Find centeredness in the heart
A message from El Morya
NOTE: This message was delivered
on May 27, 2006 during the Shangra-la
Ascension Conference.
I come to you also
with great joy. El Morya I AM, and I AM indeed the Master of the First
Ray of the Will of God. So I come to you to give you a discourse on
the path of Oneness. For where shall we start people on the path of
Oneness if we do not start them at the beginning, at the first ray of
the Will of God? For how can you come into Oneness until you have come
into Oneness with the Will of God, and stop seeing the Will of God as
an external will of the angry being in the sky, and realizing that the
Will of God is the Will of your own higher Being—as has been said
in several rosaries and was said by beloved Hercules
yesterday.
Thus, my beloved, I come to tell you that the key element of starting
the spiritual path is indeed to realign your will with the higher will
of your own Being, that you may be of one Will instead of being divided,
having so many different wills fighting for your attention or for control
of your lower being that you scarcely know which one to follow.
This, my beloved, is a most unfortunate state, and I feel great compassion
for the great many people in the world who are so scattered and drawn
hither and yon by the many different wills screaming for their attention.
So my beloved, the only way to overcome this is to be aware of the stillness,
as Mother Mary has said. For it is only in the stillness that you can
reconnect to the higher will of your own being.
Come into Oneness with me…
Thus I come with a suggestion that might help you. My beloved, the path
of Oneness requires you to attain oneness on all seven rays. Therefore,
when you encounter any impulse coming at you – whether it comes
at you from the outside or whether it comes at you from inside your
own being – and when you suspect that it might not be the higher
Will of your I AM Presence, then say to that impulse, "Come into
Oneness with me in the Will of God." And then, instead of frantically
following that impulse, center in your heart, in that Oneness. Reach
for the stillness of the oneness with the Will of God, and then you
will know – through the resonance or non-resonance – whether
the impulse is in alignment with your Higher Will.
Now, some of you have mastered the initiations on the first ray, and
have moved on to one of the other rays. And thus you can discern by
using an affirmation on any ray, "Come into Oneness with me, in
the Wisdom of God," "Come into Oneness with me in the Love
of God." And even those of you who have moved beyond the seven
rays, and are facing the initiations of the eight ray, can use a similar
affirmation. Eventually, when you start to know your God Flame you can
say, "Come into Oneness with me in …" and then describe
your God Flame.
Because when you have contact with your God Flame, when you start to
establish Oneness with your God Flame, you have the ultimate means for
discerning the spirits. Because you will know whether something resonates
with your God Flame or does not. And if it does not resonate, you do
not have to judge it as being good or bad, you simply leave it behind
as not being for You.
Bridging the gap
Now my beloved, I am fully aware that some of you either do not know
what your God Flame is, or you might understand it intellectually but
you have still not established that heart connection to it. My beloved,
I ask you to consider that the central challenge on the spiritual path
is very simple. The path implies that you are at a particular step and
you need to move up to the next step. In other words, there is a gap
between where you are now and where you need to go. So the central challenge
on the spiritual path is how to close that gap. And for many people
it can seem insurmountable.
My Beloved, one of the major tactics employed by the dark forces and
the ego, is to create the illusion that it is impossible for you to
bridge the gap. They have used Jesus as a primary example in the West,
but in every religion there has been created this monster of idolatry
concerning the leader or leaders of that religion. Jesus was so special,
was so far above everyone else that how can you possibly close the gap
between your present level of consciousness and the superior level of
consciousness that Jesus demonstrated. The same thing with many leaders
of many organizations.
There are indeed many gurus and teachers in this world today who are
not necessarily false gurus—they are well-meaning individuals,
they have attained a certain spiritual attainment, perhaps even certain
abilities. Yet if they do not understand the dynamics of the path, they
often teach essentially by saying, "Look how advanced I am. Come
up to my level!" But they do not provide a step-by-step path between
where people are at in consciousness and where they are at themselves.
And thus, you see my beloved, if these individuals are not aware of
this, and are yet too focused on themselves – that they have not
truly let go of the self-centeredness but they have a little bit of
ego left – then even though they have genuine spiritual attainment,
and they actually have the ability to help people grow spiritually,
they have not yet bridged the gap between their own attainment and the
attainment of those they teach. And thus, even though they might give
a genuine teaching, it is actually a false teaching in the sense that
it discourages those who accept the teaching because they think they
cannot bridge the gap between their consciousness and the consciousness
of the teacher. Because they see no logical step-by-step path between
their level and the level demonstrated by the teacher.
A fundamental problem for spiritual teachers
And this then brings you to another understanding of the spiritual path,
an essential dynamic of the path that even we of the Ascended Host cannot
circumvent as long as people are trapped in the ego. For you see, how
can we make anyone motivated to follow the spiritual path unless we
demonstrate to them that there is an advantage to following that path.
And so we do that by giving people examples who demonstrate a higher
level of consciousness, perhaps certain abilities that are beyond the
ordinary.
And yet, the ego can then use this to create that aura of idolatry,
or infallibility, around the leaders, which makes it seem impossible
for others to bridge the gap and attain the same consciousness as the
leader.
Yet my beloved, for many years we have said, “What one human being
has done, all can do, all can attain.” And thus, I ask you to
seriously ponder whether you have – in your own being –
some element that makes you look at the Ascended Masters, or anybody
in embodiment that you consider to be more spiritually advanced than
yourself, and think, "Oh, I couldn't possibly do that, I couldn't
possibly attain that." And then I ask you to recognize that if
you see this, it can only come from the ego. It cannot come from a realistic
assessment from the Christ Mind because the Christ knows, as Jesus said,
“With men this is impossible, but with God, all things are possible.”
And thus you see, you of your own self could not bridge the gap but
God within you can indeed bridge that gap.
So my beloved, we of the Ascended Host are constantly attempting to
come up with ways and means to help people bridge the gap. You have
been taught about inner communication by using a simple technique of
muscle testing that by-passes the analytical mind and connects you to
the mind of the body, and can even connect you to your Christ Self to
some degree. This is therefore a valid way for those who have not yet
fully developed their intuitive abilities, or perhaps do not fully believe
in these abilities, to bypass that analytical mind that is always in
doubt because it can argue for and against any problem in a convincing
manner, so it cannot decide which of the two options is the right one.
And thus, my beloved, by getting a simple yes or no answer through the
muscle impulses of the body, you can at least begin to overcome that
state of paralysis. Yet I ask you again, as we have said before, to
keep in mind that every tool we give you can become a trap, if you become
too attached to it and think that you should be able to get all your
answers in a specific way. And thus, I desire you to recognize that
every tool we give you as a means to an end must not become an end in
itself, for in that case it is no longer helping you to grow but only
helping to keep you trapped.
Getting more accurate answers
Thus, my beloved, I ask you to recognize that many of you have a certain
ability to get answers. Some of you might even feel very sure that the
answers you get are accurate, absolute, infallible. But I ask you to
consider that this is only a phase on the spiritual path, and it is
a necessary phase where you begin to come out of the tendency to blindly
follow the blind leaders.
You begin to come into your own, you begin to trust that you can know
on your own the difference between truth and error. But there is a subtle
temptation, where the ego will use this to make you think that you are
always right, that you always know in an absolute manner, what is truth
and error. As we have attempted to show you very gently, there is always
a higher level of understanding of any concept on the spiritual path.
This is a principle I would like you to anchor in your minds. For as
long as you are on Earth, you are not beyond learning something more,
discovering a deeper layer of understanding. And yet if you allow your
ego to trap you in the sense that, "I have the perfect discernment,
and I know the truth," then you are not open to discovering a higher
truth than the one you know. And take note that I am not saying that
the truth you know might not be correct. In many cases, many of you
do know the truth. But truth is not something that can be captured in
words or even concepts on this Earth. Which is why Jesus said, "God
is a spirit, and they that worship him must worship him in Spirit and
in Truth."
So God's Spirit is the River of Life, which is constantly transcending
itself. Which is why we have given you rosaries and teachings to help
you reconnect to the River of Life. For when you lock your mind on the
sense that you have now discovered some ultimate guru or belief system
and now you have everything you need to make your ascension, then you
set yourself apart from the River of Life. For you essentially say to
God, "I have everything I need, leave me alone."
And that is truly what you say to your spiritual teacher, to your Christ
Self and to the Ascended Host. And I must tell you that a substantial
number of the people who used to have a certain connection to me –
and therefore could rightfully call themselves chelas of El Morya –
have lost that connection for the simple reason that they have not been
willing to move on with the River of Life. Even though they were prompted
by me and by their Christ Selves to move on.
I am not even talking about moving on to another organization or other
messengers or another teaching. I am simply talking about moving to
a higher understanding and realizing that even though they have a good
understanding of the path, that there are still layers and levels to
be discovered. And it will not end as long as you are here on Earth.
For that matter, it will not end even in Heaven until you have attained
full God consciousness, which I can assure you is still a ways away
for all of you.
Accept my love for you
Thus, my beloved, I must tell you that I look at you with a great sense
of love. For you have been willing, as very few other people have been
willing, to look at your egos, to do many things to discover the ego,
to expose it, to force it out in the open. Whether through the rosaries,
health kinesiology, other techniques that you have employed, or even
just self-observation that you have done all of your lives, even though
you might not have been fully conscious of it.
All of you who are here have had that willingness to look at yourself
and say, "Is there a better way? Is there something I need to change?
Is there something that is holding me back?" This my beloved, is
the quintessential ability of the Conscious You—to project itself
outside its current mental box, belief system, world view, and see if
there is perhaps something outside that box, perhaps more to life. And
unless you are willing to realize that there could be more to life than
what you are experiencing right now, how could you discover that More,
how could you discover the master of the Will of God that I AM?
Thus, I commend you for your willingness to reach for the More. And
I say, even though some of you may be going through the dark night of
the soul, if you will always maintain your willingness to reach for
something more – no matter how difficult your situation might
seem – then I can assure you that you will eventually find that
more. It is simply a law that when you ask, you shall receive. But sometimes
it might take time in the physical octave before you receive that for
which you ask.
And sometimes you also have to be willing to refine what you are asking
for because obviously, as Hercules said, if you are asking for something
that is in opposition to your own divine plan, then how can we give
it to you? And thus, by reaching for the more, meaning a deeper understanding
of yourself and of life, you can eventually overcome the human expectations
and bring yourself back into oneness with that Will of God that is your
own Higher Being, that is expressed in your Divine Plan. And when you
come into that oneness, then I can assure you that things on the outer
will begin to change.
Beware of the temptation
And if I possibly could, I would love to see all of you make that switch,
make that turn of the dial of consciousness, whereby you realize that
you can – at this moment – come into Oneness with the WIll
of God—if you are willing to give up every aspect of the lower
will of the ego.
Thus, I will give you another tool. Whenever you sense you are dealing
with a particular concept or problem in your psychology or an outside
situation or force, keep in mind that you are being tempted by the prince
of this world, as Jesus was tempted after his stay in the wilderness.
See that the prince of this world and your ego are standing right next
to you, whispering in your ear something that takes you away from that
sense of inner Oneness. And then create for yourself, depending on the
situation you are dealing with, an affirmation that counteracts what
is coming to you from the ego and the forces of deception.
Create an affirmation or a habit of centering in the heart so that you
turn their own strategy against them. So that their very attempts to
take you away from the centeredness in the heart becomes an encouragement
for you to make an extra effort to center yourself in the heart, in
the oneness with the Will of God. If it helps you, visualize my presence
with you in your heart as the Presence of the Will of God, the Master
of the Will of God. Then by all means I will be happy to be there, and
so will any other Master on the Seven Rays, or whomever Master you are
currently working with.
But fix in your mind the idea that when your ego and the forces of this
world are trying to get you away from Oneness, then use their own tactic
to come closer to Oneness, to center in Oneness, to BE in Oneness. And
then you will see that the devil will flee from you, as he fled from
Jesus when he realized that Jesus was not going to be tempted.
Don’t take the devil too seriously
This my beloved, is indeed an important key. And when you use their
own tactics to center in Oneness, you can overcome the tendency to take
yourself, and the devil, and the ego, too seriously. And then you can
employ what I have said in my past lives, when I said as Thomas More,
“The devil, the proud spirit, cannot endure to be mocked.”
And then you can laugh at the devil, and he will flee, for he cannot
stand the sound of laughter, especially when you are laughing at him.
But even when you are happy and laughing out of the pure joy of being
alive on Earth, the devil flees. For he cannot stand those who are happy,
are centered and at peace. They disturb him! And that is why some of
you will notice in your lives that you have met people who are angry
with you, or blaming you for seemingly no outer reason. But it was your
light, your inner light, your peace, your happiness, essentially your
God Flame, that disturbed them. And thus they were agitated because
they saw that if you could be More, then they could be More too. But
because they were not willing to change ,they did not want to be around
you. So they wanted to drag you down into their own misery so that they
had an excuse for not changing themselves.
My beloved, do not take these people so seriously; they have no power
over you. And thus, I say to you, find a way to center in the Oneness
in the Heart. Find a way to laugh at the conditions that seem so dire.
And do not allow yourself to enter into the vibration of thinking that
the world is going to hell in a hand basket, for I assure you that it
is not.
No matter what challenges may come upon this planet, this planet will
go up into the Golden Age. And it will do so because we the Ascended
Host up Above do not accept anything less than the immaculate concept
for the Golden Age of Aquarius, held in the mind of Saint Germain. And
we know that there are sufficient numbers of people in embodiment who
likewise will not accept anything less. And we sincerely hope that all
of you will count yourselves among them, and therefore not allow yourselves
to go into that lower vibration that focuses on the problems and makes
them seem so insurmountable that you cannot close the gap between where
the Earth is now and the perfection of the Golden Age.
My beloved, the Earth has moved forward tremendously over the past century.
And although you see many problems, there is an underlying progress
that is indeed immense and cannot be stopped by the forces of darkness.
For had they been able to stop it, they would have done so, ten years,
a hundred years, a thousand years, or ten thousand years ago. And thus,
the very fact that the Earth is still in existence is proof that the
dark forces do not have the power to destroy this beautiful planet.
For there are enough people who would not go down with them and thereby
drag the Earth into their self-created hell.
Thus my beloved I have spoken my peace, and I too congratulate you,
and I extend my gratitude. Therefore, I seal you in the peace that comes
from knowing you are One with the Will of God. Be it so!
