The Sacred Moment

Notes From Retreat.

Dear Readers,

I am still on retreat but able to briefly post today. This retreat has been a time of encountering the energies of death. Spiritual death, energies which seek death,feeling as if I am dying, and the cries of the deaths of hundreds, as well as the journey to death of someone one very dear to my heart.

Within the first days of my spiritual retreat the following guidance came to me. A few days later the post on the energies calling me towards death, and then the energies came forth to take the photo for the Prayers for the Suffering of the Beloveds. I am at a loss to say more about what this all means, but I felt in my heart to share the following with you Dear Readers. Faithfully, I am doing so.

As I go through this spiritual transition the energies are bringing forth an unusual amount of physical pain. Oddly, all through the right side of my upper body, extending down into my right hand just as the hand in the vision from the former post. I do not feel this spiritual retreat is over yet, so it may be some time before I post again.

with love,
Johanna

Guidance From I AM

"Johanna, fear not for I AM with thee.

Johanna, in the quiet thou shall hear Me.

Thou is with Me."

(Johanna speaking): Why do I feel as if I am dying?"

"Death of the self in service to the life of the soul. A path, a way is being made daughter."

(Johanna speaking): Is this my mind self-comforting my emotions?

"Yes. Comfort to bear that which you are to endure.

The Voice is Mine, the comfort yours. The mind, My channel to you daughter.

Daughter of life - fear not this death which approaches thee. For I AM and I AM with thee.

"Always daughter, with thee.

Rest and wait upon My Word daughter."

"Johanna"

(Johanna speaking): Yes?

"That which ails thee is sent."

(Johanna speaking): By who - whom?"

"By that which would separate thee from Me.

To keep thee compounded by fear and ail.

That which you shall do you shall do through Me.

For I AM the Giver of Life."

(Johanna speaking): What should I do?

"Wait.

Wait upon My Word.

Rest in My Word."

"Thou art My daughter. Thou art of My Life.

Fear not that which would hasten thy death.

For I AM The Light of Life."

"Gentle daughter fear not, for I AM and I AM with thee."

"Blessed art thou who faithfully serves Me."

"No daughter your mind makes this not up."

"Rest and wait upon Me."

I seek to live and the energies of darkness I contain and hold seek to kill me.

I seek life and the energies of darkness seek my death.

God decides.

New Spaciousness

Received by Mashubi - September 06, 2019

https://www.worldblessings.net/public/N ... usness.cfm

Dearest Beloveds,

A new spaciousness has been created within the energy body of the Earth, with significant energies of darkness having been released so that the New Earth can literally breathe more deeply in the holy light that is growing daily within her embodied reality.

There is some disorientation that comes with such a strong change, that has loosened previously entrenched energies, and created new currents of motion.

What was stagnant now has the possibility to be transformed and transmuted, and many projects of light on the Earth may move forward now in ways not possible before.

There are some more profound energies of darkness still awaiting release, but a major step forward has been accomplished for planet Earth and all beings that live upon her and as a part of her.

May all beings be blessed, Amen.

Hello Dear Readers,

Before I began typing I asked for guidance if I was to begin writing again on the One Earth Awakening Forum or if this transition and the energies of death I am encountering through this retreat were still active and in need of my full attention.

The answer came as I began typing the first paragraph under Gratitude: The Prelude To Greater Awarenesses Of The Experience of Grace in the following post. A female scarlet tanager (yellow/olive) died by flying into the window to the left of where I was typing.

The energies of death - transitioning - continue to be active. As such, I will await faithfully for the time when I can begin posting again, and will continue to focus my energies on this spiritual retreat.

with love,
Johanna

Notes From Retreat:
Protection From Suffering And GRACE

Hello Dear Readers,

Many a spiritual adept or those on a spiritual path have asked me over the years after I share of my energetic sensitivities "Why can't you protect yourself from these energies?" Some may ask "Why can't you create a spiritual bubble of protection?"

I believe I have written about this previously. What I will share with you Dear Readers now is what has come to me most recently.

For years, the only answer I could provide was that I was not able to. Experiences and the teachings of Guruji-Ma had given me insights into my particular challenges regarding the energies of limitations, suffering, poverty, pain, loneliness, and separated energies rearing as dysfunction and chaos.

These experiences manifested during the peak self-help era, as well as the prosperity era, and the "you can will your mind to do anything era's of spiritual awakening and conscious embodiment and manifestation.

Naturally, these questions, my ability and vulnerability to not have an answer, and the suffering I experienced in the presence of these energies triggered unpurified energies within that were prone to align with self-doubt, self-negation, and low self worth. Obviously, I would think to myself, my suffering was a result of something being wrong with me.

Even as this is true, I have persisted in honouring my truth about the intensity of energies which affect me multi-dimensionally as well as the levels of darkness they carry.

The honouring of my truth has come at a cost to my ego - pain, shame, and the realizations of the self which aligns with that which is not Light, as well as my health. The barrages of energies have tested the very boundaries of the health of my nervous system, liver, heart and immune system. They have tested the very boundaries of my sanity and my perceptions of what I believe to be reality.

Many years later, the answer of why I cannot 'protect' myself from the energies of darkness, energies of separated consciousness, has been given to me.

Experiences-OF-Grace_JohannaRaphael.jpg [ 57.49 KiB | Viewed 2172 times ]

By going through those experiences - whilst surrendering to the Will of the Divine to the best of my ability - as presented to me through realities manifesting through and around me a fertile environment for the energies of Grace were growing in my life. Not just outside of me as Grace coming forward in circumstances, but inwardly, perceiving Grace in the presence of suffering, limitations, and the energies of darkness.

Guruji-Ma embodied my first conscious experiences of embodied Grace in my early years of spiritual awakening. To this day, this has not changed. There were many others including members of the Light Omega community who embodied the energies of Grace. Also, in retrospect, I am able to view a larger perspective of events I have endured and moved through, and when I look back I am aware of often seemingly random souls who helped me through many a dark night.

Grace was always growing and expanding in and around me, yet all I was aware of was the pain I was in, the limitations crushing my very spirit, the agony of the energies which would disable me. Even as I began to embody the teachings of the Purification Process and for many years after embracing these teachings, I continued to perceive Grace as a random experience which manifested within the chaos of what I was enduring. Grace manifested as help and as love, but the shame and guilt I was engaging with blocked the fuller experiences of Grace awaiting me.

Gratitude: The Prelude To Greater Awarenesses Of The Experience of Grace

Gratitude was something I needed to consciously practice daily with lists when I was and was not consumed by energies ravaging my heart and nervous system. Yet these lists, which were helpful, were not fully heartfelt. In time the lists left the mental realms and entered my heart, even as this is true, there was a separation between what my heart was feeling and the experience of Grace. Through Guruji-Ma's examples and teachings, gratitude became an experience in response to Life. Eventually, these teachings took hold in my spiritual consciousness, and in the moment, in time, no matter * the experience which were manifesting, trust, surrender, and growing experiences of perceiving Grace in the presence of suffering grew.

Guruji-Ma's examples of Grace expressed with the One opened my inner eyes and heart to witness and become one with the sacred, the beautiful, the loving - Grace, for it's presentness, with honour, devotions, and gratitude.

This leads to 'protection'. I am unable to protect myself from the energies of darkness and separation for I must go through the experiences these energies bring forth with God.

Within this realization is where the answer of why I cannot protect myself comes from. I am unable to protect myself because Grace is already protecting me. There is no need for that which my will could or would do, for the power of Grace is stronger and more powerful than that which the will could or would manifest.

Grace is protecting me through its benevolence, moments of kindness with those I love and more especially with seemingly random strangers. Grace is protecting me in the darkest moments through experiences of love, gratitude, and however seemingly insignificant to the mind experiencing pain, moments of spiritual upliftment. Grace does not take away suffering, Grace inspires us through suffering.

By recognizing and honouring what I am unable to do or manifest, and surrendering to what is, by trusting, asking for guidance, waiting, praying, and paying attention in the moment to the best of my abilities to what I can be grateful for and to what energies my heart or mind is aligning with, in the sacred moment, I am able to perceive the energies of Grace. I can perceive the energies of Grace and know that all is as it is meant to be, that I can trust, that love is always with me, and feel the sacredness, the holiness, the awareness's that come with being alive, being a soul embodied, with Grace. With God. With the Divine Infinite.

Grace removes the need to control, it expands the space to let go, to trust in the Divine, no matter how painful the experience may be, I AM is with me, Grace surrounds me, and I am loved.

with love,
Johanna

Service and Sacrifice – Guruji-Ma

Beloved Ones,

I would like you to understand something about the difference between ‘service’ and ‘sacrifice,’ since the first is a word that most of us could accept in a positive way, while the second often brings up frightening thoughts or feelings. ‘Service’ relates to the willingness to help a desired goal be achieved. Within the spiritual realms, there are many who are in service both within form and beyond form. ‘Sacrifice’ involves the willingness to suffer in relation to achieving such a goal, and it is this willingness to suffer that is so feared by the ego-mind and that must be met by a strengthening of the motivation within the soul.

True sacrifice, used in a spiritual context, is based on love of sufficient potency that it allows pain, deprivation, loss, or limitation to be less important than the accomplishment of a goal or aim. True sacrifice is taken on by many people without their conscious awareness, having been chosen at the soul level prior to having taken birth. True sacrifice involves the capacity to identify with the needs of all rather than with the needs of self. In its deepest root, it is upheld by the conviction that only God is real and that all is God. Awareness of this allows one’s personal pain to be less important, and the goal one is pursuing to be more important.

Beloved Ones, neither service nor sacrifice need to be feared, for what is relinquished of the human desire for comfort is met by the strengthening of Divine union. True sacrifice is not chosen by the mind or by the ego, but only by the soul that seeks to fulfill its own purposes for having taken birth. Thus, it is a very individual matter, and not something you debate about with your mind.

I offer these thoughts to you in order to help dismantle the fear that exists around the word ‘sacrifice,’ so that you can know that beneath what appears to be the pain of great limitation. is the joy of an even greater love.

Guruji-Ma

Brothers of Dominion

The Brothers of Dominion seeking the sacrifice of the sons and daughters of Liberty in service to the cults of coin and death.

Woe O Nation, woe.

Who Shall Pay Homage

Who shall pay homage and kiss the ring?

"It's patriotic", We The People are told.

"Why it's the new thing!"

The health of the nations and planet offered in sacrifice to the cults of coin and death.

Breath daughter. Breathe and be easy.

Warnings you bring, prophecies not pleasing.

Note: Sacrifice, the offering of the self, in service to humanity, Love and Light, which can bring about some form of suffering so that another, or others ,may thrive is a decision that a soul embodied takes upon themselves.

Sacrifice of peoples or groups of peoples in service to power is of a very different vibration and experience, often presented as sacred, yet in fact, separated from the sacred, Love and Light.

A New Time for the Earth

Guruji-Ma

The land is crying out. The oceans are crying out. The atmosphere is crying out. The people who can no longer live next to the sea that has been the source of their livelihood are crying out. Those who are immobilized at the bottom of a vastly unequal economic pyramid are crying out. Those indigenous peoples who have been dispossessed of their lands and their culture are crying out. They are all asking that the ‘culture of indifference’ stop. They are all pleading with those who have more to no longer believe that “survival of the fittest” is an ecology that humanity can continue to live by.

We, who are more comfortable, whether physically, financially, emotionally, or spiritually, need to hear the cries of the suffering, and not only of the suffering people but of the suffering oceans. of the suffering rivers, of the suffering air that we breathe. We cannot afford to continue to lead a comfortable life as if we are entitled to it, with all the cries around us asking that we pay attention. And what attention shall it be? What is there to do in the face of such a vast amount of suffering?

It is to reclaim our humanity which allows us to bear the suffering of others, of the earth, of the oceans, in the fullness of our love. It is to not separate ourselves any longer into the limited and tiny enclaves we have created for ourselves in order to feel more secure, more protected from outer challenges. There is a truth that we have not wanted to face and have been unwilling to face because it means abandoning our insular sense of security.It is to know that ‘we belong to each other.’ That the earth’s suffering belongs to us and our suffering belongs to the earth. That the ones who are having to relocate because the fish that they once harvested are no longer plentiful belong to us. That the trees in the forest that are being cut down to make room for profit-making agriculture belong to us. We need to feel their pain and carry it with us.

In order to do this, we have heard it said that our heart needs to grow larger. This is true, but what does it mean? It means that our sense of wellbeing needs to come not from things being pleasant, or easy, or smooth, but from our love and compassion growing so large that it sustains us and spreads outward. This is the wellbeing that we need to bring into the world – the willingness to redefine what being ‘human’ means in terms of the amount of love we share with others, with the earth, with all creatures, and the amount of compassion we allow ourselves to feel for the suffering of all.

The time for complacency and insularity has long passed. The cries of the earth are getting louder and louder each day. This is not a metaphor or a fairly tale, but the progression of massive ecological changes leading to species extinction, loss of habitat, and endangerment of the planet as a whole. Do not think that there is an easier way than listening to the cries that resound in your ears. There is no easier way. The way of love must become the basis for our life together. The way of love allows us to witness suffering, to bear it, and to find the highest and best means of dealing with it. Do not believe that you have come to the earth at this time just to witness the earth’s problems and suffering without being able to do anything about it. You have come here to help, and your help needs to begin by abandoning indifference and opening your heart more fully so that you can help carry the pain of the world.

This is not a message of sadness but a message of joy and of transformation. For in the opening of the heart, and in the abdication of our willingness to be indifferent, we possess the most effective means for changing the suffering of the world and bringing about a new time for the earth.

Hello Dear Readers,

Energies transforming through my body continue to create a need to focus on being still, resting, and reflecting.

The difficulties I encountered this morning posting inform my mind that the time has not arrived yet for me to continue with the sacred tasks I love pursuing, such as posting on this beloved forum.

I feel the energies of Light growing within my heart as Grace daily even in the presence of difficulties and challenges.

I will post when I am able, it seems my ability to do so during this time of retreat occurs within the energies of Light expanded when Guruji-Ma shares a sacred teaching with us all.

with love,
Johanna

Bear with Love that which is to come,
do not allow the energies of darkness to weaken your spirit.

Hello Dear Readers,

There seems to be more collective moments of inner strength upholding me so that I may move forward with posting on the One Earth Awakening Forum. Although I continue to find the dense energies challenging, something new is also occurring where more is possible, and for this momentum, for the energies of strength which are expanding, I give thanks.

with love,
Johanna
