Andrew: After a gap of four months, Ashtar returns with a new message via Philipp concerning the Divine Mother’s ‘Tsunami of Love’ – or as Ashtar calls it ‘the Love Transformation.’ Ashtar commences his messages with an intro that is personal to Philipp, but on this occasion Philipp has requested that the personal intro be included …

Philipp: This time, the intro is part of the message to show the reader that the channel is in the same position, that the channel feels like our friends have abandoned him but in fact they are very close but cannot do the job for the channel. We are all in the same boat and, maybe, the reader can identify himself much more with Ashtar’s message by reading the personal intro.

Steve: Apparently a well-known German channel has suggested that Philipp is not channeling Ashtar. But I can confirm that we’ve asked Archangel Michael through Linda (at Philipp’s request) whether he is channeling Ashtar and AAM has said that he is channeling both Ashtar and a group that works with Ashtar (the same as with Matthew, Silver Birch or anyone else).

Ashtar: The Love Transformation. Channelled by Philipp. January 13, 2014.

Dear Philipp, It is not that I have withdrawn from you. You are in a very intense inauguration phase which necessitates that you concentrate on yourself. We never withdraw in such a time [inauguration phase] but we do take a back seat. All those tasks linked to an inauguration phase – and we purposely don’t use the term “tests” since there is too much judgment and fear e.g. of not passing the test associated with it – need your full and undivided attention.

Each inauguration phase is a gift to you and it is only you that can accept and unwrap this present. We know very well how difficult this gift can be. You receive it and you are holding it in your hands, shaking it and wondering what could be inside. You want to unwrap it immediately but you struggle with the tie fastening. Therefore, you go through phases of anger and frustration which could last for days, weeks and even months.

You feel like you are completely alone, abandoned and lost. You are faced with many forms of fear and you feel very disheartened. But then, suddenly, the moment of unwrapping is here. You integrate the gift into your Being, raise yourself above all the difficulties, spread your wings and transform into the butterfly that is the New You. So, next time – when you go through such a phase and experience all the frustration and anger – please know that this is part of the gift to you. It lasts only until the exact Divine moment when you are able to unwrap the gift, when you have integrated all the necessary precursors for being able to enjoy your gift to the fullest extent.

You have noted that the inauguration phase comes to your shore blow by blow. What is the underlying reason for it? You all have heard the information about “the Event”, “the Tsunami of Love”, or whatever term you prefer. I use the term “Love Transformation” since this is all about the transformation of yourself into your true Self which is Love, Love and only Love. There is some preliminary work for you to do before you are able to go through the Love Transformation. But we hasten to add that you have already done most of this preliminary work.

You are rough diamonds which need only some finishing and this is the process you are currently engaged with. The good news is that the current inauguration phases are finishing. And the intensity of this finishing phase shows you how close you are before the Love Transformation will hit you out of the blue! I’d like to emphasize that the Love Transformation is not your Ascension. Ascension, as you all know very well by now, is a process that unfolds step by step. But this Love Transformation is one of the key elements of your Ascension journey.

You will remember your true, sweet Self. It will bring back all your knowledge and the qualities you have accumulated during your journey. You will become your true Self. Can you imagine the possibilities that this gift holds in store for you? Probably not until you unwrap it! Words cannot express how much we are looking forward to the Love Transformation which will clear you of all the old baggage – you are so very close to it.

We congratulate you from the bottom of our hearts that you have not ceased in your work to bring forth this event which is the reason why it is finally here on your doorstep. I wish you and all who are reading these words so much fun in unwrapping of all your gifts. I can barely wait to greet you after the Love Transformation.

With so much Love, Your brother Ashtar

Dedicated to Stephanie Sautter – A departed friend who I haven’t really gotten to know yet.

It’s no secret that death is feared and misunderstood. Most people assume that we stop existing and enter an eternal slumber when the body dies, and the idea of ceasing to exist has driven a lot of people to fear death.

Most spiritual seekers probably understand by now that death isn’t as malevolent as some people believe, but still, the idea of the body dying and the spirit departing for greener pastures can be a little unsettling. I imagine that deep down, even some spiritual seekers have a fear of death, whether or not they understand that it isn’t the end.

One of the biggest fears is that dying is painful, but the material we’re going to examine suggests otherwise.

Apparently, dying can be an ecstatic process that entails a lifting of the lower-vibrational weight that holds us down. Death doesn’t entail an end to this beautiful life we experience, and instead, it helps us understand the density of this reality and opens us up to brimming and colorful etheric landscapes.

Depending on the individual paths of each of us, we cross over to heavenly planes of existence when we die. The material about life after death that’s been given from the other side of the veil paints the realms we depart into as blissful, productive and intensely higher-dimensional compared to this reality.

People who’ve had near-death experiences and glimpsed the other side, like Dr. Eben Alexander, have come back and told us about the incredible things we’ll experience when we cross over (or evolve) from the third-dimensional Earth.

You’re encouraged to look up Dr. Alexander’s Proof of Heaven for a fascinating glimpse into the other side, and plenty of other people have had intense OBEs that let them glimpse the things we’ll experience when we cross over.

I’d like to examine the spirit planes and the blissfulness of death from the perspective of people who’ve crossed over. Just like a lot of books have been written about the other side by people who’ve glimpsed it and come back, a lot of material has been channeled from people who took up residence there.

Like anything else, you’re encouraged to use discernment if channeled material doesn’t resonate with you.

I think that the material offered here is very helpful to anyone who wants to understand what death is like, however, and I think we’re fortunate to have a perspective on it from people who’ve experienced it. You’re encouraged to believe or disbelieve whatever you want, but I think that the material out there centered around life after death is fascinating.

Gordon Burdick through Grace Rosher tells us that the departed are more alive now than they were in life.

“Death, as [you] call it, is nothing more than a new birth. … We are even more alive than before.” (1)

Instead of unceasing darkness, death offers a greater experience of life. I have a feeling that a lot of the things we enjoy about this reality are intensified in the etheric realms, and that harmony and bliss will replace heaviness and anger. The etheric realms will be different for everyone, of course, but what’s given here is intended to be a general guide.

The grandmother of Grace Rosher tells us that beyond shedding our bodies, we don’t actually “die” when we cross over. She also shares her wish that she would’ve understood the gentleness of death instead of fearing it.

“We do not die and there is nothing to fear when the change comes. If I had known what I know now, I [would] have had no fear.” (1)

We waste a lot of time fearing or avoiding death, when all the while, life continues as endlessly as it always has. We don’t have to fear death if we embrace the idea that consciousness is eternal and life continues on forever, and we can make the most of our time here with the understanding that eventually, we’ll reach a much better place.

Mike Swain tells us that being born is actually a much riskier and more fearful process than passing on.

“Believe me … it is ten times more dangerous and unpleasant to be born into your world than it is to leave it! Being born is a painful, risky process and none of us contemplate it with any degree of pleasure. And yet all of you people on the earth fear death.” (1)

It’s interesting and surprising to think that birth is more dangerous than death. With all of the attention we’ve given death – inadvertently by avoiding it or directly by fearing it – it’s apparently a much easier process than entering this world.

The idea that death is more benevolent than birth makes sense, given the belief that this world is much denser and heavier than the realms we’ll depart into. I can imagine that entering this world would be much more painful than exiting it, because in the latter scenario, we’re shedding this density instead of taking it on.

Mary Bosworth through Charlotte Dresser tells us that death will never inhibit the consciousness and growth of the eternal spirit.

“Never be afraid of death. It is only the final sleep of the mortal mind, and has no power to affect the spirit mind. That grows stronger and brighter and more active from the moment of separation, until it becomes so educated and balanced that it is the all-in-all of spirit life. I found it so, for I went to sleep in the mortal mind, and discovered at last that I was more vividly awake than ever.” (2)

After we pass on, we continue growing and developing. It’s been said that progress and soul growth are much rapider on the physical Earth because of its extreme nature, but in the spirit planes, we can probably go about our growth in a more peaceful manner.

Continued from Part 1

We excel to new heights in a steadier way in the spirit planes if we choose to stay there after passing on, but a lot of people choose to come back for reasons related to rapid soul growth and the desire to assist others in awakening.

Mary Bosworth advises us not to worry about death or what lies beyond it, and to enjoy ourselves while we’re here.

“Take no thought nor anxiety for the future life. Have no dread of death, which is only a coming, a rebirth, into this life. Do what you can to help others into an understanding of the immortal life of the human soul, and live in happy contentment and confidence of your future…” (1)

I couldn’t agree with Mary more.

Let’s utilize the immense opportunity we have to be of service while we’re here, and instead of fearing death, let’s understand it as the peaceful and harmonious transition it can really be. Let’s enjoy this physical reality as much as possible without falling into indulgence, because we’ll always remember that life doesn’t end.

Knowing that death is a “rebirth” as suggested here really takes the weight off of our shoulders. Try to grasp the idea that life is eternal; that we’ll continue to live and evolve forever. The spirit is infinite, and the place we’ll go when the time comes is heavenlier than we yet know.

Monsignor Robert Hugh Benson tells us about the unfortunate and irrational nature of our fear of death.

“We have seen the shadow of ‘death’ and the ‘grave,’ those two ogres that frighten so many good souls, filling them with a dread that is utterly and completely unwarranted. Man was never intended to go through his earthly life with this monstrous dark shadow forever hanging over him. It is unnatural and thoroughly bad. It has been raised by men upon earth in remote periods of the earth’s history and it has so continued for the generality of earth’s dwellers for generation after generation of the incarnate.” (2)

Our fear and avoidance of death produces a heavy weight that can be hard to transcend, and as Benson says below, people from the other side feel satisfied when they can convey knowledge about life beyond death to us.

“It is but natural that, with the opportunity presenting itself, we should visit the earth and, by bringing with us a little of the light of knowledge, we should be able to dispel the fears of death of the physical body that haunt so many people and, in place of those fears, give some knowledge and information of the superb lands of the spirit world wherein we now live and wherein you yourself will one day come to join us.

In place of fears of a speculative ‘hereafter’ we try to show you something of the brilliant prospect that lies before you when that happy moment arrives for you to take up your true and undoubted heritage in the spirit world.” (2)

Because of the extent to which they feared death before discovering the realms beyond, some people who’ve passed on want to let us know that there’s nothing to fear and that the other side brims with consciousness and activity. How open or receptive we are to this message depends on us, but they play their part by spreading the word.

A departed soul speaking through Betty Bethards tells us that the experience of death is akin to peacefully going to sleep.

“Death is a change in the rate of vibration. As you go to sleep at night, and your consciousness leaves the physical body, you are experiencing the same thing as death.” (3)

Of course, we should keep in mind that death is a more permanent state than sleep. I suppose what’s being said here is that death is as peaceful as falling asleep, instead of violent and painful, and that our consciousness temporarily leaves our bodies every night in the same way it’ll permanently leave when we pass on.

When the body dies, we’ll feel ourselves float up out of it and we’ll consciously perceive the spirit planes.

We’re then told that we’ll willingly shed our bodies (but not our personalities) when we’re finished here, because from a higher perspective, the human body is seen as a hindrance.

“Your personality, your memory, everything you consider to be you will leave with this energy [upon death] because you are energy.

Once your work is accomplished there is no longer any need to stay in the physical vehicle which you are using on the earth plane. The body is as dust and will return to dust. It takes the energy force of the etheric body, living within your physical vehicle, to produce a being. At death the being leaves, and you could [not] care less about the physical vehicle which is a hindrance, like a prison.” (3)

I don’t think the intention of the above quote is to suggest that we should despise our physical vessel or the dense reality around us, but the consensus among the departed seems to be that shedding the body is as simple as, like others have said, putting on a new pair of clothes.

Whether we acknowledge it or not, we’re spiritual beings having a human experience. The etheric body, sheltered in the physical vessel, simply moves on when it’s ready or when the vessel can no longer be of service.

It’s a simple but powerful shift, and if we choose to, we can undergo the apparently dreadful process of birth and shift right back into this reality to grow and be of service to others. A lot of people believe that we reincarnate continually until we reach a less dense state of consciousness, and the number of lives you experience is your choice.
