Let
us rise above the fighting over land!
A dictation by Saint Germain. This
dictation was delivered on May 20, 2007 during the Shangra-la Ascension
conference in Ireland.
Most gracious Ladies and Gentlemen, I desire first and foremost to express
the joy of Saint Germain, that you may feel how grateful and joyful
I am over your presence here. Thus, my beloved, allow yourself to feel
in your heart that you are in the Presence of Saint Germain, the God
of Freedom for the Earth.
For I am indeed grateful that you have been willing to do what so few
people on this Earth are willing to do, namely to look at the beam in
your own eye, to honestly recognize it and to let it go. To process
through it, not only in your own consciousness, but in the collective
consciousness of the continent. For my beloved, unless some are willing
to do this, how shall the collective consciousness be raised? And if
the collective consciousness be not raised, well then how shall we transcend
the patterns of conflict and war that have torn apart this continent
so many times, even in recorded history.
How can people claim ownership of land?
So my beloved, to give you some co-measurement, I want to assure you
that we of the Ascended Host can and will work through each one of you,
and inspire you in various ways. As you have seen that it is not only
our messengers who can bring forth beautiful testimony and statements,
as you have indeed seen many people during this conference be willing
to share their heart flames and their experiences, even in being the
instrument for bringing forth this song that you have just sung, for
it ties in with my discourse for this night, for indeed what is your
land?*
Well,
is it a physical manifestation, is it a physical place around which
you can draw a border, or is it more than that? For my beloved, what
I desire you to look at this night is the very fact that one of the
major causes of war on this continent – and indeed throughout
the world – has indeed been the fact that so many people have
allowed themselves to feel ownership of a piece of land. And in order
to protect that land – or to expand it by moving a line on a map
a few kilometers this way or that – they have been willing to
kill untold numbers of their fellow men.
My beloved, what folly is this that human beings develop ownership of
a piece of land and call it theirs? My beloved, does not the entire
planet belong to the Earth Mother? For is not the entire planet an out-picturing
in form of the Earth Mother herself? And so who can draw a line on a
map and say, “This is now our land. We own it, and if someone
wants to move here, we will kill them before they kill us.”
So my beloved, why does this sense of ownership develop? Well, there
are two reasons, as there are two reasons for everything. One is the
personal reason of the ego of each person that needs the sense of security
and being in control. And so when you feel that you own a piece of land
that is yours, personally yours, and you can draw a border around that
land, then you begin to think that no one can take it away from you,
and so the ego feels secure and in control. And on a larger scale a
group of people will develop a national identity, draw a border around
a piece of land, and then again, their collective ego will feel a sense
of security and control.
But my beloved, there is the greater issue behind the human level. Namely,
as Jesus talked about when he talked about conspiracies, that in the
higher realms – the mental, emotional and etheric – there
are fallen
beings who are plotting to control this world, and control the people
thereon. And my beloved, how do they control the people on Earth?
Well, they do it primarily through the divide-and-conquer method, the
divide and conquer philosophy, the divide and conquer strategy. You
see, my beloved, in Heaven we are all one because we know individually
that we are one with the Creator—and thus we know that everything
came out of the Creator and therefore we are one with each other.
Truly, the people on Earth are meant to manifest the Body of God on
Earth, to see themselves as part of the one body of God. And when they
do so, well there will be no room for darkness and duality on this planet.
For how can there be warfare when all people see themselves as one?
Who can be foolish enough to see their right arm as an enemy, and cut
off that right arm when they truly realize the arm is part of their
body and without it the body will suffer, potentially die.
And so, you can only kill another human being when you do not see yourself
as part of the Body of God and therefore cannot see other people as
part of that same body. And so in their strategy to prevent the emergence
of the consciousness of Oneness on this planet, the fallen Beings have
plotted to divide humankind.
And certainly, there are many ways they can do this, but I would bring
to your attention that one of the primary ways is precisely to divide
them up in groups that live on a particular, well-defined piece of land
with borders around it. And then make them believe that they have some
kind of obligation to defend that land, or to expand it by killing other
people when necessary.
How to look upon and deal with the power elite
Truly my beloved, this is one of the primary strategies of those who
control humankind. And with that I truly mean, the principalities and
the beasts in higher realms as Maitreya
explains. For you see, my beloved, it is not truly the power elite
on Earth who is consciously and deliberately doing this, for they simply
do not have the sophistication or the awareness to plot such an overall
strategy. And the reason is that those who are in embodiment are, of
course, susceptible to the same mechanism that you all experience—that
when you are in a physical body, you experience everything from inside
the material realm, and thus you lose the larger perspective.
So even though there are various power elite groups who are plotting
behind the scenes, I must tell you that they do not have the awareness
to consciously carry out the overall strategy hatched in the minds of
those who are not in physical embodiment. Thus, the embodied power elites
simply act as puppets on a string. They are pulled hither and yon by
those beyond the physical whom they have made their masters.
And so you see, my beloved, there are indeed many among the power elite
who are completely attached to a particular plot of land, and who are
willing to wage war with those in the next country who have also formed
a power elite in that country. And so that is indeed why, my beloved,
this planet has not been taken over by one, centralized power elite—for
they are warring amongst themselves and cannot come together in oneness.
And my beloved, they will never be able to come together in oneness
as long as they cling to the consciousness of separation, the consciousness
of duality. And were they to rise above that consciousness of separation,
well my beloved, what would happen? Well, they would enter the spiritual
path and come closer to Christhood and thereby leave behind their need
for power and control.
So you see, my beloved, I ask you to consider the planetary history
and the history of Europe from a greater perspective. For what I would
give you is the sense of realism, that although we do talk over and
again about the power elite, we have no desire to induce any sense of
fear or hopelessness or even anger or animosity in you against that
power elite. In fact there is a very good reason why we talk about the
power elite without being too specific, for we have no desire to see
our most mature and balanced students enter into a dualistic struggle
against particular individuals or groups or institutions on Earth.
For my beloved, take note of the fact that Jesus Christ himself did
not enter into a physical battle with a power elite of his time, be
it the leaders of the Jewish religion or the Roman empire. Surely, there
were those who wanted him to be the warrior king who would free Israel
from the Romans and bring the power of God into battle. But Jesus knew
full well that he was meant to set forth a higher example, and bring
forth a teaching that is beyond duality.
Being aware of the power elite without giving them power
And so even though we do want you to be aware that the power elite exists
– even though we want you to make the calls that will authorize
Archangel Michael and his legions to remove some among the power elite
from Earth – we do not want you to focus attention upon this.
For as we discussed earlier, when you put attention on something –
with a negative emotion such as fear or anger – well my beloved,
you misqualify energy. And that misqualified energy is then directed
by your attention towards the people towards whom you feel anger.
And my beloved, what happens to that emotional energy? Well, even though
it might affect the people in some way, the beasts and principalities
behind those people will suck up that energy and use it for their nourishment.
So you see, it is indeed true – as some among the New Age people
have said – that what you resist persists, and what you place
your attention upon, you magnify. But it is only true if you place your
attention upon something with a negative emotion, or a sense of hopelessness
or despair.
And that is indeed why we ask you to find the middle way of the Christ
discernment that allows you to recognize that there is a power elite
on Earth, that they have influenced society in many ways, and that you
need to be consciously aware of this and expose it where appropriate.
But you do not enter into the dualistic consciousness, where you personally
think you have to fight that elite and do battle with them. For you
realize that it is not truly the physical elite that is the problem.
The real problem is a state of consciousness, namely the false beliefs
and ideas, and the beast and principalities beyond the physical.
And so when you realize this, you realize that the real enemy is never
people, it is indeed a state of consciousness. And it is even treacherous
to say that there is an enemy, for in reality there is no enemy. For
when you are centered in the mind of Christ, you realize that the consciousness
of anti-christ is not your enemy. For you are not really concerned about
the consciousness of anti-christ in the sense that you believe it has
any power over you and therefore you need to fight it to protect yourself
against it.
No, my beloved, you have followed the call of Christ to come to the
point of surrender, where the prince of this world comes and has nothing
in you. The duality consciousness comes and has no elements of duality,
no illusions whereby it can control you and force you to enter into
that dualistic struggle, whether it be over land, whether it be over
which religion is right, or whether it be over which nation is superior
to another.
Nation states in the Golden Age
So my beloved, find that delicate balance. For when you look at the
history of Europe, you will see that what is missing is the balance,
the balanced approach to life based on Christ discernment. For every
time there has been war and conflict on this continent, has it not been
because two groups of people had both become imbalanced? And therefore,
one group had gone to one extreme, one group had gone to the other extreme,
and they now defined each other as enemies. And then the negative energy
started building and building, until a critical mass was reached that
overpowered the minds and emotions of both groups of people until they
locked horns in a physical battle.
And they would not give up until either one was conquered or until both
were depleted to the point, where they actually began to see the ridiculousness
of continuing the struggle. Indeed, my beloved, the potential that we
have spoken about during this conference for Europe is that a critical
mass of people will wake up and say, “We have had enough of this
dualistic struggle, including the dualistic struggle over land.”
And so my beloved, what does this actually mean? Does it mean that I
am saying there should be no individual nations and that all of Europe
should be one nation? That is not necessarily what I am saying, although
I must tell you that it is clear that when we move into the Golden Age,
there are certain nations that will disappear as separate nations because
they will realize that the birth of their nation was born out of the
duality consciousness and was not designed from a higher realm.
So what I am saying is that there are certain nations in Europe that
are truly designed by God to express a certain God Flame, a certain
national quality and individuality. But there are also nations in Europe
that were not designed by the Ascended Host, and that do not truly have
a separate national identity in the spiritual realm. They have a separate
national identity in the physical realm because – through the
dualistic struggle, through the duality consciousness – they have
developed that mortal national identity, that mortal sense of self that
makes them define themselves in opposition to other nations or other
groups of people.
So indeed, my beloved, as the Golden Age progresses, there will be a
redrawing of the borders, a melding together of some of the nations
in Europe. For there will be, indeed, an awakening where two groups
of people who today are separated by a border will come to see that
they have more in common than what sets them apart. And thus they will
come to say, “Why are we maintaining this artificial division
between us, when we could indeed attain more by coming together in oneness?”
Ah
my beloved, I realize this will require a dramatic shift in consciousness
but I can tell you that it is not nearly as dramatic as the shift that
Jesus spoke about, the shift between the Catholic mindset, the Catholic
world view, and the new scientific world view that was born during the
Renaissance. So you see, my beloved, this continent has shifted before,
and it can and will shift again.
For my beloved, have you not come together here from many different
nations? Did any of you come marching in here wearing your national
colors, separating your chairs from those from other nations with whom
you have had a difficult relationship, perhaps because they always beat
you in a soccer game or some other rather silly human competition? [Laughter]
No, my beloved, you walked in here forgetting about any national identity,
instead embracing and reaching for a higher identity, namely that of
Sons and Daughters of God who are spiritual beings who are so beyond
the human divisions. And as you have discussed earlier, my beloved,
you have indeed come together in oneness. And thus I must tell you that
you have set a pattern, you have started a new momentum—a new
seed has started sprouting in the collective consciousness of Europe.
And as this is maintained, and hopefully reinforced in the future through
other conferences, you can indeed see how the flower can begin to unfold.
And suddenly, there is another type of awakening in Europe—that
if we are more than sinners, if we are more than highly evolved animals,
if we truly are spiritual beings, well then we can no longer define
ourselves first and foremost by our national identities. We must now
define ourselves as spiritual beings who are part of the Body of God.
And thus the national identity suddenly takes on lesser importance,
and comes in its rightful place as being of lower authority than the
spiritual identity. And this is what can then start a new current in
the collective consciousness, where suddenly the rigidity around national
identity and specific borders begins to soften and fade. Until, my beloved,
people begin to question, “Why should we continue these old patterns
of having a fixed opinion about other people just because they live
in a particular nation that we have traditionally seen through a specific
filter, which we now realize is dualistic in nature and is but an illusion?”
The key to understanding among nations
And so my beloved, this is indeed one of the greatest problems that
causes conflicts among nations. It is the human ego's tendency to generalize,
to look at the members of another nation, not as individual human beings
but as a sort of non-humans that all fit into the same label. Which
is then what makes people reason that all citizens of the neighboring
country are bad or evil people who are out to get them, and therefore
we must defend ourselves by killing them all.
And once you enter into that state of consciousness, how can there be
understanding or even communication among different nations? For you
will not be able to communicate or attain understanding with other people
unless you see them as unique individuals instead of judging them all
based on some illusory national identity that you have created in your
own mind—and that might be completely out of touch with the reality
of who these people are.
And so my beloved, I look to the spiritual people to realize that you
are, of course, all unique individuals. Which means that there are unique
individuals in every nation. And thus it makes no sense to say that
all Englishmen are like this, or all Frenchmen are like that, or all
Germans are like that. For truly, within a nation of millions of people,
there are people of every type of individuality. They are all individuals—they
are good people, they are not so good people, they are selfish people,
they are altruistic people.
They are found everywhere, for my beloved, when you realize you are
more than the physical body – more than an animal, more than a
sinner – you realize that you do not belong on this Earth. You
did not come forth out of the Earth, whether it be out of the dust of
the Earth, whether it be out of the animal evolutionary chain. No, my
beloved, you came from the spiritual realm, so you are truly beyond
all these outer human divisions. And therefore, you see yourself without
seeing yourself through the filter of human divisions, and thus you
can see other people without seeing them through that filter.
And when this begins to happen in greater measure – as it has
already started to happen in Europe – well then a momentum will
be built and a shift will begin to occur. And that is then when people
will begin to realize that those of the neighboring country are people
much like themselves. They are different in some ways but they are not
different in fundamental ways. Because at the deeper level of your being,
well your neighbors are Sons and Daughters of God as you are. Surely,
they have their ego-based state of consciousness, but when you are willing
to recognize that your nation also has an ego-based state of consciousness,
then you see that you cannot allow yourself to fall prey to the illusion
that your ego is not as bad as the ego of the next nation—and
therefore it is justified that you assert your ego by killing the others.
Hypocrisy at the national level
Do you see, my beloved, it is like two little boys sitting in the sandbox
and they start arguing. And in order to trump his case, one boy says
to the other, “My dad is stronger than your dad!” and the
other says, “No my dad is stronger than your dad!” And they
keep arguing like this, and I must tell you that many of the arguments
among human beings are really born of a situation where one person says,
“My ego is better than your ego!” and the other says, “No,
my ego is justified. Your ego is bad but my ego is Okay!”
And that is what happens even on the national level, where a people
are so blinded by their ego-based national state of consciousness that
one nation believes it is perfectly justified in taking the stand that
this other nation is bad and therefore they should go out and kill them
or conquer them and suppress them or control them. For by suppressing
them through force and violence, they would actually be doing God's
work and they would be improving the planet.
My beloved, look at how many times a nation has seriously believed that
it needed to fight a war in order to bring peace. What folly is this,
my beloved? How can anyone who has an ounce of Christ discernment ever
believe that you can bring peace through war?
And then look how this has been a scourge on this continent, even to
the point where the most devastating war the world has seen in recorded
history, the Second World War, was labeled by some in Europe as the
War to end all Wars,** where they seriously believed that they needed
to fight this war in order to bring a permanent state of peace.
Ah my beloved, how can this ever come about? Peace can come about only
when people look beyond the outer divisions, where they refuse to be
so ensnared and focused and attached to the divisions that they are
pulled into the dualistic struggle against those who are different from
themselves. And so indeed, my beloved, as the awakening begins to happen,
as people see beyond this, people will come to see that it is unnecessary
to maintain large armies, to fight against their neighbors. For they
will begin to see that their neighbors are not their enemies for they
are so like themselves that it makes no sense to fight them.
Nations abandoning all military force
And this is when, as we spoke
about in Sweden, it is possible that entire countries can say, “Do
we really need a military force anymore?” And my beloved, I will
give you a vision of what could replace the military in some nations.
I am not suggesting that all aspects of the current military tradition
should be abandoned, for my beloved, there is indeed some psychological
value in having young people set aside nine months or a year to serve
their country—so to speak. The concept is sound; only when serving
your country means preparing yourself to kill your fellow men, well
then my beloved, I somehow cannot see the justification for it.
But imagine a situation where all young people were required to give
nine months or a year of service in a civil manner, where they were
trained to bring forth some kind of service, either to their own country
or to the developing countries, the poorer nations. So that every young
person was given the experience of learning a skill that they could
carry with them for a lifetime and that could enable them –
empower them – to give service to other people in some way.
This could take many, many forms, my beloved, even to the point where
you see many nations in Europe who have programs for helping the development
in third world countries. Well, imagine that this instead was replaced
by a draft, where all were drafted to give forth such a service. Imagine
how this could shift the consciousness of many young people who have
grown up in a culture where they have no particular sense of purpose
or meaning to life.
Yet suddenly they are required to learn a valuable skill, and they are
allowed to be in a situation where they can see the fruits of their
labor, and how it makes a difference for other people who are far worse
off than themselves. This my beloved, could be a wonderful service,
a wonderful opportunity, and could surely broaden the understanding
and development of international relations beyond what could even be
imagined by most people.
And my beloved, I know very well that there are many people who will
say, “Well how can we abandon the military when there are those
who still have vast armies who are out to conquer us?” But as
we said in Sweden, we do not suggest that all military is abandoned
at this point. What I am suggesting is a very gradual process, and what
I am saying is that there are certain smaller nations in Europe who
truly could say, “We will replace our military forces by such
a program of selfless service to other nations.” And thereby they
could set forth a matrix, a pattern, and create a momentum that could
eventually be expanded.
And so my beloved, what would then happen with this? Well, I can tell
you, that these smaller nations would indeed send an entirely different
signal into the cosmic mirror than the signal that has been sent by
the nations of Europe now for centuries. For my beloved, have we not
told you over and over again that the universe is a mirror that can
only reflect back to you what you send out? And if you look at the history
of Europe, what is the message that the European nations have sent into
the cosmic mirror? Well, by arming themselves to the teeth, and by seeing
themselves as being the enemies of other nations, have they not sent
the message into the cosmic mirror that, “We want an enemy to
fight, we want to be in a dualistic struggle?”
And so my beloved, what can the universe do but oblige people and give
them such an enemy? And so imagine what would happen if some of the
nations in Europe started sending out the message, “We no longer
want an enemy to fight. We want to serve other nations instead of fighting
them.”
Well, my beloved, it is inevitable that the cosmic mirror would gradually
start to reflect back another reality. And suddenly, the enemies would
fade away, and other nations would realize that they no longer needed
a military. And therefore – gradually – this could spread
like rings in the water. For my beloved, do you not see the reality
I am explaining here—that it is the consciousness of feeling threatened
that creates the threat. Even to the point where it is the consciousness
that has not been transmuted that has created what seems like the threat
of militant Islam.
Do you see, my beloved, as the European nations have progressed, they
have become better at not seeing each other as enemies. But because
Europe has not yet fully transcended that dualistic state of consciousness,
well they have simply had to go outside the borders of Europe in order
to find a suitable enemy. And this is indeed why the war on terror has
manifested. Certainly, not only caused by Europe, but also caused by
a very similar phenomenon in the United States.
But I must tell you again that I believe that Europe has a greater potential
right now to begin the process of abandoning and rising above this dualistic
consciousness than has the United States or any other region in the
world, save for a few countries here and there.
A new vision for Europe
And so my beloved, this is my vision that I desire to impart to you
for this night—of a new Europe where people are not so hung up
on national borders and national identity. Where they do not see themselves
as enemies or as competitors with those in other nations. But indeed
realize – as is beginning to happen to some degree – that
they can attain so much more by working together than they could ever
attain by fighting or competing with each other.
So, as my last order of business – or should I say as my last
order of pleasure – I once again want to thank you for your presence
here. My beloved, I have through earlier organizations spoken to people
in Europe, but I must tell you that it is an infinite joy to see how
you in this group have been willing to come together and transcend all
the outer things, and come into a oneness of heart that is beyond anything
the Ascended Host have seen in the groups we have sponsored for a very
long time.
There were brief periods in the early days of the Christian movement,
where we saw a harmony in certain groups. There have been other periods
over the last 2,000 years where groups have come together in harmony
and oneness. But there has not yet been a group that had both the harmony
and the understanding that you have. And so it is a joy to my heart
to see this, and to see that out of this continent of Europe –
with such a history of violence and conflict – it is possible
to draw out a group of people who have the love of their hearts to come
together in such oneness.
For this I am eternally grateful, for it gives me great hope that the
Golden Age consciousness can indeed emerge in this world. Regardless
of the storm clouds that might be on the horizon, it is possible to
create an oasis of peace where there is oneness rather than division.
Thus I desire to impart to you a portion, a special portion, of the
Freedom Flame. For my beloved, is it not so that division and separation
is what takes away your freedom? And the only true way to attain freedom
is to come into oneness, where there is no longer division. And thus
there is the freedom to be who you are, and allow others to be who they
are.
Thus, receive that portion of the Freedom Flame that I have not had
many opportunities to impart to people in physical embodiment. Thus,
feel the delicate blossom of the Freedom Flame in your heart, the Freedom
Flame that is not in opposition to anything, and thus is not freedom
as opposed to bondage, but is the Freedom of Being, the Freedom of Being
in the reality of God. The Freedom of basking in the Sun of your I AM
Presence, connected to the Central Sun of the Creator.
Thus realizing that you came out of that Sun and thus you are the Sun
on Earth.
Freedom is to Be who you are in God, and when you are Being who you
are in God, there is no condition or power on Earth that can take away
that freedom. For you are above it all, and they cannot touch you in
your centeredness in God's Being.
* Before the dictation, the
following Anthem from the musical Chess, was sung by the participants:
No man, no madness
Though their sad power may prevail
Can possess, conquer, my country's heart
They rise to fail
She is eternal
Long before nations' lines were drawn
When no flags flew, when no armies stood
My land was born
And you ask me why I love
her
Through wars, death and despair
She is the constant
We who don't care
And you wonder will I leave her – but how?
I cross over borders but I'm still there now
How can I leave her?
Where would I start?
Let man's petty nations tear themselves apart
My land's only borders lie around my heart
** World War I is the war
that is most often labeled as the “war to end all wars,”
although many people also considered World War II as a means to the
end of bringing permanent peace to Europe.
