HOPE

Hope has many faces and threads that reach out to touch all areas of a life. Hope within a human can be as fleeting as wishing to see a beautiful sight again, experiencing an immeasurably joyful moment just a little longer, hoping for rain or no more snow, or it may carry more profound implications such as hope for a healthy body where dis-ease reigns, finding a better job or having a more amendable relationship. For a human in this world of duality hope may carry not only anticipation of something more or something different, but also expectations that what is will change into something perceived as greater or better. It extends into the uncreated future often leaving the present moment empty.

In this world of extremes hope promises change. Life experiences have taught us that to have change there must be a plan and steps laid out that measure progress toward a defined outcome. What within us defines these parameters? What if hope in truth brings peace within, regardless of what is transpiring, peace that allows you to embrace each moment fully? Individually and collectively hopes abound often with clear ego personality concepts. Our exercising of hope is, in its own way, an attempt to heal ourselves. Hope provides inspiration that uplifts, inspires and assists us to hold the course of our life journeys. In human concepts hope is dimmed if the better, higher, fuller outcome does not meet our expectations. Each moment we create in our lives holds intent for an outcome, and the motivator often is hope aligned with what we believe is best. However, hope may also hold human self-determination without the benefit of innate divine knowing. In this chaotic world hope often means a desire for peace, beauty, calmness in our own lives, to know that what we desire can be. It is like a bird on the wing flying before us carrying a banner proclaiming what we hope for, giving creative substance to the idea, the desire, the longing.

HOPE AND KNOWING

Consciously creating our lives requires clarity, clarity to make decisions and act upon them. In this way we chart the course and lay the energy for creation. The difference between passing hopes and/or heart-felt hopes of the human and the hope of the divine self is knowing. In essence, if felt deeply hope has its routes in the soul’s knowing and we must know to create consciously. The knowing of soul holds great wisdom and knowledge and always considers what is truly right for you and all that is.

When that hope for creation of a specific thing in life does not materialize, in truth it may be because what we hoped for was not in alignment for our lives, or perhaps that creation will come later in the life. Perhaps unpredictable circumstances enter and change the course of events, or perhaps something greater, beyond imagining, takes its place. The attachments we may place on what we hope for can counter the creation, and there can be sadness and negative reactions when expectations are not met.

I have experienced and heard from many individuals who tell me that there has been a moment sometime in their life where all was turned inside out and it felt like hope was the lifeline to cling to, then divine inspiration lifted that hope into a viable and pulsating reality created anew within the life. It may have lifted the innate strength within to the surface, or brought forth the courage to step through a challenge considered immovable. In this experience we learn or remember that we are greater than the limitations we have held, and have within us the power to transcend our long held concepts of what is possible. This is hope rooted in soul knowing.

YOUR LIFE COURSE

Our souls know the planned course of our life intimately as well as our life purpose(s). The dual nature of this world and the limited choices held in that duality for human life feel tight and constraining, at moments like you can hardly breathe. The soul carries the strength, the courage and the wisdom to move through anything unscathed. We are souls experiencing, not these fragile human forms. The human ego personality fearfulness is met by the soul’s complete and total fearlessness and it only takes an instant to choose to be you, the fearless soul, and trust what the soul knows and how the soul enacts. We are not newcomers to the brief experiences of life in form. The process of remembering who and what we are, and discovering all that this means comes in small fragments, in one at a time ah-ha moments of clarity. Gradually the gentle immersion with the soul expands and carries the freedom that is ours innately.

Hope based in knowing has great value in human life - it embraces the highest and greatest possibilities free of attachment, allowing all to unfold in our lives in right order. Hope sings in the midst of chaos, aligns with the joy inside us to savour each moment of experience for the blessing that it truly is, and helps us to fly unfettered into the consciously unknown, free of concern or doubt.

Hope and Joy, fully embraced, are freely creative taking us beyond what we have consciously known into the new where our eternal truth can be experienced right here, right now. The power of true unconditional Love that we know resides within each of us expands, touching all, lifting all, changing the life in wondrous ways, and the personal worlds of our experiencing. As we observe what transpires around us we no longer are angry or frustrated but feel the innate compassionate understanding we hold each moment that brings clarity and soul perspective to what we observe and experience.

Hope rooted in knowing, and faith fuel our enfolding opportunities that are presented all through our lives. They support the innate knowing of when to lie something aside from the past, with gratitude and appreciation, and take an entirely different course, even when it is not fully defined. Hope cradles at its core the vibrant knowing of what is good for all, rather than what is good only for one’s self. For we, unique though we each are, are part of a greater community of souls throughout the cosmos collectively weaving the unfolding stories of all that exists and becomes. There is no thing that does not affect all else like ripples in a pond’s smooth surface.

ACTUALIZING HOPE

I have met countless individuals, all of whom speak of a particular desire – a hope for peace, to see peace in the world. That peace begins within each of us personally. The soul is always at peace. The innate way of being in the cosmos is peaceful without harm. We hope for peace in the moment, peace from that still well that flows from us outward, and greatest of all, peace known and felt and experienced every day of our lives from this moment forward that stands firm in face of all. This peace we hope for is already ours – and our search for it comes through hope whose core is soul knowing. Knowing that this is our innate way of being. Hope through knowing, Joy, Love and Compassion -- all are within you, all are available every instant to enrich your life and create the world of peace, love, and joy you desire and aspire to. There is no reaching outward for, this does not come from somewhere else. This is your divine birthright and held ever-present within your soul. Be still and know the truth that has been yours eternally. Find the knowing deep within your hopes.

The feminine-masculine unity of the Godhead is real, existing within this cosmos in energetic form in all perfection. All that exists within the cosmos has, is and will forever issue from this perfection. When your soul has been created in divine perfection and lives eternally in a state of love, compassion and joy, what within you in your living experience on this diminutive planet doubts that you are perfection? This is a world of intense duality with harm -- you have chosen to experience the extremes of duality and gain wisdom from this time. Much is learned and nothing is lost for the soul has recorded every moment of your life. Now is the time to appreciate all that you have experienced and learned and to gently lay it all aside to embody the perfection of who you are in form and to live that as your truth. In quietude find this within you. Find the truth of hope as knowing through soul. Allow your knowing to guide you.

Unconditional Love has no boundaries for all is love. The understanding you have gained morphs into compassion of such magnitude that you accept all free of judgment, doubt or fear. The Joy ever-present within you flows in all its power to reveal the glory of the gift of life in form with all senses and creative genius just waiting for expression. Each individual brings unique gifts to the whole, greater than the personality can conceive, and the co-creation of the new world now under way calls you forth to be an active participate as you intended from the beginning. Your lifetime hopes for new ways on this planet are coming to fruition. This hope held your knowing of this time, and your own soul’s wisdom of all the truths that have been whispered to you throughout your life with the voice of hope.

JOY ~ ISHA

JOY It feels appropriate that I would write this Christmas season about Joy, one of the founding Tenets of divine truth. All in the cosmos is created from the Godhead with the building blocks of love, compassion and joy. We have spoken in this Blog about love and compassion. Joy is the third element of all there is – including you (see the label for Tenets for the other articles). In human life we experience the human emotions of love, compassion and joy or happiness. Due to the waging wars of duality within us we have only the emotion, the feeling of these in moments. In truth it is core to your state of being, and each of the three can be called forward individually as appropriate so you can experience your self by remembering what each energy feels like, tells you about you, how divine laws work, how collaboration occurs, why wisdom is key to soul expansion. Calling forth the energy of joy in meditation and floating in it beyond your body and this physical world will tell you more about what true divine joy is than I can ever describe in words. I suggest you do this repeatedly until you fully remember your energy of divine joy and own it as an aspect of self. JOY IS CREATION ENERGY Love is the building block of the cosmos, compassion is wisdom and knowing what action to take, joy is the power of creation. Since you as an Evolutionary Being were given by the Godhead the right, responsibility and power to create, this creation energy is one of the core energies of your soul, your beingness and how you operate in all things through your Free Will. There are moments when we create in our human lives and feel joyful. Buying a new car and driving it home, parenting an infant newly born, embracing an elderly mother or sitting on a hill at sunset with the hush of the day settling around you. We orchestrated each of these, we were the creator of each of these moments, but in human terms this is missed. Creation is left to the gods as mortals figure it out, do what is necessary and cherish these special moments only when the joy rises up in us without our calling it forward. Actually, the creation of each of these moments began long before the moment itself so as humans we experience only the after-rush of igniting the joy within to begin and sustain the creation process. Much has been said and written over the millennia about manifestation. We have all had moments when we wanted to have magical powers and manifest whatever we desire in the moment. The fairy tales and myths of old are filled with those who could do this. From Houdini to St. Germaine, the gods, goddesses and sages in many countries, and even the magic in movies like Cinderella. All carry our thirst for the extraordinary, the magical or supernatural. Certainly TV and movies today, not to mention electronic games, are filled with images and actions of those with “powers” beyond human. One wonders if Jesus appeared today and failed to turn water into wine or save Lazareth from the tomb if he would be seen as a great saint, god or god-like in our view. The truth is that you have the power of creation embedded in you. You use it every day to create your life. It is a god-given power, a divine power far greater than any of the stories we have heard. Forgetting who we are while living in the human form forced you to forget you are a creator being. Perhaps most tragically, you also forgot that you hold great responsibility in wielding this power as all that is must be considered, for all is connected, before you decide and then intend/command creation. In this way we have turned the wheels of duality over and over, never learning from mistakes or having the ability to change our world – or so we thought. THE POWER OF WE Nothing is done alone; this is also true of creation. There are layers of encoded energy that are married together just so, in accordance with divine laws, to create anything and everything in our material world and beyond. Whether you can see it in material form or not the energy is flowing, combining, coalescing into its intended form – physical or energetic – in each domain. As we open to what is we see there are more stars in the sky than we saw before. The ships of the Brotherhood are seen often – close by. The colors, rhythms and songs of each creation are felt, seen and heard. We know what is occurring around the globe – across the solar system – in our neighbor’s house. We are not magic – we are beyond that human concept. We are divinely enabled to use this power of creation to assist, support, create anew not only our lives but other creations that assist and play a part in our worlds. When you look beyond the false constraints of physicality you see the geometrics of energy that holds the tree, and in this is the first step of understanding how we create. When you know, decide and act in relation to creation you consider all that is, you decide what is in alignment with all that is and you act or place an intention to create something that meets these considerations. As a human you can never know all of the considerations about all that is because the human brain cannot hold it – but the soul mind does. Your good intention of harm to none holds all you do in alignment with this. So when the intention is laid, thought, said there are many, many actions by other beings and through energetic combustion that occur to respond to this command and deliver your creation. When you float in the bliss of your Joy you will recognize, and be humbled by your enormous power that you use for creation. But again you are not alone, so this creation you intend is the result of millions of steps energetically by many individuals including the Godhead who created the energy you are using. By looking around planet Earth you would probably think that we can create whatever we want – there is certainly a lot that has been created beyond nature and the Earth herself. But this is only a fragment of all the possibilities. This is only the third domain where we begin to learn. Other worlds you may have been in have complexities unknown here. Consider this if you ever wonder if you can create a new kind of life, or if you can indeed help in the creation of a new world here. Using the creation energy takes diligence, focus and requires you to take full responsibility for what and when you create. This is not a burden as all you create is done through joy, and the magnitude of this joy is beyond anything you have experienced as a human emotion. To take responsibility means to create only that which is collaborative with all that is – harm to none, founded in joy and fully expressed from the creative of creation in you. Focus and you will know what is to come for you. Focus and you will know how to call it forth. CALLING FORTH YOUR MEMORY Begin to own that you are a creator being, watch what you decide and focus on for that is what will be in your life. Millionaires focus their lives on making money. Great artists focus on their art. Often other aspects of life suffer if their focus is held almost wholly on their goal. This is the power of creation and focus. Through the soul however, it is blended and considered with wisdom and due diligence in regard to what is right for all life. After you have watched your decisions and focus objects consider what you want to change. Remember this is not magic – or steps in a class on manifestation. This is calling forth the divine power of creation from within you to know it, own it and work with it within divine laws, to co-create your world and then the world beyond you. Decide after deep consideration one aspect of your life that is not in alignment with soul, that serves nothing but the ego, and with the wisdom of yourself Know what is in right order to replace it. Chose this and place the clear intention that this be so. Follow each step, each moment with the knowing that whatever the soul intends with clear focus will be. If, at any point you doubt, negate, wonder or fall back into old patterns your creation will be erased and never be. So it is with the soul’s wisdom and knowing alone that you can have this clarity of focus for conscious creation. This does not require Self Realization. It does require you to reach a state where you can be one with your soul and know, decide and then act or place your intention. In form, using the human brain you cannot know all the intricacies of how this creation will come about. Let it go and allow it to happen in universal timing – right timing. Stepping into Mastery of self requires you to know who you are and what you are made of. The love, compassion and joy of you are beyond human understanding, but you can know it through experiencing it, then you can be it and use all of the gifts contained within to live and fulfill your purpose(s) here during this time. None of this is experimental. It is truth and you can know this truth for it is within you. I hold you all in my love during this holiday season, everyone on all sectors of the globe, on every continent, who read these words in many languages. We are brothers and sisters who have come to be of one community in great celebration and joyful activity. I acknowledge your divinity. I honor your courage in stepping out of the mainstream to come home to yourself – knowing without words that in doing that you are coming home to true reality. I wish you all a very Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukah and glorious New Year. No thing will stop us from rolling back the pain and harm and living as is our right in peace, love and joy.
