A
dictation by Mother Mary
NOTE: This dictation was given during the Shangra-la
Summer Conference on the Big Island of Hawaii,
June 27, 2008.
NOTE: As a meditation before this dictation
was replayed the mantras from the previous dictation
by Maraytaii.
My beloved hearts, say with me now the mantra
given by the Great Divine Director, of his ancient
name:
[Audience chants] EUTAI …
(9x)
Now say with me the feminine counterpart of
that mantra, which is MARAYTAII:
[Audience chants] MARAYTAII
… (9x)
My beloved hearts, I Mary, as the representative
of the Divine Mother for the Earth, come to
give you some thoughts about what it means to
be the Divine Mother, how it feels to be the
Divine Mother. For some of you have raised the
question, my beloved, what did it feel like
for the Divine Mother to be murdered on Lemuria
or to see her representative in embodiment be
murdered in Lemuria.
And so you realize, my beloved, that a spiritual
being does not have human emotions—as
you are used to experiencing them on Earth.
For you see, my beloved, the Divine Mother has
ultimate and absolute respect for the Divine
Father. The expressed God has ultimate respect
for the unexpressed God. And it is the design
and the will of the unexpressed God that all
self-conscious extensions of itself should have
free will.
And so, as the Divine Mother, we accept and
respect that free will to the ultimate degree
that we allow ourselves to be the instrument
for the outplaying of that free will, in terms
of allowing the Ma-ter Light that we are –
the Ma-ter Light that is an extension of our
Being – to be used by human beings and
other self-aware beings throughout the cosmos
in any way they see fit. Vowing to allow that
light to outpicture absolutely any form that
God's co-creators decide to project upon it
through the power of their minds.
And so you see, my beloved, we who are one with
the Divine Mother – who are the Divine
Mother – we have made a decision to allow
the outplaying of free will. And thus, once
we have made that decision, my beloved, we do
not waver, we do not doubt, we do not argue
back and forth, we do not analyze—as you
so often do on Earth. We are true to the decision
because it is made with the totality of our
Beings, my beloved. And thus, we have no feelings,
as you conceive of feelings, concerning how
free will will outplay itself.
See the cosmic perspective
So you see, my beloved, we who are one with
the Divine Mother, we who recognize ourselves
as expressions of the unexpressed God –
as God in form, as God in mater-realization
– we, my beloved, see the cosmic perspective.
So we see that when a person on a small planet
called Earth represents the Divine Mother, then
the purpose of that person being in embodiment
is not to be the leader of a particular religion,
but to serve the greater cause of raising the
awareness of the self-aware co-creators. Even
those who have forgotten who they are and therefore
are not strictly speaking self-aware. But who
nevertheless have the potential at any moment
to switch back into self-awareness, the awareness
of the self as a spiritual being, as an extension
of God.
And thus, our purpose is always to facilitate
that growth in consciousness that is the ultimate
purpose of the world of form. The growth that
we fully realize can only – only –
happen through free will. For it cannot be forced,
my beloved. Self-awareness, the expansion of
self-awareness cannot be forced from outside
the self. It must come from within the self.
And thus we recognize that after beings lost
their way, then they started outpicturing all
kinds of manifestations on Earth that were not
in alignment with their highest potential—the
immaculate concept that we hold. Yet, in our
infinite and unconditional love, this did not
cause us to go into a negative feeling of anger,
frustration, or even wanting to blame or punish.
We simply accepted what was. For we always accept
what is—as an outplaying of free will.
And thus, our concern is then how we can help
a lifestream that has started descending the
spiral staircase come to the turning point and
again start ascending. And as such, we must
meet people wherever they have chosen to descend
in consciousness. And we do so with no judgment,
with no fear, anger, blame—all the negative
human emotions. And my beloved, why do we not
have such emotions? Because as was said earlier
– which you surely recognize was an inspiration
from me – we do not have any "shoulds"
or "should-nots." The word "should"
is not in our vocabulary.
Do you need to always have opinions?
For you see, my beloved, when you truly, fully,
unconditionally accept free will, you do not
even have an opinion about what people should
or should not do with their free will. You set
them free to experiment and we, as the representatives
of the Divine Mother, allow self-conscious beings
to outpicture whatever they want to outpicture,
allowing our light to take on the form that
they think they need for some reason or another.
Often, my beloved, it is because they are blinded
by the ego, which only sees itself and cannot
possibly see the cosmic perspective that we
see. And thus, the ego is focused on itself—and
our focus is on helping the Conscious Self of
that person see that the ego is trapped in dualistic
lies and illusions, and that the Conscious Self
truly does not need the ego.
But yet, what does it take for the Conscious
Self to come to that realization? Well, sometimes
it takes that a lifestream outpictures certain
manifestations that from a human perspective
might seem negative or selfish. But they are
nevertheless necessary for the lifestream to
realize that this is not truly what it needs.
This is not fulfilling its true needs, its true
longing for something more to life, the longing
that the ego can never share and cannot understand
but can recognize is there.
And thus the ego seeks to compensate for it
by forcing the Conscious Self to believe that
it needs something in this world. And thus,
the person then seeks to attain that something,
whatever it may be, and only – in many
cases – when that something has been attained,
will the Conscious Self awaken and realize,
"No, this did not complete me, this is
not what I was seeking, there must be something
more to life."
And then – often – it happens that
the ego manages to convince the Conscious Self
that although what it previously told it that
it needed was not the real thing, then surely
this other thing in the matter world will satisfy
the Conscious Self's longing. And sometimes
it takes many lifetimes before the Conscious
Self awakens and says, "Maybe what I am
truly longing for is something that I cannot
find in this world? Maybe I can never attain
a sense of completeness from anything in this
world, maybe there is something beyond that
world. And maybe I should start looking for
it?"
And that, my beloved, is when the soul comes
to the turning point. It has reached the lowest
level on the spiral staircase to which it needs
to descend. And now it can pause, it can start
shifting its gaze from the self-centeredness
of the ego to a broader perspective. It can
start looking up the spiral staircase and realize
that perhaps it can find what it is seeking
by ascending the staircase—since it now
is beginning to realize that it might never
find it by descending the staircase.
You no longer remember what it was like
to be blind
And so you see, my beloved, many of you who
are spiritual people and have reached that turning
point many, many lifetimes ago – or perhaps
some of you did not even have to descend to
a low point – so many of you can no longer
remember how it was to be so trapped in the
ego's illusions that you were always looking
for completion or security or belonging in the
material world.
And thus it is difficult for you to understand
and show patience for those around you that
you see outpicturing conditions that you can
clearly see will only limit themselves and can
never lead to any kind of fulfillment. And you
are of course right, but you are not right when
you cross the subtle line of thinking that because
you can see it, others should also be able to
see it.
For you must realize, my beloved, that the reason
why you can see something is because you have
come to an inner realization. Yet these other
people have not yet come to that inner realization,
and your inner realization has no effect on
someone else. And thus, what unfortunately happens
to many sincere lifestreams – even many
who descended to Earth for the purpose of seeking
to raise the consciousness of humankind –
is that they get lost in the illusions, they
get seduced by the illusions of duality, the
original illusions of the original
fallen angels who started believing that
it would be better if they could override free
will and force people to be saved.
And thus, you start believing, my beloved, that
other people should start living their lives
according to your inner realization. And thus,
you become caught up in the game that you see
in most mainstream religions, of seeking to
want to change people's outer behavior, or outer
beliefs, instead of following what has always
been the true path of the Ascended Host—namely
seeking to help people attain the inner realization
that is the only key to their progress and growth.
Do you see, my beloved, the fundamental difference
between the approach taken by the Ascended Host
and the approach taken by the fallen beings
who are seeking to control? And my beloved,
many of them actually believe they are doing
this for a greater cause. They are doing it
because it is right, it is in the best interest
of all the people. It is even in the best interest
of the unfoldment of God's plan. For God simply
cannot understand his own plan and his own creation.
For surely these fallen beings understand it
better than the Creator itself.
Beware of the ego’s subtleties
And this is then the ultimate blindness of the
ego. Yet I must tell you that this consciousness
– which is essentially the consciousness
that the ends can justify the means –
is very subtle, very persuasive. And it is very
pervasive in religious and spiritual movements,
even in Ascended Masters organizations, my beloved.
If you study the organizations that we have
sponsored in the last century alone, you will
see a very clear tendency for the members to
believe that they belong to some superior teaching.
And therefore, it was only in the best interest
of the people, and of God's plan, and of the
plan of the Ascended Host, if others were gently
forced to see the validity of their teaching,
even holding the vision that everyone on Earth
was converted to their teaching.
Yet failing to see that this was simply their
egos, playing the ultimate trick of wanting
to convert every human being on Earth to its
own belief system, thereby thinking it could
prove that this was the one true, absolute,
infallible belief system on Earth. A fallacy,
of course, which the Conscious Self can never
be fully satisfied with. Nevertheless, the Conscious
Self can be seduced into pursuing this cause
for a very long time before it starts realizing
that this is not actually what it is seeking.
For it starts realizing that there must be more
to God than what can be captured in any belief
system on Earth, my beloved.
And thus, we look to you who are part of this
new initiative, to be wiser. And I do not say
this in order to encourage a sense of superiority,
but I do say it as a test as to whether you
will use it to build a sense of superiority.
But we do look to you, who have been given a
more advanced teaching, to be wiser than previous
students in not building the sense of superiority,
the sense that you have a superior teaching
and that all others should – by force
if necessary – be converted to that teaching.
Knowing the Way of the Cosmic Christ
For we look to you to see, my beloved, that
when Jesus made the statement "I am the
way, the truth, and the life. No man cometh
unto the Father, but by me," then, my beloved,
this too was a test to see if those who followed
Christ would build that sense of superiority,
would allow the ego and the false teachers to
turn the movement of Christianity into one more
religion based on the concept that this is the
only true one.
And so you see, we look for you to acknowledge
that when Jesus made such statements, and others
that are not recorded in the Bible, my beloved,
that he was speaking as a representative of
the Cosmic Christ, the universal Christ mind.
And thus, when he said, "I am the way,
the truth and the life," it was the Cosmic
Christ speaking through him. And thus the universal
Christ mind is the way, the truth, and the life,
my beloved.
You who have been given a teaching, should not
fall prey to the trap of thinking that you should
turn this teaching into a system, and that system
is now the only true way. For what is the true
way? Well, it is the consciousness of Christ,
the spiritual consciousness, the consciousness
of the Divine Mother, of the Divine Father,
and of the Holy Spirit, my beloved.
And so, you recognize, I trust, that this is
the consciousness that is the Way. And it is
the potential in every lifestream to shift its
sense of identity, to tune into that universal
consciousness, realize that it is an extension
of the One Being, of the Creator, and thus overcome
separation and duality.
That, my beloved, is the Way. And that way cannot
be followed if you think that you have now found
or defined some ultimate belief system on Earth,
and thus all you need is to follow the prescripts
of that belief system until you are somehow
magically saved at some future time.
And thus, my beloved, the true way is the Path
of Oneness. Oneness with your higher being,
with your Creator, with your spiritual lineage
Above. And oneness here below, between people
in embodiment, who no longer see themselves
as human beings, but as the spiritual beings
that you truly are.
Understanding the Holy Spirit
And so, my beloved, as another thought I would
comment on the concept of the Holy Spirit. For
the reality is that the Holy Spirit was introduced
in the West by Jesus, who said that after his
ascension he would ask the Father to send another
Comforter to Earth. And so, my beloved, the
Holy Spirit then can be explained as the collective
momentum of all who have walked the true Path
of Oneness. In the case of the Earth, it is
the collective momentum of all those who have
actually ascended from the Earth, or have at
least passed the initiations of the material
realm and thus contributed to the creation of
an upward spiral.
And every time a Being ascends from Earth, that
Being adds its own momentum to that collectiveness
of the Holy Spirit, that flow of the Holy Spirit.
Jesus did so, Krishna did so, the Buddha did
so. All beings who have ascended have added
their momentum to it, increasing it every time,
making it easier for people to tune in to that
Holy Spirit, my beloved. And therefore receive
a portion of the Spirit that allows you to know
truth from within and allows you to go out and
speak that truth with the power that has the
power to awaken people from their blindness,
to shake them out of their blindness and thus
give them an impetus for that inner realization.
You see, my beloved, that this does not force
people to have that inner realization. But it
gives them the foundation for having it if they
are open and willing to have it. And thus, the
power of the Holy Spirit can cut through the
density of the collective consciousness, the
density of a person's own past momentums, so
that the person is shaken and therefore is,
so to speak, in an interval in time—put
on pause. The person's mind is put on pause,
and now the person has a moment to tune in within
and ask if there is more to understand about
life, more to experience about life, than the
person's ego-based, fear-based dualistic belief
system.
And so, my beloved, what will it take for you
to tune in to the Holy Spirit? Well, it will
take for you, my beloved, discernment, so you
can discern between the Holy Spirit and the
many false spirits that have been created. For
you see, my beloved, there is only one Holy
Spirit, because the Holy Spirit is created out
of the momentum of those who have successfully
walked the Path of Oneness.
And thus, of course, they can only create one
unified Spirit. Yet you must understand also
that those who have walked the path of separation,
they have also created a momentum of the false
spirits, and there are of necessity many of
those, my beloved, although some have grown
strong because of the collective momentum added
onto them by many people in embodiment, even
beings who are no longer allowed to enter embodiment
on Earth but need to stay in other realms or
have gone to the second death. They still have
added to that momentum of the false spirits.
How to have discernment
And so you need to have discernment, my beloved,
so that you know what is the Holy Spirit and
a false spirit. And of course, many things can
be used to gradually build your discernment,
including considering whether a spirit seeks
to make you feel superior to others. For then
you know that it cannot be the one Holy Spirit,
but only a dualistic spirit.
But you also need, my beloved, to make a critical
assessment of yourself, to look in the mirror,
to look for the beam in your own eye. For I
tell you, my beloved, what makes you susceptible
to the lower spirits is your attachment to one
of your ego's desires, which then makes you
vulnerable to hearing what you and your ego
want to hear in order to fulfill that desire.
And thus, many of you have certain false concepts
about the spiritual path, about your role on
Earth, such as I expounded upon earlier, about
you thinking it is okay to force people into
the one true religion for their own good. If
you have such desires, my beloved, or even a
desire to be seen as a savior of the people,
perhaps even THE savior of the people, well
then you cannot hear the Holy Spirit, my beloved.
For what will the Holy Spirit tell you? It will
tell you how to overcome duality and enter into
oneness. For the Holy Spirit is an extension
of those who have walked that Path of Oneness.
And thus it will expose all illusions in your
being. Not all at once, but as you can handle
it, and as you are willing.
And thus, my beloved, if you have those self-centered
desires of wanting to raise up yourself or do
some ultimate service for God – thinking
that God will reward you and make you an important
person, either on Earth or in Heaven –
well then you will not hear the Holy Spirit
when it whispers to you as the still small voice
within. You will hear the loud voice of a spirit
who will tell you that this is how you can achieve
your desire, this is how you can fulfill God's
cause—by doing this or that outer thing,
my beloved, achieving some kind of glory or
recognition from the world.
Be not deceived by your own desires
And so you see, you are deceived by your desires,
your attachments, that center around raising
up the separate self, rather than letting the
separate self die, seeking only to raise the
All. But you see, my beloved, the All is also
in you, so there is a certain validity to raising
up God in yourself—for how can you help
raise up God in all life if you have not first
done it in yourself. But you see that when you
raise up the All in yourself, it is fundamentally
different than seeking to raise up the separate
self.
And so, my beloved, I must tell you that the
key to attaining this discernment is to strive
for balance in all things. And this is where
some of you could make great progress on your
path, by striving for balance, by being willing
to acknowledge where you have been out of balance,
where you have attained unbalanced desires of
seeking to raise up the separate self, for some
grand scheme or another.
Perhaps even thinking that you are destined
to be a messenger or a representative of the
Ascended Host, my beloved. And thus listening
to the false spirits who tell you that there
is a shortcut to attaining this status, where
you do not need to expose the beam in your own
eye, even though all other representatives of
the Ascended Host have had to do so. No, you
are special, so you do not need to follow that
path of discipline that Jesus demonstrated.
For perhaps, maybe you are even more important
than Jesus, you are higher than Jesus, you are
more spiritually evolved. Or whatever the ego
and the false teachers will whisper in your
ear, my beloved.
And if you have an unbalanced desire, you might
begin to believe this and entertain grand visions
of what should happen – what SHOULD happen
– my beloved. So the question is, when
do you then come to the point of giving up this
idea of what should happen, so that you are
willing to step into the River of Life and flow
with that river. Which will raise you up but
only to the extent that you are working to raise
up the All. The All in yourself, the All in
all others.
You are close to a higher level of service
And so, my beloved, I ask you to ponder that
some of you do have a certain attainment that
has brought you to a point, where you are close
to being able to serve the Ascended Host in
a more direct capacity than you are doing right
now. Perhaps as you see these messengers doing,
although your way of service might be different.
But nevertheless, the image I want you to hold
is that you might be close to stepping up to
that more direct form of service. But there
may still be an imbalance somewhere in your
being, that is deceiving you and thus making
you susceptible to the lower spirits that whisper
in your ear and thus prevent you – with
their constant unceasing chatter – from
hearing the still small voice of the Holy Spirit
who never seeks to force but only seeks to awaken
and inspire.
And thus, if you would take an honest assessment,
study our teachings on the ego – study
the new Course
in Christhood that Jesus has so lovingly
prepared for you – well then you might
realize that if you are willing to let go of
a few illusions – perhaps just one grand
illusion – then you can actually step
up to that service, where you can be more of
an open door and start fulfilling that part
of your divine plan.
But I ask you to recognize, my beloved, that
until you are willing to give up the unbalanced
desires, you will not be able to serve as an
open door for the Ascended Host. You will only
become an instrument of the false teachers,
who will whisper some grand scheme in your ear,
rather than the true reality of oneness—the
oneness of all life.
Warning or encouragement?
And thus, these teachings that I have given
you can be seen in two ways. One as a warning
that some of you are dabbling in the false spirits,
allowing them to deceive you because you will
not admit that you have deceived yourself with
your ego's desires.
Or my teachings could be seen as a reward for
the fact that some of you have risen to a level
of the path, and some of you have used the teachings
we have given, to the point where you are close
to breaking through to a higher level of service.
Both interpretations are valid, and I leave
you with both of them, so that you might honestly
consider which one applies to you, or whether
both of them apply to you, my beloved. For is
it not always safe to assume that while you
are in embodiment you might be somewhat susceptible
to the duality consciousness, and therefore
need to be constantly alert for how it might
creep in to your container of self?
My gift
Thus,
my beloved, in gratitude for your attention,
for your physical and spiritual presence, I
will give you a gift—that you might attune
to my heart, that you might ask me, as you are
willing and able, to release to you my unconditional
love for you. So that you can sense that unconditional
love and thus let it set you free from all consciousness
of wanting to force others or, my beloved, force
yourself to live up to some image based on the
"shoulds" or "should-nots"
created by the masters of duality, the masters
of deceit. Thus I ask you to play a piece of
meditation music while you tune in to my heart
and my unconditional love, my beloved.
My beloved, I instructed this messenger to hold
his hands up, that you might have the image
that I radiate my unconditional love through
his hands, in case you need a physical focus.
Yet I trust you will know that unconditional
love is everywhere, and thus does not truly
need to be radiated from any particular vessel,
but can be radiated right within yourself, right
within your own being, right within these cells
and atoms of your being. For truly, unconditional
love knows no conditions, so how can there be
conditions that shut out unconditional love
from some place?
[Ave Maria by Schubert playing]
Thus, my beloved, having received the Alpha
portion of this gift, I now ask you to realize
that unconditional love wants to flow and raise
up all life. So I ask you to now visualize that
you are the open door, you are the transformers,
so to speak, that you received the unconditional
love from Above, and you radiate it out to this
Earth, to the people or conditions or causes
that are dear to your heart. Seeking to raise
it up in accordance with the teachings on free
will I have given.
Thus I ask you to play another piece of music
and thus visualize that the unconditional love
is not only flowing into you but is flowing
through you, my beloved. And thus, your entire
being, every cell and atom in your being, vibrates
with that unconditional love and radiates it
out to the condition that you visualize as being
raised up by that unconditional love.
[Un Bel Di (from Madam Butterfly) playing]
And thus, my beloved, my gratitude. And I seal
you in the Flame of the Divine Mother, the Flame
of Unconditional Love.
