Message from Matthew

July 4, 2008

1. This is Matthew, greeting you with love and observations from all
of us at this station.

2. It has been with sadness that enlightened souls in spirit realms
and those in physical civilizations have long watched the people of
the United States annually celebrate Independence Day. The truth is
that the bloodshed and destruction in the war for independence was
for naught, the "victory" was a sham and so is the sovereignty
bestowed by the Constitution. Indeed "the home of the brave," but
never "the land of the free." The people of that country never have
been free of control. Never have their voices been heeded nor has
meeting the needs of the nation been the foremost objective. In
statehood just as in the colonies, the nation has been inextricably
connected to England because one of the most deeply entrenched
strongholds of covert control is there and the other is in the
Vatican; the former is political, legal and economic, and the latter
is religious, but these forces have worked in tandem to instill the
beliefs and govern the scope of activities of the citizenry.

3. From the onset of declaring "independence, " every war in which
this country has been involved, including the sorrow of the civil
war that divided families and national allegiance; every economic
upturn and downturn; every acquisition of land; every presidential
election and piece of legislation; every facet of the judicial
system's operation and taxation policies and corporate growth have
been manipulated by the succession of those controllers who
systematically destroyed the vision and purpose of the states'
founding fathers.

4. I comment on the effects of that influence in the United States
because of the fireworks spectacles and stirring rhetoric attendant
to today's celebration of independence. However, the combined
forces of which I speak—in current times often referred to as the
Illuminati, the Secret Government, the New World Order, the Elitists
or the Neocons—have been ruling lives of peoples worldwide for many
centuries.

5. But this year we are rejoicing because TRUE INDEPENDENCE— freedom
for ALL life on Earth—is on your near horizon! The long era of the
controllers is seeing its end as their crimes against humankind and
Nature are being exposed in both trickle-up and trickle-down
fashion. This is becoming more and more evident even in major media
despite the controllers' attempts to stifle emerging truths. The
higher energies engulfing the planet cannot be weakened much less
halted, and these energies are awakening minds to search for truth
and opening hearts to actively work for peace for all humankind and
respect for all life.

6. In this regard, let me speak about my mother's experience while
attending her grandson's recent graduation exercise at a Jesuit
university known for academic excellence and its graduates' eventual
influential positions. She was anticipating religious overtones, but
in listening to the president, whom the church has called to a
Vatican position, she kept thinking "God could be saying this."
Finally, with some feelings of embarrassment at her delay, my mother
realized that indeed it was God speaking through that god-self
president who urged the students to turn off TV, computers and hand-
held instruments, and in the silence listen to their souls; to live
from their hearts; to use their learning to make the world a better
place for all people, where differences are respected instead of
divisive; to work for a peaceful world. The young woman goddess-self
who gave the valedictory speech was equally inspirational in her
address. I was there and feeling the combined energy, so I can tell
you that my mother's sensations were shared by the thousands of
others who also felt immensely uplifted by the light generated by
both speeches and reassured in knowing that the aspiring and
inspiring young graduates will become leaders in their respective
fields.

7. That occasion exemplifies what is happening throughout your world
at every age level, every ethnic, cultural, social, educational,
professional, religious, business, artistic and economic level. We
can see clearly what you cannot—the ever-growing light emanating
from more and more individuals and brilliant clusters of light
radiating from larger and larger groups as kindred spirits are
connecting. Individually and collectively you are responding to the
higher frequencies and the energy of your intuitive awareness is a
global energetic demand for truth to be revealed and peaceful,
harmonious living to replace violence. It is true that helping to
create Earth's Golden Age is why you chose and were selected to be
where you are, doing what you're doing; but isn't it wondrous to
know that because you are succeeding in your respective light-work
missions—and you ARE!—beloved Earth is moving apace toward her
magnificent goal!

8. So please do not allow anything to dim your light even
momentarily. Much of what still is happening is sad indeed, and we
weep with you at the on-going destruction of life and land. The dark
energy streamers set in motion long ago must run their course, but
now they are barely a flicker of their once flaming strength.
Evolution, not revolution, is underway, and it is a process whereby
your desires for benevolent changes are being honored within your
own laws that were established in honesty and justness but subverted
by dark minds to serve their purposes. You have seen some evidence
of progress during the first half of your year 2008, and we can
promise that you will be seeing much more during the second half as
the power of the light continues its "clean sweep" of your world.

9. Now I shall comment on some topics readers have requested, but I
ask that you keep in mind that in situations where the heavy hand of
darkness still is at work, its lingering influence is weakening as
each moment passes and the light is steadily growing in intensity.
Plans based in darkness will not come to fruition, and all cruel and
unjust laws, policies and traditions will be struck down and in
their stead, love and fairness will reign.

10. We see presidential nominee Barak Obama's supporters' uneasiness
about his recent statements and decisions that are disappointing and
seem to contradict his previous stance. Because the next US
president issue is of international interest and his momentum toward
office is unstoppable, we hasten to assure that he is doing only
what he must to ostensibly align himself with the expectations of
the Illuminati. Although their power base is in tatters, they still
have enough punch to sway election results by fraudulent vote count,
bribery and life threats to families of anyone who opposes them. So
do be at peace if the "public" Obama has become worrisome to you—it
is like many other situations that are not what they appear to be
and time will so tell. We can say this without jeopardizing his and
his family's physical safety—not only are they surrounded by light
warrior protectors, but who among potential assassins would give
credence to what the "voice in her head" says?

11. Shortages of corn, rice, grains, seafood and other foodstuffs
being caused by any means, including the attempt to force on farmers
genetically altered seeds that produce crops without viable seeds
for the next planting, are part of the dark plot to reduce the
world's population; and the recent emphasis on ethanol as an
alternative to gas for transportation fuel is but another part of
that insidious plan.

12. In a closely related situation, most of Earth's weather and
geophysical events are caused by technology used with malicious
intent. The flooding and earthquakes that resulted in massive death
tolls, ruined vast croplands, killed food animals, and left millions
injured or homeless were intended to create the negativity that is
generated by such devastation. Please remember that in previous
messages I have told you that divine grace honors the soul level
petitions for amended contracts of the people who perish en masse so
they can leave their physical lives of unduly harsh deprivations
and/or tyrannical oppression and continue their evolvement in spirit
life.

13. With the few exceptions of carelessness or a sick-minded
arsonist, the uncommon prevalence of wildfires also is due to
abusive use of technology, and even though fire has a cleansing
effect energetically, the intent of the perpetrators is rooted in
darkness. Now, in a rare departure from conveying only our
observations and awareness, I want to share with you a recent
message received by one who is well known and respected by us and
many other souls, because its great importance goes beyond the topic
of fire. I thank you, Dianne Robbins, for your permission to include
the Tree People's poignant words and also for your vital
communications with Earth's cetaceans and souls living within the
hollow Earth. Mother, please copy the Tree People's message here.

Fires Set off in California is Ecoterrorism

Greetings our brothers and sisters dwelling under the shade of our
leaves and boughs of our branches. We are the Tree People, standing
on your land-forms in all our majesty and grace. We sing to you
through our branches and leaves, hoping the tune will 'catch you'
and you will feel our essences and rejoice in our contact. We will
talk to you now about the fires in the state of California, and the
smoke shrouding your Mountain in Mt. Shasta, and covering you with
soot and ashes and particles unhealthy to breathe.

These fires were targeted and set off by your secret government who
are using Nature to burn our lives and pollute the air with our
smoke to make you sick so that they can reduce the population
through sickness and better control your lives through fear. It is
the most 'smart' weapon they now have available, with the technology
back-engineered from fallen space craft and given to them by the
unholy negative extraterrestrials.

They knew exactly where the lightning strikes would hit, because
they themselves precisely targeted the locations and then detonated
the lightning charges. It is quite simple, and they have excelled in
this kind of warfare, using all the forces of Nature and making it
appear as if it is Nature herself who is responsible for this. (The
new name for this kind of warfare is 'Weather Warfare' and it is the
military's plan to Draft Mother Nature. This name is from the
book "Weather Warfare by Jerry E. Smith")

Yes, Nature herself is creating some disasters in response to the
disequilibrium in her body caused by humanity's total disregard for
her life. But, we must say this, that most of these earthquakes,
tsunamis, floodings, droughts, volcano eruptions, winds, hurricanes,
tornadoes, fires – you name it – are now being deliberately caused
by your governments to solve their problem of having too many of you
on the surface, because too many people are too hard to control. The
less people they have to control, the more they can put you into
servitude to themselves – and this is their ultimate goal: to own
you and to own the Earth.

We Trees stand here and watch it all unfold. We try to make contact
with you, but you turn a deaf ear and blind eye to us, and ignore us
as we stand silently right by your very side. We are here as your
bastions of strength, your warriors in disguise, who when aligned
with us can overthrow the tyranny of these dark ones by our combined
strength and wisdom.

All the Forces of Nature are on your side, if you will but align
with our consciousness and stand solidly with us to disarm them. We
do this through our combined consciousnesses – for when we combine
our consciousness, our Light exponentially magnifies and accelerates
at speeds beyond your current imaginations – and the Light when
exponentially magnified increases its Light Quotient which can
disarm and neutralize and quell all negativity on Earth, leaving not
only humanity, but all life-forms free to evolve as we were always
meant to.

Do you see why it is so important to connect with us? You have
heard of the term 'divide and conquer"? Well, this tactic is
obvious here in the Nature realm, and the darkness knows this tactic
so well. They have divided us, by separating us because of our
different forms. Well, now you are onto their game, and it is not so
difficult to figure it out, is it? Just unite with us, and we can
be a force so great that even their best strategists would not know
what to do, and would give up in alarm and flee their posts. You
know this phrase well: 'united we stand, divided we fall.'

So stand with us in our strength, and we will carry you to Freedom.
All other life forms are connected with us, as we are connected with
all, except you humans…who up until now have wanted no part of the
rest of God's Creation. But since you are also part of God's
Creation, why not join forces with all of us, not just our Tree
People, but all of Nature's Creations, all of Nature's Life Forms,
and lend your consciousness to all of ours, and we will be able to
surmount and overcome all tyranny everywhere on Earth.

We invite you, our human brothers and sisters, to be part of the
solution, not part of the problem. Separation is part of the
problem – actually, separation is the whole problem, and none of
this would have occurred had you not separated yourselves from each
other and from us. Then you could not have been fooled and deceived,
because you would have had access through our combined group
consciousnesses to know the truth of what is happening before it got
so out of control. Now your life is controlled, rather than your
controlling your life.

We are the Tree People, but we speak on behalf all other life forms
stationed on your surface.

We wish you a good day.

14. Thank you, Mother. I wish to add a comment to their
statement "Now your life is controlled, rather than your controlling
your life": Please hold foremost in your thoughts that your
embracing, anchoring and radiating the power of the light is rapidly
changing this situation!

15. Now I move on to other topics readers have questioned. The
greatly respected journalist Tim Russet was investigating too deeply
into areas where dark minds were operating, and like many others who
also ventured into those pits of deception and corruption and could
expose the facts, his life was abruptly ended. In this case,
technology that can kill a body instantly without contact was used;
in other situations fast-growing cancer has been technologically
caused. In neither type of death is foul play normally suspected,
unlike the suspicions aroused by claims of "suicide" or the
unlikely "accidents" that befall people who uncover what the
Illuminati and those they influence want to keep hidden.

16. The truth about religion will be proven by ancient records and
more recent documents pertaining to religious dogma. You could say
that some factual groundwork has been laid by the sexual molestation
of children by Catholic priests coming to light, and the connection
between science and spirituality becoming a topic of discussion is a
chink in the armor of religious dogmas. However, the "shocking"
revelations about religions' origins and purpose are still to emerge
incrementally, and they will be disputed and even battled by the
most fervent followers of any religion.

17. Keeping Iran on media center stage for the past two or so years
and adding Israel's "national security" and the "risks" Pakistan
presents along with the ominous picture of what's happening in
Afghanistan is to keep the "war on terror" mentality alive and fear
flowing about the prospect of a nuclear war. Saner minds know there
is no troop power, no war machine equipment, and most important, no
will among nations for a conquest that could escalate to
incalculable loss of life or even planetary destruction.
Furthermore, even if such a conquest is the intent of a few
desperate dark minds, you who have read my messages and those from
other knowledgeable off-planet sources know that the technology of
our space family will once again successfully prevent such action if
it is attempted.

18. Along this same line, their technology will prevent disastrous
consequences from experiments in underground colliders or other
types of research that could go terribly awry. Earth did not endure
millennia of abuse to the point of death throes only have her
planetary body be exploded by a few inquisitive scientists!

19. As for the presidential "election" in Zimbabwe, because of its
tyrannical dictator, that country is a prime example of the areas I
mentioned in a prior message that will more slowly emerge from third
density's suppression of spiritual awareness. The last steps in the
world transformation process that began over sixty years ago will be
the reforms in countries where the peoples have long been oppressed.
By and large, those souls chose their current life conditions to
achieve the balance that winds up their third density experiencing;
when conditions exceed pre-birth agreement choices, divine grace
permits the ending of physical lifetimes and the completion in
Nirvana of the souls' selected but unfinished karmic lessons and
evolvement into fourth density.

20. A reader who has experienced heightened illumination by using
peyote, marijuana and psychodelic drugs asked if those also are
hindrances to spiritual growth like regular usage of pharmaceuticals
or "heavy" drugs such as cocaine. I have to say that hallucinogenic
natural substances don't deter spiritual awareness as do the
chemicals in legally or illegally manufactured drugs—and these
include psychodelic drugs—which destroy brain cells, muffle bodies'
self-healing mechanisms, and form a barrier between the soul and the
consciousness. With the power of will and prayer, addiction to those
kinds of drugs can be ended and the damage repaired. But as for the
comparatively harmless natural substances, they produce only
fleeting illumination, and that may be distortion rather than an
illuminating experience, whereas spiritual growth comes only from
absorbing the power of light energy and is everlasting—now that is
the ultimate "high"!

21. From one reader: Is Jesus back, living in England and soon will
identify himself? And a combination of two others' questions: Is it
true that Mother Mary's soul returned to Earth and lives in several
different bodies? What needs to be understood is that there is NO
separation of soul energy throughout not only this universe, but the
cosmos; and it is the Christed energy of those souls who embodied in
one lifetime as Jesus and his mother Mary and who originated in the
realm closest to Creator, the ultimate Being in the cosmos, that "is
back." Actually, it never left, but after being hidden from
consciousness due to the denseness of the energy in which your world
revolved for millennia, the peoples weren't aware of it. The persons
you know about as Jesus and his mother are not on Earth in their
original bodies or even new ones that look the same, but their soul
essence—the all-powerful Christed energy of love and God-ness—is on
Earth in massive abundance. It is what you are feeling yourselves
and sensing in others; it's what is motivating soul-searching and
sustaining light workers; it is the force that is propelling Earth's
ascension into the higher densities and manifesting the Golden Age!

22. And last: Yes, the year 2012 is "a shift into a new dimension"
and "the Age of Aquarius," but the fullness of what that calendar
year encompasses is immeasurably more profound than those words or
that label name can convey. No, there will be no crime in fourth
density, and no, I cannot give an exact number between 1 and 1000 to
indicate Earth's ascension progress. I hope those inquirers and any
others who may be pondering what 2012 holds will read "2012 Essay"
[www.matthewbooks. com, Matthew's Messages, December 23, 2007]. I
say this because it is the envisioning of your world as it will be
that is creating it!

23. Never are you alone in your quest for understanding, your
journey of self-discovery as part of God. Never are you alone in
serving the light, nor in the "daily grind" as you deal with
respective responsibilities. Constantly myriad souls are showering
you with light from afar and special guides and angels are at your
side. With the love and blessings of the universe, now I say
farewell.

Responsibility, Ethics and Morality

Jesus: At the very center of your soul is the Sacred Heart. It is not the left or the right side of your being, as your mind would view it—for your mind will divide anything into two parts for comparison and examination. Rather, your heart is the burning, fired up, passionate, coordinated center of your life which looks for unity, proceeds with love, and magnifies life with honesty, respect, justice, and kindness. Through that potential is a goodness which is empowered and tough. The Sacred Heart is truly your higher intelligence and the source of an inspired life. It is the heart’s intelligence which will prevail upon the Earth as mankind moves into the fullness of self-realization. You cannot find your happiness as a divided or weakened self.
Compared with the heart, the mind’s intelligence is devoted to establishing the parameters and guidelines for comparison and control. Where the mind is concerned, the pursuit of morality is not so much a way of improving life as a way of controlling it. In the process of developing a brotherhood which is kind and supportive, guidelines of morality can be important. However hard and fast rules are often instituted not to lift people up, but to put people down. This is the work of the mind intervening and usurping the heart’s power to establish foundations for judgment rather than for living.
True comprehension of morality and ethics far exceeds the mind’s dominion, although there are aspects of ethics which govern the mind. The most important principle of ethics to bear upon the mind is that of correct priority. The mind is a servant and not a master. The second most important factor is the support and enhancement which the mind does or does not give to innocent perception. It is not the right or privilege of the mind to invent or recreate reality in order to support or confirm its own agendas. Ultimately, all guidelines for mental ethics must be governed by standards of ‘workability.’ This is the function through which any mind integrates with universal law. There is also a strong implication of obedience here, for obedience is application of life and effort to workability. For example, a bridge builder who is obedient to the principles of pragmatic engineering is a successful producer whose bridges withstand the elements and convey travelers safely from one side to the other. Everything has its patterns of workability, and it is the mind’s duty to search them out diligently and to apply them earnestly. Obedience has oppressive connotations for many people because it has been interpreted to mean compliance with authority, right or wrong. This is tragic, because obedience to the laws of God always result in personal fulfillment and empowerment. False obedience is usually held in place with force and punishment, and typically results in low self-esteem for those who are subjugated to it.”
“Ethics is the ongoing process of applying principles of higher intelligence to the problems of collective existence, and endowing life with values that support the well-being of all. Ethics is the care we show in affecting the lives of others as well as a sense for where one’s greatest value lies in relation to others. Ethics might be summarized as cause and effect in balance, and applied for the greatest good.
Morality is essentially the devotion which is shown to bring about change for the better.
Morality involves a responsibility for the situations that arise in life and the willingness to confront them honestly and deal with them directly to cause an improvement. Part of this involves the personal hygiene of the body, mind, emotions, thought, and spirit. Cleanliness is indeed next to Godliness. Morality, however, is a personal attainment. It cannot be enforced externally without weakening the “I Am’ presence of an individual.
“Ethics is imperative for social decency and a workable civilization. Morality is imperative for personal clarity, strength, and virtue. The simplicity of it all, though, is that both are rooted in love

Forgiveness is the fourth principle of success

“Forgiveness is the fourth principle of success”

Jesus: “One of the miracles about forgiving is that you cut away anything from the past that did not work for you. Most people are stuck with the dead and the dying, because they won’t forgive. People hang onto grudges as if they were sacred treasures. The tragedy of a grudge, however, is that it keeps you connected to something that did not work for you, failed you, betrayed you, or let you down. Grudges weigh upon you, and distract you from focusing toward success. Resentments make life into a cluttered disarray that never makes sense. If souls were compared to moving vehicles, a unforgiving soul could be seen as a dump truck with tin cans dragging off the back side. Clatter, clatter, clang, clang!! If you listen, you can hear them coming!

“Such a person is preoccupied with making up his damages in the stock market or other businesses that failed for him. He may be consulting an attorney every few months for one thing or another until accumulations of stress require medical attention. He does not get along with the neighbors because of his argument over their dogs. This is a typical situation for many people. This man's life is so consumed with regret and difficulty, there is no longer a focus toward the future. Then he wonders, ‘Why can I never come up with a good idea anymore? When I was twenty years old I had the world in front of me and more ideas than I could use.’

“It would be easier for a person to move through such difficulties and to forgive the accumulating offenses and disappointments of life if one crucial aspect of forgiveness were better understood—that is the harmony between intelligence and forgiveness. Forgiveness is made complete not by forgetting, but rather by understanding what went wrong and how it happened. Usually things go wrong because an understanding, ability, capacity or readiness for an opportunity was incomplete in the first place. You will not make it right by forgetting, and then doing the same thing again. Besides you cannot fully release your grievances against others until you understand your own participation in them.

“Though I ask you to forgive without ceasing, there is focus and intelligence to that also. The act of forgiving should not be a sacrifice of consciousness in which a person submits passively to repeated abuse. The purpose of forgiveness is to release negative attachments so that true enlightenment may be attained and constructive justice may be applied to a situation. For instance, repeated forgiveness of a destructive child without corrective intercession, would imply consent or permission for him to continue in the same way. The reason to forgive is to restore love, not to continue an unworkable or unconstructive situation. Forgiveness is eminently practical. You will benefit more from forgiving a neighbor who has accidentally blocked your driveway than to forgive an act of terrorism on the other side of the Earth. [The closer an offender is to your life, the more important it is to forgive.] By this same measure of truth, [I hope you realize that the most crucial person to forgive is yourself.] If everyone forgave himself and those close to him, the world would take care of itself!

For those attempting manifestation

This comes from the March 17th gathering in Kingston:

QUESTION: Last night Mike Tyson earned $30,000,000 for a fight that lasted 9 minutes. There’s a lot written about manifestation, and I’d like to know more about abundance. I’m aware that there are things that are temporal and things that are spiritual, and that one might become distracted by too much money. I’m not aware how it works.

ANSWER: Ordinarily when one talks about abundance and when one hears about prosperity and “prosperity consciousness,” it refers to “temporal” things. It refers to “the world of form,” and learning the skills necessary to cause the form to reconfigure in what is conceived to be a desirable way. And you know, it doesn’t matter whether one is trying to manifest a million dollars or whether a slight variation of that is used where one tries to manifest a yacht or a tennis court or a mansion rather than the dollars that it takes, the point is that all of it is considered and dealt with at the point of effect. And always when it is dealt with at the point of effect, one is operating in a realm where gain and loss are forever partners.

Now, abundance is an inadequate way to refer to fulfillment. Fulfillment is not something that occurs at the point of effects. Fulfillment is something that is experienced at the “level” of the Source, of That which is Moving and which is seen at the level of effect or manifestation, form. I have spoken of the body as being the visibility and tangibility of each one’s Individuality, and Individuality is the formless. The visibility and tangibility is the identification, or form.

You will find that individuals who, through good psychological or business practices, are able to achieve significant wealth, are as subject as anyone else to sudden loss of what they have achieved because it’s something they can do “in the privacy of their mind.” Fulfillment, on the other hand, is inseparable from one’s abiding at the point of the Source, abiding at the level of the formless Movement, the Movement of essential Being, which is an experience available to everyone in the silence within them.

You see, everyone is very occupied with sensory data. Most everyone’s life is primarily one of sensory data. And yet there is present with each individual an inner place. We’ve called it the Void, the not-knowing place, the silence, peace. And because everyone has devoted 99 and 99/100% of their lives occupied with visual and sensory data, when anyone says, “It is well for you to give attention to the Void, to the silence, to the peace that is within you,” it seems like an alternative to something major.

If one begins to meditate, if one begins to value the silence, it begins to be a short time each day, or a couple of short times each day, not beginning in any way to equal the time or attention that is given to sensory data. And so, it isn’t really grasped that this experience of peace, this experience of the Void is meant to be 100% of one’s conscious experience of his days, and that this is what is divinely natural to him.

So, one seems to shift back and forth from the “inner” to the “outer,” from the world of form to the level of Source, the level of essential Being. And as I said, the level of essential Being seems to be of minor importance compared to the majority of the time which is spent being preoccupied with sensory data.

Nevertheless, as one begins to value this inner place enough to let it become a regular part of his experience, he begins to find that its qualities bleed over into the periods of time when he is dealing with sensory data, the level of effect, and he begins to find his experience at that level becoming more harmonious, less stressful, where there is less lack.

Now, you asked for the truth about abundance, and so that is what I am telling you. At the level of Source, one of the first things you find is that you are not alone, whether it’s the presence of God, or the Holy Spirit, or Guidance…or just the feeling of conscious Presence which is present with you on your behalf. You find that you are not alone.

In other words, one of the first experiences that comes right in the middle of the silence is one of relationship. And this relationship begins to add color to all relationships with those in what I’m going to call “the world of effect”—your daily activities as you experience them from an uncentered place.

Love begins to register with you as the fundamental of relationships, the real fundamental of relationships, and you begin to find yourself sharing Love which is arising from this centered place, this place of Source, rather than reacting to and manipulating at the level of effect, which you had before.

I am bringing this up because abundance or, more truly, fulfillment, comes into view as your conscious experience when the real meaning and function of relationships begins to be actively embodied from the level of Source—in other words, from that place of peace within you where the real meaning of Love begins to register with you and bleed over into your daily activities.

When the Movement of Love which identifies communion with your brothers begins to dominate your behavior “in the world,” all that identifies fulfillment begins to manifest. However, unlike the manifesting of abundance which occurs at the level of form, you cannot take credit for it, because it isn’t the end result of steps you have specifically taken to create that result. It is, rather, a side-effect, you might say, of daring to make the gift of You, which you can only discover and let out from the level of Source, from the essential level of Being, your Being.

This abundance, or fulfillment, cannot be achieved or taken away. In fact, it will never be accumulated, but will always be equal to whatever fulfillment of Purpose is at hand. And so, not only will you not feel personally responsible for having it, you will not be preoccupied with “having it,” because you will come to trust, from experience, the fact that more or less will be present depending upon whether more or less is needed to fulfill Purpose. And so the abundance, the joy of fulfillment, will be experienced, and measuring sticks of ability to create, measuring sticks of wealth, measuring sticks of personal competence, will have nothing to do with it.

You see, fulfillment/abundance will always simply be the flow of the Movement of your Being, being always equal to the full identification of Purpose. And so, you could say that if you have a goal at all, it is a goal to be on Purpose, rather than demonstrating or manifesting abundance. It is like being a boat, whose purpose is to float on water, and instead of trying to always ensure that there is enough water for it to float in, it stays where the current is. If it’s where the current is, it will always be where the water is. That is as specific as I can get.

At the bottom line, fulfillment/abundance will always be what you experience when you dare to make the gift of who you Are—who you divinely Are—because in abandoning the vantage point of the tiny separated ego, no matter how many wonderful skills it has, you cease operating at the level of effect where it’s always polarized—give and take, get and lose, have and not have, rich and poor—and you begin to be in the world from the silence, the formless.

Love is formless, and yet it is eternally identified in form. Learning to trust into the essential level of your Being means that you are disidentifying with the level of form, where you can be not only in the flow of the Movement of Being, but you can discover that you aren’t something separate from It to be in It or out of It. And in letting that Movement be all there is of you, there simply is nothing present to hide the fact that it is the Father’s good pleasure to give you the Kingdom.

Everyone’s function is Love, the being of Love. And in being the Love that you Are, instead of a manipulator of effects, effects begin to fulfill their function, which is not to be the pawns of manipulators, but the visibility and tangibility of the Kingdom of Heaven evidencing the Father’s Will, evidencing the Movement of Love that each one of you is the presence of.

Again, this is not a spiritual answer that doesn’t have much relevance to the world you’re going to go back to when you leave this house. When one asks about abundance, one is usually asking about a way to be in the world that can be abundant. And what I am saying is: The answer is to be in the world Awake—which means to be in your peace instead of being in the world, to be increasingly from the level of your essential Being. And when you’re being from there, the world of form, no longer being tinkered with by manipulators, will begin to identify Source.

So, don’t leave here and go back into the world and try to cope with it. Leave here and stay in whatever peace you have allowed yourself to experience here, and be in your peace rather than in the world, so that you can make the gift of who you find yourself to be when you’re in your peace in the world. And then you can say you are in it but not of it.

That is the answer, and it is enough for now.
