Focus your thoughts of Love and Light upon the world

Hilarion’s Weekly Message via Marlene Swetlishoff for 17-24 January 2016 - Part 3 

You ask what more could be done, what more should be done. Problems that emerge over time gestate and form, hidden at first, unseen, brought about by man's greed, allowed to be by man's ignorance, cannot be resolved within days or minutes or hours, not even by the forces of miracles themselves. It is time and persistency that will win the war. You must continue to encourage people to focus their loving thoughts, to focus their thoughts of Light upon the world, each and every day. This must be done. The world must be consistently bombarded with Love! People must not grow faint hearted believing that it is not working. People must acknowledge, must see that such forces will need to build slowly over time, that such forces need to be consistently applied, if they are to have effect; that such forces must come from a united and focused legion of people who believe, trust and know the truth. 

Of course, these people will have their own challenges, their own lives to contend with. They must fight against their doubt, they must fight against their disbelief, and they must fight most powerfully of all, against the feeling that they are powerless to make changes to their reality. No one is powerless. Everyone has the ability to focus and use the energy of the Divine within them and to set it to task. In order for them to do this, they must be persistent and enduring and they must join together with others in order to bring change and transformation to the world around them. This is very, very important! This must be shared; this must be applied above and beyond all other things. 

In conclusion then, we would say this: everything is ending and beginning. Everything draws to a close that it might be born again. This is the nature of reality at this moment in time. If new things are to emerge, old things must die and disappear. What occurs now is this process on a grand scale. In order to tip the consciousness of the human race, in order to enable them to see that their world is not working, that it is not functioning as it currently is, they must recognize that something drastic must occur - a shift, a change in reality - the likes of which they have not experienced before in their lifetime. The world must experience something utterly transformative. Atlantis experienced this, it ultimately led to Atlantis’s demise, but it also led to Atlantis’s rebirth, led to the Atlanteans venturing out into the world and shaping and changing the nature of the world’s history forever, by passing on their secrets to those people who up until that point, had never heard their Atlantean truths before. 

Although it is difficult at times to acknowledge, although it is difficult at times to see, you must try to recognize that what transpires is part of the plan. It is not part of the Divine Plan, not the original plan, but it is part of the plan that has been brought about through humankind’s creative powers that the Divine now improvises with in order to set humankind on a course that will ultimately lead them back to the Source, back to the beginning, that will lead to their Ascension and Evolution. 

If things are to continue flowing in the right direction, if the casualties are to be minimized, if the world is to awaken sooner rather than later, then the world must be doused in Love and Light, the hearts of humanity must be opened to the Presence of the Source. The minds of humanity must be given the Light that they need, in order to recognize Truth, and this can be done by you and yours, if you focus your energy together and in earnestness, apply the power of your spirits and your souls. Go forward then, hear our words, use this Truth, use this Light, share this message, this understanding. Let people know, let people be blessed, that people might be freed. 

Take then, our Love, Dearest One, take then our blessing, share our messages, know that we are with you as you walk upon the path and that I and my kind, that the Angels and the Divine, do everything within our power to aid and assist with the transformation of your planet in the most peaceful and positive way that it can be achieved. 

In Love and Light, let this be so for the greater good of all. (Conclusion of parts 1-3)

Understanding the nature of illusion

by Will on 24 November 2014 

How can someone be free if they can't even see their own cage? Even worse, what if they believed the very thing that was keeping them caged would someday set them free? 

And what is it we want freedom from? Wants, needs, and desires? Fear, pain, and suffering? Daily toil, drudgery, and boredom? Money problems, relationship problems? All our problems? Wouldn't that be nice to not have to worry about all those things? 



Let us go to the core, what is the root of all these issues? 

Simple, every single problem we have is a thought in our minds. A physical situation may exist, but it is the mind's reaction that makes it into a problem. Our own thinking turns it into a problem and through this we become slaves to the thoughts in our minds. 

A prisoner who knows nothing other than prison would simply think that's the way life is. A prisoner who has tasted freedom will suffer far more when locked away, even though the reality of the situation would be the same for both prisoners. It's simply a difference in perception. 

Because the mind can create the illusion that we aren't free, the illusion that we are dependent upon the body, mind and ego, the mind may seem very powerful. It's not powerful at all, but to a person who can only see through the filter of their mind, it's the most powerful thing in the world. The Being Within is where the power comes from, but that power is unconsciously given away by feeding into illusions. 

Your Consciousness isn't meant to be bound to any specific thought, but that’s exactly what the mind does. The mind is all the thoughts you are attached to, and these thoughts are what makes up your illusionary world. It takes a lot of energy to keep thoughts static, to hold them in place, and because of this all your attachments greatly weaken your energetic body. These problems with your energy body then manifest as disease in your physical vessel. 

The mind seems like it has the solution to your problems, it seems like your problems can be solved through your mind by thinking about them. In a sense this is true, but it's because the problem was created by the mind in the first place. The mind is the master of illusions. In fact, the mind is the illusion. 

All suffering, all problems, all hate, ugliness, fear and desire, the only place these things "exist" is in your mind. All the things people want to escape from are just thoughts in the mind. When seen this way, one can see the insanity of trying to use the mind to escape these things. 

The mind is the servant who tricked the Master into becoming a slave, and this was done through the ego. The ego is the mind-self, the "self" that exists solely within the confines of the mind. To the ego the mind is god, because the mind has immense control over the "reality" the ego experiences. Anything that contradicts what the mind believes is simply ignored. This is why many people believe they create their own reality, when they really just manipulating the illusionary world they're trapped within. 

There's the belief that we need to go beyond the ego to find God, and that's true, but the approach most people take is flawed. They try to use the mind to escape the ego. On the surface, it seems like progress is being made, but unconsciously the mind wants to keep the ego. The ego and the mind are deeply connected and the mind's power depends upon the ego's survival. Instead of really clearing out the ego, the mind just makes the ego more subtle, more clever. Complete and total surrender to Spirit is an infinitely more effective approach than using the mind to get past the ego. 

The mind presents itself as the path to salvation, the path to freedom. You could call this religion. True Awakening is impossible through the mind, you don't find Reality through illusion, and the mind has no intention of actually setting you free. If that happened, the mind would go back to being the servant. So, the mind gives you this false path that keeps you very busy and makes everything far more difficult than it needs to be. This is the reason Enlightenment is so dang difficult for people. They seek freedom from illusion through illusion. 

So many spiritual teachers will give you paths to freedom that subtly contain the teacher's own limitations. Perhaps that should be the motto of the "spiritual" mind, freedom through limitations. The new patterns may be less limiting than the old ones the person was stuck within. So, to them it appears that they're becoming free, but it's still not True Freedom. You just keep getting a little closer without really taking the Leap. 

One of the huge mental limitations that masquerades as a path to freedom is this idea that you have to purify your body to raise your Consciousness. Utter nonsense! It's completely backwards thinking. Not that I'm against keeping your body healthy, but the belief that it's a requirement is materialism pretending to be godly. As if your Consciousness is dependent upon your body! That belief is one of the more damning ones, yet here's all these "spiritual" teachers subtly promoting it. Raise your Consciousness, and you'll naturally bring health to your temporary physical vessel. Begin by clearing out the poisons in your mind though. 

Reality simply is, very simple, natural, effortless flow, Tao. The mind makes it complicated. The waves have no conflict with the shore, yet someone's mind can come along and turn this into a problem. In trying to solve the problem with the very thing that created the problem, more problems are added. It's a vicious cycle, and exactly why the human world is in the state it's in. 

You don’t have to keep repeating these mistakes though. You can free yourself. The absurdity is that you're only freeing yourself from the illusion that you're not already free. See the ridiculousness of the mind! Stop taking it so seriously and you'll stop giving it so much power.
