When the Outer Doesn’t Provide a Sure Foundation

When the Outer Doesn’t Provide a Sure Foundation

By Steve Beckow

Posted on July 19, 2024

Part 1

In the storm of chaos….



What does one do when the outside world doesn’t provide an adequate focus, a sure enough foundation to help us know how to respond to events?

What does one do when one’s emotions are so rattled by all that’s occurring that all ties, predictions, and obligations are suspended and one feels the need to simply take care of themselves? Even when one forgets about the divine protection all around us, where does one then turn? (1)

In a situation like that, I turn to my foundational principles. These in turn generate my primary values.

A human being has the capacity to reason and put values ahead of all other considerations. Why else would Socrates drink the hemlock than to show his valuing of non-attachment and equanimity more than anything else?

Why else would the Spartan 300 face the entire Persian army at Thermopylae than their value of courage more than life?

And so here as well. If a train were bearing down on us, each of us would get in touch with our foundational principles and primary values very quickly. And these would make our action clear.
***

We can prepare for that kind of testing situation – which, or a scaled-down version of which, some of us may encounter – ahead of time by taking a look and seeing what our basic principles and values are.

I feel awkward giving my own because they’re influenced by having had both a heart opening and an out-of-body experience. Both of these make my choices easier and clearer. But they may not help you if you haven’t had them. Again, I don’t know.

Still, it must have been planned this way.
***

First of all, I share with all lightworkers a spiritual outlook on life. That means that I value the spiritual over the physical. So jot that one down.

Secondly, as I said, I had a fourth-chakra heart opening in 2015 which introduced me to that which changes everything – higher-dimensional love.

In my view, the heart is a portal to the higher dimensions. As Emerson said, and I paraphrase, who can ever forget the touch of that upon them which was the birth of all art and poetry? (2) That touch is love like we never imagined it to be. (3) Love is the most fundamental principle of all life and what I value most.

Thirdly, I’ve had an out-of-body experience, which shows me that I need merely step out of this rented costume at the moment of death and be on my way. Next assignment.

So I don’t fear death.

(Concluded in Part 2 below.)

I Will Settle for Nothing Less

I Will Settle for Nothing Less

I’m sure we’re all deeply relieved that President Trump survived the shooting.

Granted nothing is as it seems, the bottom line is he’s alive. The rest is secondary.

Did the white hats somehow “allow” the shooting (or certain aspects of it) in order to smoke out folks in the Secret Service? That agency is known to have participated in the killing of Kennedy.

Has President Trump accomplished his purpose in demonstrating to the world the depths the deep state will go to? Does this form the crowning piece of the ten days of broadcasts: From JFK to DJT: Here We Go Again?

Except this time it has a different ending.

Well, last time, it also had a different ending, which we’re only learning about today. JFK was played in Dallas by a clone, apparently.

He himself went into the witness protection program evidently, aided by shipping magnate Aristotle Onassis, who posed as Jackie’s new husband.

JFK is said to have passed away only two or so years ago.

When Lyndon Johnson winked onboard Air Force One, as he was being sworn in, we should have guessed something was up.

However, I don’t think our imaginations were capable at that time of seeing, believing, or realizing how deep the depravity went of the people we were dealing with. We just thought they were “typical politicians.”

Few of us suspected then what we now know was happening. We simply would not have entertained back then what we’re hearing now.

It helps that deep-seated wound, brought on by watching the events of that November day on TV, to know JFK survived. But, still, the whole thing is so far away from where we want things to be and need them to be that the wound itself remains.

We now have a chance to heal our wounds by building a world that doesn’t feature assassinations of its righteous leaders (JFK clone, MLK, RFK, almost DJT, on and on). (1)

***

One theory is that it was a DJT clone who was shot … was it only two days ago?

I give the white hats my full blanket permission to use clones in all future public appearances if that’s what it takes right now to keep our leaders alive.

I might have enjoyed John Kennedy’s inspiring messages for decades…. But he gave the rest of his life instead to remaining hidden for the larger role of assisting to unseat the cabal.

… which Donald Trump and the white-hat military are doing in our name right now, as we speak.

The only closure for me on that awful day in 1963 (and this awful day in 2024), which I cannot remember to this day without weeping, when I was sure “the suits were back,” would be the total closing down of everything connected to the deep state, cabal, Illuminati, elite.

Everything. Politics, three-letter agencies, financial interests, Big [Business], research, religion, the military, everywhere cleansed of Satanists, human-rights abusers, etc.

Peace throughout the world. Security night and day for all. All transactions fair.

I will settle for nothing less.

We’ve lost so many….

Drama, Drama, Drama Until We’re Complete

Drama, Drama, Drama Until We’re Complete

by Steve Beckow

Posted on January 5, 2024


What else is there do but get what we want or create drama? 

(Just kidding! Just kidding!)


And now for a change of pace….

I don’t know about you, but I’m always looking for what drives me.  And when I think I’ve found it, I then look to see if that’s common with others, as in a pattern, trend, custom, rule, etc. Or is it just an aberrant thought, sent my way by the collective consciousness and my own longings?

I mentioned a long time ago how my spiritual journey began with reading Eric Berne’s Games People Play. (1) I’d always been aware of patterns in behavior, but here was someone writing about them. That started me going.

Behind the search to know more was the basic thought, what drives human beings? What is the simplest, most general statement that I can make of that drive?

I think this is it.

(A) I/You

(B) Want/Don’t want

(C) Pleasure/Pain.

There it is, in its simplest, most basic form. Looks too darned obvious to say, huh?

Now take that and limit it to food and you have many of our conversations. I like hot and spicy. I can’t stand cloying sweetness.

Limit it to vacations? I like a hot climate, but not too hot. And I really like a country where I can reach up and pick my lunch or desert.  Like a mango or papaya.

Introduce another partner into our life-as-a-production and it gets infinitely more complicated the very first time I don’t get what I want. If not getting what I want is a pattern and persists, we may enter the cycle of conflict and fight over it the way we’ve been programmed and trained to do since childhood. (2) Like the way our parents and their parents did?

***

I’m thinking again about the cycle of conflict because I nearly went another round with a friend. But we both did what we needed to not to make conflict-inviting moves and managed to stay out of it. That is the first time I’ve seen that happen with another.

Where are the entry points to exit the cycle of conflict once it’s begun?

In answering that, I have to say that after the Reval, I’ll be a CEO. I’m aware that it won’t work for me to ask others to do growth work I’m perfectly capable of doing myself. To try to create hierarchy is distinctly not going with the flow of the times.

So the entry points I offer here are primarily what I can do, not what others can do. Sorry. Just fyi.

(A) I can be a servant and serve you (karma yoga) or I can ask for 50/50, equal give and take, to avoid resentment (principled negotiation, universal law of balance).

(B) I can reduce my wants to preferences and my preferences to “OK yes, OK no” (divine quality of detachment).

(C) I can raise my pleasure-seeking/pain-avoiding pattern to awareness and just remain aware of it; awareness will do the rest (Path of Awareness). (3)

Or I can just laugh at myself, at all of us who think that any of this is real or has consequence, save that which we and others bestow on it. Otherwise, none.

None, none, none.

Drama, drama, drama until we’re complete. And we’re complete when and only when we say so and have reached a deep place in ourselves where we really mean it.

Reaching completion could be instantaneous if we really believed that outcome possible, or, as Matthew Ward said in another connection, if “it is not [so believed] … all the changes will be a process.” (4)

After Ascension, I predict that that process, which takes time and effort now, will be as simple as deciding what to eat; all our resistance will be gone. Then changes, I think, will be instantaneous.

(3) I agree with Jesus that awareness dissolves; it transforms.

Jesus: You have to realize that consciousness is something very powerful. It is much more than a passive registering of an emotion – consciousness is an intense creative force. …

Consciousness is not something static; things do not remain as they are. You will notice that if you do not nourish the energy of the emotion or of your judgment about it, they will gradually dissipate. …

Awareness transforms – it is the major instrument for change. (“Jeshua: The Third Way” at http://goldenageofgaia.com/2014/01/jeshua-the-third-way/.)
