Overcoming
the planetary momentum of death
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.
