A
message from Mother Mary
NOTE: This dictation was delivered on April
05, 2007 during the Shangra-la Easter Conference.
My beloved hearts, it is my great joy and my
great privilege to welcome you to my heart.
Where is my heart? Well, where else could it
be but in the Eternal NOW? And you too are in
the Eternal NOW, for you have been willing to
make the sacrifice to give this
rosary however many times you could give
it in this last month and more.
My beloved, these three last rosaries, that
I have given you, have been extremely significant.
And I will venture to say that you will not
quite understand the significance until you
have ascended from this planet and looked back
at this embodiment to evaluate, truly, the service
you rendered.
Time and death are illusions
You see, my beloved, time truly is one of the
greatest illusions in the material universe.
Time causes so many people to lose sight of
what is important in the eternal life because
they become so enveloped in the daily life,
and they forget that they are not here simply
to live a daily life of struggle, of running
around from here to there, never really getting
anywhere.
So you see, my beloved, time must be conquered
before the last enemy can be conquered. And
what is that last enemy? Well, as the Bible
says, the last enemy is death. But my beloved,
throughout this conference we will give you
a new view of death. For you will understand
that there is a worldly image of death and there
is the spiritual reality, where death can be
seen in a different light – not as the
enemy, not as something to be feared –
for death truly is not the end but it is a release
from limitation, a release from struggle, a
release from unreality.
For you see, my beloved, as I have explained
in my
book and as Maitreya has explained
in his, there is a core of your being that
is beyond time, beyond space and therefore beyond
life and death—as people see it in this
realm. You may call it the Conscious
You or anything else you like. But there
is a reality of your being that allows you to
be aware that you exist, that you are conscious.
And this is the reality that can be set free
from limitation, from the limitations of time
and space.
And thus, how can that real self, how can that
conscious self, be set free? Well, it can be
set free only by overcoming unreality, by overcoming
illusion. And so how can you overcome illusion?
Well, my beloved, you can overcome illusion
only through a total release from that illusion.
And that release can happen only when the illusion
itself – and the self that you have built
from that illusion – is allowed to die.
Your attention endows your illusions
with life
For you see, my beloved, the conscious you is
an extension of God's very own Being. And it
is through the Conscious You – through
the nexus of the Conscious You – that
the light streams from the upper part of the
figure-eight
flow, from the figure eight of your own
Higher
Self to the lower part of your being, your
sphere of self that is conscious in this world.
And so, whatever the Conscious You places its
attention upon, it will endow with light—and
thus it will endow it with life. You see, my
beloved, everything in this world can be said
to be a mirage—an illusion that has been
temporarily endowed with life through the attention
of the conscious beings who have co-created
or created this world.
And so you see, my beloved, when you create
– or come to believe – an illusion
that you think is real and that you think is
the real you, you endow that illusion with life
through your attention and through the light
that streams through it. This does not make
the illusion real, it does not make it eternal,
it does not give it eternal life. But it does
give it a temporary life in time and space.
The fear of death
And so, my beloved, how can the Conscious You
be free of what it has created unless it is
released from it? And in order to be released
from it, it must allow the unreality that it
has created to die. And yes, my beloved, what
you are feeling – what you are dealing
with in this day and age – is nothing
less than a cosmic process. For you see, my
beloved, ever since humanity started descending
into the duality consciousness – started
creating millions and billions of these illusions
that envelop this planet – well, ever
since then they have feared death.
What is it that fears death? Well, my beloved,
it cannot be the real self. But the ego fears
death, because it fears losing whatever life
it has. And so you see, my beloved, humankind
as a whole is enveloped in, is captured in,
this illusion that death is to be feared. And
therefore, they hold on to the form of life
that is the highest form of life they can see
right now. And they think that if that limitation
– if that unreality – goes, they
will have nothing left.
And so you see, my beloved, what the spiritual
people in this age are up against is the planetary
momentum of the fear of death. And whether you
are in this teaching or that organization matters
not, for all truly spiritual people around this
planet are engaged in the same process of helping
humankind rise above and see through the illusion
that death means loss, that death is the end.
And that is why some of you will feel a certain
fear and trepidation when you contemplate death,
or when you contemplate the death of some illusion,
some part of the mortal self. But my beloved,
you are doing this not for your own sakes alone,
but for the planet and for humanity as a whole.
Understanding the cross
For some must be the forerunners, some must
be the trailblazers, who are willing to see
what Saint Paul had seen when he said, “I
die daily.” For truly he knew that unless
the carnal mind – as he called it –
unless the carnal self was allowed to die, bit
by bit, day by day, he could not truly follow
Christ. For it was what Jesus was talking about
when he said, “Take up your cross and
follow me.”
What is the cross? It is the unreality, the
illusion, the unreal self that holds you fixated
in a position where you think you cannot move.
And so, all of humanity is truly crucified,
fixated, paralyzed by this illusion, especially
the fear of death. Because the fear of death
creates a Catch 22—if you fear to let
go of the illusion, how can you let go of the
illusion?
How can you overcome unreality if you are afraid
to release yourself from it, to release it from
you? It cannot be done, my beloved, for you
cannot bear the loss of self—the Conscious
You cannot bear to lose all identity. And indeed
it is not meant to lose all identity, it is
meant to transcend the limited identity until
it reaches a higher state of identity, even
goes on to reach the ultimate identity of total
oneness with God and oneness with all life.
The Living Word and love
So my beloved, why have we called you to a conference
where we will talk about the restoration of
the Word and Love? Because they go hand in hand
as the Alpha and the Omega. As you will hear
more about throughout this conference, the Living
Word can indeed be shocking because it cuts
through the illusion and makes it much more
difficult for people to deny that they need
to change. And at a certain level of the spiritual
path, this can be difficult to bear. Because
you are still somewhat identified with the outer
self, with the ego, and thus you go into this
fear mode of fearing that if the ego is exposed,
then you will suffer a loss and you will not
know who you are.
So that is why you need the Omega balance of
Love, of understanding what Love is –
of tuning into it in your hearts – so
that you can allow the process of the Living
Word exposing the unreality without going into
a state of shock or trauma or denial because
you do not have enough Love. And so, only those
who truly love can let go of the illusion. Only
those who love unconditionally, as Jesus loved
unconditionally on the cross, can give up the
ghost and let that ghost die—even if it
means that a part of what they thought was themselves
dies in the process.
So my beloved, this is a retreat and I know
that some of you have been to other retreats
and some of you have the concept that a retreat
should be relaxing, where you withdraw from
the world and the normal daily cares of the
world, and you withdraw from your often hectic
daily life and your work life and now you can
relax and focus on something spiritual.
Well my beloved, I must tell you that although
those expectations may be reasonable, they are
not relevant for these next few days. For we
have much to release, and therefore I caution
you to look at this retreat as a work retreat,
for we need you to hold the balance in the physical
octave for the release of the Word, the Living
Word, that we will release.
The emperor of the government has nothing
on
My beloved, you are close enough to this nation’s
capital that there can be an arc of light from
this place,* to the Mall, to the Capitol building,
to the White House in Washington D.C. And we
will use this arc of light to release the Word
that needs to be released into the government,
into the national psyche, to awaken people to
the reality that this nation is ready to take
a major leap forward but that this cannot happen
without the willingness to let go of the old,
the willingness to look at the reality and say,
“The Emperor of this government has nothing
on.”
And with that I do not simply mean the outer
government that is sitting where they can be
seen by the public, but everything that is involved
in the process of governing this nation, including
what is hidden from view. And I am not simply
talking about people behind the scenes, I am
talking about a national consciousness of denial,
of running away, of an unwillingness to face
the truth and realize that, “We need to
change, that this nation needs to change for
we have lost the connection to reality. We have
created an illusion where we think we are on
the right track, we think we are the greatest
nation on the Earth, we think we are favored
by God, we think we can do no wrong, we think
we can do whatever we want.”
And this illusion needs to be shattered, so
that those who are open can wake up and so that
they can consciously see what they know in their
hearts but which they cannot formulate into
words. And that, my beloved, is why we need
the restoration of the Word in this nation.
For the Word, as you will hear about in the
coming days, is that which gives you a tie to
reality. A reality that is beyond the manipulation
by the human ego, by the power elite who think
they can run this nation better than the people—who
think they can run this universe better than
God and God's representatives.
And so you see, my beloved, this is what needs
to happen. And in these next few days, because
of your proximity to Washington D.C., you can
indeed produce a magical, a dramatic effect,
in starting the process that will change the
psyche of this nation in a dramatic way. This
is not to say that you can do this alone, but
as Jesus said, “With men this is impossible,
but with God all things are possible.”
Thus, we Above, and you below working together
can be the open door for this change.
Truth is a two-edged sword
But for this to happen to the fullest, we need
you to be willing to do in your own consciousness
what this nation is not yet willing to do. And
that is to look in the mirror, to look at the
beam in your own eye, to realize that truth
is a two-edged sword and one end is cutting
through your own illusions. For we cannot have
a repeat of what we have seen so many times
in the past – including in the Christian
movement, in the Christian churches –
where people go out and say what should happen
in the world and what other people should do,
but they have not been willing to look in the
mirror and remove the beam from their own eye.
So therefore, they are like the hypocrites who
confronted Jesus and rejected the Living Christ
when he stood before them in the flesh.
And therefore, my beloved, if you go out without
having cleaned your own house, people will reject
you, they will find fault, they will find something
to criticize. But if you go out with a clear
heart and mind – because you have healed
your psyche, you have become whole –
then the prince of this world will have nothing
in you whereby he can discourage you. And neither
will they have anything in you that they can
use as an excuse for rejecting the Living Word
that you bring.
And so you see, my beloved, this is a two-fold
process. Yes you are here to do a work for a
planetary impact. But the foundation for that
work is the personal work that you do in your
own mind. Therefore I say to you that there
is not one person here – this messenger
included – who does not have some human
dualistic illusions left in their consciousness.
And if you are willing, you can indeed come
to see things during this retreat that you have
not seen – not only in this lifetime,
but in many lifetimes – things that are
holding you back. And I am not here talking
about you being a bad person in any way. I am
talking here about the fact that you all have
things that you do not see. And if you could
see them, you would be more free because you
would be more whole.
And so the impact that this retreat can have
on the world is in direct proportion to your
willingness to look in the mirror and to see
things in yourself that you have so far not
seen—perhaps because you still believed
the ego who said you didn’t need to see
this. But I tell you, you DO need to see it!
For truly, in the Christ Consciousness –
in the presence of the Living Word – nothing
can remain hidden. No aspect of duality can
remain hidden when the Christ Light shines into
its dark cave. For duality and death thrive
only in the shadows, for only in the shadows
can illusions exist.
And so, the only reason why your illusions continue
to exist is that there is some dark corner of
your mind where you have not so far been willing
to let the light shine. And certainly, I respect
your free will. I welcome all of you to my heart.
I find fault in no one. I judge or condemn no
one. I do not put any conditions on your participation
in this retreat.
I simply say that if you want to have the greatest
possible personal growth and if you want to
be an instrument for producing the greatest
possible impact on a national and world scale,
then the one thing – the master key –
that will make that happen is precisely that
you come to see some aspect of the duality consciousness
in your being that you have never seen before.
And that you let it go, you let it die, you
let it pass into the flame of unconditional
love that consumes it and thereby sets you free,
more free than you have ever been in your sojourn
on this planet.
My beloved, I am not telling you that you are
a terrible person and you need to see this illusion
and you need to feel bad about yourself. I am
telling you that you have a unique opportunity
during this retreat to come to see an illusion
that will set you free to be MORE of who you
ARE. And after all, is that not why you came
here—to be more than you were before you
came? For truly, why would you go through the
trouble of coming to this retreat, of traveling
so far, to come out the same person that went
in?
I want you to get your money’s worth,
as they say [laughter]. And that can happen
only if you open your mind to the possibility
that there might be something hiding in the
recesses of your psyche that you have not yet
seen, or seen for what it is.
And so, with this I bow to the reality of the
physical octave, that you all need a good night’s
rest. Surely, we have many teachings to release
throughout this retreat. And we expect a very
full schedule with dictations every day from
various masters. And thus we ask you to be mindful
of the time and space that you have here.
We ask you to start a session every day at 10
o'clock. Give a rosary, have the Word delivered
that will be delivered that day before lunch,
then be back not too long after lunch. Again,
be disciplined. And then again have dinner and
come back for an evening session. This can only
happen if there are some logistics that are
met here, my beloved, and so we ask those of
you who feel so inclined to help wherever there
may be help needed, especially in the preparation
of the meals.
For truly, in participating you only rise higher.
You cannot get the maximum benefit from a retreat
like this by passively sitting back and thinking
all you have to do is take in. For as I said
in my book, as Maitreya has said in his, as
Jesus has said in his
ego discourses, as we have said in many
other dictations – there comes a point
on the spiritual path where you will not grow
until you start giving out, until you start
serving, participating. For it is not enough
to take in—what has been taken in must
be multiplied in service to all life.
Thus, my beloved, I bid you a good and restful
night and I ask you to get the best possible
rest so that you can rest from your travels
and be ready to step up to an entirely new level
tomorrow and in the coming days.
Thus, I seal you in my sacred heart, and I ask
you – before you go to sleep – to
make a call to me to multiply your sleep so
that you will be rested on the morrow.
* The conference was held about 70 miles from
Washington D.C.
