Ireland.

Patrick:
My beloved, I am teasing you. [laughter] For certainly I have much to
say to the Irish people. Yet the first thing I would say is: Get over
being Irish!
For as I expressed yesterday,
I am an ascended being and I have gotten over being Irish. And if you
want to ascend with me, then surely you have to get over being Irish,
as the British have to get over being British and as the Danes have
to get over being Danes. For when you rise beyond the duality consciousness,
beyond the level of the Earth, you leave behind all of the divisions
on Earth.
And my beloved, why did I come to this nation? Why did I come to this
island? It was to set the people free from the state of consciousness
in which they were stuck at that time. And what do I desire to see for
the people of Ireland today? I desire to see you be free from the level
of consciousness in which you are stuck today.
That is why I brought the teachings of Christ back then which, as I
explained yesterday, was a much more universal version of the teachings
of Christ than what you have in Ireland today, where you see the teachings
of Christ through the Catholic filter. So start by getting over being
Irish and then move on to getting over being Catholic—and then
perhaps we can talk about you accomplishing the real mission that you
could accomplish in this age.
For indeed, there is a potential for the mission of Ireland. But it
cannot be released at this time, at least not by me, perhaps by Saint
Germain who might have other remarks to make later.
But I must tell you, my beloved, that when I came to Ireland, I met
a resistance from the collective consciousness, where the people did
not want to change. And I meet the same resistance today, where the
people do not want to change even though they know they need to change
– they know they are not happy, they are not fulfilled –
and as was expressed earlier, they know they carry a tremendous burden
of sorrow.
But that sorrow can come from only one thing, my beloved, and that is
attachment—attachment to a certain view of the world, a certain
view of yourself. And that is why I say, get over seeing the world through
a filter that you have built—the filter of a national consciousness
where you think you have to be Irish first and sons and daughters of
God second. Whereas the message I brought to this island 1500 years
ago was: See yourself as sons and daughters of God first and everything
else second.
That is the message I would want to get across. For as has already been
said, once you reach first for the kingdom of God and his righteousness,
then all other things will be added unto you. So I have no prayer, for
it is up to the free will of the people, and I do not desire to pray
to overrule that free will.
For my beloved, despite my tough talk, I am not pessimistic about the
Irish people and the future of Ireland. I do believe that an awakening
is possible and is much closer than it might seem. And thus, I have
high hopes that this nation can still fulfill its divine plan and its
highest potential.
Added by Patrick on 9/6:
Consider that – from an objective perspective – one can
look at the economy and almost every other aspect of life in Ireland
and see that things have never been better than today. And then one
must wonder why so many people are still not satisfied and why so many
have an – often unrecognized – longing for a past that they
think is somehow better—seeing it as the “good old days.”
In reality, most people who lived in what the current generation calls
the good old days also looked back to a past that they considered to
be the good old days. And this is a pattern you see in many nations,
especially in Europe. So one must consider why this is so, and the answer
is that there is a pattern in the collective consciousness created over
the centuries-long history of many nations. And that pattern pulls the
collective psyche toward the past, giving it a aura of being better
because no one in the current time can remember – or have experienced –
how the collective consciousness was at the time.
This is actually an ego-game of thinking the grass is always greener
on the other side of the fence, because the ego can assign any quality
it wants to the past, seeing that it cannot be challenged by reality,
for reality has moved on. So the psychological effect of this is that
people are not living in and appreciating the NOW, which pacifies and
paralyzes them, preventing them from enjoying life and from doing what
they actually CAN do in the now to make things better.
So I desire to have the Irish people – and many other nationalities
in a similar situation, such as the people in Eastern Europe who look
back to communism as a golden time – wake up and recognize that
the current time is not only the best time there has been in recorded
history but is also the best – indeed the ONLY – time for
making things better. And by embracing the now, people can indeed make
things better, whereas longing for a past that is forever gone will
only postpone progress.
I desire the Irish people to first of all recapture – and develop
to its full potential – their zest for life, their joy for life,
and simply let go of the sorrow instead of seeking to drown it. For
the latter will never work, whereas surrender will ALWAYS work when
done with a pure heart. Of course, dissolving the energies in the collective
mind through Mother Mary’s rosaries will also be of inestimable
value and make it easier for those who are not yet spiritually awakened
to let go of the past.
Yet the first step must be for the top ten percent of the people to
let go of the ego game that the grass is always greener on the other
side of the fence. And this should be especially easy for the Irish
people—for where could the grass possibly be greener than in Ireland?
