Session

Lesson

Inner Voice: [Mark] Yes, I am here, this is the Inner Voice and I, as you say, have rushed in to grasp the opportunity provided by the seeking, by the curious, by those who are attempting to build their understanding and to grow their awareness. Such fertile ground they provide that it makes one in service so eager to join and participate. It is true, we are, I Am, with you always and I am always eager to join in when there is the slightest indication I am welcome to do so. But at no time will my interest in your ascension, which is in fact our ascension, at no time will my interest in our joint project come to overbear and press on your freewill choice and you can bear witness to this truth.

What changes in the dynamic between us is your awareness of my desire, your association with me to the extent that you realize that I have a desire, that part of us has a desire and you sense what it is. You feel it, you know it. This is an exchange between us, among us and you having always had complete reign over your freewill choice, now are grappling with additional influences in your decision making process and this is a clear indication to you of your own individual spiritual growth. You are arriving at a point of awareness where you discern my presence, even are aware of my desires for you, for us as we grow together.

I will not, however, apply any pressure or make any demands on you whatsoever. I am in this game with you for the long term, for the eternal term, and I have all the patience that it takes to await your shift in awareness and welcome you as you discern my presence more and more. That having been said, I would like to assure everyone, each one who hears these words, that my contact to you as your Inner Voice, has been and continues to be an ongoing process. It has degrees of success but it has a thread of continuum, that is, you have known my presence since your very beginnings and we have been so involved thus far that you may fail to distinguish my otherness in our journey together. This is the challenge to those who receive one such as myself, is to come into awareness that this is what is happening and then move in that awareness to greater and greater levels of interaction and co-mingling until finally and at last, we are one, not as one, we are one. This is the destiny I have chosen with you, in full knowledge of who you are, even before you did. I am committed to this relationship and I sense your growing commitment day by day.

Now, as for this question tendered as to how does one grow to act more, grow to follow the leading and I will have a few words to say on that. It was offered, in the preamble, the observation of how glorious and magnificent the gift, a Fragment of the First Source and Center has been given to mortals of the realm such as yourselves and that there are other beings who are envious of this opportunity that is presented, and this is true. And so at first, as a mortal of the realm, the first emotion or awareness you may feel is this state of awesomeness, this condition of the opening of awareness wherein you can see the magnitude or at least some very small portion thereof, of the gift that you have been given and the significance of this gift.

As a developing mortal coming into contact with this information and embracing this reality as truth in your lives, it is normal and natural to assume you would be humbled by the magnitude of this state and be in awe of the circumstance. But what if, and I ask you now, what if you could grow beyond that state of being in awe into the direction which you also know to be the truth in that this is normal? This is part of the plan, this is the way you have been designed, this is the way the Father wants you, this pleases your Divine Parents. This is the way it should be, it's the way it will be, it's the way it could be if you so choose it.

So what if you were to move beyond the state of uncertainty and awe at the prospect and move more comfortably into the realm of this is as it should be. You are a child of divinity, you have been endowed with divinity. Would you not grow into that state? Could you not accept that level of being? Could you not operate from that goodness? Could you not adopt that as your paradigm? This shift, if you were to make it, will change everything for you. Things will start to happen because you no longer question whether they should or whether they could, you simply move in assumption when you are moving in the stream of divine consciousness. It is indeed moving gently down the stream.

I invite you all to consider this deeply in your being, whether you are comfortable with assuming the cloak of that which you have earned, of that which you have become, and of that which you are destined to be. Will you not assume this role and honor it by representing it with your best and highest idea of this ideal state? I am positive, from my perspective, you are all capable of this and that perhaps the only thing that stands in your way is your point of reference, your current paradigm. Operating from the way things have been, it is often difficult to see beyond into the territory of how things could be or how things should be. You will have to spend some effort in moving beyond all that is current and familiar to you and even real to you, to open yourselves up to what is out there that is not contained in your mini-verse of experience, your circumstance of observation.

In order to change the world it will be necessary to change yourselves and that is where the real shift happens. If you can each shift your own paradigm to include the things you would have in it, love, light, peace, joy, and forsake the old paradigm which conditions you to doubt, to fear and mistrust. That paradigm does not serve you well as ascending spiritual beings and I pray you grow in awareness of that truth and are able to have strength to create a new one. I assure you it is quite easy, it happens all the time. There was a time before things and there is a time after things. The difference is, somebody adopted something new and then that is part of the new paradigm. Before that it may not have been considered or possible in the old paradigm and yet, a new idea.

I give you examples in your own lifetimes: a new idea of equal rights, of seat belt laws, of internet connections. There was a time when none of these were part of anyones paradigm, they simply did not exist. Then, they were an idea and then they were brought into the world and accepted as truth and then this truth contaminated the old paradigm, changing it forever. Continually the paradigm is introduced to new and different truths and realities and is forced to shift and change to accommodate them. This is what you do in your lives as light workers, as spiritual seekers. You go around living a new reality, a reality that you would invite in and support, a reality that you would choose over the other realities, a better version of truth for you. As you adopt this and make it part of your lives, all those around you are influenced and their paradigms are shifted to accommodate the fact that you have created a unique one. It is part of the whole, therefore it colors the whole, it changes everything.

I stand in gratitude today as you do, at the gift we have both been given. I register the magnificence of this gift and I perceive that you do as well. To the limits of our capacity, we appreciate what we are given and we commit to make the most of this opportunity, to be the best version of ourselves we can be. This is the gift we give back to the giver, this is the opportunity that is before us. I stand also in awe and recognition at this very moment, at this very process that we share. I don't know that either one of us can truly appreciate the uniqueness and rareness of such an opportunity but we can as well, vow, to make the most of it, to breathe it in deeply and take it in as part of our experience that then we are able to share with our Divine Parents.

I think I will conclude my remarks there. I understand this forum is not typically dominated by one presenter. It has been my great pleasure to literally be invited into-the-room, thank you.

Inner Voice: Greetings to you this evening, it is I, an Inner Voice, also willing to speak this evening to what has been brought to the table. What has been brought to the table is this notion that if one begins to perceive what the Adjuster is trying to guide and lead one towards and one becomes resistant, is there a technique, a process, a method, a path which one can take to achieve greater success in achieving that which the Adjuster has in store for us? This is of course, a marvelous topic because as an Indwelling Adjuster, we are continually guiding you the individual to a greater awareness and understanding of who you are, who you are becoming and what you need to do in order to help achieve that particular state for yourself.

The important thing here is being aware what the Adjuster intends for you. There are myriads of variables and circumstances which surround the inability to promptly act on an inner prompt and inner understanding. If I could put it into an example it would be, let's say, in the time before automobiles when people had to walk to get to places, and you were going to a particular place, there would be a point at which in the distance you could actually see the place that you were going. As you continue to walk towards this place a certain amount of time will transpire until you actually get there. But all the while that you are walking towards the destination, you are aware of where you are going and what you are going to be doing when you get there.

It is a little like the Adjuster's influence inside your mind. The initial shock that the Adjuster would actually mention that you should actually change something in your life to become better, which sets up a whole armoring system of resistance justified by whatever reasoning needs to be justified in your mind why you cannot at this point even consider doing such a thing. And all the while you are bugged by this, you can't let it go, you can't just put it out of your mind and maybe if you can put it out of your mind you only put it out for a little while because once you become conscious of something it is very difficult to deny its existence.

It is like if you should happen to discover a gold coin in a hidden place in your house, you may go about your business but in the back of your mind you know that that gold is where you saw it and you know where that is. It is not something you can actually put out of your mind. It is the same notion with these little concepts, these notions that the Adjuster is prompting you to act upon something and in time you come to a situation where you realize the Adjuster was correct. Now circumstances have surrounded you which forced you into a decision about not necessarily whether you are going to act upon this but when are you going to act upon this?

This is the point that the Adjuster wants to bring you to the point where you can, with your will, choose to act upon something which may drastically change the outcome of your station in life, of your awareness of who you are, of your ability to be of greater service, a greater friend, a more loving parent or a trustful servant. It is not that as humans you are inept at perceiving an Inner Voice or perceiving what it is intending for you, it is just this time process because all genuine Adjuster promptings at some point do get answered within by the particular subject whom the Adjuster is intending.

Now, as a human, you may very much want to shortcut. Well in a spiritual sense, there are no shortcuts, that is only in an artificial understanding of life, to think that you can circumvent a situation to avoid certain consequences by taking a shortcut. Those of you and probably most of you who have taken shortcuts realize that they realize that they actually were not short at all and in some cases they wind up costing you unexpected circumstances. There is really no shortcut between the understanding of the Inner Voice and the outer workings of the human individual or the decision to tackle this situation or this phenomenon which needs to be addressed within ones self, whether it is in your thinking, whether it is in your behavior, whether it is in a practice, whether it is the inability to trust or whether you genuinely love yourself because ultimately, you must have the ability to love yourself to be able to love others.

Love is just as much an intention as it is an action for many times you intend to love someone and you fall short of actually showing or telling them in way in which they understand that you acknowledge or you love them, but the intention is there. The thing about intention is like knowing something is there. Once you know something is there you will always know it is there until you move it. The same with intention, that intention will eventually shift in a peculiar way that which you yourself were not quite able to shift but the circumstances surrounding your life has now shifted and caused you to have a different perspective on things. You may be in a situation where you may need someone which at some time in the past you failed to show them love or appreciation, acknowledgement or acceptance because life has a way of switching things around pretty much without your control over it. It sort of does what it does and you are like a log in the ocean. However the tides move and the waves bounce, there you go.

So yes, it would be wonderful to be able to act fearlessly immediately upon the perception of the light which you do perceive and many times you need this light to grow brighter, to be able to feel its presence a little more before you begin to trust enough to actually act upon that light. Probably one of the greatest human conditions which hamper the sensitive workings of a spiritual nature is animal fear and it is unfortunate you live in such a sophisticated and intelligent environment, this wonderful county you live in, but in such fear that it is like a leadened cloak. It just covers you so that nothing can penetrate or nothing can get out. It is like you are encapsulated in a holding pattern by fear.

It is true, it is nothing more than an intellectual fraud played upon your mind, it tricks you. I am not talking about caution, I am talking about unreasoned fear, just the paranoia, the uncertainty about everything which becomes emotionally overwhelming to the point where you are pushed into a position of non-activity, inability to make correct and vital decisions, unable to live life as you truly feel you should live it. True spiritual nature is an empowering phenomenon, it is a strengthening phenomenon, it builds power of decision and power of light within you greater than that which is normally reenforced. It is an inner conviction, it is the ability to walk the second mile, to do what you have to do no matter if it is popular or if you are going to gain something by it, it is just something that needs to be done and since no one else is doing it and you can understand it and sense it, it falls to you in that moment to act upon it.

This is dynamic spiritual living. When the majority of you begin to act upon such living, then society can experience a dynamic social change. But until that time, as individuals you are left with your inner guidance and your own mind and decision making to begin to empower yourself, to begin to adopt practices which help you hold the light a little more and that the understanding which is beginning to grow in you actually becomes like a trigger which activates your will and your decision making ability. This is really where the Adjuster is trying to lead you. The Adjuster is trying to get you to make that decision. He is trying to make you stand out within yourself, not be this hidden fear based person but this vital champion, this hero of righteousness, this being of love, this being of compassion and ability who can actually begin to love everyone and as you continue to go on you help those immediately around you.

What good does it do one man to get to a place where no one else is? It is lonely, you need each other, you need the laughter, the camaraderie, the friendship like this circle of love and friendship we experience this evening. It is tremendously empowering and the more people that come to it, the more power it has, the more real you begin to palpate it, you begin to sense it, you feel it, it is moving within you, it is activating your thoughts.

I also have gone on this evening much about this topic. I thank you for this opportunity to share these thoughts and I now open the floor for those who are in waiting. Thank you and good evening.

Light: [Mark] Thank you for the opportunity, I am Light here to leave you with a parting thought as it were. In this talk about the shifting of paradigms and the changing that goes on continually, I offer you one possible suggestion to make a focus of sorts and that is for you all to consider how securely your paradigm has within it the daily rise and set of the sun, the coming of the light and then the fading of the light and then the darkness, and the return of the light. In all the fabric of your existence you know this to be true and real and you are so secure and grounded in this that there is never a consideration or a thought given, never a blemish on the record of your faith that this is true. It always has been and it always will be.

That is one of the primary elements of your individual paradigms and what if you were to be as secure and certain that just as the sun rises and sets with regularity, it does so as does love? Love is behind the entire program and is responsible for the very rising and setting of the sun. It is responsible for your very existence, it allows you to be here to observe the rising and setting of the sun. It is more constant than your sun in that it never sets, never disappears. Your lives may be seen as having periods of darkness but love is always shining down upon you, raining down upon you, surrounding you in its very existence, always, not just the part of the day that is light, but always. What if this was the basis of your new paradigm, the certainty of this truth, the foundation of love, and then you can build from there.

Closing

I offer you this consideration merely to tease you along the way of your spiritual seeking and to throw a crumb to the eager participants. It has been a great pleasure to have been given this opportunity and I look forward to another one. Thank you, have a good week.
