Gabriel
- In order to truly allow joy, you must be in touch
with the value and essence of your being as an individual. This
means you must be free of the plagues of the emotional body and
the trauma that surround that emotional body. You must resolve
and clear the negative feelings that are held in the body that
you are fighting.
This
fight, sometimes conscious and sometimes unconscious, keeps you
in a low grade depression and struggle. You then try to force
a state of joy.
You
cannot force a true state of being or an emotional experience.
You can pretend you feel a certain way. You can act it out, but
you cannot fool a true state of being. This only comes from the
authentic soul and essence of who you are.
Your
true essence is a state of joy. This can only be present if serenity
has been achieved. Sereinity comes when you are no longer dependent
upon that which is outside of yourself to determine your well-being
or lack of it.
Fulfillment
can only come in knowing and valuing who you truly are as an individual.
This only happens when you are in touch with all of your feelings,
without judgment and conflict. That emotional connection then
supports your will and your passion.
So
we encourage you to all look at the relationship you have with
all of your feelings - learn to nurture and accept all of your
feelings. This acceptance will create a real sense of meaning
and value. You will then be freer to fulfill a path that expresses,
honors and holds sacred who you are as a self-contained, self-realized
individual in a genuine state of joy.
"As
we move into the higher energies, how will we relate to our family
members and friends who are chosing to stay in the lower vibration?
Will they even be able to 'see' us?"
Gabriel - It
may not be easy to see that even asking this question suggests
fear and a place of spiritual superiority of the ego.
It
is not having someone at the same level of consciousness or ability
that determines whether you are able to communicate with them.
If you are truly at a high level with no judgments and separation,
you will no longer need or require from them what you needed co-dependently
when you were in a more fearful state of cosnciousness.
You will be able to see and value them for who they truly are,
as sacred individuals on their perfect journey. They will then
be allowed to have that journey on their own path, having their
own opinions and points of view, creating a perfect reality -
just as you are.
Just
because someone is not enlightened does not mean that they are
not acceptable.
You
ask if you they will be able to see you. Instead, we ask you
if you are able to truly see them?
Are you able to see the light that dwells within them, no matter
what they choose or explore? Can you see the essence of love that
they truly are?
If
you could see the love that you are, you would not need to ask
the question. But that is where you are. And it is perfectly fine.
Allow
everyone, even your family to be who they are, as they are, when
they are. Just because they don't think the same way that you
think does not mean that they do not have the same amount of light
in potential. It simply means they are not using it consciously.
That is all.
In
the eyes of God, all are equal, treading the path of light in
various levels of experience - all perfect exactly as they are.
.
To
be able to stay in the Higher energies do we have to become vegetarians?
Gabriel
- You
do not have to become anything. If you HAVE to become something,
then are forcing where you are. In other words, you are not in
synch with where you are.
When
you come to the point when you discover that denser foods do not
serve you, you will no longer have the desire for them. You will
find they do not match your vibratory rate. You will then feel
led to make the choice to move to higher vibrational foods as
a natural choice, a natural part of your process.
Do
not force anything, dear one. Do not force yourself into any any
choice from judgment or fear. Then you will be fighting where
you are, rather than embracing where you are, as you are, when
you are, how you are - which is the goal to be able to love and
accept yourself completely, as the individual that you are.
Where
you are is perfect, as it is for everyone on your planet. They
are all serving some aspect of God to reveal and reflect back
to one another. You are either a mirror of acceptance or resistance
- which either creates a life of wholness, fulfillment and celebration
or reflects back to you a life of resistance, pain and separation,
while you search for what is "not there."
A
member of my family has schitzophrenia. Could you tell me how
the ascension process will affect his illness i.e. will it make
it worse? Also, he knowns alot about the ascension process without
ever being told about it. Could he have been born with this illness
in order to help in some way with the ascension?
Gabriel
- He was not "born with the illness." He
adapted himself to the illness because of a split that took place
in the womb and birthing process. Schizophrenia is derived from
one of the five primary defenses called the "schizoid defense."
This defense develops from a message very early in life that it
"is not safe to be here. I do not feel welcome in some way.
There is no real place for me."
The
people who develop this defense attempt to escape in some way.
In some more extreme cases, it can lead to a real split from themselves
to escape.
This merely means that the various parts of the personality become
unable to be married as one. They are disperate and separated.
They typically have a great deal of judgment about the different
parts of self, because there was a lot of non-acceptance of self
at a very early age. They believe that some of these parts are
as "totally unaccepatable."
For
many schizophrenics, this comes from a desperate desire to avoid
pain at a very early age in some way. So they split inside to
cope with the sitaution - even to get into a different identity
to dissociate from the pain that is always present on some level.
Was
he born at this time in order to understand or help with ascension?
No. He was born with a certain defense pattern, where the energy
field is split in the seventh level of the aura. In this particular
defense, they interpreted from what was happening in the womb
or in the first 12 months of life that they were not wanted or
welcomed.
This
can even come from a mother being very afraid of giving birth
or being dissociated from self - and the child does not feel a
real connection to anything and does not feel safe.
Because
of the outer split of the aura, it is very easy for this person
to leave their body and go into higher realms. This connection
into the higher dimensions can allow them to connect with other
realms. This sometimes is interpreted as being "crazy"
in some way - but it is not necessarily so. They are often connected
to the upper realms and somehow "know things" that are
inherent in these higher realms as well.
Their
healing comes from a consistency of love, nurturing and authenticity.
They need the same acceptance that we have encouraged in each
answer so far. Love is the great healer. in this case, it is getting
the loving encouragement and acceptance that they did not feel
in their early years that will allow their healing resolution.
"About
a year or so ago I had 3 light beings visitors that presented
themselves to me just before I would awaken in the mornings. I
believe them to be Arcturians. The last message I received was,
"Surrender to death--surrender all aspects to death." I knew they
were referring to my ego self and not my physical death. Were
they Arcturians? And one of their messages was that all is UNITY
or ONENESS. When I am with people all I see is their "light."
Is this the same as seeing their souls and is this the Unity that
the Acutrians are referring to?
Gabriel
- Yes, dear one, these beings were indeed Arcturian
in nature.
And
for your education - one of the things that is interesting about
arcturians is a particular challenge for them - is to be able
to bring order out of disorder; to be able to align things in
a sequential order of understanding and clarity - so that there
can be a clear pathway or blueprint revealed.
So
those who have Arcturian influence on your planet can be of world
service by learning to help to build the new structures through
a revelation of deeper truth that has its own divine order within
- structures that are understood clearly and simply, because they
come from the truth.
As
to your question about "seeing the light of the soul."
Yes, seeing the light is being willing to see the essence of others
and is a recognition of the soul and the same unity of equality
that the beings were referring to. Yes.
"I
am discovering an interesting phenomenon. I am able to see the
veins in my hands more fully as I go through this process. Is
this a symptom of the ascension process? As a matter of fact,
my friend and I often feel that we can see light in the whole
body of others."
Gabriel
- What you are noticing in your new level of consciousness
is the integration of more light in those on your planet, yes.
You may even get to the point where you see the essence of light
revealing that the exterior is just a covering of a deeper truth
and you will see the hologram that holds you in the third dimensional
experience.
Most
people see this as merely a luminous glow of the skin as you open
to integrate more light.
The
physical body is not solid...but appears solid because of the
dense nature of the lower vibration. This typically eliminates
seeing more. However, as the Photon Belt penetrates your solar
system and
raises the vibration of everything, you will enter into an energy
field that moves beyond the speed of light. This will allow you,
at various levels, to see beyond the physical - the illusion of
separation.
How
deeply you experience seeing the light body will merely depend
on how willing and accessible you are at any given stage of your
evolution. It does not make you more or less loveable. It merely
brings you into more layers of truth of the miracle of creation.
"
My question is about teachers and children. As a teacher of young
children I want to know how I can best serve my students. What
do children need most at this time and how can teachers/parents
best meet their needs?"
Gabriel
- What children need most is attention, nurturing,
love and acceptance.
Make
them feel heard. Let them feel by your response that they have
worth - they are worth taking the time to listen to. Give them
an example of love and they will respond ten-fold. In doing so,
you are nurturing the essence of who they are.
All
of you are expressions of divine love. All of you are deserving
of love, without having to do or be anything - except to simply
be who you are. Right here and right now in this moment of creation.
Love
is not a reward or a punishment system. It is a system that makes
space for all peoples and realities. Love simply says, "yes.
yes. yes. I celebrate who you are.
I celebrate your differences. Who you are is absolutetly perfect."
This
is what the child inside each of you needs to know. As parents
and teachers, this is the greatest gift that you can give to one
another.
"Soon
I will be retiring after working 40 years at the same place. I
didn't realize how much my identity, time and energy had been
consumed in my career. Mostly I've felt like a 'robot' going through
the motions of life with no sense of purpose, wondering WHY I
was on the planet. Can you give me some sense of direction that
would express the 'real' me to fulfill my purpose?
Gabriel
- To you it may seem overly simple. However, your purpose
is the purpose of every human being on the planet. That one purpose
that is most important is to learn how to love.
First
you must understand what love is. It is not a funny feeling or
a sentiment - although it can be experienced through the feelings
of connection with others, or in the experience of giving and
receiving.
But
on a deeper level love is actually a force of creation - It is
an aspect of the mind of God that includes and directs the creative
expression of All That Is through its infinite individual expressions
of being.
So
although love is something that you tend to seek with a partner
outside yourself, it is not "out there." It is inside
of you. You are the source. You are the force of divine love.
Because
God/Goddess/All That Is lives, moves an has its being through
you. and you and you....
You
do the dance of discovering the truth of the expression of your
being through the force and power of love. As you learn to love
yourself, you ready yourself to take your place in the divine
force of love that is the glue of all creation. That is your one
and only true purpose.
"What
will the steps for World Peace on Earth look like?"
Gabriel
- There are no real steps to peace. In truth, in any
moment there is either peace or there is conflict.
You
embrace the experience of peacefulness by gaining serenity within
yourself. Serenity is a requirement of peace and peacefulness
is a requirement of serenity. Peace on Earth is something that
will grow out of the peace of the individual.
When
you, as an individual, are no longer able to abide in conflict
- when you have outgrown the need for it and instead the greater
desire has become for peace (because there is nothing you are
in conflict with) - then you will know that peace is possible.
Once again, as in many of the questions this evening, the solution
comes when you are able to fully accept yourself....then and only
then will you experience peace on Earth. It
will come from individuals choosing peace and creating peace within.
You will then encourage that greater experience in one another
and the experience of peace can grow.
It
will not be a linear process, such as counting a pile of stones
on the ground. It will be an essence that is infinite in its ability
to penetrate all life that is held in the consciousness of the
many.
It
must be chosen every day. It must be chosen willingly, without
doubt. it must be chosen with faith and with the idea and the
knowledge that love is the one creative force and expression of
life that is ever present for all concerned.
"I have noticed recently that I am immediately attracted
to certain people, feeling very comfortable and with others I
feel quite the opposite. In fact, one person in particular that
I work with exhausts me emotionally - drumming up intense feelings
of anger and mistrust."
Gabriel
- In order to take back your power, you need to realize
that people act as a mirror for you and your process. In any particular
moment, they either reflect what you know how to love and celebrate
or they reflect what you fear and resist. This boils down to what
feelings you embrace or resist as a bottom line.
You
also need to know that you can never resolve anything by resisting
or fighting. If you are committed to resisting something, you
literally demand to have an object or situation to resist.
In
other words, this is why you have the old adage, "What you
resist persists." The bottom line is that you are never actually
resisting a person or situation. You are resisting how they make
you feel....so you are resisting your own feelings. And if you
shut down in the solar plexus to try and get rid of a feeling
(keep it from coming up to the conscious mind in the heart), then
you hold it in place and cannot resolve the true issue.
This
is typically the habitual choice of the subconscious. The child
inside is trying to keep themselves in a familiar re-description
of life. In this case, it would be actually being addicted to
having something to fight or resist - so that they would have
something familiar to "do" or control.
You
will help yourself resolve this issue if you use this simple formula:
"What
am I moving towards with acceptance? What am I moving way from
with resistance?" Ask yourself this question honestly with
every choice.
If
your life constantly reflects what you DON'T want - or if you
have what you want to avoid, then you show yourself your true
commitment is to try to move away from and avoid...and you are
in resistance.
If
on the other hand, you realize you have what you want and need,
then you are in a different, more integrative reality - moving
towards life with acceptance.
This
is the simple formula that is the basis of all manifestation.
And you need to look INSIDE to get to the source of what feelings
you are fighting and what feelings you can celebrate.
"I
have always been extremely sensitive to the inner workings (emotional,
physical, spiritual energies) of those around me. Many times in
the past it has been overwhelming and I have closed down. That
sensitivity is increasing all the time and although I have learned
to work with it - there are days when I feel rather beat up by
it. How do I set boundaries and yet have compassion to work through
this issue?"
Gabriel
- The first thing we will discuss is that it serves
everyone to have boundaries. However, most of you are not so clear
about the difference between a boundary and a defensive barrier
that causes you to separate yourself from life.
What
you are describing is the typical experience of a particular defense
system that gets created in childhood. This is the second time
we have referred to a defense system, so we will share that there
are five primary defense systems that you all have operated through
on your planet. It would serve you well to get to know what they
are and how they have ruled your life.
In
this case, your defense is reflecting a child that was not taught
boundaries. This defense is marked by a child who wanted to fit
in and stay connected to the family - but with no healthy guidance
has learned to replace a trust of self and an ability to connected
in the equal value of true intimacy with playing a role.
The
child in this particular Masochist defense has learned to give
up her own needs to some degree and compensate for this lack of
balance by taking care of the needs of others. This left the child
with a sense of looking outside the self to others to determine
what she needed to do or how she needed to act - with the primary
focus of taking care of others.
This
leaves the child with no energetic boundaries and a sense of being
violated or "beat up" by others' needs.
What
needs to happen is for the adult that you have become to understand
this was the creative choice of a child and not the most fulfilling
choice you can make. You need to create balance by learning how
to nurture and resolve your own needs. You need to recognize that
your needs are of equal value to everyone else.
The
child has misinterpreted what compassion actually is. It has nothing
to do with "saving others." Compassion
is an energy of the heart that allows and gives space without
judgment for all situations that you understand and that you don't
understand....compassion gives everything the chance to transform
and change....and if others choose not to change the way you have
related, compassion still gives you the opportunty for you to
embrace it as it is (with new, healthy boundaries that merely
set up structures that include your own needs, as well as the
needs of others).
This
energy of compassion will allow you to stay in a more neutral
space as you continue on your own journey of self-acceptance.
When
you can approach your relationships where both people are willing
to be equal and in self-acceptance, then you can create a communion
of two souls in balance. And we know how loving and likeable souls
are when they reveal themselves to one another through the doorway
of true compassion.
We
suggest that for one day in your life you make the decision to
dedicate yourself to opening your heart without judgment...to
allow compassion for yourself and all that is happening around
you - no matter what life presents.
If
you find that you am not able to do that, you will have a better
understanding about what is in the way and required for compassion.
And you can get on with nurturing those places that are still
held in the myths of fear and imbalance.
And
where you can stay in compassion, you will illustrate for youself
where you ARE able to celebrate yourself and life around you -
as you remain in the self-empowered ownership of your precious
presence and being.
This
kind of compassion requires an equality that considers everything
simultaneously. And considers everything has the right to be just
as it is.
"
I am having difficulty losing some excess weight. I'm also struggling
with keeping my office and home neat. It seems I'm not able to
keep the clutter cleared away, and I find myself always surrounded
by piles of paper. I'm thinking these two issues may be related.
What can I do to realize success in these areas of my life?"
Gabriel
- First, it is not the weight that is your problem.
It is a protection of self that comes from the inabiltiy to contain
yourself in your own space and know you have the right to take
your place in the world, to be seen, heard and to stand in your
own truth and the power of your own being.
The
challenges you have brought forth are a reflection of the same
defense that we spoke about in the previous question.
What
you need to all begin to realize is that the child held in the
subconscious will always re-create what is familiar. The clutter,
as an example, is a reflection of the inner chaos that you felt
as a child. There may have been chaos around you as well.
Holding
on to clutter is two things typically. It is a fear of letting
go of the chaos (though you may not be aware of this - as it is
a SUBconscious motivation). And it is often a fear of letting
go of things - out of a fear of being deprived or not having what
you need.
The
child learns to hold on to these things, as they did not learn
to trust their needs would be fulfilled and that you live in a
universe that is loving and on your side. This, of course comes
from a family system that has not been educated how to identify
and meet the needs that are truly important - your safety, nurturing,
emotional needs, along with the clear models and guidance for
taking steps through change into more and more meaningful opportunities
in your lives.
Without
this clear model and foundation, the child is left with survival
choices. This creates a sense of unsafety.
The
compensation for unsafety can take many forms. In this case, it
is about learning to trust the self-worth and the ability to operate
in your life without needing excuses to keep you separate or hidden
in forms of protection. You need to realize that you do not need
to ask for permission to have your needs and feelings, nor do
you need to disguise your needs and feelings with weight or outer
chaos.
Instead,
you need to know that expressing the truth of your being - who
you are, when you are, how you are - that this will bring about
the experience of life in acceptance. It will allow you to know
the experience of being an adult who no longer needs to protect
or defend....because there is no enemy.
The
world will always be a reflection of the relationship you are
having with yourself. And you teach
others how to treat you or relate to you by how you relate to
yourself.
"How
can souls like myself, living ordinary small lives and coming
to the end of this incarnation, be of assistance in preventing
further leverage of the power of the dark forces in the political
and religious leaders of the world? What can give us courage to
persist?"
Gabriel
- First of all, we encourage you to stop viewing yourself
as small. Begin to embrace yourself as having a voice that makes
a difference. You are the "Power of One."
It only takes one to change the world. As you encourage one another,
by your demonstration and taking a stand, no matter how small
it may seem to be, you will make a difference in the resonance
of your world. Even if the way you take a stand is just writing
a letter to your congressman... Make yourself aware of the political
leaders and their agendas. Become aware of the agendas that are
taking place below the surface of what they are telling you.
Become
aware of what is going on in the potlical situation. Do your research.
Become involved. Do
not become passive. Passive
civilizations will always fall throught the self-destruction of
becoming disinterested.
We
encourage you to become involved...but in that involvement, do
not oppose. Become aware - so that you can make clear choices
and have a say. Act upon the things you can. You can always write
with your opinions. :This is what I cannot accept and this is
what I suggest as a solution." It is so important to seek
solutions...not just to judge and criticize.
Encourage
and help others become educated as well. Become curious. Become
the wonder child that you are. Treat the whole thing with the
wonder of discovery, the wonder to investigate and reaveal. Approach
it as a child playing detective- in that lightness of manner.
Do
not oppose what you CALL the dark forces. This simply gives them
strength - by giving them focus of attention. Instead come up
with alternatives...build a better system. And Build that system
right along side the one that is present.
You
are the power of ONE. As a mass consciousness, you are far more
powerful than the small groups who have banded together in their
agreement to control. They obviously realize the power of one.
Use their example for the good of the whole and to celebrate the
individuality on your planet.
If
you join together, you become the true power of the people. You
can use their example to create a system - to celebrate the individual
differences in all humanity - rather than controlling to get everyone
to "fit into the herd." This old way of being merely
wounds and breaks the heart of the soul.
So this is the Monthy Q/A from Gabriel for now. We hope you have
found some insight and food for thought that will trigger a deeper
awakening of the truth of all that you are...
