Hilarion: The School of Life upon this Planet is Now Ready to Promote its Members



hilarion2Hilarion: The School of Life upon this Planet is Now Ready to Promote its Members, channeled by Marlene Swetlishoff, October 6, 2013 at http://www.therainbowscribe.com/hilarion2013.htm

Beloved Ones,

The process of the re-evaluation of your lives and what is important for your greater health, well being and happiness and the letting go of all that does not serve you has been uppermost in your hearts. Some decisions are difficult to make as it means a resetting and reformulating of your former priorities and goals. Asking yourselves some hard questions has been helping you to see with more clarity those areas and ways of being that hold you back from moving forward with enthusiasm and joy.

Just remember that the bottom line in each choice that you make is: does this make you feel good about yourself, does it bring more expansion and empowerment to you, do you feel inspired and uplifted, and do you feel a greater sense of freedom when you contemplate the value of a relationship, goal or desire in your everyday life.

As you continue to do this with everything that comes up for review, it lifts away all expectations you may have been carrying within yourself about whether you are doing the right thing or are a part of a project that really does not resonate with your true being and your goal to continue to expand in all areas of your lives. You are finding that sometimes you have been carrying the expectations and energies of others within your being which have created unhappiness within you and you are seeing that it is most important to be true to yourselves in every aspect of your lives. It is most important to give love to yourselves in these instances, to nurture and give yourselves the right to change your direction while honoring the other. In all things the barometer is the love that you feel for yourself.

We are now swiftly moving into a higher dimensional reality and it requires the letting go of the constructs of the old system which kept you from being all that you can be. You are greater in your abilities to master life in a physical body than you give yourselves credit for. You have the same capacity for greatness as those around you who seem to have their lives all together as they confidently present their special gifts to the world. Each of you is unique and special and you have the inherent right to follow the path to your own magnificence. Follow the direction your heart takes you in all that you do and you will find yourselves following the beat of your higher self’s direction and guidance in all that you do.

The path before you is one that was chosen by you before you ever set foot upon this planet. All the challenges and lessons were chosen by you for the purpose of expanding your boundaries and for the honing of your abilities as a being of love who gains back their capacity to be that love in all situations that have come forth. All the tests and trials you have experienced have been given to you with this purpose only; to overcome the temptations of the human ego that were presented to you as you lived your life in your physical body so that you remembered and freely chose to follow the higher path of an evolving soul.

The school of life upon this planet is now ready to promote its members to a higher way of being and doing that follows more closely the path of the enlightened ones who have inspired humanity throughout the ages. You have gained more wisdom, knowledge and experience by having the courage to be a part of this evolutionary cycle than would otherwise have been possible and these qualities of love that you hold that you have polished to diamond brilliance have brought you into a state of readiness to truly be the light of Source within you, the light in the world. Your role now is to keep on keeping on to spread the light and to spread the joy.

Until next week…

I AM Hilarion

Jennifer Hoffman: What Do You Resonate With?



jennifer-hoffmanJennifer Hoffman: What Do You Resonate With? October 7, 2013. http://enlighteninglife.com/

During a commercial advertising a new movie, I heard the announcer say ‘Everyone will resonate with this film.” That really got my attention, not because I think the film is good but because they used the word ‘resonate’. It means to be aligned with, at the same frequency of, sharing a vibration, and is a term that has defines our new ways of connecting with each other. Resonance is our way of determining how we connect with people and situations and what we can connect with because now, more than ever, if there is no resonance there is no possibility or potential for connection.

When everyone was at more or less the same energetic level and frequency we didn’t think about resonance and there was really no reason to. There were people and situations we naturally gravitated towards and others we avoided, things that made us feel good or bad, and that we liked or disliked. But because we now know ourselves as energetic beings our awareness of different frequencies and vibrations is much stronger.

The gift of our enhanced energetic awareness is a heightened sensitivity to the differences between frequencies, as well as the unlimited supply of frequencies we can choose from. And this new focus makes it difficult, if not impossible, to resonate with what doesn’t match our own energetic frequency. This takes all connections down to the level of frequency and vibration, and it’s where we choose who we can and cannot connect with, based on what we resonate with.

For some this may be a sad realization that we have transcended our 3D blissful ignorance of everything but how we ‘felt’ about someone or something or how we would previously take action based on our commitments, responsibilities, or obligations. Now it’s about resonance and energy and every connection we make will be in response to one of two questions:

1. Do I resonate with this (person, place or thing)?

2. Can this (person, place or thing) be aligned with my energy and is there a place for them/it within my energy field or energetic space?

Once upon a time we would hold energetic space for those with different energy frequencies, giving them a chance to ‘catch up’ to us or achieve a similar level. We can no longer do that because the energetic differences are too big and the burden is on each of us individually to choose our frequency and what we resonate with. While giving someone the gift of holding energetic space for them was something we chose to do as part of our healing path with them, it’s something we can no longer do because it interferes with their path and ours too.

We are now deep within a transition that only has forward motion. There is no turning back and there is no ‘back’ to turn to. The most dense aspects of the 3D paradigms are gone and more of them are falling away every moment. They’re being replaced by a new array of lighter and higher frequency paradigms that are available for us to investigate and choose what matches our energy and what we resonate with.

This is why we can no longer hold energetic space for others because then they cannot choose what resonates with them, they will choose what resonates with the person who is holding space for them. And it’s something they cannot sustain, has no value or meaning for them, and doesn’t resonate with them, their life path, energy, or life purpose.

Resonance is an aspect of multi-dimensionality that we must learn to use. It’s part of our new Earth paradigm and it is the point from which we will create everything in our life from this point forward. It will be increasingly difficult for us to be aware of, choose, and connect with something we do not resonate with.

When we use resonance to make our choices we remember that everything is energetic and making choices based on resonance keeps us within the scope of our intention so that everything we manifest is an aspect of our most powerful, heartfelt intentions for ourselves and our life.

The Great Circle of Being



Spirla 45

The release of Linda’s audiotape of the Divine Mother convinces me that it’ll be a wiser use of time to discuss the upcoming “events” than the Divine Plan. Perhaps another week.

On Monday we’ll have the Divine Mother as our guest on An Hour with an Angel. Perhaps you’d permit me to look at some aspects of the Divine Plan and purpose of life in preparation.

Life can be usefully conceived of as a great circle of being, one half of which leads to greater and greater density and the other half of which leads to greater and greater subtlety.

The first half of the circle is us divine sparks or star children emerging from God, the great central sun (and beyond that the great Void), into the world. The second half is us leaving the world and returning to God.

I think Jesus was referring to this great circle when he said: “I came forth from the Father, and am come out into the world: again, I leave the world and go to the Father.” (1) That’s a succinct description of the great circle of being.

Life in the Third Dimension consists of lifetime after lifetime. In the Fifth Dimension we leave behind the need to die to change our physical form. We continue to evolve spiritually but without the inconvenience of needing to be reborn.

Restricting ourselves to the second half of the circle, the return to God, our progress is not simply that of a circle. The individual proceeding through lifetime after lifetime travels in Spiral Circlea spiral, the meaning of which is that the individual returns to the same situation again and again to learn the lessons it contains. But they return to it at higher and higher levels of understanding.

All of life from the time we leave Third Dimensionality will see a progression into further and further lightness of being, refinement, and formlessness.

We’re like a Babushka doll, with the physical body on the outside and the spark of divinity on the inside, nested within further and further bodies – the etheric, the astral, the mental, the causal, etc.

However, and I won’t be developing this analogy because it’d be too complex to be enjoyable, we’re actually like a reverse Babushka doll. The physical body is on the inside and the larger and grander bodies are progressively “outside” of the physical.

Hmmmm…. Difficult matter to put in words…. Not “outside” physically – and all bodies are on different dimensions.

We tend to think of the material or Third-Dimensional body as substantial, the real thing, the heart of the matter and higher-dimensional bodies as copies with fewer and fewer organs and more and more subtlety of form.

It’s as if the higher-dimensional bodies are a refinement on the basic design, which is the Third-Dimensional body.

But Archangel Michael has been chipping away at that view by reminding us that we came from those higher-dimensional bodies into the Third Dimension. Our earlier bodies are the more refined, the bodies we “left” as we descended into matter.

That’s also why the Divine Mother told us at Joshua Tree that we’re not coming into a “new you”; we’re returning to an “old you.” Yes, our original Us, our original face.

It isn’t that we’re aspiring to be angels. We were originally angels, who agreed to live an experiment in form. Now we’re returning to our former dimensions, not coming into them for the first time.

So this material body is not the heart of the matter, but rather the farthest reaches perhaps (perhaps not), of our journey out from God.

God is the heart of the matter and God is who we are. We’re at a masked ball and God is wearing all the masks and playing all the parts. And our assignment is to remove the mask and know ourselves as the One God.
zen-circle 44

The fact that the return portion of our spiritual evolution is a progress from density to subtlety is reflected in how we experience God, as Sri Ramakrishna tells us. We move from seeing complicated forms of God to eventually seeing only formless light. While he talks about power and glory here, the same could be said of a movement from form to formlessness.

“The more you advance toward God, the less you will see of His glories and grandeur. The aspirant at first has a vision of the Goddess with ten arms; there is a great display of power in that image.

“The next vision is that of the Deity with two arms; there are no longer ten arms holding various weapons and missiles. Then the aspirant has a vision of Gopala [the baby Krishna], in which there is no trace of power. It is the form of a tender child. Beyond that there are other visions also. The aspirant then sees only Light.” (2)

It is only God who assumes all these forms for our education in who we are.

“Brahman [God] may be compared to an infinite ocean, without beginning or end. Just as, through intense cold, some portions of the ocean freeze into ice and the formless water appears to have form, so, through the intense love of the devotee, Brahman appears to take on form and personality.

“But the form melts away again as the sun of knowledge rises. Then the universe also disappears, and there is seen to be nothing but Brahman, the infinite.” (3)

“Know for certain that all forms are the forms of the one God alone.” (4)

Sri Ramakrishna has seen the Formless take on form and then melt back again into formlessness. He often described it.

“Once, while I was meditating in the temple, screen after screen of Maya was removed from my consciousness. Mother showed me a Light more brilliant than a million suns. From that Light came forth a spiritual Form.

“Then this Form melted away into the Light itself. The Formless had taken Form and then melted again into the Formless.” (5)

These moments are so sublime that when he tries to describe them he loses consciousness.

“I saw everything passing from form to formlessness. I want to tell you the things I saw, but I cannot.” (6)

“Sometimes I think I shall tell you everything about what I see and feel when that mysterious power rises up through the spinal column. When it has come up to this, or even this (pointing to the heart and throat), somebody stops my mouth, as it were, and I am adrift. I make up my mind to relate to you what I feel when the Kundalini goes beyond the throat, but as I think over it, up goes the mind at a bound, and there is an end to the matter.” (7)

In another article, I’ll look further at how the awakening of the knowledge of our true identity is the goal of all this. One would think that love or expansion or grandeur would be the end, and they are accompaniments of it. But in fact knowledge is the end, the knowledge that we are God.

Malala shares her story

Malala Yousafzai: 'Death Did Not Want to Kill Me'


Young girl who survived being shot in the head by the Taliban talks to Diane Sawyer.

Watch video: Malala Yousafzai: 'I Wanted to Live My Life As I Want'

RELATED CONTENT

A year ago this week 15-year-old Malala Yousafzai was brutally attacked on her way home from school -- shot in the head at point-blank range by the Taliban.

One year later, the shot heard round the world has given birth to a movement of change -- a movement to educate girls, and the little girl from Swat Valley in Pakistan has become an international symbol of courage and hope.

"In some parts of the world, students are going to school every day. It's their normal life," Malala told Diane Sawyer in an exclusive interview for ABC News. "But in other part of the world, we are starving for education ... it's like a precious gift. It's like a diamond."

A diamond she was willing to risk her life for.

Malala was 11 years old when the Taliban came to her hometown in Swat Valley in northwest Pakistan. Suddenly fear was everywhere. The town's public square was nicknamed "Slaughter Square" because of all the beheadings and corpses. Women were publicly flogged. And Malala's own father was targeted for death because he spoke out against the Taliban and for educating girls.

"At night when I used to sleep, I was thinking all the time that shall I put a knife under my pillow," Malala told Sawyer. "The time was of fear, but some people can overcome fear and some people can fight fear."

And while others cowered in fear, Malala -- named for a famous Afghan woman warrior -- was filled with courage. When the Taliban issued an edict banning all girls from going to school, she spoke up when no one else would. She blogged about the Taliban attacks on schools for the BBC, and even appeared in a New York Times documentary, saying defiantly: "They cannot stop me. I will get my education -- if it is in home, school, or anyplace."

Even though she knew there had been threats made against her, she says she never expected the Taliban to harm a young girl. But she did rehearse in her own mind what she would do if attacked.

"It was always my desire before the attack that if a man comes ... I would tell that man that education is very important," Malala told Sawyer. "I will tell that man that I even want education for your daughter."

"And you think that would work against a gun?" Sawyer asked.

"I thought that words and books and pens are more powerful than guns," Malala answered.

And on Oct. 9, as she and her friends were singing on the way home, playing the sides of her school bus like a drum, she never imagined that the young man who boarded the bus and asked "Who is Malala?" was an assassin sent by the Taliban to kill her.

"On the day when I was shot, all of my friends' faces were covered, except mine," Malala said.

"It was brave, but was it wise?" Sawyer asked Malala.

Malala answered: "At that time, I was not worried about myself. I wanted to live my life as I want. "

She doesn't remember the man pointing his Colt .45 and firing three bullets at point blank range, but her best friend told her: "You said nothing and you were just for -- you were just holding my hand and you just squeezed my hand, like you were just forcing it. And you said nothing."

Bleeding heavily, unconscious, Malala was rushed to a local clinic, then to a hospital where a military surgeon saved her life by removing part of her skull as her brain began to swell. She was transported to a military hospital, and then days later airlifted to England. She calls it her "seven days of coma dreams."

"At the time, I was -- thinking that am I dead or am I alive?" Malala said. "If I am dead, I shall be like -- in a graveyard. And then but I said, like, you are not dead. You can talk to yourself. How can you be dead? Then I said, 'You are alive.'… just hope. One day you will wake up."

Today, after numerous surgeries and intensive physiotherapy, Malala is attending school in Birmingham, England, and says she is "totally recovered." She says she loves music, drama and physics -- and remains extremely competitive.

"Still I want to be the number one," Malala said. "And -- I want to be the number one in every field."

In the past few months Malala has been honored by human rights organizations around the world, yet she says she's a bit embarrassed by all the attention.

"I'm feeling that I'm just getting older," she told Sawyer. "I'm 16 now. No one is accepting me as a child."

Still, Malala is eager to do magic tricks and card games with Sawyer, even showing off her special talent.

"I'm double-jointed because I can do this with my hands, see?" she exclaimed, bending her fingers back almost double. She asked Sawyer if she was double jointed too, and then admonished her: "Why don't you practice?"

She also told Sawyer that she misses her friends and her home in the Swat Valley -- "paradise on earth" she called it. She said she wants to return to Swat, and said she's been reading "The Wizard of Oz."

"Yes, there's no place like home. And I believe it," she said. "If you go anywhere, even paradise, you will miss your home. And I do miss my home."

"But won't it always be too dangerous?" Sawyer asks.

"I think life is always dangerous," Malala said. "Some people get afraid of it. Some people don't go forward. But some people, if they want to achieve their goal, they have to go. They have to move. ... We have seen the barbaric situation of the 21st century in Swat. So why should I be afraid now?"

"Do you know how close you came to death?" Sawyer asked.

"I think death didn't want to kill me. And God was with me," Malala said. "And the people prayed for me… And now I know that you must not be afraid of death. And you must move forward. You must go forward, because education and peace is very important. "

You can see Diane Sawyer's exclusive interview with Malala Yousafzai on ABC's "Good Morning America" at 7 a.m. ET, and on "World News with Diane Sawyer" at 6:30 p.m. ET on Monday, Oct. 7. Don't miss a special primetime hour on Malala, "Unbreakable," airing on "20/20," Friday at 10 p.m. ET.

Syria: US and Russia Agree, Chemical Weapons Destruction on Track

By Associated Press in Bali, Indonesia, The Guardian, October 7, 2013

http://tinyurl.com/lsx5wx2

The United States and Russia are “very pleased” with progress in destroying Syria’s chemical weapons stocks, US secretary of state John Kerry said on Monday. He offered some rare, if qualified, US praise for Syrian president Bashar al-Assad.

Kerry, speaking at a press conference with Russian foreign minister Sergei Lavrov, said the Assad regime deserved credit for its speedy compliance thus far with the UN security council resolution calling for the elimination of the weapons. But Kerry stressed Assad was not yet off the hook.

“Let me be crystal clear,” Kerry said, “we’re very pleased with the pace of what has happened with respect to chemical weapons.”

He noted that experts had started the process of destroying the stockpiles on Sunday, just over a week after the United Nations security council and the international chemical weapons watchdog acted.

“I think that was a terrific example of global co-operation, of multilateral efforts to accomplish an accepted goal and they have moved with equal speed to get on the ground in Syria and begin the operations,” he said.

“I think it is also credit to the Assad regime for complying rapidly as they are supposed to,” Kerry said. “We hope that will continue. Now, I am not going to vouch today for what happens months down the road. But it is a good beginning and we should welcome a good beginning.”

Kerry and Lavrov met on the sidelines of the Asia-Pacific Economic Co-operation summit (Apec) on the Indonesian island of Bali.

Lavrov said the Assad regime, an ally of Russia’s, was co-operating fully. He stressed that the Western- and Arab-backed opposition must also comply and must ensure that chemical weapons not fall into the hands of extremists. Russia has accused the opposition of being behind the chemical weapons attack on 21 August that most countries blame on the regime.

“The responsibility is not only on the Syrian government, but also on the opposition and all the states in this sphere should of course not allow these weapons to fall into the hands of non-state actors,” Lavrov said.

Kerry and Lavrov said they continued to make progress on preparations for an international conference to help set up a transitional government for Syria. The United Nations has said it would like to host the meeting in Geneva in mid-November. The meeting has been repeatedly delayed but Kerry and Lavrov said they hoped the rough date would hold.

Lavrov said the Syrian government had agreed to take part in the conference and urged the US and other supporters of the opposition to convince Assad’s foes to attend. The opposition is splintered and has been unable so far to produce a delegation that could go to Geneva.
