Motah Chronicles | by Phillel

Mark-Age produces many wonderful books, but this one is among the best (perhaps the best). I had read it many, many years ago and liked it. Now that the book has been reissued, I’ve read it again and like it even better. Like all spiritual books, you never get everything from just one reading. (My teacher, Isidore Friedman, used to say that any real spiritual book needs a minimum of seven readings.)

The book starts off with a koan-like statement. If you want to do all things, you must first realize that you, of yourself, can do nothing! That’s right. Spirit (God) is always the doer. Actions can happen through you (but not necessarily) but these actions are also the “side effect” of the working of Spirit. Once a person realizes that Spirit is the doer and drops all personal responsibility for the doing, he or she can do all things. At least in theory.

Before one can start to “do all things” there is much psychological “waste product” — sewage — that needs to be cleared. These wastes will obstruct the flow of spiritual power through the person — and by the same law that produces manifestation, will produce “anti-manifestation.” So these things need to be cleared out — a big job — and instructions are given for how to do this. (It is a day-by-day, moment-by-moment process.)

The other key element in “doing all things” is learning to identify with your spiritual nature. It is your own spiritual nature that “does all things” and is capable of more than a person can imagine. This too is a long-term process and much psychological debris needs to be cleared.

There is so much knowledge and information packed into this work that no review can do it justice. There is a discussion of the many levels and types of prayer. There is teaching on how to pray effectively. And, how to arrive at the ultimate stage of prayer — decreeing that such and such a thing shall happen. The more a person evolves spiritually, the greater his or her use of spiritual power will be.

The section on “50 How-To’s” is perhaps the best in the book. Here there is practical spiritual instruction for dealing with almost any problem one can have in life — healing, supply, love, the attainment of peace, and much more.

This is channeled material given by the master El Morya though Mark Age (Charles Boyd Gentzel). In general it is good to be a bit skeptical of channeled material. But this is authentic. If a person puts these teachings into practice, they will see results. Ultimately we worship truth — wherever it may come from.

It should also be mentioned that this is the kind of book you read prayerfully. You read it from the heart and not just the mind. If you take a purely intellectual approach to it, you will miss 90% of the message.

Highly recommendable to both beginners and advanced students. There is something here for everyone.

Book Review #1: How To Do All Things

May 26, 2018 / Phillel / 2 Comments

Review by Hercules Invictus, Editor, Pride of Olympus

How To Do All Things

by El Morya/Mark Age

One of my favorite metaphysical tomes has recently been updated and re-released in a shiny, new and cosmic blue edition!

How To Do All Things is a tightly knit tome and all the information it presents simultaneously rests firmly upon and greatly expands every other piece of information contained therein.

This hologram of a book is well worth reading, from cover to cover, for it gifts the reader with practical and time-tested tools for recognizing his own divine nature, establishing a working relationship with Spirit Itself, and becoming an active agent in the unfolding of the spiritual Hierarchy’s divine plan for humanity.

The Mark Age was the period between 1960 to 2000, a forty-year span of time that helped wrap up the old Age of Pisces and prepare humanity for living in the new Aquarian Age. This period of transition, turbulence and transmutation assisted us with expanding our awareness much deeper into fourth dimensional levels of perception. We currently find ourselves experiencing the rough aftermath of this cosmic disruption.

Nada-Yolanda and El Morya, both cosmic beings well known to ascensionists, incarnated as Mark-Age cofounders Charles Boyd Gentzel (El Morya/Mark Age) and Pauline Sharpe (Nada-Yolanda) to anchor Unit #7 of the Hierarchal Board here on Gaia expressly for this purpose. Though Mark and Yolanda of the Sun are no longer with us, their legacy remains. And part of their legacy is this slender yet highly concentrated spiritual guidebook.

How To Do All Things was penned by El Morya/Mark Age. It begins by thoroughly orientating the seeker to the purpose, history and organizational structure of Mark-Age.

Seven is a sacred and significant number to Unit #7 of the Hierarchal Board, as it is to the Olympian Starseeds Initiative, so it is no surprise that the first leg of your journey begins with “Seven Steps for Gaining Full Use of Divine Power.” Partnership with the All is the cornerstone of the Mark-Age path, and the implications of your decision to partner are examined and explained from a variety of angles and vantage points.

The second section explores “100 Spiritual Truths,” beginning with “The Basis of Everything: God Is.”

The third section of this four-part text by Mark-Age consists of “50 How-To’s,” the first of which is “How To Do All Things.” This is actually my favorite part of the book, as it contains simple suggestions and practical techniques for applying all that you’ve learned in your daily life.

Section IV, “How To Pray,” is only six pages long, but it provides you with everything you need to turbo-charge your communications with the One beyond all multiplicities. The text concludes with suggestions on what to study next and a handy Glossary.

How To Do All Things certainly delivers on the promise of its premise, and though totally self-contained it serves as an excellent introduction to the Mark-Age revelations.

I tip my metaphysical hat to Phillel (Philip J. Jacobs) for gifting us with this new edition of How To Do All Things and for keeping the light of Mark-Age alive and shining bright during this tumultuous time of transition.

Symphonic Harmony

May 19, 2018 / Phillel / 1 Comment

by Nada-Yolanda

DURING AN INNER PLANE COMMUNION with Sananda at our Hierarchal Board meditation on April 9, 1975, he conveyed to me that we, the light workers in these Latter Days, should help “create a symphonic harmony” in our spiritual demonstrations on Earth. I looked up those words in our dictionary to be sure I had not missed any nuance of their meanings.

Symphony: A large and complex composition for a full orchestra utilizing every type of musical instrument.

Harmony: Marked by accord either in sentiments or in actions or both. A pleasing arrangement of all parts. Internal calm.

The dictionary says every instrument is used in a symphony if it is needed. Therefore, every one of us instruments or agents of Spirit can be used and is equally important to the whole, even if the amount of time and attention given is not equal. The purpose is for either a feeling or an activity, or both, that pleases all parts and creates internal calm.

Balance, calm, integration, harmony, unity, oneness: are not all these the goals for which we are striving in our demonstration of loving God and loving one another?

Seven Points for Creating Symphonic Harmony

Sananda indicated there are at least seven ways in which we are to apply symphonic harmony.

FIRST: There are seven major and five minor keys in creating symphonic harmony.

SECOND: Within each individual person, the major and the minor chakra centers must be harmonized for full Christ consciousness.

THIRD: There are other beings, those also in I Am consciousness, with whom we must synchronize in symphonic harmony during the time we play our individual roles or parts on the Earth planet.

FOURTH: There are all the other elements and life forms on the planet with whom we are in constant exchange and contact, and who likewise consciously or unconsciously must be harmonized into our vibratory frequencies in order to play out the symphony of Earth.

FIFTH: Our own past histories, our personal soul records, plus the past experiences of mankind as a whole on Earth, must come into symphonic harmony before this era is completed. That is part of what the Latter Days are all about: discarding that which has been discordant and inharmonious to man’s progress on Earth, and replaying and solidifying those notes which add to his progress and spiritual existence.

SIXTH: We cannot neglect those of other dimensions, planes or planets who try to communicate with us of Earth or who aid us as guides and guardians in our soul progress here. They are part of the symphonic harmony through whom we play our particular instruments. Perhaps they represent only one note in all our time here. On the other hand, they might be responsible for an entire theme in the present orchestration that is resounding throughout the Earth.

SEVENTH: The last concept Sananda presented to me during this meditation, but certainly not the last in the series of cosmic principles to which this theme can be applied, is that in developing a symphonic harmony we must give great attention, respect and appreciation to the conductor or the director, who at this moment in Earth’s history has to control or to direct all the parts, all the themes, all the instruments playing individually and thinking independently.

Some of them unfortunately consider themselves stars or separate from the whole orchestration. It is the director of the orchestra who must coordinate and hold together each independent instrument, bringing in his or her note or theme of the composition at just the right time in order not to upset the desired harmony of this symphony.

It is the conductor’s responsibility to represent the composer’s desired overall intention. And although each instrumentalist, whether he plays but one dramatic note or carries an entire theme throughout all movements of the symphony, truly may comprehend the composer’s intentions and the subtle nuances of the symphony being played, only the chosen conductor for that particular performance may make the final and decisive decisions. An orchestra, an army, a solar system cannot function with each of its parts determining separately and independently when to play, how loudly to play, and with what other instruments it is to play during the composition.

Applying the Cosmic Principles

Indeed, it was almost dizzying for all of us on the staff to contemplate Sananda’s presentation at that meditation. And I have only presented to you seven of the major highlights here for consideration.

He indicated to us that each of the seven points in itself is important. But to try to hold all seven simultaneously, and to apply them equally with due appreciation for them, is beyond mortal capacity. This, he said, is a lesson in cosmic consciousness and Christ mastership, so all can see and can appreciate that there is more to I Am consciousness than just getting up to, reaching the outer perimeters of, that awareness.

In later meditations on the same cosmic theme, Sananda told us there are 144,000 component parts (or instruments) needed to transmute any species or form from one dimensional frequency to another. The same macrocosmic principle applies to the microcosmic instrument or individual. So, in order for light workers to transmute successfully their physical bodies to the light-body frequency, they must transmute 144,000 component centers in the brain. The brain, of course, is the control center for the entire body and its functions. [See Mark-Age text Anchoring the Light Body on Earth. ]

Interchange of Functions

What is fascinating about this is the information that any one of the parts or instruments can take on the characteristics of, or can play the tune for, whatever elemental change is necessary. You might use an analogy like this: If you were a master musician in an orchestra, and one of the major players were indisposed or dropped out, you would be able to take up his instrument and play his part temporarily until he recovered or was replaced. So it seems Spirit, in Its infinite variety, can work through individuals or through the elements which It originally created.

This information had been given to us previously through some channeled discourses, which are published in our book MAPP* to Aquarius: *Mark Age Period and Program.

On October 9, 1963, in “Interchange of Hierarchal Board Functions,” Sananda stated: “Under the governmental system which we follow in our particular solar system, a mastership group known sometimes as the White Lodge, the White Brotherhood, the Ascended Masters Council — name it what you will, the Hierarchal Board for this solar system — one works as any other would work, interchanging roles and functions, placing themselves where there can be representation of consciousness. . . .

“An ascended master or a member of the Hierarchal Board of this solar system is equally responsible to each other one who has achieved that level of consciousness, that role, that designation; or that honor, if you so choose. It therefore becomes an accepted fact and pleasure for one to intercede for another. Where one master works, any other master may work, if so decreed and desired by the spiritual intunement within.

“Whereas I have been assigned as spiritual ruler of this planet and one of seven guardians within this solar system, each and every other planetary ruler and seven masters who guard and guide this solar system’s evolution can and will step in, functioning for and with my power and my position. When I as a representation of one phase — or with duties, you might put it in Earth terms — for the seven in the Council cannot express presently that particular function or role in a way that may be needed by the majority in the orbit or frequency that corresponds to what you would call a planet or dimension, a plane of existence, another may step in and perform functions that are more suitable or that fulfill his or her office within the solar system.”

Again Sananda spoke to us five years later, on September 24, 1968. In “Let the Christs Express in You,” he channeled: “In the etheric, as you have been told on many occasions, any master can utilize the functions and abilities of any other master and his disciples, provided it is according to the will and the proper development of all concerned.

“So, since we are accustomed to passing in and through each other’s environment and responsibilities, lending to each other whatever is required to fulfill a certain duty or participation in the program of Earth evolvement, we expect to do the same on the lower realms; and in fact are doing so many times in many ways. But what we have not given and have not asserted ourselves to prior to this [communication] is that there are many who are to become conscious of this acceleration, this transmutation and these multiple faculties. . . .

“It is through these very channels that it becomes an enlightened fact. So, if you are a child of truth and light and justice and will endeavor to raise your sights to your own spirituality and function as a Christed being in this very troubled and tortured Earth, then you may give proper allowance to any other of similar spiritual development and growth to become part of you, to work through you, to participate and to add to your God-given purposes.”

Thus it is that our transmutation becomes more and more accelerated. In your meditations, think in how many ways you can create symphonic harmony in yourself, in your relationships, in your environment, and for all the species who are involved in the planet during these end days, going from third dimensional frequency into fourth dimensional light or spiritual consciousness.

Demand the Truth

April 18, 2018 / Phillel

by El Morya/Mark

BROADCASTERS AND ALL OTHER WORKERS OF LIGHT here and on other planes, the subject of this broadcast, “Demand the Truth,” is one that is of importance to us now and for the rest of the program; as a matter of fact, throughout eternity. But it won’t be the problem in other realms, in higher planes that it has been and is now on Earth.

This broadcast is a most important one. Let us explore a few of the ways in which we can work effectively as light workers, seekers and workers in truth to bring this into mass consciousness, to make it effective on Earth at this time.

First of all, in speaking of demanding the truth, we have to realize this applies to us also. In this work, we are not going to demand that everyone tell every intimate truth about himself or herself, present or past; whatever he or she has been thinking or doing.

But rather, we demand that the truth of information, the truth of all important things that are to be available to man for the revelations in this Latter-Day period be given out and accepted by man of Earth, so he can be raised into a higher consciousness and into the fourth dimensional spiritual frequency vibration. Thus he will know the truth he has to work with, and will not have to base his life, thoughts, actions, everything he thinks and does, on errors or half-truths.

Therefore, let’s not be afraid that in demanding the truth of all others we are going to have to bare all of our secrets. This is not the point, any more than we would want others to do the same thing; for each person must have privacy. We should not do anything of major moment that we would be that much ashamed of, were it revealed. Nevertheless, it is not the purpose to have all personal matters revealed.

Demand Truth of Self

Therefore, in what is it that we want to demand truth? First of all, be ready at all times to admit to the truth in important things in your own life. This means, first of all, to admit the truth to yourself, the things you know are true. The things on which you want others to base their thoughts and actions to, with and for you must be truth.

Therefore, you must know within your consciousness, within your thinking, within your actions what is truth. Demand the truth of yourself. Let us put that Self with a capital S; which means it is the truth the I Am Self within knows that is to be made manifest within your life.

It is true that all of us have done things in this life and in prior lives that we wish we had not done, or that we would not want revealed, or something of that nature. But sooner or later, as we well know — those of us in the light work who are unfolding into I Am citizens — we must face up to these things we have done wrong or which are not the truth, and get on the right road. Once we have done that it is easy, much easier than is expected by us when we are on the path of error.

Let us keep that same thing in mind and project it out to others. It is not all that hard to admit the truth and then to accept it and then to work with it. So, please, all of you in the mass consciousness, give up the idea that there is some tremendous loss of pride, or that you are going to suffer great consequences if you do give the truth at all times and live it. Demand the truth of yourself, demand the truth of others, those of you who have family, friends, who have influence in politics, business, anything of any nature. Demand the truth of yourself, demand the truth of all other persons, at all times and in all things.

Let us take a few examples of this; just a few because, as in all of these broadcasts, these are only stimuli to help you do your own thinking and individual broadcasting. We do not believe in doing all of these things by rote in Mark-Age. You never will have a series of decrees where you have to decree something three times or a hundred times, loudly and emphatically. Those really are worthless and meaningless; have no value themselves.

Rather, we want you to become intuned with your own high Self on topics which not only we provide for you to think about and work with but which come to you from your own high Self consciousness to project into the mass consciousness from these broadcasts. So, let us take a few examples of demanding the truth.

Truth in Personal Relationships

We all, unfortunately, have had situations where friends, neighbors, so-called enemies, other people tell stories about us that are not true or are only partially true, or that tend to make us look in a bad light and to make them look in a good light, no matter what the purpose, be it politics, business, social prominence or gain, envy, jealousy, any of these things.

Demand the truth. Demand that the people who are talking about you in the wrong way learn the truth, understand the truth, accept the truth, and therefore do not have these false concepts; at least not based on error information which they are giving out or are receiving from other people. Demand the truth.

Obviously, we cannot demand the truth in person in this and other situations I will mention, and others about which you will think. That is, it is not always good to go up to a person and demand that he tell you the truth about himself or about you or about what he is doing. There are times when this has to be done. But, as in all of our work, we can do so much on the inner planes by mentally sending forth this visualization, this decree that what we want to have done will be done; or, what Spirit wants done, which could be better or something different. Nevertheless, we have to make the projection, to put it into effect.

We can do this mentally quite often. We should demand that someone who is telling false stories about us, or who is accepting false stories about us, know the truth. We should demand the truth in his or her thinking. Let us begin this in our own lives and see if it will make a difference.

When we demand the truth of someone who has been spreading malicious stories about us or who has been accepting such, we must be willing to give those people the opportunity to make amends in their thinking and actions. Let us just turn them off completely thereafter if they do not do so.

Whenever we work in such things as this, let us keep ourselves open to the side results, the additional things that would come into play that we could think about, that would relate to whatever we are doing. This would expand our consciousness and our thinking, and make us more aware of what we are doing in all things, give us a much more expanded vision of all these matters.

Truth in All Things

Let us project this out into the world at large; and the things we would like to see, things done much better, where we demand the truth be given to all people.

ADVERTISING: Let us start with advertising for products. No matter what form of media is presented to us or in what way it is presented, let us demand the truth. We are all too familiar with, unfortunately — though probably not well enough aware in all things — how the truth is bent or distorted or half-truths are given to us in much advertising. Some particular medicine or drug is supposed to be the best of all, or to be more effective than others, when in reality many times it is no different or different only in a minor way that is of no real value. But it is being sold to us as though it is the greatest thing there is. Demand the truth.

There is nothing that says people have to sell products or make fortunes by spreading that which is error or by deliberately hiding the truth. Tell the truth, demand the truth, in all these things.

POLITICS: We certainly are tired of being told by so many politicians one thing — no matter what country it might be in or what form of government — and then finding out they are telling us falsehoods. They are representing us. Let us demand the truth in politics.

BUSINESS & NEWS: Demand the truth in every aspect of business. Demand the truth in the news that is given to us, no matter what way or in what media or for what purpose. Demand the truth.

SPIRITUAL MATTERS: Let us demand the truth for people of Earth in religion, in spiritual matters. No more shall man of Earth be submitted to that which is error or to that which is part truth, by one religion claiming it is the only one, the only method of salvation or of reaching God, when they really do not know too much of what they are speaking. Demand that the leaders of religion be truthful in what they are teaching people.

ALL THINGS: Look about you in your daily activities. Look about you in whatever you are thinking or are being subjected to in any way. Let your imagination, your vision extend throughout all activities of mankind on Earth. Let us demand the truth; for we are in the Latter Days when all things shall be revealed to man of Earth that are necessary for each one individually and for us collectively as the race of man on Earth to come into the higher consciousness. Demand the truth, and the truth shall set us free.

Joy of Tithing

April 11, 2018 / Phillel

Put Your Divine Love into Action

The joy of giving regularly a percentage of your income to support a spiritual cause, referred to as tithing (literally, to give a tenth part), is based on sound spiritual principle: as you give selflessly, so you receive freely of Spirit’s unlimited bounty to fulfill all needs for your soul mission on Earth.

Spiritual masters throughout the ages have taught the divine law of give-and-take. The key? One must give first in order to receive. As you open wide your arms to serve others outside yourself, including with financial supply, you unlock Spirit’s magnetic floodgates! The divine love you radiate, through giving, attracts all supply that you, too, personally need as a Christed being.

At Mark-Age, we are grateful that many of you faithfully apply this principle each month. Your tax-deductible love offerings of $25, $50, $100, or more, sustain our physical operation, just as your prayers help sustain our spiritual mission to prepare all on Earth for the Second Coming. The two actions, physical and spiritual, go hand in hand. Both maintain the free energy circulation — the vital lifeblood — that is essential to externalize the I Am Nation on Earth prior to Sananda/Jesus’ return.

If you have not yet discovered the magnificent key of tithing to support spiritual works, we encourage you try an experiment. See for yourself. Freely give what you can. Not only will you find immeasurable joy in knowing that you are serving Sananda’s needs for the I Am Nation — helping to keep his work alive on Earth — but you also will unlock wondrous new manifestations in your personal service to God and humanity.

Give first, then receive: that is the divine law. Put your divine love into action today!

God blesses you, and so do we!

Book Review: Working in the Light

March 24, 2018 / Phillel / 1 Comment

Book review by Phillel, Editor, I Am Nation News

Published in I Am Nation News #117, March-April 2018

Working in the Light: Daily Reflections

by Starsha Dawn

Faced with the pressing challenges of our changing world, every light worker has been called to perform an essential mission: work daily in the light, stay focused on the light, be the light of the spiritual Self.

In her groundbreaking new book, Working in the Light: Daily Reflections, Starsha Dawn invites the reader to join her on a yearlong mission to project light and love to heal and uplift the Earth as we enter the New Age of Aquarius.

“Our duty as stewards of the earth,” she writes, “is to take care of it, cleanse its wounds, and help it to rise to a higher state as we all rise in our spirituality and our love.”

Drawing upon more than fifty years of experience in metaphysical studies, Starsha guides us on a personal, daily journey. Working in the Light presents a project for each day of the calendar year. The 366 entries, each one less than a page in length, offer an astounding range of thought-provoking insights, creative visualizations, inspiring stories and observations, spiritual mini-essays, illuminating “aha” moments, and light-worker calls to action.

Every topic is a radiant gem through which to focus your light and love.

“I use the concept of directing God’s light to a situation,” Starsha explains, “actually seeing in my mind what a better world looks like.” She urges us to reflect a few minutes each day on a specific topic of spiritual discovery and powerful, creative application of the light. “Together, our focus can help our earth to move into a new age of peace and a time when the lion will truly lie down with the lamb.”

Certainly, the reader will find amplified power in unifying with other light workers who are training their thoughts and prayers on the same project on the same day. Working in the Light delivers a daily dose of inspiration for coordinated spiritual action.

Yet, the book also doubles as an aid for your I Am attunement at any time, regardless of calendar date. You can sit for a few moments in quiet meditation, then open the book and let Spirit guide your attention to a particular entry.

Time Needed to Develop as a Light Worker

March 5, 2018 / Phillel

by Nada-Yolanda

ON FEBRUARY 21, 1960, El Morya/Mark and I joined in a spiritual pact to begin the Mark-Age Unit. On that day of our covenant with God, when we pledged to give every ounce of ourselves physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually, we consciously knew and understood only perhaps ten percent of what was expected of us, what was involved in the hierarchal program, and from where our material resources would come. Truly it was ten percent knowledge and experience, and the other ninety percent faith.

In the intervening years together we have seen hundreds of thousands of people informed of the new, incoming Age of Aquarius, and accepting the ending of the old age and the fact that we are living in the long-prophesied Latter Days. Thousands have turned from ridicule and skepticism to firm belief that the planet is engaged in the final Battle of Armageddon.

In these past years we have worked with, and have counseled, personally hundreds of potential light workers and leaders. That is what this broadcast is about. What does it take, what is involved; and what is expected of one who believes he or she is, and sincerely professes to be, a chosen light worker, leader and teacher?

A light worker is one who is willing and able to put all of his or her efforts into perfecting the mortal vehicle so it can externalize the light of the I Am Self in this time and place now; one who will use the light, will be the light and will express the light which is God.

This kind of dedication requires diligence, perseverance, constant cleansings and changes, discipline, and the desire for and the acceptance of spiritual guidance from those who have passed through the same type of challenges and have demonstrated that they have conquered those challenges.

This breed of soul on Earth today is what Mark-Age is all about. To paraphrase Sananda in his last life as Jesus: these are the ones who are of my flock, the flock knows its shepherd, and the shepherd is responsible only to his own flock.

Many beginners or those who read a little about the New Age, about the Mark-Age program specifically, about the Second Coming of the Master of this planet, and about each one’s own second coming of Christ consciousness assume the way is easy and the road to this heaven is as quick and direct as a freeway. Yes, indeed, they also think the way is free; free from responsibility, free from effort, free from cost. It is not any of these things.

Time is perhaps one of the most costly tolls on this road; and expediency has been the downfall of the majority of not program workers but light workers, according to the definition given here. So, I am going to try to share with you here, from the agony of our own work and observations over the years, the time elements involved in being a dedicated and determined light worker for the I Am Nation being made manifest now on Earth through Mark-Age.

This is not being given to discourage anyone from starting on this road. Mark and I both hope the road map we outline will encourage and will excite many hundreds more to start. The time is shortened now for the elect’s sake. But that does not mean the time is short for the trip to cosmic consciousness and light-worker expression. It means the time left on this planet for the road to be opened for travelers has been shortened. For those of us who are on the road or are nearing the end of our journeys are road sick and travel weary.

Starting a New Life

To begin, let us be honest and fair. This is an alien route. There are not many other people on it. You may travel many miles and endless days, weeks, months or years before you meet a fellow traveler. So, it is lonely.

There are few way stations where you can get proper fuel. I know there are many glittering signs along the road promising all kinds of phenomena and gimmicks. You may even have to stop off at a few to convince yourself that shortcuts and easy systems are con games or are enticements back to the old, familiar road.

It takes a full year, minimum, to get the hang of this new-road system. When you first learn to drive a car or a plane, your instructor tells you that until you get the feel of the vehicle, it will continue to be a strain and an alien machine. That is what I am referring to here. It takes no less than a year to get the right feeling and smooth, automatic reflexes on this new road.

Your body, mind, emotions and soul patterns are not accustomed to this roadway. It is made of a different substance. Its requirements and road signs are not the same as on the old, mortal road you have been traveling not only in this incarnation but perhaps in many past ones as well.

The road rules and regulations are not the same. The road signs are written in another language. The police personnel enforcing those laws are not the same, nor do they act the same, as those to whom you have been accustomed. This police force might have been your parents, your family, a special teacher or an honored prophet or leader. But on this roadway a different type of law-enforcement agency is working. If you think your mortal guardians have been strict and expect discipline, you have seen nothing yet.

Persons who think they enter into spiritual works and organizations in order to escape from discipline, rules, laws and supervisors are greatly mistaken. On the contrary, my dear friends and fellow light workers, the spiritual pathway has stringent guidelines. It is very narrow and straight. There is less room here to make a mistake than on the other road. Do not enter by thinking you have found Easy Street.

Anyone who enters into full-time functioning — in all departments of life: physical, mental, soul and spiritual aspects — as a light worker finds the discipline and the requirements, the adjustment period of that first year, to be among the most difficult in all years of living on Earth. Partly this is because of the extreme difference in the climate, the rhythm, the substance of the spiritual life, as opposed to the mortal ways of doing and thinking about things.

So, before you even set foot on this road and start that first step toward full-time living as a spiritual being on the Earth planet, accept this warning. Everything in your life is subject to complete change: the way you think, the people you relate to and want to continue to associate with, the desires and the needs to satisfy your bodily functions, the emotional reactions for which you may have developed a certain formula or a crystallized set of rules, and now, the most difficult of all, the revelations in your soul record.

Although there is no prescribed or formalized pattern or time schedule, what I am trying to express is an approximation of time and the sequence of events as they generally unfold for the majority of light workers with whom Mark and I have had personal association.

Revelations of Your Soul Record

The second to the fourth years of full-time devotion and dedication to spiritual life usually are the most horrendous and challenging. For all the impacted, crystallized patterns set into the soul record, either because of repeated experiences or because of some traumatic shock which set the mold, come forth into the conscious awareness for review.

Just because a pattern in the soul record is repeated does not make it necessarily bad. It may be something for your individualized service and purpose as a being of God. But whether it is a good and desirable pattern or one that needs to be dissolved and removed from the record, the light worker must examine its worthiness and value and make a conscious decision about it.

Once you have a year’s experience working in and for and with the light of truth, you are obligated to look at all things in your own subconscious, soul memory on a conscious, analytical and objective level. If you still can maintain personal integrity, determination and balance of mind, body and soul during this process of intensive reexamination and reanalysis, then you have passed the halfway mark on the road to I Am service.

Notice I did not say you have it made or that you are now home free. It is at this station break on the spiritual highway — and I purposely intend that as a double entendre, as the way of the high Self — where you may begin to receive your personal mission and individualized service to the whole race of man, the Christ body, and to the hierarchal plan externalized for this planet and the solar system.

Glimpses of this halfway station you are entitled to get before this, and most assuredly you will get many of those in order to keep you moving along on this straight and narrow road. But specific road maps and dependable guidelines and information simply cannot be obtained before you reach this area. You have to prove your ability to maneuver your vehicle on this highway before you are given such a map.

Undoubtedly, everyone can understand the wisdom of this. Giving such a detailed and specific map to those who have not prepared sufficiently, have not road tested their endurance and vehicles, or who may have some mechanical problem in remaining on this special highway, can be hazardous beyond calculation.

But most traveling this first lap of the journey — at least to Mark’s and my experiences — seem to be blind to this inbuilt precaution. Most seem to want to leap ahead without fulfilling the basic requirements and training period necessary. This is the main purpose in giving this broadcast: to help assure the sincere and the dedicated that it does take time, and there are many intermediate steps, before the final map and instructions are released.

Learning Your Spiritual Mission

The next three or four years after the first four can involve the tests and the trials of learning the new information and the specific, individual service each one is able to perform. There are some of I Am development who are meant to bring forth healing, channeling of communications, or counseling and teaching of others. Some are meant to be writers or group leaders. Still others may know they are required to be behind the scenes and to act as batteries of energy to the representatives in the spotlight on the stage of action.

Seven to eight years are required before any fullness and ripeness of spiritual consciousness and functioning can be expected. If there are problems, unexpected boulders or blind spots on the road, there is no way to skip over them. In overcoming those, you only can expect the time element to be lengthened. In fact, it is only after the first seven or eight years of full-time service that you actually begin to be light and love in action.

Wherever you are on this highway, no matter how many times you have stopped or have stalled and have had to start again, now is the time, this is your golden opportunity, your moment for achievement.

The seventh or the eighth year can be the start of a new lap in the journey. Certainly it is the beginning of a new octave of spiritual unfoldment. Then it may require an additional ten, twelve or thirteen years of applied energy and talents before achieving the goal of this lifetime’s mission of the ending of the old self and the externalizing of the I Am Self in full.

Start now to devote your meditations to rededicating yourself to your higher Self. Let your high Self know your desire to be a true, full-time light worker in all ways. Let your high Self know you are receptive to learning and experiencing whatever is necessary to make you one with the I Am Self now.

In-Light-In

February 19, 2018 / Phillel

by Nada-Yolanda

A LIGHT WORKER is one who works in the light, with the light, for the light. Nothing else matters. No other thought ever must enter the consciousness, no other desire ever must be the purpose, no other function ever can supersede it; regardless of what you think intellectually, emotionally or personally; no matter who you are, no matter what position you play upon this planet.

What does it mean to be in the light? It means you were created of the light which is God. You never can be out of the light, because the light is in you. No matter what you’ve done, no matter what you’ve thought, no matter what you’ve said in this life or in any past life, you still are in the light because you are of the light.

A light worker works with the light. There’s no other way to work — not intellectually and not emotionally — no matter how much a problem aggravates the personality you are expressing. You can work successfully only with the light, which you have in you. Since you never can be away from God, you must work with the light, you must work for the light.

Many of us have wondered what we are doing here, what we are accomplishing here; and how nice it would be to be someplace else than on this messy Earth which is going through a most despicable cleansing period.

We are here for the light. That’s the reason we’ve been born. That’s the reason we are light workers. This is the reason we chose to come, regardless of who we are, no matter how evolved we are, no matter what revelations we have had in our meditations about the place where we came from and to where we’re going. We came for this purpose.

Spiritual Code

There is a special code that was given to me: Enlighten it. Spell it: I am light, I am; in-light-in. What can you do with this code? I am in the light, and the light in me is in all other things that I see, that I touch, that I think about.

You have a problem? Someone aggravates you? A situation is not the way you like it? Your body hurts? Your mind is confused? The place where you are at the moment, be it job or school or family or society or community, is not to your liking? In-light-in it. You have no other choice, as a light worker.

See the situation. See the person. See the condition. You are in the light, therefore the light in you puts the light or sees the light in that situation, person or condition. There can be no other choice for you. You are not allowed the privilege of griping, of saying critically what the other person or what that situation has wrong with him or it. You do not have that privilege if you’re a light worker. This is the discipline, this is the difficulty.

This is why we link together in this network of light workers: to give each other strength and courage, and to hold on with everything we’ve got, to see that not only I do this but my immediate associates do this; and that every single one of you hearing or reading these words does the same thing.

For only in the unification of the light workers are we going to be able to eliminate those things that we feel critical about or that we don’t like anymore or that we don’t want to see manifest any longer. We are in the light, and in that enlightened consciousness we must see only the light in every other thing that exists, be it a person, a place, a situation, a condition or a lower kingdom. That is our power and our privilege, to raise those of other conditions or of lesser understanding.

Personal Viewpoints

Let us view our own problems, our own points of difference, criticism, aggravation. First, see the personal and private screen every one of us has. We call it the third eye. I sometimes like to think of it as our inbuilt television, our private channel; which it really is. Each one of us is a channel, therefore each one of us can turn that channel on to our link with God, the God Self within.

Turn on your television set. Open your channel. Picture there the person or the situation that seems to trouble or to disturb you. You know you are in the light. You’ve opened the channel, therefore the channel is now enlightened. On that private screen or your third eye, put the person or the situation. See the light in him or it. That person or situation was created by the one Force that exists: Light, God, truth, reality.

No matter what is manifesting on the outer, that person or that situation has God within. It is your privilege and your function as a light worker to see that light. Put that person or situation — acting, reacting, performing — in the light, as you yourself are in the light. That is your function. What you’re doing is light work. Put that person or situation in the light. See the person or the situation in the light. You’ve turned him or it on.

We, as light workers in this network linked together, are giving you strength right now. I am giving you strength, even though I don’t know the name of the person you’re working with or the situation that is difficult for you in your life. I’m amplifying, I’m strengthening, I’m putting my life in your situation.

So are all those in this room where I am speaking. So are all those linked together in this meditation network. So are all light workers throughout the Earth, aware of Mark-Age and of this network or not, doing the same thing. They are giving you power, strength, and desiring your allegiance to the light. They need you to do this. You need them to help you. Here is our strength: in unification, in linking.

Take that same person and that same situation, and turn on your channel of light. Put them in the light, working with them in the light, praying for them in the light, knowing that the light in them is operating; for you will see it no other way. Do this at least once every day and you will see a change; not only in yourself, which of course is extremely important, but in that personal situation where you have put that much energy, that much thought, that much love, that much light to in-light-in it. It is enlightened, and you are enlightened because of it.

Decree by El Morya/Mark

To work with this special spiritual code to in-light-in things, people, situations, let us consider this: Know yourself to be in the light of Spirit. Know that Spirit Itself is light. Therefore, since we are part of Spirit, each one of us is in the light of Spirit, and the light of Spirit is in each one of us at all times.

So, as we think of it at first — knowing that eventually it will become somewhat automatic and will not have to be repeated — let us consider ourselves at all times as being in the light of Spirit, and that the light of Spirit is in each. This Spirit is all that is, really. And since Spirit is in all other persons and all creation, we know this light of Spirit is everywhere. Thus, as we can see ourselves in this light of Spirit, as we can see Spirit enlightening us from within, and as we can see each person and each thing and each event in the light of Spirit, this is what we eventually will come to see and what eventually will come to be for all mankind, for all creation on the Earth, for the Earth itself.

As we become proficient at this, as we have this policy of seeing the light of Spirit within us and seeing us in the light of Spirit and seeing all other persons and things in the light of Spirit and the light of Spirit in all other things and persons, we will be able easily to place persons and situations, all creations, in the light of Spirit; to see it in the light of Spirit enough to know it will be in the light of Spirit. Let us do that now, and at all times as we think of it. In-light-in it!

Cosmic Communication

February 2, 2018 / Phillel / 1 Comment

Cosmic communication: Act of transmitting, receiving, exchanging cosmic energy.

THE LATTER-DAY PROGRAM is an age of expanded communication with God, with one’s own high Self, with brothers and sisters of higher dimensions and life expressions, with those of other kingdoms visible and invisible on and about the Earth, and with one another. Our planetary transition into the Aquarian Age may be likened unto a crash program in expanded communications awareness. Man of Earth is being taught rapidly to communicate truly and openly with himself, with his fellowman and with the Creative Life Force of the universe.

We, as students of cosmic communication, are on the verge of graduating into a higher awareness of what true communication is. The training we are receiving, and will be receiving for the rest of this incarnation, will help us to become tried-and-true Christ communicators, sons of God who know how, what, where and when to communicate.

Communication is an art that must be mastered by man of Earth in the coming New Age. Higher spiritual principles of communication or communion with Life Force are now being taught and demonstrated by many New Age groups in an effort to raise mankind and all life forms on this planet into the fourth dimension.

Such groups of light workers, linked and united through the Christ vibration, help to open the lines of communication between the rapidly accelerating third dimensional or physical frequency of Earth and the higher cosmic forces of the celestial, the etheric and the astral planes. They also serve the all-important function of implanting positive and constructive patterns for all levels of life expression: spiritual, psychic, mental, emotional and physical.

Mark-Age, through our five major divisions, is especially concerned with bringing forth only the highest of spiritual teachings and demonstrations of love in action. Through our educational functions, man of Earth is being informed of and taught the highest spiritual laws and understandings of cosmic communication.

Everyone on the Earth, especially light workers, must come to understand and to demonstrate the nature, the powers and the talents of cosmic communication on all levels of life expression.

Communicating with I Am Self. Spiritually speaking, one must learn how to unite with one’s own Christ Self within, and through this communion be linked directly with Spirit and the spiritual essence of all creations, which is the Creative Energy inherent in all things. Thus, with such lines of communication fully and permanently opened, one can truly serve all creation in the proper relationships and responsibilities intended for a son of the Father-Mother Creator.

Communicate also with the soul. That is, one must consciously establish free-flowing lines of energy exchange with one’s own soul record of past experiences and functionings. Through gradually removing veils and blocks between the conscious and the subconscious or soul aspects of mind, one brings about the wedding or union or communion of the two. When the conscious and the subconscious are brought into harmony, direct and pure lines of communication can be established with the superconscious or the high Self.

Communication of a psychic nature, such as telepathy or thought impression, is also to be learned, as it is a natural result of the unfoldments of the Elementary Spiritual Powers (ESP) inherent within each one. Through demonstrations of conscious telepathic channeling, such as through a pure channel like Nada-Yolanda (1925–2005), man of Earth is being given up-to-date news, information, education and guidance from those ascended masters in the higher planes who are helping to direct the hierarchal plan and program for Earth in these Latter Days. In her recent incarnation, Nada-Yolanda, as a member of the Karmic Board and a teacher of channels in this solar system, also served an important function in setting forth the spiritual discipline and the high standards required of the pure communications channel in the New Age.

Communication involving one’s mental aspect is another area being evolved as we enter the New Age. For it is through intelligence and spiritual discernment that man understands and properly uses his intellectual and reasoning powers of mind for the benefit and the overall good of individual and collective evolution; not for detrimental purposes, that only add to negativity, rationalization, deception, delusion and illusion. It is through divine wisdom that the mental capacity can be put to use fully in affirming, decreeing and visualizing the New Age, thus replacing old error concepts with new images.

Communication of the proper emotional nature must also be learned by all truth students. This energy-motivating part of our being must be put to proper use on the highest level possible so that what we image in the mental aspect can be pressed out into outer manifestation via the movement of the feeling nature within us. In this manner, divine ideas are given wings upon which to soar. We all know that true feelings of divine love are some of the highest generators of Creative Energy in motion, for it has been said many times that love is the key.

Communication of a physical nature is also an important tool in the New Age, whether it comes from sophisticated machinery or from the power of the voice or touch. Since physical communication involves all five senses to one degree or another, man of Earth must learn how to use it for his highest good. Only through guidance from the high Self can man learn how to utilize wisely the physical energies and methods of communication.

If it serves Spirit instead of mammon, if it serves the overall good of man’s evolution individually and collectively on the planet instead of simply sense gratification, only then may one know that such communication will bring higher spiritual understandings beneficial to man’s upliftment into fourth dimensional or Christ consciousness.

In the present Latter-Day period and program, which is an age of cleansing, those instruments and methods of physical communication that do not bring forth good fruit must be so judged and cast into the fires of transmutation. Only the good may remain to aid mankind in his spiritual growth and development.

◊◊◊

Cosmic communication concerns every aspect of man’s experience on the Earth planet. It involves understanding his true nature, heritage, powers and talents as a Christed being in complete harmony with all cosmic forces. It involves energy exchange at the highest levels. It involves balanced expression of all aspects of one’s being, for balance of spiritual, soul-psychic, mental, emotional and physical aspects leads to balanced communication. Man of Earth, Spirit has given the call to communicate. The New Age is upon us. Be a Christ communicator.
