How does anything ever change on this planet? Through people empowering themselves with the conviction that one person can make an impressionable difference in something. This internal belief has the power to do everything from disempowering corrupt systems to nurturing consciously evolved social ideas.

Yet, with the awareness of this power should come the awareness that we cannot force sleepers to become awakened. A sleeper is someone who has not yet realized that every single aspect within this vast and infinite matrix of consciousness that observably can be called the Universe/Multiverse is interconnected. Let the sleepers enjoy their rest… their slumber will end soon enough, when the time is right.

This realization can be explosive, and in the negative sense, if forced onto someone who is not ready to become awakened. Those minds which are unprepared for this expanded level of awareness should be left alone for the time being. They feel that all their needs, wants, and desires are satisfied by the hallucination of culture and therefore should be left alone for now. Hope however that one day, following their own pace and on their own time, they will feel the pull to take an inner path to self-realization.

With the power that you hold within yourself, do not try to convert; do not try to take off the rose-colored glasses people may have on. As Terrence McKenna said many times, find the others. Find those that have the will, courage, and determination to travel down the path towards self-realization and consciousness expansion. These are the people you should focus on, as they have taken the most difficult step…they have awakened.

Nobody has expressed this undertaking more beautifully than perhaps Pierre Teilhard de Chardin when he said that “there is an almost sensual longing for communion with others who have a larger vision. The immense fulfillment of the friendships between those engaged in furthering the evolution of consciousness has a quality almost impossible to describe.” Remember that everything is energy and if we try to work with individuals who are radiating an energy that is diametrically opposite of ours, serenity and rapport cannot be reached.

Theoretically it may be possible to grab someone by the hand and get them on the inner path (this most often occurs through the use of entheogens). However, the end result is unpredictable and may cost of us more time, energy, and effort than it is worth.

Share, support, and learn from other awakened souls who share the same passion, vision, and quest as you do. You will notice very quickly that the more you converge with such people, the faster you will feel that you yourself will rise into the highest echelons of consciousness. Feeding off each others’ energy, you will climb, you will fly, you will transcend.

By realizing that the power you need in order to become consciously evolved and eventually enlightened is within you, no more will you be fooled by others into believing that there is any single belief system or school of thought that has all the answers.

It’s like the Buddha said, “Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it. Do not believe in anything simply because it is spoken and rumored by many. Do not believe in anything simply because it is found written in your religious books.

Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders. Do not believe in traditions because they have been handed down for many generations. But after observation and analysis, when you find that anything agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all, then accept it and live up to it.”

By empowering the infinite explorer that is your Self, you cease living a shadow of what you are and start living as a liberated soul on a quest to experiencing happiness and bliss as a perpetual state of consciousness that helps shift the collective consciousness of humanity to that very same level.

You are the catalyst for change. You are the awakened that will help transform humanity into something greater. You will be an example of what a consciously evolved human race looks like. Be mindful that everyone is growing at their own pace in their own time.

There is no need to prove anything to anyone that is not ready for blunt and perception-shifting realizations. All good things come in due time. Seek out the others who have already embarked on the inner path and who no longer wish to be a part of a hallucinatory reality.

They are out there, and their numbers grow every day. Seek them out in any way you are able to. With today’s technology, this is easier than it has ever been in history, period. So go on and find the others who also realize that the power is within them. Together, we can live a future that is based on unity rather than separateness…a future where love is more expansive than hate. Say it can’t happen and it won’t. Turn this dream into a reality.

“You Are The Infinite Explorer” by Paul Lenda, May 21, 2015 at http://wakeup-world.com/2015/05/21/you-are-the-infinite-explorer/

With loving greetings from all souls at this station, this is Matthew. Let us speak first about the earthquakes in Nepal in the context of planetary and personal ascension. Mother Nature was dispersing negativity produced primarily by bloodshed and the fearful, dire conditions in which vast numbers of your population are living. If negativity were allowed to accumulate, it would upset Earth’s tenuous balance and adversely affect her ascension course; to preclude that, she is using quakes, tremors, volcanic eruptions and severe storms to release negativity as it gathers.

On a personal level, the earthquakes in Nepal enabled thousands of souls to complete their contracts and ascend spiritually and consciously. This is the goal of every soul, and during this unprecedented time in the universe, multitudes leap at the opportunity to complete karmic lessons in only one lifetime instead of many. Knowing that a major quake in that country would cause many deaths, souls who wanted to balance other experiencing by living humbly and dying traumatically chose to embody there; many more chose to experience the grief and extreme hardships inherent in the aftermath of a catastrophic disaster.

It is so that these events ended the lives of some persons whose soul contracts were not completed or didn’t include that kind of ending. They are granted the three options mentioned in our last message and, along with all others who perished, they received tender, personalized care upon arrival in Nirvana. Some who transitioned due to either event are recovering psychically or their etheric bodies still are strengthening in Nirvana’s customized healing centers; others have embarked upon active, fulfilling lives in your spirit world. The plight of grieving families and friends who are living amidst massive destruction is being eased by the light beamed from Nirvana and far distant civilizations and the light within the outpouring of prayers, compassion and direct assistance on Earth.

The time is coming when souls choose an Earth lifetime not to wind up third density karmic lessons, but for the joy of living in a glorious, beauteous world where multidimensional-selves manifest magnificence beyond your imagining. Beloved Earth family, at soul level you do remember—only consciously have you forgotten that world, where all live peacefully in harmony with Nature; where all know that every soul in this universe is a unique, independent, inviolate being, yet eternally interconnected with everything else in existence. You could think of each and every soul as a drop of water that retains its intrinsic value as it blends with the countless other drops in the sea of Cosmic Creation.

In this moment, however, your world is beset by the Illuminati’s dogged attempts to keep their economic, political and military toeholds. Earth’s energy field of potential is teeming with activity, with high vibrations of light streamers swirling around the low vibrations of the dark as fighting continues and behind-the-scenes talks slog along. Even as the Illuminati’s powers have been weakened beyond any possibility of return, bursts of compatible energy have kept them going.

Nothing in the field is static—there is continuous movement in accordance with the energy of the immeasurable number of thoughts, feelings and actions sent forth from every soul on Earth. If the dark minds and hearts can muster more energy bursts, the decline in their activities absolutely still is assured, but it will keep happening in fits and starts; increasing light will assure that when the decline begins, it will steadily continue downhill. Lightworkers, keep your brilliance glowing!

To all who have asked who the next president of the United States will be, we don’t know. Activity in the field of potential that pertains to individuals now in the race and those who may enter is coming from the media, not the electorate, and forthcoming revelations that will have an impact on candidates naturally will influence voters’ choices.

Is the Illuminati organization responsible for all the pain and suffering in the world or do some of those evil people act on their own? Although we refrain from ascribing “evil” to persons rather than to their deeds, and while some individuals within and beyond the Illuminati do indeed act on their own deranged dark tendencies, the Illuminati “operation,” you could say, has been responsible for all major wars, divisiveness, impoverishment and rampant deception and corruption for the past 265 years or so, after the name Illuminati came into being. It was devised by individuals in Bavaria who felt that they were the most intelligent, knowledgeable and capable persons in the world—the “illumined” ones—and in their self-aggrandizement, they felt entitled to control the lives of everyone else.

As their numbers grew, so did their influence in governments, religions, national economies and trade. They used the industrial revolution to their advantage, and as decades passed, they did the same with subsequent inventions and the planet’s natural resources. Eventually their control spanned the globe and encompassed everything that affects life in your world—from education to entertainment and mainstream media; food production, manufacturing, banking and stock markets to legal and justice systems; weaponry development to military forces and intelligence agencies; healthcare and pharmaceutical and chemical industries to wages, taxation and transportation.

However, by no means were they the first to disempower the masses—they built on a firm foundation of populace control in the hands of a few. Two thousand years ago it was the heads of church and state, whose concentration of power grew through the centuries by papal edicts and arranged marriages within Europe’s royal families. Control was further enhanced by the Italian Borgia and Medici dynasties’ developments in banking and commerce; the emergence of Protestantism; and the British, French, Spanish and Portuguese empire-building through colonizing other countries and subjugating or annihilating the native populations. Shortly after the colonies won their independence from British rule, European control crossed the Atlantic Ocean and infiltrated the nascent United States; and that country’s 1913 Federal Reserve Act cemented the dark ones’ hold on the international economy.

But the lust for power and riches started long, long before your recorded history, when people from Lyra became the first residents on the planet. They went without clearance from the Intergalactic Council and they mined gold without asking the Council’s permission because they didn’t want to share their discovery with other civilizations. Thus, the energy of superiority, greed, deceit, lawlessness and domination that exists in your world today arrived on the planet eons ago in linear time.

Speaking again about the Illuminati, it was formed as a secret society and never has been a “formal” organization with membership enrollment. Most of the people who are doing the bidding of those at the top may not even know the name Illuminati and have no idea that they are aiding ruthless exploiters of humanity. Because the most powerful in the ranks never publicly speak of themselves as Illuminati or acknowledge the global influence they wield, when their reprehensible activities started being discovered, the “group” deemed responsible was commonly referred to as the cabal, elitists or shadow government, and sometimes New World Order or One World Government.

By whatever designation, these individuals have continued what was set in motion long ago, a pernicious march toward world domination. They have no conscience because they are devoid of light except the spark that is their life force, and only when that void is filled with light will they be able to “see the light” and cease their dark activities.

For all that those activities down through the ages have enabled billions of souls to complete soul contracts and evolve, Gaia is weary of her planetary body being a karmic merry-go-round and dealing with the negativity this creates. That is why you lightworkers volunteered to leave joy-filled lives in spiritually- and consciously-advanced civilizations and come to Earth. You knew that you would forget your homelands; your new dense bodies would be vulnerable to injury, illness and disease; you would live in a world of violence, fear, poverty, bigotry, greed and other darkness inherent in a third density civilization. Yet, you came! Because you also knew when you volunteered that your love-light would show the people of Earth the way to halt that merry-go-round.

Many of our messages have included that love—the same energy as light, simply expressed differently—is the key to the kind of world you came to help co-create. Although the words “love” and “light” are frequently used in their various forms in all Earth languages, most people don’t know that this energy is the most powerful force in the universe. You do, but with linear time passing so quickly, you may be hustling too fast to think about how swiftly and easily you are sending forth love-light in abundance.

I asked my mother to copy our conversation wherein we discussed this 20 years ago.

[The following is the “Love in Everyday Life” chapter in the revised edition of Illuminations for a New Era]

Matthew, I thought that by loving people, we automatically send light to them, but now I’m wondering if there’s more to it.

Mother, you’re right that feelings of love for someone carry light to that person, but you’re also right in thinking there may be more to it. So, even though it’s not necessary that you understand the “sending” process for it to be effective, I’ll explain how it works.

Light is within your spirit, the feeling you describe as light hearted when something is giving you joy or you’re remembering something that was special to you. Think how you feel when one of your dogs comes to nuzzle you or you hear one of your favorite symphonies or see a beautiful sunset—it’s as if your whole self is lighting up, and that is what’s happening. You’re actually being filled with light simply by the experience. The light is coming from your soul, connecting with your mind and flowing through your body to produce lovely feelings or an inspirational Aha! You didn’t have to do a thing to get that sensation, and whatever evoked it didn’t have to make any special effort to create your feelings—simply by being receptive to the light, you get it!

Light—let’s call it love, because that’s what we’re really talking about here—passing from one person to another is no different in cause and effect, but you may want to initiate it by focusing on someone. When you do, instantaneously the vibrations in your thoughts and feelings reach that person. The energy flows from you along your thought form of intent and intensity, and the same measure of love that you sent goes directly to the “energy address” you want it to. There can be no “false addresses” because the intent and feelings are totally clear. The receiver won’t consciously know this, of course, but the receiver’s soul is aware of the “delivery.”

I think I understand, Mash dear. You’ve spoken about “light receptivity” but I’m not sure what that means. How can we know if we’re receiving light and how can we use it in everyday life?

Most simply stated, Mother, being receptive to the light enables spiritual clarity that transcends third density’s limitations. Those include prejudice and hatred of differences, acting in greed, judging others for their choices, holding resentments or desiring vengeance, getting ahead by ruthlessness and cheating and lying, controlling others’ lives and denying their free will, blindly following dogma or orders when instinct tells that they are not based in godliness. And the greatest of all third density’s limitations is fear—actually, all of those other negative emotions and actions I mentioned arise from fear.

It’s logical to think that by changing in some of those negative areas, you are being light receptive and growing spiritually. Positive changes certainly are progress, but not to the extent you may think if you still feel fearful about personal or world situations. Spiritual growth is learning to live without fear, learning to fully trust the unequaled power of love.

As for “everyday” use of light—Mother, let’s say love here—the ways are boundless. However, the word “love” is so commonly used that you could say it’s abused, like “I love artichokes” or “I love that song.” So first I’m going to say what love is not.

Food and entertainment can give much pleasure, and I surely am not debasing enjoyments that uplift spirits, but they are not love.

Neither is love the physical attraction of one person to another that leads to anxiety about long-term security in the relationship. Love is not controlling a mate, it is not pitying or worrying about family or friends, it is not professional success, it is not possessions. Love is not dependent upon fame, social status, financial wealth or others’ opinions of you.

Love is not crusading for your beliefs or proselytizing. Love does not require understanding mystical spiritual teachings or karmic components of experiencing or the continuum that encompasses all time and space simultaneously or the laws of the universe.

So then, what is love? In simplest terms, love is God’s sharing of Himself with all of His creations. Love is the healing force of the universe. Love is within the soul and needs only your allowance of those innate sensations of loving others and receiving their love for you. Love has no limitations, no boundaries to its capacity.

In expression, love is treating others with kindness, fairness, honesty, compassion, helpfulness, caring, respect. If love can be said to have “ingredients,” then those are some of the ingredients of godly expression in action.

Knowing that you and God and every other of God’s creations are inseparable is love. Knowing that Earth is a sentient, conscious life herself and respecting all of her life forms is love. Realizing that no one can know others at soul level and therefore does not judge them, but rather does not condone an action seen as injurious, is love.

Listening to one’s godself is love. Living the kind of life that engenders loving self is love. Feeling joy yourself when you see it in others is love. Doing something that brings joy to another is love. Forgiveness of self and others is love. Sharing your resources with full heart is love. Doing good deeds without attaching expectations is love. Feeling peace of heart and mind is love. The quiet thrill of seeing a sunset or hearing a songbird is love, and a smile is one of the simplest and most radiating expressions of love.

In any or all of these instances and many others that you may encounter that instinctively you know are love in action, you are manifesting your love for and of God. Mother, I don’t think I’ve told you anything at all surprising. But perhaps it is good to have some references as a guiding light in these times when darkness may seem to be overshadowing the magnificent abundance of love in your world.

Thank you, Mother. Dear brothers and sisters, please never doubt even for one moment your importance in moving your society toward Earth’s Golden Age abloom in its fullness. We honor your steadfastness in this essential service to Gaia, and our unconditional love is with you every step of your journey.

Matthew Ward’s Message, as received by Suzy Ward, May 23, 2015, at http://www.matthewbooks.com/may-23-2015/

We come in Love to assist all in their evolutionary journey of remembering.

The world appears to be filled with intense images of both good and evil at this time – duality expressed at its best and highest. This is because ever increasing energies of Light are greatly affecting the stability of anything and everything formed of old beliefs and concepts. Rejoice Dear Ones, for it is you doing the heavy lifting that is changing world consciousness – the outer is always a reflection of the inner.

Slowly but surely, a consciousness of Oneness is emerging. More and more people are being intuitively guided to assist man, animals, plants, and the environment of Gaia herself in whatever ways seem to be needed. An understanding of many within One is gradually being born which starts on the unconscious level and then moves into conscious awareness.

Higher dimensional energies are serving to open the hearts of all who are ready, shifting them more deeply into the realization that every person, no matter the color of their skin or language they speak, as well as all life forms, are in and of the One substance and seek the same things according to their level of understanding. These things are peace, harmony, abundance, joy – all facets of Unconditional Love, the Divine essence of all that exists, ever present and always calling.

Often it is only an experience of some seeming disaster that brings this awareness to those still holding tightly to a sense of separation, choosing to live in white towers of self-righteousness and power, and who see themselves as separate and better than everyone around them. When change comes for these people, rejoice not in their seeming “fall from grace” but in the realization that they too are learning and evolving, but doing it the “hard way”.

Today’s message is about Love, a topic spoken of and discussed on all levels throughout the world.

A deep and truer understanding of the Divine nature of Love is vital to spiritual evolution. Love is the activity of Oneness and is the basis for everything that exists. It is the glue that holds together all things and is interpreted and experienced according to the state of consciousness of the individual.

Example: Love, the connecting energy between all things within the One Omnipresent Consciousness, when interpreted through unevolved states of consciousness will manifest outwardly as war, rape, abuse, and all the experiences of duality and separation.

The One has never changed, nor could it ever be less that what it is. It is the state of the individual consciousness as well as consensus consciousness that interprets and manifests how you see and experience the world.

A higher sense of Love is beginning to awaken within the hearts of mankind. Love, the connecting energy between all living things is beginning to be experienced and acknowledged profoundly more than in belief systems of the past.

Most of you have lifetimes in which Love was generally only thought of as something between a mother and child, or perhaps between friends or lovers and often with strings attached. Love was more of a barter and almost never unconditional. Often there was little or no Love in marriages which were simply contracts assuring convenience and safety for two countries, or families. For those of poorer means, it often represented another pair of hands to do the work.

Women were more often than not, considered bargaining chips or simply chattels, a means to an end. Love even in the human sense rarely entered into the picture. When romantic Love did happen, it was frequently discouraged or even forbidden if the union did not fulfil the concepts and beliefs of those in power, be it simple families or royalty.

There has been very little understanding of the real nature of Love except for the occasional mystic. Concepts based in duality and separation have ruled the consciousness of mankind lifetime after lifetime, conditioning and interpreting Love as well as everything else, in very limited ways.

Love is beginning to be recognized as much more than simple emotional attachment. Over time those of a higher state of consciousness tried to reveal Unconditional Love through their words and actions, but for the most part people were unable to embrace that level of consciousness. Your inner work is birthing a new world consciousness and mankind is rapidly attaining an ability to learn about and live Love as the universal and unconditional Truth of being that it really is.

You have evolved and are now ready to accept and integrate the deeper truth of Unconditional Love as being all there is. This must become an attained state of consciousness if you are to move into the higher dimensional energies emerging and available at this time which means awareness and practice on your part. You do not have to have fully attained this state of consciousness in order to move forward, but must have the honest intention to do so. The higher dimensions are dimensions of Love, and cannot be entered still holding fast to a consciousness of separation with all its accompanying judgement and criticism.

The necessity for Unconditional Love occasionally acts as a block for the spiritually ready individual unable to embrace the idea of having to love everyone. When this happens it means there is a misunderstanding of what Unconditional Love really is. It is possible to have Unconditional Love even for those living at very dense levels of awareness once it is understood that Unconditional Love is not an acceptance of their actions nor a lowering into their level of consciousness.

It is not attraction to or acceptance of everyone and everything regardless of how much havoc they may be causing and neither is it an emotional desire to be with the person or place or thing although that can be a part of it.

Unconditional Love is recognition – the recognition of ever present Divinity within all things even when the object does not care a whit about it.

Unconditional Love means every person or situation you become aware of must be seen with new eyes, which in turn trains the mind to interpret in new and higher ways. Begin to visualize a diamond in the heart of every person you become aware of as you go about your day. Make this diamond a symbol representing the person’s innate Divinity, even if you do not like or respect what they represent. The news, the world, the things you hear about or see on TV are all opportunities to practice blessing the world through recognition.

There must come at some point, a realization of Oneness in world consciousness if it is to evolve beyond duality and separation and you are Lightworkers making it happen.

Try and let go of judgement and criticism of appearances for fear, worry, and concern serves to give them a power they do not have and cements whatever illusory energy they do have. This can be difficult for those of you used to actively fighting the negative issues of the world in your quest for change.

You are being asked now to take the next step which is a letting go of resistance, and a moving into Unconditional Love. Your mind will accept this after a while, although at first it will rebel for it has been trained in other ways.

This never means you cannot sign a petition, or take some action you are being guided to take. It does mean that your first action now becomes one of Unconditional Love which may or may not lead you to a next action.

Attaining this state of consciousness and the next step of your journey and you are ready.
