Dear Ones,

I usually don’t say anything about the transmissions that come through me. I understand that I am just a channel, a vessel for the offering of what is hopefully sustenance for the lives and health and growth of the ones who get to hear the words and more importantly feel the accompanying vibration that he/they bring. Why try to add to the wisdom and elevated vibration of a divine consciousness.

But this time I’m going to make an exception. Not to add to what he said, but to give you a bit of context for some of what he said. I need to say from the outset that it was an even stranger experience than usual to not only be the megaphone for the transmission, but the subject of it….

Yoga teacher and writer, Kristin Tone, wrote about her experiences with Essential Light Institute for The Echo World, a news publication in Central Virginia.

Anxiety and trauma, two aspects of the human condition that cannot be outrun, outmaneuvered, outsmarted. I was a mother of two, worked full-time, had a master’s degree, a marriage, a house, two dogs and trauma in my past that I had boxed and stored, protecting it with a shiny exterior.  My secret life of frenetic fear began to seep out when my first child was born. I remember standing in my bathroom one morning, the kids needing lunches and shoes tied, feeling like the water level was rising, and it had suddenly hit my nose….

A couple of years ago I was giving a talk at a non-denominational church that prided itself on being open to all and condemning of none. I thought I fit right in. In my talk I used the term “the Christ on Earth.” I use this term often, and you will see it repeated a number of times in these transmissions, which is where I got it from in the first place. After the talk ended, I was approached by two women. They proceeded to inform me in no uncertain terms that my use of that phrase was highly insulting to them. How dare I bring such division and unsafety to the sacred place of unity that the church was holding. They were quite triggered, and no explanation I could offer for how I, a Jew by birth, had come to be not only comfortable with, but honored to use such a phrase, was satisfying to them. I understood their distress, but I wasn’t willing to change what has become to me a beloved phrase to ease it. But it did call me to make a study….

The Opportunity of a World Gone Mad (In many meanings of the word)

The Oxford Dictionary has chosen a word as its 2016 Word of the Year: post-truth. For those who don’t follow such goings-on, post-truth is defined as: Relating to or denoting circumstances in which objective facts are less influential in shaping public opinion than appeals to emotion and personal belief….

Embodying compassion and forgiveness does not mean that we never feel pain again, never feel the anguish of suffering, never have any wayward energies come to us. It is part of our lot as humans and part of our mission of learning and helping that we are called upon to not only witness, but to feel….

The heart, when we clear away the debris of the pain that has protectively encapsulated it, automatically vibrates at the exact rate as the universal life force that is the defining component of all living things, a thing that the mind most certainly does not….

The belief in separateness, which is the belief that each of us is essentially different and apart from all other beings and from all of creation, and that we are essentially and in the end alone; this is the actual “original sin”….

This state of lurching back and forth, caught between the instinctive need for unity and the desire for individual definition, will last until we want harmony and unity more than we want our right to do whatever we want, however we want to do it….
