THE CHALLENGES
There is no challenge that comes to any soul anywhere at any time that he cannot handle. For Spirit does not present the problem unless the soul is prepared to face the problem and to correct the problem and to make the proper choice. That the majority of mankind fails to make the proper choice is not the fault of 
Spirit, but of the freewill, mortal, self-indulgence man is prone to on this planet. It will be corrected; it must be corrected; it is being corrected. All parties involved are being put to the test of it.
That you as light workers or potential light workers are perturbed by these tests is, in some way, understandable. But in other ways it is beyond comprehension, since you have been prepared for eons of time to know and to accept the fact that this is the period of time when the tests and the pressure would be to the unbearable breaking point.
Those that do break are those who refuse the I Am Self within and the conscious, hierarchal acceptance of being superseded and superiorly guided by higher forces than their own mortal will and consciousnesses or personality. They are so imbued with the present individuality that they cannot accept or relinquish to the I Am presence within, to dominate the proper actions, the proper thoughts, the proper situations.
So, they fail the tests. This is most regrettable. But it definitely is not your responsibility as teachers, since you are not the conscience of man but are the representative example of what men can accomplish if they will follow your path.
Naturally, they who wish to fail, or don’t wish to adhere to the higher principles, will point out to their teachers and leaders that that path is full of pitfalls and holes and rocks, and much debris in the road. They will give you all kinds of excuses, saying that that path is impassable. Yet, you passed through it. You still stand as the example of being able to traverse that area. Still, their mortal minds and analysis will give every excuse and dislike in order to dislodge you from the firmness of your execution of that which you know to be in truth.
This is in no way unusual. It is the bittersweet example of all who are masters of any condition. It was no different in my time. For, as I revealed slowly and gradually the harsh truths for the race of Israel to face in its own cleansing, more and more defected from the teachings or the belief in the Messiah having arrived.
They waited, they worshipped, they hoped, they prayed, they knew and believed in the Messiah coming. But when the Messiah did come and the Messiah did give forth his judgment of their past, and the truths 
which they knew the Messiah was to bring, higher and greater than ever before, these truths were not palatable unto them. Nor were they convenient to their mortal bearings.
How many times has it been demonstrated that if it is too uncomfortable and too difficult for the status that is desired, then the mortal registers a rationalization of evidence that makes it unacceptable to that particular status and situation?
Light workers, and you who are the externalized parts of the Hierarchy, you no longer may be subjected to undisciplined, disrespectful and unbelieving associations. It has come to pass that your roles and functions are more mortally important than they ever before have been. Therefore, the strength in your functioning is that you adhere to the strictest principles of your Christ unfoldment. This is extremely, urgently, firmly established in our hearts in the etheric levels, in our minds, and executions of sharing with you.
In order that you be prepared, and presented to any other segment of the race consciousness for that which you do know and do believe, you need the firmest, clearest, unshakable foundation. For indeed the Earth is to be shaken, literally and figuratively speaking.
THE PITFALLS
We all are working under great handicaps. We are sorry if we lose any light worker upon the path. But the dangers involved in the climb upward to the peak of conscious understanding, from the physical level, is fraught with major and minor disastrous pitfalls.
These pitfalls are, in many respects, that which the soul has succumbed to in past incarnations. The pitfalls likewise are racial memory patterns. The pitfalls refer also to those experiences which souls who have climbed through those paths on previous occasions created themselves by their own ego evolvements.
So, any soul who is so intuned to the spiritual consciousness, and has become awakened to the cosmic awareness to this degree of the light body and the light program, must become aware of and find danger in those pitfalls which definitely and substantially exist in the areas where the traveling is taking place in consciousness.
Therefore, though you yourself may not succumb, though you yourself have passed through that area before, or though you may not be susceptible to that particular delicate situation or condition involving personality or soul karma, you as a cosmically awakened individual intuned with the Christ consciousness of all men everywhere are put in touch with the experiences of any and all who already have traveled that path.
HOLD TO DIVINE GUIDANCE
Therefore, this is one of the things we refer to by saying unto you: you cannot possibly know, nor can we allow you to become too clearly aware of, the responsibilities, the consciousness of and the abilities of the superconscious mind and the light-body functionings, at least for this immediate period of time.
For, in a great sense, the activities of this area of evolvement are a great deal more complex than anything you ever have experienced in conscious and subconscious evolvement and incarnation upon the physical planet known as Earth, or this third dimensional frequency vibration.
It is not for you to be awakened too suddenly and too much to these faculties, talents and responsibilities. It is unfortunate that many of the teachings or implications of spiritual sciences refer to miracles, instantaneous realizations and that type of absolute fulfillment, regardless of what the individual is going through.
But it is sufficient that you go through the experience, know that it is a disequilibrium of either physical, mental or emotional bodies, also an opening of psychic channels in the body and consciousness and the opening of the astral connections to your light-body anchoring, and still not lose the perspective of continuation or continuity of purpose, goal and functioning as Hierarchal Board representatives, which all light workers must rea
lize, accept and enact.
Instead, it is those who desert the intention and the intellectualized, accepted principles and cannot follow through or fulfill it when the pressure is on — when the challenge occurs — about whom we have to be concerned.
Those are the ones who go through these same difficulties, but are spiritually strong enough to say: “Thy will be done, not my will be done, regardless of what it means to my 
physical body. Even death will not cause me to depart from this dedication and soul understanding of the purpose for which we light workers have come to Earth in this [Latter-Day] period and program. We will carry on. We will hold the vibratory rate that is being introduced through the planetary operation at this time.”
Follow the example in the Garden of Gethsemane and my own crucifixion-resurrection ceremony. It is your Christ mission that you must follow regardless of the consequences. What you are divinely led to do is that which sustains you in any crisis; not the associates around you, the closest disciples, even your own family.
Look at my own case, as an example. As Jesus, I did not have my mother Mary or any of my intimate brothers and sisters sustaining and holding forth their support at my trial, when I had to decide whether or not to let them crucify me.
Those who remain fixed to their hierarchal dedication are part of the one hundred and forty-four thousand we can count on who eventually will hold the entire planetary changeover and the explosion of nuclear power, which then can cause the transmutation from one frequency cycle to another frequency cycle, as shall occur gradually but steadily in order to bring through the Age of Aquarius.

Wow, talk about perfect timing! Spirit’s divine order in manifestation. The other day I was dealing with the frustrations of some soul issues, and I just “happened” to check my e-mail — and lo and behold, here’s this blog entry. It’s like Sananda is saying. “You got a couple of questions? Well, here are a couple of answers!” And indeed, my eyes were opened. Thanks, Spirit!
The Time is Now! STAND UP AND BE COUNTED. Do we believe or don’t we? Do we have faith or don’t we? What more is there and what more do we need to realize the “Oneness of All That Is”? We are given so much constantly! When are we going to get it and “Live and Be” the Love In Action, as exemplified by the Holy Ones, who leave no stone unturned in getting the message across for the good of us all.
Well stated, Solange, just as Nada-Yolanda herself would have said it.
Spirit works in wondrous ways! I came across this long-forgotten channeling by “accident,” while I was researching something else. It struck a harmonious chord, especially given St. Germain’s recent message, “Greater Discipline Required.”
In the last paragraph of “Will You Light Up This World?” I am very concerned, worried to say the least, with Sananda’s words, “the explosion of nuclear power.” I have heard of a nuclear winter, of films and books describing the aftermath of a nuclear holocost, as well as the promise that the archangels and the Hierarchal Board will protect us from a nuclear holocost. Will you please give some further evidence and explanation to give us peace of mind on this subject?
In the context of this communication, the word nuclear does not refer to atomic bombs or wars or holocausts, but should be taken both in its basic dictionary meaning — “of, relating to, or constituting a nucleus” — and in the sense of changing the atomic or “nuclear” structure of life on Earth from the physical, third dimensional frequency into the spiritual, fourth dimensional frequency.
Sananda is referring to the explosion of spiritual light, awakening and awareness that will occur with the anchoring of the higher spiritual vibrations through the 144,000 elect, the “nucleus” of those light workers who are preparing the force field for the Master’s return and for the planet’s full entrance into the new vibrational frequency of the Age of Aquarius, now dawning.
The anchoring of the resurrected, etheric light-body through the elect — those who are elected because they willingly elect or choose to serve the light — is the “leaven in the loaf” to bring about the planetary transformation for the Second Coming. The return of Sananda/Jesus in his light body, as prophesied, will accelerate this mass changeover. (See entry “Second Coming Resurrections.” )
However, you bring up an excellent opportunity to reiterate what the spiritual Hierarchy has channeled through Nada-Yolanda regarding the subject of nuclear war. We addressed this most recently in the July-August 2005 issue of I Am Nation News, in answer to a reader’s question. Here is a reprint of that correspondence:
Intervention by Space Brothers
Question: The communication from Hilarion and Kut Humi on May 23, 2005 [see Contacts from the Fourth Dimension , page 366], states that we “are facing the threat of nuclear disaster.” However, I remember previous channelings saying that the Hierarchy would do all possible to insure that no nuclear weapons would be used. Did I misunderstand this? — H. A.
Answer: Through the years, the ascended masters have channeled via Nada-Yolanda that the space visitors would intervene to prevent a nuclear war or worldwide conflagration. However, that would not necessarily apply to any potential isolated nuclear disaster or accident. It is our understanding that their intervention would only be to prevent a large-scale, planetary atomic war or exchange — as Earth must not be destroyed, at any cost, for the sake of the rest of the solar system. The first reference to this topic is a channeling from Wains on May 18, 1960. See MAPP* to Aquarius , page 39.
Addendum: There are additional references to this in Contacts from the Fourth Dimension. The ascended masters and the space visitors also are doing all in their power to thwart other dangerous mishaps or terrorist acts, whether nuclear, chemical or biological. We light workers on Earth, of course, join wholeheartedly in these spiritual projections for protection.
Humble thanks! So happy that I could be a tiny bit like Nada-Yolanda.
