Thoth: Evolution

Evolution Transcript

Good Evening.  

You have been thinking of some hardships.  And you have been thinking of some blessings.  

And I think we have spoken before, but it is an ongoing relevancy of the relationship between those things.  

Your lives, and the life of the world is now more dynamic.  And I think you’ve noticed.

And there are many who, in the face of this greater dynamic-ness of life, will choose to leave.  And this is alright.  

Their choices may not be conscious.  And their choices may be due to a feeling of overwhelm, of not being up to it.  

Life, as you have known it, is in one of its most significant times of shift and change. 

And so, those qualities that you have generally thought to be, to define a good life, like stability.  You must learn a new stability.  The stability must come from deeply within yourself.  

It is not the external stability which perhaps you have been accustomed to before.  It may not relate to external images such as material goods, such as position, such as identity with job, but it is deeper. 

And those of you who seek healing, who seek greater spiritual connection to yourself and the world.  I think this is what you are going to be confronted with.  Is the knowledge and the consciousness that you are in a great time of change and transition. 

Now, in the mystery of how the flow of energy is constructed.  Your sorrow, and your realizations about the tragedies in the world.  You can feel them deeply.  You can honor yourself for your sorrow.  

And then you must allow that energy to ebb and flow.  

If it is held onto it is because it may connect with more personal issues which are being held onto. 

Everything now is about change.  Everything now is about evolution.  

And the more you are able to receive this, then the more you can gracefully go through the changes that are before you.  

The blessings will be interwoven with any consciousness of sorrow or hardship.  And the more that you resist change, the more uncomfortable you will be. 

Now, in addition, the world of Spirit is stronger.  Draws stronger to those who wish it to.  

And there are many people all across this world, with many different cultures, many different belief systems, many different faces.  Some who you would not expect to be in affinity with you.  

And yet there are many who seek the sweeter, the kinder, the truer more fulfilling, gentler way of being. 

So, it is important for you to continually reaffirm your own stance.  

How do you wish to be in the world?  How do you wish to represent truth, your truth?  

So, you return to this again and again.  And the more you return to it.  The more easily your living will be.  The more sweet your living will be. 

Because this may be a dark time for the political process amongst the world’s people, and it is.  But it is not the intention that you live in hardship.  

But deeper, truer humankind is required to emerge.  This is a process. 

So, let us take your sorrows.  Let us take your limitations.  Let us take those beliefs which hurt you.  Let us take those and offer that energy.  It’s like compost. 

So we will send it.  There is a Sacred tree.  It is north of here.  It is in a grove which has been considered Sacred by the native peoples of this land.  

And it is one of many places which anchor the Divine to Earth.  As do you.  

So, we are going to send the compost of your sorrows and limitations to this tree for its strengthening. 

Release what you wish to release.  Do it now.  

You have done an act which serves yourself.  And it serves something very important, something else. 

Now, bring to your consciousness now, that which you wish to manifest in this next year.  

And make your intention large.  Do not limit yourself to something very small.  

What is it which will enable you to manifest your Divine Self?  

And you don’t have to be specific.  You can ask only for that.  It is broad enough, so you will not limit yourself again.  

You have been taught to limit yourself.  It is part of this culture particularly.

So, what do you wish for yourself?  Make a statement quietly to yourself.  

This intention, I call upon your guidance to hear it.  I call upon your Soul to speak for itself.  

I connect your intention to the strength of the Earth.  And I open your intention to the universe above that it may go to the highest possibilities. 

I surround you with strength and love.  And I give you permission to dare.  To be all that you wish yourself to be. 

Now, tonight I went very directly to that which is most important for our evening’s work.  But I am interested if you have any questions.  

You may ask them.  Or have a thought that you wish to have input about.  I invite you to be comfortable in my presence. 

—I have a question.—

Yes.

—How to overcome judgment and criticism?—

Ah, very, very good question, and a very common problem.  And in that response too, one could say how to overcome insecurity?  How to overcome negative self-attitude?

So, know that they are a thought form, and an emotional reaction.  And this is something which you have learned.  

And that it is something which might be very solidly implanted within you.  Does it feel that way sometimes?

—Yes.—

This is implanted so that you limit yourself.  So that the forces of your own healing capacity would be limited.  

In some of our conversation we’ve talked of evil.  Do not think I’m referring to something specific which has visited you.  It is a more generalized force.  

And I’m sure at times you have wondered.  Why is there so much sorrow, pain, anger, hardship?  Why?

Well, this is part of the force field.  Just as the Sacred is part of a force field.  

And I only bring this up because then one wonders.  Why should you be burdened with such feelings as this which are strong, and which limit you?

And all of you have your own limiting beliefs.  

So this is why I say, your work to release those is not simply for your own benefit.  Your work to release those is a spiritual statement.  It’s a warrior-ship issue.

You heal not for yourself alone.  You heal for everyone.  You heal for every living thing.  You heal for the beauty of the Earth.  

So, this is why to release this is important.  And this is why also there may be counter force that makes this process more challenging.

So, how to do it?  

It has a lot to do with surrender.  So, where do you surrender in your life?  Do you pray?

And you don’t need to answer me these questions.  But it’s for everyone.  

Do you pray?  Do you sometimes cry, weep?  Good surrender.  Not too much, but some.  

Do you receive healing?  Do you lay before someone, and receive what you need?  Do you allow yourself to be vulnerable?

Do you face the unknown and say, “I don’t know.  I ask for help with this.  I ask my Spirit guides.  I ask my friend.  I ask teacher.  I ask lover.  I ask spiritual counselor.  I need help.”

And in the darkness of your most solitary moments is the very powerful time to surrender.  To lay upon your bed.  To lay on the floor, or in the world if you can, and release yourself.  

Some of these things are very powerful.  And it’s the process of surrender.  Spiritual development has a lot to do with surrender.

So, I look and see if I see anything more specific in the energy field.  

You know you can release things energetically.  You know that this kind of assistance is available to you.  You do this for others.  You can work on it.  Surrender in many forms.

So, it’s a question of finding many forms.  Avail yourself of not one, not two.  Avail yourself of a habit of cultivating Sacred space where you are safe to surrender yourself.  This is important.  All keep yourself safe in this Sacred space.

And you can create this anytime.  You can live in this space.  And this might be one of your goals.  Does this answer your question?

—Yes.—

Good.  Thank you for your question.  Very good.  Who else?  

—I have a question.  How can we bring in more joy and vitality and excitement, enthusiasm for being alive in the midst of so many tragedies, and hardships, and suffering?  That not only focused by the media, the negativity, but just the reality of the intensity of the conflict of the forces.— 

Good question.  One thing to do is to be in connection.  And if you have half of a minute you can connect to the natural world.  

The natural world is neglected.  Is this right, in your culture, very neglected?  

—Yes.—

Your natural world is simply outside your door.  And you create Sacred space around your home.  You create Sacred space within your home.  And you relate to it then. 

Be alone less and less.  And I don’t mean that you are physically alone.  This can be the most nourishing.  But when you are physically alone, if you feel sorrow building.  If you feel the darkness building, you must connect. 

Connect to a plant indoors.  Connect to any object of beauty.  To your images of the Sacred, to a friend.  To meaningful groups of people.  

And connection is your salvation from the darkness. 

And I use the word, please know darkness can be full of life and beautiful.  

But those things which would draw you down, and limit you.  And make you feel incapacitated.  This is what you wish to avoid.  

And become habitual with avoiding it.  So, if you look at the newspaper or magazines.  Skip the pieces which grab your heart and crush it.  Skip them. 

Go, find the ones that give you hope.  When you read this one that gives you hope.  You are activating the energy field of those people.  

You may not communicate with them, but if you do, this is marvelous.  But if you don’t, you are still activating the energy which they are about.  

You are enforcing them, reinforcing.  And you reinforce yourself in this process. 

So, as much sweetness and gentleness as you can bring into your everyday.  This will help you a great deal.  

And first, you may need to accept that sweetness and gentleness is something that you deserve.  I want you to receive this deeply in your being.  

You may take it into your pituitary and pineal glands. 

Do this.  Sweetness, gentleness, peace, love, and grace are your just desserts.  

Let this fall like nectar into your brain.  Let your glands absorb it.  

You do not need to grow through sorrow.  

Grow through joy.  Grow through sweetness. 

These things are available to you when you live from within your being, your body.  When you look with your eyes and receive the beauty which is around you, perhaps in small things. 

Receive.  Surrender.  To that which nourishes you.  Seek beauty.  

Then you strengthen your energy field, and you strengthen the energy field of that which you appreciate.  

And then you grow that which you wish to be in the world.  You create the world.  

You are more powerful than you imagine.  And as your numbers grow.  Then all shall be transformed. 

Now, believe in your own beauty.  And others will see it within you.  Others will see your beauty as you feel yourself to be beautiful.  

And then you will draw to yourself that which you wish.  That which is good for you. 

This answers another unasked question.  

My beloved ones, is there anything else which you wish?

—Yes.—

Yes.

—How do we know when we should surrender to the will of the Divine?—

Well, you may want to think of it as the Divine within you.  Not something that comes from without.  But something that is the union of yourself and the Divine.  

You see, what you surrender to is your deeper knowing.  You surrender to your greater connectedness to the universe.

So really you are surrendering to your Self as Divine.  And this is a daily process.  A step-by-step process.  An ongoing transformative process.  

Which you can promise yourself you will do to greater and greater degree.

So, for each of you I give a blessing for the New Year.  May by the time this year is complete.  May you look back upon who you were tonight.  

And may you feel joyful in the degree to which you have shed your limitations, your limiting beliefs.  And embrace the fullness of yourself. 

Not that you will not continue to formulate greater sense of self in the future.  

But may this year be very significant for you to love yourself.  Hold yourself as Sacred and significant.  And give of yourself for the good of all.  

May this be so for you. 

And may you see signs of change all along the way.  All along the way.  

So you need not be discouraged.  And when you find yourself discouraged.  Hold yourself in a cocoon of love.  

And you will re-emerge.  You will re-emerge stronger and truer. 

So, this is my blessing for you.  

Be good to one another.  

Care for yourself.  

Love as broadly as you are able.  

And let that continually grow.  

We hold you in our love. 

You are never alone.  

May you be surrounded by sweetness.  

Good night.
