All this hard stuff that we're facing is a gateway unto one's wholeness, healthfulness, and good. By being the essence of God, the good, we set forth to demonstrate through Christ's consciousness our unwavering faith that all things work out in all life's challenges and blessings.
Life has a way of handing us more than we think we can carry. There are times when the demands of family, work, and the world around us feel like they are pressing in from all sides. Our schedules fill up, our minds race, and the soul feels buried under a mountain of too much. I know we are in this together. That's why community is so important. Nearly everyone I've spoken with lately has shared a sense of being stretched, heavy, or overwhelmed. It's not just personal. It's the unconscious patterns of humanity arising to the surface. Old wounds, fears, and conflicts are being exposed not to punish us, but so they can finally be healed.
[00:25:08]
Even if we are not directly involved with what's happening in the news or the world stage, we feel it. The collective field of grief, uncertainty, and unrest touches us energetically. It's like sympathetic resonance. When one string vibrates nearby, strings begin to hum. We are those strings connected in the larger web of life. And so we feel the tremors of the world.
[00:26:09]
I think it's important for me to remind you one of the really important foundational truths in unity is that we honor our oneness with all people, regardless of their religion or their race, their ethnicity, their sexual orientation, or gender identity. Unity is one about honoring everybody and everyone for exactly who they are. And we also see them as whole and perfect just as they are, regardless of any of those aspects, because we all have the divine spark, the divine light within us. And none of these things separates us.
[00:26:39]
How important is it to be right versus peaceful? That's a really important question to ask ourselves. It might make you uncomfortable choices other people make. But ultimately, our work here is to grow the soul that we have between us and God. Not creating separation, but inviting in deep vulnerability of the truth of who we are and getting to express so completely ourselves.
[00:28:57]
Did you know that on a vibrational level, most people think that love is the highest vibration to carry? But did you know the actual highest vibration you can carry is authenticity? Think about that. Take that into your heart. So authenticity means we get to be what we're guided to be. And we're not made wrong for it. We're right in all the ways that we're feeling as long as it's not hurting anybody else. We get to authentically be who we are. And then we get to express authentically who we really are. And that's the expression of light and love for this world. It's God through you.
[00:29:30]
We are the access point. We are the ones that share that love of God in this world. And we can't do that if people are repressing us to say, but you have to do it this way so that God will accept you. There's a certain way you have to express for you to fit within the the rule bank of what God would want and do.
[00:30:17]
So sometimes it feels like life gives us more than we can handle. But spirit reminds us that we are never carrying it alone. Divine strength meets us in the very moment we think we can't go any further. This moment in history, with all its turbulence, is also a moment of awakening. What rises to the surface can be transformed. What feels unbearable can be transmuted into deeper compassion, resilience, and faith. And together, as a community, as a collective consciousness, we have the power to anchor peace, light, and love into the field that surrounds us all.
[00:32:38]
Aim with your heart, steer with your mind, and act as if you have already arrived. That's the biggest one, right? That's the ultimate visualization or affirmation that we can hold is that we become the alignment. We become the vibrational energy of the person that would receive all of these things that we are desiring in our life. We have to see it so clearly resolved that we become that vibration and then the universe meets us there, right?
[00:34:22]
We do not have to submit to wrong states of mind. So it's saying we have the opportunity to change what we're telling ourselves and what we're thinking about something and what we're sharing with others about it because we have dominion over our thoughts. You know, through thoughts, words, and actions, we live the truth we know. That's the fifth principle of unity. So we are the catalyst. We are the container. We are the vessel that creates what we're seeing in our life.
[00:35:44]
Most of the time, the biggest bully in our life is ourselves on ourselves. We're getting frustrated that we can't come up to all that is being asked of us, and we're just coming up a little short everywhere, or we're not facing our fear enough to step into the thing we know we're supposed to do, but we just can't seem to get the grit to step out of our comfort zone and grab hold of an opportunity that's in our life right now because we're afraid that we're going to fall or we're going to fail, and yet we're having the same life because they're not willing to step out in faith that there's something so divinely in that thing that's there and open to your challenge right here that's asking you to step through that fear and find the love and the courage to go towards this thing that scares you because usually the thing that scares you is actually a calling, is actually a dharma, is actually a karma, is a thing that needs to be overcome.
[00:37:16]
The big challenge of life is our own life. We are the ones we're taking on, so that means we have to let go of old stories, and we have to let go of limited feelings about oneself, and stop pointing out at all the horror out there. Find the things that need to be tackled within, and make yourself, you can participate and do something about out there when you take the task yourself and become the greatest and the most bright and the most beautiful version, and let everybody be donned on that light that surrounds you, and then that is a collective, and that's how consciousness moves like a ripple, right?
[00:38:36]
When overwhelm hits, our tendency is to believe the outer storm has more power than our inner peace, but Fillmore reminds us that we are not victims of circumstances. We are expressions of divine order, so this thing, this catalyst that's sitting there, that's your divine order. That's the divine flow. That thing, that phone call that you make to make to that person, or that boss that you need to talk to, and say, I deserve to make more money, or that situation where you're like, ugh. Don't go talk to all your friends about it. Don't try to get the wisdom of others in the big things that you have to face. Get into the silence. Five minutes of silence is the most powerful thing you can do, and just breathe out there. Just become an empty vessel, and that's where divine revelation happens.
[00:39:19]
You will get a courage. You will get a divine idea of how to step into this something that makes you nervous, or makes you afraid, and you just keep going in that silence every time you see fear speaking to realign with love, and a love for oneself, and knowing that you are a divine child of God, and therefore nothing can hurt me, make me afraid, and nothing can be taken from me. When we really know that, then we extend that kind of light out in this world, because nobody's out to get us then, and we're also not out to get anybody else either.
[00:40:14]
That is you when you're aligned in the highest state of consciousness. That's the Christ idea that Charles was talking about in the quote before. Peace be still and know that I am God. Peace be still and know. We know I am is the word of God. I am God. I am the conduit. I am the channel. I am the one that is the vehicle of God. So peace be still and allow for that current of love, of light, of the ethereal realm to move in and through your experience and use you to that perfect cord that is being asked for all of you. These things that are coming up in your face are your teacher, are your challenger, and also your strength.
[00:42:12]
Our third principle in unity says we are co -creators with God, creating reality through thoughts held in mind. So let's take an inventory right now. What are some of the thoughts that have been held in your mind right now with this very challenge that you're facing? What have been your thoughts around it? Has it been like I'm a victim and this stuff always happens to me, or my good is all behind me, things used to be always so much better in the past, the victim, or is it I just don't can't take another thing? These are all the little things you put out there, and you know what we're saying the universe is we can't take another thing, and so guess what we're going to get? Another thing.
[00:43:10]
Our second principle says this, our essence is of God, therefore we are inherently good. This God essence was fully expressed in Jesus the Christ, so we are one with the Christ. So this God essence was fully expressed, and we can fully express this because we are good. Is anybody holding a message in themselves that they're not good? That you're still harboring that you are bad? Because somehow you've just messed up your life. Because every day is a new opportunity. Every day is your chance to completely heal the trajectory of what you are facing. Every day is a call to newness.
[00:44:33]
The storm didn't define him. His consciousness defined the storm. Let's hear that again. This is the metaphysical breakdown of this, okay? So he said, peace be still, which is the Christ consciousness, which is within each and every one of us. The storm didn't define him. His consciousness defined the storm. So that takes our powerlessness out of it, right? Even the storm, we can quiet. These things that we think are so out of hand, and we can't get in control of, this hard relationship, this situation where it just seems like this person is out to get you, and undermining you, and taking your power away from you, and whatever, whatever power you're giving this situation, you are the Christ consciousness that can quiet that storm without even a conversation, because you energetically can move things.
[00:46:40]
You have to believe it to see it. This is faith. This is asking us to step into a higher state of consciousness and recognizing we have a divine connection with something greater than you can ever imagine, and you have a power to take hold of that light, of that love.
[00:48:07]
You agreed to be here now for a reason, and that reason is you promised you would angel up at this time. You promised you would realize you are an ascended master on earth. You came to earth to become the light at this time of earth's ascension, to become the source of unconditional love for others because you have awakened to the understanding that unconditional love flows through you at all times from your God source. This means you are never lacking in love. You are never unloved. You're always brimming with the love and eager to spread that unconditional love to others.
[00:50:41]
We know that when we're praying for others and we're in intentional prayer, that it's also taking care of everything that we have a prayer for ourselves as well. It's that connectivity of spirit moving through us that it actually brings us blessings just as strongly back to us in our giving. So these circles are a way of angeling up together, choosing to be the love, the light, and the healing presence we came here to embody.
