Resurrection In A Time Of Awakening_Vision_Johanna Raphael.jpg [ 79.26 KiB | Viewed 3320 times ]

"As human consciousness emerges from the sleep of the ages in which it has rested for a very long time, forgetting its Divine origins and reducing the scope of its knowledge almost exclusively to the realm of the physical, the celestial hierarchies rejoice in the emergence into awakeness of another part of the family of souls, as well as the emergence into greater life of the planetary being that is the Earth.

This time of emergence is one that has been foretold from the beginning, acknowledged in the sacred texts of many religious and spiritual traditions as the Golden Age to come and as the redemption of the Earth. It has, since the beginning, been looked to as the fulfillment of the age-old prophecy of completion and of resurrection into new life and light.

However, the vestiges of the past that are part of humanity's immersion in the density of matter have taken a toll on the consciousness of man and must be released before full emergence into the new light can take place. The residual ways of seeing the world through separated eyes, eyes that experience fear, suspicion, doubt, greed, the hunger for power, the willingness to take from another - these eyes must give up their avarice and, in the letting go, discover that there is no one else to take from, for all others exist as part of one's self."

ETERNAL SUN
by Julie

Come, my Beloved, walk with me.

We shall find the places to go that

are illumined by the Light of the Holy.

Each of us has a part to play,

intertwined with all others.

Each of us has a gift to give that

cannot be felt but in its giving.

Come, and breathe with me,

breathe in the Breath of the One that

infuses all that we do.

For there is no doing apart from this Breath.

There is only the divine Oneness that infuses all,

seeking to bring action to its highest expression,

yet sometimes limited by the channel it flows through.

Still, small or full, all action is an expression

of the one Breath.

Come, my Beloved, let us share together

in the bounty of life.

Let us weep together for those who feel cut off

from this bounty.

Let us give to each other out of that Love that

is one with all, that excludes no one -

that love that shines like the rays of an

eternal Sun that blesses and shines upon all.

"...Beliefs are not truths. They are more of the mind than of the soul. They are more of logic than of the deeper understanding of the heart. Now, in this time of vibrational change and of a reality that is transmuting to something that has never taken place on Earth before, beliefs of the mind can give way more easily to the truths of the heart and soul. Thus, who a person conceives themselves to be can become something entirely different than the idea that they have been holding for as long as can be remembered.

Beliefs are transmutable. This is the understanding that all must hold in order to maintain hope and in order to participate most fully in a changing reality. Beliefs are transmutable, and hope for the world is based on this unfolding process. All who consciously desire an active part in this transformation can assist within the domain of their own lives by knowing that what has been held onto for what may have seemed like forever can now be questioned in favor of a new version of reality, the version of the heart, the version of love."

All things are being prepared now for the homecoming of the heart.
All is in readiness for the reunion of the embodied soul with its Source.

There is a woman I know, when I look upon her, I am reminded of a fairy-like being.

A sweet soul, who endures much suffering in service to Love and the Light.

I have known this kind soul for many a year. She has watched me, and even assisted me as she could, when I was enduring great suffering myself.

Recently she said to me. "Johanna I would like to emulate you". (In how I hold my experiences of suffering - especially the multi-dimensional experiences involving forces of opposition and separation).

And in that tender moment between us I will tell you Dear Readers that I was shocked to hear her share such a heartfelt expression in response to witnessing my path of Purification and holy service.

Later in the day, in the garden I reflected upon our interaction and this came to my heart:

"Dear one, I would like to emulate you in your innocence and humility.

And so I will say as much and more to you now beloved. "I have watched you endure in great isolation and pain - profound experiences of suffering, your devotion and sacrifices moves me deeply. I watch you, - beautiful soul, with an innocent heart so naturally full of joy, struggle to contain energies deeply opposed to love. I watch you and admire your humility.

"The innocence of your love in service to humankind and the Christ touches my heart. I feel your pain and your struggle and I bow to you dearest Sistren of my heart."

with love,
Johanna

In the presence of suffering and pain_Vision and Teaching.jpg [ 90.78 KiB | Viewed 3254 times ]

I was asked recently "Please tell me how to surrender when you have nothing left to surrender?"

This question came from a man who has been struggling with extreme suffering and limitation. He practices the teachings of an anonymous recovery program, lives with the experiences of a bi-polar diagnosis, he has lost everything financially, he lives in abject poverty, filled with physical pain from a spine fused and distorted from years of roofing, a body overweight and bloated from a stomach growth. He has been told he has to wait for a hospital and Doctor who will accept his insurance to even look at the growth. Unable to work due to his disabilities, he scrapes by on what he can find. Some of his family members, some with financial means, choose to lecture him on his suffering "pull yourself up by your own bootstraps", rather than provide even the smallest portion of comfort and support - which leaves him feeling crushed and abandoned. Even still, he continues to look for a way through his suffering, spiritually.

Many people who never thought their lives would turn out with them hitting financial, physical, or emotional rock bottom are finding themselves in similar circumstances and wondering, "How will I get through this?"

It may seem like platitudes, yet I will share with you Dear Readers what has come to me to share in regards to what I have learned over the years through my own experiences of profound suffering, poverty, and limitation.

"Believe God is with you to help you through."

Surrender: It is when we have been emptied, like a cup waiting to be filled, that our lives begin to change. The changes will be incremental at first. Gratitude helps bring them forth. Gratitude in the face of extreme suffering feels impossible, and yet if practiced can bring forth fruits once imagined impossible.

Suffering: What you are going through is building a foundation for the future, rock solid in the experiences of going through the suffering and surviving the experiences with greater wholeness and inner strength.

Suffering and Adversity: You are not your suffering. You are discovering what you are made of, who you are, the truth of who you are, in the face of adversity and suffering. Meaningful and profound insights are being awakened within.

Suffering and The Dark Night of the Soul: Each of us called to do so, must go through our own version of suffering (dukka), also known as the dark night of the soul*, (which can last for months and years for some souls), and the suffering involved. Why? I do not know the answer to why's. What I do know is that by going through the experiences of suffering I endured, it has made me less fearful of life, and of surviving life whatever it shall bring forth to me. I have already lost everything in my life - if I lose it all again I know I will survive. Unlike those who have never suffered as I have, this fear has been taken from my heart and replaced with the trust that I am not alone, and that everything I go through is meaningful.

Suffering and the Truth of Who I Am: I have come through adversity, extreme sufferings, limitations, and poverty and have come to know who I am, the truth of who I am in a new way. I have come to know my strength in, and with God. I have also found that I like who I am and how I AM has made me. As such I there is nothing to compare when I read or encounter those who have money, prestige, power, and all that such a life entails.

The Karma of Wealth: I have found also that many with money and prestige are suffering, for their wealth and power cushions them from both the truth of who they are as embodied souls and sadly, from the reality of the sufferings of millions upon this planet whose collective resources they now 'own'. Theirs is a heavy karma to endure.

"Remain faithful in the presence of helplessness."

The Way-Showers of Navigating the Path of Suffering and Pain: The Beloved Jesus and the Blessed Buddha:

I would rather be poor, caring, kind, and wise, such as the Beloved Jesus or the Blessed Buddha were than have the wealth of a billionaire.

Those who have not walked the path of suffering cannot attain the wisdom and blessings which come forth through the experiences of suffering.

Beloved Jesus embodied path nor the Blessed Buddha's embodied path was one of a fine house, money in the bank, prestige, the latest must have trinket, a nice chariot, or a good job with benefits. Both their paths involved surrender, poverty and suffering, from which they brought forth to the world, the gifts of wisdom, enlightenment, compassion and love, for all the spiritual initiates who would surrender themselves to a similar path, surrendering themselves to the will of the One for them, not their own will.

The Blessed Buddha left a life of luxury and wealth in search of enlightenment and inner peace.

The historical Buddha once summarized his own teachings this way:
"Both formerly and now, it is only dukkha that I describe, and the cessation of dukkha."
http://buddhism.about.com/od/thefournob ... xplain.htm

Going Through the Experiences of Suffering: If you are experiencing suffering, then you are being called, as I was, to go through the ordeal(s) before you. At some point, your ego will stop fighting and surrender. A time will come during your ordeal(s), if you do not give up, in which you will learn the spiritual lessons meant for your enlightenment and wholeness, in the presence of the suffering and helplessness, stillness and eventually trust will be found and anchored within.

Pray for help constantly. Journal. Find teachings which reflect your experiences. Keep a gratitude list,even if it is less than five things per day to be grateful for, write it down. Be wary of 'free market' spiritual practices and principles.

You will have a powerful story to tell and share in the future with others, a reality based tale of hope, born of the wisdom of enduring, and moving through the energies and states associated with suffering through the twofold path of surrender and trust.

"Trust that a way will be made for you. A way will be made through."

Dark Night of the Soul - St. John of the Cross
Quotes by Beloved Julie - these are personal Teachings which I printed on a small card,
many years ago. I carried the card with me for years as reminder in the darkest times
that I will get through the experience(s) and that I was, and am not, alone.
Lastly, I still have a tendency to align with the energies of anger when it comes to the suffering
of others. Those with the ability to perceive these separated energies
will be able to detect the frequencies in my writings.

Anchoring a Consciousness of Peace__OEA.jpg [ 135.47 KiB | Viewed 3221 times ]

Since all that we say carries an energy of one kind or another, it is up to each of us to determine what energies we wish to put into the world for others to be influenced by.

It is up to us to speak a language that will not create violence, but instead will create peace.

Within a spiritual life there are no comparisons.
There is only each one following the call of the Divine to the best of their ability.

The planetary frequencies my body has been absorbing have been dense, violent, raging, angry, and hate filled. Containing these energies in innocence has been difficult at best. Engaging with embodied souls who do not contain these energies, who choose instead to act them out in my presence, un-conconsciously and/or consciously, has been exhausting, overwhelming, and in certain circumstances, draining. The levels of overwhelm and saturation I am experiencing create within me a sense of feeling bound, with no internal space. The pressure of the dense frequencies oppostional to experiences of expansion which I, and other planetary light beings are holding and transmuting, is at times, crushing, feeling unendurable.

There is an aspect of myself Dear Readers which wishes that I was able to contain better, without releasing, but I cannot say this is true - yet. Sometimes, walking and living a spiritual life can look, and even get, messy.

The highest standard one can strive to embody as WayShowers in this time is to seek not to release that which we are containing and transmuting, one moment at a time, in space-time - with compassion.

Whatever is a limitation within you does not make you wrong.
It makes you un-knowing of how to be different.
Pray to know and to heal.

THE PRINCIPLE OF CONTAINMENT
http://www.lightomega.org/Ind/Pure/Containment.html

This message comes forth for those embodied souls who are caught up in, and/or continue to engage with, an anger paradigm:

"It is not uncommon to look at fellow embodied souls who are seeking to find a middle path of peace and feel the energies of contempt and mockery fill your heart and mind as a response.

Know that the energies of contempt and mockery are energies and not the truth of who you are. These energies of separation can inform the content of your thoughts, even more so if you have a tendency to align with emotional and mental frequencies resonant with anger and rage.

Come back to your center, come back to your heart, seek peace at all costs."

"In the presence of the darker energies, it is easy to lose sight of the fact that a choice is possible with respect to how to hold things. The choice for light and God can still be made in the presence of darkness, and though this choice may be obscured by thoughts and feelings that are instituted by the darker energies, both heart and will can be activated to counteract this influence. Such activation can initiate a turning to God and a reaching out for right alignment with the Divine.

Thoughts, feelings, and physical perceptions often claim to have more power than they necessarily have. The point of separation lies in not identifying with them, and in the turning to the reality of God and of God’s love over and over again as the overarching and supreme reality. This turning to God can alter the force of the intruding energies or feelings, as it separates one from complete immersion in their reality and draws one to a more real reality, the reality of wholeness, the reality of the One Divine being that infuses all things."

THE POINT OF CHOICE
http://www.lightomega.org/Ind/Pure/Point-of-Choice.html

SPIRITUAL PURIFICATION
Invitation to a New Reality

Spiritual purification is about truth and about consciousness. It is about bringing truth and consciousness into the body, mind, and emotions in order to link the human and the Divine within us.

We think we are aware of reality 'as it is,' but what we mean by this is often the physical reality that we see, interact with, and relate to. The process of purification looks behind this reality, behind what appears to be solid, and views the invisible world behind the visible in which a universal Creative Force plays a continual role in shaping and defining things from the largest interactions of planets and stars to the smallest interactions within individuals of emotions and thoughts. In both the larger world of the Universe and the smaller world of individual perception, all is energy, all is consciousness unfolding in the direction of greater wholeness.

Purification allows us to take part in a more conscious and active way with this unfolding and evolving picture, both within ourselves and within the greater Whole. It allows us to know that what we have thought was either myth, legend, or fantasy about the spiritual world is entirely real. What brings this change in our perception about is the increased spiritual light that we take in during the purification process and the learning that comes from it. Instead of beliefs about things, we move to experience of things. In this way we come to know, experientially, that the world of spirit, energy, and creative Divine action is entirely real.

Heart Based Responses to the Violence Enacted Upon the Orlando LGBTQ Community
- June 2016

In Mourning and Solidarity, Local LGBTQ Leaders Warn Against Islamophobia

Impacted communities warn against the unleashing of further violence through racist, anti-Muslim hate speech.

Sarah Lazare
http://www.alternet.org/grayzone-projec ... lamophobia

The Muslim Alliance for Sexual and Gender Diversity, which works to support and empower LGBTQ Muslims, declared in a statement released on Sunday, "This tragedy cannot be neatly categorized as a fight between the LGBTQ community and the Muslim community. As LGBTQ Muslims, we know that there are many of us who are living at the intersections of LGBTQ identities and Islam. At moments like this, we are doubly affected."
Cindy Wiesner, Grassroots Global Justice Alliance

"We reject attempts to perpetuate hatred against our LGBTQ communities as well as our Muslim communities," the organization continued. "We ask all Americans to resist the forces of division and hatred, and to stand against homophobia as well as against Islamophobia and anti-Muslim bigotry."
Darakshan Raja, founder of the Muslim American Women’s Policy Forum

"Seeing our brothers and sisters targeted for who they love is sad and tragic," Green told AlterNet. "We need to reject homophobia and Islamophobia. One form of hate can't justify another."
Ashley Green, Tampa Bay-based Florida-Dream Defenders

"...Every time we see legislation that puts a target on the back of LGBT people, every time we hear a preacher that spews hate from the pulpit, every time a county clerk says acknowledging us violates her religious beliefs, it signals that we are less than,” Griffin continued. “That is deeply engrained in the hate and bigotry that motivates such tragedy in this country and together that’s what we must defeat because at the end of the day the same hatred that motivated this attack in Orlando is the same hatred that killed Matthew Shepherd so many years ago and the same hatred behind these killings is the same hatred that was behind the killings at Emanuel Church in Charleston or the temple in Wisconsin. It is the same hate we must all continue to fight each and every day."
LGBT, NAACP and immigration activists powerful statement: You attack one of us, you attack us all

"...The painful truth, the truth to be confronted and repeated, is that his homophobia was born in America, and fostered in America."
