2002-01-11-Allowing Light

Session

Opening

Alana : This is Alana.

David : Welcome, Alana.

Nena : Welcome.

Alana : And so, you have something you would share with me?

Nena : Yes.

Alana : Something you would have me elucidate? You would have more light upon the subject?

David : Do you have a question, Nena?

Nena : For now, no.

Lesson

Alana : So, we will focus our attention on allowing light to fill your minds. The mind becomes very heavy with dark thoughts, such as the head begins to hang down, the body becomes bent over, the feet shuffle. Woe unto those who allow the darkness to dominate their thoughts, to overwhelm the mind and prevent the light, those who harbor secret feelings of anger, those who cling to ancient grudges. Some of you live in circumstances wherein allowing the light to refresh your minds and guide your footsteps should be relatively easy, still you cling to shame and guilt, to blame, to the old rags of tattered costumes. There are those, as you know, on your planet whose circumstances truly are dire, yet they seek and they find the light. When they allow the light to enter, their joy is our joy, even as it may be a simple joy, a quiet joy, a small joy experienced in the midst of squalor. Learn to appreciate the joy available, especially among those of you whose circumstances have minimal requirements of drudgery, pain, and sorrow.

It is the mind that you must train, like a puppy. Come here, not there. No biting. No leaping to overwhelm. No grabbing at the first desire. You train the mind by the use of the stillness, the opening of the heart, and the allowing of God’s light and love to reveal the shadows. In co-operation with God’s light and love, co-ordinating, allowing a co-operation between the mind and the heart, and the guidance from “above,” as you say, or within, as you have come to understand, then you are able to use the mind to train the mind. It is by co-operation of the mind and the heart that you allow darkness, sorrow, anger, and revenge, or light and love. It is a choice, as you understand. A choice that you must make, daily, hourly, within time. A choice made deep in that stillness wherein you seek the still point, wherein resides God’s love. You know you have accomplished what you seek by the increased experience of joy, even in circumstances not usually deemed joyful.

So, has your practice brought joy?

Dialogue

David : Yes. Especially this little practice I’ve begun, with the little songbird. Her voice seems to have the capacity to lift my heart in thanksgiving toward you and all our beloved teachers.

Alana : This is true. This has raised your heart in joy. And elsewhere, do you have more joy?

Nena : Every day there is more and more.

Alana : Every day is more and more joy.

Nena : Yes. The more I open myself.

Alana : Yes.

Nena : Thank you.

Irivina : This is Irivina.

Nena : Ciao, my friend. Buonjourno. You are here a long time, not only now.

Irivina : Yes.

Nena : Thank you.

Irivina : Continue, my beloved. Your pathway is illuminated as you step with crystal shoes upon your feet. You are learning and so will continue. You have learned some lessons well, and even with crystal upon your feet, your feet still tred upon the ground. This is who you are, one with crystal clear understanding, yet her roots, her feet, reaching deep into the ground of being. Your heart has always been open. Your mind needed to understand the crystalline energy that is yours, so that your mind did not create such romantic illusions as would trip you up, your grounding temporarily unsettled. Now you have begun to co-ordinate that connection from within and you, with my assistance, will become stronger in your understanding of the line of energy that reaches down from the still point within your stillness within your heart, reaches down through your body and your legs and your feet, down into the rich darkness of the earth, a darkness of replenishment and nourishment, as well as the line of energy that rises up from the still point within the stillness of your heart up through your neck and that open place at the base of your neck, up through your neck into your head, up through the opening at the top of your head, that line of energy which is the crystalline, which is where I await to speak with you. And so, as you become increasingly comfortable, peaceful, and integrated with this combination of darkness and light as a steady and trustworthy direction, your life will begin to demonstrate your respect and love for yourself and the vehicle that you are for my expression, as well as a more tempered respect and love for others and your ability to serve them without the confusion that has surrounded your previous lifetime pursuits, troubled by romantic illusion.

Closing

Alana : This is Alana, again. What is this romantic illusion, you might ask. It is similar to Legion’s expression of spiritual mythology. It is difficult for many of you to understand the son of God, the daughter of God, is God within men, God within women, and always, as you grow, the task is to co-ordinate these two realities of your being, creating a balance that allows life on your planet to serve others with love and understanding, guided by the altruistic light of God’s love, while also guarding the practical aspects of living in a world troubled by disbelief and lack of trust, as well by fear and doubt and needless suffering. When you have successfully combined the beauty, truth, and goodness of God with the beauty, truth, and goodness of the human being, love flows. And you will not stop it with guilt and shame. Thank you.

Nena : Thank you.

David : Thank you.
