Find
bliss beyond your expectations
A
dictation by the Ascended Master Patrick. This
dictation was delivered on May 18, 2007 during the Shangra-la Ascension
conference in Ireland.
In the stillness of nature is where you find your power, in the stillness
of the heart. I am Patrick, the Ascended Master Patrick. For in this
day and age, I prefer to leave out the “Saint.” For my beloved,
as an ascended master, surely you realize that I am not a Catholic.
And thus my beloved, I am here to raise up all life, not only those
who belong to a particular religion or race or ethnic or national group.
So my beloved, even though I won my ascension serving Christ in Ireland,
I am not Irish either. For when you ascend, you go beyond all human
divisions. For as Mother
Mary so beautifully explained earlier today, you ascend by surrendering
the human conditions that make you think you are outside the kingdom
of God.
My beloved, this beautiful rosary that you have just given, the Rosary
of the River of Life, is one of my favorite rosaries. And it is
partly because it so beautifully captures the essence of the River of
Life that we experience in the ascended state. The ongoingness of the
joy of God that is unstoppable, that always flows—no matter what.
But I must tell you, also, that this rosary reminds me of a personal
experience that I went through after I had been in Ireland for a while.
My beloved, on a cold, damp, fall day, I had come to feel somewhat discouraged,
for I felt that there had not been the expected response to my coming
and my preaching, even to some of the so-called miracles that had been
performed by God through me and those who also were willing to come
up higher with me. And so I did, as I so often did, take a walk in the
mountains. And I came upon this little brook, much like the one you
saw in the pictures, much like the one you followed in the ascent up
the mountain yesterday. And I sat down and I quite frankly put my head
on my knees and shed a tear in despair. And for some time I was going
over in my mind what I felt was my personal woes. For I too could sometimes
become melancholic or – as the modern saying goes – depressed.
Fortunately, there was no psychiatrist standing next to me ready to
offer me a get-happy-quick pill. So after some time of feeling sorry
for myself, my attention was suddenly called to the gentle babbling
of the stream. I raised my head and I looked up and I saw this miniature
waterfall passing over a small rock. And suddenly my eyes zoomed in,
and I saw how that rock had been worn soft and smooth by the passage
of the water during the passage of time.
And suddenly, I realized that even if I did not see visible results
in my lifetime in this land, then surely my efforts were not in vain.
For I would plant a seed, and as that seed would grow it would be like
the flowing stream where even the soft water could wear away the hardened
rock. And in an instant my depression, my self-pity, was flowing downstream
with the water. And my spirits were lifted. For I realized that that
water had to come from somewhere. It had to come from the top of the
mountain. And beyond that top, it had to come from the rain that descended
from the heavens.
And so I felt reconnected to the River of Life. And I felt that river
flowing inside of me and I was greatly comforted and energized. And
I leapt to my feet and I walked back to our humble mission, and I was
a transformed person, for surely my compatriots had noticed my somewhat
gloomy demeanor, as I pushed aside an uneaten dinner and walked up in
the hills without saying a word.
How they destroyed the Church of Ireland
And so my beloved, I give you this image to inspire you. But also to
give you a realistic assessment of what it was like to be Patrick. For
you see, my beloved, when you look back at my life today – after
1,500 years of idolatry and idolizing – you do not see the real
Patrick—for how could you? You see, my beloved, you see the Saint
Patrick that the Catholic Church – especially the Catholic Church
of Ireland – has wanted to pass down to you. They do not want
you to know the real person as I was back then or as I am today as the
ascended master.
You see, my beloved, they want you to accept their graven image, for
their graven image is carefully crafted to give you the impression that
I was so special and so far above you that you could not possibly walk
in my footsteps and make a difference for an entire country. Do you
see, my beloved, they do not want you to realize that if you are willing
to let God in you flow, to let your light shine, then God in you can
make a difference for your country. If just one person is willing to
be God in action, to realize the truth in Christ’s words that,
“I of my own self can do nothing, it is the Father within me.
He doeth the work.”
Then that one person, God through that one person, can plant a seed,
can start a new movement that will gradually grow and change an entire
nation and a mindset of an entire nation. Yet I must tell you that unless
more people pick up and create a movement that is sustainable, well
then the change will not last.
For surely, if you look at the history of my life and the history of
Ireland, you will see, that yes Ireland was changed by my presence,
Ireland became a Christian nation, but surely you will see – given
the open-minded people that you are – that after just a century
or so, Ireland started going the way of the rest of Europe, where the
Catholic Church became increasingly rigid and focused on outer doctrines
and rituals, and started burning as heretics anyone who dared to speak
the Living Word of God.
For my Beloved, I can assure you that I did not convert the closed-minded
people of Ireland by speaking the dead word and reading from a scripture.
I spoke the Living Word, for I let the River of Life flow through me,
so that that river could speak what the people at that time needed to
hear. And so my Beloved, what happened was that those who were in the
serpentine consciousness, those who opposed me openly as the Kings and
the Druids and their priests, they reincarnated as the Catholic priests
and Bishops who then took power in the Church in Ireland and then quickly
followed along with those in the Catholic Church throughout Europe,
who shut down the Living Word and shut down those who dared to speak
or write the Living Word as did so many, even some of the early Church
fathers, such as Origen.
And my Beloved you can see this if you care to look at history, how
what they were after was to shut down the Living Word, so that all that
could be preached from the Catholic pulpits was the controlled Word,
the dead word, that would not ignite the heart flame of the people so
that they would wake up and become the Christ in action—after
those that had inspired them by demonstrating Christhood.
The eternal plot of the power elite
Do you see, my Beloved, that this is their eternal plot? They would
prefer that no human being on Earth ever dared to express any kind of
Christhood, but they know that realistically they cannot prevent this,
for once in a while there will be one who dares to speak out and demonstrate
that Christhood. And so although they do all manner of things to keep
the population down, they know that once in a while there will be the
rare few that will defy them and the programming of the mass mind. And
so that is why – when that happens – what do they do?
Well, as soon as that person has passed from the screen of life, they
start idolizing that person, putting him up on a pedestal so that none
dare follow the example. And so that even though one person had demonstrated
Christhood, it will not become a trickle that will spread through others,
eventually becoming a powerful waterfall that sweeps away and wears
away the rock of those who have the consciousness that is not the rock
of Christ, but the immovable rock of the serpentine mind.
And so they did this with me, when it became apparent that they could
not prevent the people of Ireland from revering me as someone who had
inspired their country. Well they turned me into a saint, and not only
that, a good Catholic saint who follows all the rules and directions
of that Church for what a saint should be like. For my Beloved, once
I was out of embodiment, I could not well challenge them, could I? So
they could do with me whatever they wanted, as they have done with Christ
whatever they wanted.
And so my Beloved, I can assure you that while I was in embodiment,
I was following the inner guidance of my Higher Being, of my Lord Christ,
of my Christ Self. I was flowing with the River of Life, letting the
Holy Spirit flow through me. And I can assure you that what I preached
was not “good Catholic doctrine” as it is seen today or
as it was seen back then by those who had attained powerful positions,
such as the Bishop who presided over me until I obtained independence
through the grace of God and the enlightenment of one Pope who was not
in the serpentine mind.
And so, my Beloved, it is even a misunderstanding to say that St. Patrick
was the one that not only brought Christianity but brought Catholicism
to Ireland, for what I truly preached was a teaching that was far more
universal than what has ever been preached by the mainstream Catholic
Church. For I am sure you realize that in those days, communication
was much more slow and much more primitive. So it was not possible to
have an Internet broadcast of my sermons given in the mountains, so
that the Pope in Rome could have some censor sit there and say, “Ah!
That Patrick guy up in Ireland said something wrong! We have to reign
him in!”
My Beloved I am sure you realize that had this been possible then, that
is exactly what they would have done. And before long they would have
had somebody come in on the airplane and put me in my place, as the
Bishop in England tried to do several times.
For you see my Beloved, I was surely up against those in the serpentine
mind in the Kings and the Priests of the pagan religion, but I was also
up against those in the serpentine mind in the Catholic Church itself,
for they were surely there from the very beginning of the formation
of that Church, as indeed Constantine himself was a primary example
of a person who is completely identified with the serpentine mind.
Thou shalt not surely live
Yes, my Beloved, what did that mind say to Eve? Though shalt not surely
die. But I must tell you that when you dip into the duality consciousness,
though shalt not surely live either, for there is no life in that consciousness,
there is no spiritual life. And my Beloved, I was a true universal Christian
and I was that way because at the time, the Catholic Church had not
totally calcified. And I had the hope that it would indeed not go down
but would go up and become more universal, the true universal Church.
Many of us back then saw the Church that way, we saw the hope, the promise,
that it would remain Christ's Church. Surely, I saw the danger signs.
But it was, as I said, too early to totally say that the Church was
beyond the point of no return. And so it was my hope that the Spirit
itself would transform the Church and those in it, as it had transformed
myself and those to whom I preached. For as I said, I was not into the
politicking of the Church, I was but a humble preacher.
And yet my Beloved I must tell you, that in retrospect, I realize that
that in itself was also a certain weakness, as you might say. I do not
look back at my lifetime with regret, for I realize that it was not
my divine plan in that lifetime to go into Church politics. It was indeed
my divine plan to preach the Living Word, yet I must tell you that if
I had been more attentive, I could have set forth a better example,
a better organizational structure, for the Church in Ireland that might
have kept it from going rigid so soon.
And therefore I tell you, anyone in a spiritual movement must be aware
that when you are in this physical octave, you are constantly dealing
with the serpentine mind. And when you start a new spiritual initiative,
a new spiritual movement, that serpentine mind will seek an inroad in
whatever way it can into your movement. And if you are not alert, and
not aware, as Eve was not aware, it is all too easy to gradually slide
down the slippery slope where you are not surely dead, but where you
are not surely alive and connected to your Christ Self either.
You are thinking that because you are doing the outer things that you
have been doing for a long time, and that have been prescribed by your
religion, you are still on the right track. But you do not realize the
subtleties that the things that you did yesterday have fulfilled their
purpose, have come to the end of their cycle. And thus, the only way
to keep the upward momentum of your own growth and the growth of your
movement is to transcend the level of yesterday or a year ago.
For my Beloved, has the Great Divine Director not said that his motto
is, “Change is the order of the day.” Change meaning growth.
But I must tell you that sometimes any change is better than still-stand.
For when there is change, there is at least the opportunity that people
with re-consider their approach to life, their World view. But as long
as things remain stuck in the mud, stuck on the treadmill of doing the
same thing – yet expecting different results – well, then
who will rethink the approach when they think everything is going perfectly
and that they are on the right track to salvation, however they define
it.
Can the Catholic Church ever be renewed?
This my Beloved is what some of you have witnessed in a church that
is much younger than the Catholic church. And so by seeing how –
within a few decades – things can slide unknowingly into the rigidity
and subtlety, the fogginess of the serpentine mind, where people confirm
their own illusions that they are doing the right thing. And so with
this in mind, you might then look at the Catholic Church and say, “How
can an organization that has been rigid for so long, ever be renewed?”
And I tell you, it is a topic that is on the discussion board by the
Ascended Host—whether it is possible at all to renew the Catholic
Church.
I must tell you that on one hand we are always willing to let the Holy
Spirit flow through individuals who are willing to be the open door,
and certainly there are Catholic ministers who are willing to be the
open door for the Holy Spirit, at least to some capacity. And they receive
the anointing for which they are worthy, that they are able to bear.
But I can also tell you that what is going on right now is only a trickle
of what it needs to be if the entire organization is ever to be transformed.
And I must tell you, in all honesty, that we do not see how this can
happen with the present Pope still in office. For is he not a good example
of the kind of people I was up against, when I wanted to follow my inner
direction, my clear spiritual direction to preach the Living Word, and
yet they first had to make sure they could control me before they were
willing to send me to witness to Christ?
Yes my Beloved, those who are stuck on doctrine and the letter of the
Word will always feel threatened by those who have the vision, the fire
of the heart, the joy, the enthusiasm—who are on fire for God.
For my Beloved, those who are stuck on the outer word do not have the
fire. They either never had it or it has gone out, because now they
have become attached to the conditions they have believed, they have
accepted in their minds, as Mother
Mary spoke about. They have accepted a set of conditions, defined
by their religion, that says that as long as you stay within this mental
box, this physical box, you are sure to be saved because God simply
has to let you into his Kingdom because you are such a good Catholic.
Ah what folly is this, my Beloved! How long can the people on this Earth,
how long can they believe in this lie? Can they not look at the life
of Christ and then look at the Bishops and the Pope and the Cardinals
in their elaborate Catholic Cathedrals, swinging around their incense
and their cups of gold, can they not look at that and say, this is not
how Christ preached, this is not how St. Patrick walked about in the
hills of Ireland—dressed up in ornate rainments and swinging the
incense before him? My Beloved, can you see that throughout the ages,
those who have had the flow of the Spirit have not needed or wanted
all the outer appearances?
Do you see this my Beloved? When you have the flow of the Spirit, you
need none of this. You do not need to build yourself up with outer appearances
of this or that kind. You can stand anywhere. And you can let that Spirit
flow, for those who know in their hearts will recognize that Spirit
even if it comes in a humble disguise. And those who do not recognize
it from within are beyond your reach anyway.
The test of overcoming all expectations
You see, my Beloved, there is a teaching I would give you that relates
to what I started talking about, of my feeling somewhat depressed over
the lack of response. And I must tell you that this came from my own
conditions, from my own expectations, where my spiritual vision of going
to Ireland had been used in subtle ways by my ego to create the expectation
of certain outer results, of seeing a physical manifestation of many
people converted. Even a subtle sense that I could see the results from
my labor, not that I had a desire to be elevated, but I had a desire
to see that my labor had borne fruit, that I had made a difference.
And so this, my Beloved, is something that all Saints and spiritual
people have struggled with and must struggle with. For the spiritual
path, as we have said, is not an outer path, so in a sense why would
you expect outer results? Yet I realize full well – for I have
gone through it myself – that there is a point on the path where
you need to see some result of your action in order to keep going. And
therefore at the lower levels of the path, you do need to see that you
are making a difference, by seeing outer differences, outer results.
But I tell you, as you walk the path – especially when you come
closer to Christhood – that there will come an essential initiation,
where you will need to let go of all your expectations, all of your
conditions of wanting to see a certain outer result. For if you do not,
you cannot manifest your Christhood.
For the Christ is completely non-attached to what response he gets from
the people on Earth, for his is not here to awaken them. He is here
to let his light so shine before men that they have the opportunity
to see that there is an alternative to the serpentine, human state of
consciousness. But the Christ knows that he is not here to chose for
them, but to give them the opportunity to chose, which they did not
have when they had only seen people who talked religion based on the
serpentine mind.
And so my Beloved, if you think back to your own experience of walking
that mountain yesterday, you will see that you might have a certain
vision, a certain expectation, of what might happen at the top. Certain
things you would like to see, certainly a little ray of sunshine and
a lot less rain, or perhaps other expectations. But I must tell you
that those who are the true overcomers on the spiritual path –
those who win their ascension, those who fulfill their divine plans
– are those who are willing to take a look at such expectations
and say, “I am not here to fulfill these outer expectations and
conditions. For I am only here to let my light shine.”
You see, my Beloved, when you have expectations, especially when you
have expectations of how other people should respond to you speaking
the Word, well then you set yourself up in a dualistic situation where
your inner fulfillment and peace depends on something outside yourself,
depends on other people who have free will. And it is predictable, is
it not, that there will be some people to whom you preach the Living
Word, who will use their free will to refuse to rise above the serpentine
consciousness. And thus, they will refuse to go along with you and,
my Beloved.
When they reject the opportunity to come up higher, what must they do?
Well, their egos must justify this rejection, and how do they do this?
By criticizing you, by putting you down, by putting your teaching down,
by finding slick serpentine ways to cast doubt on the validity on your
teaching, the purity of your motive or any other thing they can think
of.
So you need to recognize, my Beloved, as you have talked about today,
that some of you realize that you are reluctant to stand up and let
your light shine. And surely, we who have ascended all understand this,
because we have gone through it. But I tell you, we went through it
precisely because we came to the point where we recognized that we were
not here to please or even awaken other people. We were here to let
our light shine. And that was our job. That was our job number one,
as they say. And it was the only job.
So you see, when you make that shift – and it is a fundamental
shift in consciousness – your inner fulfillment does not depend
on anything outside yourself. And it is only then that the prince of
this world will have nothing in you, whereby he can discourage or scare
you into not sharing your light at all. Or whereby he can play on your
pride and get you to feel that surely you must be pleasing to God because
you have preached to all these people and done this or that to promote
this or that teaching.
Do you see my Beloved, there is always the two dualistic polarities
of fear and pride, the inferiority/superiority complex. For one cannot
exist without the other, but YOU can exist without both of them—when
the Conscious Self recognizes that is is more than this dualistic personality
and identity. And thus, you are willing to let it die, as Mother Mary
said. You realize that surrendering this dualistic personality is not
a loss but a gain.
And my Beloved, this is what happened to me that day, when I sat at
that creek. I finally saw the folly of my attachment to outer results.
For my Beloved, why did I start my mission in Ireland? Because I had
a divine vision, an inner spiritual vision. And so what was the folly
of thinking that I could only continue following that vision if I have
certain outer manifestations. No, I needed to be true to the inner vision,
to be non-attached to the outer. And when I had that non-attachment,
I can assure you that I had further visions, and I felt a much greater
inner fulfillment than I could ever have felt, even if the entire country
of Ireland and been converted by me personally.
Find the true bliss beyond dualistic expectations
Do you see my Beloved, as Jesus talked about at the last retreat, there
are these
dualistic roles in the play that you can play. But as long as you
go into a dualistic role, surely you can experience joy, but it is the
joy that is in a polarity with sorrow. But beyond it is the bliss of
God. And that is what you can experience when you let go of those expectations.
So my Beloved, if you truly want to be the saints of the Aquarian Age,
the forerunners of the Aquarian Age, look at your expectations, look
at your attachments, be willing to let go of them and say, “I
am not following the spiritual path, I am not promoting a spiritual
teaching, I am not speaking the Word in order to see a particular outer
result. I am simply speaking the Word because it gives me the unconditional
Joy of God to feel that Word flowing through me. What else could I possibly
need than that? Why do I need some human beings pampering my ego, telling
me I am special, I am doing a wonderful job, when I know from within
that I am being who I was created to be, and I feel the infinite joy
of the flow of the River of Life through me. “
You see, my Beloved, when you are in the darkness, a little flashlight
can seem like a great comfort. But when the sun is high in the sky,
do you sit there staring at the flashlight, or do you look up at the
sun? For truly, my Beloved, there are many people on Earth who do follow
the lesser light of the moon, even when the sun has risen. But those
who are the saints, those who are the overcomers, those who have ascended,
are those who look for the sun within themselves, who see that Sun of
the I AM Presence, and who follow it, never again looking back to the
moon. You might have needed the moon at some point, but when you connect
to who you really are, you no longer need it, and you can let it drop
away from you and never again have expectations or desires that human
beings should treat you a certain way.
What does it matter to you, my Beloved? Why would those who have the
Spirit of God ever need approval of those who are in the serpentine
consciousness? Be they among the people, be they in Church leadership,
be they in the governments, be they in the media, be they among the
rich or the powerful and the high and the mighty, why do you need it?
Why do you think Christ stood in the hills and preached to the common
people? Why do you think that I did the same most of the time? It was
indeed because we realized that that is where you find those who are
open-minded, those who are the meek who shall inherit the Earth.
And my Beloved, when you look back at history, look at those who are
the high and the powerful. Look at the empires they have built of various
kinds. Well my Beloved, have they not all crumbled? And so can you not
look at the empires that you have today and say, “They too will
crumble, for the ever-moving flow of the River of Life will wear them
away, will smoothen them out, for the high shall be made low by the
passage of time.”
And so the meek shall inherit the Earth, the meek being those who are
willing to go beyond the dualistic games of playing either Lord or follower,
Master or slave. But indeed, being the independent ones who say, “I
do not need to control other people, nor do I need someone to control
me and tell me what to do. For I am willing to take responsibility for
my own path, and make my own choices.”
This is the difference between those who have overcome and those who
are still in the dualistic state, where they suffer and have joy and
suffer and have joy, and suffer and have joy in an endless cycle—that
will not end until you make the decision that “Enough is enough!”
and you will no longer play the game.
We all had our challenges
My Beloved, one more note on idolatry: I did have a spiritual vision,
but I can assure you that when I came to this island and felt the mass
consciousness literally seeking to push me into the sea, I had my moments
where I was wondering if this was indeed possible. And I only overcame
it by being willing to surrender the expectations, and I only surrendered
those expectations by making the decision to let it go. The decision
that I am not the doer, for it is God within me who is the doer.
I tell you this because I want you to realize that even for the most
spiritually mature people, such as Jesus himself, there are indeed times
when your vision is clouded because as yesterday, when you were ascending
that mountain, you were literally walking in a dense cloud and you can
see only a few yards ahead. And there are times on the path for anyone,
where all you can do is to lean forward against the wind, bend the head
and determine to keep putting one foot in front of the other until you
pass through that cloud and the weather clears.
My Beloved, so many people look back at Jesus’ life, at my life,
at Mother Mary's life and say, “Oh it must have been easy for
them, they never had any doubts, they never had any problems, they never
encountered any difficulties.”
But we all did, you see. And so why did we make it? Was it because we
were special? Yes indeed, we were special. Was it because we were stronger?
Yes indeed we were stronger. Why were we special, why were we stronger?
Because we decided to take one more step than the person who gave up.
You see, my Beloved, how do you win the race? By always taking one more
step than you think is possible or necessary.
For I tell you, truly, as long as there is that doubt in your own being,
the forces of this world will pound on you relentlessly as the winds
yesterday showed no signs of stopping, no compassion whatsoever. And
so the only way to make it through, is to not let it bother you because
you are not attached. You do not have an expectation that it should
be easy. I must tell you that so many sincere well-meaning spiritual
people have been awakened to the spiritual path, have started doing
some outer work, but they have had an expectation that if they were
willing to sacrifice themselves, to sacrifice a part of their life in
order to promote the spiritual teachings, well then somehow God would
make it easy for them.
This is something all of you have seen if you will be honest, in yourself
and in others. Certainly, these two messengers have seen it in their
own lives. And yet they were willing to re-asses their expectations,
realize their expectations were not realistic, and then keep following
their vision, their inner vision, and just sharing their light and their
teachings they have received, no matter what the outer response was.
And this is how you will win, this is how you will overcome.
For then you come to that point where there is no resistance in you,
so the wind can blow right through you. And then you can move as if
there was no wind of the mass consciousness. You see what I am saying,
my Beloved? They Holy Spirit is a mighty wind. And yes, the Holy Spirit
is stronger than any wind on Earth. So theoretically, if you have a
sufficient flow of the Holy Spirit, you can resist any of the forces
on Earth.
But do you see that in this Aquarian age we are calling you to come
up higher, to go beyond the dualistic game and say, “We will not
seek to gain the Holy Spirit in order to push against the false spirits,
and impress them with some trickery or some outer physical manifestation.
We will instead seek the even higher spirit, the Spirit that is beyond
duality that does not push against the forces of this world.”
It simply blows right through them, reaching those who are open-minded
and have open hearts to the true non-dualistic universal, timeless,
eternal, triumphant teachings of Christ that are being brought forth
in this age, and shall continue to be brought forth throughout the Aquarian
Age as long as there are hearts who are open and mouths who are willing
to speak the Living Word, which is truly the only way that the teachings
of Christ can be brought forth in their pure form.
For my Beloved, you can go back and read these words in a book, but
will you get the same flow in the voice that is speaking? And as this
messenger said earlier about the dictation given on the mountain yesterday,*
if anyone thinks that a human being can have that power, well they do
not understand the Spirit. For surely there is a flow of the Spirit,
and there could be an even greater flow of the Spirit, and might be
in the future, if it is necessary.
But I tell you, my Beloved, we are not out to produce an impressing
display in front of 50 000 people, where we have people fall over and
jump out of wheel chairs. For that is not our aim with this movement.
Our aim is to awaken those who do not need these outer manifestations.
Because, as I said yesterday, they know what is true in their hearts.
Our vision for this movement
And so my Beloved, what is it we desire to see for this new movement.
Well, we do not desire to see two people who have the flow of the Spirit.
We desire to see many who have the flow of the Spirit in various forms
and capacities. And so my Beloved, the same God that is in me is in
you. The same God that was in Christ Jesus when he walked the Earth
is in you right now at this moment. The difference is that Jesus was
willing to say, “Not my will but thine be done. I and my Father
are one so my Father can do whatever he wants to do through me. And
whatever words I receive from my Father, I will speak them to the people.”
Jesus was willing to let the God in him out of the box. When you become
willing to do the same thing, surely that God will work through you,
according to your divine plan. So the question is, again, when will
you be willing to do this? When will you be willing to let go of your
expectations and your conditions? For you see, my Beloved, those expectations
and conditions have exactly the effect of preventing God from working
through you, for God will not violate your free will.
So if you have an expectation that the Holy Spirit should flow only
in certain ways, well then the Holy Spirit will not flow through you.
It simply cannot be, for in the Aquarian Age, the Holy Spirit will only
flow through those who are in the River of Life, the river of self-transcendence,
and who are willing to demonstrate that river by being willing to transcend
themselves on a daily basis, never saying “This cannot be done,”
never saying “This should be such and such.”
So you see my Beloved, do not be disturbed by anything, do not be disturbed
by a sudden noise, do not be disturbed by other people’s reactions
and their thoughts. Being who you are is the absolute requirement for
making your ascension. You cannot enter the kingdom of God permanently
until you have demonstrated that you are willing to be the Christ in
front of the world and the condemnation of the world. For only in being
willing to demonstrate that, to endure the scorn and the ridicule and
the persecution of the world, can you truly demonstrate to yourself
my Beloved that you have attained total non-attachment to the things
of this world.
For you see, my Beloved, the ultimate test is to let those who are the
scornful do and say whatever they want to say, and just turn the other
cheek. For when you feel in your Being that no matter what they send
at you, it will not touch that infinite peace in your heart, well then
you know that you have overcome your expectations, your attachments,
your conditions.
And that is when you can then fulfill the final requirement for the
ascension. Which is that you are willing to turn away from this world,
to face the gate to the spiritual world and take that final step that
brings you through that gate forever, so that you permanently leave
the Earth behind. And this, my Beloved, is sometimes the most difficult
test. And I can assure you that even for Jesus and myself this was a
difficult test, for we still had a desire to see our work come to fruition
and benefit other people.
But in the end, we had to be willing to say that if nothing visible
had come out of our efforts on this Earth, we were still willing to
leave the Earth behind. For if we had not been willing to do this my
Beloved, what would have happened? Well, we would have had to come back
into embodiment, would we not? Until we came to the point where we felt
we could let go of the expectations and the conditions and walk that
final step that permanently raised us above this world, regardless of
the conditions in this world.
And so my Beloved, I thank you for enduring with me during this long
discourse, but I wanted to give you a feel for my true Being. And so
I deemed it more comfortable for you that I did not do that on the mountain
yesterday, and surely this messenger appreciates my concern.
Thus my Beloved, once again I seal you in the ascension coil of Patrick,
the Ascended Master. I give you a portion of my Peace, the peace that
I found inside myself, the peace that helped me become non-attached
to the serpents of this world, therefore rising above them as if they
had never existed.
Thus, I say to you, “BE in the Peace of the Ascended Master Patrick.”
Thus, it is done!
