Peace in the world begins with peace within

Suzy Ward Channeling Matthew Ward for 13 February 2018 

With loving greetings from all souls at this station, this is Matthew. We share a reader’s comments that express the sentiments of many: “Matthew and other messengers say the light is changing the world. I don’t see evidence that substantiates this.” The cited situations: nations at loggerheads, political infighting in governments, disparity between the wealthy and the poor, brutal regimes, random terrorism, fear of cyberspace and nuclear war. 

Those situations still are part of your world because they haven’t finished running their respective energetic courses. How we wish you could see the evidence we do, the light steadily diminishing the strength of those situations’ energy streamers and all others with negative attachments. Dear family, we know your eagerness to see unmistakable signs that third density’s ills are meeting their ends, and you shall! As the light continues to weaken and incrementally rid your world of everything based in darkness, your steadfastness as lightworkers will well serve you and Earth. 

“Please ask Matthew why racial and religious prejudice is on the rise. With the light intensifying, shouldn’t it be decreasing?” It is not more prevalent than before, it is that its long-time destructiveness is being “brought to light” so the damage it has done to the civilization can be healed. Prejudice is not innate—it has been thoroughly taught by one generation to the next down through the centuries, and the divisiveness it has caused has been the dark ones’ great ally in controlling the masses. Although prejudice is exhibited by attitudes of superiority toward people who look different, have different religious beliefs, different social, cultural or ethnic heritage, different philosophies, actually it is a sense of insecurity due to fear of those differences. Attitudes are changing, and as vibrations continue heightening and expanding conscious and spiritual awareness, everyone will come to know that they have had those lifetimes they deem inferior; they will come to know the Oneness of All, and the populace will be unified by aspirations, dreams and love of family that all have in common. 

“I’m not able to take part in peace rallies anymore and I don’t have money to donate to their organizations. Can praying for peace contribute to these vital efforts?” Indeed it can! You have been taught that prayer is repeating words in religious books or asking God, by whatever name, for something specific or giving thanks for what you receive. Prayer is ever so much more—it is your every thought and feeling. 

Often we have said that thoughts and feelings are energy, that the Universal Law of Attraction connects with similar energy in the collective consciousness and brings that back to you. When prayer is for peace, the energy goes forth, returns with more of the same and adds to the gathering abundance that is bringing peace to Earth. We have said, too, that peace in the world begins with peace within—when those high vibrations flow out and blend with like energy, the ripple effect is immeasurable. 

We want to mention as well that the numbers of groups holding meditation sessions around the world are growing. When minds and hearts collectively are focused on peace—on kindness to animals, international harmony, mutual respect, environmental preservation, prosperity for all, whatever you want for your world—the energy is exponentially magnified and brings closer each day the manifestation of those ideals. The value of prayer and active or remote participation in meditation groups cannot be overstated. 

Also we have been asked about collective energy in quite a different matter. “Could the combination of global concerns about North Korea’s nuclear threat, other hostile countries with nuclear weapons, the US government’s plans to expand its arsenal, and talks about a nuclear war be more powerful than ET ability to prevent the detonation of launched warheads?” No. The light in Gaia’s desire for Earth’s residents to live harmoniously with each other and with Nature and in the peoples’ desire for a safe, peaceful world is far greater than the combined energy of thoughts and rhetoric about nuclear weapons or war, and there is no intention to initiate such a war. Nevertheless, because Creator decreed that there will be no nuclear explosions in space, crews in your skies have technological capability to cause the simultaneous malfunctioning of warheads that might be launched along with all that are in storage anywhere on the planet. 

“Are Illuminati moles (double agents) in all intelligence agencies? Why would anyone take such a dangerous job?” The Illuminati have agents in all countries’ intelligence agencies to provide correct information to individuals higher in the ranks or, if so directed, send false information to unsuspecting sources. Some of those agents are moles, but others who serve in that capacity are not Illuminati. Speaking now of all double agents, some do it because they are bribed or blackmailed or their family’s safety is threatened—those are Illuminati recruiting tactics; some are so disgruntled with their government’s policies that they offer their services to another government; and most act out of patriotism and love of their country. The day is coming when spying—and surveillance of private lives—will be but a chapter in your history books. 

“Please ask Matthew: “Why, if GOD gave us free will did he allow the Anunnaki and the Cabalists to substantially diminish our free will choices so severely that we have limited freedom and are the economic slaves to them?” Some persons use their free will to limit what others may do; however, never can anyone interfere with what you think or feel or limit your choice of reaction to any situation. 

That said, Creator bestowed upon every soul in the cosmos the gift of free will and its inherent manifesting capability, and God and the rulers of the other universes are bound by this Cosmic Law to honor the free will choices of all souls in their respective universes. From time immemorial, souls in this universe have used their gift to curtail the freedom and economic wellbeing of countless others. When my mother asked God why he allowed this, this is what he told her: 

Above all else, there is Creator’s free will law, and if someone uses that to harm another, I can’t interfere. Therefore, I not only experience exactly the hurtful action of the first, but also exactly the hurting sensation of the second. I can’t escape any of the suffering of humans or any other life form anywhere in the universe, just as I can’t not experience the exact rejoicing of any. So, it’s not a matter of my “allowing” this free will exercise, you see. ….

Your governments should be ashamed of themselves, truly, because they are lagging well behind the timed phasing in of universal truths and are holding back the other life forms there from opening into the fullness of spiritual blossoming during this embodiment. In short, you are being shortchanged in your learning choices because your governments are withholding many truths. So are your church leaders. Earth as her whole self is saddened by the individual slowness of her peoples. Particularly in regards to treatment of each other and the animals, there is a severe lagging over the timeframe of spiritual enlightenment chosen by the souls now embodied there. 

So, even YOU are saying that literally billions of souls are being victimized by the free will decisions of a few powerful people! 

Oh, no, that’s not what I’m saying! And it’s not what I meant, but I was stopped short of the full story when you started typing your impression. Souls, not bodies, is the issue here, Suzy. Yes, a lot of what’s transpiring isn’t what was originally agreed upon, but adjustments are being made at soul level. Those who truly are “victimizing” others, as you say—but “not living according to their original agreements” is what I’d say—actually are victimizing ONLY their own soul evolution! The ones you see as their “victims,” those who aren’t proceeding with their original chosen lessons due to the free will of the few “victimizers,” are leaping ahead in soul growth, whether it’s on the planet or beyond, after leaving their embodiment life there. But of course they don’t consciously realize this! [That excerpt from a chapter in Illuminations for a New Era was transmitted in 1998.] 

Thank you, Mother. Now then, God is doing what He is permitted—He is honoring Gaia’s free will choice that all souls on her planetary body may live freely and share equally in Earth’s abundance. To assist them in achieving this, He authorized powerful spiritually evolved civilizations to beam massive light to Earth and volunteers from those civilizations to embody on the planet and help the peoples awaken. Ever since, Gaia expressed her choice more than eight decades ago in linear time, light on the planet has been growing steadily stronger and the people who have awakened are using their free will to create what they want—a peaceful world with freedom, justness and prosperity for all. It may seem at times that this is coming at a snail’s pace, but the spiritual and conscious evolution of Earth’s civilization is happening with swiftness unprecedented in this universe. 

“It is often stated that ‘the dark ones’ cannot exist in the higher dimensions, 4th density and higher? If that is the case, how are we to understand the galactic wars that are spoken of? And the existence of a ‘fallen’ angel, Lucifer?” In the case of those wars, density refers to location, not spiritual evolvement status—individuals and civilizations may be highly evolved in intelligence and technological development but have no more light than the spark that is their life force. In some energy levels in the timeless continuum, those wars still are being waged; in other levels the battling is winding down; and in still others, former warmongers are living peaceably, some for a short while, others for eons in your concept of time. 

Timelessness has contributed to seemingly conflicting theories about Lucifer. Archangel Lucifer, who came forth in Creator’s first expression of Itself, remains the pure love-light energy of the Beginnings. At the same “time,” he and other angelic beings are developing the idea to use Creator’s energy to develop materials to make life forms; and in a different astral plane, they are starting to experiment with those materials—this is the introduction of density. Simultaneously, in other planes, they are making intelligent, emotional half-animal, half-human creatures and ferocious or benevolent dragons on land and in the seas; and by doing so, they are devising and “falling” into denser energy, still farther from their Beginnings in the light. By continuing to delight in making these long-lived miserable creatures, some of which are in your mythical lore, Lucifer and his followers are creating and descending into increasingly denser energy, sometimes referred to as “Luciferian energy.” And, in the very same moment that all of the above is happening in myriad planes of differing energy vibrations, Lucifer and some of the angels who “fell” with him are realizing the error of their ways and are in various stages of returning to the light. 

Beloved sisters and brothers, nothing in this universe is only one way or another or happens at one time or another—everything IS, NOW. And everything, everywhere affects everything else, everywhere else—that is how far-reaching your every thought, feeling and deed is! Yet, the workings of the universe are simple. It is only in the lower levels of consciousness that people create complexities and confusion and abuse the gift of free will. With evolvement comes experiencing life as Creator intended when It birthed all souls—divine!—simply by BEing who you are: A unique, inviolate, eternal soul created of love-light energy, independent yet inseparable from all other souls in the Cosmos. 

LOVE and PEACE
