Embrace The New Transparency Weekly Message, November 5, 2005 Written and transcribed by Terry Grant   This is the conclusion of a message I have transcribed and edited from a talk Ishvara gave on October 2, 2005. - TG.   Ishvara:   If individuals are following the old pattern, they are not really conscious of that; they are just staying within the accepted lines.  Those who have the courage to move outside of the lines are the ones who begin to embrace The New Consciousness, this new transparency.  The more you practice that in your life, the more empowered you become through clarity and feeling-knowing, and you realize that change is natural, change is necessary; it is an intricate part of Life.  Change is what keeps Life going.  Energy comes in, energy goes out, energy comes in, energy goes out.  That's Life.  It is a synergy.  Stagnation occurs when energy comes in and stops; that is the time to bury it, because it is dead.  In Life, there is always an exchange going on, flowing constantly, otherwise it is death.   While there are obstacles in the form of resistance and fear, there is also hope.  Not the hope of the wimpy kind.  It is the hope which comes through clarity and awareness that, "Yes, the highest good is taking place at this moment, and yes, there is an even higher good to take place, and that is the direction in which I am going to go."  This involves moving in the direction that implements compassion and action, that comes from clarity and connection, living the possibility, looking for moments where it works and seeing those, while skipping over the moments when it doesn't appear to be working, because that is only an appearance.    Life is always working.  If that wasn't true, you and I wouldn't be here.  If Life wasn't always working, the whole planet would already have ceased to exist.  Therefore, since you are here, you know Life is working, and there is every reason to expect that Life will continue to be working, if you keep taking energy in and giving energy out, if you keep in the flow of existence, fearlessly reaching for the next rung, knowing that the moment you are there, the rung is there.  You don't see the rung beforehand; it looks like nothing is there.  But the moment you are there, something is there.  Perhaps you bring the rung with you.   Embrace the nothingness that is the heart of existence.  In embracing nothingness you bring something; you create.  That is a very powerful place to be, because you get to decide how you are going to create.  If what you decide coincides with what others have decided, it becomes very possible.  If you decide something that is all by itself, then it is more difficult.  It is agreement, alignment, and allowing for the possibility, that make things work.  You just allow, "This could be so."  The more people who allow it could be so, the more it becomes so.  It is a very natural, organic process, not mysterious at all.    That is how prayer works.  When many individuals come together in a state of surrendering, acceptance, and allowing for a greater possibility, there is an agreement, and Life says, "OK, it seems like there is a pretty good agreement on this, let's move in that direction." That happens, unless the coming together is divided.  Right now, there are many people praying that their soldiers do their job and eliminate the insurgents, while the insurgents are praying that the soldiers won't be able to find them.  So it is a stalemate.  That is ineffective.   When any kind of system or structure or belief or concept is in conflict, it is a stalemate, a balancing back and forth, creating more division.  But when there is an agreement, seeing a higher possibility which serves all, Life really gets behind that: "OK, let's get some more numbers, more people who recognize the possibilities, let's move in that direction."  It doesn't override the will of anyone.  It just convinces from the core.  There is awakening, and a person suddenly realizes, "Hey, this is really possible; this could happen.  It is a mystery.  Where did that come from? It must be God speaking again."  It is not "God".  It is Life, which includes you.   Embrace the transparency, embrace Life, and something will happen.  That is the way it works.  There is a saying that "Something can't come from nothing."  Yet that is a lie.  Everything has come from nothing.  That is the truth.  So welcome to the nothingness!   Allow the inspiration of the moment to carry you to the next rung of existence, to experience Life itself as it is, moment by moment.   Copyright © 2005 by Alaya®.
