they carry the instructions for who and what you are to be, and have been, and they carry the information of your lineage, personal and collective, of everything it required to assemble stardust and spirit into the unique being that Mother Earth was able to fashion, so that you could be here now in this place and in this time. Those first cells of your heart imparted to every cell of your body and every atom and molecule that makes up your DNA and your cellular structure, the instructions, the direction and the knowledge of how a star being from the distant galaxies, from the Earth’s oceans and dirt was able to form itself into a human being with the genetic make up of your parents and ancestors so that you, yourself, could be.

Your inner world of biology, your inner world of consciousness, of attention, of breath and of focus is your doorway to all the answers you seek, to the why and how of your life, to the feelings that dominate and control you, to the longings and pain, to the aches and losses, to the hunger and misery and suffering you are carrying from your ancestors and to the joy and celebration of freedom, of unity and harmony – to the peace you so long for in your personal life and in what you see around you on this beautiful golden planet that is so unique in the Universe.

The lessons you are learning are only lessons; for even as you are all these wonderful things in the framework of your human biological and mental, intellectual and psychic structure, so you are also the timeless, immortal and universal spirit that inhabits each cell, the infinite eternality of spirit entering form – the great mystery of who you are, the great mystery of All That Is, that you call God, that you see as the divine – as you see, feel and experience as outside of you, as Jesus or Mary or Buddha or some other Great Being that you pray to or put on a pedestal, attach wings to and ask for help or guidance from

Look to your own wings, to your own source of the great mystery, for truly, I tell you, there is no greater mystery than that which dwells in your own cells, in the memory of who you have been, and what you are and who you have determined to become. This mystery that is written in the stars, is inscribed in your very own DNA. Each strand carries untold treasure and story and reality.

Spiral in and then spiral back out and recognize that the center of the spiral, the one doing the spiraling, is who you truly are.

Your breath loves your body. Your body loves your breath. They are inseparable. For those of you who say “yes, we have been told over and over about this thing you are sharing with us about the answers being within, that God or Jesus or Buddha, or whomever we look to as being our great shining light – as being within – as being the answer, but I don’t FEEL it. I don’t KNOW it; it is just a concept, an intellectual exercise” – the breath is the doorway. You cannot enter the kingdom with the mind and you cannot access the heart without the body. They are all intertwined. heartbodymind all exist within the breath. The breath feeds the body, the body feeds the mind, and the heart feeds the brain, which feeds the heart. There is a symbiosis, an interconnectedness that reaches out beyond the physicality to encompass all life, for all life is bodymind and is connected through the in and out of breath – the heart pumping life force, renewing the old, stale energy with the living spirit that animates the fullness of life and allows the brainmind to think and the bodymindbrainheart to create all the wonderful tools and technologies and poetry from words and building blocks of matter. The mystery of who you are is so vast and intricate, it cannot be grasped by the intellect, even in millions of lives, but it can be felt by one heart in, one now moment, for it is also simple and pure and innocent and exists in the imagination, in the child’s curiosity and in the world of play.

Consider the breath for a moment; Like the tide, it flows, it comes and goes; it is never still, always moving in and out, one wave after the other, some big, crashing waves, and then the sucking of the undertow gathering its forces for the next wave and sometimes a gentle swell, and then the water washes the shore and fills the tide-pools and the holes where the clams and mussels breathe. And so too, the breath comes and goes, and as you sit and breathe, and feel, perhaps sadness or anger or frustration with your challenge, with your health or financial or relationship issue, there is an understanding that each breath you take, as you hold that thought with the breath, it must be released with the out-breath, and then the next in-breath is a new one, a different one and you cannot re-breathe the last breath you just released, for it has gone, like a million breaths before it, it came and it went. And there will be another breath in a year’s time that will carry a different thought, a different character, a different feeling, but right now, this breath that we breathe is unique. It exists only in the moment and I can choose to attach whatever thought or feeling I wish to it, and as it becomes complete, I will breathe out and then, there will be another opportunity for another breath, and I can attach to it whatever thought, feeling or moment of attention I please. I have the freedom to breathe my own breath and to feel what I now choose to feel and think, what I now wish and choose to think as I breathe in that breath; and as sure as night follows day and the day follows night, I can watch that breath release, feel the air leave my body and feel the new breath coming in. And who am I? I am the one who breathes, I am the one who watches, who chooses, who thinks and feels, breathing in and releasing out. My existence depends on this action of breathing in and releasing. My body, my brain, my heart, all are partaking of this process and are all feeding each other. My mind is the fluid energy of in and out and watching, feeling, thinking, being. And they are all connected to this great mystery of existence that has some kind of spirit attached to them. And perhaps, when the process stops, there will be nothing, and perhaps that spirit continues without the process. I will find out, or I won’t. It does not matter. Right now, what does matter, is that I am breathing in and out and there is a choice for me as to what thought and emotion I attach to the breath. And it is all within that this process happens. There may be answers within that arise, and when they do, it is that “still small voice” that I now pay attention to.

You have heard the terms “There is only Love” or “there is only God”. Forget about that. These are concepts. There is only breath. As far as you, I, we are concerned, that is the only truth you need. Everything rises and falls within the moments of breath. Life exists in breath.

May the Living Spirit that is within all life be present in each breath you breathe, and bring you peace.
