Here\u2019s an excerpt from a recent email I received and some thoughts about the questions this GHF friend, Trevor, raises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs we know, the new\nenergy has been flooding into the planet recently and yet I and my community\nhave been feeling impatient for the last few weeks. (I should explain that I’m\nan empath coach and energy healer).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The image I am getting is\nof the desire to paddle a canoe downstream to get going in the right direction\nyet the effort would be futile because the upstream dam is getting ready to\nburst. When it does, we will all be carried downstream way faster than we could\never paddle under our own efforts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We know The Shift into 5D\nis getting very close. I wanted to ask if this image of paddling downstream\nresonated for you (although I am sure the metaphor of the dam\nbursting sounds more catastrophic than is intended).\u201d  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

MY THOUGHTS<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I found this a fascinating and timely metaphor.  Thank you Trevor for sharing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first thing I want to discuss in regards to Trevor\u2019s email is the balance of Effort and Grace<\/a> required of us right now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is a tremendous amount of Grace in the higher vibrational energy pouring into the planet.  We have much to be thankful for, as this energy floods our world through no volition of our own.  What we are being given is precious beyond measure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So where does Effort come into the picture?  I feel it is vital to make the effort to consider where we need this light to flow in our lives and to ask Divinity to help it flow there. Trevor describes this as pointing the canoe in the right direction. I do not feel this effort is futile in the face of big waves coming but extremely important BECAUSE big waves are coming. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Events in our lives, our\ndreams, even our daydreams illuminate our logjams. If we look for patterns in\nwhat we are experiencing, what we have experienced and even what is happening\nin our dreams, we can grow clearer about tangles and road blocks we personally\nface.  When we are cognizant of our\nlogjams, we can ask the incoming light now and later to illuminate these places\nwithin us that particularly need the incoming light.  This does not have to be a complex request\nprocess.  We can simply ask that Divinity\u2019s\nlight and love be directed towards issues X, Y, and Z.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The light flooding the planet is going to help us all and carry us all downstream, but it can be used more effectively if we are aware of where we need it most. I would call this one of the ways we can balance the Grace of this light with our Effort. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To riff off Trevor\u2019s canoe analogy, as we flow with the current energy wave and prepare for other blockbuster waves, our canoe paddles of awareness, intention and requests for help all assist us to get the most out of the current flow and help prepare us to be poised to ride future waves in the most productive way possible. This relieves any sense of impatience or futility as we wait for unfolding events. It also gives us plenty to do while we wait for the bigger waves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MORE FROM THE SUMMER OF 1993\nGUIDANCE<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As with so many recent\nblogs, I include again a channeled message from Divinity given during the GHF community\nbuilding summer of 1993.  During that\nsummer a collective of very diverse women created a baker\u2019s dozen healing\ngardens here at the farm then shared them with a large and diverse group of visitors.  Throughout this venture, we received very specific\nguidance from the God within us all.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These messages encouraged us\nto see all visitors as immediate and equal members of the community we were\nbuilding.   There was no common religious\nideology among the four founding members or in the thousands that visited, yet\nthe messages referred to all groups at the farm as God community because of our\njoint efforts to grow our relationship with the Light while also being present\nto support other people to do the same.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

All this to say, when the\nguidance below describes us as God community it is not referring to us as a\nconventional religious organization. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

WHY THIS SELECTION<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is the entire message received on July 23, 1993. While this excerpt of the guidance only gets to a paddling up and downstream metaphor at the end, I still felt the whole day\u2019s message was relevant to Trevor\u2019s email.  All of us are finding our way as individuals in a unified energy field.  This is a complex dynamic requiring patience with ourselves as we individually and collectively seek to ground the full consciousness of 5D energy on earth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let me explain one other thing about the messages that may help this excerpt make more sense.  Throughout the guidance, God describes the filters, illusions and misunderstandings we have as EGO BLANKETS that blind us so we stumble into each other and also fail to see the light in our situation, in ourselves or in each other. The guidance repeatedly suggested our many ego blankets were our personal responsibility to identify and remove with community interaction described as an excellent way to accelerate the removal. As you will see, this is not so much because other community members should point out our blankets or try and remove them, but because community illuminates our blankets and gives us examples how to remove them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

July 23, 1993<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today we will talk about the nature of community since it is\nsomething which everything (that) you are doing involves.  One day this\nweek you wrote down the sentence “Community is not about getting it from\neach other.”  I would like to elaborate on what that statement means.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are many misconceptions, ego blankets tucked one on top of\nthe other, when it comes to community.  You have dealt with some of the\nmost obvious blankets, but now you are dealing with some of the most\ninsidious.  These are some of the blankets that are applied with crazy\nglue and peel off extremely slowly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First, most egos want to find a community where they get to hide\nout in peace and quiet.  The goal is to find a group that agrees with you\nso you can avoid the fires of change.  This kind of community, if it\nexists, is a stagnant backwater of paralysis and putrefaction.  It is not\nsomething that you should be glad to have found, for it freezes you where you\nare and lets no life force enter.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I AM by nature the energy of change.  My light by its\nessential nature constantly changes and expands and is the illumination of all\nthings.  A community where the members agree on a set values system and\nthe correct way to process everything is a community running from the light,\nusing their combined muscle power to create a structure which shuts out the\nlight and keeps everyone in the dark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When people are called into community in my name the point is\nnever stagnation or complaisance.  The point is an acceleration of the\ngrowth process through joint efforts to come into the light.  One way this\nhappens is through the friction of old ego patterns rubbing up against old ego\npatterns.  In what way would something any different serve you in your\njourney home?  Would it help to be in a self congratulatory group that\ntold each other there was no need or room for change?  It would feel like\ndeath or at the very least stagnation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you gather into community in my name and let go and let ME\ntake charge, I see exactly how to tumble you one against the other for the\nmaximum blanket removal.  The intention isn’t just to bruise you one\nagainst the other.  The intention is to help you remove all that is left\nwhich interferes from a direct and complete relationship with me.  I\ntumble you over and over again in the same way when there is a place in which\nthe blanket is particularly stuck to you.  This is why you experience the\nsame set of dynamics over and over again until you “get it”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because God community is more clearly oriented towards\n“Letting Go and Letting God,” I can much more efficiently remove\nblankets, because everyone can be a force of light in various situations. \nThe blankets are revealed not so much because someone is pointing them out to\nyou, but because you are in a place where I have been able to bring more light\nthrough many more people so all of you can see better.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is not always comfortable to see your blankets so clearly\nunless you remember that I AM there to help you remove them.  I AM not\ngoing to reveal the blanket for the sake of humiliating you and then walk\naway.  The light is there to help you see yourself better, and the tools\nare there to remove them faster, because not only do groups bounce and jostle\ntheir blankets off of each other, but (groups) can learn from each other\nexactly how to remove a blanket.  In the bright light which results in God\ncommunity, you get to see your own blankets very well, but you also see how\nother people pry off the ones they wear.  It is a little bit like how a\nchild learns to take off a pullover sweater.  He watches some adults, and\nthen he tries it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This will be a good metaphor for some of the other things which\nhappen in community.  The bright light of many God beings gathered in my\nname illuminates everyone.  Just as it is easier to see one’s own\nblankets, it is easier to see everyone else’s.  Consider however how you\nbest learned to take off a sweater.  You might have witnessed someone\ntaking off a sweater and for a while your parents might have done it for you,\nbut you only learned how to do it for yourself when you did it for\nyourself.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let this be a reminder to all of you to stay in your center\nremoving your own blankets and help to remove other people’s blankets only when\nthey have expressly asked for such assistance.  When the blankets which\nother people are wearing push your buttons, see only the God in them which\nwears the blankets and know the person will remove the blanket when he or she\nis ready.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your goal in community is not to fix each other but to learn\nfaster from each other, because you bring together so many more ideas about\nblanket removal.  The way you can best communicate your ideas is to just\ndo them and know that I AM illuminating everything so that the good ideas about\nblanket removal are seen as well as the blankets.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is a waste of the momentum of the group to arbitrarily stop\nyour process to tug at somebody else’s blanket.  Even if (a blanket)\ncovers their eyes and they can’t even see that they have stumbled into a place\nof light, know that unless they specifically ask for blanket removal help, you\nare best to go about the business of increasing your light and removing your\nown blankets.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remember that there will come a point in your own blanket removal\nthat you will have removed so many layers that you will be such a bright light\nthat no one else’s blankets will totally shut out your light.  Have\nconfidence in the powerfulness of your own healing process and keep focused on\nthat.  When the time is right, each of you will be a great force of\nillumination just by being present, not because you are telling people about\ntheir blankets or trying to pull them off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It would be a disservice to all of you to have the structure of\nGod community created to make you dependent on that community for love or\npraise or guidance.  All God community should be constantly focused on\nreturning you to a direct relationship with me where you can get all the love,\npraise and guidance you need.  When a community is clear that everything\ncomes from within, then a certain amount of harmony can exist.  However so\nmany of your blankets are about thinking you have to get it from outside\nyourself that most God community still exists in a place of quite a lot of\nfriction right now.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The collective vision of the (GHF) community is to Let Go and Let\nGod come forward from within.  As people stray into deeply ingrained\npatterns to do otherwise, they are bumped around rather unpleasantly until they\nreturn to that focus.  It is a little like going downstream with me and\nhaving old ego conditioning about needing to paddling upstream.  Whenever\nyou head into the old habits of paddling against the current you go until you\nare tired and realize it is not helping.  Then you let go and let Me take\nover again.  Eventually you get the drift that this old approach doesn’t\nwork.  You don’t get downstream by paddling upstream away from me.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you are paddling with a group you tend to learn to go with\nthe downstream flow faster because when you try and paddle upstream in your ego,\nit is much more difficult.  The flow of Me is stronger in community so\nthat there is more resistance when you try the old upstream tack.  The\nflow of God community also carries you faster towards reunion with me when you\n“Let Go and Let God” because there is more downstream momentum. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whenever you are feeling stuck or confused about what is going on\nin you, ask to be shown what you are doing in the flow.  See where your\nboat is and what you are pushing it to do.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you head upstream in the midst of community, it is more\ndifficult than when you head upstream on your own.  Consequently, it is\neasy to rage and say that the group is the problem.  The energy of the\ngroup is simply illuminating the problem with going upstream for you that much\nfaster.  You realize faster that it is not a productive direction and that\nyou are stuck and not getting what you need.  This is a great gift, to be\ndisillusioned faster.  Celebrate this and let yourself turn the boat around. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes the process may feel like a very public time in a\npressure cooker, but I tell you it is a great gift to have found yourself a\nfaster way to pull off the blankets.  Be grateful that you do not get the\nopportunity to go upstream away from me for more than a few minutes without\nrealizing that you have headed out against my flow.  Be glad that when you\nturn around you get the momentum of all the brothers and sisters in this\ncommunity who are working to come home.  You turn your boat around and you\ndon’t have to wait an instant to be moved forward in your return to me. \nYou blast off with the speed of all those around you.  Everyone has their\nmoments going upstream, but on each person’s return, they all get the gift of\nthe combined forward momentum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Community is not what your ego wants.\u00a0 It is not an easy, restful experience for any of you right now, but it is extremely productive one.\u00a0 It returns you home to me all the faster, and that is what matters most of all.\u00a0 I love you very much dear ones and send you my love in the waters that swirl around your boat as it journeys home to me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
