Love Comes Not From Us, But Through Us

Love Comes Not From Us, But Through Us

by Steve Beckow

Posted on March 5, 2024

Ummm, well, sort of. Uhhh, partly….

After my heart opening in 2015, (1) I went through a time of saying that you can’t get love from another person. It was clear to me: Love came up from our hearts and then out from us.

Never mind the contradiction of me sending it out to someone…. Small matter…. You can’t get love from another.

Then Matthew came along and said, yes, you can. Here’s an example from Matthew:

“Please ask Matthew how we can send love-light.” With joy we tell you this is as easy as your desire to do so! If you wish to “formalize” this in a prayer or meditation or visualization, that is fine, of course, but your feelings and intention are enough. And, no “address” is needed. Simply your thought of the person, group or Earth herself directs your love-light energy where you want it to go. (2)

Now I have a dilemma.

“I” do not give you love that is somehow my own. I don’t have it to give of myself. It comes from the universal Source, that all of us have, through the pipeline of the heart. I only experience that love as it passes through me when I draw it up on my inbreath.

But, then, why send love out on the outbreath if someone is not receiving it? Oh, I’m so confused!

However, in researching another topic, I came across a passage from Marilyn Raffaele’s Arcturians which gave me clarity. I wish I’d written this passage:

“It is humanly natural to expect love or gratitude to come from certain people and when it doesn’t it is easy to blame them or even yourself. However those from whom you may expect it do not in and of themselves have it to give for love and gratitude are Divine qualities that flow through individuals, but never from them.

“The love or gratitude you seek may never come from those you may expect or want it from, but if you acknowledge and seek it from within [your own heart]– (I can never be separate from the Love I am, I am forever complete and whole because I AM) it will flow to you in ways and from places you least expect.” (3)

That answered the original point I was making: That you can’t get love from another person. It’s futile to attempt to do so. We get it from our own heart.  However you can get love through another person. I should have seen that! But I didn’t.

It says that I’m simply a vessel not a creator of that love.

Once the love leaves me, when I send it out, the mode of delivery remains unknown to me.

However, I now accept that others can receive the love I send out. That was where I was holding out. All is clear in hindsight.

Thank you to the Arcturians, for clarifying the situation. You’ve furnished us with so many really useful distinctions over the years (as has Matthew)!!!

As usual, when I find one example of something, I find others:

Arcturian Group: In and of themselves, human beings have no love, forgiveness, patience, generosity, etc. to give. These are God qualities only able to express through consciousnesses that are open to and in alignment with them.

Never look to a person for love, forgiveness, patience etc. regardless of how a situation “should be” because a human being does not have it to give unless they are open to it flowing through them. Look only to God for God qualities and you will find them flowing to you from where you least expect.

Accept and trust that everything you seek is already fully present in and as you. (The Arcturian Group via Marilyn Raffaele, Nov. 19, 2023 at https://goldenageofgaia.com/2023/11/19/the-arcturian-group-via-marilyn-raffaele-nov-19-2023/.)

(4) A beggar had been sitting by the side of a road for over thirty years. 

One day a stranger walked by. “Spare some change?” mumbled the beggar, mechanically holding out his old baseball cap.

“I have nothing to give you,” said the stranger. Then he asked: “What’s that you are sitting on?”

“Nothing,” replied the beggar. “Just an old box. I have been sitting on it for as long as I can remember.”

“Ever looked inside?” asked the stranger.

“No,” said the beggar. “What’s the point? There’s nothing in there.”

“Have a look inside,” insisted the stranger.

The beggar managed to pry open the lid. With astonishment, disbelief, and elation, he saw that the box was filled with gold. (Eckhart Tolle, The Power of Now. Downloaded from http://www.inner-growth.info/power_of_now_tolle/eckhart_tolle_chapter1.htm.)

This is What Everyone Wants

This is What Everyone Wants

by Steve Beckow

Posted on March 3, 2024

What we really want! Credit: depositphotos

A wag said recently, “I identify with three pronouns: ‘Told you so.'”

But there isn’t a person alive today who, in regards to a raft of topics, is not a newbie. Everyone was at one time in their lives.

I grew up in the immediate post-war generation – the Baby Boomers. Our parents were can-do warriors who’d just saved the world for democracy. Or so we thought.

We had crazies. Cross burnings, bikers, milennarian cults…. What? Oh, some bunch of loonies predicting … a rapture. That was about it in the immediate postwar years.

All those people who predicted a rapture, many years ago? They were right. All those who were considered fringe elements for believing in being carried off in the clouds? Who became marginalized in their quaint churches?

We may want to remember that we ostracized them. Just as today’s mainstream media is ostracizing “conspiracy theorists” … who were right. Just as they ridiculed the “Me Generation” of the human-growth movement … which was valuable. And later, gurus.

***

Gosh, I guess this is where experience comes in valuable. I can tell you, from my experience, that the love we’re headed towards will have you forget all that has happened to you in … and here’s where experience limits me.

I can only say how it was for me. When I entered the portal of the heart, after the kundalini reached the fourth chakra, a blast of love greeted me that swept away all my concerns and worries, hopes and fears. (1) Immediately.

The shock is like leaving the air-conditioned airport lounge in Phoenix and being hit with a tsunami of hot air. You notice it.

At no point after that, for as long as I remained in this atmosphere of flowing love, did I have another thought about whatever it was I was formerly concerned about.

And if I did, my viewing of it – and this is much clearer with bliss – would have shifted from seeing it as a problem to seeing it as a situation. There would be no “problem” in it.

It’s clearer with bliss because bliss has us rest in place, so to speak, which accentuates our lack of concern. Love, on the contrary, turns us outwards.

We want to share it (love must flow) (2) and that brings us into contact with the outside world, out of which contact conflict can arise, conflict which wouldn’t arise in blissful solitude.

Da Free John would have said there would be no contradiction in this love, no dilemma. He describes his experience of this love, which was much deeper than mine:

“Quite suddenly, in a moment, I experienced a total revolution of energy and awareness in myself. An absolute sense of understanding opened and arose at the extreme end of all this consciousness. And all of the energy of thought that moved down into that depth appeared to reverse its direction at some unfathomable point.

“The rising impulse caused me to stand, and I felt a surge of force draw up out of my depths and expand, filling my whole body and every level of my consciousness with wave on wave of the most beautiful and joyous energy [Steve: love]. I felt absolutely mad, but the madness was not of a desparate kind. There was no seeking and no dilemma within it, no question, no unfulfilled motive, not a single object or presence outside myself. (3)

Yes, complete satisfaction and hunger for more, at the same time. Archangel Michael also describes it:

Archangel Michael: When the heart becomes fully aware and awakened, what it does, think of it as a domino effect. Oh there can be slight resistance but the awakened heart takes care of all the rest. … It dispels the ignorance, the fear, the denial. It dispels everything. …

When you are anchored or accessing, living in what you think of as a higher dimension, the, shall we say, the ease of knowing becomes easier. It does not feel like striving. It is simply an awareness that is fully present and, as you anchor in the love dimension [Seventh], as we will call it, then of course the access is fully present. (4)

I did find myself in an Ocean of Love, which Michael identified as Seventh Dimensional. (5) It was as he describes it. (6) Y’know the lotus eaters?  I believe that image was an attempt to describe people who are in this love.

Now we can understand what the folks in the rafters are talking about when they say things like this from the Arcturian Council through Daniel Scranton:

“Handling the higher-frequency energies that are coming in and that you have agreed to anchor in for the rest of humanity … is not just an act of service, because you also get to enjoy the feeling of those energies running through you.” (7)

And Jesus:

“I came to know that to give someone love, even when they despise you, is a gift to your own heart.” (8)

Yes, because we get to experience the love too, as it passes up from our hearts and out to the world.

When I’m in that love, having breathed it up from my heart, I kinda walk around like a ballet dancer on occasion – or royalty! This is what royalty thought it was getting! This is what everyone wants.

(2) Archangel Michael: Love is the energy of the universe. It is the energy of the Mother. And it moves constantly, continually, eternally, infinitely. So, to have an experience of love, it [must move] through you.  ( Archangel Michael in a personal reading with Steve Beckow through Linda Dillon, Dec. 5, 2018.)

Archangel Michael: Love is a fluid energy. It has need to flow and so, when it does not flow, it becomes … well, as you put it; it can become dry and brittle. It has need to be given and received above, below, within, without and in every which way. (Ibid., April 30, 2019.)

(3) Da Free John’s experience was very much deeper than mine. He continued:

“I couldn’t contain the energy…. I ran out of the building and through the streets. I thought, if I could only find someone to talk to, to communicate this thing. [Steve: felt need to share; love must flow] The energy in my body was overwhelming, and there was an ecstacy in every cell that was almost intolerable in its pressure, light, and force.” (Da Free John in The Knee of Listening. Original Edition. Clearlake, CA; Dawn Horse Press, 1984; c1973. , Original Edition, 13-4.)

“It would take many years to understand the revolution in my being. It marked the rise in me of fundamental and unqualified life, and it removed every shadow of dilemma and ignorance from the mind, on every level, and all its effects in the body. But I would have to pass through many years of trial before that understanding could become the stable constant and premise of my being.”  (Ibid., 13.)

If Da Free John “couldn’t contain the energy … that was almost intolerable in its pressure, light, and force,” can you imagine how it would be for a person of dark inclination to find themselves in a higher dimension? Torture.

(5) Steve: The space that I call transformative love, what dimension is it?

AAM: It is the Seventh Dimension.

Steve: Then what dimension is bliss?

AAM: It is between Eight and Nine.  (Ibid., Jan. 20, 2016.)

Yes, That. And That. And That

Yes, That. And That. And That

by Steve Beckow

Posted on February 5, 2024

I pursue two paths and they work together like the wings of a bird.

One path has to do with the truth and it’s the path of awareness. Whatever is is true. This path stresses seeing and experiencing what is without any filters or intermediaries. Of prime interest: Self-awareness.

No ritual. No complicated instructions. Just be like a tree, Kathleen says: bare and simple awareness.

The other path has to do with love and it attracts the devotee back again to God.

While love draws the devotee back, awareness helps them recognize the Truth when they reach it: I am That. O Thou I!

At one level the purpose of life is achieved. I know who I am. I know who you are. You and I are God.  At another level, we’re just getting started.

***

At the moment that we knew that, at that moment of recognition and realization, God met God.

Love drew us to that engagement and awareness had us make use of it.

Awareness of what? Not this. Not this. Not this. … Yes, That. (1) And That. (2) And That. (3)

(2) God is in everything but especially in the sight of the Light that’s brighter than a million, billion suns. At Xenia in 2018, that Light was dimmed.

Divine Mother: Let me be very clear…. If you had seen the light as it actually is – yes, a million, billion suns – you would have simply departed. …

We don’t mean die but you would have departed the life that you have designed – yes, with us – for yourself, for the service you are providing – you would have departed and simply said, ‘I do not need to do this. I will just simply sit in the bliss of love and good luck, everybody!’” (Divine Mother in a personal reading with Steve Beckow through Linda Dillon, Oct. 26, 2018.)

(3) God is in everything but especially in the experience of ecstasy. Ecstasy comes when the dimensional experience is complete and we look back in satisfaction, as one would, having climbed to the peak of a tall mountain. Enter “ecstasy” in the search box of An Ascension Ethnography, ibid.

Our Heavenly Warehouse, the Heart

Our Heavenly Warehouse, the Heart

By Steve Beckow

Posted on December 1, 2023

We can’t imagine what we don’t know.

To imagine is to bring a picture of something up in our minds. If we don’t have a picture in the first place, we can’t bring one up.

I’ve watched videos and seen photographs of horrible, horrible acts committed by members of the so-called elite, deep state, or cabal.  In my eight years of listening to refugee claims, I’d never seen (or heard) anything like this.

I cannot recall reading anything about it in the official State Dept. or Home Office refugee-determination literature. Never a mention. (1)

They’d hidden this from the very people who determine who’s a refugee and who’s not, who’s fearing torture and who not, etc.

I didn’t know, think, or suspect that people could – routinely – behave in such cruel and inhumane ways.

Now I can imagine someone doing the same because I have a picture of what we’re talking about in my mind in the first place, much to my regret.

***

As an Indian holy man said to me years ago, it’s all about letting go of our attachment to “I want” (that is, ego and desire).

If the ego blows the “I” out of all proportion, we have an elitist.

If this inflated “I” allows itself to slake any thirst, satisfy any pleasure, any “want,” before you know it, we may end up with a Satanic elitist, Satanism being the only place to find justification for this level of degraded behavior.

Do as the World Economic Forum has done – cultivate (or blackmail) all the leaders of the world – and you have a political cabal or deep state.

That’s what we face now and have faced for longer than I’m able to say.

As I saw with my ego, (2) all of us have this “I want” in us. It depends on how we relate to it.

I want a strawberry crepe right now and there isn’t a chance that I’ll have it. How do I relate to that?

Do I give it only a passing thought and reach for a bowl of cereal? Do I use my irritation and anger to move others to solve the problem? Do I make people suffer?  It all depends on how far I want to take things.

Dictators take things all the way to long knives and purges.

***

If you think of us as being inside a circle of awareness, then let’s call where my consciousness is, normally, the center, the middle. And anywhere, way out there, in the passions, let’s call that the extremes. Extreme sadness, extreme anger – it doesn’t matter.

Everything depends on how far I leave my center and charge out there to an extreme.

By “extreme” what we’re saying is that, in the heat of the moment, we’re allowing one side of ourselves to overshadow and command the other sides to do something we’ve always wanted to do and felt held back from doing. Steal money. Break a window. Kill an inmate. (3)

There exists a divine quality called peace. We also are divine, which means that peace is a part of our nature.

When we stray from peace, we experience what comes at us as discordant.

The extremes are not peaceful. They aim at some form of release through external means like drugs or alcohol. Or fast cars or bungee jumping. Usually they fail or we fail … or we die.

What a waste, when what they’re looking for is to be found in our very own hearts.  How very, very sad.

***

What we’re looking for, really, can only be found in the center, the middle, the heart. Let me be more specific. What I’m looking for can only be found in my very own heart. What you’re looking for can only be found in yours. At least in the copious and endless quantities available there.

I don’t look to you to supply the love I have available in my own heart. I invite us both to begin bringing that love up and nourishing ourselves with it before sending it out to each other.

Sure, I send my love to you. But I don’t overlook the step of getting it first from my heart (on my inbreath). And I circulate that love around my own field before sending it along to you. That’s the major way I experience love. Michael discusses it:

Archangel Michael: Love … moves constantly, continually, eternally, infinitely. So, to have an experience of love is, it [has to move] through you. (4)

And the 9D Arcturian Council agrees:

“You are] handling the higher-frequency energies that are coming in and that you have agreed to anchor in for the rest of humanity.

“Now, this is not just an act of service, because you also get to enjoy the feeling of those energies running through you.” (5)

That’s taking care of myself, loving myself, nourishing myself. And then I’m in a fit condition to love you.

My Car Runs on Love

My Car Runs on Love

By Steve Beckow

Posted on August 29, 2023

My car runs on love

I used to metaphorically act like a car. I’d fill my tank every morning and motor about socializing, coming home elated or deflated – but drained.

Then I’d go through a process of pumping myself up in the morning again and off I’d go.

Until I discovered that what had me feel deflated and drained was not my expenditure of energy. The problem was my filter needed changing. Well, filter(s), really.

Metaphorically speaking.

Or at least that’s what I thought starting out.

And so I labored mightily for decades looking for better filters and postponing any interior refit until I had a good replacement in hand. Cold Mountain. Est Training. Enlightenment Intensives.

And then I discovered a shortcut. Just drop the filter: It wasn’t needed. (1)

Oh my gawd. That was so easy.

***

In 2018, I had an experience of my own innocence and purity and so I feel qualified to tell you: You’re already pure and innocent. (2)

You don’t need to work to get there, any more than taking off our overcoat is work.

We just need to drop the tremendous mental and emotional load we’re pulling, uphill. (3) It was never needed and it isn’t needed now.

Far from it. It’s keeping us from our native experience of innocence and purity.

***

Well, when I got that, it was very liberating. It meant that I didn’t have to postpone dropping my identified filter until I had a replacement. No replacement wanted or needed. Just drop the filter.

Now things began to pick up speed.

All of a sudden I found myself hearing from the ego a lot less: Unforeseen consequence. I found out how to cast off from the ego: Just drop it. Just stop. Just be quiet. Voluntarily. No force involved. No more than dropping a piece of luggage.

That was simple. After a lifetime of struggle, thinking I had to have a good idea to replace a bad one, I saw now that no idea was preferable.

***

Well, then a heart opening blew the lid off all of it. (4) Until then, all of it is happening mostly at the intellectual level, as this event demonstrates. I never knew what love was till now.

A walk through higher dimensionality and a return to planet Earth, so to speak, and here we are. (5)

Past the heart opening, we’re in occasional realizational territory, receding back into the experiential. But intellectual feels much less inviting now than it ever did.

Right/wrong? No use for it. Gets in the way. Just drop it. Don’t replace it with anything.

No juice in thoughts any more. And … no love. I mean, real love.  The kind of love we’re heading towards.

Just stay aboard the train. It’ll be brought to you.

Meanwhile I’m over here, dropping filters and enjoying life more each day. Cheaper than filling my tank every morning, too. My car runs on love. (6)

Footnotes

(1) I had a physical experience of this too. In 1969, I drove my new TR-4 across Canada on my way to Carleton University to do my master’s. But my car kept overheating. No one knew what the problem was until I came to this little rural gas station. Oh, he knew what the problem was, he said, and he removed this little tube from my carburetor and threw it away. It was doing this-a and that-a and wasn’t needed.

My car ran perfectly for the rest of its life after that.

(2) The sight of the Self at Xenia. See An Ascension Ethnography at https://goldenageofgaia.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/An-Ascension-Ethnography-12.pdf. Search on “Xenia.” (I intend my books to be searchable databases.)

(4) Loc. cit. Search on “heart opening.”

(3) I’ll bet that’s why Jesus said his yoke was easy.

(4) When will I take the shortcut here as well and simply drop all filters?

(5) The heart opening culminated in finding myself in an Ocean of Love.  Upon questioning, I was told it was a Seventh-Dimensional experience. In Ascension Ethnography, search on “Ocean of Love.”  (Apparently I’ve had two experiences, according to the write-ups.)

(6) When my tank needs filling, I draw love up from my heart, which fills me up.
