The best things in life are nearest: Breath in your
nostrils, light in your eyes, flowers at your feet,
duties at your hand, the path of right just before
you. Then do not grasp at the stars, but do life's
plain, common work as it comes, certain that daily
duties and daily bread are the sweetest things in
life.
- Robert Louis Stevenson
............................................................................................................................................................
Questioner: Im so tired of all the crap I have to put
up with in this world. Day after day its the same old
stuff (SOS). Corrupt leaders running a corrupt system.
The rest of us struggling to make ends meet. People
stuck in their limited little world. I cant wait for
the Earth Changes so we can get rid of the slime and
dirt. It will be a happy day when they all get wiped
out. Then we can take back our planet. Leah, Im tired
of waiting. When are we going to get this nightmare
over with?
Leah: Beloved, therein lies the problem. Take a look
at the energy behind your words. Can you not see that
the slime and dirt you speak of is lodged within
your own mind as well? Dear one, I am not meaning to
be harsh, but when I look at the energy behind your
intent, I see judgment, and it is judgment that is
destroying so much of what you hold dear. Although God
has promised to wipe away the tears from the face of
the Earth, He has also told you repeatedly to love
thy enemies and release all of your judgment. When you
can see the Divine in all things, you are truly ready
to inherit the Kingdom.
What does it really mean to see the perfection of God
in everything? Is this some sort of mental exercise or
wishful thinking? Hardly. Seeing perfection where
there appears to be chaos and confusion, seeing peace
where weapons of war are raised in anger, seeing
beauty where oil, blood and money are placed on the
altar of worship, requires a different state of
consciousness than the one asking the question.
Beloved, it all comes back to who and what you believe
you are. Are you still identifying with your physical
body and forgetting your spiritual nature? Okay, Leah
here is going back to basics, but we had better start
at square one if we are going to resolve this dilemma.
Can you see, beloved, that the problem is in your
consciousness? The world will not change as long as
you are angry at the powers that be. Your anger is
fueling the fire; it is giving them power. Is this
what you want?
Nobody said life on Earth was going to be easy during
the changes. A whole lot of false beliefs and denied
feelings are going to have to be exposed to the light
in order for true healing to take place. This is not a
pretty sight for most of you. The vast majority of you
have been stuck in denial for a very long time. Not
just denial of how far you have fallen in
consciousness, but denial of the magnificence that
exists beyond the drama of duality.
Most of you are afraid to FEEL the truth of WHO YOU
ARE. To do so requires that you let go of a lot of
cherished beliefs, including the belief that the
Illuminati, or the government, or the bankers, or the
reptilians, or the churches, or your parents, or some
other authority has caused your problems. It is your
core negative beliefs and errors of consciousness that
have created your misery and suffering. The outside
forces controlling your world are merely the result of
adhering to false beliefs and attitudes. A false
belief is any belief that denies the truth of who you
are.
The most important pursuit in life should be
discovering the truth about who you are. Go deep
within yourself and explore the vast reaches of your
consciousness. You are powerful creators, magnificent
beyond belief. We have said this many, many times.
When are you going to get it, beloveds? When are you
going to stop believing your suffering is the fault of
others or outside circumstances?
Love thy enemies is a powerful philosophy. It is not
about becoming a doormat and allowing yourself to be
stepped on. It is not about refusing to fight back at
injustice. It is about a state of mind. It is about a
point of view. It is about acknowledging that WHO YOU
ARE is far beyond attack and revenge. It is
acknowledging that WHO YOU ARE cannot be assailed,
cannot be hurt. It is seeing that underneath the harsh
exterior of your so-called enemy lies a child of
God, caught perhaps in illusions, but nevertheless
worthy of the same unconditionally loving light that
fills and surrounds your being.
Dear one, today it is time to let go of the judgment
and come to peace with what is happening in your
world. Yes, it is difficult. Yes, there is much sorrow
to be dealt with. Perhaps you will need to FEEL the
pain of your own disillusionment for a while. Perhaps
you will need to FEEL the pain of those who have lost
their way for a while. But do not linger there. Become
empty inside. Let the spirit of the Creator fill your
broken heart. Let the light of truth shine away the
dark fog in your mind. Let Gods limitless love
regenerate your tired soul.
Know that in a very short time, many souls will in
fact leave this world and reincarnate in a place
better suited to their level of consciousness. All
will be brought to Divine Justice. But it will not be
through punishment and judgment, but rather through
the fulfillment of Universal Law. Those who are in
fear will see a fearful world. Those who love life
will see love wherever they look. This is a simple
principle, one that has been stated often by countless
teachers and philosophers. What do you choose to see
today when you look at the world? Do you see awakening
or do you see corruption? Temporarily you will likely
see both, but you can change your mind and see
corruption as an illusion born of minds that have
forgotten their Source. It is your job to help them
remember their Source by emanating the love of God in
your own life. To do this you will need to learn to
love your enemies. Put away the weapons of revenge and
the sword of hate. Go back to basics today and find
the love that has never left you, not for one instant.
Begin close to home. Who have you closed your heart to
in your own family or circle of friends? No, lets go
even closer to home. Start with yourself. Where have
you been judging yourself? What parts of your soul
have been bereft of your love? What dark corners of
your mind need the light of truth today? Then work
your way outward. Start by forgiving and releasing
those around you that have angered you. Go into past
lives if you need to. Do not limit your forgiveness.
Spread it far and wide. Let go of the resentment, the
grievances, and the slights. None of them matter any
more. The only thing that matters is the healing of
your heart. Your healed heart will change the world.
Your liberated mind will unlock the chains. Your
bright light will shine away the darkness surrounding
the world.
Go into meditation today and forgive every one of your
enemies. They are not truly enemies; they have simply
forgotten their connection to Source, as you did when
you condemned them. Help them remember today by
remembering your own connection to Source. Then allow
the Presence within you to take right action.
In the light of the Radiant One, I am Leah.

VICTORY IS OURS! PART 1 of 2 By Patti Cota-Robles
http://1spirit.com/eraofpeace
Thank you Father-Mother God. Thank you Father-Mother God. Thank you
Father-Mother God.
On August 15th, the day celebrated in the outer world
as Beloved Mother Marys Ascension Day or Day of
Assumption, a Baptism of the Holy Spirit took place
that blessed every man, woman and child. This glorious
event occurred through the Divine Intervention of the
Feminine Aspects of our Mother God from Suns beyond
Suns: Beloved Vesta, the aspect of our Mother God from
our physical Sun; Beloved Omega from our Central Sun;
Beloved Eloha from our Great Central Sun; Beloved Ela
from our Great, Great Central Sun; and the Cosmic I
AM, the omniscient, omnipotent, omnipresent aspect of
our Mother God, All That Is.
In a Ceremony of Light, Mother Mary and Beloved
Cordial welcomed the Feminine Aspects of the Solar
Logos into the atmosphere of Earth. Beloved Cordial is
the Cosmic Silent Watcher of Peace. She abides in the
Temples of Peace that pulsate in the etheric realms
above Venezuela, and she holds the Immaculate Concept
of Eternal Peace for Planet Earth. In the Cosmic Tones
of their celestial voices, Mother Mary and Beloved
Cordial recited the Rosary of the New Age. This Rosary
was given to Humanity by Mother Mary in 1983 to help
pave the way for the return of the Divine Feminine,
our Mother God.
ROSARY OF THE NEW AGE
Hail Mother, full of Grace, the Lord is with Thee.
Blessed art thou amongst women and blessed is the
fruit of Thy womb, I AM. Hold for us now the
Immaculate Concept of our true God Reality from his
moment unto our Eternal Ascension in the Light. I AM
that I AM. (Mother Mary and Beloved Cordial, repeated
this statement three times).
This activity of Light involved the Masculine Aspects
of our Father God from Suns Beyond Suns: Beloved
Helios, the aspect of our Father God from our physical
Sun; Beloved Alpha from our Central Sun; Beloved
Elohae from our Great Central Sun; Beloved El from our
Great, Great Central Sun; and the Cosmic I AM, the
omniscient, omnipotent, omnipresent aspect of our
Father God, All That Is.
On August 16th, following the shift of consciousness
that occurred with the Baptism of the Holy Spirit, the
Beings of Light said the Light workers were finally in
a position to transmute the human effluvia that had
accumulated in the psychic-astral plane through the
misuse of our gift of Life. This sea of negativity
surrounding the planet is often called the Veil of
Illusion or Maya. It consists of all of the thoughts,
words, actions and feelings Humanity has expressed
that do not reflect Love or the reverence for Life.
The psychic astral plane is comprised of the mutated
patterns and thought forms Humanity has miscreated
over time. Those negativity energies are now
manifesting in the physical plane as fear, poverty,
war, disease, hatred, violence, abuse of power, greed,
corruption, feelings of unworthiness, pollution,
destructive weather conditions, and every other human
miscreation that does not reflect our Divine Potential
or the patterns of perfection in the Causal Body of
God.
This humanly-created sea of negativity has literally
buried Humanity in a mud puddle of chaos, confusion
and doubt. It has prevented us from perceiving our own
Divinity and our purpose and reason for being. This
astral plane of human miscreations has been the
primary tool our human egos have used to manipulate us
and to keep us from connecting with our I AM Presence.
It has allowed our egos to control us through fear and
ignorance.
To ensure the victory of this facet of the Divine
Plan, Beloved Saint Germain sent forth a clarion call
asking for the assistance of Legions of Light
throughout the whole of Creation who are associated
with the Violet Flame of Limitless Transmutation.
These champions of the Violet Flame responded to the
call and came from the far reaches of the Cosmos to
help this blessed planet.
In an unprecedented activity of the Violet Flame, the
Beings of Light united with the hundreds of thousands
of Lightworkers who were joining together in
one-pointed consciousness from around the world. The
Angels of the Violet Flame blazed this gift from the
Heart of God in, through and around every electron of
misqualified energy in the psychic astral plane.
The Violet Flame of Limitless Transmutation blazed
into the core of purity in every electron and
reactivated the pre-encoded Divine Potential in each
particle of Life. Everything that conflicted with the
Divine Potential of these mutated electrons was pushed
to the surface to be instantly transmuted by the
Violet Flame. The oppressive sea of negativity
surrounding the Earth was mercifully cleared, paving
the way for an influx of Light beyond anything the
Earth has ever experienced.
It is important for us to remember that the
psychic-astral plane was an accumulation of Humanitys
misqualified thoughts, words, actions and feelings.
Because of our gift of free will, until the I AM
Presence of every person has taken full dominion of
that persons thoughts, words, actions and feelings,
that person will still have the option to misqualify
energy. Therefore, it is up to you and me and the
dedicated Lightworkers all over the world to prevent
the psychic astral-plane from being recreated.
If we will each invoke our I AM Presence and ask that
aspect of our own Divinity to blaze the Violet Flame
through the psychic-astral plane, daily and hourly, to
transmute Humanitys negative thoughts, words, actions
and feelings, we will prevent this negative realm from
being recreated.
This will not prevent people from being responsible
for their actions or from experiencing the results of
their choices. But it will keep the negative
frequencies of energy from their human miscreations
from accumulating and recreating the psychic-astral
plane. This is a monumental opportunity for each of us
to assist Humanity and all Life evolving on this
planet. As is always the case, whenever we serve the
Light, our efforts will be rewarded immeasurably by
the Company of Heaven.

Hello from sunny Scottsdale, Arizona, where I'm doing
some book signings, leading some workshops, and
working on my new book currently titled "The Breath of
Presence: Awakening to Who We Really Are." I'd like to
begin this commentary with a passage from the
beginning of this work in progress:
"We are faced with a profound mystery: the miracle of
ourselves here and now as living, breathing beings.
Whatever scientific, religious, and spiritual beliefs
we may have about this mystery, about how and why we
have come to be, most of us are "asleep" to its
unfathomable immediacy, its "now-ness." We move though
our lives in a state of waking sleep, a state of
psychological, cultural, and spiritual hypnosis.
Instead of being present to the great miracle of
ourselves as breathing beings and to the limitless
expanse of inner awareness that underlies our
existence, each of us stakes out narrow, limited
territories based on our personal self-image, an image
constructed through many years of conditioning by
society, family, teachers, friends, and all the forces
of modern life vying for our attention.
This self-image, which we quickly learn to objectify
and call "I," is closely tied in with our religious
and spiritual beliefs, our ideas of right and wrong,
our judgments and expectations, our hopes and fears,
our likes and dislikes. And, since the very act of
staking out these territories is one of separation not
only from others, but from the essential mystery of
our own inner being, we create misunderstandings and
violence both in and around us. Instead of seeing and
dealing with our own confusion, anxiety, assumptions,
traumas, and lack of awareness and harmony, we project
these outside of ourselves and become caught up with
how other people, groups, institutions, nations, and
cultures should change to reflect our ideals and
desires.
Instead of seeing and welcoming the world as it is, we
either reject what is in favor of what we believe
should be, or entangle it so deeply in our own
self-serving stories that what actually is remains
hidden from us at the deepest levels. Instead of
awakening to the boundless awareness of I Am, the
boundless presence that we fundamentally are, we live
imprisoned in our own little territories, not
realizing that real freedom is just a breath away--the
breath that is occurring at this very moment, the
breath of presence."
More than ever, awakening to who we really are is
important not just for ourselves but for society and
the world. It is quite clear that we cannot solve the
problems we face today with the very same manipulative
mind that created them in the first place. And that is
what many of us are trying to do much of the time. No
matter what political beliefs, psychologies, healing
modalities, breathing modalities, spiritual
approaches, or way of living we subscribe to (and what
do we end up paying for these subscriptions?), we are
all slaves to the little territories that we have
staked out in the name of some kind of progress,
whether it has to do with social or political
progress, healing, consciousness, spiritual
understanding, or whatever. And our identification
with and attachment to these tiny territories of
belief and perception ultimately create unnecessary
suffering not just for ourselves but for all those we
come in contact with.
With awakening, however, comes a radical new
understanding. The understanding that beneath the
unique colors and fragrances and forms and conditions
of our manifestations on this earth, however good or
bad we may judge them to be, we are all the same being
in our deepest nature. Presence IS what we are, when
we are truly ourselves. The term "self-realization"
comes close to conveying this, through, it may be
helpful to remind ourselves that this realization is
not a matter of knowing something deeper about
ourselves but rather of experiencing the mystery of
ourselves as completely unknown--the miracle of
awakeness itself.
The breath of life, which we are all apparently
interested in (at least those of you who have
"subscribed" to this newsletter), flows most fully
through us when we are free from the known and living
from the unknown in ourselves. What is curious, indeed
startling, is that the more intimate we become with
ourselves, the closer we come to truly being present
to the sensations, feelings, and thoughts that reside
within our consciouness--no matter how difficult of
wonderful we might think them--the freer and more
loving we become. It is only when we stake out
territories, believing that this is good and that is
bad, that we create strife and separation that lead to
inner and outer slavery, misunderstandings, and
violence.
So why not pay attention to your breath right now, and
ask yourself from where it comes and to where it
returns. You can also ask this question next time you
are with a loved one or friend or enemy or just by
yourself. You can check in on your breathing any time
at all, since you are always being breathed Now, and
ponder for a moment this essential miracle of
yourself, the miracle of presence itself breathing.
Namaste,
Dennis

In order to focus one's mind on God, Babaji taught
people to chant the ancient mantra Om Namah Shivaya.
It is a Sanskrit phrase which means something like "I
surrender to/bow to/take refuge in God," or "Lord, Thy
will be done." The Name of God used in this mantra is
Lord Shiva, the Supreme Manifestation of God. Constant
repetition of the mantra (japa) focuses the mind on
God-- opens the heart and mind to God-- and stops, or
reduces, the tendency of one's mind to constantly plan
(the future), worry (about the past), daydream
(illusion), or otherwise idle away in essentially
useless activity.
Repeating God's Name of Om Namah Shivaya is a
protection and a purification of the consciousness. It
is like a clear running stream, constantly washing and
renewing the mind for higher purpose. Babaji's main
purpose for re-appearing is to reform the hearts and
minds of people. He comes to remove confusion and evil
from mankind. Shri Babaji once said: "The mind can be
purified only by japa. This is the only medicine for
the disease of the mind. While your mind and heart are
impure, how can God live in your heart? The water to
clean your heart is the Name of God. Teach everyone to
repeat the Name of God -- everywhere."
The mind that is generally focused on God's Name(s)
responds, when the need arises, spontaneously to
perform its required functions quickly, easily and
well. Babaji emphasized Om Namah Shivaya but also gave
other mantras on some occasions. The essence of his
instruction is "Repeat God's Name." Shri Babaji said
that when the great destruction comes to the world,
those who believe in and worship God sincerely, and
especially those who repeat His Name, will be saved by
the power of the mantra. "God's Name is more powerful
than a thousand atomic and hydrogen bombs."
How to perform Japa:
Usually, japa is performed on a mala (prayer beads,
108 beads per strand, like a rosary). In the morning,
upon waking from sleep, a bath is taken immediately
(pour water over all the body from a bucket with a
cup). After bath and dressing in your prayer clothes,
you sit peacefully in front of your altar. You touch
the mala only with the right hand. You hold the beads
without using the index finger (index finger is known
as the "ego" finger so you leave the ego out of this).
You begin where the mala has one larger bead and a
tassle; you say one mantra per bead, working the mala
around between thumb and middle finger. Once you have
completed the 108 repetitions, you turn the mala
around and go back the same direction you came. The
large bead at the end is called the "guru" bead, so
you "don't cross the guru," you keep turning the mala
around and going back over the beads the opposite
direction. Since 5 is a Shiva number, it is good to do
a minimum of 5 rounds of the mala at a sitting.
This is done morning and evening.
Japa Nam is also accomplished by constantly repeating
the Name of God while working, eating, walking, and
everything you do in a day, without always using the
mala. When you repeat the Name of God while working,
it is also called Karma Yoga.
Happiness is not in our circumstance but in
ourselves. It is not something we see, like a rainbow,
or feel, like the heat of a fire. Happiness is
something we are.
