THE GLORY OF THE LIGHT
Message from the One
http://lightomega.org/the-Glory-of-the-Light.html

Awake, my children, to the Glory of the Light, for I have sent my Glory to be with you in these days of transition, to shelter you under the rays of Her everlasting presence, to comfort those in need of comfort, and to provide a safe passage into the future.

Never have I left you to your own affairs, alone, though it seemed that way to some, and never will I leave you to suffer with the pangs of illusion that have separated you from Me. I Am always and forever with you, and have been watching over you for all the generations of time from the beginning. Now, at last, you shall have some sense of My presence as you awaken from the dream that has seemed reality till now, and find that the world is much more beautiful and alive than has ever been imagined, and that it is not a world of things and people, but the pulsating beat of one Heart that unites all within the radiance of perfection.

This is it... this is how we navigate our way back to our Higher Selves...

Can you do it?

Can you trust the Light enough to let Go? To let God?

Can you trust that you will be upheld?

Can you trust that you will be loved?

Can you trust that you will heal?

Can you let go?

I went to a meeting last night out of the blue. Ive gone to meetings on and off for years but I've never attended regularly. my parents have begged me to get a sponsor and go every day for a long time now. I do feel some comfort when I am at a meeting, but its only for that hour. I usually go home and use right after the meeting because most of the time I cry throughout the entire hour. I know I should just commit to going to AA on a regular basis, its one hour out of my day and if I'm not at work, I do nothing, so why I have been so resistant to the idea of going to meetings, I dont know. It really bothers me that I'm unwilling to do something so simple, that everyone says will help me.

Here is what I perceive:

Because you are afraid love...

You are afraid to wake up... probably because your life has felt at times to be like a living nightmare.

Because the pain has been so intense, so unrelenting that you cannot imagine what life would be like without the help of the drugs and alcohol to keep you numb.

Because life on life's terms seems so daunting.

Because sometimes, life hurts. Really, really hurts. And the thought of facing the long embedded emotions and pain seems - well, unimaginable, unendurable, and unwelcome.

Because the thought of beginning life anew feels like_______________________________________(fill in the blank).

Dear Johanna,
I happened to be on here and realized it was Wednesday between 1-5 so I thought I would write.

Welcome love. Thank you so much for joining us and bring your questions and beautiful heart.

$1:

I am currently purifying some big emotions about letting go of Noah, my 18 year old. It feels like a relationship is ending when I don't want it to.

Yes, it is 'transforming' into a new relationship. I perceive that the part of your heart which is frightened of this change and perceives itself to be in limbo, feels as if the relationship is 'ending' and that it can be compared to a death of sorts.

$1:

I know it isn't really, but in my heart, I want to go on with the same relationship we always had as mother and child, but he needs to separate and I must let him go.

Although I have not been blessed with children in this lifetime, I can perceive the bond between mother and child. It seems one of the deepest, satisfying and most safest (sometimes until the teen years for some), relationships one human being can have with another.

And, it is easy to forget that those who chose to be parents are the sacred stewards of those souls coming in to fulfill their spiritual destinies.

Noah is moving forward to fulfill his spiritual destiny and your role love, is now transforming and both he and you are leaving the cocoon which you have shared blessedly, for 18 wonderful years.

$1:

I am surprised at the intensity of the feelings that happen each time a greater letting go is called for.

Perhaps re-framing the event is needed to help in the process... Noah is moving forward to fulfill his destiny and your relationship with him is now in a state of limbo... Trusting in this state of unknowing is called for so that Noah can move forward and you too, can be guide as to how best steward and guide your son on the next step of his sacred journey.

I feel it is the limbo - the unknowing and the energies which would seek to torment your suffering which can intensify this sacred process of transformation you and Noah are going through.

Perhaps a sacred ritual or ceremony could be created by you, to acknowledge his moving forward and the transition of your relationship?

$1:

I am just letting myself feel the feelings without attachment, giving them to God and trusting that they will go, but honestly, it is stronger than I anticipated and I am much in need of grace and support.

For those who do not know this, Abriete and I have been 'with' each other through the Light Omega community for 20 years. I have seen her go through intense and awe inspiring situations of holding and processing intense energies. So that in this case, the intensity of her feelings does not surprise me, because I have seen her cope and deal with intense energies for God as her heart is so enormous and full of the desire to share love.

$1:

I am wondering how this applies to the spiritual realm, as it is such a human level experience, yet I trust that being called to share here it will be able to benefit someone else as well.

This is a wonderful question...

I sometime's wonder how our Mother~Father God, the Beloved who Created us, gave us birth, is able to let go of us - especially as life on this planet can be so challenging and difficult. I have wondered when I have been a witness to intense suffering or violence, does God weep? God must... AND everything, absolutely everything, all suffering and joy - is held in God and we are given the opportunity to come here and move forward to fulfill our spiritual destinies..

And I will bring the blind by a way that they knew not;

I will lead them in paths that they have not known:

I will make darkness light before them, and crooked things straight.

Isaiah 42:16

Because the thought of beginning life anew feels like it would be impossible for me

I guess it just feels very out of reach, almost an impossibility for me.

Your post made me think about what my ideal life would look like and I realized I have no idea what I would want. I know the things I wouldn't want, but I have a really hard time remembering what made me happy before the alcohol and drugs. The one thing I can think of right away that makes me happy no matter what, is my bichon dixie, who has been with me through all of this.

..."Waiting is a passage, a passage of hope, of trust, and of endurance, that must often be gone through so that change can take place.

There are those that wait in distrust and with great fear.
There are those that wait in doubt or confusion about what is happening.
There are those that wait with optimism and trust.
And there are those that wait in unknowing – leaving all in God’s hands.

The latter is the waiting that gives greatest power to the soul to dismantle the needs and desires of the ego, and to take its place as the greater source of authority within the human life. It is the soul that benefits from waiting, even while the embodied self may be in pain. And it is the soul that institutes and creates from the vantage point of its own purposes, so that the greatest spiritual attainment and movement can take place.

Many suffer during times of waiting, because the bedrock of trust in Divine unfoldment has been sorely depleted, and because fear has taken its place. Many suffer, and many desire ‘to know’ when, how, and where things will materialize. This is entirely natural from the human standpoint but it is not the way of Divine unfoldment which does not separate itself from the Source of all movement, namely, the Source that is God.

Divine unfoldment does not require knowledge, it requires trust. It does not require planning, it requires surrender. And in the midst of this surrender, great truths are being born within the heart, truths concerning the soul’s relationship with God and truths concerning the meaning of life itself. Waiting brings these truths to the deeper levels of the heart, even while the emotions and mental process may be experiencing deep distress.

Waiting is not something that the ego would choose. It is something that the soul must choose and must be empowered enough to do so. This enables the embodied self to endure a period of difficulty or distress, even when the duration is unknown. When the soul is empowered in this way, then all difficulty begins to be absorbed into a sense of greater purpose, and all trials are seen as part of the sacred and divine Plan for each soul that brings each one, in their own unique way, into Divine wholeness."

Dearest kth and all who seek spiritual support,

In the midst of this deeply loving and profound exchange, I would like to offer to you the new "Emanations of Healing Light" Calendar.

What it offers is the support of spiritual light to uphold you so that you do not sink into the negativity that has become habitual, and so that you begin to entertain new ideas concerning who you are. This Calendar can help you shift frames of reference and begin to believe in the existence of your Higher Self.

This is a prayer I have said for the past 25 years. The prayer has been coming into fruition in the last few years...

No eye has seen
No heart has know
What God has planned
For those who love Him.
-Holy Bible

Blessed Be.

Thank you Beloved Julie.

I would like to share a few words of my experience with the Emanations of Healing Light Calendar.

For me, I appreciate the shift I am able to make each day from the energetic relationship I have with the calendar.

First, the timing... When I check my inbox and the Emanations of Healing Light Calendar is there, I am able to choose to those moments to stop what I am "doing in the world", and receive the blessing of the message.

Receiving for me comes first visually through the energies of the photos - the colours and the subject.

Then my eyes take the sacred and healing words to my heart. And for a moment, no matter what else that is happening, I am one with the meditation.

Lastly, because I am so energetically sensitive, the most awesome blessing of receiving the Emanations of Healing Light Calendar, is being able to hear Beloved Julie's voice - which brings me incredible comfort and helps me to energetically shift more into my heart, more into my higher self, lessening the attachments to everything around me.

Thank you for creating this blessed calendar Beloved.

Thank you for the gift of being 'with' you and receiving spiritual nourishment for my soul. I love hearing your voice everyday.

Dear Julie, KTH and All,
I have been receiving these & no matter how many times I re-click to listen, I am filled by the great love that pours forth.

Like, Johanna, this has been such a blessed support & source of comfort. This has helped sustain and focus me during the days when life’s challenges made me feel like a little boat tossed in the ocean.

Thank you, Julie. Thank you, Realms of Light.
