No One Else Needs to be Awe-struck, But I Am

No One Else Needs to be Awe-struck, But I Am

by Steve Beckow

Posted on March 4, 2024


In the growth movement, if we were sitting on a secret that was impairing our energy in our relationships, we’d call that a “withhold.” I’m about to share a withhold.

I’ve been reluctant to discuss the interruption in my well-being that happened last weekend because I don’t want to get anyone worried that I’m going to take off.

I’m not going to take off and I’ll explain more about that below.

In fact the opposite is the case. What we saw was an event that I think could have taken me away and was stopped on all fronts. I regard what occurred as a “choice point,” much like my brother Paul had, which he declined to make use of.

AND we saw the other side – most likely Michael – intervene to shake the daylights out of me and bam! my leg was healed.

I’ve been walking around for a week normally. I even had to catch up to a fellow who was half a block ahead of me and I steamed along. This is a miracle.

Please notice that every consequence of whatever it was that happened was shut down. I got to experience tremors, shaking, tingling, herniation, and fainting – and none of it persisted or happened again. Every sign and symptom was terminated, like blowing out a candle.

We saw how an archangel intervenes to save his servant from a faint and a fall: He simply froze me. We have just witnessed an archangel save his servant, in my biased opinion.

Archangel Michael: We are going to do divine intervention…. We are your insurance policy, sweet one. (1)

I believe he was my insurance policy. I believe we just saw this Biblical passage acted out:

He shall give His angels charge over you,
To keep you in all your ways.
12 In their hands they shall [a]bear you up,
Lest you [b]dash your foot against a stone. (2)

As a result of events, and not just these ones, I’m convinced that (A) miracles happen and that (B) if it’s not our time to go, we won’t go. (3)

 

***

Getting a reprieve certainly fits with what I know of my mission.

It has several phases. This phase is the writer – and I will always remain a writer.

AAM: On the list of things to do, let [writing] always be the last thing that falls off. (4)

The second phase is as a humanitarian philanthropist and what is called a “pipeline.”  That means I play a role in the introduction of new and sequestered wealth into the G/NESARA economy.

The third phase is one I played in Atlantis and that is to work with the galactics as a liaison and interpreter/commentator, in this case, at a reformed United Nations, interpreting their message to the reading public, if it needs it.

In regards to Ascension I’m a pillar, which simply means I’m here till the end. So there’s a lot more to go and it makes perfect sense that I should be here.

***

You remember when I had a triple bypass in October 2018?  Michael acknowledged that, towards the end of my stay in hospital, he purposely gave me a case of MSSA (or methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus) to keep me there an extra week. (5)

So our Board of Directors does very much intervene in our lives. These incidents I’m relating are living proof.

It’s also our Board of Directors who decide when the best time for enlightenment is. (6)  My Board consists of the Divine Mother, Archangel Michael, the Lord Arcturus, my Universal Self, my twin flame Annastara, and my guides Windthrow, Phoenix, and White Cloud. As a lightworker angelic, your Board would probably be similar. (7)

Enlightenment is not a journey that we make alone, in some isolated cave, as we thought. It’s very much a joint enterprise, with our Board of Directors opening opportunities for us, consistent with our contracts as lightworkers.

My recent health experience should demonstrate “divine intervention” when it’s needed to stay on-track with the plan.

No one else needs to be awe-struck, but I sure am.

(3) Remember Totapuri, Ramakrishna’s guru, who wanted to die? He waded into the Ganges to kill himself but no matter how far out he walked, the water did not come above his shins. And then he realized….

“Suddenly, in one dazzling moment, [Totapuri] sees on all sides the presence of the Divine Mother. She is in everything; She is everything. She is in the water; She is on land. She is the body; She is the mind. She is pain; She is comfort. She is knowledge; She is ignorance. She is life; She is death. She is everything that one sees, hears, or imagines. She turns “yea” into “nay”; and “nay” into “yay”. Without Her grace no embodied being can go beyond Her realm. Man has no free will. He is not even free to die. Yet, again, beyond the body and mind She resides in her Transcendental, Absolute aspect. She is the Brahman that Totapuri has been worshipping all his life. (Swami Nikhilananda, trans. in The Gospel of Sri Ramakrishna. New York: Ramakrishna-Vivekananda Center, 1978; c1942. GSR, 31.)

(5) Steve: Did you bring on the onset of MSSA to have me relax and just spend some time in the hospital?

Archangel Michael: Yes.

Steve: I thought you did! Oh, boy. That is so funny!

AAM: There is a part of you, even when we suggested to you that timeout was required, that doesn’t know what that means.

Steve: Yes, that’s right. That’s why you called me “wildcard” to [Blue Star], right?

AAM: Yes and your Higher Self, your Universal Self has given permission for these overrides. [I gave him permission long ago; he doesn’t need to ask.]

Steve: I thought it was funny when it happened. I could see your hand in it. (AAM, Nov. 26, 2019.)

Creating a Common Vocabulary

Creating a Common Vocabulary

Part 1

by Steve Beckow

Posted on January 28, 2024


In creating a cross-cultural, interdimensional spirituality, we may find that we don’t have a unified, integrated vocabulary with which to speak, across all cultural and religious boundaries, of the same phenomena in consciousness.

We’re going to have to build one. And a large part of that work will be connecting the dots among the prevailing terrestrial and off-planet bodies of knowledge.

I’d like to connect three dots here. What I call “emergence,” I assert, is the same as what Werner Erhard called “transformation,” “going above the line between unconscious and conscious awareness,” and “presencing the Self.”

It’s also the same as what Archangel Michael and the Mother call “ignitions,” “stair steps,” and, using my word, “snaps.”

This two-part article is too small a vehicle for me to do more than point at the correspondences and start the discussion. In a future article I’ll compare them in more detail.

Emergence

I defined emergence in 2013 as:

“Emergence is to stand forth as one’s truth, to free our expression from all dogma and equivocation, all fear and anxiety, all suppression and intimidation….

“Emergence may not look pretty. It may be a noisy birth or a quiet birth. But the more we emerge, the more we break the knots that bind us, find our native voice, free our natural expression, and stand forth in the way we were first created.

“‘Show me your original face’ could be translated as ‘emerge.’ Stop suppressing yourself. Stop hiding.” (1)

Emergence or standing forth happens in an instant. It happens because we find within ourselves what it takes (whom it takes?) to leave behind the victim, the abused child, the helpless one and stand forth as the peerless beings we are.

It happens because we take a stand on ourselves, call ourselves forth, etc.

Transformation

The sudden breakthrough in consciousness that Werner Erhard calls “transformation” is the same sudden breakthrough in consciousness I’m pointing to. We suddenly emerge from whatever it is that’s holding us back, usually as a result of a flash of insight, recognition, or realization – major or minor.

The est Network describes it here:

“What happens in the training is a transformation – an essential shift in the context in which the facts, circumstances, and positions of one’s life are held.

“While it may take forever to alter the facts or content of one’s life, it actually only takes an instant to transform the context in which those facts are held – and to realize fully that the ability to transform is actually available to us at any moment.” (2)

What occurs as a result is that we, in Werner’s words, “go above the line” separating unconscious from conscious awareness. Let’s hear the notion applied to communication, by Communications Workshop leader Jed Naylor:

“Above the line [is] conscious awareness, experienced experience.

“Below the line [is] unconscious awareness, unexperienced experience.” (3)

“Above the line one is experiencing the other person’s experience [when listening]. Below the line one is showing sympathy.” (4)

“Above the line there is the harmonious, intentional recreation of the other’s experience. Below the line is the exchange of agreed-upon symbols.” (5)

The result of the momentary transformation or emergence is that we stand forth now, for as long as the experience lasts, as more of the Self than we did (the process goes on almost forever).

Elsewhere, I made a list of several ways of presencing or calling forth the Self, mostly from Werner:

Ways to Presence the Self

The Short Form

1. Love

To Emerge, Unfold

1. Share yourself; tell the truth; say what’s so – harmlessly.
2. Share a withhold; expose yourself.
3. Wake up; be with someone; get present.
4. Take a stand; declare and commit yourself; recommit to your commitment.
5. Serve; make a difference; do something that really matters.

To Return to Wholeness, Integrity

1. Be with it; sit with it like a brick in your lap; fully experience it; complete a barrier or an experience.
2. Be responsible for something you’re disowning.
3. Clean up a perpetration; apologize; come clean; make amends
4. Stop avoiding something you’re avoiding.
5. Get it, get off it, and get on with it; recreate it and get past it.
6. Forgive a perpetration.
7. Come from love.  (6)

Transformations or emergences can be minor or major, everyday or earth-shaking. Short of Ascension, their impact will usually be temporary, although there are some lingering effects, as we’ll hear Michael say, tomorrow.

What’s the impact of this? We can now connect two bodies of literature, both claiming to speak about the process that leads to raising our consciousness, level by level:

Emergence = Transformation

One in a Million; or, Mining for Love

One in a Million; or, Mining for Love

By Steve Beckow

Posted on November 21, 2023

Part 1

An endless artesian well of love exists in the heart


Think about this for a moment.

Spiritual teachers in past ages looked upon enlightenment as a precious gift, more precious than anything we can imagine.  It happened to 1 person in … 1,000? 100,000? 1,000,000?

Ascension (Sahaja Samadhi)?  (1) It occurred only for a fraction of the numbers I just cited, as Sri Krishna tells us:

Who cares to seek
For that perfect freedom?
One man, perhaps,
In many thousands. ….

Then tell me how many
Of those who seek freedom
Shall know the total
Truth of my being?
Perhaps one only.  (2)

More modern voices? Sri Brahmananda:  “Only one in a million sincerely longs for God, and few sustain that longing.” (3)

A Christian voice? Jesus: “Many are called, but few are chosen.” (4) Many receive God’s calling card in the first experience of enlightenment (a heart opening) but few persist, given the density and lack of knowledge at the time, to arrive at the finish line and “be chosen.”

Only a few? Not this lifetime.

***

Now all that is different. We’re at the end of one age (the Piscean Age, the Kali Yuga, or Iron Age) and the beginning of another (the Aquarian Age, the Sat Yuga, the Golden Age). (5)

The density is rapidly lifting. We await the Ring of Fire, which will result in a planetary heart opening. That will answer everyone’s questions about how rebuilding the world will be possible.  Jesus described it here:

Jesus: We are approaching the Grand Finale of this stage in your awakening process [i.e., the Ring of Fire].  It is not the Magnificent and most Wondrous Event of the Great Awakening in all its glory [i.e., Ascension], but it will be the most exciting and uplifting event that humanity has ever experienced. …

Heart-centered consciousness is the state [you will then experience] in which, as humans, you feel only love for all life, knowing that you are one with all life, and in which you love and accept yourselves in your human forms without any reservations whatever, knowing, as you most definitely will, that you are following your divinely-guided path Home to Reality, and that all that occurs is part of the grand design you planned for yourselves before incarnating into form. (6)

That says it all.

Until this planet has had its Ring of Fire or heart opening, so that all the world has been introduced to this love, we may find we’re following the example of our caveman ancestors (war, oppression, selfishness) more often than our higher-dimensional star family (peace, assistance, selflessness).

***

Back to our topic. Years ago, very few people became enlightened. Very few were the slightest bit interested. But now we are.

The ages are changing. The love energies being beamed to the planet are lifting the density from us.

Where are these energies coming from? The Mother tells us:

Divine Mother: Normally, [Light] would come from me to my realms, to the dominions, to the seraphim, to the archangels, etc., to the masters, to your guardians, and then to you. But that is why each of you is shining like a star with many facets. You are being bombarded by all of us. You see, there is no shortage of what I have to share.  (7)

Now we can add in the light being beamed to us most recently, by higher-dimensional civilizations, which is credited with saving the Earth. (8)

In the face of this, people are waking up to the Company of Heaven’s message, Saul tells us:

“The Tsunami of Love is flooding the world over and over again, and more and more of you are accepting its loving embrace and choosing to engage with the world around you lovingly instead of fearfully, and that is a massive change in attitude and intent.

“Those of you who read and channel this kind of spiritual material are increasing in numbers daily, and the effect of your loving individual energy fields is shared and felt planet-wide. What you are all doing, sometimes without knowing it, is bringing into effect the essential changes that are leading to humanity’s inevitable and unstoppable mass awakening.” (9)

The Internet is spreading the word. There’s no need to travel to a distant country and sit at the feet of the masters. The masters have come to us in podcasts via the Internet.

(To be concluded in Part 2, below.)

Divine Mother: Yes, it is beyond what you think of [as being] with your seven chakras. … We have emerged from the Third-Dimensional realm, which is that reference point for the [seven] chakra system, into the new. So yes, you are correct, in this question and in this statement.  (“The Divine Mother: Come to Me as I Come to You – Part 1/2,” Oct. 17, 2012, at http://goldenageofgaia.com/2012/10/17/the-divine-mother-come-to-me-as-i-come-to-you-part-12/.)

Part 2
Concluded from Part 1, above

The Ring of Fire will introduce us to this game-changing love


When I was trying to understand it all, Michael said to me, “classical [enlightenment] theory has served you well. Now you are on a new course.” (1)

On this new course, consistent with our service contracts and far from being aloof from us, the Divine Mother – the Creator, Preserver, and Transformer of the Multiverse –  plainly and clearly tells us:

Divine Mother: You have begun by saying that I am not simply a god among gods. I am the [Divine] Mother. And I am asking and inviting you to join with me. Is there really any further conversation to be had?

Steve: No, Mother. There is not. That is the aim of all our lives. (2)

That is not a trivial invitation. Such an invitation has never been extended to humanity within range of my (still functioning long-term) memory. If it has, it was to individuals like Jesus or the Buddha. Not to an entire generation.

***

Michael says we’re not doing things the way the sages did, as venerable as they are. We’re working by and through entrainment.

Archangel Michael: You [today] are not looking for students or followers. What you are truly doing, yes, as pathfinders, you are showing the way, but you are also bringing along the collective in entrainment.

Now the sages did not think of this, of their journey as a process of entrainment of bringing the entire collective along. You do. And when I say ‘you,’ I mean the current thinking and body of understanding and knowing in the lightworker community. So the fundamental premises have changed. (3)

People are putting out ideas on the Internet and others are lining up behind the ones they like.

Archangel Michael: Think of collective will in some ways as a very powerful entrainment.  …

Think of it in this way … collective will is in fact sparked, activated, entrained, by those individuals who are willing and able and ready, and actually moving in action to show the way. Now that does not mean – think of the entrainment of a school of fish – that you are always at the head of that school of fish. Because there are many roles, including those who are in the middle of the school and do not break away but continue this wondrous pattern of cooperation and harmony, and those who are at the tail end who do not sit and sulk and think, “Oh, I am at the end of the row here.” So, it is that beauty but it is sparked by individual will. (4)

This is an alteration, made possible by technology and the rising vibrations, to the guru/student transmission of former years.

***

As with so many other things right now, it isn’t that entrainment isn’t going to happen. It’s that we’ll choose whom we’ll follow.

If we were simply to dismiss entrainment out of hand, society would still resort to it. Society moves through leadership. Leadership works through entrainment.

I’ll be saying this over and over again in the weeks and months ahead: “Always” and “never” are blunt instruments. “Never entrainment.” “Never a digital currency.” “No restrictions ever on freedom of speech.” We require finer distinctions than these or we’ll commit errors right and left, which we’ll then need to attend to.

Individuals are leading all over the Internet and individuals are lining up in support … or is it “likes”? This is entrainment. And the entrainment of the Light/Love is destined to “win,” the Mother tells us:

Divine Mother: Make no mistake, Sweet One, Love will win because that has been my Plan always. (5)

***

It seems to me that entrainment here is the same process by which, say, teenagers follow a trend. But here we’re following masterful teachings towards a global event whose significance we probably can only barely appreciate.

We have so many mentors now and that’ll be increased by an order of magnitude once our star family can land.  (6)

But the Ring of Fire will finish the job of introducing us to the one factor with the power to make the world work – higher-dimensional or transformative love. (7)

Just as Jesus said: “Heart-centered consciousness is the state [you will then experience] in which, as humans, you feel only love for all life.” Before my heart opening, I couldn’t even imagine what that state would be like.

Looking back, I’d have no way of knowing what love was or was like until it introduced itself to me. (8) And, now, look who’s coming to dinner. Love. (9)

Do Considerations of Mission Determine Most of Our Lifetime’s Events?

Do Considerations of Mission Determine Most of Our Lifetime’s Events?

By Steve Beckow

Posted on September 27, 2023


We are all angels
We are all angels


I know. I know. The Ukrainian President left America with little of what he wanted. The cabal’s Ukrainian money-laundering circle seems on its last legs.

Meanwhile, the “President” faces removal by some means – impeachment, illness, incapacity, or worse. And everyone is watching for the black swan event.

And here I am, going deeper and deeper inside and into spirituality. On one level it seems frivolous. But remembering that the bigger picture is sorely needed right now, I persevere.

I want to outline in this article (A) how all of us were already enlightened before birth by virtue of being angels and (B) how whether or not we experience enlightenment in this lifetime and the degree to which we do is determined by our soul contracts/missions.

The Implications of Being Angels

First off, I’d like to illustrate some of what it means to say that we’re all angels alive on the planet at this time. (1)

I’d like to do that by mentioning two quotes from my guidance (Michael), which I cited yesterday, (2) whose  implications I’d like to go further into, if you’d allow me.

The quotes themselves are about my personal future but the implications for all of us as angels is what I’m pointing at:

Steve: When will I eventually have my original dimensionality back? Or do I stay in a lower dimension for the foreseeable future?

Archangel Michael: You will have a choice. As I have said to you, when you complete this mission, you are allowed to have 200 years off. But what you do with that is up to you, dear one! You will certainly have full access to your inter-dimensionality. (3)

S: The next assignment is in the Seventh Dimension?

AAM: You will have a choice of planetary systems. This is just the warm-up for [that] Ascension. It is to bring a further rising of vibrations to those throughout the Universe. 
(4)

Notice, first of all, that we’re not talking about enlightenment at the fourth, sixth, or seventh chakra, all of which are within the Third Dimension. We’re talking about interdimensionality.

Notice as well that, if we are an Ascension team, as I believe we are, our next assignment is three dimensions higher. Again I think that bears out our angelic backgrounds.

“You will certainly have full access to your inter-dimensionality” implies that I do not at the moment have access to it but will upon completion of my mission.

This conversation applies to all of us because all of us are incarnated angels. Michael tells us that angels hail from the Transcendental, and partake of Source energy. (5) That means that all of us come from beyond the twelve dimensions. Alright, alright. From beyond the Transcendental.

Our Enlightenment Partnership with the Other Side

From my own research, it seems that nothing like these circumstances of partnership with the other side is even hinted at in classical-enlightenment discussions. The whole discussion is largely absent.

Not like I can’t understand why it was. No vocabulary. No prepared ground for understanding. No others who could understand what they’re saying.

Enlightenment was assumed to occur along the lines suggested by Ramana Maharshi and Bernadette Roberts; that is, we expend all our efforts and then the Divine steps in:

Ramana: Your efforts can extend only thus far. Then the Beyond will take care of itself. You are helpless there. No effort can reach it. (6)

Bernadette: At a certain point, when we have done all we can [to bring about an abiding union with the divine], the divine steps in and takes over. (7)

But it turns out to be not quite like that. Or maybe that’s too telescoped a description, suitable to our understanding at that time but not at this time.

While classical accounts obviously point in passing to higher realms – Heaven, Nirvana, etc. – the sages more or less still restrict their focus to this Third/Fourth dimension. If they were to do otherwise, the public they address might not understand them.

They do not discuss dimensions or dimensionality.

***

Another thing missing from their accounts is that I (or we) work in partnership with the Divine [Mother] and the celestials to perform my (our) mission. That mission may or may include enlightenment or it may not. (8) Or it may include enlightenment that one does not speak about.

There is little or no sense of these matters in their accounts, even accounts of karma yoga, seva, or service.

I except from this the Bhagavad Gita and related Hindu texts. I’m thinking more of contemporary texts.

Again I understand why. One has to stay within the communicational limits of one’s listeners or readers.

However, once freed from this incarnation, I (we) re-obtain my (our) angelic heritage.  My mission calls for tight regulation of enlightenment experiences, to keep me undistracted and on the job. No wandering off this time.

However, the energies have risen since the days of the sages I’ve consulted.

Moreover, this generation has had unparalleled access to the celestials and galactics. Our view of enlightenment needs to expand to take in what they’ve shared with us; in this case, the information that they participate in our experiences and our missions and that we’re by nature interdimensional.

***

We come from realms beyond the twelve dimensions, whichever dimension we choose to stop in at in the material (matter, mater, Mother) world.

AND when our soul contract calls for us to remain unenlightened in this incarnation, we do so as part of our mission. Hence Gandhi, who should have been enlightened in his lifetime if effort determined it, died without being so.

Why? Because, in my view, his mission required it. I think he needed to be a man of the people.

Part the curtain and we find that Gandhi was an incarnation of St. Francis of Assisi. (9) This implies that Gandhi was already enlightened before birth. Again, a similar situation exists for us: Enlightened before birth.

We need to introduce into current enlightenment/spiritual studies a much wider vista. We need to acknowledge that enlightenment is a partnership and bring the Mother, the celestials, and the galactics into the equation. (10)

We then need to study enlightenment at all levels, not just the Third/Fourth Dimension, which we’ll soon be leaving! And we need to factor in the divine plan, reincarnation, soul contracts, guides, etc., to get a clearer picture of what’s happening in our lives.

In light of what has been said, I assert that (A) because we’re all angels, we’re already enlightened, when out of form, beyond the twelve dimensions and (B) considerations of mission seem to determine most of the events of this lifetime, including whether or not it’s useful for us to be enlightened while in form.
