Empower Love

"Let us begin. Attuning to the great upheavals and disruptions which are upon the earth at this time. Sending light love to the center where this current affliction is occurring. Divine love for all. For those who are caught up in these tragedies, may the afflictions be diminished through the intention of minimizing the atrocities of war.

"From our perspective, or from mine, love...the extending of love, whether it is perceivable in external manifestation or not, is a soothing, healing, liquid golden salve if you will. Applied to the psyche of man and to earth, one of the ways in which that love will manifest is as hope. Hope for a brighter day. Hope for a new way...a new way of being upon the earth. A new way for humanity to be in relationship to themselves, to each other, to earth, and to God. That these deep seated afflictions of humanity and the soul, will be illuminated with light and love. Healed with golden pink rays, transformed by the violet ray, and harmony rising out of conflict.

"May the seeds of a world community which have been planted here upon earth be brought to fruition, and not the individual bickering for power which is so often included in the practice of diplomacy. Rather, world powers doing their utmost to resolve conflict by non destructive, non warring means, sparing the innocent.

"Simultaneously realizing, where there is oppression, one cannot simply turn their back as a world community. Where there is suffering, where the will of one is being suppressed, violated, and subjugated by another, that is not the plan for humanity. That is not honoring each individual's right and freedom to chose their way upon the earth. Live in harmony while honoring diversity.

"Diversity does not inevitably lead to war and conflict. In other words, Jew and Palestinian can live side by side, each respecting the others' beliefs and ways of life. One does not need to overthrow the other in order to protect one's rights, and honor one's unique way of life.

"Liberty, pursuit of happiness, and justice are broad sweeping concepts and rights which are applicable to all life. Overthrowing and violating another are not intrinsic qualities of government, whether it be democracy and capitalism, communism, or any other form of government. Nor is conflict intrinsic to any religion. All this diversity within humanity and upon earth can coexist in harmony, each bringing its attributes and gifts to the whole. Each can work in relationship to the other, without violating the other.

"Violation is not one's right. One is not fighting for their religion in this sense. These ideologies are not at the root of the conflicts. The root is, in a broad sweeping sense, the desire for empowerment. The desire for power. The desire to live your life empowered. Not to be subjugated to another. Not to suffer at the hands of others. Not to be impoverished. The drive is empowerment to live your life as you so desire.

"So far, the means to achieve that has been through power. Power over other. From the beginning of your primitive cultures, to the technological societies you currently have, the seeing of other as not self, and the struggle for survival"...

(Unfortunately I was interrupted and had to temporarily end the session. Upon returning, I forgot to turn on the microphone and lost most of the rest of the session. However I was encouraged to add my own words here, and to try to recollect at least part of the message.)

My words: from the sticks and rocks of primitive man, to the atomic weapons of current day, mankind had used power to destroy that which has been perceived as a threat to his survival and his way of life. Man is vulnerable. We can be killed, enslaved, tortured, and all the other atrocities that mankind has inflicted upon one another. We have developed ever greater power in order to protect ourselves. Power has been the means to protect our vulnerability, our life.

Few believe that love has any power to protect us. Judas betrayed Jesus in the hope that Jesus would use his God given powers to save himself and his people. Judas hoped that Jesus would use his power to restore freedom to his people, to empower them once again so they would not be suppressed. However, Jesus message was one of peace, even in the face of death.

Power was separate from love. Power became the means to ensure our survival, safety, and our way of life. It is this relationship between power and vulnerability that is at the heart of these conflicts, and not the specifics of any religion or government. It is the hatred and fear of suppression and the diminishment of our being, which all have experienced to one degree or another, that on the international level keeps mankind symbolically and literally developing ever greater means of power, to wield the ever bigger stick.

Ultimately, on the collective and individual level, power over another is not the answer. Humanity will be stuck in this inner conflict, between its vulnerability and power, until humanity realizes power separated from love will never keep one safe. Someone's freedom is another's enslavement. Someone's abundance is another's poverty. Someone, somewhere will always be kept suppressed, and the suffering and killing will go on.

The problem has been that love has not been perceived as being able to keep anyone safe. Love has not stopped a ruthless dictator. Gandhi and others who have championed peace, have died at the hands of others. Love is meek, and easy prey.

The answer I receive to this dilemma is, "to empower love". Love is not a force that can be used to overpower another. Within love are contained the attributes of brotherhood, peace, joy, freedom, justice, the right to self determination, treat your neighbor as you wish to be treated, and much more. Love is a collective choice. It is freedom and abundance for all. It honors diversity and choice.

The pattern that humanity has been locked into is seeing other as not self, as other. There is Oneness, and there is fragmentation. But the Oneness is Love, and that Love is within each of us. The path of healing is through ourselves and owning our projections. And choosing Love, and all it embraces, for all of mankind.

(Continuing with the channeling)..."mutual coexistence in love and light for all."

"Well let us say three Oms together and hope we did not leave the microphone turned off so we lost our message. But it is not lost in your heart or your understanding, and therefore you could recapture it in your own words." (Well sort of. I put down a bit of what I have been learning on this vast subject)

"Let us all pray for peace. That love may be manifested in the hearts and minds of mankind, and that there be an end to the violating of one another. May there be an end to the self hatred, whether or not you are aware of that, it is in you. May there be an end to the projecting upon others all of our own inner woundings. May we be healed within, and may that healing and love be projected upon others. Of course, not in a way which limits anyone, or dictates circumstances, but only as a will of good intention, of healing, of love light, of their being made full in life. Let us say three Oms together."

See Honoring Self and Other for more on this subject: The vision is true and real, that of the birth of the fifth kingdom, or as it was expressed in days of antiquity, "heaven upon earth". That heaven is here within each. It is a divine potential within each, and it will be birthed as man is released from his fears. Living in fear is hell. Living in pain and suffering and torture is hell.
