With loving greetings from all souls at this station, this is Matthew. Evidence of the ever-growing light can become obscured by what may seem endless turmoil, and we know that in those moments it is difficult to keep foremost in your thoughts: the light is victorious. In the months ahead, you shall see this more clearly as discussions behind closed doors start bearing fruit that you will heartily welcome.

On behalf of souls here, I am happy to address questions and comments that accumulated while my mother was visiting our family in South America. Concerns most often expressed have to do with ISIS, whose actions are keeping this group in the global spotlight. This is where it must be, where the weight of the world is against barbaric behavior and your society can see the need to eradicate the roots from whence it springs—foreign invasions, vengeance, bigotry, poverty and ignorance.

Do not be misled by those who misguidedly point fingers at Islam as the cause—ISIS’ atrocities violate the most basic tenets of that faith. Just as one can cite passages of the Koran that call for killing ‘the infidels,’ so can one cite passages of the Bible that justify the killing of people who don’t embrace Christian precepts; and, despite all omissions and distortions of the original records that became those holy books, they still contain passages advocating love and respect. The dawn of belief in one supreme deity quickly was perverted by the darkness, and religious dogmas devised by power-hungry, greedy individuals, NOT by persons ‘inspired’ by God or Allah, became the most divisive force within your civilization and the grounds for centuries of unspeakable persecution.

Now then, your universal family cannot halt ISIS’ path of death and destruction because they are not permitted to interfere in the free will choices of any individuals except those who attempt to send nuclear warheads into space. Yes, eventually heightening vibrations would topple the Islamic State, but in the interim, ISIS would continue exemplifying the basest of third density behavior. Never do we favor, much less suggest combat, but we understand that stopping that group’s progress requires a coalition of troops from directly-affected countries and their neighbors, with other kinds of assistance from other nations. We are not underestimating ISIS’ military strength, funds, recruiting success or determination to keep expanding their territory, but with dissension emerging within the leadership and the rank and file, they are not as indomitable as they want your world to believe.

I’d like to know Matthew’s opinion of this part of a posting about Gordon Duff’s speech at an international conference in Damascus about terrorism.

What is going on in Iraq and Syria with ISIS is not Terrorism, it is simply CRIME. That is, it is the works of an international Crime Cabal which has gotten control of the American Congress. Duff identified this Crime Cabal as Israeli and pointed out that this is Worldwide Crime on a scale never experienced before.

Duff explained how the Supreme Court Decision of Citizens United made it possible for an Israeli-American Organized crime magnate now operating out of Macao, Sheldon Adelson to essentially buy control of both Houses of Congress in the last election and being able to bring Congress under control of this International Crime Syndicate which specializes in human trafficking and narcotics.

What we say about the cited part of the posting is not opinion, it is our knowledge that the information is factual. While by no means is it the whole story, that fragment is indeed true, and the only ‘editing’ we would offer is citing terrorism for what it is, a crime against humanity.

Will the cabal be removed this year with a new governance in place? First we say that the cabal, a common term for the disparate groups under the Illuminati umbrella with the common aim of world domination, isn’t a tightly-knit force operating as a single organization. It is an international network that infiltrated governments, banking and commerce, corporations, education, religions, the media, military forces, legal and justice systems, medical establishment, entertainment fields—every organization, agency and institution that impacts life on Earth.

That global network cannot be removed or replaced in one fell swoop. Ridding it entirely from your world is a process, and that process has been underway for the past several decades, incrementally weakening the cabal’s powers by ‘bringing to light’ their deceit and corruption of longstanding. Also, in recent years the ever-increasing light has touched some cabal members and they left the ranks; some had such change of heart that they became enthusiastic lightworkers while others just stopped participating in activities intended to have negative outcomes. Pockets of strong influence remain, but as the planet keeps moving into levels of successively higher vibrations, those pockets will either crumble or continue ebbing until they’re nonexistent.

Is ISIS acting under Illuminati control? No, because that isn’t necessary for Illuminati purposes. Dark minds feed on the energy of fear, and ISIS and other tyrannical regimes and groups are creating the abundance of fear energy that keeps refueling the Illuminati’s strength.

What are Matthew’s thoughts about House Speaker Boehner inviting Prime Minister Netanyahu to address Congress? This is purely political in nature, and, as stated in previous messages, souls at this station are apolitical. So it is without judgment or partisan favoritism that we agree with your analysts who interpret the invitation as a ‘slap in the face’ to President Obama for continuing negotiations with Iran instead of taking the harsh steps that Netanyahu favors and so do some members of Congress.

Some congressional members are Illuminati themselves and many others are controlled by Illuminati via campaign funding, blackmail, bribery or dire threats; and some of the small number who aren’t in Illuminati clutches one way or another have closed minds about resolving issues by any means other than their narrow perspective. This is why, of all governments that you call democratic, the one in the United States can be called ‘the most badly broken.’ Contrary to what is perceived by many of the citizenry, ever since President Obama took office, he has been endeavoring to ‘fix’ the government by ridding it of the Illuminati influence that further enriches the wealthy and strangles measures that would serve the needs of the people.

Is Netanyahu in the Illuminati or is his bellicosity due to his serious responsibility for Israel’s safety? He is at the peak of the Illuminati and so are, or were, all of his predecessors in that position. As stated in prior messages, the Illuminati never have served the best interests of Jewish people in Israel or anywhere else in the world—the Illuminati instigated all the pogroms in Europe and their Nazi element carried out the Holocaust.

Using Judaism or Zionism as justification for their actions, the Illuminati have long kept the Mideast boiling, and they have discredited anyone who questioned their war-mongering by labeling those persons ‘anti-Semitic.’ Masters at creating divisiveness, the Illuminati initiated an assortment of labels for different religious beliefs, forms of governance, theories, philosophies and ideologies. Largely through religious and academic teachings and mainstream media, which have been under Illuminati control down through the years, your society has been carefully taught to scorn everything outside their own labeled category; and the Illuminati successfully instilled the mindset that anyone they labeled ‘anti-Semitic’ is a hateful person who is against the wellbeing of the Jewish population.

But Netanyahu does indeed take very seriously ‘Israel’s safety.’ Long before the 1948 establishment of today’s Israel, an Illuminati intention was to make Jerusalem their Mideast headquarters to expand their economic and political entrenchments in the Vatican, London, New York City and Washington, DC.

Does Matthew know if ‘reassessing’ US-Israel relations means that in order to keep getting financial support, Israel has to stop oppressing Palestinians and finally there can be peace in that region? We don’t know what provisions would be included in any ‘reassessing.’ What we do know is, when the Illuminati hardliners in Israel’s government and military are uncloaked, so to say, there can be cooperative relations between Israelis and Palestinians. As vibrations continue heightening in your war-weary world, peace and harmony will come wherever oppression, battling or tyranny exist.

Is there more significance to NBC’s Brian Williams’ Iraq war story, perhaps something karmic, or is it as simple as he told a lie and got caught? Although this topic no longer is headline-worthy, the question offers us the opportunity to show how karma is not set in stone, but rather offers considerable flexibility in the means whereby it is experienced. Speaking of Mr. Williams, we know from colleagues in Nirvana that he chose as his primary mission ‘to educate the public.’ He could have done that as elementary school teacher, college professor, trade school instructor, writer, environmentalist researcher or newspaper editor, as examples; but he followed his interests that led to television news reporting.

There is the same flexible latitude in experiencing a chosen karmic ‘lesson.’ In that context, perhaps Mr. Williams agreed to the humiliation of the discovery that he had falsified a war story to show the public the importance of using discernment about mainstream media information. It may have been a strong statement to media that reporting must be accurate or credibility will be lost. It could be that the emergence of his story years later would serve as an example that eventually truth will come out. However Mr. Williams views what he did and the consequences, it’s in line with his soul contract choice ‘to educate the public.’

Several readers expressed concerns about vaccines and the ongoing controversy about their safety vs risks, and one wrote: Why did just a few cases of measles become an urgent vaccination situation? This isn’t a deadly disease! As far as we know, none of your doctors has explained why they were urging vaccinations for such a mild disease or how a disease that purportedly had been eradicated in the US suddenly popped up. Your medical establishment is ‘in bed with’ the companies that manufacture vaccines; and, a few children were inoculated with potent doses to ‘give’ them measles, from them a few children with low immunity systems ‘caught’ it, and some passed it on to a few others who also had compromised immune defenses.

The earliest vaccines were developed by scientists whose purposes were benevolent, and the use of vaccinations was too. However, the Illuminati saw that vaccines could achieve one of their major goals—eliminating most of Earth’s population—thus they were used to cause the diseases that the public was told they would prevent. During the past half century or so, a variety of viruses developed in Illuminati laboratories have been released to initiate a pandemic, and in previous messages we have explained why in recent years all of those attempts failed. [The August 12, 2014 message has the most comprehensive information.]

For readers who asked if vaccines cause or contribute to autism, I asked my mother to copy our reply to this question in a prior message.

Is the sizable increase in autism related to the shift in consciousness? Not at all. The growing numbers of children who have symptoms that are similar to autism is due to toxins in inoculations, and the symptoms are exacerbated by pollutants in air, water and soil, and chemicals in food preservatives and prescribed drugs. True autism, which is far rarer, is the soul’s choice of experience, to which all others sharing that lifetime agreed. And neither autism nor its look-alike condition will prevent those persons from physically ascending with Earth unless a short lifetime is part of the soul contract. [February 13, 2011]

Thank you, Mother. We don’t know if Greece’s new government can turn around the country’s economy during the loan extension period, but it is most unlikely. The severity of that economic situation and other nations’ similar woes are a necessary prelude to ushering in a new global economic system. The current rampantly corrupt system, designed and manipulated by Illuminati, has to collapse to make way for the new that is based on precious metals. Behind-the-scenes progress is being made to bring this to fruition in a transitional process that will minimize the likelihood of chaos.

Maybe because I hear or read the same thing over and over, I’m giving credibility to information that doesn’t merit it. For instance, is Putin as ruthless as he is portrayed by our media? Are he and Obama really working at ‘polar opposites’? The answer to both questions is ‘no,’ but these closely-related situations beg explanation.

Both presidents are faced with serious national situations that in large part are the work of the Illuminati, but blame falls on the presidents, whose actions often are publicized as ‘too weak’ or ‘too aggressive.’ Both leaders are in the position of having to spout political rhetoric to show their respective nations’ strength and resolve. Neither Mr. Putin nor Mr. Obama wants to precipitate conflict or cause economic hardships in other countries, much less wage war; and off-stage, so to say, they are cooperating in efforts to achieve world peace, global economic stability, and the elimination of disease, impoverishment, crime and corruption.

A reader in Spain wrote about trees in Madrid. Mother, please copy the pertinent part of his email and my reply.

“A huge percentage of trees of our city are suddenly extremely ill for no apparent reason. Two of them collapsed last year killing 2 people, so that the city council is planning to cut off thousands, up to 20% of the trees in some areas.

“I heard the same information from 3 different persons who communicate with guides: Madrid is suffering an energetic attack to leave the trees lifeless and disconnected from each other, and the next step is doing this with the population. Many people say Madrid is a hub and what happens here has many consequences nationally and internationally. We are creating awareness about this here, but I think we could use help from other friends abroad who can send us their prayers.”

_____________________
“Matthew said he wasn’t aware of this situation and would speak with colleagues in Nirvana. They told him that in an arrangement with Gaia approximately 10 years ago in linear time, the trees volunteered to absorb negativity originating primarily from fear-based thoughts, feelings and actions of people in Madrid. This was so effective in raising vibrations that the trees offered to attract and absorb negativity arising well beyond the city. Eventually assimilating negativity’s low vibrations around the country severely weakened the trees. They willingly gave their lives to assist Earth to rid herself of negativity so it didn’t accumulate and adversely affect or destroy human lives. All along trees have assisted the planet and the human population health-wise, but this was an extraordinary effort to aid planetary and personal ascension. In time humankind will understand the interconnectedness of all life on the planet, that all are souls, and feel grateful for the many contributions of the plant kingdom and all animal life.”

Thank you, Mother. Every life form on Earth is an aspect of one intricate synergistic organism and all have important roles; however, if there were no trees, there would be no life there at all. Countless souls with ancient wisdom embodied as trees to serve the needs of all other life forms, and some of your oldest, largest trees have such high-level consciousness that they raise the consciousness of other life in extensive areas. As this awareness grows within your society, trees will be honored for their indispensable services. We hold in high esteem all who are endeavoring to save your forests and educate the populace about the importance of ending indiscriminate logging.

Lighted beings throughout this universe are cheering you ever onward and many are right there among you, helping in numerous ways to hasten your journey toward the full glories of Earth’s Golden Age.

Matthew Ward’s Message, as received by Suzy Ward, February 8, 2015, at http://www.matthewbooks.com/march-25-2015/

Krishnamurti once said:

“The really important thing is … the knowledge of God’s plan for men. For God has a plan, and that plan is evolution.

“When once a man has seen that and really knows it, he cannot help working for it and making himself one with it, because it is so glorious, so beautiful.” (1)

The Divine Plan is the overall script for life.

I was given a glimpse of it in 1987, a wordless tableau that showed the progress of an individual soul from its birth from God to its return to and mergence in God. (2) It lasted eight seconds in etheric time, but not a second passed in the world’s time.

It left me bathed in bliss and knowing the end of the film! Did that spoil it for me? Not at all. In fact, as Krishnamurti said, it enthralled me and launched me on twenty years of study before I found words for the wordless event I had seen that day.

And guess what? It all works out in the final reel. Just like the critics say.

The very best description of it that I’ve seen was just a remark by Jesus: “I came forth from the Father, and am come into the world: again, I leave the world, and go to the Father.” (3) Exactly. That was precisely what I saw in my vision in its most general form. His remark serves as bookends to my experience. It began with the Self leaving the Father and it ended with the Self’s return.

I’ve never seen a detailed description of the Plan. That doesn’t mean there isn’t one out there. Perhaps something like the Rosicrucian Cosmoconception is such a document and I didn’t appreciate it at the time I read it many years ago.

Perhaps we couldn’t understand any amount of detail about the Divine Plan anyways. Maybe that has to await our higher-dimensional understanding.

In its most general outlines though, the Plan calls for created life forms to enter into and incarnate in worlds of greater density, which offers them situations designed to give birth to Self-Knowledge. The world that the Divine Mother created is a school of experience. Always what we’re learning about is: Who am I, really?

The natural laws are a part of God’s Plan. They’re God’s commandments setting down the way the exercise called “life” is designed to be played out. What we do unto others is done unto us again in turn. What we desire, we attract. What we fear, we also attract. Be equanimous and attract nothing … but love.

Knowledge of these laws speeds us on our way. Just as when we discovered spirituality, our karma began to straighten out, so when we discover and observe the natural laws, our forward momentum is accelerated.

The Divine Mother, directly and through her laws, tends her children and raises them up before presenting them to the Father, so to speak. She raises them up by successive experiences of enlightenment. The Child of God is gradually brought to the knowledge of its true nature, ready to leave the Creator and the created realm and meet and re-unite with the Source.

We also have our own plan within the Mother’s Plan. At the end of every lifetime we hold that plan in one hand, in a manner of speaking, and match it to the akashic film of what we did. In the past, our progress was often unencouraging. Now we’re making rapid progress, again all according to Plan.

God’s Plan has been depicted as angels descending and mounting a ladder of consciousness (Jacob’s ladder).

“And [Jacob] dreamed, and behold a ladder set up on the earth, and the top of it reached to heaven: and behold the angels of God ascending and descending on it.

“And behold, the Lord stood above it.” (4)

This same ladder of life, in its entirety, the Persian poet, Hafiz, called “the stairway of existence”:

“Through the stairway of existence
“have you now come,
“have we all now come,
“to the Beloved’s door.” (5)

Jacob’s ladder, the stairway to heaven – these both describe the process of spiritual evolution that the Plan supports. The Plan depicts a being rising through gradations of consciousness from unconscious awareness to conscious awareness and from self-consciousness to Self-Consciousness and beyond.

Now let’s look at how this account – or perhaps the philosophy it leads to – is “integrated, direct and unitive.”

It can get really weird to be part-way through the Ascension process. Aspects of your personality self are falling away. New aspects are emerging, but you may not relate to them yet. And they don’t fit comfortably into the other parts that are disappearing.

Your life may be shifting dramatically, as well—relationships, your work, your health. It can all be very disorienting. You can feel fractured and unintegrated.

The only way to make sense of these experiences is to understand that part of you is living in a fourth-dimensional reality (with some lingering third-dimensional habit patterns), and part of you is now living in fifth-dimensional reality.

“Not All Here”

I’ve found there are a number of ways in which this transition from one dimension to another can be experienced. The first is to feel the sensation that you’re “not all here”. Somehow, all of you isn’t present. And no matter what you do to bring yourself fully present, it doesn’t happen. You’re only partially conscious somehow. You sense another part of you is somewhere else, but you don’t know where and you can’t get there. And you can’t bring both parts together.

The Absent Self

Other times it can feel as if what you’ve known to be your “self” is actually absent altogether. There’s nothing at all here. You can see your body, and be aware of thoughts in your mind and emotions in your gut—but there’s no substance somehow to any of it. It’s more than not being familiar with what’s present—it’s as if your individual self has actually somehow disappeared.

This sensation at times can be an incredible relief—it’s as if the ego self has finally disappeared and there’s nothing left but consciousness, awareness, presence.

With this experience, you feel a natural sense of bliss that carries you and yet a deep inner peace that keeps you grounded. Fear is absent, self-judgment and unworthiness have disappeared, and love floods your whole being in a very natural way. For the most part, you’re simply observing yourself, your life, and everything around you. It’s as if everything is just happening on its own—and you know it’s all perfect.

The Emerging Fifth-Dimensional Self

Another way to experience the disappearance of a sense of self during the Ascension process is blissful in a slightly different way: the old ego self is gone, but there is a sensation of a new, lighter self that has replaced it.

You’re not totally familiar with it at first. Your references points have shifted and there’s very little you can say about what’s different—and yet, you know that you’re not who you used to be.

There’s a sense of deep ease and well-being that’s present, and your heart is open. You feel a natural optimism, a deep trust of what life has in store, a sense of endless possibilities. There’s no feeling of lack or limitations. You’re just present in the here and now, enjoying each new moment as it appears.

Both of these last two experiences—a complete absence of an individual self and the emergence of a new self—are extremely pleasant. Old third and fourth-dimensional reference points, emotions, and beliefs have been suspended. You’re experiencing fifth-dimensional consciousness.

The Disappearing Third/Fourth-Dimensional Self

But there are other times in which the feeling of an absence of a sense of self is very different. You’re not knowing yourself as pure consciousness, nor are you experiencing the sense of a new, lighter self floating along in life.

All you know is that the person you’ve known yourself to be seems to be slipping away and that your life feels somewhat empty and flat. Activities you used to enjoy no longer draw you. People you used to have a good time with now either bore or irritate you. Passions you once had have greatly diminished if not disappeared. Nothing new has appeared yet to take their place.

You’re not exactly depressed. In fact, you can even experience some lovely sensations of love and joy that waft through you at times. There’s nothing really to complain about. You just kind of feel neutral about everything—no emotional ups or downs. And your life has somehow become small and contained.

This is the experience of living in your third/fourth-dimensional self that is disappearing. You know your fifth-dimensional self is present somewhere, because you’ve had glimpses or even longer experiences of it—but you can’t access it yet at will.

Living with the Disappearing Self

In my experience, all four of these ways of living with a disappearing sense of self can happen to us in our process of Ascension—or some mix of all of them. And they can all be somewhat disorienting, if you don’t know what the bigger picture is: that you’re in transition from one level of consciousness you’ve probably lived in for thousands of years into an unfamiliar and much higher level of consciousness.

What can get hard is when you feel stuck in the evaporating third/fourth-dimensional self. If this happens, it’s helpful to remember that it is on its way out, and the feeling of flatness and the uncomfortable changes in your life will eventually begin to disappear. At some point, your fifth-dimensional self will begin claiming you more and more often—until you have permanently established yourself in this new frequency.

The key is to not stress when you feel stuck in your disappearing self. Remember that you won’t be stuck forever; as it continues to fade into the ethers, more and more of your emerging fifth-dimensional self will begin to show up and remain for longer and longer periods of time.

If you find yourself moving into a need to compete, defend yourself, argue with others, get depressed, or struggle in any way—see if you can step back and simply observe these tendencies. They are being shown to you, so you can recognize them clearly as part of your old consciousness that is in the process of leaving.

Whenever possible, stay positive, do what you can to keep your vibration high, and hang out in gratitude. This way, you are consciously choosing to participate in your Ascension process—rather than feeling helpless as it lovingly pushes you, pulls the rug out from under you, and tosses you around, in order to keep you moving forward.

“The Disappearing Self,” by Vidya Frazier, March 23, 2015 at http://vidyafrazier.com/the-disappearing-self/
