Coming to Know Our Infinite Self

Right now, we’re all here in this dimension, influencing and receiving each-other’s radiance. Some of us have become aware of a larger reality that expands into infinity. Being aware of what it is, we can realize our own presence of awareness beyond spacetime. We are non-localized and infinite in our essence. We are everyone and everything, and at the same time nothing and nowhere. In our essence, we are beyond physicality and dimensions, and we are also embodied as our human persons. Our reality is beyond words and thoughts, but it exists in our realization. Through our intuition, we can gain expanded realization about everything.

As we practice releasing our resistance to life-enhancement, we begin to travel the path to Self-Realization of our true essence. Along the way, we can recognize our self-imposed biases about life. When we accept them, we can resolve them by realizing that we created them without the higher guidance that we have become aware of. When we open ourselves to our deepest, heart-felt, energetic vibratory patterns, there are worlds beyond worlds that we can be aware of. This we do, by giving each of them our attention and recognition through our desire and intention. When we are in love, we can receive our experiences in gratitude and joy, regardless of any energies outside of ourselves. This is our natural state of Being in unending majesty and greatness of living.

As we open ourselves to realizing our true presence of awareness, we can choose to be in alignment with the life-enhancing vibratory patterns of our heart-consciousness. Instead of paying attention to circumstances that we feel as life-diminishing, we can focus on the nature of the challenge with the fear that arises in us. When we change the fear to gratitude in our circumstances, we conquer the fear by changing our polarity from negative to positive. Our frequency becomes elevated and our life conditions change according to our energetic signature.

To many of us, the belief that at some point we all fall into permanent unconsciousness along with the demise of the body engenders imaginary fear of the unknown. Actually, unconsciousness does not exist. The conscious mind can go to sleep, but the subconscious is always awake and aligned with the vibratory patterns that we predominantly pay attention to.  Even in outer space there is consciousness. Astro physicists have discovered that what we thought was empty, unconscious space is a plasma of electromagnetic energy patterns, just like the space in the atoms of our bodies.

There is much that our conscious minds cannot know, including our own eternal and infinite essence. The conscious mind is an energetic expression that we create to experience the intensity of the empirical world. As part of our presence of awareness, it operates without the higher guidance of our deepest knowing, but it can be trained to live in gratitude and joy, while being aware of the light in everyone and every experience.

The Kindness of Strangers

The Kindness of Strangers 

By Rev. Dr. John R. Mabry

Posted on February 20, 2024

Explore these thoughts on receiving spiritual care from someone of a different faith — and giving it.

We live in a multireligious, multicultural society. This is a treasure, but it often comes with challenges. When hardship and crisis strike we are rightly grateful for the kind souls who rush in to care for us—especially those who offer spiritual and emotional care, such as hospital and hospice chaplains, spiritual counselors, funeral directors, or even the caring person in the checkout line who reaches out when we are in a vulnerable moment. Increasingly in our culture, however, those kind people practice faith traditions that are very different from our own. How can we receive the grace they offer in the spirit that they intend? And when we are the ones helping, how can we be of greatest service to folks whose faith is different from ours?

If you are the one being cared for, it is important to remember that you and your caregiver are both human, and have the same human needs, feelings, aspirations, and struggles. No matter how different your spiritual paths might be, simple kindness and compassion are a universal meeting point.

If your caregiver is a professional, you can trust that he or she has been well prepared for ministry, and is a person of significant spiritual maturity. Most likely, there is nothing you are going through that he or she has not seen before.

Even though the metaphors and stories of religious traditions are very different, the process of spiritual growth and the spiritual practices employed by spiritual traditions are remarkably similar. A question like “What happens when you pray about that?” is valid regardless of whether the speaker (or the hearer) is Hindu, Christian, Jewish, Muslim, or Native American!

Your caregiver may also surprise you with his or her knowledge of your tradition. Caregivers are often used to working with people of diverse cultures and traditions, and are often well informed about many of them. Most importantly, remember that no matter how exotic your caregiver appears to be, he or she cares about you, respects you and your spiritual path, and wants to help.

If you are a professional caregiver or just a compassionate person who has an opportunity to give comfort in a difficult moment, remember that a person in need—no matter what his or her faith tradition—has the same needs as you do. Grieving people need comfort, and frightened people need encouragement. You will not be able to use the sources of spiritual wisdom (such as liturgy or scripture) that you would with someone of your own faith, but kind words, caring presence, and reassuring touch are universal.

Remember to be humble about the truth claims of your own faith—what we don’t know is always far greater than what we do know. And while our own tradition is rightly precious to us, it is not the only way to walk a spiritual path. “Different” doesn’t mean “wrong.” We must always be diligent not to fall into the trap of privileging what is dear to us.

Please remember that trying to convert or invalidate the faith of someone who is in a vulnerable place is a betrayal of trust. For professionals, it is malpractice. Even if your personal theology emphasizes conversion, remember that as a professional caregiver, you hold a position of public trust. Do not betray it.

There is no harm in praying silently in whatever way feels natural. But when praying aloud, make sure to use neutral language, or (better yet) use the prayer forms and language favored by the tradition of the person you are caring for.

People don’t need “fixing,” they don’t need suggestions or answers. What they need most is a compassionate ear and the loving presence of another human being. Keep in mind that the Divine does the healing work in any difficult situation, not us. The most effective caregivers are those who know how to get out of the way and allow the Divine to do the work. The best way to do this is to be as aware of the Divine presence as you are of the person you are caring for.

Receive More from the Archangels, Ascended Masters, and Others

Receive More from the Archangels, Ascended Masters, and Others

The 9D Arcturian Council

Channel: Daniel Scranton

Posted on December 29, 2023

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

 

We are so very consistent in our offerings of energy to all of you, because we are offering you energies even when Daniel here isn’t channeling us. We want you to know that you can open up to our transmissions at any time, and you will receive the latest. We also want you to relax into the receiving. We advise you to let in our energetic transmissions. There is no trying involved, and struggling to feel for them will not help. But if you can relax into what is coming to you, and you can do that consistently, day after day, moment after moment, you will feel the expansion of your consciousness occurring in leaps and bounds. 

Now, as we have said many times before in these transmissions, we are not the only game in town. We are not the only ones who are offering you higher-frequency energies. We are not the only helpers you have here in the higher realms, and so at times you may feel like opening up to Pleiadian energies, or the energies of your favorite ascended master or archangel. You may even feel like faerie energy is what you would like to attune to in that particular moment. It’s good for you to know that your spirit guides and higher selves are also very consistent in their offerings to you. 

The transmissions just keep coming and coming, and many of you feel for them. Some of you realize that you have been feeling them after the fact. You may notice some changes in yourself or in your world, and then when you look back at the past several days or weeks, you will realize that you have been receiving energies and you have been working with them. For some of you, this is not new. You’ve been doing it for a very long time, and you know then that it is part of your journey to help others to recognize that they too have energies they can tap in to, receive and work with at any time.

A lot of people who are receiving this transmission are wondering how to do it. It’s quite simple really. You just have to relax. Let go of all of your tension, your anxiety, your thoughts, your worries, your fears, and then you naturally open up to receive those higher-frequency energies that are coming to you from above. And as we’ve said, you can point yourself in any direction you like. You can receive archangel energies one day and Sirian energies the next. The day after that, perhaps you will be more into faerie energy. Think of this as choosing what you’re going to wear today or what you’re going to eat today, and know that we are always open for business. We are always seeking to help, to heal, to guide and to support. 

Most of what we offer is just love, healing, compassion, peace, and all the other high-frequency vibrations, and sometimes it is more specific. And when it is, Daniel here usually tells you about it with our help. Right now, just luxuriate in all the energies that are positive, playful, and helpful, and all around you all the time, and you will never feel alone again. You will never feel separate or abandoned again, and you will always feel full of everything you need to create the beautiful 5D Earth you are continuously moving towards.

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