Paths To Enlightenment

 Paths To Enlightenment

There are many paths to enlightenment and no particular right or wrong way to get there. Essentially it is about going within, working on your thoughts and belief structures and tapping into your subconscious mind. There becomes a time where the conscious and sub conscious minds merge; where as before the sub conscious was hidden, yet still influencing your thoughts and day-to-day living.

To me this defines what enlightenment means, to have greater awareness. One-way of accessing your sub conscious is by meditation and daily affirmations. Affirmations are stated in the now, as if it has already happened. Use words such as “I am” and “I am now”, rather than “I will be” or “Try to be”. Essentially affirmations can be used on any area of your life that you feel needs improvement. Think of your sub conscious mind as simply something running in the background on “auto pilot”. It is only when we start going within, does the unknown begin to become the known.

Meditation is essentially focusing your mind and intent on something you desire. There are no short cuts to enlightenment and it takes many years of practice and diligence. It is about becoming a master over your body, mind and spirit and feeling empowered with this knowledge.

The ego is quite happy for us to play the victim through life, as it does not know any better. In a sense our soul has to teach our ego and this is where many people feel resistance. To become enlightened does not mean to ignore our ego, hoping it will go away. It is about acknowledging our lower emotions, balancing them and keeping them in check. The only way to do this is through intent. We have all been in situations, where we have let others influence our emotions and reactions. But over time, one realizes that we also have a choice how we respond to situations.

There are only two emotions in the universe, love and fear. As a free-will human being we have the choice whether we react out of love or fear. With practice, we become more in control of our thoughts and less likely to react to situations in our life. It is okay to feel fear, as we all do at certain times of our life. The trick however is not to feed the fear with negative thoughts and anger.

Being enlightened means to have greater awareness of yourself and the life around you. You simply don’t just wake up one day enlightened. It’s a conscious choice and a gradual process of processing and releasing lower emotional states. It is work in a sense, because you have to peel away layers of pain and hurt in order to be rewarded with a higher awareness. This pain can be very old, carried from previous lifetimes or early childhood. It remains trapped in time in a sense, until we are ready to deal with it again. With the release of old wounds, we can be rewarded with new healing abilities and psychic abilities from spirit.

Over the next few days and weeks it may feel as if everyone is speaking a different language. Yes, you can hear them, they are communicating but, you cannot understand them. 

As you move forward into this newest energy, paths may diverge wildly, and vibrational levels will change. It may be a bit sad and a little confusing but, do not let it change the work you are doing. For every divergent path, there is another running parallel that will offer new companionship, ideas and connection. 

You Earth plane is constantly in flux, offering you a chance to change your levels of awareness, empathy, compassion and expression. Embrace these moments and know that all will be well.

Greetings. We are the Arcturian Council. We are pleased to connect with all of you.

We are very sympathetic to the challenges that you face there on Earth, and we know that sometimes you are compassionate when looking at someone else in their struggle and other times you are not. And it is harder for all of you to be compassionate when you think that the person brought something on themselves. But when you realize that you are creating all of this, and so is everyone else, then you know you can cut that person some slack for having created what they created, because whether they are doing so with their choices in the lifetime, or before the life began, everything is a choice. And yet, living with one’s choices can be very hard, and that’s why it is important for you to have compassion for everyone, because everyone is carrying their own cross. 

Everyone is facing a challenge, or multiple challenges in their lives, and while it may look like some deserve those challenges and others do not, we say to you that from a higher perspective, everyone is the same. Everyone is playing a role there on Earth for you, and so if it is easy to withhold your compassion for someone because of the choices they have made, you can always ask yourself whether you sometimes do the same when it comes to having compassion for you. Are you hard on yourself because you think you could have or should have done better? Are you hard on yourself because you think you could have paid more attention, or ignored the signs?

There’s no real good reason to withhold compassion, and when you offer it, you expand. And what you are expanding into is your higher self. And therefore, know that your higher self is compassionate towards everyone, no matter what their circumstances, and you are there to become your higher selves, which means compassion is a big part of the equation. It’s a big part of everyone’s journey, and sometimes there’s more compassion for self needed, and sometimes there’s more compassion for others needed, and other times people need to have more compassion for themselves and others. 

But compassion will always be the way, just like forgiveness, acceptance and unconditional love These are the ways to the fifth dimension, to becoming your higher selves. These are the ways home to Source. So you can tell when you are moving in the right direction by how you feel. If you feel yourself expanding, you know in that moment you are becoming your higher self. If you do not feel yourself expanding, or feel yourself contracting, that’s when you are not, in that moment, taking the fast track to the fifth dimension. 

You have these opportunities presented to you in every day. You hear about something or someone, and there will be an opportunity for you to be who you really are as a compassionate being, and there will also be an opportunity for you to withhold your compassion and stay right where you are in judgment. And that is why you can look at your thoughts as well and ask yourself, ‘Am I judging myself or that other person or that group?’ And if the answer is yes, then you know you have to change your own mind in order to become more of who you really are, which is a heart centered being of unconditional love and infinite compassion.

We are the Arcturian Council, and we have enjoyed connecting with you
