Prophecy and Free Will
On
Prophecy from Love Without
End - Jesus Speaks by Glenda Green
"A powerful
change
of heart, especially when it is experienced by many, can alter all
former
predictions. When I walked on the Earth two thousand years ago, the
existing
conditions were such that a great cataclysm could reasonably be
predicted to
happen within the following five hundred years. However, that did not
occur."
He smiled and
radiated
pleasure, and a few minutes passed before He continued. "Why do you
think
it didn't happen?"
Instantly, His
broad smile
was reflected upon my own countenance, as a sense of elation enhanced
my inner
certainty. "Because a whole lot of hearts changed after you were
here!"
He smiled. "There
was a time, two to five hundred years after that when there should have
been
another great cataclysm. Again, it did not happen. As long as hearts
are
changing, external predictions are subject to continual revision.
"The major
forces
which invest in prophecy are the forces of structure. Structure
requires
predictable momentum. Structure invests in prophecy in order to hold
itself in
place and to keep from being changed. Such prophecy can range from
probability
analysis, to yearly planning, all the way to long-range investments.
You see,
prophecy is not merely an esoteric perception. It is also a
reality-based
observation and a bridge to predictable living. The art and science of
prophecy
can be abused, however, if it focuses upon emotional and spiritual
content
designed to penetrate the heart and solicit the heart's support for
matters
that are only temporal. Structure invests heavily in keeping the hearts
of men
from changing so that prophecies will not be undone. The heart is your
true
source of prophecy, for it commands the point where the internal and
the
external are one. It is a far more accurate diagnostic tool than
anything the
external can provide. All you have to do is enter your heart in order
to know
your future. The Sacred Heart and its seven layers of higher
intelligence will
tell you everything you need to know about how your life is unfolding."
I hesitated for
a moment
before asking my next question. My sense of reservation disappeared,
however,
when the corners of His mouth curled a bit and His eyes beckoned me to
speak.
"If prophecy is simply a reflection of temporal possibilities which can
fade or crumble behind the greater power of the Heart's truth, then
could you
reveal to me the continuing validity of the Book of Revelations?"
"The Book of
Revelations is a great deal more than a book of prophecy. It is a
timeless
revelation about the soul's fulfillment in its return to the Father,
along with
the perilous demise of all that is false as that alternate potential
falls away
in the light of truth. This book is not subject to the normal pitfalls
of prophecy because it
does not center its meanings around the
temporal probabilities of life, nor is that the
intent of its message. This sacred document has been greatly
misunderstood to
be an unfolding drama of external events. Certainly a profound
transmutation of
the human soul would be impossible without correlations and
manifestations
within outer forms of reality. Therefore. some physical phenomena will accompany the drama,
especially
considering that the very elements which fall to dust will be the
structures of
worldly dominance.
"Man cannot
realize
his sonship with the Father until first he
has
released all that was created through unconsciousness and
disconnection. False
identities, false meanings, and unworthy structures will fall away as
the soul
is empowered to manifest its true covenant. This is a glorious event to
be
approached in love rather than fear. Many hearts are changing today
before the
moment of critical mass and as hearts change toward love, so too will
external consequences
be reduced. What is to unfold is crucial and inevitable to the destiny
of man.
No one is exempt. However, there is a choice in how one receives the unfoldment. Those who approach it with love will
find it
the ultimate bridge to fulfillment."
There is a great deal of concern among many
people
today about impending cataclysmic events foretold by prophecy. It is
rather
amazing to think that in His presence, when I could have asked so much, my attention was never directed toward the
ominous or
to the thought of possible disaster. As He completed the
above-mentioned
thought, however, I made the one and only inquiry in all our
conversations
about the possibility of impending catastrophe. His answer was firm,
positive,
and contained no fear.
"The
structures
which dominate the lives of man today were all created in a state of
disconnection and unconsciousness. The powerful momentum of these
structures
carries with it the seed of continuing oppression. In order to survive,
such
creations must suppress the soul of man and perpetuate his enslavement
to them.
As the time of man's fulfillment arrives, there will be a simultaneous
collapse
and retaliation of that which wishes to survive against the good of
man. This
exposure will, nevertheless, assist in the elevation of man's
consciousness and
bring about a new era of brotherhood on Earth where structures are
reestablished from a state of consciousness and connection with Divine
Order."
I then inquired,
"Will
there be great suffering?"
"Suffering is
never
the will of the Father, although none will be exempt from the
experience. Many
will feel little suffering except for the compassion extended to those
who do
experience pain and sorrow. At the other extreme there will be many
others who
are so attached to that which must fall that there will be no reprieve
from
their agony. Even this is a blessing, that lives full of anguish may
bleed the
venom and thereby have a chance to heal. How the event is experienced
will be
due in large part to individual choice, and also to the accumulated
necessity
of fulfilling choices made long ago. Regardless of how each individual
receives
the impact of change, it remains enduringly true that all mankind will
be
blessed with the results of that human transfiguration."
Until the day
that such a
complete transformation of human potential arrives, there are many
bridges
which may convey our lives to higher levels of consciousness and
ability.
According to the Master, it is imperative that we seek always for
higher ground
because, "A problem can never be solved at the level of its
creation and existence. Every problem has to be solved from at least
one level
of awareness or ability above it. One of the greatest mistakes mankind
is
making in regard to life's problems is to address them on the level
which
caused them to occur and supports their persistence. This leads only to
struggle, fighting, and perpetual frustration.
"To solve a
problem
it is first necessary to view it from a higher level. This is
especially easy
to observe in the area of physical healing. A physician or any medical
facility
can only arrest an illness, keep it from
progressing, or
reduce infection, thus providing conditions in which healing may
occur.
The actuality of healing is always a miracle that happens on a higher
level
through the restoration of wholeness. No matter what the problem,
healing
always comes from a higher level."
From
Seth Speaks by
Jane Roberts
First
of all, as a race, in the context of normal usage, you have considered
yourselves as apart from the rest of nature and consciousness.
Your
own survival as a species was your main concern. You considered other
species
only in the light of their use to you. You did not have any true
conception of
the great sacredness of all consciousness, nor of your relationship
within it.
You were losing your grasp of that great truth.
In
the present circumstances you are carrying that idea forward--of racial
survival regardless of the consequences, the idea of changing the
environment
to suit your own purposes; and this has led you to a disregard of
spiritual
truths.
In
physical reality, therefore, you are seeing the results. Now those
personalities who are returning are doing so for various reasons. Some
of them
are drawn to physical life again because of these attitudes. They are
those who
in the past, in your terms, strove for physical existence without
consideration
for the rights of other species. They are driven to return because of
their own
desires.
The
race must learn the value of the individual man. The race is also
learning its
dependence upon other species, and beginning to comprehend its part in
the
whole framework in physical reality.
Now:
Some individuals are being reborn at this time simply to help you
understand.
They are forcing the issue, and forcing the crisis, for you still have
time to
change your ways. You are working on two main problems, but both
involve the
sacredness of the individual, and the individual's relationship with
others and
with all physically oriented consciousness.
The
problem of war will sooner or later teach you that when you kill
another man,
basically you will end up killing yourself. The over-population problem
will
teach you that if you do not have a loving concern for the environment
in which
you dwell, it will no longer sustain you--you will not be worthy of it.
You
will not be destroying the planet, you see. You will not be destroying
the
birds or the flowers, or the grain or the animals. You will not be
worthy of
them, and they will be destroying you.
You
have set up the problem for yourselves within the framework of your
reference.
You will not understand your part within the framework of nature until
you
actually see yourselves in danger of tearing it apart. You will not
destroy
consciousness. You will not annihilate the consciousness of even one
leaf, but
in your context, if the problem were not solved, these would fade from
your
experience.
The
crisis is a kind of therapy, however. It is a teaching method that you
have set
up for yourselves because you need it. And you need it now, before your
race
embarks upon journeys to other physical realities. You must learn your
lessons
now in your own backyard before you travel to other worlds. So you have
brought
this upon yourself for that purpose and you will learn. (End session at
Conspiracy
of Well-Being from Abraham through Ester
Hicks
Date:
Subject: [AbeQuotes] Conspiracy Of
Well-Being
Every feeling of
victim,
every feeling of paranoia, every feeling of vulnerability that has been
projected from the beginning of man's experience here on this planet is
running
like a river. And every now and again someone will tap into that stream
and
speak it as truth -- and what they are speaking is their truth. What
they are
speaking is what they are finding vibrational
harmony
with. What they are speaking is an option that is certainly available
to all of
you.
Most of you are
not aware of
what the vibrations that you are offering are attracting back to you.
So, if
you mean well, if you want well, but you are not getting well, and you
don't
understand because nobody's explained to you the correlation between
what you
are thinking and feeling and what you are getting -- that's a breeding
ground
for paranoia. Because then you say, "Well, I'm certainly not doing it
to
myself. Somebody else must be doing it to me." And as it shows up
everywhere you go, it must be somebody really, really good, somebody
who has
spies and networks and satellites. "How could I keep having these same
negative experiences everywhere I go? I know I'm not doing it to me. So
somebody else must be doing it. And if they're this good, they must be
really
good. It must be government or other galaxies. It's a huge conspiracy."
And we say, It's a self-perpetuated conspiracy. It's you
hooking into victimhood or into
vulnerability and holding yourself apart
from Well-being, and then blaming somebody else because the Well-being
doesn't
come to you. Law of Attraction says Well-being can't come to you when
you're so
aware that you are standing over here where you don't want to be. So
you blame
your plight on your mother or on the government or on some evil
conspiracy, and
we say, All you need to do is just relax and lighten up and let your
Energy
raise, and Well-being will come back to you. And then, who do you give
that
credit to?
When Well-being
happens, why
aren't there any 'giant conspiracies of Well-being' out there? You
never hear
it, do you? "The government has secret things that are happening that
are
making things go well for me. Traffic lights are turning green and
friends are
calling me and dollars are flowing. There's a conspiracy of health in
our
neighborhood. I look around and almost everyone I see is up and alive
and well.
Children are smiling and going to school. The traffic, for the most
part, is
going very well. Only a fraction of our traffic ever goes wrong. A
conspiracy,
it's a conspiracy!"

Leading
Edge of All That Is Abraham through Ester
Hicks
Abraham:
Everything that you
are living is adding unto that which we are all about, you see. And so
when you
sit before us and you offer your appreciation of that which we are, we
cannot
begin to express in words the appreciation that we feel for your place
in this
motion forward.
Because
after all, you are out here on the leading edge of thought. You are the ones exposing yourself to the
intricacies
of the new possibilities. You are the ones giving birth to the thought
taking
it beyond that which it has been before.
And all benefit
by your
allowing yourself to have that experience. Whether you allow yourself
to catch
up with the energy and have the benefit in the moment of it or not, the
Universe's expansion is because of your leading edge stance, you see.
Our work is not
about that
leading edge stance because we know that has to be. That is a given. We
cannot
cease to be and we cannot cease to move forward.
In other words,
this
expansion of the Universe is happening continually. There is no way of
stopping
it. But our part with you is, as we talk to you along the way and you
now relax
more and more and allow yourself the "in the moment" alignment with
this energy, now things really move along in a very satisfying way.
And there is
nothing more
satisfying for us than to feel your satisfaction. Because in your
satisfaction,
you allow us fully to flow through you and it reflects back. In other
words,
it's like the completion of the cycle, never ending cycle.
It just keeps
starting all
over again. Something new to think about,
something new to
not understand, something new to understand. And the
satisfaction of
bringing it into alignment is what we are all about.
We and you are
wise enough
to know that we will never get it done. And so, it sort of makes you wanna stop and savor more moments, doesn't it? Nothing to race toward because nothing is incomplete.
In other words,
nothing is
incomplete in the sense that it is flawed in any way. Everything is
incomplete
in the sense that it will constantly be amended.
And so,
time for everyone to focus in their NOW looking more for the nuggets of
excitement and anticipation.
Looking
for more things to praise and more things to feel stimulation about.
More
things to analyze and more things to ponder. And more things to
conclude and
more things to feel satisfaction over.
And more
things to appreciate and more things to love.
And more
things to enjoy and more things to savor.
And more
things to anticipate and more things to explore.
And more
things to not understand and more things to then understand.
And more
things to feel satisfaction about and more things to adore.
And more
things to find positive aspects of and more things to appreciate.
And more
things to love and more things to savor.
And more
things to ponder and more things to contemplate.
Are we repeating
ourselves?
Guest: Umm hmm. (laughter)
Abraham: More
things to
continue to use as our reason for feeling good in this moment. For that
is
life, yes. Whether you catch a fish or not.
(laughter)
Guest: I
appreciate your
great sense of humor, too.
Abraham: Yes
indeed. (applause) There is not something
that you're supposed to do.
You can feel the power of that which you have the ability to do. AND YOU'RE WANTING TO FIND SOME WAY OF CHANNELING IT.
And the primary
thing that
we've been wanting all of you here today, to hear today, is that there
are not
more virtuous things than others.
In other words,
everything
that you're setting your attention to is worthy of source energy
flowing to it.
You've just got to decide what it is. Life is really supposed to be
good.
And you are
adored by Source
Energy. You cannot get it wrong. And even though there are plenty of
things
that you think you have done wrong, there is nothing that Source Energy
acknowledges as having been wrong doing by you.
You are pure
positive energy
here in the physical body, out here on the leading edge of thought
doing a very
good job. And Source Energy is extremely pleased to interact with you
in all
ways. There is GREAT LOVE here for you. We are complete.
