Unconditional Love

Blessed Seekers of Spiritual Freedom,

It has been some time since I last shared my teachings with you but this does not mean that I have not been observing and assisting in your spiritual unfoldment during this period. I have never been farther away from you than a single thought, a single desire, or a single request for assistance. Even when you may have felt forsaken by everyone you hold near and dear, whenever you chose to place your attention upon my Presence, I was instantly at your side, just as I was two thousand years ago, when I was honored and privileges to serve as one of beloved Jesus many teachers.

Just as it has been with you, very quickly in our relationship, I came to know Jesus' many gifts such as faith, strength, love, compassion and his great power to understand what it was others needed to bear, to see or to feel, in order to receive healing or enlightenment. I also was permitted to see, what some may call, his more human side, during those moments when this blessed one, doubting his own divinity, felt anger, fear or pain. He struggled often to overcome these very human emotions. However, and this is a very important point to remember beloved ones, he allowed himself the time and energy to do so. This was something he consciously chose to do, in an attempt to improve his mastery.  

Equally important, those closest to him supported Jesus during his times of need. Thus, they too made the conscious decision to improve their mastery as well. Each one did their best to do this, without judgment or fear, for they appreciated the times when their roles were reversed, and it was they who needed and received assistance. This example also shows the importance of the group energy in any given situation. Even when several within a group falter, there will always be at least one among you who is strong, understanding and comforting. Then centered within the Threefold Flame of Divinity at their heartcenter, they are able to support the others and the work continues.  

Additionally, this example shows how the pace of one's spiritual evolution, greatly increases, when you begin to work at the group level. The challenges and opportunities to learn and grow certainly do broaden and advance into new areas when you enter this sphere.  

Consider the seeming difficulties currently taking place within Shamballa and the Bridge to Spiritual Freedom. Just as changes have and will continue taking place, so too are the group dynamics shifting and changing. As each of you have also observed during this time, along with the changes has come growth, but usually not without the human emotions of fear, doubt, anger and frustration, entering into each situation.  

The Spiritual Hierarchy, has for the most part, remained silent concerning the various aspects of human consciousness that have recently invaded the sacred Heart Center of this planet and most of the students associated with this Activity of Light. With God's great gift of free will choice, we may not and will not interfere. However the time has come, to clarify a few points and hopefully bring an end to the current disruption of the work I, as the representative of the Great White Brotherhood, will now briefly offer information to comfort and enlighten those who care to listen.  

I believe most, if not all, of the difficulty of recent days, stems from a difference of perception and lack of full understanding, especially with regard to the Will of our Father-Mother God. Human will tends to come forth, especially in times of turmoil, unhappiness and discord, with so much strength and power that it is often mistaken for God's Will. Some of you ask, What then is the Will of God? For those who are unable, as yet, to let go of their self-centred needs, or as I prefer to say, relinquish self and human will, thus allowing the works of your Father-Mother God to be fulfilled, you as yet, are not ready to know.  

If you are unable, or unwilling, to quiet yourself and listen to the voice of the Father, that still small voice within, then God's Will may not be done on Earth, as it is in Heaven. As I have observed recently, instead of going within and following the Will of God and having faith in the love, wisdom and power of God to do, there are students of this Activity and others who have chosen to look at outer appearances―to judge and to listen to the voice of others instead of their own inner promptings.  

On the other hand, those chelas of the Ascended Masters who are able to let go and let God be God through them. Those who know and accept that they are the eyes of God, the hands of God, and most importantly, the heart of God, in the physical world of form, for the most part, are able to fully align themselves with the Will of God. I know at times it is difficult to have patience and trust. It is hard to watch situations unfold that seem to go against what you would like to see happen. However, you must learn to relinquish self and human will, no matter how hard it is to comprehend. Allow the Will of our Father-Mother God to manifest. Thy kingdom come on Earth, as it is in Heaven.  

To you beloved ones, to all of you, I offer my full support and assistance, as you continue to learn your lessons and become master of your own energies. My love for each of you is unconditional and I know ultimately, your goals are the same. Until the moment when you complete both your personal and collective journeys back into the heart of our Father-Mother God, I offer you the gifts of courage and illumination. I offer you mercy, forgiveness and love. As I now draw you into my aura, I bid you peace and I look forward to our next opportunity to interact.
