Be spiritual
regardless of outer conditions
A message from Mother Mary. NOTE: This dictation was
delivered during the Shangra-la Peace conference near Stockholm, Sweden,
September 30, 2006.
My beloved hearts, I am Mary the Mother of all life. For I have become
one with the flame of the Divine Mother that truly encompasses all life
in the material world and all life in the spiritual realm. I come with
a message of peace, of love and of gratitude. For truly, we, the Ascended
Host, are grateful that you have come to be here with us.
My beloved, it might seem as if we meet in strange places—in this
place in Sweden. But think about the conditions that Jesus and his disciples
endured many years ago when they walked the dusty roads of ancient Palestine.
Many Christians have grown up with a vastly distorted image of Jesus
and his image, thinking there was great glory, fame and fortune and
that Jesus was treated as the celebrities you have today.
But my beloved, the reality was far different. For Jesus did not stay
long enough on Earth to become a celebrity as you understand it today.
He was not known beyond the borders of Palestine. And even within Palestine
he was not known by many people, nor was he revered as he is revered
by Christians today. After all, he was born in a manger. And why was
this so? It was to show human beings the all-important truth that it
is not the way things appear to the outer senses or the outer mind that
is important. What is important is what is not seen with the senses
but what can be felt and experienced in the heart.
This, my beloved, is what counts. This is all that counts. And thus,
we have always attempted to help the spiritual people see that it is
not the outer appearances that are ultimately real, that the outer appearances
are not permanent and that they truly have no power over your mind—unless
you allow your minds to become identified with the outer conditions,
even with the ego itself.
The call for spiritual people
So you see, the call for the spiritual people has always been to be
spiritual regardless of the outer conditions they face in their personal
lives or on the planet as a whole. The spiritual path, the true spiritual
path, is not a matter of attaining outer fame or fortune or the status
of a celebrity as some church leaders and some preachers have indeed
attained. We do not desire our true servants to be looked upon as celebrities
or to be idolized. We do not desire our true servants to set themselves
up as being above others. For what is the purpose?
The purpose, the true purpose, of all of our servants is to show people
that there is more to life than the outer appearances and that they
do not need to be limited or held back by the material conditions they
face, or even by the psychological conditions they face in their own
minds—but that you can transcend these outer conditions no matter
what they are. And you can become more because the real you, what I
have called the Conscious
You, is more than any outer conditions, more than the ego, more
than the outer personality.
You are not a human being. You are not a piece of living meat. You are
a spark of the flame of God. An individual spirit spark who has the
potential to become one with the All of God’s Being. And yet you
are in a physical body on Earth. And so you face the challenge of balancing
the knowledge that you are a spiritual being with the practical everyday
reality that you all face on this planet. And this, my beloved, is a
challenge that all of us who have descended to Earth have faced.
Jesus and I faced it. And we sometimes had as much difficulty as you
have in balancing the daily reality with our spiritual vision and goals.
My beloved, this is natural. And I do not desire to see you become frustrated
and think that you should be more spiritual, that you should be doing
this or doing that, so that you frustrate yourselves and get down on
yourselves for not doing enough. For truly we have done so ourselves.
We have seen many other spiritual people do so. But in this age, the
Age of Freedom, we desire to see many people rise above that, rise above
that sense that it is not enough, that you are not doing enough.
Nothing you can do will make a difference
But I tell you, that if you are Being who you are, then that is enough.
For in Being here below what you are above, even when you go about your
daily activities, you can radiate the Light. And it is truly the Light
that will make the greatest difference. I am not saying that you should
do nothing to expose the imperfections and the false beliefs on this
planet. I am not saying that you should do nothing about bringing peace.
Nevertheless, it is a wise student who realizes that there is nothing
that you can do that will make the ultimate difference.
Because what will make the ultimate difference is Being. Allowing the
Light of God to flow through your lower being in all aspects of life.
This is what will make the critical difference on Earth. And so we do
not desire you to become frustrated and to come from this sense that,
“I need to be doing more,” so that you get yourself in the
frame of mind where you feel like you are always running behind the
train, and the train is driving away from the station and you can never
quite catch up. And then some people, toward the end of life, feel like
now the platform they are running on is beginning to run out, and they
still have not caught up to the train. And they become even more frustrated
and they try to run even faster.
My beloved, if I could, I would set you free from that mindset which
is another subtle plot of the ego. The ego does not want you to discover
the spiritual path. But when it cannot stop you from doing so, it will
try to turn your spiritual path into a big frustration, where you feel
like you are always behind and it is never enough. So my beloved, allow
yourself to know, to realize, that Being is enough. And then focus on
establishing that inner contact of Being, contact with your Higher Self,
contact with the Ascended Host, whomever is closest to your heart.
And then let your doing flow from your centeredness in Being—and
that way, your doing will be balanced. And thereby, it will not be you
who is doing the work; it will be the Father within you, the God Flame
within you, who is doing the work. And thus, you will know the truth,
that with men it is impossible to create peace in the world. But with
God, with your God Flame, all things are indeed possible. And this is
the key.
A new cycle for Europe
This is a key that many spiritual people have not understood, but that
we desire you to understand—that you may teach it and live it
and demonstrate it to others. So I desire you who are here for this
retreat to feel at peace about being here, to feel at peace about the
entire experience. It is only two short days, but feel at peace. There
is only so much time, but feel at peace about it. For I can assure you
that we will bring you through the program that is necessary to invoke
the Light that we desire to see invoked over these next two days.
My beloved, this event is the starting point of a new cycle for the
continent of Europe, a new opening to a new awareness, a new release
of light. And you will surely hear more about this from other masters.
But I desire you to understand that this event came about because you
were in tune with what the Ascended Host desired to see happen. Therefore,
you are not behind. Do not feel like there is too much to do. Do not
feel overwhelmed. For if you focus on Being and leave the doing to us,
then we will surely do through you when you are being at peace, when
you are centered in the heart, and when you strive for that oneness
that we saw in the class
in Chicago and that we desire to see at every gathering.
Thus, my words are words of comfort, words of peace. Focus on peace
in these next two days, and you will see a transformation in your own
beings. And although you might not see it, I can assure you that there
will be a transformation on this continent, where there has been so
much war in the past, where so many major wars have started, where so
much imperialism, colonialism, has originated that has spread war and
unrest to almost every part of the globe.
And thus, truly, Europe is an essential key to bringing about world
peace. But it cannot happen until the dark energies that were produced
by the first two world wars, and so many other wars, have been consumed
by the flame of peace. For only then will the European nations and the
European peoples be able and willing to look at their past.
Only then will they be able to look at the past without being overwhelmed
by the emotional pain of what happened. And only when they look at the
past without the pain, will they be able to analyze it and be able to
understand the thought process, even the events, that led to war. And
then they can free themselves from that mindset and then become a force
for spreading the knowledge of peace, the reality of peace, the truth
of peace throughout the corners of the globe.
Truly, my beloved, as it is right now, the United States – which
could have been and should have been the major force for world peace
– is not capable of fulfilling that role because it is still too
stuck in black-and-white thinking. This is not only limited to the current
administration, but even to a large portion of the people—which
is why this administration was elected.
So you see in Europe a softening up of black-and-white
thinking, which unfortunately at the current time has been replaced
by gray
thinking, as Jesus has explained. Yet we see the potential that
Europe could move out of gray thinking more quickly than the United
States can move through it. And thus, it is our hope and our plan that
there will be an awakening on the European continent, whereby people
will understand the reality of war, the psychology of war, and then
say, “Enough is enough! We have seen two world wars start on this
continent, and we know the third time will not be the charm. And we
are determined not to see another world war start on this continent.
In fact we are determined not to see it start anywhere, including the
Middle East.”
This my beloved, can indeed happen. And it can happen in time. And thus,
again, I say, “Be at Peace!” For it is by being at peace
that you can be the open door for the Light of Peace to consume those
energies that have been produced by the many wars on this continent.
And that is the key to starting an upward cycle of a raising of the
awareness that will lead to enlightened actions that are based on peace,
based on bringing peace, rather than allowing the forces of war to continue
to manipulate nations into conflicts that were never real conflicts
and never had any meaning and never had any chance of being the war
to end all wars, as some deceitful people labeled the second world war.
For truly, no war will ever end all wars. The only thing that can end
all wars is that people refuse to fight, refuse to respond to violence
with violence and decide to turn the other cheek—and to challenge
those who encourage war, wherever they are found.
Thus again, focus on being at peace and be of good cheer. For even by
coming together you have won a victory. And much more can be achieved.
Thus, I thank you, until I shall speak again.
