Sharing, Giving, and Love

Sharing, Giving, and Love

Sharing, giving – as with Stephen and Anthony –  can send me into this higher form of love that arises after a heart opening.

I’m in it now. If I allow it, I might move into it so completely that I’d forget what I was doing. (At least I think I might. I don’t want to find out because it might create a problem vis-a-vis my soul contract.)

Long-time readers will remember that that’s not what the Divine Mother or Archangel Michael want from me.  (1)

I’m to stay right where I am and go up with everyone else and write about it. Which is what I’m doing right now.

The Lord Arcturus aletered my original contract (which was to write about love) by asking me to go up to and visit the higher dimensions and report back. (2)

Interestingly they seem to not want me to become an interdimensional Gulliver. My interdimensional travel is all through divine states of being.

In 2015 it was love. In 2016, bliss. At some time lost to me, ecstasy, with mere hints of higher realms.

And, in fulfilment of my primary soul contract, (3) I’ve returned to write about these states. They’re temporary now, but after Ascension they’ll either be permanent or else we’ll be able to visit the realms where they exist.

Most of us will ascend to the Seventh Dimension, which apparently is the cut-off point for the ability to visit the higher dimensions. (4)

Footnotes

(1) Steve: Can you help me make sense of returning to my interdimensionality while not becoming a guru figure?

Archangel Michael: It is very simple: visit don’t stay.  So what you are doing, you are pulling into the 5th – into what you think of as your reality – the qualities of mastery [11th] without setting yourself apart from the masses [4th].

You are … teaching others that they can access the mastery [11th] and still be in the Christ Consciousness [7th], in the expanded awareness in the physical form [4th] and in the [transformative] love [5th and higher].  (Archangel Michael in a personal reading with Steve Beckow through Linda Dillon, May 6, 2013.)

Steve: The Light I saw should have been brighter than a thousand suns. The fact that it wasn’t suggests to me that the experience was truncated [moderated, toned down].  …

Divine Mother: It was not is brilliant as possible, let us put it that way.

Steve: Alright… And again, the reason is to keep me in sync with my readers?

DM: To keep you in sync with your readers. But 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.) (Hereafter DM.)

(2) Lord Arcturus: Now, you have come to a planet in this and in other lifetimes to assist – yes, through communication, through clarity – with the progression of the planet through the elimination of the old third, which was really quite disastrous [to] the progression up through the fifth, through the six, to the seventh so that the planetary system will reside in a level of higher consciousness, Christed consciousness as you think of it.

Now in order to do that, it is highly beneficial – and this is where mutuality comes in – that you would have, not only the intelligence but the perspective of the higher dimensions (it is not a hierarchy but it is different).

And so the perspective, say, of the ninth dimension is very different than the perspective of, say, the third, the fifth or the seventh dimension.

Because it is very important that humanity realize, as they are in their unfoldment to a grander plan, that the seventh dimension is not the end of the road, not the be all and end all.

And so, some of the perspective, the experience, the knowing, the intelligence of different dimensionality is highly beneficial [to you] in helping them move into that higher-dimensional anchoring.   (Lord Arcturus in a personal reading with Steve Beckow through Linda Dillon, June 12, 2019.)

(3) Divine Mother: You have chosen long long ago with Me, with Annastara [my twin flame], with ME KI AL, to be a communicator and an agent of change.

You have said to me, “Mother, what if they forget? I will remind them. I will communicate with them through words, through my passion, through my heart, through my knowing. I will communicate the love to them.”

This is your task and it is a task of change as this planet, in this great chaos, in flux, chooses, yes, by this wonderful instrument of free will, as they choose and as you choose to simply be the love.  (DM, April 30, 2019.)

(4) Steve: Access to the seventh means you have access at will to any of the other dimensions…

AAM: You always have. You just don’t know it.

Steve: At that point in the seventh, we have the degree and quality of love … that allows us to see that we can access the others, is that correct?

AAM: Yes. (Archangel Michael in a personal reading with Steve Beckow through Linda Dillon, March 10, 2017.)

There is No Greater Gift than Listening -4 Sharing and Listening

There is No Greater Gift than Listening 

Vol. 4 Sharing and Listening

By Steve Beckow

Posted on March 31, 2024


This fourth and last volume in this series looks at what is most valuable to listen to – a share.

A “share,” as it was known in the growth movement, is a deeper self-revelation than ordinary conversation.  It aims at the person being known to others, at a deeper level than like/dislike.

Deep listening invites deep sharing and deep sharing is what unveils the truth that sets us free.

Here then is a chapter on how sharing equalizes us because, whether we’re a prince or a pauper, we feel the same feelings and probably have many of the same thoughts.

All Shares Are Born Equal

March 6, 2009

A “share” happens when I tell the truth about myself. That truth may be a felt truth, a believed truth, a known truth, a perceived truth, etc. What one share holds in common with another is its relationship to the truth – my truth.

I use “shares” as the major tool of my emergence. I use my shares to strip off layer after layer of the onion of self-protection until what is left is nothing but transparency.

I retreat from sharing when I feel my survival, or the survival of anything with which I identify, seems at stake. The more I’m into survival, the less I share, unless I break through (i.e., emerge).

Usually when I haven’t shared, the reason is the same: I fear you. I fear what you will do to me. I fear giving you information about myself. I’m protecting myself from you.

A share is not a download of factual information. It is not a scientific assertion. It is not the “truth” about someone else. A share is the truth about me, from me, to you. Your share would be the truth about you, from you, to me.

My share is neither more nor less important than yours. As far as I’m concerned, all shares are born equal. Shares are the great equalizer. King or commoner, everyone has a truth to tell. I seldom tire of listening to your truth.

A share is only “verifiable by me.” I’m the expert on what I’m feeling inside this rental unit. You may know my habits, my acts, my opinions, but you’ll probably never know the truth for me.

And even if you think you do, whether or not that is actually the truth for me is something only I can say. Even if I lie, I remain the last word on what the truth really is for me.

Where I’m at with my life is where I’m at. It is neither better nor worse than where you’re at with yours. All of us go through the same steps from God to God. Some of us were released as sparks earlier than others. But all travel the same general road to the same specific Destination.

If I’m in Seattle and you’re in Chicago, if my time zone is Pacific Standard and yours is whatever it is, what difference? The same with shares.

Something shared is past. Release comes only from the next share. The value that I receive from sharing is not something I can put in a piggy bank. Yesterday’s share is gone.

Everything now rests on the share of this moment.

I know when I’ve shared the truth because I feel release. The truth has set me free. I know when I haven’t shared the truth because I feel stress. Moving away from the truth has further bound me.

My share, to be of any value, does not rip your face off. Since a share is about myself, staying with myself is one sure way to see that harmlessness prevails. Sharing maximizes harmlessness. If my sharing harms, there is no value to it.

Sharing takes me away from blame-based communication by centering my attention on me. I hear your share. I acknowledge it and mirror it back to you. Then I respond with how it is for me.

After a while, I no longer mind your business. The increasing release I feel from sharing captures my attention.

Hopefully you will no longer mind my business too, but the bigger gain is simply for me to keep on sharing no matter what you do.

Shares have their time and place. The traffic cop and the bus driver may not want to share with me. Air traffic controllers do not share with each other. I wouldn’t want a medic to collapse in tears at the sight of suffering, sharing how it is for him or her.

The President may, on occasion, not want to be transparent for the good of the nation. Not all the world’s business can be conducted through sharing, although an increase in sharing probably wouldn’t hurt.

Emergence is the name of the game for me. Your emergence is what I’m here for (mine too). I am a space to receive your share and in which the truth of mine arises.

Sharing and the Levels of Communication

Sharing and the Levels of Communication

by Steve Beckow

Posted on January 31, 2024


In our quest to contribute to healing the wounds of society, we’re looking at ways of communicating that might work better than what we’re doing right now.

Where it all goes, where it all leads is in the direction of the acceptance and agreement to live by the divine qualities. That’s the matter in short.

Why is that? You should be tired of hearing me say this by now: The purpose of life is to know who we truly are. When we find out who we truly are, God meets God and for the pleasure of that meeting – as if God looked in a mirror – was all of this created.

Being like God – living up to the standard of the divine qualities – brings us closer to God.

Hey, you want your money back? Guess what? Given who you truly are, this is your purpose too.

Besides, you’d be walking out on the greatest show on Earth … or anywhere else for that matter! You’ll kick yourself later!

***

The growth movement gave the name “sharing” to communication, of whatever type, that goes deeper than superficial observations and aims at revealing our truth and being seen, heard, etc.

Let me therefore map onto our notion of “sharing” our notion of the three levels of knowledge – or in this case of communication.

I hypothesize the existence of three levels of communication: (A) The intellectual, (B) The experiential, and (C) The realizational.

Intellectual knowledge is an exchange of ideas only, usually spare in emotional content.  The emotional context usually does not draw comment, but is tacitly accepted – enthusiasm, sadness, confidence, etc.

In terms of inner experience, intellectual communication by itself does not usually lift us to higher-dimensional realms. We may ascend to them because our “enlightenment board” on the other side (1) has decided that, overall, this is the time. But our ascension will probably not have been triggered by our intellectual practices per se.

Intellectuality is dualistic. It often gets bogged down in right/wrong, good/bad, which seem to be the highest distinctions that it can agree on.

It invites separation by its very nature: subject + verb + object.  And separation invites egocentrism, the self-serving bias, etc.

I don’t find intellectuality sustaining, personally. Not once we’ve tasted higher-dimensional love.  That new knowledge lets the air out of the balloon of beliefs and feelings that holds our love of intellectuality in place and we tend to fall silent more often.

***

Experiential knowledge is more immediate, direct and sustaining.

We feel. We’re aware of how we feel. We respond.

It may be hard to communicate, but other experientialists know what we mean and what we’re trying to communicate. And we bond and cooperate with them in a way that intellectuals usually do not. And we wonder what the intellectuals are all arguing about.

Most people in our society don’t appear to know how or what they feel. As someone once put it, we have a low emotional IQ.

Our society doesn’t seem to reward experiential knowledge as much as intellectual. We’ve become a self-serving society, publicly at least.

And, in my opinion, what serves self-servingness is talking a good game and managing our image.  As I see it, that’s where our energy seems largely to go these days.

***

Realized knowledge, such as an “Aha!” moment, is not mystical. It consists of (A) a problem and (B) bliss. Bliss lifts us up to a place of expansiveness and freedom from stress such that what we could not see earlier is easily seen now. Problems become simply situations that one must see themselves through – and does, gladly.

If we don’t have something we’re looking at, when bliss lifts us up, we tend more often to simply sit and enjoy the state.  I never get tired of bliss.

Bliss sustains and rewards us for all life’s efforts. (3) Whatever it took to get us to that place, we express our gratitude to and for.

If there’s more – and of course there is – we need no more convincing, We’re enrolled, Lead, kindly Light.

***

We get to choose where on that map of communication we want to locate ourselves. Or we may choose to shift from one to the other.

I need to communicate with you so I remain for the most part in the intellectual. But either during writing, or before or after, I can breathe bliss up again from my heart and refresh myself.

The ability to do that comes with a fourth-chakra heart opening, the most junior of enlightenment experiences.  (4) Remember all of us are angelic and thus we live outside the body beyond the dimensional enlightenment spectrum.

Since I must communicate in a way that’s easily understood, even though I’ve sampled experiences all the way to the Twelfth Dimension, (5) they’ve been toned down, truncated in most cases in that they lacked the bliss which would have lifted me to the realizational level.

Experientialists state that they aren’t understood by intellectuals. Intellectuals state that they don’t know what the experientialists are talking about. And it gets worse the higher up the ladder of consciousness we go.

People with realized knowledge are often unable to communicate their experience or knowledge to those around them. First of all there aren’t words for the experience itself; only its impact on us.

Secondly there’s nothing in the Third Dimensional world to compare higher-dimensional experiences to, except very metaphorically. To illustrate: Realization, metaphorically speaking,  is like a starburst of understanding.

OK, I’ve introduced the two notions. Let me leave the subject there and pick up later.

(2) I’m leaving aside a brief moment in the Transcendental, which I called “exaltation.” See: The Consciousness State of Exaltation at https://goldenageofgaia.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Consciousness-State-of-Exaltation-4.pdf

(4)  See:

(5) Steve: what dimension is bliss?

Archangel Michael: It is between Eight and Nine.

Steve: And ecstasy?

AAM: Twelfth.

Steve: And what about exaltation?

AAM: Then you have moved beyond.  (Archangel Michael in a personal reading with Steve Beckow through Linda Dillon, Jan. 20, 2016.) (Hereafter, AAM.)

Archangel Michael: What you are doing, you are pulling the 5th into what you think of as your reality [3rd/4th], the qualities of mastery [11th] without setting yourself apart from the masses [3rd/4th/5th].

You … are teaching others that they can access the mastery [11th] and still be in the Christ Consciousness [7th], in the expanded awareness in the physical form [5th or cleaned-up 3rd] and in the love [7th].  (AAM, May 6, 2013.)

Lord Arcturus: It is highly beneficial – and this is where mutuality comes in – that you would have, not only the intelligence but the perspective of the higher dimensions (it is not a hierarchy but it is different).

And so the perspective say of the ninth dimension is very different than the perspective of say the third, the fifth or the seventh dimension.

Because it is very important that humanity realize, as they are in their unfoldment to a grander plan, that the seventh dimension is not the end of the road, not the be all and end all.

And so, [you having] some of the perspective, the experience, the knowing, the intelligence of different dimensionality is highly beneficial in helping them move into that higher-dimensional anchoring. (Lord Arcturus in a personal reading with Steve Beckow through Linda Dillon, June 12, 2019.)

Sharing Gifts

Sharing Gifts




The Creator Writings

Channel: Jennifer Farley

Posted on December 15, 2023
 

 

Today, you are invited to look back at all the amazing people you crossed paths with or have known during your lifetime. 

The interactions may have been awe inspiring or humbling, they may have awakened a part of your soul you did not know existed or put you on a path you were not expecting. 

Each one of them gave you a gift that you may not have been fully aware of at the time but, has come back to you full force. 

As you move through this next shift, embrace those beautiful moments and let them flow into you. 

The Universe is showing you that, in sharing gifts (from others and yourself), immortality does exist, and you are truly a part of it all.

Leaving the Cycle of Conflict

Leaving the Cycle of Conflict

By Steve Beckow

Posted on September 3, 2023




There isn’t much we can do, individually, about the conflict building outside of us.

But we know there’s more at play than meets any ground-level eye (ours included).

And we know that it’s guided by universal laws. One of them is the Law of Balance, also called As Within so Without, As Above so Below.

Conflict without.  In Earth’s history, it’s been cyclical. It surely must mirror the conflict within contemporary leaders.

As I watch the conflict arise within me, I see – and remember – how often in my life I’ve been embroiled in cyclical conflict. Heavens, my first fourteen years were nothing but one long cycle of conflict, veering into a cycle of abuse at times.

I have within me the cycle of conflict. I’ve long wanted to address the subject and with the mayhem outside of us at  present, this may be the ideal time.

In the next few articles, I’d like to look at a cycle of conflict that I think a lot of us may recognize.

***

The rising love energies are said to be bringing conflict to the surface wherever it exists.  None of it can come with us when we ascend.

All of it must rise to the surface, be experienced, learned from, and released. Or, if we attach ourselves to it and hold onto it, we may have to wait for the next bus.

My family followed a cycle of conflict, erupting into catastrophic abuse on three occasions.

I inherited a two-handed script that incorporated both their lines and moods.

I’m now seeing that many people in relationship follow the same cycle; hence my desire to have a look at it as a subject.

***

Again, I’m talking about ongoing domestic conflict that never reaches the level of violence, but does reach the level of hostile and continual bickering that never gets resolved.

The first thing that needs to happen to get beyond it if we’re in it is, in my opinion, to become aware of it.  The graphic, below, is a description of how the cycle of conflict works and how my family operated.

Here’s what occurs. There’s an argument, a blow-up, an explosion. Then there’s a time of separation, a cooling-off period.

Finally someone breaks the ice. Then there’s a reconciliation, a brief period of getting along, broken by some disagreements that were never resolved.

Let’s pause here for a moment. Those disagreements, if they’re discussed at all, are discussed in good/bad, right/wrong terms, without either side taking personal responsibility. A lot of name calling, raised voices. People refuse to talk – or listen.

If we stay with good/bad, right/wrong, then the withholds – the things we’re not sharing which generate resentment in us – mount. When they become too many to manage and any little spark is applied, we explode.

Then we separate and remain in our corners until someone breaks the ice. And away we go, all over again, less hopeful, less optimistic and … nothing has changed….

Thereafter, we make several unproductive choices. I’d like to go over them, and possible ways out, in the next few articles.
