The
future of the planet depends on your willingness to BE
A dictation by Saint Germain. This dictation was delivered
on May 19, 2007 during the Shangra-la Ascension conference in Ireland.
I am Saint Germain, and as many of you know, I was the driving force
behind the Shakespearean plays—although truth be told I did not
write them all personally. For my beloved, you will know that we did
not have computers in those days and had to write everything by hand,
which indeed was a very time-consuming and arduous task.
So my beloved, what was my driving motivation behind those plays? Well,
it was indeed the restoration of the WORD in Europe—a process
that has been going on for a very long time, not only in building up
the English language to make it more akin to the angelic tongue and
the expression of spiritual concepts, but also in giving forth key ideas
and thoughts that have been a part of the world's mindset and the European
mindset now for centuries—and have indeed been like seeds that
have borne fruit and have caused many people to expand their consciousness.
So in line with your discussion of Being, what is indeed the most famous
statement from the Shakespearean plays—well is it not, my beloved,
"To Be or Not To Be?” And was it not in a European setting
that I brought forth that eternal, timeless, universal question? And
although the line certainly applies to all people around the world,
I must tell you that it was not a coincidence that it was brought into
the physical in Europe. For truly, I must tell you the reality that
the balance of the future of this planet does indeed very much depend
on the European people and their willingness to answer that question
in the affirmative and Be who they truly are in God.
Why is this so, my beloved? Well, it is so because Europe is unique
in the sense that there are so many different people here, from so many
different backgrounds—not just physically but also spiritually.
And so, the question is: can these different people find a way to be
themselves. For if they can be themselves, they can also let other people
be themselves. And in doing so, we can indeed rise above the duality
consciousness.
The forces of anti-Being in Europe
And that is indeed why, my beloved, I must tell you that this continent
has for a very, very long time – at least for as long as there
has been anything resembling civilization here – well it has been
under attack by the forces of darkness, the forces of anti-Being, who
are doing everything they can think of to prevent the people of Europe
from rising up and Being who they are in God, instead of following the
mechanized concept – the mechanized consciousness of the fallen
ones – who do not want anyone on Earth to express their God-given
individuality and their God flames but want everyone to follow the party
line, to fit the mold of the passive people who are willing to play
the roles of being the slaves of the elite, being owned by the elite,
having to live on their land and work their land while the elite sit
in their elaborate castles being completely oblivious to the suffering
of the people.
Or for that matter sit in their elaborate cathedrals and monasteries,
again being oblivious to the people that they were meant to serve and
whom they claim to serve in the name of Christ, but in reality they
have none of the true compassion of the Christ or they would certainly
have been feeding the sheep of Christ rather than gathering to themselves
riches that allowed them to live in luxury and build elaborate cathedrals
that were not truly houses of worship, not truly to glorify God, but
to promote and reinforce their own authority—that they were the
true intermediaries between the people and their God.
So my beloved, this is indeed—as I spoke about last night—what
you have seen on the continent of Europe more than you have seen in
most other parts of the world. In that there has always been an elite
who either for religious or secular reasons have set themselves up as
being the authority, the rulers of the people. And thereby, they have
indeed prevented the people from Being. In fact one might say that in
order to set themselves up as having power over people, well the first
requirement is that they must prevent the people from Being.
And thus, you will not find a place on this Earth where the consciousness
of anti-Being is as strong as it is here in Europe. And thus, my beloved,
I am indeed pleased with your discussion where you from various angles
have approached an understanding of how you who have grown up in Europe
have been exposed to this force of anti-Being.
And I must tell you that I have high hopes that those of you who are
spiritually open will indeed continue to expand your understanding,
to look at your own personal life, to look at your nations, even to
look at your continent and see how the forces of anti-Being have set
up these many, many subtle ways – subtle traditions, subtle illusions
– that prevent the people from Being. And I have a certain hope
that you will come to the point where you are willing to stand out and
Be who you are and let your light shine. And even be willing to be the
open door for the Living Word, that will surely say through you, "The
emperor has nothing on."
For my beloved, I must tell you that Hans Christian Andersen was to
some degree inspired by me when he brought forth that wonderful story
of the emperor's new clothes. And so, my beloved, truly you have seen
the emperors and the kings and the cardinals and the bishops and the
popes of Europe—and they had nothing on. Truly, they had not on
the wedding garment of the Christ consciousness that is the only true
authority that should be recognized on this planet. And therefore, once
again, we look to those who have awareness to stand up to the power
elite.
The forces of religion and anti-religion
But, as has been explained now many times, especially in the latter
part of Maitreya's
book, we look to you not to fight the elite, not to enter into a
dualistic struggle with the elite, but to Be who you are, so that the
people can see that there is an alternative to the dualistic struggle
and the dualistic consciousness. For my beloved, have we not seen enough
dualistic struggles on this continent? Do we need to perpetuate this
anymore? I think not, my beloved, because I think you are as tired of
it as am I.
And therefore, you in physical embodiment are the ones who can do something
about it, for certainly I can and will work with those who are willing
to open their hearts and be the open doors for the message of freedom
that I long to bring forth in this age—and which I long to bring
forth certainly on this continent. For there is indeed a great potential
that the continent of Europe can experience a new Renaissance that is
at a higher level than the previous Renaissance, for it will be a spiritual
rather than a material Renaissance. It will be a Renaissance where the
people of Europe realize that after being oppressed by religion for
centuries, they have now been – for other centuries – in
the opposite extreme of being oppressed by the forces of anti-religion.
Yet both the forces of religion and the forces of anti-religion were
part of the dualistic struggle. And thus, it is time to go beyond both
of these dualistic forces. Which means that you can now experience a
spiritual Renaissance, where you realize that you can rise above tyrannical,
dogmatic, rigid, closed-minded religion without abandoning all spirituality.
And this is the greatest potential for Europe—to go through an
awakening that will allow it to once again be the open door for bringing
forth of new ideas that can turn the world on its head, so to speak,
and bring forth a new awareness that can set the stage for a Golden
Age.
My beloved, there are indeed other parts of the world that have that
potential. Even the United States has that potential. And I say even
the United States because the United States, although having a great
freedom flame, has still not overcome the black-and-white thinking that
you see outpictured in the current government. And that government could
exist – could have been elected and could continue to exist
– only because the people themselves, as I have said before, have
not risen above that black-and-white thinking, where they will no longer
allow their government to do this.
For I must tell you, my beloved, that there is indeed a certain reluctance
on the part of the American people to stand up to their own government.
And although we see this in Europe as well, I can tell you that there
is in Europe a greater awareness that black-and-white thinking is utterly
outdated. And although many Europeans are still somewhat blinded by
the gray thinking, there is a potential that many can be awakened and
realize that this continent has experienced both extremes—the
black-and-white thinking of the Catholic church, the gray thinking that
is the result of scientific materialism and socialism and other ideologies
that have swept through this continent. And therefore there is a potential
that Europe can say, "Enough of the dualities, enough of the extremes!
Let us reach for something beyond."
And if people can be awakened to realize that that something beyond
must come from the spiritual rather than the physical realm –
and must come not through a rigid spiritual scripture or an interpretation
of that scripture, but must come from the Living Word – well then,
indeed, an awakening can take place.
Overcome your resistance to the Living Word in you
And so, my beloved, what I ask you who are open to hearing this message
to do is to be willing to be the forerunners for this change in consciousness.
And as always, in order to be the forerunners, you must start with yourself.
You must start by looking in the mirror and seeing where in your consciousness
you are resisting the Living Word. For what will the Living Word do,
my beloved? Well, it will expose and challenge all elements of unreality
in your being. And so, many of you are already there—where you
are willing to look at anything in your being. But I simply ask you
to become more aware of this, to become more aware of where you resist,
where you resist change, where you resist growth, where you resist the
flow of following the inner direction.
And you might very well start by contemplating what you already realize—that
many of you have a certain reluctance to standing out from the crowd,
of standing up in front of the crowd and speaking that Living Word.
For certainly, my beloved, how can you become instruments of the Living
Word unless you overcome that resistance that you feel, sometimes so
subconsciously that you do not notice it, but where you many times know
in your heart that you had a higher understanding of an issue but you
do not speak out for various reasons, be it that you do not want to
offend or that you do not want to be persecuted or rejected.
My beloved, for many of you acceptance is an issue. But you need to
contemplate where do you want to be accepted. Do you want to be accepted
on Earth, or do you want to be accepted in heaven? For I must tell you
that you cannot serve both God and mammon, as Jesus said it. You cannot
be accepted and popular on Earth while at the same time fulfilling your
divine plan and thereby becoming accepted in heaven.
This is not to say that we who are your spiritual teachers do not accept
you unless you do what we want you to do. For we do accept you unconditionally,
my beloved. But it is not our acceptance that you need in order to enter
heaven. It is your own acceptance, where you bring your outer being
into alignment and harmony with your higher being and your divine plan
so that you do not have divisions in yourself. And it is precisely because
of those divisions that you feel you need acceptance and recognition
from the world. And when you overcome that division, you don't need
acceptance or recognition from the outer world.
And that is when you can stand up, come what may, and not be moved by
other people's rejection of you or the Word coming through you. You
will simply continue to let your light shine, to speak that Word, because
you know, as the Buddha realized when he was tempted by the tempter
not to come back and give his message of salvation, he knew that some
would understand. And I can assure you that when you dare to speak out,
some will understand.
Dare to start somewhere
My beloved, look at the AskRealJesus website. Look at how many people
in the world have no idea that it even exists, and many people in the
world cannot accept the teachings of it. Well, my beloved, this messenger
could have said, "What is the point? Nobody will be willing to
understand it." For he was indeed rejected by many in the world,
even rejected by many of those who claimed to be, and still claim to
be, ascended master students—even though they are not willing
to recognize that the ascended masters are bringing forth the Living
Word through another messenger. And so he could have said, "What
is the point? Even the ascended master students will not accept this,
so why bother?" But yet he also knew that some would understand.
And you are the living proof of it. Because you have been willing to
inconvenience yourself to come to a conference like this.
And so based on this you should be able to see that when you individually
speak out in your countries, some will indeed understand, my beloved.
And maybe you will not experience it right away, but I assure you, there
will come a point where you will look back and say, "Surely, some
did understand, and my willingness to speak out did help other people."
And therefore, you can feel the joy and the gratitude that your work
and your labor has borne fruit.
And you should therefore be willing to say, "I am ready to endure
a period of rejection if that is what is necessary, because I know that
eventually some will understand." Not in the sense that you necessarily
need this—you do not need the acceptance of other people, you
do not need to be pampered. But I am realistic, and I know that we all
want to see a result of our labors. We all want to feel that we have
helped someone and that therefore it has made a difference. For surely,
I recognize that in order to become the mouthpiece of the Living Word
you have to make some sacrifice and that will make a big difference
in your life.
And so I simply want to impart to you that when you make yourself willing
to flow with the Spirit, with the River of Life, to work on your divine
plan, there will come a point ,my beloved, where you will sense the
reward. And you will know that it was indeed worth it, even if you only
helped one person, where I assure you that many more can be helped by
all of you.
And so, my beloved, be not discouraged by the forces of anti-Being who
will do anything they can to prevent you from ever opening your mouth.
Be willing to take the first step and then to continue to take small
steps. For my beloved, you will know very well that when a car is standing
still, it takes a greater effort and momentum from the engine to get
it started. But once it starts rolling, you can go in a higher gear
and you expend less gasoline and less energy to keep the car rolling.
So do you not see, my beloved, that the forces of anti-Being know this?
And therefore they know that it is far easier to stop you right at the
beginning than after you have built a momentum. And so, knowing this,
you will then be able to see that you must be able to prepare yourself
mentally, emotionally, to withstand that initial rejection and opposition
and to be willing to speak regardless of the reaction or lack of reaction.
You must be willing to simply BE who you are, my beloved. For what does
it mean to be who you are? Well, it means to let your light shine independently
of the reaction from the world.
For I must tell you that many of you descended to this planet specifically
to be part of the mission of the Ascended Host to raise this planet
up. And so the reason why you have forgotten or left off that mission
and descended into the duality consciousness is that you have fallen
prey to the illusion that because the world does not want to be disturbed
by your light, you should turn down or withhold that light and the truth
and the Living Word. But my beloved, this is precisely the illusion
that all of us have faced in our embodiments on this planet. We have
all been up against that momentum of anti-Being that says, "You
are not allowed to be who you are on this planet" or "You
should not be who you are, for you should not disturb other people."
Be willing to give people an example to follow
And so my beloved, what we are attempting to impart to you is that you
should have absolute respect for the free will of others, but that when
people are blinded by the duality consciousness, they cannot exercise
their free will. And therefore, it is within the law of free will that
you disturb someone to the extent that you give them the opportunity
to choose reality over unreality, for now they have seen reality in
you, because you have let your light so shine before men that they can
see that that light is the light of God shining through you.
And therefore they know that it is possible for a human being in physical
embodiment to be the open door for the light of God, the wisdom of God,
the Power of God, the Love of God and all the other God qualities. And
in seeing this in you, they now have the opportunity to say, "Well
perhaps I too then could be the open door, if I was willing to make
myself the instrument as this other person has been." And before
they see that light in you, they do not have that choice. And so they
truly cannot exercise their free will.
And that is why you can see, my beloved, that while you should be non-attached
and have no expectations about their reactions, you should not go into
the opposite extreme of not doing anything. For you are not here to
force them to choose the light over the darkness, but you are here to
give them the choice that they do not have right now because they are
so beaten down by the forces of anti-Being who have suppressed this
continent for so long.
And as you heard this afternoon, the people of Ireland have had their
spirit of Victory broken through this relentless suppression and oppression
by the forces of darkness and their representatives in embodiment. And
yet I must tell you that the shift of turning back to a positive outlook
on life is much closer than it might seem when you look at the continent
and when you look at this country.
My beloved, it is simply amazing how quickly a people can wake up and
become galvanized to a new outlook in life, a new hope, a new optimism.
It is only a matter of building that critical mass, for as you well
know from physics, there are many examples in nature where suddenly
a certain portion of the molecules of a gas come into alignment, and
then a shift occurs where all of the molecules now are in alignment.
And such can happen in a population, for each person is in a sense a
molecule in the body of God of that nation.
And so it is indeed possible, and you have for that matter seen this
in the history of this continent—where you saw in the Renaissance
how – suddenly – a shift occurred in many parts of Europe,
where now they were open to new ideas that brought forth new inventions,
new technology, new culture, new music, new plays. For my beloved, had
it not been for a shift in consciousness, how could I have brought out
the Shakespearean plays? How could we have brought out so many new discoveries
and inventions?
And so you see, this has happened many times before—when people
gave up the idea that the Earth was flat, when people gave up the idea
that the Earth was very small, that the universe is very small, when
they gave up the idea that they would go to hell if they did not follow
the dictate of the Catholic church.
And so many of these subtle shifts have occurred, my beloved. Even in
this last century you have seen many of these shifts. And you see it
on a continual basis. And this should give you hope that it is indeed
possible, you can see a shift into a more spiritual awareness, a more
universal spiritual awareness. And this, my beloved, is indeed what
will change things.
The potential for Ireland
And so, what is the potential here in Ireland? Well again, it is the
potential of that universal shift in consciousness, where the Irish
people realize that the reason why they responded to Patrick was that
they had an inherent spirituality. And although that spirituality has
been beaten down by the rigidity of the Catholic church and the many
onslaughts of physical forces and physical conquests, it is still there
at the core of their beings. And it is truly because they love God,
they love the plan of God for this Earth and for this nation.
And when you see this, you realize that Ireland is the Western-most
country in Europe. And as such, does it not to some degree hold the
same position as the region of the Middle East, where we have explained
the figure-eight flow between the Eastern and the Western hemisphere,
where the nexus is centered over the Middle East. Well, is there not
also a figure-eight flow between Europe and North America, and is not
Ireland located right at the nexus of that flow. So is it not possible,
indeed, that Ireland can awaken to fulfill its role of bridging that
gap between the Father-Mother flow of the Eastern and the Western hemisphere?
And so, my beloved, if that awakening occurs, then there will be a greater
integration. And I must surely say that the recent developments in Northern
Ireland, of a more unified approach to government, is an encouraging
sign. And similar things can happen on this island as a whole. For certainly,
my beloved, I do foresee a future of a reunited Ireland that is one
nation. For why should there be a division, whether it be based on religion
or politics? Surely this is nothing but the divide-and-conquer tactics
of the fallen ones, who used their influence in England – that
was already divided and conquered – in order to create the division
in Ireland where no division was necessary.
Overcoming division in Europe
And so, my beloved, this is what needs to happen in Europe in general—that
the European people realize that they have been artificially divided
by the duality consciousness, by the forces of anti-Being. And when
they rise up and allow themselves to be who they are, well then they
can allow their neighbors on this continent to be who they are. And
then they will suddenly realize that instead of being enemies –
instead of being so different that the differences can only cause conflict
– they are simply different facets, different expressions, of
the Being of God. And therefore, even though they are different in how
they outpicture that Being, their differences do not need to create
conflict.
And so, my beloved, there can be then a more perfect union that is not
a political union—not an economical union based on the belief
that we can make more money by uniting our economies. It is a more perfect
union because it is a spiritual union that rises above the outer quest
for power or the outer quest for mammon or comfortability in the materialistic
lifestyle that might be very pleasant but truly comes at the cost of
no spirituality and no purpose in life. So that people must continue
to indulge themselves in more and more and more possessions in order
to dull themselves to the inner prompting that their lives are meaningless.
And so, my beloved, this is my discourse for this night. Ponder the
forces of anti-Being. Ponder the need to see how those forces have affected
you personally and how you can rise above them. And dare to Be who you
truly are in God, thereby overcoming the impasse – the paralyzing
impasse – that caused prince Hamlet to lose his life, to lose
his opportunity to bring forth a new government in the country that
was his.
And so, again, do not let the opportunity pass you by. But dare to Be
who you are. And stop believing in the forces who tell you that you
have no right or no ability to Be. For I tell you, you DO have the right
to BE on this continent. For I, Saint Germain, give you that authority,
which is truly beyond any authority on Earth. But truly you should not
need anyone to give you that authority because you should know that
you have that authority by the very fact that you were created.
For truly, you are extensions of your Father's Being. You are out of
the God without whom nothing was made that was made. And, my beloved,
that truly includes you. So dare to recognize that the very fact that
you have awareness and being and consciousness demonstrates that you
have the right to Be. And start by Being More. You have the right to
Be More than you were brought up to think is possible or proper. And
then eventually, you can grow into the fullness of Being here below
all that you already ARE above.
You
have to start walking before you will know where you are going.
