The many paths on Earth, the Path of Living Light and the Way of the Heart; ascension and the need to "shine" today.
We walk many paths on Earth. Many incarnations are spent trying this way and that, learning the teachings of this teacher and that… Why do you think this is so? Because there are so many paths of light, and to become a rounded, developed and tolerant being we must walk many paths to learn acceptance, not to mention the divine wisdom in all its multifaceted aspects.
Any path, any teaching that brings a soul further along its way is teaching the universal divine wisdom. From the inner levels there is no separation between these paths – for they are all from the one source and that is the Divine Wisdom of the Universe. Each path you take is like a subject you study at school – unique and special in its own right, but it alone does not give you the rounded fulfilling education you need.
To gain the fullness of education on Earth, you need to take many paths – and then also remember their teachings and essence. However, there is a veil that rests upon humanity to protect it against unknown and unforseen memories of the past. This veil is slowly lifting as humanity, as the Earth, lifts in consciousness. With this lifting, so too will lift the “lack of memory” of the past. An intolerant fanatic who awakens to their past lives of utmost devotion and dedication as a Christian, Buddhist, Muslim, Jew, Hindu … how then shall they remain fanatical and intolerant?
This is the path we walk today, of reawakening the lessons of the past and reaping their bountiful rewards – peace, and tolerance.
The resistance we see in the world today, the fanaticism, the intolerance – it all comes from the rising vibration of the times we live in, bringing up the past.
Of course this is difficult for some, for most, in fact. Many do not believe in reincarnation, let alone wish to deal with their past. For many of us, just dealing with the past in this life is difficult, and can be painful, even traumatic. What is the one thing that releases this? Forgiveness. As human beings we have so much rigidity, so much demand for perfection we do not dare forgive, but would rather judge ourselves and others on our imperfections.
Of course we must strive for perfection, for without striving we do not get anywhere. But now, the way of the heart shines before us to show the balanced pathway of tolerance and acceptance, service and humility, abundance and joy. This is a universal pathway, the pathway of the universal diamond that shines light into every world, every heart, every corner of this Earth and beyond.
There is only one source of light, and to that light we all return. Christ, Buddha, Sri Krishna, Mohammed – to mention some of the Avatars who have brought this light to Earth – they all work together to teach the different lessons needed by humanity for each individual’s growth and understanding. They have all taught pathways of the light – but they do not teach that any of these ways are separate from or better than the other. That is the human consciousness that wishes to separate one from the other in order to feel safe and secure.
In the heart you will feel safe and secure, for nothing can harm you, your true self.
Learn to live in tolerance, remember that you have had life upon life learning the many lessons upon the Earth, being devoted to one way and then another. The great teachers of humanity work together for the sake of all. This you must recognise. Lift your consciousness past the veil of forgetfulness, past the separatism of the ignorant mind, and walk the way of the heart.
On that path, you keep your teacher, the spiritual practices from your chosen tradition, if that is what you follow. You keep everything, but you lift it into the heart – so that your path becomes for you a greater awakening experience to the greater life there is on Earth.
Learn, understand, that humanity is one family. The hatred, despair and fear of some must be healed with love, forgiveness, tolerance and also discipline. Discipline is the action of the Law. The way of the heart is in perfect attunement with the Law, for how can you hope to progress on any journey without learning the boundaries of your pathway? And are those boundaries not the Divine Laws – those divine principles that hold, nurture and guide our growth and development?
These Laws help us through the action of karma, applied when we stray from the path (so called “bad karma”), and when we walk straight on our path (“good karma”). Our karma supports and nurtures us to walk the path of return.
The Light beckons, dear children of Earth, the Light beckons you and thus brings out the darkness that you have also created. That is why there must be action now, to redeem the darkness. The Law must be fulfilled, and you must be the ones to act, for it is your past that catches up with you.
Strive for the light and shed that light on the intolerant and fearful ones. It is the only way.
Shine and bring the heart. Ascension is the tool. Shine!
