A
message from Mother Mary. This dictation
was delivered during the Shangra-la Peace conference
near Stockholm, Sweden, October 1, 2006.
My beloved hearts, as I started this conference
I, Mary, come to seal it. And I come with the
gentle flame of the Mother. For truly, I am
in constant agreement with El Morya and with
the other masters. Yet I also provide the Omega
balance. And so I come with a word of comfort,
gratitude and consolation.
My beloved, one of the things that can cause
people to become stressed on the spiritual path
is when they hear a master talk about a high
vision and high goal. And you look at yourself
and say, “But I am so far from being there,
where I should be in consciousness.” And
then in recognizing the gap, you almost become
discouraged and feel so overwhelmed that you
sense there is no point in even trying. This,
of course, is exactly what your ego wants you
to feel. For then you do not even try. And if
you do not try, you cannot transcend yourself
and so you will remain stuck. So now you feel
even worse about your situation than before
you found the spiritual path and did not know
that there was a possibility of attaining a
higher state of consciousness.
So I understand that some people sometimes look
at the people in the world who are living a
normal life and say, or perhaps just sense unconsciously,
that it was so much easier when you didn’t
know about the path. It was so much easier when
you could just live life like everyone else
and feel like you were normal, you were okay.
But you see, my beloved, the reality is that
there is never any reason for you to feel that
you are inadequate—as long as you are
willing to take one small doable and believable
step at a time. This is all that is required.
It is a trick of the ego to get you to focus
on this high goal and say, “I should be
the Christ right now. And since I am not, I
must be a bad person. There must be something
wrong with me. I must not be doing something
right.” And then you go into the trap
of doing more, of being frantic or running faster.
And you can do this for ten or twenty years.
Yet there is still the gap between where you
are now and where you think you ought to be.
It is like the donkey running to catch up with
the carrot that is dangling in front of its
nose. But the more it runs, the more it pushes
the carrot in front of it. And so many people
have done this with the spiritual path.
Find your balance on the path
That is why, as
El Morya said, you sometimes need to step
back and recognize that there is a higher approach.
And this is the approach that we have been talking
about throughout this conference, of Being instead
of doing. I will not expound upon it in detail
for it already has been done and more will be
said as time is appropriate. But I do want you
to contemplate the concept that as long as you
are transcending yourself and taking one step
at a time – and continuing to take one
step at a time without stopping – then
you are moving forward. And that is really what
God wants you to do. And if you keep moving
forward, taking one step at a time, you will
eventually reach your goal.
And so on the one hand there is the extreme
of thinking that you need to attain this high
goal and thinking that if you do all the outer
things, you must be on the way to that goal
and you must be a good chela. On the other hand
there is the extreme of thinking that you could
not possibly reach that goal, and therefore
you are no good and therefore there is no point
in trying. But again, there is the middle way,
my beloved. And that is what we desire you to
find, for that is the key to peace of mind.
You see, my beloved, when you ascend, you look
back at your time on Earth and you see that
all of your embodiments were a journey. And
then you look forward and you see that even
though you are now an ascended being, way up
there is the Creator and the God Consciousness.
And there is a long road from where you are
to the God Consciousness. And so you realize
that life is a very long journey. And then you
see that there is no point in thinking that
only when you reach the end goal will you be
able to relax, to feel at peace and to enjoy
what you have attained. You realize that each
time you take a step forward, you have the potential
to feel that sense of victory and joy. And you
see that it really was pointless that when you
were in embodiment you tortured yourself by
feeling inadequate. And that is what I want
to impart to you today.
You see, my beloved, it is so easy to think
that you could not possibly attain what you
see others attaining, be it this or that spiritual
master. But the reality is that you can
attain it—if you keep moving forward.
And the reality is that although there is an
end goal on the journey called life, there is
an almost infinite number of steps. And thus,
the journey will not become enjoyable until
you decide to enjoy rising from one step to
the next. And my beloved, you can decide that
at any level of the journey, be it in the ascended
realm or here in the material universe. And
I would love nothing more than seeing all of
you reach that level of inner peace, of allowing
yourself to enjoy the journey, allowing yourself
to feel that sense of victory when you have
taken one step forward.
Let life flow from within
Look at the movement we have here. Look at these
messengers who have no plan for what should
happen three, six, ten months from now, or ten
years from now. They are simply moving with
the flow. And you too can move with the flow
instead of feeling like you are always behind.
Look at yourselves and consider what you have
experienced for these two short days and then
realize that you have been in a different sphere.
You have been in an environment that is a taste
of Heaven, a taste of what it is like to be
in the ascended realm and be free from the duality
and the ego.
Perhaps you have not been able to fully see
this, to fully appreciate it. But I encourage
you to reflect on this in the coming days. And
I encourage you to find your highest sense of
peace, your highest sense of joy that you have
experienced in these two days. And then I encourage
you to hold on to that in the days, weeks, and
months ahead. Think back to that sense of inner
peace and freedom and allow it to grow.
Be aware that as you go forth from here, you
will go back into your normal environment and
you are likely to be challenged by the forces
of anti-peace who will try to take you away
from peace, try to take you down from the consciousness
you have glimpsed here. But if you will hold
on to your highest sense of peace and carry
it with you – and take some time to meditate
on it and allow it to grow like a plant that
is being watered through your attention –
then you will be able to carry that with you
and maintain it and even expand it in the weeks
and months ahead.
And so, my beloved, as my final message it is
my privilege to tell you that we of the Ascended
Host consider that this conference was an absolute
victory for the light. It has been short, and
certainly in the future we would like to see
a longer conference on the European continent.
Yet despite the short duration, so much has
been accomplished that we are entirely satisfied.
And we indeed feel a strong urge to congratulate
you with what has been accomplished here.
And thus, I leave you with this sense of gratitude,
this sense of victory. And I want you to feel
and recognize that you have indeed performed
an invaluable and incalculable service for the
cause of the Ascended Host by coming together
and attaining the state of oneness that you
have attained, as has been witnessed by several
of the rosaries you have given. Where the perceptive
ear will hear that beyond the outer voices is
a congruency, a oneness of heart, soul and mind.
Thus, my beloved, with all the gratitude of
a Mother’s heart, I seal you each one.
And those who had to leave early, I seal as
well, and I seal this conference and this forcefield
and I say, “You are my beloved sons and
daughters in whom I am well pleased.”
It is done. It is finished. It is sealed. For
the mouth of the Lord, the Mother of God, has
spoken it.
