Gabriel
- In order to truly allow joy, you must be in touch
with the value and essence of your being as an individual. This
means you must be free of the plagues of the emotional body
and the trauma that surround that emotional body. You must resolve
and clear the negative feelings that are held in the body that
you are fighting.
This fight, sometimes
conscious and sometimes unconscious, keeps you in a low grade
depression and struggle. You then try to force a state of joy.
You cannot force
a true state of being or an emotional experience. You can pretend
you feel a certain way. You can act it out, but you cannot fool
a true state of being. This only comes from the authentic soul
and essence of who you are.
Your true essence
is a state of joy. This can only be present if serenity has
been achieved. Sereinity comes when you are no longer dependent
upon that which is outside of yourself to determine your well-being
or lack of it.
Fulfillment can only
come in knowing and valuing who you truly are as an individual.
This only happens when you are in touch with all of your feelings,
without judgment and conflict. That emotional connection then
supports your will and your passion.
So we encourage you
to all look at the relationship you have with all of your feelings
- learn to nurture and accept all of your feelings. This acceptance
will create a real sense of meaning and value. You will then
be freer to fulfill a path that expresses, honors and holds
sacred who you are as a self-contained, self-realized individual
in a genuine state of joy.
"As we move
into the higher energies, how will we relate to our family members
and friends who are chosing to stay in the lower vibration?
Will they even be able to 'see' us?"
Gabriel - It may not be easy to see that even asking
this question suggests fear and a place of spiritual superiority
of the ego.
It is not having
someone at the same level of consciousness or ability that determines
whether you are able to communicate with them. If you are truly
at a high level with no judgments and separation, you will no
longer need or require from them what you needed co-dependently
when you were in a more fearful state of cosnciousness.
You will be able
to see and value them for who they truly are, as sacred individuals
on their perfect journey. They will then be allowed to have
that journey on their own path, having their own opinions and
points of view, creating a perfect reality - just as you are.
Just because someone
is not enlightened does not mean that they are not acceptable.
You ask if you they
will be able to see you. Instead, we ask you if you are able
to truly see them? Are you able to see the light that dwells
within them, no matter what they choose or explore? Can you
see the essence of love that they truly are?
If you could see
the love that you are, you would not need to ask the question.
But that is where you are. And it is perfectly fine.
Allow everyone, even
your family to be who they are, as they are, when they are.
Just because they don't think the same way that you think does
not mean that they do not have the same amount of light in potential.
It simply means they are not using it consciously. That is all.
In the eyes of God,
all are equal, treading the path of light in various levels
of experience - all perfect exactly as they are. .
To be able to
stay in the Higher energies do we have to become vegetarians?
Gabriel
- You
do not have to become anything. If you HAVE to become something,
then are forcing where you are. In other words, you are not
in synch with where you are.
When you come to
the point when you discover that denser foods do not serve you,
you will no longer have the desire for them. You will find they
do not match your vibratory rate. You will then feel led to
make the choice to move to higher vibrational foods as a natural
choice, a natural part of your process.
Do not force anything,
dear one. Do not force yourself into any any choice from judgment
or fear. Then you will be fighting where you are, rather than
embracing where you are, as you are, when you are, how you are
- which is the goal to be able to love and accept yourself completely,
as the individual that you are.
Where you are is
perfect, as it is for everyone on your planet. They are all
serving some aspect of God to reveal and reflect back to one
another. You are either a mirror of acceptance or resistance
- which either creates a life of wholness, fulfillment and celebration
or reflects back to you a life of resistance, pain and separation,
while you search for what is "not there."
A member of my
family has schitzophrenia. Could you tell me how the ascension
process will affect his illness i.e. will it make it worse?
Also, he knowns alot about the ascension process without ever
being told about it. Could he have been born with this illness
in order to help in some way with the ascension?
Gabriel
- He was not "born with the illness." He
adapted himself to the illness because of a split that took
place in the womb and birthing process. Schizophrenia is derived
from one of the five primary defenses called the "schizoid
defense." This defense develops from a message very early
in life that it "is not safe to be here. I do not feel
welcome in some way. There is no real place for me."
The people who develop
this defense attempt to escape in some way. In some more extreme
cases, it can lead to a real split from themselves to escape.
This merely means
that the various parts of the personality become unable to be
married as one. They are disperate and separated. They typically
have a great deal of judgment about the different parts of self,
because there was a lot of non-acceptance of self at a very
early age. They believe that some of these parts are as "totally
unaccepatable."
For many schizophrenics,
this comes from a desperate desire to avoid pain at a very early
age in some way. So they split inside to cope with the sitaution
- even to get into a different identity to dissociate from the
pain that is always present on some level.
Was he born at this
time in order to understand or help with ascension? No. He was
born with a certain defense pattern, where the energy field
is split in the seventh level of the aura. In this particular
defense, they interpreted from what was happening in the womb
or in the first 12 months of life that they were not wanted
or welcomed.
This can even come
from a mother being very afraid of giving birth or being dissociated
from self - and the child does not feel a real connection to
anything and does not feel safe.
Because of the outer
split of the aura, it is very easy for this person to leave
their body and go into higher realms. This connection into the
higher dimensions can allow them to connect with other realms.
This sometimes is interpreted as being "crazy" in
some way - but it is not necessarily so. They are often connected
to the upper realms and somehow "know things" that
are inherent in these higher realms as well.
Their healing comes
from a consistency of love, nurturing and authenticity. They
need the same acceptance that we have encouraged in each answer
so far. Love is the great healer. in this case, it is getting
the loving encouragement and acceptance that they did not feel
in their early years that will allow their healing resolution.
"About a
year or so ago I had 3 light beings visitors that presented
themselves to me just before I would awaken in the mornings.
I believe them to be Arcturians. The last message I received
was, "Surrender to death--surrender all aspects to death." I
knew they were referring to my ego self and not my physical
death. Were they Arcturians? And one of their messages was that
all is UNITY or ONENESS. When I am with people all I see is
their "light." Is this the same as seeing their souls and
is this the Unity that the Acutrians are referring to?
Gabriel
- Yes, dear one, these beings were indeed Arcturian
in nature.
And for your education
- one of the things that is interesting about arcturians is
a particular challenge for them - is to be able to bring order
out of disorder; to be able to align things in a sequential
order of understanding and clarity - so that there can be a
clear pathway or blueprint revealed.
So those who have
Arcturian influence on your planet can be of world service by
learning to help to build the new structures through a revelation
of deeper truth that has its own divine order within - structures
that are understood clearly and simply, because they come from
the truth.
As to your question
about "seeing the light of the soul." Yes, seeing
the light is being willing to see the essence of others and
is a recognition of the soul and the same unity of equality
that the beings were referring to. Yes.
"I am discovering
an interesting phenomenon. I am able to see the veins in my
hands more fully as I go through this process. Is this a symptom
of the ascension process? As a matter of fact, my friend and
I often feel that we can see light in the whole body of others."
Gabriel
- What you are noticing in your new level of consciousness
is the integration of more light in those on your planet, yes.
You may even get to the point where you see the essence of light
revealing that the exterior is just a covering of a deeper truth
and you will see the hologram that holds you in the third dimensional
experience.
Most people see this
as merely a luminous glow of the skin as you open to integrate
more light.
The physical body
is not solid...but appears solid because of the dense nature
of the lower vibration. This typically eliminates seeing more.
However, as the Photon Belt penetrates your solar system and
raises the vibration of everything, you will enter into an energy
field that moves beyond the speed of light. This will allow
you, at various levels, to see beyond the physical - the illusion
of separation.
How deeply you experience
seeing the light body will merely depend on how willing and
accessible you are at any given stage of your evolution. It
does not make you more or less loveable. It merely brings you
into more layers of truth of the miracle of creation.
" My question
is about teachers and children. As a teacher of young children
I want to know how I can best serve my students. What do children
need most at this time and how can teachers/parents best meet
their needs?"
Gabriel
- What children need most is attention, nurturing,
love and acceptance.
Make them feel heard.
Let them feel by your response that they have worth - they are
worth taking the time to listen to. Give them an example of
love and they will respond ten-fold. In doing so, you are nurturing
the essence of who they are.
All of you are expressions
of divine love. All of you are deserving of love, without having
to do or be anything - except to simply be who you are. Right
here and right now in this moment of creation.
Love is not a reward
or a punishment system. It is a system that makes space for
all peoples and realities. Love simply says, "yes. yes.
yes. I celebrate who you are.
I celebrate your differences. Who you are is absolutetly perfect."
This is what the
child inside each of you needs to know. As parents and teachers,
this is the greatest gift that you can give to one another.
"Soon I will
be retiring after working 40 years at the same place. I didn't
realize how much my identity, time and energy had been consumed
in my career. Mostly I've felt like a 'robot' going through
the motions of life with no sense of purpose, wondering WHY
I was on the planet. Can you give me some sense of direction
that would express the 'real' me to fulfill my purpose?
Gabriel
- To you it may seem overly simple. However, your
purpose is the purpose of every human being on the planet. That
one purpose that is most important is to learn how to love.
First you must understand
what love is. It is not a funny feeling or a sentiment - although
it can be experienced through the feelings of connection with
others, or in the experience of giving and receiving.
But on a deeper level
love is actually a force of creation - It is an aspect of the
mind of God that includes and directs the creative expression
of All That Is through its infinite individual expressions of
being.
So although love
is something that you tend to seek with a partner outside yourself,
it is not "out there." It is inside of you. You are
the source. You are the force of divine love. Because God/Goddess/All
That Is lives, moves an has its being through you. and you and
you....
You do the dance
of discovering the truth of the expression of your being through
the force and power of love. As you learn to love yourself,
you ready yourself to take your place in the divine force of
love that is the glue of all creation. That is your one and
only true purpose.
"What will
the steps for World Peace on Earth look like?"
Gabriel
- There are no real steps to peace. In truth, in
any moment there is either peace or there is conflict.
You embrace the experience
of peacefulness by gaining serenity within yourself. Serenity
is a requirement of peace and peacefulness is a requirement
of serenity. Peace on Earth is something that will grow out
of the peace of the individual.
When you, as an individual,
are no longer able to abide in conflict - when you have outgrown
the need for it and instead the greater desire has become for
peace (because there is nothing you are in conflict with) -
then you will know that peace is possible.
Once again, as in
many of the questions this evening, the solution comes when
you are able to fully accept yourself....then and only then
will you experience peace on Earth. It will come from individuals
choosing peace and creating peace within. You will then encourage
that greater experience in one another and the experience of
peace can grow.
It will not be a
linear process, such as counting a pile of stones on the ground.
It will be an essence that is infinite in its ability to penetrate
all life that is held in the consciousness of the many.
It must be chosen
every day. It must be chosen willingly, without doubt. it must
be chosen with faith and with the idea and the knowledge that
love is the one creative force and expression of life that is
ever present for all concerned.
"I have
noticed recently that I am immediately attracted to certain
people, feeling very comfortable and with others I feel quite
the opposite. In fact, one person in particular that I work
with exhausts me emotionally - drumming up intense feelings
of anger and mistrust."
Gabriel
- In order to take back your power, you need to realize
that people act as a mirror for you and your process. In any
particular moment, they either reflect what you know how to
love and celebrate or they reflect what you fear and resist.
This boils down to what feelings you embrace or resist as a
bottom line.
You also need to
know that you can never resolve anything by resisting or fighting.
If you are committed to resisting something, you literally demand
to have an object or situation to resist.
In other words, this
is why you have the old adage, "What you resist persists."
The bottom line is that you are never actually resisting a person
or situation. You are resisting how they make you feel....so
you are resisting your own feelings. And if you shut down in
the solar plexus to try and get rid of a feeling (keep it from
coming up to the conscious mind in the heart), then you hold
it in place and cannot resolve the true issue.
This is typically
the habitual choice of the subconscious. The child inside is
trying to keep themselves in a familiar re-description of life.
In this case, it would be actually being addicted to having
something to fight or resist - so that they would have something
familiar to "do" or control.
You will help yourself
resolve this issue if you use this simple formula:
"What am I moving
towards with acceptance? What am I moving way from with resistance?"
Ask yourself this question honestly with every choice.
If your life constantly
reflects what you DON'T want - or if you have what you want
to avoid, then you show yourself your true commitment is to
try to move away from and avoid...and you are in resistance.
If on the other hand,
you realize you have what you want and need, then you are in
a different, more integrative reality - moving towards life
with acceptance.
This is the simple
formula that is the basis of all manifestation. And you need
to look INSIDE to get to the source of what feelings you are
fighting and what feelings you can celebrate.
"I have always
been extremely sensitive to the inner workings (emotional, physical,
spiritual energies) of those around me. Many times in the past
it has been overwhelming and I have closed down. That sensitivity
is increasing all the time and although I have learned to work
with it - there are days when I feel rather beat up by it. How
do I set boundaries and yet have compassion to work through
this issue?"
Gabriel
- The first thing we will discuss is that it serves
everyone to have boundaries. However, most of you are not so
clear about the difference between a boundary and a defensive
barrier that causes you to separate yourself from life.
What you are describing
is the typical experience of a particular defense system that
gets created in childhood. This is the second time we have referred
to a defense system, so we will share that there are five primary
defense systems that you all have operated through on your planet.
It would serve you well to get to know what they are and how
they have ruled your life.
In this case, your
defense is reflecting a child that was not taught boundaries.
This defense is marked by a child who wanted to fit in and stay
connected to the family - but with no healthy guidance has learned
to replace a trust of self and an ability to connected in the
equal value of true intimacy with playing a role.
The child in this
particular Masochist defense has learned to give up her own
needs to some degree and compensate for this lack of balance
by taking care of the needs of others. This left the child with
a sense of looking outside the self to others to determine what
she needed to do or how she needed to act - with the primary
focus of taking care of others.
This leaves the child
with no energetic boundaries and a sense of being violated or
"beat up" by others' needs.
What needs to happen
is for the adult that you have become to understand this was
the creative choice of a child and not the most fulfilling choice
you can make. You need to create balance by learning how to
nurture and resolve your own needs. You need to recognize that
your needs are of equal value to everyone else.
The child has misinterpreted
what compassion actually is. It has nothing to do with "saving
others." Compassion is an energy of the heart that allows
and gives space without judgment for all situations that you
understand and that you don't understand....compassion gives
everything the chance to transform and change....and if others
choose not to change the way you have related, compassion still
gives you the opportunty for you to embrace it as it is (with
new, healthy boundaries that merely set up structures that include
your own needs, as well as the needs of others).
This energy of compassion
will allow you to stay in a more neutral space as you continue
on your own journey of self-acceptance.
When you can approach
your relationships where both people are willing to be equal
and in self-acceptance, then you can create a communion of two
souls in balance. And we know how loving and likeable souls
are when they reveal themselves to one another through the doorway
of true compassion.
We suggest that for
one day in your life you make the decision to dedicate yourself
to opening your heart without judgment...to allow compassion
for yourself and all that is happening around you - no matter
what life presents.
If you find that
you am not able to do that, you will have a better understanding
about what is in the way and required for compassion. And you
can get on with nurturing those places that are still held in
the myths of fear and imbalance.
And where you can
stay in compassion, you will illustrate for youself where you
ARE able to celebrate yourself and life around you - as you
remain in the self-empowered ownership of your precious presence
and being.
This kind of compassion
requires an equality that considers everything simultaneously.
And considers everything has the right to be just as it is.
" I am having
difficulty losing some excess weight. I'm also struggling with
keeping my office and home neat. It seems I'm not able to keep
the clutter cleared away, and I find myself always surrounded
by piles of paper. I'm thinking these two issues may be related.
What can I do to realize success in these areas of my life?"
Gabriel
- First, it is not the weight that is your problem.
It is a protection of self that comes from the inabiltiy to
contain yourself in your own space and know you have the right
to take your place in the world, to be seen, heard and to stand
in your own truth and the power of your own being.
The challenges you
have brought forth are a reflection of the same defense that
we spoke about in the previous question.
What you need to
all begin to realize is that the child held in the subconscious
will always re-create what is familiar. The clutter, as an example,
is a reflection of the inner chaos that you felt as a child.
There may have been chaos around you as well.
Holding on to clutter
is two things typically. It is a fear of letting go of the chaos
(though you may not be aware of this - as it is a SUBconscious
motivation). And it is often a fear of letting go of things
- out of a fear of being deprived or not having what you need.
The child learns
to hold on to these things, as they did not learn to trust their
needs would be fulfilled and that you live in a universe that
is loving and on your side. This, of course comes from a family
system that has not been educated how to identify and meet the
needs that are truly important - your safety, nurturing, emotional
needs, along with the clear models and guidance for taking steps
through change into more and more meaningful opportunities in
your lives.
Without this clear
model and foundation, the child is left with survival choices.
This creates a sense of unsafety.
The compensation
for unsafety can take many forms. In this case, it is about
learning to trust the self-worth and the ability to operate
in your life without needing excuses to keep you separate or
hidden in forms of protection. You need to realize that you
do not need to ask for permission to have your needs and feelings,
nor do you need to disguise your needs and feelings with weight
or outer chaos.
Instead, you need
to know that expressing the truth of your being - who you are,
when you are, how you are - that this will bring about the experience
of life in acceptance. It will allow you to know the experience
of being an adult who no longer needs to protect or defend....because
there is no enemy.
The world will always
be a reflection of the relationship you are having with yourself.
And you teach others how to treat you or relate to you by how
you relate to yourself.
"How can
souls like myself, living ordinary small lives and coming to
the end of this incarnation, be of assistance in preventing
further leverage of the power of the dark forces in the political
and religious leaders of the world? What can give us courage
to persist?"
Gabriel
- First of all, we encourage you to stop viewing
yourself as small. Begin to embrace yourself as having a voice
that makes a difference. You are the "Power of One."
It only takes one
to change the world. As you encourage one another, by your demonstration
and taking a stand, no matter how small it may seem to be, you
will make a difference in the resonance of your world. Even
if the way you take a stand is just writing a letter to your
congressman... Make yourself aware of the political leaders
and their agendas. Become aware of the agendas that are taking
place below the surface of what they are telling you.
Become aware of what
is going on in the potlical situation. Do your research. Become
involved. Do not become passive. Passive civilizations will
always fall throught the self-destruction of becoming disinterested.
We encourage you
to become involved...but in that involvement, do not oppose.
Become aware - so that you can make clear choices and have a
say. Act upon the things you can. You can always write with
your opinions. :This is what I cannot accept and this is what
I suggest as a solution." It is so important to seek solutions...not
just to judge and criticize.
Encourage and help
others become educated as well. Become curious. Become the wonder
child that you are. Treat the whole thing with the wonder of
discovery, the wonder to investigate and reaveal. Approach it
as a child playing detective- in that lightness of manner.
Do not oppose what
you CALL the dark forces. This simply gives them strength -
by giving them focus of attention. Instead come up with alternatives...build
a better system. And Build that system right along side the
one that is present.
You are the power
of ONE. As a mass consciousness, you are far more powerful than
the small groups who have banded together in their agreement
to control. They obviously realize the power of one. Use their
example for the good of the whole and to celebrate the individuality
on your planet.
If you join together,
you become the true power of the people. You can use their example
to create a system - to celebrate the individual differences
in all humanity - rather than controlling to get everyone to
"fit into the herd." This old way of being merely
wounds and breaks the heart of the soul.
Until
next time... Thanks.
