Reconnecting
to the love that brought you to this world
A message from Mother Mary
NOTE: This dictation was delivered on April 7, 2007 during the Shangra-la
Easter Conference. The participants had given the Rosary
for Loving Yourself before the dictation.
My beloved hearts, you have earned my Presence with you, for you have
given this rosary with such love that I desire to share with you the
Presence of the Divine Mother, the Presence of the nurturing love that
truly all of you have need of. For you have – for a long time
– embodied in a world that is not only devoid of love but is filled
with anti-love.
And so it is impossible to be in this world without being wounded, without
being hurt, by those who are so trapped in anti-love that they actually
feel threatened by anyone who expresses love.
And so, when they are exposed to those who express love, they feel they
have to somehow silence them, beat them down, stop the flow of love
through them, so that they can overcome the sense of panic that literally
makes them believe they will die if they receive true love.
Recognize that Earth is a planet with much anti-love
And so, my beloved, the view I would give you is a view that has been
expressed in my own book and in Maitreya's book. But I would express
it in a slightly clearer way. You should look upon this planet not the
way you were brought up to look at it—whatever that might be.
You should look upon it as a world that is designed specifically to
give certain beings an opportunity to live in a world where they can
deny God's presence for as long as they like—or almost as long
as they like.
And so, you who are the spiritual people should realize that you have
come here as a sacrifice. You came here because you desired to descend
into this world, where so many beings had become trapped in anti-love
and you wanted to bring the sunlight of love, to give them an opportunity
to experience that there is something beyond anti-love. And so, when
you look at this, you can realize that you volunteered to come into
a situation that you knew would be very difficult. You knew that your
love would be rejected, you knew that you would be hurt and bruised.
And, my beloved, I am not saying this to justify the hurt, to justify
the abuse. I am saying it because when you accept the reality of this
planet, you can overcome the very dysfunctional and non-productive attitude
of feeling that you should not have been treated this way, that something
is wrong, perhaps even feeling, as has been mentioned before, that "God
should not have allowed this to happen to me."
And you see, my beloved, when you go into that frame of mind –
of feeling that some injustice has been done to you on Earth, possibly
even that God has been unjust toward you – then you inevitably
become a victim of the consciousness of anti-love that you came here
to eradicate.
And then you cut off the flow of God's love through your being. And
now you feel that God has abandoned you, for you no longer experience
that love. But, my beloved, it is not that God has abandoned you. It
is, as is said in this wonderful rosary, that when you do not feel God's
love flowing through you, you do not feel God's love for
you.
For love is not a static force, it cannot be captured, it cannot be
controlled, it cannot be put in a mental box. It can be experienced
only when you allow it to flow. And so when you allow yourself to become
trapped in the consciousness of anti-love, then you shut off the flow
and now you no longer experience unconditional love.So then what is
left?
Well, only conditional love is left—the worldly form of love,
that even those who are trapped in anti-love need. For surely there
is not one being who can live without love. But the problem is that
so many beings cannot receive the true unconditional love, and so they
are on an impossible quest, a never-ending quest, to fill the desire
for love. But they are seeking to fill it with conditional love, thinking
that the love they receive should live up to certain conditions and
that they should seek to possess the love or the persons through whom
that love is being expressed.
You came here to bring love
You see, my beloved, this becomes a Catch 22. And so, as Saint
Germain so eloquently put it last night, we who are your spiritual
teachers face the dilemma of how to awaken you without shattering your
self-esteem, or even your sense of identity. And truly, the only way
to truly escape the duality consciousness is by reconnecting to the
love that is still there in the core of your being.
For my beloved, I realize you are in this world and you look at life
and the universe from inside the mental box of this world. But I tell
you that you did not come here, you did not decide to descend here,
with the limited perspective you have now. And so even though you may
have been bruised and hurt and have shut off the flow of God's love
and feel abandoned by God, I can assure you that you came here out of
love.
I realize that there are some of you who have come here from higher
realms and who feel that you have been unjustly sent here by God. But
nevertheless, you did not start in that higher realm. You started in
an even higher realm. There was a point where your lifestream decided
to first descend into the world of form, into
the latest sphere in the world of form. And that decision was based
on love, the desire to express your true God quality, your true divine
individuality, and bring that gift to the world, to light up a world.
And so it is possible for you to go beyond the outer facade and reconnect
to the core of that love in your being. And when you do so, you will
realize that you love something more than what you are experiencing
right now. And I tell you, my beloved, it is only when you recognize
that you have a love for something more than what you have right now
that you can overcome your current limitations. For you can overcome
your current limitations only in one way, namely, as we have explained
many times, by letting the old sense of identity die. And in order to
be willing to let the old die, you must have a love for something more.
Which then makes you realize that letting the old die does not mean
a loss, for you will be reborn into a higher state of identity.
You see, my beloved, when you have the negative awakening that Saint
Germain talked about – where you realize that you are a terrible
person and you need to change, you are a miserable sinner – then
your sense of self-esteem is shattered and you feel like in order to
overcome the bad aspects of yourself, you have to destroy your sense
of self. Because you think there is no sense of self beyond the ego.
You cannot overcome selfishness by destroying the self
So my beloved, there are indeed people in this world, both in traditional
religions and even in new spiritual movements, who believe that the
way to spiritual growth is to destroy all sense of self, all sense of
a separate self. But you see, my beloved, this is coming from a negative.
This is coming from wanting to eliminate a negative by creating another
negative or by destroying the first negative which is another negative
action. And so as two wrongs do not make a right, you cannot correct
an imperfection by acting out another imperfection.
So there is no way to destroy something, for deep within you, you have
a basic survival instinct that is even beyond the survival instinct
of the body and the survival instinct of the ego. Because your true
divine individuality wants to survive and wants to grow and wants to
express itself in this world—it wants to fulfill its original
reason for being, its reason for coming here. And so, if you try to
destroy all sense of self, you end up working against yourself, seeking
to destroy not only the false sense of self of the ego but also the
true sense of self of your divine individuality.
And this simply cannot be done. You may actually be able to destroy
much of your sense of self but you will eventually come to a point,
where the inner conflict becomes so intense, so illogical, so contradictory
that you simply cannot stand it anymore. And so this is not the way.
The way to salvation is not through self-denial or self-destruction.
It is through self-transcendence.
You are not seeking to destroy the old self. You are simply seeking
to transcend it and be reborn into a new self, a higher self, that replaces
the old. Yet, the trick, my beloved, is – as Jesus demonstrated
on the cross – you cannot be reborn into the new until you allow
the old to die.
And so here is where the scary part comes in. For there will be a cosmic
interval between the death of the old and the resurrection of the Conscious
You into a higher sense of identity. And so, when you let the old
die, you will literally feel like you are plunging yourself into a vacuum.
I say you will feel like it, because in reality you will not. Your conscious
self will not lose consciousness. It will remain conscious. But as you
are at the moment of having to give up the old self, you will feel like
there will be nothing after that old self. And that is what Jesus experienced
on the cross when he cried out, "My God, my God, why hast thou
forsaken me?"
What was it that pulled Jesus beyond that state of fear and paralysis,
that state of panic? Well, it was that he had integrated into his being
the higher love that brought him into this world. He had uncovered that
love, and so he knew in his conscious mind why he originally came here.
And therefore, he did not feel like a victim of life. He did not feel
that God had unjustly sent him into this world. For even though he had
his trials and tribulations, deep within him he knew that he had volunteered
to come here and he knew what could happen to him.
So because he had the conscious awareness of the deeper, innermost love
of his being, he realized that he simply needed to give up the ghost
of the last vestiges of the separate self. And in his love for God he
was willing to do that. And so what I am saying to you is that the essential
key to everything is to reconnect to the deeper love of your being,
the innermost love of your being, that originally caused you to volunteer
to descend into the denser sphere to bring your light and your love.
And so this is a topic you might meditate upon as you go from here.
Reconnect to your original love
This is something you can take with you, the idea of seeking to reconnect
to the original love of your being. And, my beloved, my
entire book is designed to help you reconnect to that inner love.
And I assure you that that book was designed to help a broad range of
people, even those who for a very long time have been trapped in the
consciousness of anti-love.
And so no matter how far you might have descended into anti-love, if
you will keep reading and re-reading and studying and absorbing my book
while you give the rosaries, then you will eventually break through.
For I assure you that I am a capable spiritual teacher. And I am capable
of taking a child by the hand, even if it is an unruly child, and bringing
that child to my heart—even if the child comes kicking and screaming.
For my beloved, I have dealt with my share of unruly children, one of
which bore the name of Jesus, who was by no means an easy child, as
he well knows. [Laughter] And as we have often sat together and chuckled
about some of his naughtiness, some of his stubbornness, some of his
extreme sense that he was right. [Laughter]
So you see, my beloved, when you are in a human body, you have certain
human imperfections. But so what? They are all unreal, they can all
be transcended, they can all be left behind. There is not one of you
who cannot transcend your imperfections. But you can only transcend
them by letting them go. And you can only let them go when you know
that there is going to be something to take their place, something that
is more than the imperfection.
And you can only know that through love. Because when you reconnect
to the original love, you also reconnect to the source of that love.
And therefore, you know that you came from that source. And therefore,
you know that you are infinitely more than your present sense of identity.
My beloved, think back to the meditation of yesterday of seeing the
images of distant galaxies and the vastness of this physical universe,
and see how it gives you a different perspective. And you realize how
small the Earth is compared to the vastness of the physical universe.
Well, when you reconnect to your original love, you take that broader
perspective to an even higher level. You magnify it a billion, billion
times. For God's love is infinitely greater than the vastness of the
material universe, and so you have an entirely different perspective.
And it is through that perspective that you can see how ridiculously
insignificant are these things that you have held on to on this planet,
and that other people hold on to. And that is when you can let them
go. And that is when you can reconnect to your original purpose, so
that when the angel of God appears to you within your heart –
in the form of your Christ Self – to remind you that it is time
to start some aspect of your own divine plan then – instead of
rejecting it, instead of explaining it away, instead of finding some
clever reasoning why you cannot possibly do this now—perhaps in
10,000 lifetimes but not today – then instead of this reaction
you can simply come to that point of surrender and say, "Oh Lord,
be it unto me according to thy will."
For you realize that the Lord is not the remote being in the sky who
is seeking to force his will upon you. The Lord truly is your own higher
being. And you are only being reminded of the higher choices you made
when you had the broader perspective that has been lost as you entered
the denseness of this world.
You have earned a special dispensation
So my beloved, I am eternally grateful for your giving of all of my
rosaries. But I am especially grateful of these two, the Clearing
of the Heart and the Loving
of Yourself. For they have opened up your hearts to a point where
I can give you a special dispensation, which is that I will give you
some moments – where we will play music – where you can
surrender anything you want to surrender.
And what I will do is that what you can surrender personally, I will
multiply by a certain multiplication factor, so that your personal surrender
has a multiplied impact on the collective consciousness. And so for
each limitation that you can surrender, thereby setting yourself free,
you can also set free a substantial number of other people. Certainly,
this is subject to their free will. But by your surrender, they will
get a better opportunity to surrender themselves. And this is again
how we have the figure-eight flow between us here above and you below,
as Nada
so beautifully explained.
And so your willingness to surrender then becomes, as Jesus' willingness
to surrender his physical life, the one thing that can be multiplied
and therefore count for many. Truly, as they say, Jesus came to give
his life as ransom for many (Matthew 20:28). But the deeper meaning
is that Jesus' willingness to surrender – instead of holding on
– became the true sacrifice, the acceptable offering, that then
enabled the lifting of a certain amount of burden from humankind, thereby
making it easier for others to follow in Jesus' footsteps and raise
themselves above duality.
So, my beloved, we will now give you this opportunity to surrender.
[Music playing]
My beloved hearts, flow with the music, flow with the River of Life.
Allow yourself to feel how – in your heart, in your mind, in your
being – you are letting go. Letting go of what you think you need
to hold on to on the banks of the river that keeps you outside that
flow of the River of Life. Just feel how something within you lets go.
You are letting go and flowing with the River of Life, the ocean of
God's love, where there is no separation, no darkness, no fear, no anger.
And you are one with life itself. You are one in that River of Life
where nothing can be separate. For all is light and no shadows remain.
[Music playing]
Thus, my beloved, with great gratitude for your willingness to participate
in this interchange, I seal you in the love of my heart. I seal you
against the forces of anti-love who would surely – if they could
– disturb your newfound peace and surrender.
And thus I say to you, “Be sealed in the nurturing love of the
Divine Mother. And remain sealed in the Eternal NOW that is the flow
of that love.”
It is finished!
NOTE: To take full advantage of the dispensation to surrender, listen
to the audio file of this dictation and go through the process of surrender.
