The Manuscript of Survival – Part 356, channeled by Aisha North, September 19, 2013 at http://aishanorth.wordpress.com

As you have mayhaps noticed, the intensity of this stormfront may have left you breathless in more ways than one. We hasten to add that this is in no way a signal of anything negative, far from it. Rather, it is indeed signs of a cleansing and restructuring that will give you many a cause for celebration in the time ahead.

We know that during these storms, celebration may seem to be the furthest thing from your mind, as the effects of these lashing winds of high voltage energy is not to trifled with. But again, this is only a signal of the thorough upgrading and indeed reconstitution this whole planet of yours is receiving at the moment, and a such, celebration will indeed be a thing on the agenda not far from now.

You see, these beings that go by so many different names, most of them with very negative connotations and rightly so, these beings are now no longer able to withstand the pressure of these storm force winds, and as such, they will have to relinquish their hold on the hearts and minds of everyone on this planet. For now, the high pressure hoses have been put into action, and no one trying to escape these jets of light will be able to do so.

As we have said earlier, anyone already facing the sun as it were, will only feel this as a mighty push in the back. But for those scurrying to find a safe hiding place, these jets of high powered light will serve to wash away any hold they might have on the surface of this planet once and for all. For now, the light is coming in at such a speed and with such intensity, it will be like a merciless battering ram against any closed door, and as such, the effects will be more than noticeable.

These words may sound harsh, but remember, the light IS powerful, and it will have seemingly devastating effects to anything not build to tolerate these high vibrations. But again, the light is not out to destroy, merely to rebalance, and as such, whoever is tuning into the light, will be supported by this, not shaken apart. So find a steady ground on which to put your feet, and feel how you are being pushed ahead by these strong surges of light, pushing you ever closer to the Source. And the closer you get, the more you will find yourself at home. For you belong there, as that is where you are all from. And only those still set on turning their back to their true nature will find these times to be almost unbearable.

To everyone else, they will be perhaps more than a little challenging, but they will also be full of exhilaration and joy. For you will shout for joy into these powerful gusts of wind, and you will raise your arms to the heavens and rejoice in the fact that now, you feel yourself lifting as if floating over the ground from the forces that are battering you, reminding you of where you came from. You will not return there just yet, but you will understand that this source is what will be carrying you ever forwards in the remainder of your sojourn here on this planet. For you have much to do ahead, but the travail will be more than outweighed by the joy you will feel whilst undertaking it.

Stephen: I have placed the link to the English translation of the full interview Pope Francis gave to La Civilta Cattolica at the end of this story.

From Reuters, ABC Online – September 20, 2013

http://tinyurl.com/k67gw9u

Pope Francis said the Catholic Church must shake off an obsession with teachings on abortion, contraception and homosexuality and become more merciful or risk the collapse of its entire moral edifice “like a house of cards”.

In a dramatically blunt interview with an Italian Jesuit journal, Francis said the church had “locked itself up in small things, in small-minded rules” and should not be so prone to condemn.

Its priests should be more welcoming and not cold, dogmatic bureaucrats. The confessional, he said, “is not a torture chamber but the place in which the Lord’s mercy motivates us to do better”.

His comments were welcomed by liberal Catholics, but they are likely to be viewed with concern by conservatives who have already expressed concern over Francis’s failure to address publicly the issues stressed by his predecessor Benedict.

Francis, the first non-European pope in 1,300 years, the first from Latin America and the first Jesuit pope, did not hold out the prospect of any changes soon to such moral teachings.

But in the 12,000-word interview with Civilta Cattolica, he said the church must find a new balance between upholding rules and demonstrating mercy.

“Otherwise even the moral edifice of the church is likely to fall like a house of cards.”

In the interview with the magazine’s director, Jesuit father Antonio Spadaro, the Pope also said he envisioned a greater role for women in the 1.2 billion-member church but suggested it would not include a change in the current ban on a female priesthood.

Church should not make homosexuals ‘socially wounded’

In a remarkable change from Benedict, who said homosexuality was an intrinsic disorder, Pope Francis said that when homosexuals told him they were always condemned by the church and felt “socially wounded”, he told them “the church does not want to do this”.

He restated his comments first made on the plane returning from Brazil in July that he was not in a position to judge gays who are of good will and in search of God.

In the interview he added: “Religion has the right to express its opinion in the service of the people, but God in creation has set us free. It is not possible to interfere spiritually in the life of a person.”

The church, he said, should see itself as “a field hospital after a battle” and try to heal the larger wounds of society and not be “obsessed with the transmission of a disjointed multitude of doctrines to be imposed insistently”.

Francis’s approach contrasts starkly with that of his conservative predecessor, who stepped down in February and now lives a withdrawn life in the Vatican grounds.

The Catholic Church teaches that homosexual tendencies are not sinful but homosexual acts are.

The interview took place over three sessions in August. The Pope alluded to criticism of him within the conservative Catholic establishment.

“We cannot insist only on issues related to abortion, gay marriage and the use of contraceptive methods. This is not possible. I have not spoken much about these things, and I was reprimanded for that,” he said.

Pope says church needs ‘feminine genius’

The interview was not didactic and formal, in the way of past popes, but easygoing, familiar and friendly. Pope Francis even spoke of his favourite author, Dostoevsky, painter, Caravaggio and composer, Mozart.

The Pope spoke about the role of women in the church, saying their “deep questions must be addressed”.

“We have to work harder to develop a profound theology of the woman,” he said.

“Only by making this step will it be possible to better reflect on their function within the church.”

He hinted that he was open to giving women greater decision-making roles in the church.

“The feminine genius is needed wherever we make important decisions,” he said.

“The challenge today is this: to think about the specific place of women also in those places where the authority of the church is exercised for various areas of the church.”

Stephen: Philipp, who regularly channels Ashtar,kindly sent this timely message from the Council of Light through. It talks specifically of this wonderful Equinox weekend we now find ourselves in.

Message from the Council of Light: September Equinox 2103 – Rebith.Telepathic transmisison as channeled by Meredith Murphy, September 15, 2013 – http://www.expectwonderful.com

Hello Dear Ones,

So many of you are so tuned in. It is so beautiful to us when you sense subtle energy changes, and trust your perceptions, your sense of things. Even if you cannot totally explain it, even if it is mysterious or the implications unclear, so many of you still feel the truth of the currents now in play and know with confidence what you sense.

You feel subtle energy reshaping and you get the gist of the qualities of what is taking place, you sense the import of things and in this we find so much to be joyous about, for you are really orienting and trusting your inner clarity. And of course, in these subtle senses of things, you are very much right.

This is powerful — your wisdom and trusting of your innate knowing — and this is a very powerful time. Thank you for being brave and heart felt in your living.

The Equinox is a potent portal of initiation into a higher dimensional expression of the leading edge of human consciousness. It marks a substantial shift in the grid, and the birth of newly established grid — a field populated by the emergence of what is often referred to as the New Human. The New Human as a paradigm of embodied, aware, divine consciousness, is arising.

This collective realization of the Christ Consciousness now embodied not just conceptually, but energetically in the full human energy field by those on the leading edge, has created a new system, a group mind in alignment with Divine Will. These New Humans who energetically populate and radiate in resonance with this field of new harmonics, this new matrix of leading edge perspective in form, consciously multidimensional and knowingly divine, is what we are referring to as the Christ Consciousness Grid.

This new framework creates the pathways for these currents of the New Harmonics grounded by these leading edge humans. This energy system will support the further expansion of all individuals on Earth, seed reality with more and more expansive, coherence and order and also begin to transmit and ground the paradigm of the new reality as a collective field. As any of you open to the fullness of your being and to the world, and generate the energetic capacity of this alignment, you move into resonance with this new field.

All-That-Is, is focused upon this shift, because it is the first manifest arrival of the full new human DNA template in form. And activated. Consciously, fully flowing source energy. Able to operate as a whole system as a human energy field. So this is a huge accomplishment to have this arrival approaching and it will position those of you who have worked with your consciousness and your emotions and your expansiveness and your multi-dimensionality, who have reclaimed your knowing of the true divine nature of your being, in an entirely revolutionary way in form.

The aspiration to liberate more and more consciousness in intelligent life systems, such as human energy systems, has been a shared aspiration by many, and a creative focus in the angelic, ascended master and star family collaborations for Earth for what you would consider a very long time. We are, like you, thrilled by what is coming forth.

How all this will develop is a beautiful adventure! A mystery even, for it is new and it is up to you and YOU — the fullness of you! It is unknown how humanity will evolve, change, shift, create and develop and progress as the new collective field emerges and begins to discover more capacity and live as and from this endowment from all that you are. The innate awareness of the Unity of life, and alignment with Divine Will impulsing awakened humans will not only have the influence of powerfully high frequencies, but the clarity and sense of timing that comes from being unified with the intelligent, ordering and harmonious field of their own inner connection to Source Creation.

Those of you who comprise this field will be in a new space where you will then begin to discover the new functionality of your abilities. We anticipate that telepathy and knowing will be increased; manifestation enhanced; clarity sustained; a state of joy and fulfillment stabilized; well-being on a physical level expanding; and that you will then begin to act within Creation on Earth as an Emissary of Divine Will. You will be embodied in a capable Cosmic Form of Being. This upliftment will enable the Human Template to function in alignment with Cosmic levels of intelligence, elevating participation from a personal, local, global sphere into and eventually beyond an galactic sphere into a cosmic connection of universal love and being.

Where it goes from here we, with you, will be most excited to see. It is up to us together to discover the new means of collaboration this will enable for us all and to use this for the benefit of all beings and all that is. This is an enormous, substantial aspect of fulfillment of the divine plan for Earth and populates with human presence, bands of resonance that open Earth for participation in the Cosmic playing field, and with a proper orientation to wholeness rather then the local paradigm of duality.

So this shift in form further empowers the unity paradigm in humanity and is preparation for the Cosmic Participation of Earth as a Global Citizen in an enlarged landscape. How individual humans remember and ground and create from their multi-dimensionality in form is the territory of these leading edge new humans. How each of them sense divine will expressing through their unique essence and begin to utilize the fullness of their being on Earth, and collaborate with other enlightened beings, creating grounded Earthly presences of Cosmic Councils and Fields and Families of light, is the great anticipation we all share.

As all of this takes place, chaos will not only continue but expand. It is natural that this will be challenging for many. Being a presence of peace and developing your inner composure will serve the whole very beautifully in this time, as well as support you in sustaining your connection with all that you are and opening to a fuller and fuller embodied expression of this wholeness.

Increasingly the multi-dimensional is in play within the material and realm of form. At the leading edge where material meets pure potential is the consciousness of the New Human — fluid, present, sovereign, clear and open to all that they are, and open to the world. It is the dawn of a new era. A milestone in the nature of awareness and creation and the potential for the material to be an expanded conscious expression of its Source.

For all of you participating consciously in this awakening epoch, may you absorb the magnitude of your accomplishment. It is important as you integrate this realization that you celebrate the amazing feat you have individually and collectively empowered through your focus and leadership — through the example you are, you will be and you continue to expand into, the way in which you have by virtue simply of your evolving expanding energy field, uplifted others into this new paradigm of being.

We are with you always and we are most excited that you too, are sensing and understanding this great shift into more and more light.

We are the Council of Light.
