Thinking deeper about what’s holding you back
Our teaching is linked to experiential things, which is after all what you are seeking.

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.
