"If praise from your lips can make another feel at ease, then how powerful is it for the glorification of your own individual spiritual growth to praise that which is unseen yet guides your every waking and sleeping moment?"

"We come to assist you, as it were, in what may be called 'Preparing for the Coming Times', for it has been the urgent desire and wish of the one through whom we speak to know beyond the written word, beyond even her own sense of inner knowing, what may become the reality of the human race as it is now known."

The Shifting of the Role of Leadership"Leadership, from your perspective, is what you consider yourselves to be engaged in in this very moment. Listening to someone whom you believe to have more wisdom, more experience, more knowledge, and more knowing. And when, in your being, you have decided that another is greater than you in this capacity, you follow.
"It is the state of affairs upon this planet, for it is taught in your educational system.You have a teacher, a professor, a master; you are apprenticed. There is always one who knows greater than you, and yet the real truth of this greatness of knowledge may be more appropriately applied to skills that belong to third dimension: building, trade affairs, cooking, how one actually 'does life'. In this sense, a master may indeed, be most welcomed. "However, what is lost in this teaching style on your planet is the knowingness that you are the creator and the builder of each and every experience you have. "How does this apply when you are in a world of those who are not in control of what they think, who are not aware of what they feel, who indeed are programmed by movies, books, video games, tv? "These, in your country, become your leaders. Those who write your books, produce your shows and newscasts, have become your unseen teachers. "And whence, in all of this learning, have you taken time to watch your inner vision? For truly we say unto you, 'It is only within your inner vision that your leadership exists.' "And you say, 'What if I do not see within?' "And we say, 'It is not a picture. It is not a show. It is more of a knowing, a sensing. Be still. Be quiet. Allow the still small voice within. In your culture, in your history your 'still small voice' is misnamed. It is not a sound that comes unto you. It is knowing. "The shift in the role of leadership at this time is the shift within. Each one of you that goes within and seeks your answer to change and your place in the changing world may very well come up with different answers Does this mean you are inaccurate in what you received? Indeed it means you are receiving your own reality, for that is the magic of your planet. "Your planet is full of different realities. Some of these realities are created by what you call 'leaders' because they excite the masses to a singular thought, and with that singular thought, they create an emotion. Emotions create and uncreate. "This is the time of awakening. You will hear many prophets spouting forth, telling you of the end of time. You will be watching devastating effects happening upon the physicality of your earth. And you may find yourself looking outside of yourself for your leader. "Who will tell you where to put your money? Who will tell you whether you need to stock up on food and water? Who will tell you where to live? Who will tell you to build the ark? Who will tell you if your brothers from space are coming? "Those you look to for leadership are perhaps even more affected by the energies of fear than are you. Remember, it is your inner wisdom that is your leader. "And now you wish to know, 'How do I know if I can trust my inner wisdom?' It is all you have ever had. It is all that you ever created with. It is like a baby taking its first steps. It may take one. It may take two. It may fall. Does that mean it cannot trust its legs or its inner desire for forward motion? It means the same thing that it will mean for you as you begin to trust your inner wisdom. If you have not yet become stewards of what you think and what you say, there is no other time but now in which to begin." For wisdom from Lady Master Natasha, click here.

Owning Like a Crow"You are taught upon your planet the importance of sharing, yes? Indeed, from the time you are small, you are given very little permission to 'own'. All that you have it is suggested you share with all who come within your play space.
"Unenlightened parents who have been trained in the same manner insist that this is what is good behavior: to share. It does not matter from their perspective whether you want to share, whether it is something that comes from your heart. Instead, it is taught to be a reaction. 'This is what one does.' "Sharing, when it is done from the space of re-action, contains an element of what we may label 'adverse emotional content', or we may say in your terminology 'negativity'. It has an adverse effect upon one's cells, does it not? The effect, you will recall from our last discussion, is one of death and denying the Divinity within your being. "And so what of this concept of sharing? From whence must it come? It must come from Desire, and it must come from Will. For when you Desire to share, your Will is activated, and you do so from the perspective of Joy and Happiness and Givingness, rather than from a perspective that has a deleterious effect upon the Divinity of the cellular nature of your vehicle. "Very seldom will you see a crow sharing its prize. Indeed, most of your feathered kingdom claims their prize, won with effort, and flies to whatever spot allows them to glorify in the moment of their owning. In your culture upon this planet, the idea of owning is not looked upon as Mastery. Indeed, there are many perspectives about ownership. We shall not this evening spend time debating over the value of ownership of material possessions, for it merely be opinions and various ways of doing life. However, we shall reinforce the concept of Owning Space, of Owning Thought, of Owning your Emotions, for these truly belong to the Divinity of the Might I Am of which you are. They are your children, as well as your inheritance. They are the clothing which glorify your life. But the crow, in its moments of glory, owns it thoughts and its feelings. It commands the space and the energy in the Universe in this very moment to be that which it chooses it to be. It has a knowing, as each of you have a knowing. As your knowing grows, you begin to find that more and more of your cellular nature is responding to its remembrance of the Divinity within. You find yourself glowing, do you not? When the day comes in your current reality when you understand on all of your levels of being exactly how to own like a crow, your Mastery and your Divinity will blossom. There will be those who look upon you and your countenance and wonder what it is about you that is so special. What is it that they will see within your being? They will think you have changed your hair. They will think, perhaps, your make-up is different, that you have gained or lost weight. Unless they, too, be awakened, they will not quite know what it is they be seeing within you. And yet, you will know. For you will remember this conversation in those moments, and you will know, "Ah yes, I am learning to own like a crow." |
Seeds of Hope"Unlike your thoughts and feelings, which create your future in a way in which you desire and/or in a way in which you do not desire, what is thought of as 'Hope', in your culture, is used erroneously to convince you that you are creating. "It is a good thing to hope for." "We hope you win." "We hope all is well" Hope, in your culture and in your wording and indeed in the very feeling nature of the word itself indicates 'lack, non-completion, and un-creation.'
"Seeds of Hope, then, be not what you think of in a mental picture. It be not planting ideas and carrying them forth in your thoughts and your feelings to burst forth into a reality of which you dream. Indeed, Seeds of Hope more accurately represent thoughts of lack and of wanting and of not having. They represent, as it were, an opposite to that which you would be requesting to represent in your life. If you would, place yourself in this moment into the feeling of what within you represents 'hope'. What do you notice? Lack! "You will notice your are hoping to win the lottery because you need money. You are in lack of financial substance. "You are hoping to win your game because you are in a position you consider to be losing. "You are hoping someone will ask you out for an evening because you are in a position of feeling alone. 'Hope' is not what you have been led to think and feel it is, from a creative perspective. Seeds of Hope, indeed, bring forth a barren future. They bring forth the very things which you seekth not. When one walks and talks and lives and evolves into and upon the path of Mastery, one abandons 'Hope' for 'Knowing'. It is inside, in the place of stillness and completeness, of innocence and experience, of knowledge and wisdom, that Knowing takes root. You do not 'hope' you will win; you know it. Hope steers you away from that which you would have. Knowing is that essence within you which cannot and does not allow for doubt, wondering, or concerns. Knowing is the place of fortitude within one's Being where you recognize your Divinity and yourself as absolute creator of your existence, at all times, in all places and under all circumstances. Question (asked by a participant): "What are some ways to help increase our ability to focus?" Answer: "We would offer unto you an idea which you may implement in this very moment. In closing the eyes of your body, we would ask you to look within and open the eye within. As you open the eye within, we would ask you to imagine a rock: round, smooth, sturdy, grayish in color, slightly porous, flat on the bottom. "As you focus on this rock, you allow your mind to be only upon this rock. And as you watch the rock, you imagine, if you will, that energy from the Universe and from you is being attracted to this rock. it is coming into the rock from all sides. It is coming from you. It is coming from the earth, from the skies, from above, from below, from within, from without. "Your rock is radiating with energy. As it continues to radiate, you notice it begins to pulse, ever so gently at first. For you see, this inanimate object in your mind's eye is becoming aware. "It becomes aware of energy, and as it does, it becomes as a suction, drawing energy in. And yet, as it draws it in, because it is slightly porous, energy also comes out. It is able to pull in and to release, yet it is able to pull in more than it releases. And as you continue to focus upon this rock and its energy, you will indeed be doing the same thing within the physical state of your being. "You will be bringing energy in, but it is easier for you in your inner eye to focus on an inanimate object, for it simply sits and pulses. Its color is not so interesting. Its shape is easy to behold. It is an easy symbol for the mind's eye to focus upon. "Rock also indicates to your subconscious steady, sturdy, indestructible, always there. "The longer you can sit and focus upon your rock in your mind's eye, the stiller your body will become physically. As your body becomes still physically, your brainwaves begin lengthening themselves. As they lengthen themselves, your body begins a process of moving into what is known as your 'recharge zone'. The body begins to allow itself to charge. "It is a natural process which takes place. Your body needs no teaching for how to recharge itself. It is coded within your being. It is a natural state of occurrence." |
