TR: Helen Whitworth

Session 1

Opening

Armesh: "Greetings and welcome. There is much today in absence of thought and stillness of mind. The world seems calmer, yet more intense. Pitched away from the directions that you have grown accustomed to. All is going according to plan. This is just one of many shifts that will happen over the next year or two, as more and more of humanity awaken to their true nature and begin to fulfil that which is within their destiny and within their hearts.

Lesson

"The challenges of such times are many. There are new ways of working to become accustomed to, old habits to shed off like skin. Cleansing, growing, learning all take time, and none should be rushed. There is little doubt that the world is accelerating, and that all that is to come to pass is moving along at a rate un-foretold. And in such times it is easy to lose sight of the moment, to become so wrapped in what is to come that you forget to be Here and Now.

"Enlightenment and awareness is available to you at all times, not just in the future. Though we understand it is harder to maintain this awareness at different times throughout your life. Remember always that all you need to do is to stop and look inside to have your answer and find your comfort. These times need not be uncomfortable. If you resist they will be. If you allow the flow and the resonance, then they will remain easy and will be times of fun and joyfulness. The journey.

"In many ways humanity has lost its soul. This is not to be mourned, but rather looked at as a temporary hiatus that allows a higher and more complete soul to take its place. The spirit is still there, the spirit continues with you all, all ways. And it is with some difficulty that this effect becomes manifest, so long as it is resisted. It will happen. The choices have been made, and you have chosen evolution.

"Much of your history looks different now. Much more of it will change. Even the old ways will be modified, will realize that the beauty and truth contained within them has been held back by structure that has now served its purpose. The many new teachings on this earth are part of this change and it will take some time to integrate the new knowledge, especially as change occurs so quickly at this point that the final result is not yet known.

"Humanity still has a part to play in this path. It still has choices. It can shape the world as it wishes. However, that which it manifests will be beautiful. But it will be the collective consciousness that will decide which particular picture you choose to bring to life.

Lesson

Armesh: "To continue, I wish now to talk of other matters; of matters more esoteric and distant perhaps from the forefront of your mind. I wish to talk of the nature of Solace, that emotion which is hard to define and is a fine line between love and attachment.

"When you find solace in others you find a way of working, such that you fill your own gaps. When it is truly someone you trust, that is done with beauty. Sometimes you may find solace in substance, in materialism. This, too, can have its place, if you learn from its nature and do not fall into the trap of attachment. By seeing which gaps require filling by solace, you identify more easily the gaps within yourself, and then the means within yourself, through which you may fill these gaps by yourself.

"The word itself has two parts. 'Sol'; the sun, the only, and 'Ace'; a trump card, the thing which will always make you win. The one. By finding the sun within one's-self, you have all the trumps you need. Look to yourself for solace. Be your best friend in times of need.

"Trust in yourself, for there is beauty within you immeasurable. Any comfort, any need you ever feel can be filled from within yourself, from within your Sol, from within the Ace of your Soul. The One that is your Sun.

Do not find solace in spirits around you. We are here to assist. We are here to be your friends. We are not here to fill those holes. You do not need anything outside of yourself for that task. We will hold your hand in times of grief. We will mop your brow in times of fever. But only you can make the choice to always live and love with passion and joy from within your own eternal spirit.

Session 3

Armesh081004BarnardList-Zeen_LearningMethods-3 Cheshire, UK, August 10, 2004. Midwayers/Teachers Armesh and Zeen. Subject: "Learning Methods." [Part transmission only]. Received by Helen Whitworth.

Lesson

The Teachers: "There are many questions at this time regarding the nature of water, the nature of substance, and the nature of spirit…the nature of many things that you have become attached to over the years (by) living within your reality. We could tell you much, but much would not make sense in just a short time as our course continues to change and the reality in which you live continues to change.

"There are areas, yes, it is helpful to pursue, that of resonance, for one. You are aware of this and we applaud your efforts of explaining how the nature of resonance can affect humans at their deepest level. There is much more in this subject that will come out over time. As for water, it is indeed the carrier of life. There are sparks in water that you do not currently measure, and it, too, has a great deal to teach.

"The substance of spirit is one more difficult (subject). In time that, too, will be measurable, will be understood, but know that the way to fully comprehend its nature is not by experimenting with your wee electronic machinery but through the human experience. It will be possible to prove effect.

"It will be possible to see the outcomes, but do not become attached to these, for then you become attached to another reality, which again is just another smokescreen protecting you from the full glory of All that is God, which you are able to contemplate at high levels, but to which you cannot draw overly close without danger to your circuitry.

"Your way of (coming) closer to God is within your heart. Do not forget this.

"It will soon be easy to lose yourself into the information that is available. There will be so much, which way do you turn? What do you learn of today? The choice will always be simple if you follow your heart, and many times you will find 'no information' is what is best; to learn purely your own way and then to join with others after time, to form consensus. It is exciting, yes, to understand more, and it may assist many in grasping concepts they are not yet ready for. It is often easier to accept first with the logical brain than with your heart, but unless it moves from that place to a full comprehension it is unimportant, and any of you now can have the knowledge you request by looking within yourself.

"The world is a big place, and it is getting bigger. The veils are withdrawing. We do our best to not overwhelm you. You must take of that responsibility though for yourselves. We know you will be okay, you always are, and it is with love and tenderness (that) we watch your struggles and your learnings, your play. And remember, too, that play is the most valuable way of learning, especially for young infants as you are, as a race, at this time, starting to understand yourselves in relation to others, rather than the egocentricity of a small baby who is dependant, yet does not fully realize that anything apart from itself exists.

"You are going through the translation from being center of your world that everything revolves around, to learning your place within a large society. It is a fun time. Do not lose sight of that. Through play you will always learn.

"We send you love as always, and surround you in a storm of floating feathers, whirling around the room, drifting softly down. Bright white, land down-ily around you, swirling up, patterns, love, energy and freedom. Each one circling in its air current. Each one going to a soft landing, like big snowflakes, making softness, and blanketing on the world.

Closing

And so we blanket you in our love, and wrap you tight, and hold you, rubbing you down in a big white soft towel, to let you know you are safe, and you are secure and you are beautiful. We leave you now with fondness and admiration for your progressions as members of the human race. Armesh and Zeen.
