Lay your worries and your fears to rest. For I exist to bring you home, the moment of light penetrating the darkness. I symbolise this, and more. For the human soul is shrouded by Maya, lost in a sea of dark and light, oscillating between these two extremes in a desperate attempt to find their way back home. Well, moments such as these – the eclipses – whether seen as auspicious or inauspicious, exist to cause the human, as the moon, seemingly stopped in its tracks by the shadow of the earth, to stop, stand still awhile, take stock, see these themes – of light and dark – and how they run through their lives. And if they are lucky, and one of the chosen ones, to obtain a glimpse of the truth, of their all-embracing Divinity, beyond the opposites, which are mere plays of the Divine, and let this glimpse propel them forwards to a life of good: acting in accordance with Divine intent, as part of the tapestry of the whole, to bring each part back to their final resting ground. Nature holds the keys to unlock the truth within. Thus, stop awhile and be, and little by little, you, as I, will become free, Amen.

The Journey to the One, the path from dark to light, from impurity to purity. This has been the path – the one needing to be exhausted before the latter could emerge. This is the journey of all human beings – from ignorance to truth. No one is immune, save for the Holy Ones: the Saints and Avatars. Everyone must take this path in his or her life, to rid themselves of the ignorance of Maya, the false pride at the erroneous perception of their separate existence, so they can merge back with the One, take their place as part and parcel of the Father: the only true goal in life. And the ignorance comes in different shades according to the proclivities of the individual, the unspent karma and unfulfilled desires they are working through, but it is all the same stuff – Maya, identification with the illusion of the separate self.

And times of crisis in the outer, such as we are witnessing now, on grand scale, and which in truth are just beginning, are ripe times for the human to turn back towards their inner Divinity, reignite that spark of light which exists inside, so bright, so they can free themselves and their brethren. Thus be fooled not by the fancy facades of this world, which are all but temporary, and put your efforts in the right direction, the direction of truth. For the Father, Himself, helps all those souls that do so. Many will perish, many will fall, but so too many will rise up and find within themselves a strength that they did not know existed, because it is born of the Divine. And this strength – the strength to do real good – exists in each one. 

Thus seek out this strength, this spark, this inner light, and be one of the chosen ones, to steer this ailing ship out of the harbours of danger, across the tumultuous ocean, and to the shores of peace, truth and unity. It starts with each one doing the work – putting their efforts in the right direction, to better themselves and in so doing all those around them. The time is nigh, the process of transmutation from one age to another already underway, and one can fight – foolhardily, resisting what is – or submit, surrender to the pull of the Divine that wants nothing but to bring each one back to their final resting ground: the abidance of God in their heart, the realisation of the One in the all and the all in the One. Amen.

Silence Speaks: the unstruck sound, the sound to bring you back home, back to Godhead – the one true uniting force permeating all beings, all places, all things. And I speak to those who take the time to listen, to still the mental chatter, so that they can rise above the illusion and find their place once more with the totality of all that ever was, is, and shall forever be. Thus, down your tools – wherever you are, whoever you are – and see if you can hear my voice, which is the voice of purity and truth. And keep listening till you get it, and there is no doubt left in your being that the Father and you are One. From thence, embrace all your brothers, your sisters, no matter their outward appearance, behaviour, caste or creed. For you all spring from the same source, and it is that same source to which you will all return. Thus, help not hinder each other, so you can all sleep peacefully at night, safe in the knowledge that you are One, and so that the outer charade no longer affects you. For it is just that – a passing game to wake the ignorant masses up out of their stupor, so that they can find their way back home. The time is nigh. No more sleepless nights, or false pain, just peace, unity and bliss, as you reside once more in the essence of your being, which is the essence of the all. Amen.

The Monsoon Speaks: a time for going inside, clearing away the clutter of the months or year gone by, being still, being silent, purging any erroneous perceptions built up over time – any anger, any sadness, any fear, anything and everything that is not of truth. For truth – this is where I lead the dedicated seeker, back to the centre of their own being, which is the essence of the All. Thus, fear not the rumbling thunder claps and sparks of lightning radiating in the sky, nor the heavy downpours. For it is all designed to purify – purify the festering ignorance so that the light of truth can shine forth, like the clear blue sky once the thunderstorm has had its say. What you see out there is really a mirror of what is deep inside, both individually and collectively. Thus embrace the purge and be ready – ready to step forth back in to action the other side, not as the small egoic self, but as the universal consciousness you know yourself to be, ready to stand and fight for truth, even if, and especially if this is not what you see around you. No more falsity, die for truth. This is the message I bring and the peace I bestow. Amen.

Freedom is the moment of arrival at the goal you have been seeking all your life, whether consciously or unconsciously. It is the goal to which all human beings aspire. It can be sudden, like the click of the fingers, or painfully evolve little by little, as the human part of you clings in fear. And this is the only cause of trouble: the human part – the part that thinks it is separate striving for name, glory or fame, hankering after the perfect partner, home, job, when all of this can be snatched away in an instant, leaving the human convulsing in pain. This is when the moment is ripe to start the journey – the journey back to the One. But it can come with hardship of the type that most are not inclined to put themselves through, because it means loss not gain, and the human is taught to seek gain by the society that wishes to grow and support itself above the other, elbowing their neighbours out, so they can have the biggest piece of the pie. Who thought up this foolish game? If everything is God, and all are interconnected parts of the whole, why such ignorance, whither must we suffer so? The answer is the pathway back to the One. For we start to seek, and the further we go, the more we lose, till we find it is just ourself, standing alone, unchained, unbound and free… Amen. 

The Lotus Flower Speaks… I speak of growth and renewal, and complete transformation from one state to another, from dense earthly issues to purified states of consciousness, in which one recognises themselves as a part of the one, and so too each one. And this involves the deep dive in, in to the murky waters of existence, till one penetrates the truth and emerges victorious out of their own depths in to the shimmering light of the one, shining their effulgent light out on to all on their path, no longer caught up in and tainted by the chaos of illusion that surrounds the human race, but free and standing apart from and seeing things from a new all-encompassing perspective. And I am born again and again to symbolise the transient nature of life, with each one incarnating again and again, donning a new vessel, till the work is truly done, and one has gleaned the final message and is free: a Jivanmukta – liberated whilst living, only needing to return again if the Gods so will it to help release the human race from their suffering and the quagmire of delusion, else shining free as the one all-encompassing whole.

Thus, let my beauty be a symbol, an emblem, of the path of growth to which all can aspire, and to which all feel the pull, to varying degrees, consciously or unconsciously, the pull to be free, at peace and at one with the all, resting comfortably in their skin, yet so too not identified with it. For they have moved beyond the limiting confines of the illusion and know themselves to be one with the all-embracing whole, nurtured from within and emitting light from within and in eternal contact with the one who moves the all. Know that the work is already done, the truth already contained within, only waiting to shine forth when the human is ready to let go of their false identifications and take their place as one with Me – the ever-shining light of truth. This is the journey from dark to light and the only true journey that there is to take in life. For it alone will take you to the eternal: the One God who exists in and sustains the all, Amen.

We are all the same… What does it mean, when I don’t look like you, talk like you, think like you; when I was born in a different culture and country and have totally different aspirations, different levels of privilege or other, riches or poverty? How thus can we all be said to be the same and the world be said to be a fair place? But the answer lies in going inside. For all of the above are merely the outer differences that keep me separate from you and while I remain separate from you, I remain separate from the One, the Infinite, the Father, the Mother, the Whole. Thus, what is being asked of us all right now is to drop these facades and journey in to the depth of our beings. For it is there and there alone that lies our pathway back to the whole.

Look at the stones within my circle, see how they are all different shapes and sizes, yet see too how without even one the circle would not be complete. For we all together comprise the whole, and thus each thought, word and action cannot but reverberate in to the whole. Keep your thoughts in check, therefore, for as you judge the one, you judge the all, and you judge yourself, and the release of such judgment and the seeing and treating of the other as a part of you is the pathway to being seen and treated as you would wish to be treated, as the mission spirals outward and more and more souls wake up. So too, it spells the dissolution of the illusory lines of separation in which you step out of the matrix and find your freedom.

And the pathway: love – love for the One, the Father, the Mother, the Earth; Knowledge – Self-enquiry – rather than seeking to understand others, seek to understand yourself; and service – serving the One true God in everything that you do, and that means the God in me and the God in you too. Righteous action, Dharma, faith, Self-belief, love, compassion – let these qualities which are innate within each one, little by little ooze out from your being till they take over and expunge the darkness within and make all your actions pure, like the Holy Ones that walked before you. This is the pathway to redemption for the one and for the all and so too the pathway to being enveloped at last in the arms of the One and the all, no longer a separate part, but whole and free and liberated whilst living.

Go with a blessing of peace and faith that the final leap is closer to hand than you once realised. Close your eyes, put your faith in God and trust Him to do the rest. For He suctions like a magnet all His children back in to His arms. They just need to show willing to put their eyes on the eternal, not the ephemeral and the One becomes the all and you are home, abiding in a state of eternal peace and bliss, no matter the outer charade. The journey has already begun and it does not stop until you reach the goal: the final moment of union, the merger of all the separate parts within and without, inside, and from thence the illusion falls and you are free, liberated. This is Moksha and this is the purpose of the human birth. Know that the work is already done. You are home, you just do not quite know that you are home. Open your eyes and see the truth that is glaring before them, of the Me in you and the you in Me, the One in the All and the All in the One, Amen.

Twilight speaks… The distance between night and day, dark and light, and all illusory opposites, the moment of truth where it is possible to penetrate the illusion, break out of the cycle of suffering and find your freedom, established in the centre. This is why it is recommended to meditate at this time. For the veils between the worlds, the world of matter and spirit, are thinner, and one can more easily access new levels of awareness. And as in nature, the shift from dark to light, so too in the human, and the world at large, again and again, from age to age. The only way to break free thus being to step outside and see things with a new pair of eyes, see it for the Divine Lila that it is, and in so doing become free from the bonds that tie you down. 

Thus seize this moment, for yourself and for the whole. For the quicker you awaken, the quicker the experience will shift for the whole. Do not fear the dark, for the stars shine brightly within it, never tainted one iota by it, in fact shining more brightly because of it. Instead go in to your own darkness, till you find too the penetrative light within, the all-encompassing light of the One, exploding in to your being, and lifting you once and for all out of despair, out of suffering, and in to the state of the eternal, the unchangeable, everlasting bliss that you are. The opportunities are many, yet those who take the leap, few, through fear of their own darkness – projected out. Thus, be one of the few to transmute inside, all the way, till there is nothing left to transmute and the Magnum Opus is complete: a Divine Human born, Amen.

Recognise the effulgence of your being, the God light, the light of the Divine within, and with this, you are equipped to face all of life’s challenges: the highs, the lows, the good times, the bad times, and remain in the centre. For everything is a passing phase: the only guarantee, change. Thus to find the impenetrable within you is to find your balance and is the pathway to carry you through the changing times. And to do so requires the deep dive in, not the outward seeking. For everything around you will come and go. Connect to the Masters, the Holy Ones, the Sacred Sites – all of these things will steer you till the realisation at last dawns that it is a mirror of your own light. And this spells completion. For it is a recognition of the wholeness within – the immanence of Divinity – and the pathway to both your own freedom and the leading of other souls to theirs. Thus, no effort is in vain. Meritorious action always reaps positive results on the long and sometimes lonely journey till you reach your goal and the spark of the Divine ignites your being, infusing every cell and bathing you in the light of the Divine: your natural state.

From thence, your struggles are over – no matter what unfolds in the outer. For the light comes from within and is a constant source, not dependent on other. Thus seek this light. And to those who seek this very day – the Summer Solstice – the sun in the sky can lift and elevate. For the portals are open, ready to flood you with source light, which is one and the same as the light which ignites all things. Your light shines bright, Dear One, obscure it not with the mundanities of life. Instead remember it in every waking moment till the full realisation dawns and the small self is subsumed in the transcendental Self and you are free. The pain is merely in letting go of that which is false within you. So make haste, Dear One. Shed those tears, those outdated scripts and be – the one you always were and are: free, released from bondage, aligned with truth, back home – even whilst in the human body, aware and fully conscious of the Me in you and the you in Me, Amen.

I speak of human transformation and potential, from one state to another, a shedding of skin, a discarding of everything that has had its day and a birthing to the new. For it is only in discarding completely that which is false, corrupt, haggard and spent that the new can come through. Else it is just a re-patching up, re-formulating old, tired formulas. Thus do not be afraid to let go of that which you are called to let go of – out dated ways of thinking or being in the world. For it is these that keep you trapped. Take yourself through the initial discomfort of letting them go so that you can slither free in to a new awakening, a new way of being that is more suited to all that you can become. And watch us, how we do it again and again, never looking back, only forward to the new, the pure, the true.

And do not fear us, for we – like you – have a place in keeping the system of the whole ticking over and operating the way that the Lord intended. For we are all God’s creatures no matter the form, each with a different function to perform. Thus find your function and let others carry out theirs and see if there can be acceptance of all. For though we may be poisonous and have a sting, we rarely have occasion to make use of our venom. We use it only as a final resort for self-preservation, when our ways are disrupted and we react in fear – much like the human. Thus, taunt us not and we shall not taunt you, and take courage on the path that everything has its place, all cycles pass. For they are just that: a cycle. The human birth and death is just one such cycle leading on to another form, whilst the essence, the truth of all beings remains no matter the form. For the truth of your being cannot be corrupted or broken down.

Thus, as you engage with worldly affairs, take care to keep only one foot in this world, not to be too bogged down and all consumed by it. For you miss the point of life which is to come in to communion with the hidden, more expansive, all-encompassing Self. Do not fear change or resist it either. Instead take courage and rise up and be part of that change in whatsoever way you are called. And do not be afraid to stand for your ideals, even if this is not what you see around you. Do not unduly disturb or try to stamp out others, for this is when their venom stings you. Instead go your own way and show by example that which you wish to see and birth. For you are not a passive bystander, but one complete part of this whole. This is the message I bring. It is only in following your path and finding out who you truly are that you will be free and a world full of more Self-Realised souls is a world that speaks of harmony and balance and acceptance of other. It cannot come from outside. It has to come from inside. Thus, go with faith and enjoy the ride to the birthing of the new you that is fearless in your pursuit of truth and will stop at nothing till the final birthing of the new dawn in which you realise that everything you need – everything you are seeking – is already contained within. Amen.
