How Does Chaos Fit with the Purpose of Life?

How Does Chaos Fit with the Purpose of Life?

By Steve Beckow

Posted on January 28, 2025

How does what’s happening around the world serve the overarching purpose of life?

Well, first of all, what IS that overarching purpose?

At the end of a vision I had in 1987, the words formed in my mind: “The purpose of life is enlightenment.” With that, the vision closed down.

Say what?

Let me explain.

My drive to work on that Friday morning was broken when I asked the universe, if life was a puzzle, what is the picture that life is?

Everything disappeared and I was watching an amazing tableau unfold. I was drenched in bliss (which suggests that it was a higher-dimensional experience) (1) and intuitively knew who the characters were. But you can read about that elsewhere. (2)

What’s important was that I was shown and told that enlightenment is the purpose of all our lives.

Why is this the purpose of life? Because, when one of us realizes who she or he is (answer: God), at that moment, God meets God. And for that meeting was all of this created.

Alright. And now that the mud has hit the fan and all is chaos – hurricanes, “wildfires,” and all of it manmade. How does all this fit in?

***

Our spiritual lives, through lifetime after lifetime if we were on a human-evolutionary scale, (3) are a process of spiritual evolution – evolution all the way back to God. (4) Universal laws serve to construct a reality that allows us to learn, slowly over time, who we are.

One of these laws is the Law of Freewill. Archangel Michael explained the operation of that Law this way:

Archangel Michael: Yes, there have been many ups, downs, sideways, forays into adventures, detours but such is the nature of the Mother’s Infinite Design.

For she has allowed and created, dreamed and promised that flexibility, the free-will choices, the decision points, even when those decisions have skirted mayhem, she has trusted that the humans – the collective and far beyond – will find their way to love and not only find it, but choose it.

The bedrock of the Mother’s mode of reality and the bedrock of all relationships is this trust to allow the child to discover the strength of the legs and the wobble and to sometimes stumble and fall and to learn to run, to jump, to fly and to come to know when to rest and when to proceed.

It is the Infinite Trust of One. It is one of the greatest examples of love that the Mother/Father One offers us. (5)

We are, at this moment, finding our way back to love and re-choosing it, against the challenges presented to us by the deep state, who have chosen anything but love.

Keep in mind that we’re at the end of the Iron or Dark Age, the Kali Yuga, and what looks like total chaos to us is our saying goodbye to those who choose not to come with us into the Golden Age or Sat Yuga – and them reacting to their loss of control.

They’ll have their chance in a future life.  (6) But they’ve said “no” to this chance and we now need to travel on.

So what we’re seeing, plain and simple, is the disengaging of those who’ve chosen, at soul level, to ascend from those who’ve chosen not to. (7)

***

Now I have to throw in a proviso. It’s not so easy for us as a society to “just ascend.” There are hundreds of thousands, if not millions of children kept in sexual slavery underground and facing torture to produce adrenochrome. I believe that anyone kept in servitude must be rescued first.  I’m told that med-bed treatment will erase their memories and restore them.

So we’re taking care of the last dock-side duties before the ship of Ascension leaves, so to speak. Getting everyone on board. Fighting off the deep state’s attempts to sink the ship (LaHaina, Wyoming, Southeast US, LA) before we get underway.

And that’s how, in my opinion, the chaos you see at present fits with the larger picture of Ascension.

The Light 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. (8)

The overall movement of life towards Re-Union with the One is, we find out, irresistible. (9)

Their Present Leg of the One Same Journey

Their Present Leg of the One Same Journey

By Steve Beckow

Posted on August 21, 2024

If the purpose of life for all of us is enlightenment – the knowledge of who we truly are, resulting in mergence….

If the purpose of creating life for God was that God should meet God in a moment of our enlightenment… (1)

then, if we were to envision our situation, would it not make sense to represent it as a toroidal field, with God at the center?

All of us are birthed from God, as I saw in my vision, (2) and go out into the world of matter (mater, Mother) to learn our true identity.

An ineluctable, sub-tidal thirst, known as a “longing for liberation,” (3) keeps us yearning to return to the One – and on the move. And we find that, as we learn, the hunger to re-unite with God ever grows.

After many lifetimes, if we were 3D humans, we see the utter futility of pursuing sensory pleasures and possessions if what we want is love and bliss. We resolve to seek the bliss of God, to return to God. And we’re aided in this by our guides and celestials at every step we make in that return.

Everything about life is designed to keep us moving onward toward the final re-union. (4) The universal laws, our partnership with our guides and the celestials, our soul contract – everything works to bring us the opportunities we need to unfold our knowledge of ourself, which we discover is God.

***

On this one same journey from God to God, some have left the station before us and are farther ahead; some have left it after us and are farther behind. But all are destined to follow the same basic arc, from God to God.

Sri Ramakrishna used a metaphor to convey the point:

“All will surely realize God. All will be liberated. It may be that some get their meal in the morning, some at noon, and some in the evening; but none will go without food. All, without any exception, will certainly know the real Self.” (5)

Where you were yesterday, I’ll be tomorrow. But today, I’m not there yet.

Where is the place for racial superiority in all this? Where is the place for religious hostility? Where is the place for anything but helping this person before us on their present leg of the one same journey?

***

We often project our ideas of how things should be onto things as they actually are. In this case, we project onto the other person the notion that they should be, say, farther along than they are.

Not so. They’re right where they should be, watched over by their guides, influenced in their choices, etc. They are learning the lessons they chose to learn this lifetime. “Do not disturb.”

The only one we have cosmic responsibility for is ourselves. Our karma is ours alone. I can’t eTransfer it to you or accept eTransfers from you. Only Jacob Marley drags Jacob Marley’s chain around. (6)

Kathleen’s guide Catri’anna once said that the only mistake we humans make is in judging. That’s the action that alters us from being connected to the other person to being disconnected. Given that we make ourselves right for our own appraisals and actions, after judging another, all else is downhill.

My request is that we not judge people who we think are somehow “ignorant” or “asleep,” etc. We were there yesterday – or at least I was … errr…. or was it this morning?

There’s a saying from Oscar Wilde I like: Every saint has a past and every sinner has a future.

Every sinner is a saint in the making and every saint was a sinner at one time. We’re all of us evolving, from God to God, as in the toroidal field. My request is that we show good fellowship along the way.

(1) As the Mother confirms here:

Divine Mother: You are one that, because of your adherence to Truth, likes to go to the Source. That is alright. That is the way it has been designed. [My emphasis]

Steve:  … What is the way it has been designed, Mother? …

I mean, the Source, the One wants to know itself. Is that correct?… And it can’t because it’s everything. So it’s taken the aspect of Yourself and designed a universe in order for us to learn our true identities. The moment of Enlightenment is when God meets God. Is that correct?

Divine Mother: That is correct. … Yes, it is designed this way. (“Divine Mother: Know God but Through Joy,” November 4, 2018 (Oct. 26, 2018.) at https://goldenageofgaia.com/2018/11/04/divine-mother-know-god-but-through-joy/.)

(4) It turns out not to be final, as the Mother makes plain here:

Divine Mother: Now, in this [one same] journey — for some of you it is millennia, for some of you it is eons; it matters not — there is a drive and an understanding, an intellectual and spiritual understanding that your drive is to make the U-turn and to come back Home, to return Home to the Heart of One where you are so welcome until such time as you choose to emanate again. (“Divine Mother: My Desire is that Every Being on the Planet Falls in Love,” October 3, 2014, at http://goldenageofgaia.com/2014/10/03/divine-mother-my-desire-is-that-every-being-on-the-planet-falls-in-love/.) [My emphasis.]

Steve Beckow: Now, Mother, you have just referred to you bringing them back. You’ve just referred to mergence have you not, or union?  And you’re saying that after they return in union, they go back out into the world. Is that correct?

Divine Mother: Yes. If they so choose, yes. Now, is it in the timeline that human beings tend to think of? No. But eventually there is re-emergence. (“The Divine Mother: Each and Every One of You Carries Divine Might, Part 1/2,” June 17, 2013, at http://goldenageofgaia.com/2013/06/the-divine-mother-each-and-every-one-of-you-carries-divine-might-part-12.)

(6) In Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol, the ghost of Jacob Marley appears, dragging a chain laden with bells and weights, which represents his sins. He came to warn his business partner, Ebenezer Scrooge, to repent his ways because Scrooge’s chain was also at that point very long.

Everyone’s a Star and Our Practice is Our Everyday Life

Everyone’s a Star and Our Practice is Our Everyday Life

By Steve Beckow

Posted on December 26, 2023 by

I’m having a flow of inspired thought that’s going faster than I can capture. For those looking for entertainment on Boxing Day, please accept this as my offering.

I grab this inspired thought from the flow as it passes by me: Everyone’s a star and our practice is our everyday life.

Wow. I like that one. It resonates.

Let me expand it here, while also staying aware of the background flow.

Think of the matter this way. All of us, as I saw in my vision in 1987, are on the same One Journey: From God to God.  (1) Everyone.  And that journey has the same One Destination.

The folks on the train behind us: they’ll be at the destination a day later than us. The folks on the train ahead of us? They’ll be at it a day earlier.

It doesn’t matter where we are on the One Journey. There’s no stigma attached to being on tomorrow’s train. We’ll all get there. I’ve quoted Sri Ramakrishna before on the matter:

“All will surely realize God. All will be liberated. It may be that some get their meal in the morning, some at noon, and some in the evening; but none will go without food. All, without any exception, will certainly know the real Self.” (2)

Knowing the real Self is the destination, is it not?

Here’s another depiction. Think of a toroidal field, because, in a sense, this is exactly what our situation is. Siri, give me a toroidal field please:

Credit: lifeharmonized.com

Thank you.

Mother/Father God lies at the center. What the figure partially depicts is that everything emanating from the center returns to the center again. Voilá! Precisely what I’m saying, is it not?

Jesus described that One Journey here:

“I came forth from the Father, and am come into the world: again, I leave the world, and go to the Father.” (3)

Yes, exactly what an object in a toroidal field does, does it not?

Where the One Journey from God to God varies is in what Archangel Uriel called “scenic detours.” (4)  I may decide I want to spend a lifetime on a beach in Fiji, sipping … Starbucks Frappacinos.  Given that my other lifetimes have been quite active, that might be seen as a scenic detour.

But the longing for liberation kicks in at some point and I’m back on the One Journey again. (5)

An Indian sage once said we have as much free will as a tethered cow. Yes, the longing for liberation guarantees that we not stray too far but return to the One Journey again.

Even Jesus consented to become one strand of a toroidal field. Follow me, he said. No more scenic detours. Back to Mother/Father God. Back to the One.

***

Completing that One Journey is the purpose of life. Why? So that Mother/Father God can have the pleasure of meeting, yes, us, but equally importantly, themselves. When one of us realizes God, at that instant, God meets God.

Sri Ramakrishna, like Jesus, a descent of God into a body, poked fun at that ultimate moment:

“When Siva realizes his own Self, He dances about in joy exclaiming, ‘What am I! What am I!'” (6)

For this moment of joy was all of creation made.

In my vision I saw a small golden star jet out from a large golden sun.  It was that star that completed the toroidal journey from God to God. Every one of us is a star.

Mastering the divine qualities is our overall spiritual practice and the longing for liberation keeps us at that practice. No matter what the scene that presents itself, everyday or state occasion, every one of them is an occasion to practice the divine qualities.

Everyone’s a star and our practice is our everyday life.

What Lies Underneath Global Conflict?

What Lies Underneath Global Conflict?

Part 1/2

By Steve Beckow

Posted on August 29, 2023

Only the car has been hit: earlier California DEW attacks

Whether we care to acknowledge it to ourselves or not, we’re operationally at war. Rumor has it that the white hats regard the DEW attacks on Lahaina as an act of war and responded to it with lethal force.

Certainly the deep state has resolved to make war on humanity, aiming to depopulate the globe to a docile 500 million who’d then serve them. (1)

Stop the camera.

Doesn’t all this sound familiar? Are we watching a James Bond movie? Did we just wake up in the Roman Empire? Or are we fighting the Second World War again?

Well, certainly the latter. The Second World War saw some nations consider themselves destined to rule the world and attempt to defeat all others. They failed. No empire that I’m aware of has succeeded over time.

But what’s the answer to this ongoing and miserable story of human warfare?

***

I have to dip into my spiritual toolbox to reply. And this is just my personal answer.

Classical enlightenment theorists talk about a “longing for liberation,” a subject which I’ve covered elsewhere. (2)

It’s a built-in, subtidal thirst that can be satisfied only by the experience and realization of … God or Mother/Father God or the One – whatever name you prefer to use – Buddha Nature, Parabrahman, the Tao.

Notice that the longing is a desire. So right at the heart of the design workings of the human being we find desire.

Ego arises to satisfy our desires. So now we have “I” (ego) plus “want” (desire): “I want” is born, ready to issue orders to the ego.

Now here is where the problems come in that lead to conflict.

First of all, the ego is a false “I.”  It’s not our permanent “I,” which is God.

It’s there as long as we have material, bodily, sensory, physical wants. It’s simply our aide-de-camp, there for a while to see that the jobs we assign it get done.

It’s also there to protect us, to ensure our survival and the survival of anything we identify with (me and mine). But it can’t help us with spiritual unfoldment.

It doesn’t outlast our desires. Once we become desireless, the ego falls silent, as you’ve seen in my case some years back.

In 2020, I experienced the mind chatter suddenly stop. (3) One minute it was on; the next minute it was off and has never come back.

When the ego has no more desires to serve, I predict that it’ll fall silent.

And it has no more desires to serve as a result of a basic spiritual movement.

Keep in mind, when considering that movement, the action of the longing for liberation, which is satisfied only by [your name for God].

***

I’ve long held that the basic spiritual movement is what I phrase as turning from the world to God. (4)

When we turn from our sensory, physical, material desires and instead desire Mother/Father God’s love, bliss, and other divine qualities, then spiritual faculties we have in us begin to awaken. Here the ego can play no (commanding) role.

You read yesterday of me connecting more and deeper with my Higher Self. (5) That’s an example of a spiritual faculty beginning to awaken. In these realms of Light, so to speak, the ego has no part to play. The spirit emerges as the driver of the car.

Therefore, we can say that what we desire matters. Desire worldly gains, possessions, and experiences and we awaken the ego. The guardian soon becomes the guard.

Desire only the divine qualities and the Source of them and we leave the world of the ego behind. The Self emerges more and more in us, helped along by our Board of Directors on the other side. (6)

In Part 2, we start the camera again and return to our present state of war.

End of part 1

What Lies Underneath Global Conflict?

Part 2/2

Georgia Guidestones, destroyed by a ray of unknown origin.

(Concluded from Part 1, above.)

Start the cameras again.

Apparently, the deep state desires the enslavement of the remainder of humanity who survive their vaccines, FEMA camps, DEW attacks, “climate change,” 15-minute cities, “energy shortage” (with free energy available?), etc.

The Divine Mother (my preferred name for God) has determined that an Ascension will take place unlike any that has ever occurred before. Historic is too small a word for it. (1)

Given her divine intention, those who continue to want to kill and enslave their fellows are on a fast track to their own removal. From a heart attack, a fall, revenge – whatever exit means are available. (2)

The white hats are draining their bank accounts.  Our star family will permit neither nuclear war nor world war so we’re watching a great deal of military theatrics. (3) One nation shoots dud missiles into the air, the mainstream media plays up the story, and other nations react with fear. Nuclear forces rally as if the threat is real.

But Lahaina was real, as was Spokane, and all the other DEW attacks in North America, Greece, and elsewhere. In my opinion, we’re definitely in what some would call a “kinetic” war.

***

But we needn’t be at war within ourselves. Not if we choose not to be. I like to think that those who are focused on loving all around them will pass through this untouched but that’s a pure guess on my part. (4)

In all of this it’s the Divine Mother’s timeline I’d like to know. That’s the only thing that matters. And she’s not  telling.

One last distinction.

If we desire God, we’re at last swimming with the current of life in the direction it’s going – towards God. We’re accomplishing life’s purpose. (5)

If we love, we’re at last being God. Yes, yes, yes, just a little at the moment. But capable of infinitely growing.
