Moments of Perfection
~ by Shirl

They come quietly, as if on tip toe. The moments of perfection do not seem to need a fanfare or exclamation point. It is a gentle inuendo that inserts itself rather wistfully into moments of timelessness.

The large white herding dog, Sundancer, is lying fully up against the front door on her back, feet and legs akimbo, breathing the deep breaths of sleep. Mandy, the calico cat is curled up on the seat of the cumputer chair, resting her head on paws curled inward, neither tail nor whiskers alert to anything.

I am comfortably nestled into my recliner, enjoying the aroma of African coffee sending ringlets of steam upwards from the cup. On my lap is Banger, the orange tiger stripe cat who is attentively waiting for me to tear small pieces from my buttered (no syrup) waffles and offer them to him. He spends a lot of his time outside, the hunter and protector of things and places. Perhaps because of those journeys into imgined jungles and tracking prey he feels it is his right to share my food with me.

He is very insistent about this. It is obvious that he expects his rights to be recognized and attended to. His paw reaches out gently, claws carefully sheathed, and takes a hold of my fingers as I attempt to feed myself the buttery waffels of this morning. He wants equality in the bites of food, lest I should be having more than the share he thinks is mine.


Even though this cat is intent on having his share of my food, there is such an air of calmness about him. In his inner being he is content and peaceful, quite satisfied with his place in things. I cannot help but smile as I watch him chewing the bits of food. While he eats his morsel, I sip the dark, rich coffee and feel the same calm and contentment. We are sharing more than waffles here.

The Day has begun with bright sunshine and the promise of 20 degrees more warmth than yesterday. I feel blessed and speak my gratitude to the unfurling day.
Could there be more pleasantness than this? Can there be more to be grateful for than this? A moment of perfection to be followed by more moments perfected each in their own way and scope of focus.

It IS well with my soul.

Metatron - The Fulfillment of the Promise

Through Reniyah Wolf


My Beloved Ones, I greet you this day in eternal joy! Truly it is a day of great joy, no matter where you are on the Earth and what is happening around you. You have worked long and hard in service to the Light for your entire human lifetime.

No matter when it was that you may have officially awakened, you have been in service on planet Earth since your very conception in your mother's womb. At that moment of conception, an imprinting of Light coding within your DNA propelled
your destiny forward. Since that moment, you have been impacting the planetary consciousness of Earth, acting as conduits for the frequencies of Light. You have held the Earth and her life forms in your hands, as modeling clay, descending into human form from the highest Realms of Light.

Your task was that of uniting the Heavens and the Earth, restoring Earth and humanity to its Divine place in the cosmos.
Now, my Beloved Ones, your mission has been accomplished. The seeds of Heaven on Earth have been planted in your planetary consciousness and have taken root.

You may look around and say "What? It doesn't appear to me that the mission has been completed. The world's a mess and life is still a struggle". When you plant an apple seed, a tiny tree sprouts. You cannot immediately pick an apple from this little tree and eat it. You must give it time to grow to maturity before you can
pick the fruit. You may also wish to enjoy the experience of its growth unfolding, appreciating the different states of development. You have been planting seeds of higher consciousness within the Earth plane since the moment of your conception, in ways that you cannot yet comprehend.

The created reality of the Earth plane, or any plane, is not as it seems. Experiential reality is a complex cosmic dance of subtle energies upon which numerous points of individuated consciousness have agreed. In other words, countless numbers of individuated consciousness have agreed to have this experience which you call Earth life. It is also by this common agreement that the quality of the experience is determined.

The state of fear and oppression that has characterized Earth life for many millennia was also created by common agreement by individuated consciousness.
How, then, is it possible to change the collective experiential nature of life in the Earth plane? This is done by changing the common agreement. Once again you may question, because it does not seem that any two humans upon the Earth agree, much less more than two. How can a common agreement of individuated consciousness hold your reality in place? The higher parts of yourselves, on a level beyond your conscious experience, have agreed that this experiential construct known as the Earth Plane shall exist. Whereas in your world, an agreement constitutes a like opinion or a similar belief, in the higher frequencies of reality, an agreement is a level of frequency resonance.

This type of agreement has nothing whatsoever to do with opinion or viewpoint, but with the forces of creation. As the higher common agreement is held in frequency resonance, experiential constructs such as dimensions and planes can exist for you to play in.
So, my Beloved Ones, what you have been about accomplishing in your human incarnation has nothing to do with similar opinions or beliefs. It has nothing whatsoever to do with humans agreeing on a specific set of beliefs, common goals, or ways to accomplish those goals. The task has been to alter the frequency resonance of the Earth plane.

The frequency resonance is that common agreement of consciousness which establishes the nature of experience upon any given plane of existence. In that sense, you have been frequency modulators throughout your embodied lives upon the Earth. Your very presence here has altered the common agreement of which we speak and changed the frequency resonance of the Earth plane. You, living on Earth, opened the door for the cosmic Light which has been entering the plane for a number of years. Many of you know of this special purpose for which you were born into a human body during these times. You have not fully understood that purpose. You have, at times, become fearful and disillusioned because your outer world does not reflect the changes
you now know you came to catalyze. There seems to be no more common agreement than at any previous time in Earth history.

Perhaps it seems outrageous to you that Spirit is saying that the job is done.
I ask you to switch your viewpoint away from emotion and judgment and toward the scientific for a moment. Frequency modulation is a way to alter the waves of sound vibration in order to use them to convey information - words, pictures, music. Many of your technological devices operate through frequency modulation, such as radio, television, video transmission. The frequencies of the waves are adapted in order to convey specific information to the recipients.

The many of you will not know the exact science of frequency modulation, but neither is it necessary for you to know. You have been providing much the same function of frequency modulation in order to place new information in your planetary consciousness through the Light coding in your cells. You do not have to know exactly how that process has taken place. Just know that it has taken place. Just as a radio or television program cannot be taken back once broadcast, neither can the frequency modulation which has taken place in your plane be reversed. In that sense, my Beloved Ones, your task is complete. The channel is opened and established.


Now we'll return to the less technical aspects of your planetary evolution. Frequency modulation is only a part of the entire process, although a vital one which crease a gateway for the planes to merge. You have also been about the task of planting seeds, the seeds of new trees, which will bear new fruit. The seeds were cast forth with the sharing of information long hidden from humanity.

All knowledge that was once hidden and kept secret by those in power is now available to you. A seed of knowledge, however, is easily cast upon hard ground, where it cannot take root. The seed must be nourished with the waters
of experience. Knowledge, without the desire or ability to apply it, is as the seed cast upon the hard ground. You, my Beloved Ones, are the gardeners for the Tree of Life which grows in the new Eden of Earth. The Promise of the Redemption of Humanity has now been fulfilled in the planting of the seeds of higher evolution in your planetary consciousness. A promise, if given, must also be accepted by the recipients of its fulfillment. Then, the promise becomes a Covenant, a sacred common agreement which holds a reality in place. The promise of the redemption of humanity has now become a Covenant between the human race and Mother-Father God.

You are once again the Keepers of the Garden of Eden.
The seeds are just now beginning to sprout, my Beloved Ones, and your task at hand is to tend and nourish them by living the higher truth in thought, word and deed. The thought and the word cannot be fully realized without the deed. You will now become the living Covenant, my Beloved Ones. Hand in hand with Mother-Father God you shall nurture these seeds as they become tall trees bearing fruit for all humanity to eat. Now, in this your Earth year 2006, you are in the time of completion. Know that your redemption is at hand. The Christ returns to Earth and that Christ is the many of you.

You have seen many changes and much turbulence in your world in the recent years. I would not be truthful if I were to say there would be no more. Collective humanity has entered fully into a deep cleansing, by which it is taking full responsibility for that which it has created. While time as you know it is only an experiential construct, the events of your collective past, present and future are now being simultaneously cleansed and restructured to a higher frequency resonance. This is a process in which your very dimensional reality is being changed by your own thoughts, words and deeds, in co-creatorship with Mother-Father God. That which is no longer a fitting part of the new reality must be transmuted.

As your collective consciousness changes, seeks to evolve, those thoughts, words and deeds which no longer serve you will be continue to be made manifest. As humanity responds to the tumultuous events in compassion, love and understanding, rather than fear, judgment and condemnation, the roots of fear and oppression will be removed from the garden of Earth.
There will be swift and rapid change in your world and in your individual lives over the next years. At times it may seem that all is falling apart and complete chaos will ensue. Know, my Beloved Ones, that this is the weeding of the garden, co-created by you, as the gardeners. When the weeding is completed, the Tree of Life shall flourish and bear wondrous fruit.

The strength which enables you to continue nurturing the seeds you have planted lies within you. That strength is in the promise fulfilled and the Covenant which now exists between each one of you and Mother-Father God. Neither fear nor condemn the events of your world, but trust in this Covenant, and the infinite and unconditional love of Mother-Father God. You are the Anointed Ones without whom the Covenant could not be fulfilled.
The time for fear is now past.

The task, for each one of you now, is to become the Living Covenant between humanity and Mother-Father God; to replace your fears and questions with the joy of the promise fulfilled and the time of completion. My Beloved Ones, no humans have entered the Garden of Eden since the Fall of the human race. You shall be the first to return, and to once again care for and nurture the Tree of Life in its fullness of maturity. You are infinitely supported in this final portion of your journey back to the Garden, by Mother-Father God and the highest Realms of Light. Do not doubt, even
for a moment, that the promise has been fulfilled.

I AM With You Always, in Love.

Out of the Mind


On another site that I co-administer, one of the members suggested that the things we had been talking about, concerning letting go of the intellect in favor of knowing it first in our spirit-heart were not things in the main stream of our society. In response, I offered this information from the center of my understanding of my truth. There may be some that frequent my site here that will find it of interest.

In the normal course of things in our culture and society, these are not mainstream concepts. To set your analytical thinking and constant need or desire to figure everything out aside, would be or is considered "crazy." Those more aligned with what is considered the "logical" world would and do often have a difficult time with some of these concepts.

Anyone who has become familiar with meditation of any type, comes to understand that our overly busy minds often keep us from our more intuitive side, even keep us from expanding and growing our intuitive side. There are hundreds of methods of meditating. And each of us can and will find something that best suits our purposes. So there is no "right way" or wrong way to meditate. It need not take hours, it need not be of any specific structure, in fact it can be very easy and take only seconds. The purpose of meditation is what? To quiet the so-called logical mind so that you can connect to an altered state of consciousness. Whatever does that for you is the best direction for you to take. Why connect to an altered state of consciousness? To expand your perceptions and allow yourself a larger, more encompassing view of things.

The suggestions in the Soul Food Column I post are not my words, but rather messages quoted from energy beings not currently in the physical on earth, such as Archangel Michael, St Germain, Quado, Seth and any other number of Masters, teachers and higher energy beings. They are messages brought through highly intuituve, spiritual persons whom I either know personally and/or have long followed their work and find them to be highly trustworthy. It is merely a connecting to things of spirit.

I understand that many have strong reactions to or disbelief in non-physical energy beings such as Angels or ones given the title of Saint or Master or Avatar. My own experience with these non-physical energy entities colors my willingness to be informed by their messages. They are NOT associated with any religion, any philosophy, any organized group or groups. They are our energy family that reside in less dense higher vibrational fields of energy. We each have the ability to connect with them if we wish to. Some of us here on this site have and do. That does not make us special or higher or better than any other (or crazy either), it merely means we have become receptive. It is rather a responsibility than something that makes us noteworthy.

Some people call it "channeling." The term, however, has been misappropriated and misused to such an extent, it is not a term I like to use. Truly it means only a receptive chanel, vessel or conduit through which energy messages may flow. I prefer to call it Intuitive Messenger. It is like receiving a telephone call and writing or speaking what you are hearing from the other end of the phone line. Nothing spooky or scary about it. It is not about the receiver. It is about the message.

Guidelines that I always use regarding such material: If it feels right within my truth center (I know it in my knower), if it contains nothing negative or fear based, if it does not "command" but suggests or encourages one to some possibility, if it is Love based, then I am able to determine the truthfulness, helpfulness and possible growth it may offer me. Any message given you either directly or through some other that tells you you must do something, or the only way to do something is as they tell it, or tell you that something is right or wrong, most especially the only right way, it is not from highest wisdom. Your free will is paramount and sacred.

The final guideline is this: If any presenting such messages are looking for followers, RUN, don't walk to the nearest exit immediately. Only you know your path and only you choose your path, following others as a supplicant or initiate or disciple is not something in this NOW time that is for your highest and best good. Become connected to your inner knowing, and follow it earnestly! Practice and develop your discernment. It is a most important tool... If something does not feel like it fits to you, then set it aside and ask for validation. If it is later validated then incorporate it, if not, let go of it.

These are my views and suggestions. Use your own discernment.

Hugs
Shirl
