| 3. The Nature of That Which Is |
We would speak upon the nature of that which is as it appears and manifests within your manner of living. Many of you have often thought the words this is not the way it is supposed to be; and you have always been correct within those words. Yet we encourage you to remain free from regrets as you begin to realize within your ever expanding consciousness that all experiences have been an ingredient within your journey. Now you are beginning to place yourselves within what you call paradise. What is paradise but a manner of experiencing Truth within its pristine manner, as it always is. Within this phase of your journey you can cease from efforting within your need, or seeming need, to manifest. And as we have spoken previously, you have efforted greatly in many instances to make manifest that which would flow forth as fulfillment. Yet that which you call paradise is without effort; it is always giving to you in every moment within every breath that called fulfillment – perhaps even that fulfillment of which you have not yet thought. Some have looked upon this manner of living as the Garden of Eden of which has been written in some documents which still reside upon earth. Perhaps our descriptions of the nature of paradise, or the nature of such consciousness within which you are expanding, would be of assistance to you? Within this manner of residing – and we speak of frequencies and consciousness, not necessarily residing within the physical; yet let us be clear in that it is the frequency and your own expanded consciousness that flows forth to become physical – there is not what is called need. While need has been useful to you in the past in that it signaled you to action or awareness, the concept is no longer required as the type of action, is no longer required within your paradisal consciousness. And now we enter into the awareness that you have long held – that being, the way it is supposed to be. As you reside within the joyful wonder of nature and its beauty, as you reside within the innocent pleasure of feeling the wind upon your face, as you reside within that laughter which bubbles forth spontaneously for seemingly no reason at all, and as you reside within the natural peaceful contentment that has made itself a known from the fabric of your ever-expanding consciousness; you are called to go forth within these manners or similar manners, to go forth in the moment and allow to increase within your awareness such peace and contentment. From what does peace and contentment derive? From an inner knowing that – as you have the words – everything is all right. Not only is everything all right, but it will always be all right. That contentment. That peace. That most natural way of being. And you may be responding within your thinking mind with, this world will not allow such contentment or peace or ease to exist. And we say to you that such contention resides upon the foundation of the manner in which you have lived, upon the manner of your own limited consciousness. You are different now. You are becoming. Becoming known to yourself. Your own magnificence is being allowed to be known. You are doing the allowing. You are, by your own expanding consciousness, allowing yourself to be fully present, to be fully aware. The conclusion of such allowing is a residency in what you call the frequencies of paradise. There is no need, so to speak, for struggle. And we say to you with the upmost gentle manner, if you continue to refuse your own magnificence by holding to that which was, you will most definitely continue to struggle. Why? It is as if you are placing one foot in a new vessel, perhaps in your imagination you would think of a boat. You are placing your one foot in the new boat. It is wondrous, it is beautiful. Yet your other foot is still stepping upon the old boat, which is in great need of repair. The old boat is that which you have been residing within, the old beliefs, the old patterns and the struggles to - as you say the words - keep your head above water. Yet it is a familiar boat and it has carried you through many storms. Within your own invitation to enter your own expanded consciousness, you have presented for your journey, a new boat. You believe that you are not yet familiar with it. You believe you do not know if it will carry you through the storms. Yet we say to you, you are most familiar with this new boat, with this new vibrational frequency, with this new manner of being. What you are seeing as new, is really the Truth as it resides within the fabric of your being, within the totality of your consciousness. It has always been there, the Truth, the newness. It has been ready for you to awaken, which you have, and to dare to let go of the old ways, which you have; and to reside within it, recognizing that the seeming unknown is made known by your very presence. Do you hear those words? Perhaps you will consider them again? The seeming unknown is made known by your very presence. And your very presence is not your thinking, your mind; though such thinking and mind are part of the whole, they are not the entirety of your being. Within paradisal consciousness of being, everything is made manifest for you. All manners of beauty, joy and delight are made manifest before you and within you. That which you call success is simply a manner of residing within the fullness of that which you are and then journeying forth within the creativity which sparks itself from such residing. Those instances which were made manifest in the past, those that caused strife and difficulty, confusion and frustration, no longer have a foundation upon which to reside. And you are tempted to ask, how everything will then be taken care of? To which we would say: there is no such thing as everything being taken care of. Why? Because everything resides, within your ever expanding consciousness, within perfect rhythm, within perfect order, within perfect relation to itself. Do you see? Do you understand? Where in the past, you efforted to cause the relations of flowings of abundance, of flowings of fulfillment, of flowings of arrangements, of flowings of solutions to difficulties; in your new consciousness there is no need for such efforting because there are no misalignments of being. Everything is in perfect order. As the old frequencies and their manner of manifesting within your lifely experiences begin to dissipate, you may find yourself interpreting what is occurring as you once interpreted events. Yet we say to you, even without determining to change your manner of focus, you will be gifted with new and synchronistic occurrences, which will perhaps prove to you that you are living differently. Within your experiences will you then begin to know the seeming unknown. Within your experiences will you begin to know Truth as it is and has always been. You needn’t plan what to do if everything doesn’t work out the way you would like it or need it to be. Such planning has been a large part of your efforting; yet now you will begin to see the futility of such planning and will easily let go of such long-established habits. You might find such awareness of freedom from will engender in you a type of giddiness. It is your joy rippling forth to fill your experience and it is such movement of joy that becomes your dance within your journey – just as it was always supposed to be – to use your phrase. It is not only these words which will carry you fully into your expanded consciousness. The frequencies which reside within our communications are as if a bridge to your fullness of being. And you have dared to place yourself upon the bridge, even though you do not know where it will end. Such daring speaks not for courage, but more so it speaks for your intrinsic knowing of the fullness of paradise, the fullness of such frequencies. Your intrinsic knowing of the fullness of paradisal frequencies has now become unveiled to your conscious knowing. Perhaps you will allow yourself to consider what the way it is supposed to be means to you? Perhaps you will consider what your residing would be like if everything was the way it was supposed to be? And even now we would say to you that paradise is even greater than all of your considering and imagining. Yet such considering would be as inviting your magnificence to be made known to you. Though you may not believe it or think it, you have made great progress while you journeyed through these words. |
