Insight and wisdom to light up your life

What you seek

By Deborah Arndt

Thinking deeper about what’s holding you back

Our teaching is linked to experiential things, which is after all what you are seeking.

Looking out at a vista.

In this world of wonder we are all in, what are you seeking and what holds you back? We are with you now, and endeavoring to reach you and teach you. We know this is a time of turmoil, restlessness, and wondering. Not always the good kind, but the kind that asks deep hard questions. “Why is this happening? What’s happening to me? Where do we go from here?” But you must remember that all is given to you already, and you will not be abandoned or in any way bereft.

How do we go about that? Well, it’s not us, but the many who get involved, including yourselves. There is no Deus Ex Machina in that sense that drops solutions into your lap. Except of course through words such as these that come to you just when you need them, as if indeed dropped from heaven. Not always from us, but from others, too!

What and where are they? Look around you in your churches and temples. Look out into nature. Look into the smiling faces of those around you. There are your answers. So what are your questions? Aren’t they already being answered? Doesn’t humanity provide what you are seeking? Into the face of humanity you must look. Now, there is learning with deep tracks of experience! What can you learn, and how can you benefit from that?

That’s what we want for you: to be able discerners or perceivers of what is being answered now before you. Not being put off to tomorrow or when the sun might come out again. No, we really mean now! Where you are and where you find yourself. So, look and listen is another way to say it.

Are we avoiding the issue? Never! We simply don’t do that. We’re bringing the issue squarely to you. That is different. We come reverently, modestly, and humbly asking you to consider these things. No totems or spells to be cast, but honest, open handed giving based on experience. That’s really what you seek. Something you can plunge into, take home, and keeps giving through all the hard times and all the ages, never failing you. That’s what we offer.

It may strike you at first as just words, but all our teaching is linked to experiential things, which after all is what you are seeking. What good is something for you that is partial or unreal, or a shadow or representation of what could be. What good are empty promises or fair weather solutions? No, you hunger for traction and solutions that bring the rubber to the road so to speak, indeed the road you are on, too.

Try to do some reflection about your daily thoughts, what you most wish for, and how you might be short circuiting your dreams and ambitions with thoughts of worry and doubt. That’s no way to go about it. Instead offer ideas of hope, fervent belief, and knowing that what you seek will come your way. This is the candle flame that sparks the world and lights the way however modestly, even dimly at first, but radiates soon outward to connect you to a vibrant pace in the universe, a lighted way that is light itself in that case.

Why not experiment with this, my children? We are here for this and to focus you on these things. In God’s name we are here, and know that all is God in that sense around you. With love for you — your teachers.

Overcoming worry

By Deborah Arndt

Offering different thought

There is no offsetting the fervent thought you offer that something else can be true.

fear and worry

We are here for you as usual and wanting the best for you. But are you doing your part, too? When anxious worry overwhelms you, what are you offering as contrasting thought? Are you moving ahead with new or different ideas?

A case in point: say, you are overwhelmed with worry for the well-being of someone you know, and now he/she is unwell possibly due to the Covid virus. What are you to do? Will you move the world around and try to undo what is done? Or will you offer different, ample thought that registers as love, as a hug or embrace might do?

When you envelop what you are thinking … embrace what you are thinking with a new thought and offer that as hard as you do anything you feel fervently about, then you start to change things around. Do you understand?

There is no offsetting that powerful, fervent thought you offer that says, “Something different can also be true  … that they will be well and go on flourishing as they have done.” You are the maker of these thoughts and the outcomes that go along with them. No, you don’t inhabit or change the experience of others, but you are a forceful agent just the same of any outcome where you apply the thought we are talking about.

You could think of yourself as an agent for change in that sense, but first you must change yourself.

What does that involve? Well, that is why we have written these many books for you to explore. You may need time to delve into these themes that, after all, challenge many of your current beliefs. Take the time, leisurely even, to explore the rich panorama, the array before you of ideas and concepts we are floating out to you. Then, dive deep and swim with broad, hard strokes to get where you want to go. The getting there isn’t always easy, but it is extremely satisfying, and then you are more awakened than ever before if that is what you are seeking.

We are very strident about these things when talking to Deborah who asks about these matters regularly. We are making the point that her worry and anxiety belong to her, not to the situation she is imagining or has in mind. Is that becoming clearer for you? We urge you to read and find out more about these topics of importance in your lives.

When doubt prevails

By Deborah Arndt

Offering thoughts of benefit and well-being.

Now is your time to be calm and draw your breath of life from the source of all good and all God.

lighthouse

We are not by nature doubters. How could we be? We must believe as if there is no other thing, no other activity, and no other purpose worth the doing. We are, you could say, adamant about that. What good will it do to teach what we are teaching and then say, ‘Hey, there is this one caveat … one exception to the whole deal'”? What if we started to list what doesn’t pertain or isn’t true about what we are saying and in any given situation? What good would that do you, or us, for that matter?

We are not here lying to you or trying to convince you of something that is not good for you. We have no axes to grind, and we are not followers of some sect or observance that makes no sense either to you or your society. No, we are here now with you and we have you by the hand, you could say, or you could think about it that way. We have you by the hand, as did your loving parents or other guides and helpers in your life. You know who they are. You can give in to that impulse to have your hand taken, and be led out into the sunlight once again. You do not have to feel any shame or even any confusion. For we are with you now. We are never separate from you and we never leave.

But what do we do when you are in the trenches, so to speak? Do we abandon you, and go off somewhere and have our nails done or hair arranged, or order up a new set of clothes, or feast on a meal somewhere, and then return pompous and sure that you have been just fine and didn’t need us, and then arrogantly ask, “Well how is it going? Did you figure out everything you needed to? Did you get what you needed and wanted? Did you take care of any grief or worry?” That is not how we operate. We just simply are. We never vary and never leave you, and there is no variation in that truth.

Now, can you believe that? If we tell you that belief is bedrock, as we have clarified in our works, how can we contradict that by saying that belief is a variable and you can accept things or not, but whatever you choose, things will simply go your way if you want them to? That is not a way to go forward. We do not want that for you. You must commit something of yourself to the process and that commitment should be to believe in something, whatever it is. And we hope it will be something for good and for the prosperous caring and well-being of all those around you.

When you are first in your mind with care and concern for your own blessed and grace-filled well-being, then you can outstretch that well-being to others. You can benefit the whole world in that way as you would see, and as we are teaching.

Why can’t we reach you? If you are unreachable, which is really impossible, and the possibility really doesn’t exist because all is this dynamic of change and expansion, and you are part of that. So, how could you stay in just one place, believing just one thing for all time? Even our philosophy must be tested, and you must continue to test and adapt to the times and situations you are in. Although all we tell you is true, and true for all time, even you must admit that your experiences vary and change, and feel, and look different. Now, don’t they? But the truth behind them never varies.

That is an all-important principle to believe in and to grasp. You must try to grasp this. You could choose just to accept it, and let it roll around a bit in your mind and life to see how it pans out. Or you could apply it to all that you ever think about, and care about, and see how this holds true for you.

Either way, we know that what we teach is bedrock truth, and is the basis for your reality because there is nothing more real, no …. nowhere in that great and vast universe out there! There is nothing more real. 

So how and why do you attribute so much power to just one person, or one event, or one condition? Why would you do that? You must see that we are all in this together, and no one has supremacy or can topple the world or even topple you, if you do not allow it to happen. And that work must start way back somewhere in your heart and mind.

Time is not important so that if you missed out on this education as a child, you can still garner all the knowledge, help, and support you need now, no matter your age, no matter where you are, and what is happening. You can start applying this truth now to get the results you need, no matter who is in charge or what is happening to you.

We have no axes to grind as we have said, for we are not in this for gain, but for you and your well-being. Have you never tested a proposition, theory, or teaching? Did you not ask first, “What’s in it for me? What good will it do to focus on the whole world, if I die to myself, or shrivel in the process where I am no longer me, no longer important, and no longer of worth or value?” And so forth and more views similar to this?

That is what we are driving at—- no proposition, however worthy or meritorious sounding or appearing it may be, can undermine the essential “you” and your great value and validity in all things. For you are our dearest children.

There is no going back on that proposition, my children. You are ours, and we are yours in the greatest sense of things. We are in this together and can never let each other down, not in any meaningful way. For you are eternal, and you are inspired by All-that-is. And you are part of a greater whole than ever you can imagine right now. For you are doing important work right here and right now … just being here and wishing to be of benefit.

So, keep offering those thoughts of benefit and well-being, and draw us close and sure to your hearts, and no individual can prevail above that or steer you away from your astounding course and trajectory as God-filled and light-filled beings on your way to something better every moment you are, and in every breath you draw in. That is our promise to you. 

For those of you who worry and project worry onto situations, now is your time to be calm and draw your breath of life from the source of all good and all God. We know you know what we mean.

We are here with you now, my children. Now, prosper and be well, and be all that you are designed to be in the greater manner of things. And we will watch with adulation and joy at your recovery and your ascendancy to all that you can be, must be, and WILL! —–the teachers.

When beset by fear

By Deborah Arndt

You are never alone, never bereft, and never without aid.

Draw on these truths and strengths now.

fear and doubt

Remember how important and effective you are and can be by reducing the fear of others and increasing a sense of well-being at the same time. No small miracle in these times! In this way, you are profoundly benefiting others. It may seem easy to speak or write these words, but here we are drawing upon centuries of pain, fear, and turmoil mostly created by others around us, and we have been its unwitting victims. Where we had the ability to move mountains was with our faith and knowing that we couldn’t really be harmed unless we allowed ourselves to be so.

Now, we offer this wisdom to you. Know that despite all that you hear about this virus, you are still you and must be you through all time, and there are many agencies out there seen and unseen available to help you so that you are never alone, never bereft, and never without aid.

Where you draw on these truths and strengths now, you are better equipped to face what you must face. Now you are assisted, and your hand held. Isn’t that encouraging? Extend this out to all you love, and envision their well-being for them, too. Please return often to read more. We are in this with you, and you are never forgotten or alone. — your teachers

Hope

By Deborah Arndt Leave a Comment

Hope and better things to come

You are cared about and being cared for from the outset in any situation.

In quiet times, we yearn for comfort and solace, and this is no different in times of stress. Equally, we are able to create the circumstances and environment we most want. We can overcome what we cannot tame. Now, that is a mouthful when you think about it. Because by what means will you get out and turn the world around on its axis … determining where you want it to go? No, there are other offices at work. The hand of God you could say, but which is really All-that-is making sure you have what you need, and that all is well and provided.

Now, how do you buck that, my friend? Where you are cared about and being cared for from the outset in any situation? Now, that is something you can take to the bank.

At this time of year, when your thoughts and heart turn to higher things … to celebrations, those you love, and your scripture … now is a time to assert and aim what you most care about toward the stars. Ask for heavenly grace to fall upon you, and help lead you in the direction that is most profitable for you. By that we mean you are all the better for it. You’re in a net better position, and therefore more able to help others and be of some effiacy in matters around you.

That is our message to you: of hope and better things to come. In fact, always being ushered to your door. Uplift your hearts to this and watch what happens. — your teachers

Taking time for you

By Deborah Arndt

Drawing your attention

We know how it important it is to be where you are.

online reading

We’re writing to you with what we hope will be frequent posts. So much depends on Deborah’s availability and we’re working on a schedule that makes sense. We know how important it is to be where you are. However, we want to draw your attention foremost to our books, for in them we have said so much … written down so much to guide you. You ask for guidance and we know you will benefit from it. So, why not take advantage of our books and read them all at this point, so you can get the big picture on all this and how it works.

Schools for learning. Deborah has also been thinking about types of schools or ways of learning this philosophy and what we are teaching. Some focus and mental discipline is needed — the kind we think you can relate to and fact would want — in applying a new philosophy and perspective, albeit tailored to you and for your benefit.

We’d like to invite you to share your ideas on how this learning could take place and in what contex — involving a physical setting or online, and how you would most like to experience learning in that context. What media would prefer? Feel free to contact us. Your thoughts mean a great deal to us and are after all what we are in the business of — forging a better experience with you! — your teachers
