Session

• (New member, V, attends.)

Opening

Alana : Yes, my beloveds. Welcome.

D : Welcome to you, beloved one.

Alana : This is Alana. Thank you.

And welcome to you (V). We had quite a stir that I should invite you without discussing this with my beloveds. They have forgiven me, yes? (Alana had said, “Invite her.” to D in a private session.)

O : I didn’t know there was anything to forgive.

Lesson

Alana : Are we all in the heart room. (Yes.) We shall construct it again amongst us for the benefit of she (our newcomer) whose heart is open. She asks to enter, so let us allow her to join with us in our construction. And so, we will breathe deeply. And allow yourselves to see the light of God’s love pouring down upon you. Feel God’s energy, the power of our love, in your heart. Open your heart and allow that blue warm light of love to pour through your heart opening across to the one before you. Open the sides of your body. Allow this same warm loving energy to flow out of your ears, through your shoulders, your arms, your hips, your knees, the sides of your feet. Reach out. Allow it to flow into the sides of those on either side of you. We are constructing a powerful wall of love and light. Not a wall that prevents, but a wall that invites and allows. Allow this energy to pour through the toes and across to the toes of the one across from you. See these lines of energy and love wrapping about you, creating our heart room. And now, open the holes in your backs. Open them. Open them. Allow me to gently move behind you and I shall blow my love through you across to the one before you.

Turn your faces up now. Breathe deeply. I want you to open your hearts, open your throats, open your minds. See with me God’s love pouring down through. Father. Mother. Michael-Son. Allow that light to pour down, pouring into your bodies and filling the heart room as that energy comes pouring through your hearts. Welcome our new friend as part of this construction. Pray with me now.

Father, Mother Spirit, we dedicate this time to doing the greater good for all, your will. Give us your blessings.

Allow. Allow. Allow.

And now we shall put your concerns, your fears, your regrets, your beloved ones, put them in the heart room now, and we shall blow love upon them.

And will you welcome Legion?

Legion : Good morning, my friends. This is Legion.

D : Welcome, Legion.

Legion : Thank you. I have come to speak to you again about faith, for our little one, over there, asks many questions about faith. Why does faith leave me to weep? We will say again, your faith is a choice. A choice that you must practice. How I would like it if my disciplines were always easy. (laughter) How easy it is to have faith when all about you looks splendid.

It is not that your troubles and your difficulties in life are presented to you strictly to challenge your faith. Your difficulties are part of your human life. Often they are the direct result of your choices. Sometimes they are the direct result of the choices others have made for you. Or because they have made certain choices, you are caused difficulty or pain. Faith indeed is not a question of difficulty. Faith is a question of choice. Choose what you believe in, see the results.

Why do you forget to choose faith in God’s love? Because you are busy choosing something else, yes? But do not punish yourself for forgetting. I have said many times, your minds are made to think and you will think. The blessings of choosing faith are many. But you are creatures of change. Sometimes you receive these blessings and you want more, yes? (laughter) Your transmitter suffered that disappointment this very week. She wanted more, and in that wanting she saw herself as wanting, she began to wonder if she was lacking in sufficient faith.

Each of you must choose your faith, alone. It can not be given to you. It is true, however, that faith demonstrated provides the opportunity for one who has no faith to discover faith. In this, often, there is the experience that faith has passed from one to another. There is the thought that someone has given you faith. Part of our task is to instill our faith in you, which is to say, to encourage you to have faith in us. As you grow in your ability to feel and to demonstrate your faith in God’s love and God’s joy and pleasure in you, as you begin to demonstrate your faith we will have a tendency to ask you to go forth and give your faith away. Just as we have said, learn to love, accept our love, fill yourself with our love, and give that love away.

We will speak further about faith and the desperate loss of faith that so many on your planet experience. But first I will invite any one of you to speak with me, or with Alana. Thank you.

Dialogue

E : Legion this is my last time in the group for two months. I would like you to tell me what to take with me and how to be while I am not here.

Legion : My friend, you will be missed. Your contribution to this group and to individual members of this group has been greater than you imagine. Take with you all the lessons that your beloved transmitter and her beloved manager will give to you. Read them. You do not need to read them every day. Read them when you move from one place to another. You do not need to read all of them every time you read, but look for those that will bring into you our love for you to share with those you are about to meet again. Take our lessons with you as an introduction, if you will, an introduction of yourself to yourself, as you proceed to reconnect with those you love who have missed you. Practice the silence, the stillness, your prayers. Be an open conduit of the love and the courage that you have experienced here. Give it away. When you return, tell your friends about your experiences. Of course, time and distance will not prevent me, nor Alana, nor Tarkeem, from responding to your need should you call. Thank you.

E : Thank you.

D : This has been an exceedingly ponderous session, as far as I am concerned, beginning with E’s expose of the suicide in his life. What I’d like is something extraneous, curious, and hopefully humorous. My question is, How do you know that N is little? You refer to her as “the little one.’ We can see, of course, that she is small, but how do you know? Please forgive me for such a boisterous question at this point in the session.

Alana : And so, it is you my beloved. (Hello, sweet.) Legion tells me that you are not being boisterous, but rather that you need my love. (Always.) And so I give it to you now. (Thank you, Alana.) I will take this opportunity to ask each one of you, all by yourselves, to open up to the Mother Spirit’s love.

Now all of you, my friend, are “little ones.” But she, to whom I have given this appellation, she rests in my heart in her special way. Energy. Light. Pattern. All of these things comprise your N, in my heart and my embrace. How do I know you are bigger? Your energy, your pattern, your light in my embrace is only you. And you are bigger. We use more than your senses. When she cries, “Alana,” I come to her. I crawl into her mind, you might say. She crawls into my loving embrace. Still, you wish to know how do I know she is little? Because she is N. (laughter)

The power of your faith, the power of God’s love as it is transmitted through you by your faith, is equal in power to anyone who, like you, has faith in God’s love and gives it away. But when we speak of Mr. Practice, or My Little One, we are speaking to and with your patterns, your energies, as you understand them, or do not as the case may be. (laughter) I could certainly, when all of you have surrendered your doubts and said Yes to the heart room, I could find no way to say that any one of you is little or bigger or best. Remember this: God’s love comes to you equally. Your choices may be different. Your experiences may be different. Your perception of your own faith may change. Your perception of your faith as compared to another’s may bring to mind “big or little,” “greater or less than.” But God’s love comes to each of you equally. This you find difficult to accept when you see some people offering more than others. Pain on your planet is very difficult for most of you to accept with balance in your mind and your heart. Still I say, God’s love comes to you equally. Remember. Remember. Remember.

We will speak, perhaps beneficially, to the distress you are expressing when you use the word…sober? (ponderous) No one, not I, not Michael, not Mother Father God, and not yourselves, no one celebrates the loss of life due to all loss of faith. This is a grief. Embrace your grief as we embrace the soul who was lost and now is found. There are many ways in which the mind becomes confused and can not communicate, and can not say, “Help me!” If you have been trapped in such dark caves of confusion, you know then how important it is to have faith. Legion emphasizes his practice of discipline for he knows the desperation that comes when the human mind is so confused. He would have your faith-response well exercised. That is why he asks you to practice. Practice the stillness. Practice the presence of God’s love in your lives. Practice the discipline of love and joy. And so my friend, I do not seem to have brought too many laughters to your table, (laughter) but I will turn that task back to your friend Legion, who, I think, will be glad to give you a slight reminder about the discipline of joy.

D : Thank you.

S : Before you go, Alana, may I ask you a question? (Yes.) All this week I’ve been feeling a kind of core of resistence, a little hard nut that has made it difficult for me to ask. I would love to know where that comes from and how to get rid of it. I am distracted, perhaps, by some physical pain, but I haven’t been able to feel connected to myself, or to anything. Can you help me with this?

Alana : Yes. My beloved, place your hand in the center of the heart room. Now. Put it at the center of the table, as you and everyone else brings it into the heart room. I would ask you to open your hand, open your palm, your fingers as your hand rests in the center of the table, as every one brings it into our heart room. Open your hand. Open your palm. Open your fingers. Open them. And allow Michael’s love to enter through this pain that you have allowed to disconnect you from him and our love. Open your heart, my beloved. Let me enter.

Allow. Allow. Allow. Remember Michael. Remember his love. Allow his love to pour down into you.

Now we will look at that little kernel of distraction and disconnection. Let it rest in the palm of your hand in the center of the heart room. We will blow love upon it. Open that little kernel and we will blow love upon it. Now, my friend, as I blow love into all the holes in your body, surrender. (deep breath) Say Yes to me. (Yes.)

Such a sadness, yes? To think you do not deserve to be loved because you have pain. Such a sadness upon your planet to think you have no love because you suffer. Disconnect that confusion in you mind. Allow yourself to feel loved when you make mistakes, when another does not treat you as you would have them do. Allow yourself some joy even when the world about you is not dancing.

Each of you now, as we sit in the heart room, go deep inside into your stillness with me. Let us blow love upon that little kernal of joy that you, my beloved S, had “forgotten.” Let that joy grow. Allow that joy, God’s love, my pleasure, allow it now to fill this heart room. Ask and you shall receive. Ask and you shall receive.

Ask now: Father. Mother. God of Love, bring me your joy and I will share it.

And that, my friends, is what makes my message both simple and very hard for you. Simple, because when you feel loved, you feel joy, and you want to share it. When you are confused and angry, or hurt and the world looks much too somber, it is then a little bit more difficult, is it not, to share your love and your joy? I would ask you still to make a practice of this. Share your love and God’s joy, even when you imagine that you can be disconnected from it.

It is a simple thing: you take your fingers and you bring them up to your mouth and you pull the edges of your mouth upward. This makes what you call a smile! Yes? (chuckles) Another way to see this is as a wonderful bowl for God’s love and joy to reside.

Your transmitter is shaking her head, saying “No, Alana, that is like the old fifties song, life is just a bowl full of cherries!” (laughter) But I say to her, our love is that strong. If you could only know the love that is in our hearts for you. The love that Michael has for you. The love that awaits you every time you turn your hearts to know.

S : Thank you Alana, and thank you all.

Alana : Yes. We will give Devina a moment or two, and then your transmitter has asked for a break.

Devina : Oh, my beloveds, even when your faith is shaken, we know your hearts and your love, and we come to you, immediately, to brush your troubles with our tender care. I will be speaking to your transmitter alone. I will be giving her a transcript to give to each one of you to hold precious in her absence. Thank you.

• (Break) Group reconvenes and holds hands in the group stillness practice.

Closing

Alana : Yes, I will say good bye for today, after one moment of shared love. Share your love with me. I share my love with you. (Long pause.) Share our love with those you meet. Thank you.

D : Thank you, Alana and Legion. I say thank you for the group, but anyone who wishes to express themselves, may do so.

T : I wish to say thank you. (Alana : Yes.) … his words are indistinct.

Alana : Your path is a beautiful one. Your heart, my friend, is blessed. You have many teachers, not exactly teachers like myself, but those who will accompany you on your path and show you the way. My love will be with you. Thank you.

V : I want to thank you Alana for welcoming me into your circle. And for sharing all that you have, all the love that you have, with all these people. Thank you.

Alana : My dear one, it was our pleasure. You have a very strong core of intelligence and love. Combined with faith in God’s love, you have the ability to radiate and, by this means, to give confidence to others. Practice your faith. We will help you. Thank you.

Our blessings upon you. And you. And you. And my little one. And you. And you. And you. (She speaks to each member of the circle.) Let us all allow. Allow God’s love to pour through….so that you may give it away. Thank you.
