The
middle way between optimism and pessimism
Strive
for the Middle Way
From Understanding
the elite and the counter-elite,
by Saint Germain, April 6, 2007
And so you see that, too many times in history, a nation has jumped
from the frying pan into the fire, from one extreme to the other. And
this is not what I desire to see for America in this age. So I must
ask you, beloved – those of you who are open to this Word –
I must ask you to discipline yourselves and to strive for the Middle
Way, the middle way between the two dualistic extremes—one that
all is well and that you can remain asleep, the other that all is bad
and things can only get worse.
My beloved, I desire the American people to be awakened. But I do not
desire them to be awakened through fear. I desire them to be awakened
through love—the love for something better than what is here today
instead of the fear of going to some fiery hell and therefore being
willing to give control to those who promise you that they can keep
you away from that hell—if you will only follow them blindly.
So I ask you to discipline yourselves. I know that many of the people
who are open to our word are so because you have overcome the delusion
that all is well. You have realized that things need to change and you
are willing to study alternative viewpoints that give you a different
perspective.
Yet many of you have not found the Middle Way. And you have become unbalanced
in the sense that you look for the doomsday prophets, the doomsday scenarios.
And you indulge in these things, almost to the point of enjoying how
bad things are, or how bad you think things are, and how – pretty
soon – the people will be awakened and you will emerge as the
wise ones who saw this coming ahead of time.
This is a tendency that we have seen even in students of the ascended
masters in previous organizations. And it is a tendency that it is time
for those of you who are open to our word now to grow out of. My beloved,
this world, this nation, is not going to hell in a handbasket—unless
you absolutely are hell-bent on seeing it go to hell. For as we have
tried to tell you, what you project into the cosmic mirror, the mirror
will reflect back to you. So what do you want? Do you want a nation
that goes from one extreme to the other? Or do you want a nation that
transcends the dualistic extremes and finds the Middle Way? Well, if
you want the latter then YOU must find the Middle Way.
For my beloved, if those who are open to the Living Word cannot find
the Middle Way, how can you expect the rest of the nation to find it?
And so, I ask you to let go of following these websites or email lists
or wherever you get this doomsday information. And, my beloved, let
me say this very clearly. I will admit that there are some of the doomsday
scenarios out there that may have some reality to them. I will admit
that there are conspiracy theories that have some reality to them. But
I must tell you that they have an overlay of negativity, of pulling
you down and pulling everyone else down with them, and if you have any
intention of being a student of the Ascended Host, then you cannot allow
anything in your life that pulls you down.
We are going up!
For we are not about going down—we are about going up! There is
only one direction for me and that is UP! And if you want to follow
me, you have to go up with me, because I will not stand still and wait
for you. I have a golden age to manifest on this planet. And I am about
my Father's business. So if you want to be a chela of Saint Germain,
follow me as I go up!
My beloved, God did not tell me that I had to be the hierarch
of the Aquarian age—I made a choice. And I made that choice not
out of pessimism, not out of thinking that this world was about to fall
apart. I made the choice because I saw the higher vision of the potential
of making that Golden Age a reality.
My beloved, the motto of all pessimists throughout the ages has been,
"I am not a pessimist, I am a realist." My beloved, there
is blind realism and there is the realism based on the vision of Christ.
Surely, there are optimists who are blind, but I am not among them.
And I do not want you to be among them. But neither do I want you to
be among the blind pessimists who think they are being realistic in
believing that things can only get worse.
My beloved, do you think Jesus would have come to this planet if he
thought there was no hope of turning it around? Nay! Why would we expose
ourselves to a hopeless cause? Why would we bind ourselves to a planet
that was doomed to go to hell? This planet is not doomed to go anywhere.
But it surely has the potential to go up, and to transcend all of the
old mental boxes that keep people trapped and keep them asleep.
