Thoth: Strength

January 27, 2004

Strength Transcript

—I call us into Sacred Space.  I ask for the guardianship and the blessings of the Grandmothers and the Grandfathers of the Sacred Directions, at all the points around the wheel.  

The presence of Mother Earth, a source of grounding and energy for each one of us.  

Make sure you connect with that, so that you’re fed.  And you’re in your own core.  

And Father Sky above us, and our connection to the vast and mysterious universe of which we are a part. 

Into this Sacred space I also invite our beloved Spirit guides.  Those who would like to make contact with us this evening in response to where we currently are.  And where you would guide us. 

I ask each one present, each one of us in the circle in body, to become sensitive to your energy field.  Your grounding to the Earth.  So you have access to her strong and present energy.  Filling you, and assuring your deep presence in this process.  

We are here to learn from our embodied selves, our embodiment.  So invite her presence within you. 

And be aware of your core and its fluidity.  Our core can incorporate the grounded-ness from Mother Earth and from our bodies.  Our connection to the universe.  And the paradox of living with Spirit both within us and outside of us. 

And now, bring your awareness to the energy in our circle.  And to the Spirit beings that have come.  

And if you have any awareness of specific beings, friends on the animal, plant, or Spirit vibration, human Spirit vibration.  Acknowledge those to them quietly to yourself.  Acknowledge what presence you feel. 

And if there’s anything in your energy field that feels heavy.  Like it’s something which might inhibit your sensitivity.  Then just spend a moment breathing.  And be willing to release that.  

It might be tension.  It might be some emotion, some reaction to something in your experience. 

Soften into your field, so that you can embrace the transformational process in a tangible form.  

And now, hold your own space.  And your open connection to Spirit while I move over.— 

Good Evening.  

—Good evening.—

We have invited you to embody yourselves.  It is a pleasing process.  And, I who have no longer a body, do enjoy this process of reconnecting to a physical body. 

In my time our body knowing was part of our spiritual training.  There was no division between our body and our Spirit being.  And we trained a great deal.  

We were very strong physically.  The training of our muscles to be under a great deal of control.  The strength that we anticipated we would have.  

The merging of energy with muscular strength was something that is no longer very greatly practiced in your world. 

But you might find and consider that if you want to learn to affect others who are not before you.  That it takes a strength, a moving energy, a coordination of your bodily strength, to have the intention, to have accuracy of sending energy where you wish it to be.  

It takes all of the senses to build your powers. 

So, I’m sharing this with you just in the event that you seek to pursue greater training of the body.  If you seek to walk what is now more often considered a shamanic path.  

One where you integrate very deeply your senses and your spirit energy.  And simply know, even if this is not of interest to you, that you increase in your powerfulness as you do this. 

So, should you wish to have influence over others.  Not for the sake of influence I don’t suggest.  But for the sake of embodying yourself and holding your own ground.  Then these concepts might be useful to you. 

Because we have observed that you as sensitive females in your time must continually assert your right to have your own presence, and your own space.  Is this so?

—Yes.—

Yes.  And this is even so in your relationship with other women.  If you will excuse me, a male, to talk with you about these things. 

But it is, I’m coming to you because I wish to talk to you about holding your own space.  

This is in the realm of paradox because it doesn’t mean that you’re always right.  So, you are always challenged to ask yourself, “Is this true?  Is this person’s input true?” 

But it is your responsibility to make that determination about where you stand.  Via in relationship to someone.  In relationship to a thought that you are trying to determine your philosophy about.  Whether it is about your version of reality vs someone else’s.  

So, to hold your own space does not mean to be correct all the time.  This is understandable.  Yes?

—Yes.—

And yet what you can do is reserve your space, and your right to not know.  And to hold not knowing until you know.  

And we find in your world that there is not very much silence between people and between events.  

So you are expected to formulate, or to know where you stand when you may not be ready to know where you stand.  

And then you need to hold your ground to say, “I’m not clear on that.  I will let you know when I’m clear on that.”  

Does this make sense to you?

—Yes.—

So, let me see.  Your embodying your body is a delicious thing.  You have the intricacy of this physical body which is a miracle from the farthest reaches of time.  And the farthest reaches of Divine intention.  

So value this body that you have.  Value your delights of the flesh.  

The strengthening of the muscles process.  The receiving of touch and oils.  The feeding of your body.  The care taking of your body.  The seat of your soul. 

And live as if every cell is Sacred.  Every cell contains the Divine.  

Now, feel that in your cells for this moment.  

Each of your cells contains the hologram of the Sacred.  The hologram of the universe.  The hologram of greater consciousness. 

Now, you have spoke of healing abilities.  This is something you can learn to access to greater degree when you touch another.  

But here distinction is also greatly required.  So you must learn to be conscious of.  And this comes with time.  And it comes with your own transformational process of your body/spirit unit. 

That you can be conscious of, at the same time, this greater connection to all that is Sacred.  To the holographic energy of the universe.  

Which you can see would be powerful in healing situations.  Yes?

—Yes.—

But you must also at the same time have a dual vision.  And see that person who is before you.  So that you can be the bridge between these two visions.  

All the while seeing where they are.  And their potential limitations.  Or what they are demanding of you.  What they are capable of in terms of transformation. 

So, let me pause.  I am Thoth.  I am pleased to be with you again.  Let me see what else I wish to tell you. 

Ah, so you are a group of females.  You have sensitivities, very fine sensitivities which you use for understanding yourself.  For serving those around you, in your family, in your friends, in your clients.  

And I’m visiting you, at least in this moment, partly to bring you my male energy. 

And so, in your body, also, see if you can draw in some qualities of male more strongly.  

Of course, you each have them already.  But see if you can bring that to a bit more of a consciousness.  So that it’s in your cells.  It’s in your energy field.  

And you can know when to call on it when you need it.  

When you need this greater boundary.  When you need to separate yourself from others.  

Because in your sensitivity you’ve learned to blend.  Is this right?

—Yes.—

And sometimes then you have difficulty with knowing fully what you need.  Because you know so well what others need.  

So, feel into yourself for your edges.  The edge which you wish to utilize for self protection, for self delineation. 

It is a beautiful thing to be female.  And right now your leadership is what is emerging in the world.  And what is needed in the world.  

Your energy of connection.  Your energy of awareness of the needs of others.  Your ability to be loving.  

And yet, I’m speaking on a political level of evolution.  

And yet, it will behoove you to integrate into this your masculine aspect.  

So that you are not soft when you should not be soft.  So that you do not take in when you should not.  

So that you give yourself enough space to know your own needs.  And to meet them. 

In your world this takes courage.  Is this true?

—Yes.—

So, I am here to put in my energy field courage and this boundary-ed quality.  So that you may taste it.  And enhance it in your own fields.  

I am quite sure you will not misuse this.  Do you worry that you might?

—No.—

Good.  So, we bring you different vibrations.  And we bring you vibrations as a way of learning.  

We feel it speeds your learning process to bring you specific vibrations which we are aware that you need.  

So, mountain vibration very helpful.  And then this vibration of boundary.  And vibration of stance.  Being able to hold your stance.  

Try to feel that in your body.  Try to feel it in your legs if you can.  In your first chakra.  See if that does any adjustment to the rest of your torso.  

And let that move through your body.  

This is a power which can delineate between a germ and health.  This is an energy that can delineate between cancer cells and healthy cells.  

So, this is something that you will find handy on a number of levels. 

And know, that when we bring something like this to your energy field.  It is there.  It’s like a seed planted for you.  And you will call it to germinate at whatever rate you choose.  

And the way you choose is the frequency with which you return to your Spirit consciousness.  And how you integrate.  And come back to the principles which you are exposed to.  

And we know that this involves living in a dual reality.  And that this can be quite challenging for you.  

And yet, it brings you a more delicious life.  

Courageous yes, but I have heard from your stories the courage which you enjoy in having some of your new experiences.  Of stepping out into lack of full control.  

But in a conscious and meaningful way, not a foolhardy way.  Engaging the unknown and being blessed for doing so. 

Alright, does anyone have a question for me?

—I do Thoth.—

Yes.

—Can you speak about this collective resistance, and what its energy is, and the best way to hold my own alignment in response to that?—

Well, we have spoken of this just now.  These same principles would apply to the situation which you find yourself in.

You are traveling in layers of energy and consciousness.  Which is all the more important to call upon your warrior self.  

And to achieve a greater integration of your warrior self into your spiritual consciousness, energetic spiritual consciousness.

You must be aware of being attracted to too much mystery.  And being willing to travel in arenas which are not nourishing for your higher, clearer good.  

They are interesting, but you must make choices about the use of your energy.

And so, if you can apply your consciousness of your warrior self to, as quickly as you can, say, “This is a road, this is an energy which I define a boundary against.  I do not need to explore it further.  I do not need to understand it further.  I understand it adequately.  And I have other things to do with my energy.”

I think this would help you  in your quest to terminate certain aspects of your process of inquiry.  In order that you may embrace more fully the present and the future which you are seeking to embody.

Does this answer your question?

—Just learn to say no.—

Yes, and take it into the physicality of your energy system.  So feel it in your body.  Take it in stance in your muscles.  

Hold it in your first chakra which is survival.  Then this first chakra will speak to you more clearly.  

This chakra will say to you, “That’s a road I don’t want to go through.  I don’t want to go down that road.  I needn’t go.  I have more important things to do.”  

I’m asking you to develop a more bodily knowing.  Instant, deep, body survival, first chakra knowing.

Each of your chakras is a system of knowing.  Each of your chakras can give you information.  

Which is, and of course, I’m speaking to everyone.  Which, it contains its own wisdom.  And you can over utilize the chakras which are your strengths. 

So, in your culture, of course you know, the third chakra, the mind is over utilized.  

In many people with spiritual inclinations, the upper chakras are over utilized.  Or not lived in balance with the other chakras.  

And this is a consistent message I think we have been bringing you.  Yes?

—Yes.—

So your first chakra is wise in its ways of survival.  And testing, and knowing who is worth your time, and who is not.  What situation is worth your time and what is not.  

And you have not, in your culture, been encouraged at all to develop this first chakra.  So we fully understand that we’re asking a challenge of you.  

But you will be stronger for this.  

And in your processes, at some point, and many points.  You will be challenged to become stronger or not.  To be more solid or not.  

And you must choose again and again. 

Now, if you want to take an evening off.  You have my full support.  

—Thank you.—

But the next day will arrive.  And you will need to choose again.  So, you choose, and it is so. 

The potentiality of human beings is what is worth your time.  You see the choice?  

I know this is difficult.  I know this is a difficult one.  

But, you are cleaning yourselves.  Choices every day.  You are clearing yourselves.  So, you might as well know what your choices are.  

So, the potential of human beings, and anyone who carries that potential.  That’s who you give your energy to.  

Your admiration carries weight.  Your prayers carry weight.  

And mostly what you choose to put into your own energy field carries the most weight for your existence.  Which is all you can really affect the most deeply.  

You affect everything, yes.  But the more power you carry, the more effect you have.  

It’s not so very easy though, is it, to carry power?  

—No.—

No, you’ve not been trained for it.  

—It’s tiresome.—

Well, then you need to learn to do it without it being tiresome.  Because it comes from a comfortable place within.  

Although, I grant you, it will bring challenges.  But if you are feeding yourself adequately.  Those challenges will feed you.  

We are talking a very complex blending of capabilities.  So why are we bringing this to you?  

It is because you have invited us here with your questions that were spoken and unspoken.  And it is what we read in your energy fields as being present and evolving.  

But, of course, it is your choice each day.  Each moment of opportunity.  It is all your choice.  Very complex.

—And when you say there’s a choice to be solid or not solid, and strong and not strong.  Is there a time when to be not solid, not strong is appropriate?—

Well, this is discernment abilities which you are speaking of.

—Yes.—

And if you can play first with bringing strength and power into your body, into your very body.  Then you will make those decisions so much more easily.  

Your wisdom will be there to carry you.

You may be strong and soft in the same instant.  But your strength is best ever present.  

Even though you will learn to be strong and surrender.  And then your vibration will be powerful.  And what you surrender to will be greater.  

What will come to you will be greater because you in your energy field have the capacity to hold this certainty of self, and of place, and of right of existence.

Many of you were taught that you had no right to exist.  That you should be thankful for your existence.  

And while this is true.  The thankfulness is not due to those who wish to impose that belief on you.

You be thankful to the source of existence, to the Sacred.  And ground yourselves in that.  

In knowing that you are on a web of connection which is purposeful.  Which connects to the soul of who each of you is.

You each have something unique to contribute to the world.  

And truly this can be said of every human being.  And yet, every human being is not ready for this level of discourse and teaching.  Yes?

—Yes.—

So, it gives you a blessed place of challenge.  Any more questions?

—Thoth.—

Yes.

—I have been working towards things that you are mentioning this evening.  Strengthening and feeding myself more, so that I am solid.  Is there any other advice that you can give to that?—

Play with the interplay of softness and hardness.  Challenge yourself to move from one state to the other.  Challenge your fluidity.  

Practice your strength coming from your core.  And from that strength practice surrender in the chakras which relate to Spirit.  

But even there, sense the delineation of your own boundaries.  

And this is excellent for everyone.  

Feel the strength of your core.  And engage this during your day.  

Experiment with talking to people from the strength of your core.  And then from unconsciousness.  Or from more usual state of consciousness.  

See if people react to you differently.  See if you remain energized in a different way.  As opposed to becoming drained.

Even with Spirit, many of you know that you must be discerning and discriminating.  Yes?

—Yes.—

And those of you who are very open in your upper chakras, all the more so.  

Which speaks to everyone here.  And the more open you are, the more discerning you must be.  

There are opportunistic energies, viruses, people.  So, vigilance is necessary in warrior-ship.  

And yet it need not be a burden, only a form of consciousness.  

Choice making over and over in your days.  Say to yourself, “What is my choice here?”  

So often if you feel confused it’s because you don’t know what your choice is between.  What you will have to choose.  

Once you clarify that.  Know what you have to choose about.  Then your response very often comes quite easily.  Try this.

And if you feel energies around you.  Ask discernment.  Ask for yourself, “What is this?  Do I choose to feel it?  Do I choose to dismiss it?  

Do I choose to bring it to consciousness?  Do I feel it will take me down a road which may be interesting?  May be odd?  May be unique and affirm my uniqueness?  

But is it of service?”

And if it’s not of service.  What is your choice then?  

Here is where you form your own karma.  In moments like this where you make those choices.

Very complex.  This teaching is very complex tonight.  

Any other questions?  Do you see how well your questions expand the teaching?

—I do.  You talk about making choices.  And my question, some of the things that I can see, the Spirits that I can see, and the visions that I have, are not always ones that make it easy for me to make a choice.  

How do I know which ones I need to put more energy towards?  How do I know how to make that choice?  How do I know which visions that I have are ones I need to act upon?  And which ones are, you know, just let it go?  Cause the things that I see are difficult.  How do I deal with that?—

Very excellent, excellent question for you to ask.  And I wish you to know how proud I am that you asked this question.  Do you feel this from me?

—Yes, I do.—

Well, it will not be completely simple.  It is a process that you will learn.  

So you can ask yourself questions like, “Why do I have this gift?  What situations can I serve?”

And come, again, from the physical place of solidity.  Do your physical training first.  

And if you are in doubt you can say, “I don’t know the best choice.  This situation I cannot touch unless I feel it is an action for me.”

Another thing that you can do is, in your alignment with yourself, work from the first chakra up through your whole field.  Go to your heart chakra and ask your guidance to be deeply connected with you.  

And practice such things as saying, “This is a situation I’m sure is not for me.”  Or, “This is a situation I’m unsure about.  Guidance please give me a sign, or speak to me to let me know.”

And know that your energy level must predicate what you can work on.  

If you are fatigued, don’t work.  You place yourself in danger.  

If you are not carrying enough energy in your energy field because you have not walked sufficiently.  Your own physical vibration is not strong enough.  

Consider protecting yourself first.

When you feel strong, your choice making will be clearer.  And you may choose something to help someone if it’s all correct, and you’re strong enough to help.  And you make a difference.  

That changes your karma.  And it puts you on a path of higher karma choices.

So, your choices are important.  And your physical energy field and body are important in your ability to make these choices.

And rely on Spirit.  Do not be alone.

So, you’ve got your physical body practices to devote yourself to, which may be simply walking and stretching and breathing deeply.  

So that you invite health to yourself and your Spirit relationship.  So your guidance becomes much more clear for you.  

Because your gifts are great.  And they will be wasted if you do not have this support.  You deserve to have this support.  So that you can bring your gifts to the world. 

 You will soon know in your heart, through your heart, which situations call to you.  

They may at this point tend to involve children who are lost.  They don’t know where they are.  Their soul is confused.  

But you feel a sweetness in that Spirit.  Just like you have such a sweetness in your Spirit.  

So you can help those who you relate to.  You can help those who are, in a sense, on a similar band of quality of sweetness.  

So you will see beings who are not on that band.  And you will know this, yes?

—Yes.—

Yes, you will, and you do now.  I think you know more than you know you know.  So look for the sweetness.  

And you will then fine tune the bands that are connected to you.

And if you find that there are bands connected to you that are fearful, then bring your warrior selves together.  

Bring your self in alignment with your Higher Self.  Bring your Spirit guide around you.  Bring your Gatekeeper to you.  And all these things are things which are very within your capability to learn and to access.  

And then say, “This force, or this being, this entity is not one that I can help now.  Or one that I choose to help now.”  

Or, “This lower vibration is out of my field.  I no longer see.  I no longer wish to be visited by vibrations that are of a lower quality.  I am called upon to help those who I can help.  And who have a vibration which will draw me into greater alignment with my spiritual growth.”

Very powerful statements.  Your choices are what determines your path.  So define what you want.  Is this helpful?

—Yeah, it is.  Thank you.—

You are welcome.

—It’s a lot.—

Yes, yes don’t expect yourself to learn all of this.  With support, and you know in time.

Although I can tell you all that if you come and you taste from this water.  And then you leave it.  

And the more frequently you return to the water.  The more you will strengthen in the work that you’re doing.

And we know that this reality is so different than the reality in which you live for the most part.  

It is easy to walk away from these concepts.  And go to a simpler way of being.  We understand this.

And, again, it is not that it is a bad thing.  It is simply a question of you perhaps bringing some consciousness to it.

And say, “I need to be simple today.  I will choose to be domestic today.  I will choose to be reading.”

What you need is valid.  But then say to yourself, “Tomorrow again I will choose whether to visit Spirit again.”  

Or, “I will put a visit to Spirit in my schedule.”  So that you don’t forget.  You don’t get lost from your process.

Which happens for all human beings who don’t have the blessings of a spiritual training that is part of their culture that holds them everyday to their return.

Each of us, our paths are our own.  

Take some deep breaths.  Return to the core of your being.  

Know that tonight has been a great deal of teaching.  

So, in your strength of self receive our love.  Let your self fill with it.  

Let your heart open to your guidance.  

And, may sweetness follow you into the night tonight.  Through your sleeping and your dreaming process.  And into your next day. 

May it surprise you, in turns, in moments.  

May you be given the consciousness to receive the love and the beauty which comes to you from the sacred deep forces which are all around you.  Invisible at times but present.  

Rest well.  Good evening.

Thank you.
