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.

Understanding Spiritual Health in Uncertain Times

Understanding Spiritual Health in Uncertain Times

From Chaos to Calm

By Angela Levesque

Posted on February 4, 2024



Spiritual health is a vital aspect of our overall health and well-being. And it has become increasingly important in these chaotic times. Some describe this moment as the post-truth era. Where everything we see, read, or search on the internet is up for debate. Is that image fake? Have you been embroiled in an internet fight with a bot unwittingly? It is getting difficult to know what is truth and what is illusion. In such a destabilizing time, spiritual health assists us in honing our discernment skills, gives us tools for inner peace, and helps us to focus on what is meaningful.

What is Spiritual Health?

Similarly to physical and mental health, spiritual health is key to our overall sense of fulfillment, happiness, and well-being. And just like someone would focus on diet and exercise to improve physical health. There are characteristics and aspects that one should focus on to improve their spiritual health. Although the expression is highly individualized and subjective, there are commonalities within this dimension of wellness.

Characteristics of Spiritual Health

Seeking Meaning and Purpose: Individuals with positive spiritual health are seekers of meaning and purpose. They want to contemplate the deeper questions about existence and their role in the world. And they value living a purposeful life.

Clarifying Values and Beliefs: Whether they are rooted in religion, philosophy, or a sense of interconnectedness with the universe. A person with a strong sense of spiritual health will have spent time exploring what it is that they care about. And they will understand their beliefs and how they were formed. Being willing to re-evaluate and release any that no longer serve them.

Valuing Relationships: Understanding the interconnectedness of all things is a fundamental aspect of spiritual health. Whether it is your connection to the natural world, the people in your life, or your relationship with your inner self. They value nurturing these connections and practice love, forgiveness, gratitude, and seeing from each other’s perspectives.

Learning About Spiritual Concepts: It doesn’t matter if your spirituality is seated in religion, New Age philosophy, or Paganism. What’s important is to dive deep into teachings and learn the foundational concepts. This provides a more meaningful connection and gives the person spiritual tools and techniques in alignment with their belief system.

Self-awareness: Spiritual health often involves frequent and deep introspection. It requires the seeker to understand who they are and how they show up in the world. Paying attention to their thoughts, emotions, and actions and how they are all interconnected.

A Perspective of Interconnectedness: Understanding the interconnectedness of all things and being able to toggle between the perspectives of the individual and of the All. This means that a person can have a healthy ego AND understand that we are all one. And knows when to operate from those different perspectives.

Transcendence and Awe: Spiritual health may involve experiences that go beyond the ordinary, such as a sense of awe, wonder, or moments of transcendence that move people out of separation into a larger field of meaning and connectedness.

Seeing the Beauty: Recognizing and appreciating the beauty in the world, whether in nature, art, or human experiences, contributes to a sense of the divine. Appreciating beauty is one of the easiest routes to exploring the world energetically.

Being in Integrity: Having a healthy spiritual life asks the seeker to be authentic in their actions and words. It also means being accountable for your actions and honoring your commitments to yourself and others.

Acts of Service: Contributing positively to the well-being of others and the broader community is an important part of being a spiritually healthy person. And promotes a sense of compassion, generosity, and interconnectedness.

Engaging in Spiritual Practices: Techniques such as meditation, mindfulness, prayer, yoga, ritual, and ceremony are just a few examples of practices that connect people to Spirit and often enhance their sense of peace and self-awareness.

Cultivating Gratitude: Gratitude is a powerful tool for enhancing spiritual health. Take time each day to reflect on the things you are thankful for, whether big or small. Gratitude not only shifts your focus from what you lack to what you have but also fosters a sense of contentment and connection to the greater good.

Taking care of your spiritual health involves connecting with your inner self, finding purpose, and fostering a sense of peace. Feeling connected to something larger than ourselves assists us in leading more meaningful lives. And allows us to explore the world from multiple perspectives. Developing these aspects of ourselves will play an important role in the future of humanity. And help us to mitigate so much of the stress and uncertainty in these tumultuous times.

Our Values Need Reviving

Our Values Need Reviving

by Steve Beckow

Posted on January 7, 2024


Whistleblower pilot


I’m reading a headline on Youtube: “XXX Company Paid Doctor To LIE So They Could Fire Most Experienced XXX Pilot And Safety Whistleblower.”

Never mind whether it’s true or not, why am I not surprised at the headline itself?

It’s the implication that a reputable company would engage in fraud like this.  My innocent self says, “Really?”

And, if it were the only instance, OK. No pattern here. But the pattern, unortunately, seems to be all over.

And, when I read it, I wasn’t surprised by the headlines. I was surprised that I wasn’t surprised.

Whether it’s XXX in airlines, YYY in broadcasting, or ZZZ in entertainment, I have the “always, already listening” now, to use Werner Erhard’s phrase, that fraud is rampant in business and, I notice, I believe in many other departments of human activity as well.

The global elite really did think that this was their time and ransacked the place when opposed. Burning down one city after another with directed-energy weapons, (1) trashing other cities with paid goons, staging false-flag protests like J6, they aimed to take over the place or destroy it.

If what I believe is true is true, then we’ve eroded our socially-held values to a mournful extent and have to recover them in our long walk back from this state of affairs … or state of ruin.

Where can we turn?

Our human-rights declarations and treaties are mostly prohibitive, protective: One cannot do this; one cannot do that. They don’t pretend to offer a vision of our basic values as a planet, that takes into account our spiritual dimension or the divine qualities or universal laws.

In fact very little of our public discourse does take in the spiritual dimension. Philosophically this paradigm that denies the spirit is called empirical materialism.

It holds that only what we can perceive with our senses is real. In our new visioneering, we need to let that paradigm go and weave the spiritual back in.

Where we can turn of course is to channeled literature. Our partners on the other side are pulling out all the stops to guide us in where to go next, what to do, etc.

We have such a body of counsel in the channeled messages made available to us over the last 25-30 years that it’ll take future scholars many years again to organize it so that we can use it to guide our future societies.

The work falls to lightworkers to lead in all of this. Others won’t have the knowledge of the Divine Plan, our roles in it, etc.

And, no, we don’t have degrees and affiliations. But, then, looking at the massive fraud that the pandemic represented, (2) surely we can see that degrees and affiliations can be subverted. They’re not an adequate basis upon which to found a vision of our basic values as a planet.

And the pandemic is just one scam. Add to it climate change – whether you’re predicting global warming or a global ice age, since both have been predicted by climate “scientists” in tyhe last 100n years – and chemtrails, rate-fixing, warmongering, fluoride in the water, fentanyl, on and on the list goes of ways the deep state, the global elite wanted and tried to subjugate or destroy us.

All this points to an underlying near-collapse of our values that we should have let it happen. Are we so enamored of our cellphones and laptops that we’d allow the takeover of the planet while we watch videos?

I wouldn’t know where to start, but I’m willing to dig in nonetheless. I’ll have to leave the actual words to my senior partner.

Let’s see. Hmmm….

“We recognize love as the essential state of consciousness and value it above all else….”

Alright. OK. I got it.

Footnotes

(1) Paradise CA, Lahaina, I believe Yellowknife (check that one out).

(2) Where doctors, hospital administrators, and even military brass willingly – and profitably – perpetrated a scam on the rest of us, where medical colleges and journals joined in the fraud, and everyone up and down the lines of influence knowingly persecuted those who refused the shots or protested against them.
