Discussing Celestial Messages

[happyrain]

This one really spoke to my heart

https://board.1111angels.com/viewtopic.php?t=34214

I am growing fond of the circle of seven, and teacher Ophelius.

I replaced the words to accept more ownership for the suffering and lack of understanding.

I met a beautiful woman recently. I found her impressive.

Well, our short experience together also brought my addictive personality to light. I was heartbroken as a result of my own behavior, where the selfish me sprouted monstrous proportions. I am learning that this disorder is real, like a person addicted to a substance- the brain seeks a sense of satisfaction(like a dopamine hit) despite the reality of a situation(causing regrettable action if not addressed and understood).

I am ashamed for not behaving more in tune with the inspiration I've been blessed to receive. I learned she too is prompted by 1111. That should have been my clue to subdue the selfish desires, but even then- my sexual attraction was intense.

I understand much of the suffering comes not just from a lack of understanding but from seeking false liberation(living for the ego) instead of seeking true liberation (seeking and accepting the Fathers Will)

Now I've lost a beautiful connection and opportunity to make a wonderful friend.

I intend to endure, and hope to grow. This prayer is something I will practice, again and again. I do think despite all of this, understanding is coming to light... And though I've received illumination- I must transform.

That's all, for now.

Yes, you will endure, little brother.
We all slip up in private and in the public eye...aiyiyi Sometimes I remember something uncomfortable, and right there in the middle of what I am doing, I react, wishing I could go back and do something differently.

But a wise man once said on one of these threads...

We are here to learn, and this is a very real and challenging place to Be. But I say once more... With God as our LOVING Father, nothing is impossible.

You are free. You can do it. Do not give up on your self, because your loving father has never given up on you.

Those words, you may remember, are yours, and wise words that helped me and others, I am sure. We need such a reminder once in a while...that God is a very patient and loving Father who loves us and forgives us before we can forgive ourselves. That is pure love, and you have so much of that reflected in your being. Those around you feel it and open up about all kinds of things, spiritual and life's tough reality...and that is beyond price.

I know you know all this, but I wanted to take this opportunity to tell you how proud I am of you and the way you lighten your community. That's what it is all about...open-hearted love and kindness. That is how the world will change.

Wow, thank you sweet Sandy- my friend.

I don't remember writing that, so I am very happy you would remind me all this wisdom- yours being included.

My date went well, it was my behavior I am upset by. It was a pursuit of ego, trying to force the elements. Ayiyi indeed, I am 37 but still such a child- apparently. I am happy because I realize I was depressed even prior to meeting this woman. And a part of fixing that depression means attempting to tackle the addictive personality that runs in my family.

It's ok. Live and hopefully, learn.

I was reading paper 54 in the Urantia Book, reading how patient our Father God is. A loving parent, who endures realities we don't even understand... For a sake of honoring sovereign right(gods gift) of all beings- Free Will.

I am going to meditate today, and I will open up with the prayer of understanding.

I am in all ways grateful, even at the humiliation of this little ego of mine.

With returning strength,
Your Bro.

“The Act of Listening with the Ear of Spirit” - Thought Adjuster.
Great lesson Sandy.

I also translated it like this... Lately, I am seeing how I feel when I interact with others. I am listening to that energy. Sometimes I wonder, is the energy my own? Is it the other persons? Is it both of ours? Am I acting out of selfish interest? Am I feeling their intention? Are we flowing together beautifully? Are we living from our own delusions? Are we responding from bitterness of some unknown misgiving? Are we responding form fear over some projected expectation?

Well, there's a lot unspoken when interacting with others that I am really beginning to enjoy honing in on. Slowing down, feeling. Some people notice I am feeling the space, but I am not doing this enough to say it is a practice. I will try more to listen from this space, the exchange between individuals to gauge and choose. Hopefully choosing a direction filled with loving service.

There also has to be a level of honesty with my self... As in... Ok I am pursuing a selfish thought right now. Now that I know this is my energy speaking- is it OK to continue in that direction? As a man, who- in most instances, is the one who pursues in courting rituals- there is a lot I question. For example- I am OK with having sexual drives. So why in my seeking intimacy do I feel things like uncertainty or even a feeling pursuing with this individual means experiencing a negative outcome? Is it a 'social stigma'? Is it a projection, is it True?

Lately, I find myself testing the waters.

[Sandy]

I like the idea of slowing down and paying attention to the energy transfer between myself and others as we interact. Thanks, Eric, for this lovely reminder.
I find this can be quite helpful with my Mom, who has alzheimers. We are together 24/7, so developing a sense of where she is, where her thoughts, words, and emotions stem, is very helpful. It also helps to try to embody the mind of Christ. That is one reason I enjoy reading the fourth section of the Ubook. It provides so much detail as we are treated to the interactions between Jesus and those around him. Jesus loved people and desired to understand them, allowing him to love them. Developing the mind of Christ is one of the most beneficial things we can do for ourselves, our overall happiness, those around us, and the world.

After being here less then an hour ago I went to the progress group website messages section and look what came up immediately. ...

Urantia, November 5, 2011.
The Beloved One.
Received by Lytske.

The Beloved One: "Even though we have broached the important subject of listening before, it will be useful to revisit this art once again, as true listening is so very seldom engaged in on this planet. Mortals are often too quick to formulate answers in their minds, so important parts of the conversation escape them.

"True listening is an art, which can be learned when both heart and mind are engaged at the same deep level of understanding, and I add that understanding is part and parcel of listening.

"I desire for you to engage in this art when conversing with others as there may be deeper levels of expression to be understood, which may give more insight, so this exercise of listening will have greater meaning.

"Remember that in listening the self must take a back seat, and it is the level of engagement with others that must be considered foremost. There is so much to learn and understand, therefore to listen intently is a worthy exercise to engage in for it to eventually become a most desirable and valuable habit.

"You know from experience how it is when someone else gives you her or his undivided attention when you speak, and how you feel valued as a person and worthy of their attention.

"In these modern, busy times, there is a great need to value people by giving them the attention they both require and deserve. The opposite so often happens, and so many humans feel ignored, even unworthy to be heard and understood.

"It is my hope that this short lesson on listening has given you the insight for a different take on this very important subject."

Thank you Sandy...

Yes, it really is fun exploring the energetic space!

Awesome, awesome, AWESOME synchronicity! These timely messages, delivered on behalf of celestial helpers, most always seems multifaceted.

Using sex energy as an example, is just one such example. I have fun exploring the space amidst every day interaction- whether that interaction produces sexual attraction, fear, anger, comfort, peace, silliness, joy, impatience, patience... Whatever it is, it is fascinating! As is the pause, and attempts to behave in the desired manner.

The opportunity to shape our Being. Choosing to learn from the actions of Christ is noble, indeed! Christ exemplifies selfless Love...

And yet, no one person need punish themselves for their own behaviors and lack of understanding- we are all unique expressions learning with God in this very moment. Often, when I interact with others- I am learning more about my self than the other.

It is rare that I read others correctly- but when I do, my Heart is filled with a sense of profound Harmony. There is nothing but Love.

I am a baby compared to Jesus, and I do not think I am meant to BE Jesus... You are not saying this. But I write for the larger audience. So many times I have encountered folks who think they must forcefully behave in X, Y and Z manner maiming their own personality and alienating themselves from Love.

Yes, choose to be *Like Jesus. And recognize, even with spiritual maturity we may have a completely different personality than that of Jesus. Those differences are something of celebration! Truly, the discovery of one's truer self- in partnership with our Loving God... IS Transcendental.

Things aren't only black and white, but a dazzling display of Living Light extending beyond the means of human perception.

I just woke up from a dream where I confronted paper demons. I understand the demons held little power because I realize I am presently shining a space on the "condemned" and "neglected" aspects of my self. As a consequence I am finding opportunity for a greater understanding and compassion... I feel profound confidence in my every day interactions. This level of confidence is not like anything I've ever felt. It's almost as if, this is how it should be- the comfort of being in ones own skin...

I also think it helps having experienced Gods Love.

Universe keeps whispering, "Demon Hunter" to me today... And I think it means looking within, exploring the space and choosing the desired course for ones life.

That's my morning expansion. Thanks for letting lil' me share!!

PS...

Like you, one of my greatest challenges is interacting with my family. Sometimes I get very irritated with my Mother or Father when they don't deserve it. I recognize it is in part a learned behavior. Now I am trying to navigate these energies mindfully...
Perhaps we stumble even after this life time. But we can feel comforted knowing our God loves us so much and gives us every opportunity to try again.

I really enjoyed "Will-Self versus Self-Will" as I am presently going through a bit of an adjustment. My work schedule is different for the remainder of the year, and my ability to rest and continue my interest outside of work feels impinged upon. This, alongside some revealing insight- which I pray for celestial wisdom to help calibrate towards understanding- has proven challenging and already brought about some undesirable behavior.

Now I look at this behavior and question how I might overcome as I move through this shift - which is including going to bed earlier and waking up much much earlier. Today I have been up since 3:30AM. I think the inconsistencies has to do with this new work schedule and figuring out how to continue living in a manner that resonates within.

With Gods grace, I will acquire wider clarity and overcome. Amen ~

PS... After posting this I took the messages advice:
viewtopic.php?p=225446&sid=0ed776a9875f ... d0#p225446

And prayed out loud for celestials assistance. I was immediately flooded with those feel good goose bumps up and down my spine and all around my body. Pure ecstasy... And I knew they were letting me know how close they are... And that I am receiving help. . . So much love . . .

[happyrain]

I just wanted to let you know, I tried the advice from this channeled message. That is, I considered the reality that angels are ready to assist us if we willingly ask for it.

I entered into sincere prayer shortly after sharing this and upon asking for assistance I was given deep and euphoric chills up and down my spine. Every time I went back to ask them* for help, the sensations along the spine were present- as if to affirm my request. This means there are intelligent beings somehow communicating with me through my spine.

I wonder what the rest of our invisible spirit looks like when the physical body is only a portion of our existence.

Well some incredible things happened today... Through the assistance of the divine energies, I was able to release my attachments- some of which were responsible for waking me up at 3:30AM... calibrate my perspective.... and even be used lovingly to assist others/self.

On the way to work I saw two cars side by side- one license plate ending in 333 and the other in 444. I felt the angels were assuring me they were with me behest my request... I went to take a picture but the car ending in 444 drove off. Still I managed to capture the vehicle with the repeating 3's and you know what? I know the person meant it as a joke, they had a bumper sticker that read- "Do you follow Jesus this closely?" And I said internally, "I wish!" chuckling to my self.

----
So at one point in the day a customer came in and she seemed really upset. I asked her about it, and she told me she was definitely having a day- her Faith was being tested. She was very angry. I tried to listen, I tried to make gentle suggestions, and she wanted to fight it- but she also wanted to hear what I had to say. But most importantly I got to relay to her how much she has helped me as a regular customer over the year and by the end of it we ended up hugging with tears in our eyes.

Despite being up since 3:30AM I had incredible amounts of energy through out the day...
Yesterday I got into a bit of a family squabble with my coworker which created a lot of anger inside of me. I tried bringing it to my conscious mind last night, and this is one of the whole reasons I prayed today for divine assistance from the angels. I did not want to be attached to the anger any longer.

I realized because I am going through a shift that my attachment to particular lines of thinking was the reason for much of my resentment and irritability. Being thrown into a wide awake state at 3:30 and engaging in some mindful practices ended up being a blessing in disguise. I got to exercise, I got to gaze at the rising sun...

By the end of the day it felt as if any anger I had was transformed into total appreciation. I tried to make amends with my coworker, because I realized the love behind everything. That love is worth everything. . . I felt urged at the thought level to give her a hug too, so I did.

I gladly let go of my attachment for a new perspective.

As if these miracles weren't enough- I am just now coming home from work because I was held up near the end of the day engaged in conversation with our newest addition to the family- a young and passionate executive chef. We started sharing a little bit about ourselves and he told me he is doing a lot of releasing at this time in his life. Somehow by the end of our conversation I discovered he believes in Jesus and he has a desire to know the deeper meanings in life. That he experiences synchronicities- his mother passed away and the repeating 2's is associated with the love he has for her.

Here he is talking about releasing, which is what I experienced as well today- a whole lot of it. I told this young man that I feel he is my Brother, I should have hugged him but instead we both just gazed out and felt the Spirit between us. By the end of it I felt it important to relay to him that he already has, "one foot in his new body." I threw my arms up in joy by the end of our discussion.

Well there it is. Really incredible happenings today after a sincere prayer was issued. Things beyond my conscious control, moreso workings of beings from the angelic realms.

God is great, I am always in awe by these miracles.... <3 Reverence <3

another follow up. a not so random, divine interjection...

another mind blowing moment... what are the chances... all of these 3's? 3 days ago i shared the photo above.
and today, randomly watching a show called "psych" is a red car with 3's. It is implied this intelligence is in greater control than we understand . . .
(attached) i mean... i didn't think i'd watch anything tonight. but it was this episode, an episode i'd never seen before, and after these instances written above... it is not lost on me the character is pretending to be a psychic detective but really just has amazing observational skills.

the thought is god is in control.... god knows our future. it really is incredible... this is an old show with something like 6 or 7 seasons. what were the chances . . .?
i ended up meditating as a result there were moments where the breath really slowed down with a calm elation in the mind. i felt much lighter and enjoyed zeroing in all noise into the breath. it was a call to take the time and continue the practice. thank you god <3
