I have always done this&#8212;in full faith that someone is listening.</p><p>At around this time last year, I asked the Guides to &#8220;send me a letter&#8221; describing me as they see me&#8212;through their eyes. I woke, my mind full of message, full of response to my request.</p><p>An excerpt from their message:</p><blockquote><p>&#8220;<em>Last night, Amy, you prayed, asking us to send a letter describing you as we see you through our eyes.</em></p><p><em>And now we will speak that letter through you, and you will be receiver of these words and also speaker. For this is the time of realization that you are the one, the only one who can bless you, the only one who can include you into the wholeness of blessing. . .</em></p><p><em>And to you, Reader, even as we speak these words to Amy, we speak them also to you. For you too are good and you too are blessed, and you too are holy and a part of the wholeness of blessing.</em></p><p><em>So many words. So many words. So many words to say such a simple thing, to offer such a simple blessing: You are good.</em></p><p><em>And why is this so? Why do we need so many words?</em></p><p><em>Because for so long, so many words have described you as broken, as un-blessed, as sinful, as cruel, as evil, as messy, as clumsy, as awkward&#8212;as otherwise separate from blessing. And with those words was the intention to separate you from your own goodness.</em></p><p><em>And we tell you now that you are already perfect and in need of no such fix. Already as you should be, and in need of no such medicine. For nothing is wrong, and you are the holy one, the only one who can reject these words of un-blessing which you have swallowed, which you have absorbed in your walk through this world.</em></p><p><em>And we are here to say to you now: It&#8217;s time to find a new temple.&#8221;</em></p></blockquote><p>(You can read the rest of this beautiful message at<em> <a href="https://amyoscar.substack.com/p/the-temple-of-the-rose">The Temple of The Rose.)</a><br>(</em>You can read all of The Guides&#8217; messages <a href="https://theguidebook.substack.com/">here.</a>)</p><div><hr></div><p><strong>Last week&#8217;s message, this week&#8217;s realization . . .</strong></p><p>It&#8217;s only recently that the Guides have begun requesting that I record their messages. They are training me, I think, to speak their messages to you.</p><p>This is just another level&#8212;another layer of this training. They have been training me from the beginning of our conversation. They taught me to pay attention by showing me a ball in my mind&#8217;s eye, making a game of moving the ball across the field of my attention and dropping it into a chute. They trained me to attune my listening by playing different tones and asking me to hum along&#8212;aligning my own voice with their vibration.</p><p>They sent me <em>BIG</em> dreams, and as I woke up, we would think about them together. This still happens&#8212;though lately, I find they want me to do my &#8216;dreaming with them&#8217; in waking hours. And I am ready.</p><p>Now, when I sit and open to it, they pour messages through me. When I am not in meditation, they pour their messages through my writing. When I am with a client, they pour their message through me as imagery, which I can share with the client.</p><p>Last week&#8217;s transmission was a simple, terse reminder:</p><blockquote><p><em><strong>You are writing ABOUT us, but you are not listening TO us.</strong></em></p></blockquote><p>I understood immediately. It was time to actively engage again.</p><p>The Guides&#8212;Angelic Guardians of the Field of Love and Blessing&#8212;were letting me know:</p><blockquote><p>We came very close as you moved through the stages of your stroke and recovery. We were with you, guiding your steps. Now, we take a step back. We give you back to your own care&#8212;even as we hover close by and invite you (as always) to call on us whenever you want to engage.</p></blockquote><p>In other words: free will.</p><p>The message stayed with me, penetrating my awareness until I wasn&#8217;t even thinking about it anymore&#8212;I was simply listening again. And I began to share their messages again.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!Sjvr!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F8924c011-0b61-4217-be2b-648fe5608720_3024x4032.heic" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM"><div class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!Sjvr!,w_424,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F8924c011-0b61-4217-be2b-648fe5608720_3024x4032.heic 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!Sjvr!,w_848,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F8924c011-0b61-4217-be2b-648fe5608720_3024x4032.heic 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!Sjvr!,w_1272,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F8924c011-0b61-4217-be2b-648fe5608720_3024x4032.heic 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!Sjvr!,w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F8924c011-0b61-4217-be2b-648fe5608720_3024x4032.heic 1456w" sizes="100vw"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!Sjvr!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F8924c011-0b61-4217-be2b-648fe5608720_3024x4032.heic" width="1456" height="1941" data-attrs="{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/8924c011-0b61-4217-be2b-648fe5608720_3024x4032.heic&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:null,&quot;imageSize&quot;:null,&quot;height&quot;:1941,&quot;width&quot;:1456,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:null,&quot;bytes&quot;:2089828,&quot;alt&quot;:null,&quot;title&quot;:null,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/heic&quot;,&quot;href&quot;:null,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:true,&quot;topImage&quot;:false,&quot;internalRedirect&quot;:&quot;https://amyoscar.substack.com/i/158163806?img=https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F8924c011-0b61-4217-be2b-648fe5608720_3024x4032.heic&quot;,&quot;isProcessing&quot;:false,&quot;align&quot;:null,&quot;offset&quot;:false}" class="sizing-normal" alt="" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!Sjvr!,w_424,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F8924c011-0b61-4217-be2b-648fe5608720_3024x4032.heic 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!Sjvr!,w_848,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F8924c011-0b61-4217-be2b-648fe5608720_3024x4032.heic 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!Sjvr!,w_1272,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F8924c011-0b61-4217-be2b-648fe5608720_3024x4032.heic 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!Sjvr!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F8924c011-0b61-4217-be2b-648fe5608720_3024x4032.heic 1456w" sizes="100vw" loading="lazy"></picture><div class="image-link-expand"><div class="pencraft pc-display-flex pc-gap-8 pc-reset"><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container restack-image"><svg role="img" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 20 20" fill="none" stroke-width="1.5" stroke="var(--color-fg-primary)" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><g><title></title><path d="M2.53001 7.81595C3.49179 4.73911 6.43281 2.5 9.91173 2.5C13.1684 2.5 15.9537 4.46214 17.0852 7.23684L17.6179 8.67647M17.6179 8.67647L18.5002 4.26471M17.6179 8.67647L13.6473 6.91176M17.4995 12.1841C16.5378 15.2609 13.5967 17.5 10.1178 17.5C6.86118 17.5 4.07589 15.5379 2.94432 12.7632L2.41165 11.3235M2.41165 11.3235L1.5293 15.7353M2.41165 11.3235L6.38224 13.0882"></path></g></svg></button><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container view-image"><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 24 24" fill="none" stroke="currentColor" stroke-width="2" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" class="lucide lucide-maximize2 lucide-maximize-2"><polyline points="15 3 21 3 21 9"></polyline><polyline points="9 21 3 21 3 15"></polyline><line x1="21" x2="14" y1="3" y2="10"></line><line x1="3" x2="10" y1="21" y2="14"></line></svg></button></div></div></div></a></figure></div><p>Today, after my house was fully cleaned, I noticed something twinkling on the floor beneath the sofa where I sit to write these days.

</a></strong><em><strong><a href="https://amyoscar.substack.com/p/we-invite-you-to-claim-this-gift">Part One of this transmission: The Arrival of  the Messenger</a>.</strong></em></p><p><strong>Introduction:</strong><br>As the Transmission deepens, the Guides expand on the dream&#8217;s teaching, exploring the nature of sacred knowledge, natural systems, and the need to ground ourselves in inner wisdom. They weave ancient traditions with the universal flow, reminding us that the path to ascension begins with descent into our own depths.</p><p><strong>The Transmission</strong></p><blockquote><p><em>So, come now, into receptive listening. </em></p></blockquote><p>I close my eyes. I breathe. &#8220;I am here with you,&#8221; I say. And we begin again:</p><blockquote><p><em>Throughout history, your priestesses and priests have deliberately withheld information from the masses to protect the world from waves of wild and untrained energies that would emerge if such information fell into the wrong hands. Their intention was not to control you. That is not the way of the wisdom keeper. Rather power is granted through stages of initiation, opening in layers, a pyramid of ascension.  For just as unchecked power moving through a body would be painful, so would unchecked power, wielded by the collective, have its painful effects. </em></p><p><em>And that is our message today. There are natural systems in place, and some are right inside of you, within your own nature. These natural self-organizing and self-balancing systems protect you from overwhelming yourself with un-grounded surges of power. Just as your electricians understand that power must be grounded and, that wiring must be up to code and, that current must be stable, so your body knows. Just as your electrical products are designed and carefully screened to protect you and your children from shock and surge, from electrocution, so your body is shielded from the movement of too much &#8216;power&#8217; through your nervous system.</em></p><p><em>You understand the effects - and the pain - of lightning strikes. You have witnessed their effects in those who are killed and those who survive. Now, understand the sensitivity of your own nervous system.</em></p><p><em>Your brains and bodies are delicate bio-electrical systems held together by the grids of deliberate consciousness by attendance to their pattern by your own guardians - the devas of your incarnation: your guardian angels, whose sole responsibility it is to keep you safe, protected and whole. To keep you functioning and flourishing as you are designed. </em></p></blockquote><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank"

Flashes of imagery, as if I am being shown flash cards of story and symbol. </strong></p><blockquote><p><em>And so, we are drawing Amy&#8217;s attention to the vision she had many years ago, when the space shuttle challenger exploded seven minutes after takeoff. She was walking up the stairs at the 14th Street subway station </em>[in New York] <em>when she saw a bright flash inside of her head - and a sharp stab of pain behind her eyes and she heard a voice speak clearly: </em><strong>Stay on your planet!</strong> <em>The voice was</em> <em>so strong it made her gasp and she swooned and had to stop, gripping the hand railing to catch her equilibrium. </em></p><p><em>This was not a harsh or scolding voice but it shook her. She had no idea who spoke or what it might mean until, a few minutes later, entering the office, she found her colleagues huddled around a small television. &#8220;The space shuttle exploded,&#8221; they told her. There were no survivors. </em></p><p><em>Did she speak of what she&#8217;d heard? She does not remember but she doubts that she did for she was so young, only 28 years old, and she would have felt shy about such a strange proclamation. This was one of her first &#8216;downloads&#8217; and it felt strange and illuminated to her. The pain in her head had been quite real and unprecedented, the words entirely audible. Who had spoken them and how? And why had she heard them when she had nothing to do with the space program? And, for the purposes of our discussion here today, we ask: Why did she not share her experience?</em></p><p><em>Then, as now, we explain that the message Amy heard was sent (pulsated) to all humanity and each received it in his or her own way of reception. As Amy&#8217;s strongest way is listening (what some call clair-audiance) and imagery (visions and dreams) the message was translated through her into voice, image and a flash of pain. Her unique <strong>way of reception</strong> called it through her into that form. The same message was received by all - some received it as insight, the spark of awareness and a simple thought, like, &#8220;We should not shoot for the stars until we understand how to live in peace on Earth.&#8221;  Some could not receive it, so great was their shock and sorrow at the loss of human life.</em></p><p><em>Each receives the message (and the flow) is her own way/in his own way. And as Amy heard it as words and felt it as pain, she also received it as knowing - as a download of information, for this was the essence of the message that day: the admonition to complete more work and more discovery here on earth before venturing into the sky. For though your technology may allow you to do much more, you have not yet mastered certain basic skills which you will need out there when you encounter other space travelers; for they are not &#8216;more advanced&#8217; than you in technology - your scientists have already figured out much of the science required. Yet they are more stable in their emotions and farther along the inner journey, the journey of unfolding. </em></p><p><em>This morning, we draw Amy&#8217;s attention to the story of Nikolai Tesla. Tesla&#8217;s discovery could have united the world in peace, making free energy available to all. When you have advanced as a collective to the point where you no longer murder your visionaries, perhaps you will be ready to travel to the stars. </em></p><p>W<em>hen your news coverage includes ALL of the available data, all of the science - the full picture - then all the earth&#8217;s citizens will begin to see the patterns. By &#8216;all the data&#8217; we include information on sunspots, sun storms and flares; crop circles and other interstellar/interspecies communication; the flows of the tides of your waters and winds, the pull and push of other bodies in space - planets, stars - on your planet, the solstices and seasons, the cosmological events, the behavior of the plants and animals and stones. </em></p><p><em>When these things are reported on the news as news, not separated out as occult or irrelevant, when they are no longer viewed as primitive, outmoded, old-fashioned, uninformed, you will begin to see the patterns. When you see the patterns you will be ready to begin the preparation for movement in other realms. </em></p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img"

Ancient peoples who have been pushed to the margins of society and labeled as &#8216;fringe&#8217; or outmoded, people whose works contain the secrets of the stars. </em></p><p><em>The native peoples, the shamans, the sages of ancient times. The priestess, the medicine woman, the sacred dancer and healer. These are the roots of the rites practiced in your churches and temples today. Yet they are pushed to the margins of the world and labeled &#8216;primitives&#8217;, &#8216;heretics&#8217;. &#8216;witches,&#8217; &#8216;wacko&#8217; and &#8216;woo-woo&#8217;.  Yet they do not so name themselves. They know who they are. They know what wisdom they carry. The feasts and celebrations, sacred languages and rituals&#8212;which they have carried forward through time, by their own effort and trial, against all manner of condemnation&#8212;speak to the code of your own DNA. </em></p><p><em>We have said before, such things you label as PSI, parapsychology, and &#8216;magic&#8217; are only outside the bounds of normal discourse because you name them so. These effects are not magic - they are the nature of your world and it is time and place now to re-awaken your awareness of these things. If you truly want to ascend, to enter the conversation of space travel, time travel, to attain the wisdom of the star people, look within. For it is there, encoded in your very heart and bones. If you want to find your way, you must observe, watch and listen. To ascend you must first descend within yourself. You must enter within. You must dive within. You must become real. </em></p><p>Received this day of 6-21-16</p></blockquote><p><strong>Reflection:</strong><br>In this part of the Transmission, the Guides highlight the wisdom of natural systems&#8212;within the body, the earth, and the cosmos&#8212;that balance and protect us. The call to &#8220;descend within&#8221; echoes through the ancient traditions they reference, urging us to honor the sacred knowledge encoded in our very being.</p><p>This message also invites us to examine how we engage with power, both individually and collectively. The story of Tesla and the Challenger explosion reveals the consequences of wielding power without grounding it in wisdom and compassion.</p><p><strong>Invitation:</strong></p><ul><li><p>Reflect on the balance between outward achievement and inner growth. How do you ensure that your actions are aligned with your deeper values?</p></li><li><p>Explore an ancient tradition or practice that feels resonant to you.

I recorded these notes into my cell phone at 4 am. It&#8217;s a long one, rich and layered, as the guides had much to say. So grab a warm beverage and dive in and I&#8217;ll meet you in the comments and chat  &#10084;&#65039;&#128591;</p><p><strong>The Guides say:  </strong></p><blockquote><p><em>Your leaders, teachers, politicians, and other influencers gain power by generating a compelling story around themselves. When that story is built around fear, it seems even more important, more urgent that you respond, react and participate. This is because fear is the most compelling emotion - and more capable than love in motivating <strong>reaction,</strong> which is action without thought, without consideration, without freedom. </em></p><p><em>In truth, nothing is more powerful than Love - but when a fearful story is repeated over and over, you may begin to enter a kind of trance - a state of unreality inside of which what is not real seems real. From this state, as if hypnotized, you take actions which, though they make perfect sense inside of the illusion, might not be actions you would choose to take, if you were free.  When you believe that the fearful story is real, you do things which create the conditions of the fearful story. </em></p><p><em>This must be understood. When you act from inside of the fearful story, you are not free. You are compelled by the fearful story and it is creating itself as real  <strong>through you.<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-1" href="#footnote-1" target="_self">1</a></strong></em></p><p><em>The more fearful the story the more compelling it can feel, the more difficult it will seem to break free. Yet awakening is easy. As simple as opening your eyes - and so, we are here today to offer guidance to help you move through this time with the least harm. We are here to offer our hand and guide you across the bridge of awakening to a new world.</em></p><div><hr></div><p><em>Television creates a generative trance, magnifying all stories. When a fearful story gets hold of a large group of people all feel the tidal pull, as more and more people are pulled into the illusion. Some join the tide to support the fearful story. Others come to argue and defend the belief system they believe in. This is not new. This is how evolution happens. As you move through this process, as both sides fight for their story, something new - a new story and a new world - is being born.</em></p></blockquote><div><hr></div><blockquote><p><em>Right now, all are crossing through a layer of conditioning and fear, as if you were swimming in a sea of plastic debris, discarded into a wide deep ocean that touches every shore. This layer, congested with the fearful thoughts of others, cannot harm you but it may distract you. As you pass through this layer, do what you can to stay connected to Love. </em></p><p><em>Allow the debris to flow by without attaching your attention to any of it.  None of these thoughts belongs to you. None of these thoughts need be followed. </em></p><p><em>If a thought becomes compelling to you and you find yourself following it, do not not dismay. For even as you catch yourself following that thought, you are waking up again. </em></p><p><em>We have given Amy, the suggestion that she watch as little television as possible and instead, to walk outside in the natural world. This will automatically reset and re-calibrate her state of being, making it much easier to release residual (old) stories of suffering in the days to come. We have suggested that she release into our care all of the precious notebooks filled with the loss and love and memory. It is time to walk into new stories now it is time to live again.</em></p><p><em>You are almost there. Know that you are capable now of easily and quickly releasing any thought no matter how compelling. Trust that all is well.&nbsp;Know that we are here with you and surrounding you with blessing.</em></p><p>End of Transmission. <a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM"

In each of these landing spots, there is teaching on these same themes. As these teachings support my own journey through the layers of confusion and fear, I&#8217;m sharing them here to support your way.</p><p>This is from the book, <em>Project 369: Evolved Consciousness, The Key to the Universe.</em> </p><blockquote><p>&#8220;You attract the state you are in, not the state you want. Since this is law, you cannot now and never will manifest the results of a state you are not in.</p><p>&#8220;Everyone operates in a different state of consciousness (belief system). The beliefs through which one views the world are the same beliefs that create their world. Some people are aware of this, and others are not. </p><p>&#8220;Many have fallen into the trap of identifying themselves with the self that is limited to their current belief system, without realizing that deep within them lies a self that transcends all limitations and beliefs. </p><p>&#8220;You see, your infinite self simply sees what is &#8211; without judgment, reason or logic &#8211; whereas your limited self tries to define what is, through reason, logic and judgment. </p><p>&#8220;The limited ever-changing self has no option but to see things in this way because it has been programmed through past experiences. &nbsp;In contrast, our changeless self, which is unconditioned and eternal, has the ability to change, revalue, expand an even wipe this program out completely.&#8221; &#8212; page 6</p></blockquote><div><hr></div><p>Holding the guides message alongside the teaching from 369 (above), I ask questions and listen for response.</p><ol><li><p><strong>What do the guides mean by </strong><em><strong>Television creates a generative trance?</strong></em><strong> <br></strong>The word <em>Generative</em> means: &#8220;relating to or capable of production or reproduction.&#8221;<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-3" href="#footnote-3" target="_self">3</a>  The word <em>trance</em> refers to "a <a href="https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-1-d&amp;sca_esv=8315c933f3d307ba&amp;q=half-conscious&amp;si=AKbGX_rZJs_XCIYOkWAjSH3UAcF542TKwI8JNRwnpb7BWNXIS5-rSJYh1c2dJ9S92D74J8ghkKExRF0F4a6teIRXjhZz7WymHRm7ps7fBNvnJsYk2V8vjPs%3D&amp;expnd=1">half-conscious</a> state characterized by an absence of response to external <a href="https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-1-d&amp;sca_esv=8315c933f3d307ba&amp;q=stimuli&amp;si=AKbGX_okS0g0kR2PXn0TLBASIc0mj4Fe9Z2cDUCznlkN1irH-yF_9eVFDNq3j10jQ51A3OLNrOjvz-JjpP6T5F6O4fIbDBPzoLPkGJaRAcfUnXICJxz7zUg%3D&amp;expnd=1">stimuli</a>, typically as induced by <a href="https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-1-d&amp;sca_esv=8315c933f3d307ba&amp;q=hypnosis&amp;si=AKbGX_qNq0Y8zql7SxzZAf2-HTTOIGxY3ik92AWhmVaWDx-u0VxZGgHNbSENSNCfzns3NBcfkUy5wOO-WCbIOUoKv7WUfhc852d2HJPMUYnTYY0cBbT9Eu0%3D&amp;expnd=1">hypnosis</a> or entered by a medium.&#8221;  The guides are saying that watching television can generate (create) a half-conscious state in viewers. This half-conscious state makes us suggestible to marketing and political messages, as if we were being hypnotized. (There are libraries filled with research on this matter. For a quick overview, see the Fast Company article in footnotes.)</p></li><li><p><em><strong>We create reality from the state we are in.</strong></em><strong> What does this mean? </strong></p><p>Each of us creates from within the story that we believe in. That story builds the world around us. From inside of that world, we generate our own <em>state &#8212; </em>of mood, feeling, anxiety or calm. In response to our state, reality responds. </p></li></ol><p>The guides say: </p><blockquote><p><em>Reality forms around you, creating itself in response to your state. You respond to what is around you, further confirming that reality by your own action upon it. As you perform action on the reality around you, it seems more and more real. </em></p></blockquote><p>According to the guides, we have a partner in this Creation. That partner is God.</p><div class="pullquote"><p><em>And here it is important to pause, and to clarify that when we say God what we mean is Love. What we mean is Truth. We mean the abiding and foundational vibration of divinity - which is to say, Life. Which is to say, the Wholeness of Creation. </em></p><p><em>When we say the word God, we are speaking of All That Is Visible and Invisible - All that is and has been and will be. For all is one and that is what we mean when we speak of God.</em></p></div><blockquote><p><em>And so, we speak now of this first level of awareness - the awareness of your own state. </em></p><p><em>You are responsible for observing the state you are in and discerning whether the story you are following is supporting a state of well-being or a state of fear. You are responsible to ask: Is this the optimal set of beliefs for me? Does the story I am following lead to the world that I would, if I had the choice, want to live in?</em></p><p><em>At this level it is entirely possible to change the story. You do this by choosing a story you prefer. There is always a better story nearby. It is always possible to uplift and increase your well-being - even by the smallest action. For example, working with imaginative projection, you can change your local conditions. Begin small. Clean out a drawer or spruce up your living environment. Imagine as you wash the dishes and fold the laundry that you are tidying the world around you. </em></p><p><em>This simple everyday activity can lighten your mood and, often, once the environment around you is in order, new ideas will come spontaneously. You may feel called to weed the garden or rearrange a cabinet or phone a friend you haven&#8217;t spoken with in a while. All of these seeming small things begin from the first level of awareness. Observation of the state that you are currently in and the realization that you can change (uplift) that state.</em></p><p><em>Uplifting your own state may seem like such a small thing and yet it&#8217;s the primary foundational piece of all that follows, the cornerstone upon which you will build a new reality. In this sense, reality is just like a house. You begin with a strong foundation, and build upward, brick by brick, board by board. </em></p><p><em>Television puts you into generative trance.<br>You create reality from the state you are in.<br>You do not create reality alone&nbsp;</em></p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank"

realization that someone or something is observing you &#8212; or is at the very least, interacting with you. </em></p><p><em>When you are sleep-walking through life, you can only follow the stories you are fed. You are the mirror, reproducing the beliefs and behaviors you see and hear. Once you awaken, you become the witness. It is then that you realize you are not alone. There is another beside you - a benevolent, loving witness is witnessing you!</em></p><p><em><strong>This is the second layer of awareness, the foundation of your freedom.</strong></em></p><p><em>From a state of sleep, reality acts upon you. From an awakened state, you can act upon reality. You can make choices. Awareness is the foundation. Choice is the creative clay of freedom.</em></p><p><em>This is where you can begin to execute real choices. In choosing what you pay attention to, you are &#8216;tidying up&#8217; your inner spaces - your mind, your heart and will. </em></p><p><em>When you blindly follow a fearful story, you move as if under a spell. You listen and react, reproducing the story you are told by projecting it onto the conditions around you. If you encounter a limit, you interpret it through the lens of the fearful story. If you encounter another person, you can only see them through that same lens, as opponent or enemy.</em></p><p><em>When you come awake, your eyes open to the truth. The world is wider than it once seemed. The fearful story is but one of many stories. The opponent turns out to be an ally, even a friend. </em></p><p><em>When you come awake, you can choose a better story to follow. You can lean into the support of the companion who is always there to help you. With awareness, you can ask - specifically or generally - for exactly what you need. You notice the many ways in which your prayers can (and will) be answered. </em></p><p><em>Now, you will naturally discern <strong>through your own eyes</strong> how things really are. </em></p><p><em>From this state, ask yourself questions, like: Are these things in my life in alignment with the good? Does this person, this purchase, this program on TV support my state of well-being? If not, make new choices. Bring things back into alignment with the good. You are free now and you no longer need to follow, blindly, hypnotized, by stories built on fear.</em></p><p><em>You are capable of discerning truth from illusion, fear from love. You recognize and want to follow the qualities of the good.</em></p><ul><li><p><em>The good is life-giving, inclusive, Joy, supporting, expansive, regenerative, life sustaining, with layers of color and beauty and music and pathways to creative expression for all.</em></p></li><li><p><em>You could say that the good is the state of well-being.&nbsp;</em></p></li><li><p><em>You could say that the good is the state of balance.&nbsp;</em></p></li><li><p><em>You could say that the good is the state of flow &#8212; an interconnected matrix of co-arising inside of which all thrive together. </em></p></li><li><p><em>You could say the good is the God State. </em></p></li><li><p><em>You could say the good is nature. </em></p></li><li><p><em>You could say the good is the state of all is one. </em></p></li></ul><p><em>Witness Consciousness is the realization that this state exists and that change is possible.

dreamy, blind sleep of the follower and the awakened awareness of Witness Consciousness.</p><p>From this layer, you can sense the presence of the good. You may feel that something or someone is calling your name, trying to get your attention from beyond the material world. You may experience signs and even, miracles. You may have flashes of connection, visionary imagery, and even, visitations from supportive, non-physical beings like angels. </p><p>This dreamy in-between layer is offered to soften the crossing between sleeping and waking. For many, it is a necessary passage. </p><blockquote><p><em>Though it is possible to shift from sleeping to waking by simply opening ones eyes, for many people this bridge layer is necessary. This will not always be the case but because there is such deep conditioning for so many now it is a gentle and generous kindness, allowing them to make a softer, smoother and less jarring transition from a state of sleep to awakened awareness.</em></p><p><em>Before there was television mass conditioning/hypnosis was done through the generative trance of religion. The great myths are  vast storehouses from which you have gleaned much information about the beliefs which generated the evolutionary states of thinking and feeling of peoples through the ages. Historically, conditioning was offered in these houses of worship. It was carried home and passed down through generations - through families and local relationships of commerce and cooperative living.</em></p><p><em>This is still the case though less so as television and other broadcast media have taken over this role</em></p><p><em>So, we would like to take one more moment to explore/explain what we mean by generative trance. We spoke earlier of the way that a politician, entertainer, teacher or leader can influence public opinion through the broadcasting of fear-based stories. </em></p><p><em>This was always the case but with television, those who influence others can do more damage as these messages are broadcast widely and frequently. A fear-based story can distort the individual experience of reality by disconnecting an individual - momentarily, through shocking images and words - from their natural connection to the source of the good.</em></p><p><em>By convincing you that you are in danger when you are not, these messages (fear-based stories) generate a sense of defendedness and fear of the world. When you are afraid, you cluster into groups of frightened people making it more and more difficult for Love and Truth (God) to reach you. </em></p><p><em>When you separate an individual from their connection to the good, you sever their natural connection to God, which is a terrible feeling, creating a deep sense of alienation and abandonment. <strong>And yet you are never truly separate from us.</strong> For even when you cannot see or feel us, we are here with you and always calling you back into alignment with the only story that&#8217;s real -  the story of your inclusion in the good - and to your one true home, the field of love and blessing.  </em></p><p><em><strong>Telling fear-based stories is profoundly unkind - and out of alignment with the good.</strong></em></p><p><em>Fear-based stories, like the knives of surgeons, are razor-sharp, designed to sever things. These stories are designed to cut your connection to love creating terror of things that are not real. Combined with the trance-inducing quality of screens, the power of these stories to influence your behavior can seem almost irresistible. <br><br>Yet as always, those who have eyes can see and those who have ears can hear. All of your prophets have spoken these words to point to the necessary awakening of witness consciousness. For it is only from this level of awareness that these trance states can be resisted, and true change can occur.</em></p><div><hr></div><p><em>And now we will speak of Amy - the bearer of our message today. She is moving, as all must now, through the miasm of other peoples nightmares. We want to reassure her this is only a temporary manifestation and that she is under our protection. All is well and she is strongly held &nbsp;and she is here with us and greatly loved. Indeed, she is already moving forward, as she is turning toward the fascinating phenomenon of a seeming conversation between her dreaming and her waking life, and with it the much faster, often instant, manifestation of thought into form/reality.</em></p><p><em>We have given Amy, the suggestion that she watch as little television as possible and instead, to walk outside in the natural world. This will automatically reset and recalibrate her state of being, making it much easier to release residual (old) stories of suffering in the days to come. We have suggested that she release into our care all of the precious notebooks filled with the loss and love and memory. It is time to walk into new stories now it is time to live again.</em></p><p><em>And these stories will be released they will be taken from all of you, for they are no longer needed. Let them go, let them go, let them go now. A new story is here to meet you on the other side of the bridge.</em></p><p><em>We return to you now, Reader, and we will close with the discussion with which we began: the discussion of the generative trance, and the importance of awakening to awareness of the layers, and your influence, as an individual over your own state and how that state influences your experience of reality.</em></p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank"

It feeds passivity and makes you less engaged.&#8221;</em></p><p><em>&#8220;TV increasingly traffics in violent programming to keep the viewer in a state of constant fear,&#8221; says <a href="http://www.unl.edu/english/wheeler-winston-dixon">Wheeler Winston Dixon</a>, Ryan professor of film studies at the University of Nebraska. &#8220;TV also acts as a pacifier, a sort of virtual escape, but it is one that never satisfies, and only leaves the viewer wanting more of the same emptiness.&#8221;</em></p><p></p><p></p></div></div>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA["I am not a being with a face.

class="pullquote"><blockquote><p><em>We carry the impulse/message of love between you and the force of love that made you. When your perception of separation is gone, when you understand that you are not (and never have been) separate from the divine force of Love who made you, we will melt away, becoming a part of you. We will be the glue, fusing you to Love, the Divine Wholeness. </em></p></blockquote></div><p>Last week, I woke up in conversation with an angel, who said, </p><blockquote><p><em>You have beheld my face 12 times but you did not see me. </em></p></blockquote><p>Why did I not see you? I asked. </p><blockquote><p>Y<em>ou were looking for another. The images by which you have known us  in the past are outdated and no longer in alignment with who we are. It is not that we are no longer here with you - only that you have confusion and shame about claiming relationship with us. As if your evolution has moved beyond us. And yet here we are. And here you are, perceiving our presence. You see us yet you struggle to claim us.  </em></p></blockquote><p>Tell me why you came to me. Why did you send me this dream?</p><blockquote><p><em>The angel you know as Raphael visits your dreams today to remind you there is no need to suffer as you do  When you ask for help, you trust that we are here. Yet recently, you do not ask. You are trying so hard to do it alone. To get the words just right as you describe this work that you do. We know that this has recently become more frustrating for you.</em></p><p><em>And so we visit your dreams to wake you up to our message! </em></p><p><em>You do not need to work so hard to find a core message. You ARE the message. Just as we are the message that we bring to you. All that you need to know is this: We are here with you. Likewise, all that your readers need from you is you are here with them. <strong>Be yourself out loud and those who are attuned to what you are will find you. Just as we are always ourselves even as you come and go, visiting with us, distancing us.</strong></em></p></blockquote><p>What did you mean when you said that you showed me your face 12 times? The angel answers:</p><blockquote><p><em>You call for the angel of healing constantly. When you worry about your body, your health, your food and drink, you call for me and, each time, the angel of healing responds. Yet you do not see me.  In truth, angel is not my name, nor Archangel. We who respond to your call are so much more than these names. </em></p><p><em><strong>I am not a being with a face. I am not an angel with wings. These images are representations of me yet I am more than what they convey and I am not limited by them - except in your perception.</strong></em></p><p><em>In truth, <strong>I am the force of healing itself.</strong> The force which knits together broken bone, the force that pushes pus to the surface of a burning wound. I am the force quiets the flesh under your healing salves.</em></p><p><em>I am the force that guides the hearts and hands of your healers, your doctors and nurses, your shamans and chemists. Any healer at work is infused, like sap running through a tree, with the force of what I am. </em></p><p><em>I am the force that powers hands-on healing (like the modality you know as Reiki but my name is not &#8216;Reiki&#8217;. ) I am the force that flows through the healer&#8217;s hands, the force that seals the bottom of the cut blossom, the force that browns the apple slice, that closes the wound in the tree when a limb is cut away. I am the vibration that attunes your immune system to wellness, the pulsation of balance and wholeness that calls your body (and your world) into alignment.</em></p><p><em><strong>I am not an entity with halo and wings, floating above you. </strong>I am the force of healing inside of your own cells and bones. I am the natural ability of your body to self balance, self organize and maintain health. I am built into your entire organism, and I coordinate all the levels of healing across all of your systems. </em></p><p><em>I am the force of life rebuilding itself.

&#8216;the angels&#8217;. You have been uncomfortable with being dubbed that &#8216;angel lady&#8217;. And we visit this day to re-mind you that this obsession with names has become an impediment in your ability to receive the guidance and the comfort that we bring. </em></p><p><em>It matters not what we are called. We respond to all names that vibrate with the gifts that we offer. Likewise, it matters not what YOU (or your work) are called. </em></p><p><em>This struggle is, at the core, a struggle with courage. Will you claim your own experience even when it differs from what others who came before you have claimed? To go along is the easier way. Will you honor what you see with your own eyes, what you hear with your own ears? </em></p><p><em>You&#8217;ve come a long way to build trust with our message and to develop the attentiveness it requires. Now, we come again (as we will always come when you turn toward us) to continue the conversation about the specific and precise way that you perceive us to be. </em></p><p><em>We come, not to shift your perception but to honor what you sense and know, and to encourage and invite you to share it with others so that they, too, may come to trust in their own perception of us. </em></p><p><em>Oh, we could appear before you with wings and swords and glowing halos, and we are willing to do so if that will demonstrate some sort of proof but it is not necessary. We are beyond form and though we have the ability within our tool kit to take on the robes and costume of any culture inside of which we appear, these images are too small to convey or contain what we actually are. </em></p><p><em><strong>We are the space between the Divine and the created, even as we are also the communication across that space. We are the messenger and the message, the paper and the pen. We are the letter and the space between mailboxes. </strong></em></p><p><em>Simply put: We carry the impulse/message of love between you and the force of love that made you. When your perception of separation is gone, when you understand that you are not (and never have been) separate from the divine force of Love who made you, we will melt away, becoming a part of you. We will be the glue, fusing you to Love, the Divine Wholeness. </em></p><p><em>In that sense, we are the part that you project across the space that you imagine/perceive separates you from the Divine. When that space is no longer needed or perceived, our bridging will dissolve and we will be absorbed back into what you (already) are, an expression of Love. &nbsp;</em></p><p><em>Many images/metaphors can work here. We have said that we are bridges, that we are messengers and that we are carriers of message. In  truth, we are metaphor itself for we are the image of connection/conversation/communion between minds - human and divine. </em></p></blockquote><p>The Guides shift direction here, going on to explain how Divine Mind is able to connect with and listen to us, individually and collectively; and, how that same inter-connectivity that we share with all creation makes it necessary for us to become more responsible about the ways that our mood affects the mood of others.  </p><blockquote><p><em>When you extend your hand into the air around you it seems that there is nothing there yet as you learned in elementary school this seeming &#8216;nothing&#8217; is filled with many invisible things. Molecules, microbes infections, germs, dust, pollen and, of course, light.</em></p><p><em>The air around you is infused with light. If it were not, you would not be able to see a thing. Because of this light, you are able to see and differentiate one thing from another. </em></p><p><em>For now this differentiation is necessary and causes your sense of separation from everything that you perceive Everything that you perceive is an extension of the wholeness of what you are. In truth, your air connects you as the water connects every fish in the sea. </em></p><p><em>In water. it is easier for humans to perceive that everything is connected. You can see and experience this connection - the water itself is the connector. You live in a sea of air - you can feel this when the wind moves the air - which connects you to all that surrounds you. </em></p><p><em>Still, let us stay with the example of the water for a moment. When you splash the water you send out a ripple, which moves away from you, gently bumping against everything in its way. Your small splash disturbs the sea only a little yet if you make wider, faster motion in the water, the ripples widen and move out more powerfully, becoming more perceptible to the plants and fish around you. Just as the invisible air is more perceptible to you when there is wind. </em></p><p><em>This is a simple example/metaphor of the truth of your impact upon the space around your physical body and the emotional mood space that you share with all of life. </em></p><p><em>For years we have been telling Amy that human behavior, especially intense emotional behavior creates effects in the physical world. Just as one in a temper or foul mood can sour the mood of a gathering or family dinner, so your heightened collective emotions go out as vibrational surges into the shared life space. When many are affected at once - as happens now that you have connected yourselves into a worldwide network via technology - it is possible for your smaller (individual) waves of fear, outrage or confusion to have greater effects when they join together in great surges and push out into the wholeness.</em></p><p><em>The challenge of your time is to learn to modulate these surges, individually and as a collective. This is important now that you are being influenced as a collective (through your interconnected social media and television). Now, more and more of you are, in a sense, of one mind. You are like a school of fish as you are more influenced by your media, by the things that people who influence thought and perception in your world say and do. The more that they stir things up, the wider and more powerful the waves become. </em></p><p><em>These surges of emotional activity influence the collective field &nbsp;in your world, there is the teaching about the wings of a butterfly, causing a tsunami on the other side of the world. This is an exaggeration, of course, but if all butterflies in places all over the world became agitated at once this would have a visible effect. Just as a rumbling under the ground of an ocean can create a tidal wave thousands of miles away, when all butterflies (or people) are focused together the power of their collective attention is greatly increased.  </em></p><p><em>It becomes increasingly important, therefore, to create a balancing critical mass of equanimity, a sense of contented non-attachment, which can help you to mediate your own reaction to emotional events. It is not necessary for you to do anything but follow your own nature in whatever way it leads you. Your own nature - your natural way - will always lead back to balance and equanimity.</em></p><p><em>And we are here to support your return. </em></p><p><em>We have said that <a href="https://amyoscar.substack.com/p/flow-20-holy-interruptions">this is a joy-led world</a>.  It is not your job to re-balance the energy of the planet. Rather, only turn to follow your own joy. Cultivate health. Savor all the colors and flavors. Chase beauty, wellness, abundance, pleasure, generosity, music, creativity, self expression, all of the ways of joy. </em></p><p><em>Become aware of thoughts and perceptions that limit your ability to experience joy, beauty, love and connection and turn your thoughts toward healing and making whole those areas of perceived by you as limitation to your unfolding. </em></p><p><em>Specifically, in the work that we have done with Amy, we have gathered these patterns from the stories people share.</em></p><ul><li><p><em>The sense that because of your childhood you cannot find your way to abundance, happiness or partnership/love.</em></p></li><li><p><em>The illusion that because your body is sick or damaged you cannot experience, abundant happiness, joyful relationship.</em></p></li><li><p><em>The story that because of ancestry or genealogy you are limited from the opportunity to have and experience joy, beauty, and joyful relationship.</em></p></li><li><p><em>Another set of patterns that we have recently encountered through Amy&#8216;s conversations with client include indoctrination into cult like beliefs , offered by sects of the church and other extremist religious theologies. This is a method of mind control and it can be overcome with the proper counseling similar to the counseling offered to terrorists and extremists of any sort.</em></p></li></ul><p><em>We are the force of healing and we will support any attempts you make to move in the direction of restoring your heart and mind and body to balance. Simply ask and we will arrive. We are the force of healing, held within the field of love and blessing and we are here with you, and we are all for you.</em></p><p><em>We end this transmission with one final reminder. <strong>Miracles are always possible but miracles are not always necessary.</strong> When you pray for a healing miracle we will always respond and usually, our response will come through you. </em>W<em>e will offer a small change in your thinking. That small change, like every other miracle, will change the world. </em></p><p><em>Every one of the transmissions that we offer through Amy (and the others who bring our message through) contain the potential to change your life. The seed is there and you are the gardener who must plant and tend it.</em></p><p><em>In truth, you are the miracle maker. You are the one whose mind can change. All it takes is the willingness to risk one small step across the bridge of separation that you perceive between your self and us, between your self and the Divine.  </em></p><p><em>In truth, you are never separate from the Divine who loves you beyond question beyond limit, and beyond and all diagnoses and past history. You are loved, and you are worthy of love. This single truth is healing medicine beyond all other miracles. The willingness to accept your own worthiness and your own deserving of divine attention, divine blessing and love. And the Grace that this confers. </em></p><p><em>And this is the end of this transmission this day April 22, 2024</em></p><div><hr></div></blockquote><p></p><div

works</em></p><p><em>An image is offered and woven into a message&nbsp;of healing that we wish to confer to you.</em></p><p><em>Often Amy is dreaming when the message begins and the message continues to stream toward her until it is fully received. This means that she will often get into the car and notice that the message is still with her, and she will begin to speak the message out loud into the dictation app on her cell phone. </em></p><p><em>This is convenient for us. We love your technology for this reason.</em></p><p><em>Another way that the message will continue is that Amy may be walking through a shopping mall or a forest and her attention will be drawn to certain objects or animals or words in her environment, and these will feel as if they are glowing &#8212; as if they are illuminated in some way. And she will turn her attention toward them, picking up an object from the ground or writing down a word. (In precisely this way, we delivered to Amy the new divination method of the Soul Call Cards and the constellation process* which we gave with the cards.)</em></p><p><em>We pause to acknowledge that Amy is offering a workshop this month about Constellation - Workshops are also one of the inventions that we like a lot. In a workshop, we are able to interact with you and by your presence and your questions we are able to offer more information through Amy , and we are able to articulate our message even more clearly and specifically to tailor it to what you are asking to hear.</em></p><p><em>We are also always constellating with you and your environment and when you become aware of our presence in the field around you in your local environment, you will become more and more aware of the signs that we send to get your attention and to bring a message through in response to what you are presently asking. </em></p><p><em>It&#8217;s important for us to explain that we are never imposing a message. We are not here to teach you anything. We are response responding. We are the proof of the statement, &#8216;Ask and it is given.&#8217; We are an expression of the call and response nature of your reality. </em></p><p><em>There are many proofs beyond what we offer here but we do not ask you to believe us nor do we ask that you believe IN us.  We encourage you to question. Test everything that we say against your own experience. Only then will you discover what is real and what is not only then will you break the bonds of all conditioning through your own lived experience. </em>O<em>ur purpose is not to break those bonds. Our purpose is not to change you. </em></p><p><em>Rather, our purpose is to respond and because Amy has an interest in breaking the bonds of conditioning you will find that in our messages through her. Bring us your own questions and our responses will reflect your concerns. </em></p><p><em>This is what we mean by constellation. This is the proof  that your questions and concerns shape the response from the world around you .&nbsp;Ask and let us show you.</em></p></blockquote><p></p><div

imperfect. <em>I should be thinner, better, farther along in my career,</em> it told me, blaring on about all the ways that I&#8217;d let myself down. I was close to tears when I sensed a softening, a presence around me, beside me. <em>Hush. listen. let us help you.&nbsp;</em></p><p>Instantly, my heart lifted because .... oh how grateful I am when the guides manage to get my attention. I am so very glad they are here.</p><p>Here&#8217;s what they told me.</p><blockquote><p><em>You are not meant to perfect yourself. You are human - here to learn, to explore, not to carve yourself into a reflection of the gods. </em></p><p><em>You are not meant to marry the animal body and the Godself into one blended thing. This is not possible in the way that you are thinking about it - not really - for the notion that these things are separate in the first place is the error. </em></p><p><em>There are no parts of the self - no EGO bossing around the other aspects, no pain body, not really - these are concepts meant to help you understand who and what you are.</em></p><p><em>There is much confusion about this. You are here for such a brief time - never meant to merge but to twinkle and shimmer together&nbsp;for a time of divine play. Never meant to be encased in this one body forever - for then, when the body's life ended, it would be the end of the Godself. And death is not the end - it is the release of the energy back into the wholeness. Back into the&nbsp;Godself which all creation shares. For Godself is eternal and divine light shimmers through all Creation. </em></p><p><em>Light flows freely. And&nbsp;so YOU&nbsp;are meant to flow, bright being, meant to 'embody' this physical form for a time and then, you will let it go. Therefore, do not become enmeshed in an argument with this body - this form. Simply be with it, as you would be with a friend who has walked with you for a while. Do not argue with its faults and complaints - rather, attend to them,&nbsp;listen to them as calls for your attention. For&nbsp;this is what they are.</em></p><p><em>Listen and attend to these calls for they are leading your toward awakening - not toward perfection. </em></p><p><em>What is awakening now is your conscious&nbsp;awareness of Godself in you. And this is a stage of maturity - one which will allow your animal body and your Godself to dwell together in companionable friendship.&nbsp;You need only to create a relationship between your body and that part of yourself which you know as 'Me" - to allow them now to befriend one another - to honor one another as friend and guide - for each has much to learn from the other. </em></p><p><em>Welcome your body home - the&nbsp;exiled physical self - the hungry, messy, bloody and imperfect creature self. Welcome HER into the fullness of blessing. Release her from the condemnation of imperfection and the idea that she is&nbsp;not as she should be.</em></p><p><em>Release, through forgiveness, the error that was implanted into the mind, which has told you that your work on earth is to perfect yourself. For we say now: You are already perfect - and every one of your avatars has shouted this message from his, from her mountaintop.&nbsp;</em></p><p><em>When you separate their teachings from the words of their interpreters, you find the true voice, the clear voice of the one who is in touch with the clear stream of the message.&nbsp;And the message is the same: You are loved. You are blessed. You are already perfect. Nothing you do can exile you. You are a part of the wholeness and fullness of love - and never alone.&nbsp;Our message is the same.</em></p><p><em>Here you are, as you are.<br>This is it, as this is.<br>And all of this is love.<br>Rest and play inside the field of our love.<br>Do what you can, gently and with great respect,to peel away any story that says otherwise.<br>Trust and the way will take care of itself.&nbsp;</em></p></blockquote><div><hr></div>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[Q: Who are the Guides? ]]></title><description><![CDATA[The guides that I work with flow a non-denominational message of love and peace.

I think of them as a kind of emissary or intermediary, serving to flow communication between human and divine intelligence.</p></li><li><p><strong>They are not judging us. <br></strong>They have no agenda and are not interested in getting anything from us. Their purpose is to accompany, uplift and support humanity through a time of transition.</p></li><li><p><strong>They are not trying to make us follow their ways.</strong> <br>They are teachers, offering their perspective from the field (realm) of love and blessing. As such, their teachings invite us into that perspective for it is only from there that we can help midwife (co-create) the field of love and blessing on earth. </p></li></ul><h4>Simply stated: To create a world of love, we must first be able to see (visualize)  and sense (imagine) it. The Guides are here to help us envision, imagine, manifest and inhabit that world. That world is here and emerging inside of this one. Our choice to acknowledge and engage with that world will make it real.</h4><h4></h4><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!ws4N!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Faff81053-c5ae-492d-ad43-55984fca46e2_1080x720.jpeg" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM"><div class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!ws4N!,w_424,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Faff81053-c5ae-492d-ad43-55984fca46e2_1080x720.jpeg 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!ws4N!,w_848,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Faff81053-c5ae-492d-ad43-55984fca46e2_1080x720.jpeg 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!ws4N!,w_1272,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Faff81053-c5ae-492d-ad43-55984fca46e2_1080x720.jpeg 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!ws4N!,w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Faff81053-c5ae-492d-ad43-55984fca46e2_1080x720.jpeg 1456w" sizes="100vw"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!ws4N!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Faff81053-c5ae-492d-ad43-55984fca46e2_1080x720.jpeg" width="1080" height="720" data-attrs="{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/aff81053-c5ae-492d-ad43-55984fca46e2_1080x720.jpeg&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:null,&quot;imageSize&quot;:null,&quot;height&quot;:720,&quot;width&quot;:1080,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:null,&quot;bytes&quot;:77792,&quot;alt&quot;:null,&quot;title&quot;:null,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;href&quot;:null,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:true,&quot;topImage&quot;:false,&quot;internalRedirect&quot;:null,&quot;isProcessing&quot;:false,&quot;align&quot;:null,&quot;offset&quot;:false}" class="sizing-normal" alt="" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!ws4N!,w_424,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Faff81053-c5ae-492d-ad43-55984fca46e2_1080x720.jpeg 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!ws4N!,w_848,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Faff81053-c5ae-492d-ad43-55984fca46e2_1080x720.jpeg 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!ws4N!,w_1272,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Faff81053-c5ae-492d-ad43-55984fca46e2_1080x720.jpeg 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!ws4N!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Faff81053-c5ae-492d-ad43-55984fca46e2_1080x720.jpeg 1456w" sizes="100vw" loading="lazy"></picture><div class="image-link-expand"><div class="pencraft pc-display-flex pc-gap-8 pc-reset"><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container restack-image"><svg role="img" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 20 20" fill="none" stroke-width="1.5" stroke="var(--color-fg-primary)" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><g><title></title><path d="M2.53001 7.81595C3.49179 4.73911 6.43281 2.5 9.91173 2.5C13.1684 2.5 15.9537 4.46214 17.0852 7.23684L17.6179 8.67647M17.6179 8.67647L18.5002 4.26471M17.6179 8.67647L13.6473 6.91176M17.4995 12.1841C16.5378 15.2609 13.5967 17.5 10.1178 17.5C6.86118 17.5 4.07589 15.5379 2.94432 12.7632L2.41165 11.3235M2.41165 11.3235L1.5293 15.7353M2.41165 11.3235L6.38224 13.0882"></path></g></svg></button><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container view-image"><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 24 24" fill="none" stroke="currentColor" stroke-width="2" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" class="lucide lucide-maximize2 lucide-maximize-2"><polyline points="15 3 21 3 21 9"></polyline><polyline points="9 21 3 21 3 15"></polyline><line x1="21" x2="14" y1="3" y2="10"></line><line x1="3" x2="10" y1="21" y2="14"></line></svg></button></div></div></div></a></figure></div><p>When I first became aware of the Guides in my early twenties, I knew them as &#8216;the Universe&#8217;, &#8216;the fairies&#8217;, &#8217;the flow&#8217;, &#8216;the Divine&#8217; or even, OM.  The guides seem to find it amusing the way we humans need to name everything. When I ask them directly, &#8220;What is your name?&#8221; they laugh and tease me with names from historical times. </p><p>When I was just starting out, I was guided by a presence I knew as Archangel Michael and another I knew as Mary. Though I still call on both of these lights, more recently, as the world has been moving through the late stages of birthing a new world, I&#8217;ve found myself called to the teachings of Mary Magdalene and the Black Madonna/Destroyer archetypes, so necessary in this time of chaos and dissolution of the old. </p><p>Each of these powerful allies has appeared in my life in times of expansion and then, quietly faded into the background. </p><p>There are others - ancestors, deceased teachers or leaders, earth spirits, angels, and animal friends (especially cats!) who have served as dream teachers to me personally, and in support of this work. </p><p>Among these, I count Carl Jung, Arnold Mindell, Marion Woodman, Caroline Myss, Penney Peirce. My work stands on the shoulders of other &#8216;listeners&#8217;, including Dorothea MacLean and Eileen Caddy (Findhorn Garden), Machaelle Small Wright (Perelandrea and MAP), Esther Hicks and Neale Donald Walsch. Their works confirm what calls to me through the guides, dreams and illuminated experiences that I have experienced all of my life.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!H7G-!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F7513f594-95c0-4c20-a334-71c79f6f0576_3264x2448.jpeg" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM"><div class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!H7G-!,w_424,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F7513f594-95c0-4c20-a334-71c79f6f0576_3264x2448.jpeg 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!H7G-!,w_848,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F7513f594-95c0-4c20-a334-71c79f6f0576_3264x2448.jpeg 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!H7G-!,w_1272,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F7513f594-95c0-4c20-a334-71c79f6f0576_3264x2448.jpeg 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!H7G-!,w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F7513f594-95c0-4c20-a334-71c79f6f0576_3264x2448.jpeg 1456w" sizes="100vw"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!H7G-!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F7513f594-95c0-4c20-a334-71c79f6f0576_3264x2448.jpeg" width="1456" height="1941" data-attrs="{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/7513f594-95c0-4c20-a334-71c79f6f0576_3264x2448.jpeg&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:null,&quot;imageSize&quot;:null,&quot;height&quot;:1941,&quot;width&quot;:1456,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:null,&quot;bytes&quot;:1693593,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:null,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;href&quot;:null,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:true,&quot;topImage&quot;:false,&quot;internalRedirect&quot;:null,&quot;isProcessing&quot;:false,&quot;align&quot;:null,&quot;offset&quot;:false}" class="sizing-normal" alt="" title="" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!H7G-!,w_424,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F7513f594-95c0-4c20-a334-71c79f6f0576_3264x2448.jpeg 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!H7G-!,w_848,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F7513f594-95c0-4c20-a334-71c79f6f0576_3264x2448.jpeg 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!H7G-!,w_1272,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F7513f594-95c0-4c20-a334-71c79f6f0576_3264x2448.jpeg 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!H7G-!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F7513f594-95c0-4c20-a334-71c79f6f0576_3264x2448.jpeg 1456w" sizes="100vw" loading="lazy"></picture><div class="image-link-expand"><div class="pencraft pc-display-flex pc-gap-8 pc-reset"><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container restack-image"><svg role="img" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 20 20" fill="none" stroke-width="1.5" stroke="var(--color-fg-primary)" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><g><title></title><path d="M2.53001 7.81595C3.49179 4.73911 6.43281 2.5 9.91173 2.5C13.1684 2.5 15.9537 4.46214 17.0852 7.23684L17.6179 8.67647M17.6179 8.67647L18.5002 4.26471M17.6179 8.67647L13.6473 6.91176M17.4995 12.1841C16.5378 15.2609 13.5967 17.5 10.1178 17.5C6.86118 17.5 4.07589 15.5379 2.94432 12.7632L2.41165 11.3235M2.41165 11.3235L1.5293 15.7353M2.41165 11.3235L6.38224 13.0882"></path></g></svg></button><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container view-image"><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 24 24" fill="none" stroke="currentColor" stroke-width="2" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" class="lucide lucide-maximize2 lucide-maximize-2"><polyline points="15 3 21 3 21 9"></polyline><polyline points="9 21 3 21 3 15"></polyline><line x1="21" x2="14" y1="3" y2="10"></line><line x1="3" x2="10" y1="21" y2="14"></line></svg></button></div></div></div></a></figure></div><p><em>We all have teachers, friends, mentors.

was becoming. We couldn&#8217;t bring our currency, we couldn&#8217;t bring the &#8216;change&#8217; in our pockets from where we are to where we were going. But how would we purchase things? Our money didn&#8217;t work there. The guides are laughing. Good joke, they say. They like wordplay - and this metaphor of translating money (change) from the present into money (power) in the future.</p><p>The guides say:</p><blockquote><p><em>Good joke. Ah, yes - but we would slow you down in interpreting this dream. For we have much to say. Sit with your tea and prepare to receive our message. And here is Mooky, your cat, to help you. </em></p></blockquote><p>Mooky settles on my lap. I close my eyes and quiet my breath, trying to come into the calm, receptive state where I can sense and hear the guides. But strange things are happening around me. I am smelling cigarette smoke, which is strange. Neither my husband nor I smoke. I go to the window to check and no one has walked past with a cigarette. I look up &#8216;smelling cigarette smoke&#8217; and learn that this is one of the symptoms of a brain tumor. Dear God! </p><p>Every day since <a href="https://theguidebook.substack.com/p/book-one-we-are-here-with-you">Book One of The Flow Transmissions</a> came to an end, I have found a single black feather. I receive this as a gift - a message of closure and presence. Also, the light in the kitchen keeps blinking on and off. All of this is unsettling and I keep trying to map it into some kind of message. Some meaning.  I make lists: 12 layers, 12 patterns, 12 astrological houses. How does it all fit together? Where do I fit into that order? What does it mean?  The guides say:</p><blockquote><p><em>How does it serve you to know this? How does it serve you to discern and to memorize the layers of of the world? It does not. Unless all of this is taken together as one pattern, one fabric, one word, one flow endlessly making and filling the cups of creation even as it melts them. Even as the cups are filling they are being emptied for that is the way and so we would invite you not to cling to any of this. No memorization is required, only the following of the call of your own nature as it moves you. That will be enough - more than enough - for your nature is wise, made of and moved by consciousness, which contains all there is to know. </em></p><p><em>Any teaching of specifics - 12 patterns, no patterns - is offered </em>[by us] <em>with reservation for you have been trained to grab at facts, and to believe that you must know everything in order to please the parent, the teacher, the boss, the board members. You believe that you must know, know, know - yet this is the mind talking with the mind, strategizing, &#8216;If I know enough I can get what I need.&#8217; This isn&#8217;t about <strong>knowing</strong> - it&#8217;s about power. It&#8217;s the childish illusion that, &#8216;If I know enough, by demonstration of my knowing, I can conquer the world.&#8217; </em></p><p><em>In this you are like schoolchildren before a stern teacher. You carry this projection into your offices and boardrooms and, into your relationship with us. And yet, this is not the way of your nature nor of ours. We are not the stern teacher and you are not the schoolchild. Rather, the way of your nature is wholeness and the way of our nature is welcome. Trust that our transmission will always flow through the lens of blessing: the lens of, &#8216;<strong>We are here with you where, when and who you are.&#8217;</strong> All of this is blessed, just as it is. That includes the questions you are holding as your point of attention. </em></p><p><em>So, come now, into receptive listening.&#8221;) <br>The message continues in the <a href="https://amyoscar.substack.com/p/we-invite-you-to-claim-this-gift">next post.</a></em></p><div><hr></div><p><strong>Reflection:</strong><br>In this first part of the Transmission, the Guides remind us of the paradox of transformation: to step into the new, we must let go of the old. The dream of crossing into the future without being able to bring our &#8220;change&#8221; reflects the idea that certain constructs, such as material wealth or the need to control, cannot translate into the deeper dimensions of being.</p><p>This section also speaks to the grounding presence of signs&#8212;black feathers, flickering lights, even unsettling sensations like the smell of cigarette smoke. These signs point to an invitation to pause, to listen, and to let go of the mental need to map and analyze everything.</p><p><strong>Invitation:</strong></p><ul><li><p>Take a moment to reflect on what you might be clinging to that no longer serves your journey forward. What would it feel like to leave it behind?</p></li><li><p>Look for signs in your own life. What subtle messages might be guiding you right now?</p></li></ul></blockquote><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank"

The time when the huge megalithic forms are breaking down and new wider, smoother channels are opening. Pathways, chutes, slides through which the flow can flow ever more smoothly. It will be easier for you to live. It will make more sense. It will be better, we promise. </em></p><p><em>It's the time of personal pod building; the end of the mega-celebrity. Your groups will be smaller and more intimate, allowing you more direct contact with the people you influence. As your pods gather to work with you, they will pulse influence to their own groups. For each of you is an energy fractal, each influences a circle. </em></p><p><em>This &#8216;influence&#8217; is as simple as breathing. You influence each other all the time. Breath, heartbeat, entrainment. You seek (reach) and find (connect); you test and inquire, eventually, you let the new idea or story or capacity settle in. the old story lets go. Your energy attracts others (like attracts like)and you form clusters. </em></p><p><em>And this is how all things form - through clustering, the rhythmic alignment to the one song (the highest frequency) which connects all. </em></p><p><em>Each circle shares energy for a time, each cell supports the tissue, each sphere supports the honeycomb, until, inevitably, expansion eases open these bonds and the pattern breaks apart, and the particles are swept off into the flow to reconvene in another cluster, another time, in another corner of the world.

authors </p><p>- art and information flow into the creative commons, more and more people have access to the tools they need to build the world their way, the world shifts. </p><p>- uprisings around the world toppling regimes; governments falling apart, people shifting and reorganizing the ways in which we govern ourselves. </p><blockquote><p><em>Things come together.

awaken from your dream of separation. This scar tissue arose from a misunderstanding - which created a break in the flow of what is real and true, the steady, unending flow of love. This break created the illusion that you are separate from that flow, separate from love. </em></p><p><em>Over time, as you bump up against this belief, scar tissue forms and begins to build a barrier, like a callous. If this belief/scar is particularly strong in you, it will animate/show itself whenever you attempt to activate more flow. You may experience a kind of 'wall' that feels like it's holding you back from joy, from growth, from access to your own power. </em></p><p><em>This wall - and the belief out of which it forms - is not real. It is experienced by all creation (the flow) as a foreign body because it is fear-based - and the flow is only love. When anyone, anywhere experiences such a break in the flow of love, a call for healing echoes through the flow. Right now, so many are calling for a release from this scar and the response from the flow, which is always <strong>healing and making whole</strong>, is increasingly powerful. </em></p><p><em>At the beginning of this phase of re-connection, we sent you ALL this image: the one person standing and rising from a chair. (Amy&#8217;s book, Sea of Miracles and later, The Soul Caller Training, were 'unpacked' from this one image.) Every human being on Earth received that image. And that is why there is so much 'rising' going on across the planet. </em></p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank"

This is one of them - in fact, the next few posts will be out of order. The Flow comes through in it&#8217;s own order but I am not always ready with notebook in hand to capture it. There are times when I sit down with my pen and paper and whoosh, in it flows. Neat. Organized. Other times, I&#8217;m out in the world, driving or lying on a yoga mat or walking in the woods, and whoosh. I grab whatever paper or recording device is at hand and get down what I can. I trust that you&#8217;ll move through the jumble with me. :) Once the book is assembled, the puzzle pieces will be set in order and you&#8217;ll see how it all fits together.

These things, and all of the living world, including life itself, are gifts of the Creator, freely given and all for you. Yet every day you re-create it all. By your response to it, by your experience and recognition of the world around you, you re-make the world.</em></p><p><em>And THIS conversation - here and now - is the conversation that expands the world. For we are here with you and you are here with us and together we are engaging and enjoying the elaboration of new things. We are opening our box of words and names together and looking inside. So, when we said earlier that this is a process which will help you, Amy, to write your own books, this is what we meant. For you will learn and be en-trained by what we do here. Trust your own curiosity knowing that it will always lead to joy.</em></p><p><em>When you follow joy, there is less doubt</em></p><p><em>Amy is stopping the flow to ask a question. She has noticed from the start of this project that when we are here with her she has no doubt in herself or in what is being said. She feels certain of our message, makes very few distortions and virtually no crossing out of words or loop overs in thought. And she is curious about this and asking us to elaborate.</em></p><p><em>And we say to her: This is a joy-led conversation and it is training you to trust your connection to joy and to allow the energy to move without interruption. To trust your ability to listen for and receive joy and to ask of us all that you want to know. And to receive and to witness how your joy invites our joy to flow in this form. </em></p><p><em>We adore you and engage with you fully as this is the natural flow of love, expressing, now and here as joy, in writing. Joy is asking and answering. Joy is practicing the joy of being connected and holding connection to joy. Joy is here and you are here with joy and this is holy holy and all is well. </em></p><p><em>And this is the expression of enthusiasm, of being filled with the joy of God/of the Divine, for the Divine is joy, is radiance, is holy. And in our presence you know yourself as joy and worthy of joy and worthy of summoning our presence as joy. </em></p><p><em>And this is the teaching and the answer to so many of Amy&#8217;s questions, for she is always curious about communication and the creative process &#8211; and how thought crosses over into form, and how the world was and is made and being made.</em></p><p><em>It was easy and natural for the child (your husband) who would one day become an artist, architect, inventor and author to follow his joy by drawing the intricate cities which flowed through his imagination and to stage, inside of his drawings, imaginary battles and other engagements. And these childhood pursuits strengthened his interest and focused his attention on the things that he was naturally interested in. Through play, he learned skills that he will be using today even as he designs real buildings. It was then, and it is today, the same process: translating that which he sees in his imagination onto paper and working with others to translate what is on paper into 3-D. The drawings sent by the architect to the contractor/builder are made into real buildings. (A humorous thought occurs to us here that, in this scenario, the contractor/builder IS like a 3-D printer!)</em></p><p><em>This is what we mean when we say that when you follow your joy you will never get it wrong. Following joy means that you release concerns about 'What will I become?&#8217; What does this mean?' and 'I must make plans' and instead, trust that there IS a plan and that it will lead you well. It will lead you as it has always led you. It will lead you well because it knows you &#8211; and because joy always follows joy. And by your interest and enthusiasm you will naturally attract same.</em></p><p><em>Now we have said earlier that <strong>angels are the loving thoughts of God</strong> and we invite you now to move into your day with this truth. Follow it with your curiosity. See where it leads.</em></p><p><em>And then, we invite you to return. Engage with us again, here in this connection of Love with Love, the birthplace, the emergence point of joy.</em></p><p>Received this day of  3-19 -2016 </p></blockquote><div><hr></div><div

I used to be baffled and even, a little embarrassed by this image of me arms upheld, surrounded by light. Looking at the painting today, I feel <em>seen.</em> I see a child who experienced the world as a blessing. I see joy. I see appreciation and gratitude. I see a ten-year-old girl offering and receiving blessing from a world of love.  </p><div class="pullquote"><blockquote><p><em>You are not fallen. You are held in our protective embrace, which is another name for Grace. </em></p></blockquote></div><p>I wake up mid message: </p><blockquote><p><em>If you are dreaming it now it is here with you now. The &#8216;future&#8217; is not real. It is a label you use to rename things. The mind is a lighthouse, turning toward resonance with what you are. Wherever you look, you will see what you are.</em></p></blockquote><p>With these words, there is an image: A circle with a point at center, and two smaller circles inside. One circle contains a heart.  The other, a dollar sign. </p><blockquote><p><em>What you focus on is the center out of which you will live. Love or money. You choose this with your attention.  Where are you looking: at love or at money? This is what you are and what you will be.</em></p><p><em>The emergence of this dream into your now is the invitation to make your choice. Love or money? Turn toward that now. The choice is up to you. Neither is good. Neither is bad. Only choose. And draw that image to you through the veils of the world of forms. </em></p><p><em>And this will be our message today. For the future is an illusion, a projection that you create/generate and place outside the field of now, when an emergence occurs that you feel incapable of integrating.  </em></p><p><em>Regret of past events is same. There is no past and all that happened before led to this moment. Move your attention here, for all emergence happens now, in present time. </em></p><p><em>Allow the gradual release of disbelief, uncertainty and unwillingness. Allow emergence to occur. Allow something to emerge from nothing. Allow all that you envision to take form in present time, literally out of the blue.</em></p></blockquote><p>There is a ringing sound. It calls me to raise my vibration, to reconnect with &#8216;the field of the message&#8217;.  I find myself distracted about this name. Wondering: Is &#8216;the field&#8217; an accurate name for this bearer of this message? Is it a place or is it a being? An angel? Several angels speaking as one? For some reason this question seems important today. The Flow stops as I ponder it. Suddenly, I&#8217;m reminded of Alice O. Howell&#8217;s book, <em>The Web in the Sea,</em> wherein I first learned of &#8220;Sophia&#8217;s Game,&#8221; a playful, relational &#8216;game&#8217; in which Sophia (who is not a goddess but the presence of wisdom in everything) invites us to find Her. Winks, signs, inklings, dreams. These are Sophia&#8217;s calling cards. She whispers us awake. Then, she calls us out into the world where, when we engage with her game, we find Her hidden in plain sight, everywhere, infused into all creation.  </p><blockquote><p><em>Yes.</em> <em>This is that self-same messenger, the &#8216;one&#8217; who guides you in session with a client, the one who delivers dreams that transform your understanding; the one who guides and draws your attention to signs. The one who is everywhere and always ready to engage with you.</em> <em>You need only to rise - no, you need only to expand, to open more spaciousness between things. To flow faster, lighter, higher frequency energy, which is, in its qualities, more spacious and less dense. More is possible inside of this field, and flow can move and be moved more quickly and directly and the world is less fixed and more mutable, and easier to work with. </em></p><p><em>Which is to say that <strong>matter</strong> is less fixed and is, therefore, more flexible, more... negotiable. Inside of this field, you have more say in how things go and where they end up. Your gaze is less controlled by <strong>the wiring in the house of the collective psyche and more liberated to its own &#8216;house&#8217;.</strong> </em></p></blockquote><p>In working with clients, I have observed that some people dream while asleep and others, especially those who tell me, &#8220;I don&#8217;t dream,&#8221;  have big, symbolically meaningful experiences with their eyes open.  And now the message field is telling me:</p><blockquote><p><em>All beings dream, for dreaming is necessary. Dreaming is the activity of consciousness, the realm of mind activity where all beings dwell. All beings are dreamers - including the rabbit, the sheep, the fox, the bear, all beasts - and all beings share the dream of the created world. </em></p><p><em>It is only the human who has crossed over, exited the dream that all beings share - and so, as the human moves through these early stages of awakening, he/she is often very lonely. For they are still in the illusion/dream of separation from the one wholeness.</em></p><p><em>All of your mythologies reflect this.  </em></p><p><em>In your dream of banishment from paradise (Judeo-Christian), in your dream of dismemberment (Egyptian), in your modern dreams (movies, stories) of abduction by alien beings and, in the more common dream that you are being controlled by outside forces, such as government, corporations, media. </em></p><p><em>These are the illusions  you collude in (and strengthen) when you transfer your attention and your will into the hands of another. </em></p><p><em>Wake up now to the truth: You are free and this world - the whole world is of your own making. And Amy is re-minding us that, for some readers, this may not be a comforting realization. We understand that pure freedom after a time of captivity may be dreamed by you as &#8216;a fall&#8217; from the protective field of grace. </em></p><p><em>Yet you are not fallen. You are held in our protective embrace, which is another name for Grace.</em></p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank"

over several grooves on the disk; or as a digital tape seems to blank out sections and pick up again.

You need no words nor additional information to enter. For you have always had this understanding, this knowledge.

For this is the way of all beings.</em></p><p><em>Messengers like Amy are pathfinders, pioneers who lead the way, who translate the signal so all may enter the kingdom, the queendom, the field of love and blessing. </em></p><p><em>All of your messengers are echoing this song. Ringing this bell. All of your messengers through time immemorial have echoed, sung and rung this vibration - in a chorus of endless music: the whole world is singing. They are the instruments and you are re-membering the song. For you were born singing it, born knowing it. You have always had this knowledge and this book is but a re-minder to welcome you home.</em></p><p><em>All of life is dreaming. All of life is singing. We are one. We are one. One chorus, with many voices, each singing its part. One book, with many pages, layers of story, each adding its chapter. One song, with many voices, all sung at once. One hive, buzzing with activity, with awareness of the dream which all share.

You are breathing in this light of consciousness. As you breathe, this light infuses your entire body, saturating your physical form. Cell by cell, you are reborn. Breathe now and feel the light of the new world lighten you and lift you. Feel yourself lighten, becoming buoyant - it&#8217;s easier to be you. Feel the lifting of the burdens you&#8217;ve been carrying. Feel them fall away as your rise, supported and unburdened, breathing in the light of the new world. </em></p><p><em><strong>The second new ability is willingness.</strong> You are less fearful and more willing to risk trying new things, to risk doing new things. In a way, this second shift is a return to the trusting openness of childhood; the innocent acceptance of what is before you. You receive this gift, tempered with the adult&#8217;s awareness and experience. This second gift includes an expansion of your ability to bless what is before you. To say, &#8220;This is good.&#8221; The ability to bless will lead naturally and easily to the third gift. </em></p><p><em><strong>The third ability is forgiveness of the past.</strong> For as you accept what is here without blame or shame, you begin to accept what WAS here in that same spirit. To accept what WAS, without telling the story that this should have been different than it was. This was an old story which bound things in stasis - in holding patterns, as &#8216;wounds&#8217; and &#8216;scar tissue&#8217; - as problems to be solved, as open questions which call the mind&#8217;s resources back through time, again and again. Now, with acceptance and blessing, you are free; and as you free yourself from these patterns of binding, you bless them back into wholeness.</em></p><p><em>Now, the past is free to flow away from you and to be re-leased and to re-emerge, re-newed and re-cycled into freshness, into liberated energy which can be made available for new emergence, new experience.</em></p><div

deleted - the virtual space they once occupied is liberated/freed up for other uses. As when the memory of your smartphone is cleared, your stash of unnecessary photos erased, the whole system runs more efficiently. </em></p><p><em>After you delete files, the &#8216;pointers&#8217; to those files are removed and the &#8216;partitions&#8217; the system has been using to separate the disk into &#8216;fragments&#8217; of storage are lifted, are taken down, as if walls between parcels of land are removed and people and animals can roam freely across those borders once more. </em></p><p><em>As old files are wiped away, the system is cleared. So it is with memories in the mind and threads of thought and distortion in the mind field (aka threads of samskara). For the field of mind operates in many ways like the data storage and retrieval systems, which your Silicon Valley geniuses have made. </em></p><p><em>We have spoken before of the way that  memories of past trauma are stored as unresolved questions/as wounds. We have said that they are stored inside of &#8216;bound packets&#8217; of energy, which you name as &#8216;wound&#8217; or &#8216;bad&#8217;. This is what we are once again re-minding you for it is good to re-turn to re-view what we have covered/discussed thus far, before we move on to our next conversation. And this IS a conversation you know, for we are called here by your questions. </em></p><p><em>The new and the old.</em></p><p><em>As you approach this shift from one way of being human to another, your questions become more focused, and, in a way, louder. A stronger signal, they are easier for us to pick up and respond to. That is why there is more direct access to us and to our teachings now, from many portals. For many teachers are awakening to their ability to receive our message of love and peace. It is not because we are closer. It is because YOU are re-opening to our presence. Likewise, your heightened awareness at this edge of change increases your ability to pickup our response. </em></p><p><em>As Amy typed that last line, a small bird - black and white patterned wings, slash of red at the sides of its head - flew up to her window, latched onto the screen with its claws. It sat, clinging to the screen, for about 30 seconds. Then, it flew to a nearby shrub where it was joined by two others with similar markings - both with blue slashes on the sides of the head. The three small birds are still there, flitting about the budding lilac tree. </em></p><p><em>And so, here we are in conversation and all is well. And that is our primary message with this book; we are here with you and all is well. Things are moving as they must and as they will and all of this is blessed. </em></p><p><em>The changes you are experiencing now in your turbulent times are no more and no less than the revolution which is evolution. No more and no less than at any other pinnacle of change. We chose that world &#8216;pinnacle&#8217; deliberately, and we send with it an image of a human man and woman ascending to the top of a mountain. The climb has been arduous and they are most weary and thirsty for water, hungry for sustenance but mostly , they long for sleep.</em></p><p><em>And so we say to them, it&#8217;s okay to rest and to fest. (To you, dear reader, we say the same - for you, too, have been climbing a while - long enough now.) </em></p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2

the empty; the disembodied with the body; the spirit with the soul; the spirit-soul with the earth.</em>  </p></div><blockquote><p><em>And we are here. We are always here. And that is our message today: that we are always here. For though you have been away, even so, we are here and you have felt us here. And Amy is discovering a pattern inside of herself of not wanting to disappoint anyone - and she has included us in this pattern of shyness and shame; of withholding herself from intimacy so that she does not disappoint us.</em></p><p><em>We like this word &#8216;dis-appoint&#8217; - we like it a lot. It gives us much to work with. For what does it mean to dis-appoint oneself? To remove oneself from appointment. And how might you do such a thing? For that matter, what does it meant to &#8216;appoint&#8217; one's self? To appoint, it seems to us, means: to generate a focal point at the center of the self and to point there; to place one&#8217;s self at the center of things; the center of causality, the center of the world. </em></p><p><em>We like this word very much for our purposes today - for our message today is: We are always here. We are always self-appointed to be pointedly here. No one else has sent us here; we appointed ourselves to be here. We made an appointment and we kept it: an appointment to show up, always, here.</em></p><p><em>And do you see the beautiful humorous truth? Do you see it? We hope so, for we are much amused. The magnificent glorious truth that is, as usual, embedded into your very language, and as such, demonstrating your awareness of our message of inclusion - that all are included in the field of blessing, the field of love and peace.</em></p><p><em>For when you say that you dis-appoint yourself, you are saying that: I, Amy, have chosen to remove myself from my appointment to be here. To remove myself from the center of the world. And it is a choice, and we will show you how it works.</em></p><p><em>You say: I, Amy, have chosen to dis-appoint myself from the blessing of my own attendance to my own needs, to my own story, my own appointment to be present - in this moment. Right here. Right now. Meeting this message, wherever I may be. I, Amy, have chosen to place my attention on another. To place my attention on you, Husband; you, Mother; you, Father; on you, Child of mine. I have chosen to place my attention on you, Client; you, Student; you, Presidential Candidate; you, Doctor; you, Expert to whom I yield the authority of my own appointment. </em></p><p><em>You, whom I have appointed to the center of my world by the yielding of my attention to you - by my identification of myself as being FOR YOU but not FOR ME. By this, I Amy, have chosen to dis-appoint myself from the seat of my own center, my own story, my own life!</em></p><p><em>Now can you see why we love this word?!  Now can you see how you are living in a sea of thought-language which demonstrates that you already know who you are?</em></p><p><em>You are the Chooser. You are the Namer of yourself and all things. You are the Maker of this language. You are the one who appoints and dis-appoints you. You are the one: the only one who can remove the cloak of this disappointment from your own shoulders and replace it with the glorious robe of your own magnificent APPOINTMENT!</em></p><p><em>Your appointment with yourself</em></p><p></p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank"

Now it is time for you to arrive and appoint yourself to the task at hand: the task of being here for yourself. And, oh, how we know this is a challenge for we can feel, even now, your energy pulling back from this appointment that we suggest. For you are trained - and well-practiced - at dis-appointing yourself by placing everyone and everything you see in the world before you, BEFORE YOU. </em></p><p><em>And so we will say that there is a time and a place for courtesy - for putting the needs of another ahead of your own - and there is a good and proper custom (and truth) in kindness. And we encourage you, always, to choose the path that is kind to others as you choose the path toward your own appointment with joy. </em></p><p><em>Yet the path to your joy is ALWAYS the kindest path FOR ALL - and this includes kindness toward yourself. This includes your joy. </em></p><p><em>Now we have said that the path to joy will always lead to joy. And this is true. Yet, the path to your joy is not through the joy of another. For you can not know or control the joy (or the path) of another by your own action. You can not know the joy of another. You can not make them joyful. Nor can you control their experience of the choices which you make. And your attempts to manage your world based on how you will be perceived and received by another are steps on the path of dis-appointment - and so they will always lead to more of the same: disappointment.</em></p><p><em>For when you appoint the joy of another to be the center of your attention and action, you dis-appoint yourself. It cannot be otherwise. There cannot be two centers to one circle. Your eyes (and your mind) cannot land on two focal points at the same time. <strong>Yet when you appoint yourself to the center of your joy, you automatically dis-appoint another from that center, and this has immediate effects and consequences.</strong></em></p><p><em>First, sovereignty returns. You return it to yourself. When you re-appoint yourself to center, you return yourself to freedom. Next, you release the other from occupying the center of your life (a place they can never fill) and, in doing so, you reveal the truth: they have their own center to fill. Now they, too, are free to pursue their appointment with joy.</em></p><p><em>There is a deeper and longer-term effect of this appointment and dis-appointment. The longer-term effect: the marriage of the Watcher and the Doer </em></p><p><em>Did you think we had forgotten them - the lonely Watcher, floating in his balloon above the world; the abandoned Doer, toiling away at her empty task? </em>[Note: The guides mention the watcher and the doer in <a href="https://amyoscar.substack.com/p/flow-52-radiance-and-reunion">this post</a> and in <a href="https://amyoscar.substack.com/p/q-and-a-who-decided-on-having-a-watcher">this Q and A</a>.] </p><p><em>We will never forget them for we are here to bring the Watcher home. We are here to fill the emptiness of the Doer. We are here to reunite that which was never meant to be apart: the separated with the abandoned, the lonely with the empty; the disembodied with the body; the spirit with the soul; the spirit-soul with the earth.</em></p><p><em>That is our purpose here today and always: to bring the Watcher inside and to comfort and support his homecoming; to ease his terror and alienation as we re-place him where he be-longs (longs to be) - his true home; the seat beside the Doer at the center of the one radiant heart.</em></p><p><em>We are here to bring two into one; the instinct and the intellect; the mind and the body. We invite them to touch hands now and,  once touch has been established, we are here to hold the space and the time for their reunion. We hold this container of space/time with you, together. We hold it, first in the imaginal realm, where time and space can meet and move together. (And yes, as you are asking, Amy, the Watcher is the mind (the one in Time) and the Doer is the body (the one in Space). And their separation was necessary (for Love to experience itself). </em></p><p><em>And we are here to re-establish their union, as the one becomes re-acquainted with the other. And then, and soon, to re-establish their union in real time and real space here on Earth. For like all creations, this crossing over from separation to reunion will begin in the imaginal and will be replicated soon in the manifest (material world) by your attention to it.</em></p><p><em>This crossing over will bring lofty concept to grounded reality. This crossing over will begin (has already begun) inside your own heart - the one place where what is above can merge with what is below: the one realm which dwells at the veil as both imaginal and physical space. The center of your world. Your own heart. </em></p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank"

The cup where all creation begins.</em></p><p><em>You don&#8217;t have to understand this. In fact, you can&#8217;t understand it. And that attempt to understand, to make logic of what is outside of the mind&#8217;s logic, is the Watcher, reaching for something he cannot have. You cannot understand this alchemical equation by looking at it from outside. It must be experienced.</em></p><p><em>The Watcher, endlessly vigilant, endlessly examining and trying so hard, with such integrity and effort, to know what to do. The Watcher, believing that the only way he can know peace is by keeping everything under control, floats above, so alone, so frightened. Knowing that he cannot DO anything on his own. Knowing he can only direct the Doer - and attempt to keep her from spinning out of control. Waiting only for the Doer to behave, to yield herself - and all of her bounty and beauty to him. Endlessly watching, endlessly vigilant lest she DO the wrong thing. Yet it is he who is in error, he who has chosen against himself - for he has yielded his true nature (which is Love) to fear.</em></p><p><em>For her part, the Doer, trying so hard, working herself to the bone, starving herself in pursuit of perfection, staying up too late in pursuit of performance, if only the Watcher will approve of her, will stop criticizing her every effort. </em></p><p><em>And so the weary Doer, dis- appoints herself day after day as she yields herself to the Watcher... And so, the terrified Watcher, dis-appoints himself endlessly, as he yields to fear.</em></p><p><em>Yet we would invite you now into celebration of what is about to occur - for we are about to unite the Watcher with the Doer. The long-lost lovers are entering the safe and sacred chamber of the heart - your heart, Amy. Your heart, dear Reader. For the Watcher and the Doer are coming together in you - FOR you.</em></p><p><em>They are meeting now and joining hands and looking one at the other, looking into eyes filled with such love. And the angels are dancing all around them (for angels love weddings and dance at every one!). For even though neither the Watcher nor the Doer understood how they would find their way, and though neither believed they knew the way, they are here - they found one another here. Now. At the center of the world, for that was always their destiny. </em></p><p><em>How do we know this with such certainty? It is the nature of all things to move toward joy and at the end of every joy-path lies reunion: Watcher and Doer, moving as one. Mind and Body, integrated and aligned. Sacred thought married to Sacred Flesh, for as they join hands and turn to face the world that they have made, the illusion is gone - the veils have fallen - He was meant to know her, she was meant to know him; each by his own, her own nature. For their union is the path to joy.</em></p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank"

As I write this, the bird outside my window cheeps. It sounds like: <em>Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay.</em> </p><p>I laugh. I get up.  Okay. I will make the tea and return to take the message down and perhaps I will sit outside. <em>Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay.</em> </p><p>I settle on the swing by the back door. The air is alive. The blue sky soars above me. I close my eyes. Deep breath. Exhale. Okay.</p><p>(When the guides arrive, there&#8217;s a palpable shift in the air around me, a thickening, more density. Things vibrate faster, with more intensity and feel &#8230; closer. As you read the guides&#8217; message, notice what you feel. Notice your way, your own way, of detecting guidance. There may be sensation in your body - bees buzzing nearby or inside of you.  There may be a sound - a cosmic orchestra tuning up. You may feel a shift in temperature - around you, inside of you.  You may not feel anything but, rather, sense things,  see things, know things. We all receive and read guidance differently.

the way in - the way of call and response, the way of showing up, willing and really, of listening and willing to hear - for one never knows what message will arrive and so this willingness is key. </em></p><p><em>We have said that you choose the projects you will work on by your attention to them and this is true. It is also true that you will choose the conversations you will have by your attention. For if you wish to converse about biology, you may simply begin and if you wish to converse about the care and feeding of dogs or plants or people or babies, you need only begin and we are there, as we are here now, ready and willing to converse, to play, to engage any and all interests, concerns or questions that you have.</em></p><p><em>Indeed, we can ONLY answer those questions you pose, only converse with you on the subjects/matters that you choose, for we do not impose our will upon you. You are the chooser and the maker and we support you in all of your creative endeavors.</em></p><p><em>Amy is curious about this and she asks: Are there projects that you would not support? Projects you would deem as wrong or harmful or toxic to the one or the many, endeavors you would steer us away from? War, for example, or pollution or destruction of planetary resources? Are there things we would do that you prevent?</em></p><p><em>This is a wonderful question and bears fleshing out, for there is much here to see and to show/explain. And we are showing Amy a series of images to support our words.</em></p><p><em>We are showing her, through thought impression and imagery that, while we do not stop any project you would begin, YOU will stop that which is harmful to your survival. For you are made in this way - and this way is built in to your nature.</em></p><p><em>We have said before that you have free will and that you may choose any course and any project you will. You may pursue it as long as you will. Yet, we have demonstrated, also, that you will only enjoy the endeavors that support your well-being. Projects which take you out of alignment with your own nature will not feel right - and by your resistance to them, you will create symptoms of distress in the body-mind. These symptoms will guide you back to center, back to wholeness, back through the layers of healing to well-being.</em></p><p><em>There is no project that we will not bless. Yet it is the nature of the world in which you live to stop projects that do not support life. You may not destroy the planet, for the planet herself will stop you. You may not impose your will upon another for all are ultimately, free.</em></p><p><em>There is no project that we will stop yet your own nature will steer you away from projects which do harm to yourself, to others or to the planet. Which is to say, choices against yourself will make you stressed (in the mind), sick (in the body) and unhappy (in the emotions). </em></p><p><em>Our message is intended to support you in achieving clarity in the listening for the voice of your own nature and perceiving the signs and symptoms which tell you you have strayed out of alignment with your own nature - your own thread of wellness and wholeness.</em></p><p><em>The wind is blowing very strongly as Amy writes these words and she looks up, concerned that &#8216;we&#8217; are blowing things up to get her attention. While wind and other weather events are never personal, it is true, yes, that we may stir things up to make a point. And so we did, and so we are - as she is not writing the words that we are saying but has, rather, gone into her own mind, her own thoughts in attempt to make lofty proclamations on what she deems&#8217; big issues&#8217; - big spiritual teachings which make her/cause her to worry about being held to explain things she does not fully understand. Big winds, which lift the cushions from the lawn chair.</em></p><p><em>So let&#8217;s talk about wind as a metaphor for these things that we would explain.</em></p><p><em>Amy looks up, bracing inside of wind that is bending trees. It&#8217;s a warm beautiful and powerful wind, and as it blows through, moving everything around her, she looks up and finds a small white butterfly there, playfully riding a gale - allowing itself to be lifted and lowered. The butterfly is not resisting the wind. It lightly dances with what is here. </em></p><p></p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank"

During pauses, the wind seems to breathe, pausing and blowing, it seems to swirl and circle, and the branches of the trees sway and circle with it.</em></p><p><em>By quieting her thoughts and shifting into observation of what is here, Amy begins to &#8216;hear&#8217; our message of non-resistance, of noticing, of &#8216;being with&#8217; what is here. And this is our message: Be the butterfly, playfully riding the wind. Dance with what is here - lightly and easily. For all is well and all of this, even the wind, is for you. </em></p><p><em>Now the birds are quiet. There is only wind. Now, during the pauses between blows, the birds call again. There is only wind and the ringing of our message in Amy&#8217;s ears. As the wind clears the air, so we are clearing out her thoughts. </em></p><p><em>Amy is looking up at the bright blue sky, where clouds move across. She is remembering how it was to fly above the clouds. As she thinks of this, a plane appears and flies over. A bird leaps from the treetops, spiraling straight upward and plunges back down. It is, all of it, every moment, responsive and playful - a living conversation. </em></p><p><em><strong>Even this wind, is &#8216;for her&#8217; - it is all for her. And it is all for you. Even as it is also, all for itself. As you are for yourself while you are, also, all for this. As we are for ourselves, while also, all for you.</strong></em></p><p><em>The wind quiets now and so it will for it has served its purpose and our own. In the distance, a horse whinnies; a last gale whirls up. Amy looks up and sees, this time, the bright green vines which have climbed the darker green of the pine trees, winding around their trunks, heavy at the crown. In one way, the colors are beautiful, as the leaves of the vines flicker in the sunlight. These vines may be the wisteria which Amy herself planted 15 years ago and she fears - with a stab of guilt and powerlessness - that the vines will become so heavy and entangled around the trees that they will bring them down. And while she has said, for years, &#8220;Oh well, what will be will be,&#8221; she feels called, today, to do something about this.</em></p><p><em>And this calling enlivens her from powerlessness and guilt to thoughts of actions she might take. She might telephone a gardener, she might cut the vines herself - snipping them at the base and letting them die off and later, she might pull them away from the trees.</em></p><p><em>For these vines, she now sees are like the toxic thoughts that seem small - what harm could this little vine do to this big tree? I will plant it here and I will tend it later. I will keep it under control. But of course, it is the nature of a vine to spread and take over - to climb other things. For like all things, they have consciousness and purposes of their own which will be served. </em></p><p><em>She cannot control the vines. She cannot control the wind. </em></p><p><em>And we would re-mind Amy that the arrival of wind heralds change. It is a symbol that something new is approaching, swept into the world and into your life. </em></p><p><em>With these words, the door opens and Amy&#8217;s husband comes outside. He sits down across from her. She looks up and sees, floating across the sky, a strange cloud that looks like Hebrew writing.</em></p><p><em>&#8220;Look at that,&#8221; she says. </em></p><p><em>And her husband looks. &#8220;It&#8217;s the name of God,&#8221; he says. &#8220;Adonai.&#8221;</em></p><p>Received on this day of May 16, 2016</p><div><hr></div><p><strong>You can <a

No more and no less than you should have been. The truth is, dear one: You were perfect - then and now. The perfect friend, one of an infinite number of friendships offered to each of them - some accepted, others rejected. Some wider and richer, others more lightly held. All as they were and all just what was needed for the perfect unfolding of the &#8216;project of flowing love into the world&#8217; at that time, through that point of contact, with that person.</em></p></div><blockquote><p><em>And Amy is asking us to return to the discussion of the heart and this &#8216;pulling', which is causing her concern about her body. And so we will point now to what is constellating around this pulling - and as we begin, the pain &#8216;clarifies&#8217; and becomes more clear in the left side of Amy&#8217;s left breast, as if someone had poked there, a finger into a bruise and we will use this as a starting point, for all discussions have a point of constellation and so do all concerns, all questions and all symptoms in the body.)</em></p><p><em>And we would have you know, we would reassure you now that all is well and that this &#8216;heart pain&#8217; is a response to recent and near future events. For you, Amy, have worked in the space between living and dying for some time now. With your father and your mother and now you have lost yet another friend. This time, Merle, the one who would hug you each time she saw you enter the yoga studio and feel how, even our mention of this name opens the ache in your breast and tears come - tears which you have not yet shed.</em></p><p><em>Tears for this friend who hugged you and who looked upon your arrival with joy - just as your father would greet you when you entered his hospital room; and as your mother greets you now when you enter hers. For you rejoice in the arrival of one another and bask in the company of one who loves you in this way, with rejoicing at your arrival. What a gift such friends are!</em></p><p><em>And what sadness/loss pierces the heart at their departure. For who will look upon you now with that gaze of love and who will rejoice at your arrival? Who will gather you, time and again, into a warm hug of friendship, of fellowship?</em></p><p><em>And to Amy it seems that her whole life is constellating around this concern of mothers dying too soon; and sons and daughters and loving husbands left grieving.</em></p><p><em>Two nights ago, she dreamed she was saying goodbye to Matthew - they were ascending separate escalators, hand in hand until a wall emerged between the escalators and they had to let go. And he was on one side of the wall and she was on the other and as she looked upward, anticipating the end of the wall, she saw that the wall went on forever and that one escalator was leading to a a place, marked with a sign marked &#8216;Heaven&#8217; and the other side was marked with a sign that said, &#8216;Earth&#8217; and she woke, with that pain concentrated tightly in her breast. And she wept a little.</em></p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank"

ascending away from him physically but she was surrounding him, even as she ascended, in echoing spheres of love and &#8216;spirituality&#8217;. </em></p><p><em>&#8220;You are my spirituality,&#8221; he told her on the phone. And she smiled. She told him then that she is not afraid of death, only of leaving him and his sister and their father. Only of leaving her work unfinished - but she is not afraid, only hopeful she will have more time with those she loves and with her work, which she so loves doing. &#8220;I want you to know that I&#8217;m not afraid,&#8221; she said. &#8220;So you won&#8217;t have concern about that - if I do die.&#8221;</em></p><p><em>&#8220;Okay,&#8221; he said, and they laughed. And concerns of death fell away as those of being alive returned. The finding of a restaurant where he could eat lunch; the packages she had to bring to the post office.</em></p><p><em>Dreams of death are not predictions</em></p><p><em>These dreams of leaving the ones that you love are not predictions of an immanent death. They are re-minders of the preciousness of the time that you do have together. The loss of Merle - so sudden and surprising - re-minds you of the other friends recently lost. Gail and Isis and Marcia, all lost within one year. Three friend-sisters with whom you shared your way for a time. For even as your paths diverged and even as you did not call them or encounter them, so they rested (and so they rest still) within your heart. And so we would soothe you now, and draw your attention to your heart, to the breast where your love for them has entangled itself in spiderwebs of shame - that you did not visit, did not call; guilt that you should have done more, given more.</em></p><p><em>See how the left side of the breast aches as we amplify your awareness of these tangled thoughts. This &#8216;project&#8217; of worry, this &#8216;project&#8217; of attention to the ways that you did not live up to the &#8216;project&#8217; of perfection.</em></p><p><em>The Project of Perfection</em></p><p><em>So we remind you now that &#8216;the project of perfection&#8217; is not real. Like all of these <a href="https://amyoscar.substack.com/p/5-15-find-a-better-project">projects of the spiderweb, </a>perfection is illusion, a projection of consciousness, which the group mind uses to ensnare itself in obligation, in duty, in a kind of nonsense-silk, spun from the belly of your own belief in lack of freedom.</em></p><p><em>You were the friend that you were. No more and no less than you should have been. The truth is, dear one: You were perfect - then and now. The perfect friend, one of an infinite number of friendships offered to each of them - some accepted, others rejected. Some wider and richer, others more lightly held. All as they were and all just what was needed for the perfect unfolding of the &#8216;project of flowing love into the world&#8217; at that time, through that point of contact, with that person.</em></p><p><em>And so we turn you now to the only friendship that is real, the only friendship that is constant and ever-present: your friendship toward yourself.</em></p><div

Did you imagine we were going to turn your gaze toward the heavens and invite you to engage in friendship with God, the one steady source of love and peace?</em></p><p><em>We did just that!

The one friendship on which all friendships lay their ground.</em></p><p><em>When you love and respond to yourself, when you take yourself in your own arms and hold yourself close, it is we who are holding you.

Always. </em></p><p><em>And we return your attention to your own heart and the location of the pain where, you see, it has softened from the focalized stab of pain to a wide and spreading warmth as your concerns melt away. So it will be with all pain, and all knots of concern. For as they are softened from worry they dissolve - losing focus and losing form. </em></p><p><em>In this case, it is pain is in the body which has constellated, taking form to in-form you of pain in the emotions. In other cases, &#8216;pain&#8217; may manifest in the world. Even when it seems as if your &#8216;whole life&#8217; is constellating around a concern, this can easily soften - and so it shall soften now - as your attention shifts onto other things.</em></p><p><em>As it is in your body, so it is in the body of the world.

How frightening and exhausting this looks. I see how struggling against the spiderweb only makes it cling to their clothing. The person is asking, &#8220;But how can we get out of this web? How might we get rid of it - or dissolve it?&#8221;</p><p>The guides respond:</p><blockquote><p><em>You ask, &#8220;What is the spiritual formula, what is the chant or dance or drumbeat to dissolve this spiderweb? How can we chase it back into the dark night?&#8221;</em></p><p><em>And to this, we say: There is no spiderweb. </em></p><p><em>It is only your attention to the spiderweb that makes it real - and though it only seems real, you spend your days fighting it, studying it, figuring out its ways. And so we invite you now: Turn your attention away from the spiderweb and onto other things. </em></p><p><em>The more that you argue with your thoughts, the more your thoughts will argue back. The more you ask: How does this spiderweb work? the more the illusion that you&#8217;ve named &#8216;spiderweb&#8217; will develop itself. It will engage with you, explain itself to you. It will become your project and you will devote yourself to understanding the spiderweb from every possible angle. </em></p><p><em>And oh, we would invite you now to find a better project. For all of this world invites your attention and whatever you make a study of will engage with you in this way. </em></p><p><em>Name the project that engages joy. Why not? You are the Namer. You are the Maker. You are the Project-Chooser.</em></p><p><em>By this we mean to say that you, dear one, are the one who &#8216;projects&#8217; that which you are&#8212;that which you live from. You project your attention onto it and it becomes your project. </em></p><p><em>From inspiration to idea, from idea to concept, from concept to study, to endeavor, to career. Your attention to anything makes it real to you and whatever you will study will be your way. It will develop substance and by your attention to it, it will shape your life.</em></p><p><em>And so, while you may choose to be a student of spiderwebs and then a teacher of spiderwebs and how they are woven and of what they are made,  you don&#8217;t have to be. You are free to choose your pursuit; free to choose your way of study; and to flow your attention along that way and in so doing to become that student, that teacher, that expert. To make of that project, a life.</em></p><p><em>You are the project. Everything you&#8217;ve done, been, said has led you here. It&#8217;s all one project. It&#8217;s all for you. When you see the principle on which the world of love is laid - and made - there is no mystery. You are the gift and the one who delivers the gift and the one who receives it. There is only the gift.</em></p><p><em>There is only one project. There is only the gift.</em></p><p><em>We are showing Amy the image of two houses. Imagine that each house is a project. Imagine that as you involve yourself with a project you are choosing to enter its house. </em></p><p><em>One house is full of spiderwebs. Inside of that house are those who are interested in paying attention to spiderwebs. </em></p><p><em>In the other house, who knows? Who knows what is in any house unless one is willing to enter it and look around, willing to pull open its drawers and become curious about their contents? </em></p><div

There are also new people in each new house with new possibilities and new projects to constellate. All of which emerge from new combinations of personality and temperament.

A me who is not afraid. </p><p>I find her when I am passing a mirror and I catch my own eye. She looks at me as I am looking at her and some wisdom passes between us - some exchange is taking place. </p><p>An acknowledgement. <em>I see you. I know who you are and I&#8217;m glad to see you.</em> The surfacing of this conversation - the awareness that I am in relationship to this deeper aspect of my own consciousness makes me feel, how do I say this? It makes me feel real. As if, without her, I was not complete. As if, with her, I am whole.</p><p>This strange self-awareness is so pure and simple it seems almost silly. Childlike. Is it even worth talking about. And yet, when I see her and she sees me, I quiet inside. The hyper-vigilance about how I&#8217;m doing, how you&#8217;re doing, how the world is doing stops churning. The chatter about how I look and how you look settles down.  </p><p>My breath slows. My body comes to rest. I can hear my thoughts going by. I am always surprised (stunned, actually) by the nonsense that moves unchallenged through my head. Self-criticism: <em>I should be different, they should be different, the world should be different.</em> And all my proposed resolutions - ways to be better, do better, look better. List after list of improvements.</p><p>When I&#8217;m not paying attention, it&#8217;s so noisy inside my head. </p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2

And I <em>am</em> paying attention. </p><p>Lately, when I look into my own eyes in the mirror - into <em>her</em> eyes - I don&#8217;t wince away. Instead, clarity comes. I know who I am. I know who she is. </p><p>Sometimes, in the mirror, we smile - she and I. We shrug. The first time this happened, I laughed out loud. Mostly now, I smile - at her, at myself, warmly, with great respect and love. </p><p>I am not afraid any more. None of the things I am thinking about matter. There is nothing to fear. When I look into her eyes - my own beautiful eyes - I discover I am brave - so brave. And I am free. </p><div><hr></div><p>Self-realization is a process. We meet ourselves in the mirror, in dreams, in conversations with the people we encounter. We hear ourselves speak and we ask: Where did that come from? We watch ourselves move and we nod. I know her. I know him. This is the evolution of consciousness emerging in daily life. This is the invitation to make your practice in the middle of everyday, in everything you do. In everything you don&#8217;t do. This is the way.</p><div><hr></div><p> The guides smile as I bring this to the page. I feel their smile in the energy. I hear it in their voice. They tell me:</p><blockquote><p><em>As you adjust to living inside of the message of love and peace, your old habits will become visible to you. As they become visible, they will soften and fall away and you will no longer be able to access the thoughts and feelings you used to take for granted. You will respond in new ways, more genuinely, with more presence. You will be less and less caught in habitual reactive responses, less haunted by re-minders of your past and much more settled inside of yourself. You will shift fully into the message field and the sense that you are splitting will also dissolve. For you are not splitting, you are changing worlds, shifting from the world of fear to dwell fully in the world of love and peace.</em></p><p><em>As you shift, the layers of your body are adjusting to the higher frequency of the field of our message, you may experience surges in the physical body and emotions. You may feel pressure or zaps of electricity or heat in the body. You may have headache, nausea or vertigo. You may feel weepy or angry. You may swing, inexplicably, from joy to grief and back again. You may see flashes of light or color as the etheric body adjusts.</em></p><p><em>And yet, as you rest inside the field of our message, you will not be concerned about these occurrences for your awareness is also being heightened and you just know things will be okay. At the same time, certain things will become inaccessible to you. You will not be able to un-know our message - and so even though, in the past, you could take a vacation from kindness, from compassion, now, separation from our message of love will create upheavals.</em></p><p><em>You will no longer be able to cause fear or suffering to another without feeling it yourself. You will experience more directly the effects of your mirror universe. You will witness, also, the effects of your own thoughts much more directly. You will wish for contact with someone and they will call you - or show up out of the blue.</em></p><p><em>This is the beginning of living inside the field of love and blessing, the way of joy.</em></p><p>Received May 12, 2016</p><div><hr></div><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank"

Take these concepts, which Amy translates from thought stream onto the page and translate them, in your way, from the page and into action. This is the way of change, of expansion. This is the way of the flow and when the flow moves through a human being it becomes creativity: for you are translators, here to translate energy of thought/imagery/vision into action. And by your action, into new forms. In other words, you are makers.</em></p><p><em>You are makers.</em></p><p><em>And it is no accident that you, Amy, married an architect early in your life. For together you are doing the same work &#8211; moving inspiration into imagery and imagery into form. You are as mirrors. For the poets are the pattern readers and the architects are the pattern mappers, who see the maps of the built world before it takes form. </em></p><p><em>Likewise, nature's pattern holders are the nature spirits, the devas, who hold the maps of the natural world; and just as every building has an architect, so every leaf and tree, every plant and flower has a deva of its own; one who knows its way and its name, one who re-minds it, steadily, what it is.</em></p><p><em>The devas &#8216;hold pattern&#8217; inside of space and time (space/time) in the world of forms (manifest world). It is through &#8216;knowing&#8217; and holding these forms that nature co-creates/makes the world with you - and with the One intelligence that maps and holds the vision space for the field of all creation. </em></p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank"

The &#8216;call&#8217; emerges as the space opens. And that 'something' is a dream (vision/image) with a name and intention of its own. And this intention arises with the opening - as an answer arises with its question. </em></p><p><em>In other words, the call to fill in a blank space or solve a particular problem contains the blueprint (pattern) for its solution. This pattern guides the one who draws the map into form.</em></p><p><em>And we are showing Amy many images, to demonstrate how&nbsp;forms are in-spired:&nbsp;brought as dream (vision) first and then, drawn down into the body through curiosity; how visions are 'animated' by the application of attention to them. And how these 'animated' thought&nbsp;forms&nbsp;are drawn further into form, and&nbsp;given life through your action. </em></p><p><em>These&nbsp;patterns inspire you to movement, and these movements have effects in the world. <br><br>We are pointing to the movement of speech - and&nbsp;patterns of words, which join together to make spoken or written messages. <br>We are pointing to the movement and patterns of planting, which join together as gardens and farms,&nbsp;yielding flowers&nbsp;and food. <br>We are pointing to the movements of choreography, which flow through the bodies of&nbsp;dancers,&nbsp;to yield leaps and twirls across a stage. <br>We are pointing to the patterns and movements of music, which yield symphonies, operas, popular songs.</em></p><p><em>You are creative beings, with the&nbsp;ability to transmute thought into form.</em></p><p><em>Where there was no-thing an opening emerges and with it, the call for something to be&nbsp;placed&nbsp;there. And that something has an intention of its own. An intention that manifests with the emergence of the call.&nbsp;(In other words, the opening knows what it is calling for. And it calls for that and it calls that to itself by the specific pattern/energy signature of only that - a signature held only by that which would fill this space at this time. We might say, emergence calls to itself by name.)</em></p><p><em>And this pattern/this shape/this knowing guides the one who makes pattern into form. As the architect draws the map of a building onto paper, he is seeing the vision of that building in his mind&#8217;s eye &#8211; as an image.&nbsp;And that image came from a thought, and that thought was inspired by the emergence of an opening in the imaginal field of the world.</em></p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank"

And so, while we are willing to engage that conversation if you wish to have it, that is not our purpose for today.</em></p><p><em>Today&#8217;s message is about Holding and Pattern Making</em></p><p><em>For there is work to be done, which will require some understanding of how these things operate/flow in the world.</em></p><p><em>This work to be done involves your willingness to see and imagine (en-VISION) new ways of being in the world together. And we angels are showing Amy an image of one of your politicians&nbsp;and we are using this as an example of a way of being in the world, which creates division of the one from the other and which seeds division along fault lines of trauma, which were earlier set into place by your culture of greed and separation, guilt and shame.</em></p><p><em>For it is not this politician who is causing these fissures in the social/collective commons: the causes are there, and these are the creations of the culture of not-love - a culture of me versus you, of domination vs cooperation - all of which creates pain. </em></p><p><em>And we offer these examples: the confusion of witnessing acts of violence on television and in film as entertainment; the witnessing and receiving of acts of unkindness and escalating rudeness, acts of cruelty displayed as humor; breakdowns in civility and layers of structural padding which insulate your 'choice-makers' from the effects of the choices they make.</em></p><p><em>And we would offer these examples </em>[of choices made from separation] <em>from the culture of not-love:</em></p><p><em>&#8226; The CEO whose decision to lay off workers deals a blow - a personal blow - to hundreds of families.</em></p><p><em>&#8226; The editor who pumps up the drama in a news lead or magazine story, and misleads the reader.</em></p><p><em>&#8226; The </em>[medical]<em> insurance adjuster who denies a claim and condemns a family to lose a loved one.</em></p><p><em>&#8226; The&nbsp;military officer who orders a remote control bomb strike on a&nbsp;faraway land.</em></p><p><em>Though these seem small choices as they are made, they strike a blow. The effect is real and these seeming small actions aggregate, becoming&nbsp;EVIDENCE &#8212; in the heart of the worker denied his claim, in the mind of the magazine readers&#8212; that the world is less safe, less kind. </em></p><p><em>These &#8216;small choices&#8217; create a particular form of trauma -&nbsp;and yes, all of these things create trauma: direct, personal trauma, as when a&nbsp;bomb lands&nbsp;on your house or your father is laid off&nbsp;and&nbsp;your family home is foreclosed upon. Direct personal trauma as&nbsp;when your body is poisoned; when your health care is cut off; when your loved one dies. And more subtle, indirect forms of trauma,&nbsp;experienced when stories of devastation and loss fill the news; when&nbsp;the world seems less safe, less kind than it actually is.</em></p><p><em>Though the choices of the CEO, military officer and editor may seem insignificant, they have their effects in the world. Effects which those who make these choices may never see directly, though as the world darkens for others, it will seem to darken, also for the choice makers.</em></p><p><em>So, even though the CEO may never look upon the faces of the workers he has fired, there is always blow-back. This is Karma, Amy is pointing out, and we say, Yes, and yet karma, expressed in this way can sound like revenge, like payback, and this is not the way of things.</em></p><p><em>The way of things is always flow and flow is always in call and response relationship with the wholeness of things.</em></p><p><em>In the wholeness of things, every action you take creates a wave and every wave is responded to by its mirror - a wave of like power (energy), in frequency and intensity. And so, the CEO may lose his connection to feeling; the editor may develop a stress-related illness; the bomb coordinator may have nightmares. Having created acts through the layers of insulation which more and more separate them from the effects of those acts, they may experience themselves as cut off from the world of feeling and sensing, from relationships; from sensation in their own bodies.</em></p><p><em>This may lead them to seek out healing or escape in ever-increasing stimulation, including more violence, more drama, just to be able to feel. And then, overwhelmed with the shadow effects of these things, they may reach to numb feeling altogether through drugs and other addictions.</em></p><p><em>And Amy is saying that this is the kind of statement that we make which worries her. As she writes what we show her, she feels pain in her arms and shoulders. She writes quickly, to keep up with our message, which we are bringing in images today as words are out of reach for her this morning. She is afraid of this part of our message and will need new willingness, new courage, in order to deliver it. And she sensed this message was coming and she hid from it for three days. </em></p><p><em>She hid in her own addictions to rich food and &nbsp;television; she hid in fantasies about the journey she would take to see her daughter. And this is not to say that she should not enjoy her life but, rather, that she used these things this week to hide - and checking Facebook every few minutes to connect there, instead of here.</em></p><p><em>And so we take a moment to reassure her now that we are here and this is real and that we stand behind our message and we stand with her. Amy can trust us and Reader, so can you.</em></p><p>Received on this day of May 1, 2016</p><div><hr></div><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img"

And the readers of our message will be feeling this, as well. For as they participate in our message their senses are heightened, as well. And this is good and all is well, even though it may feel uncomfortable at times, as you become accustomed to living at this heightened, in this higher, frequency state. </em></p><p><em>For several days, (since receiving the &#8216;Jesus message&#8217;) you tossed in sleep and worried this name would draw unwanted attention your way. For it is your nature to do your work in private and it is the nature of our message to draw attention and so, these things seem to be in conflict here and now.</em></p><p><em>You have felt the powerful pull of the gaze of the world before - when you sat in the editor&#8217;s chair at the magazine and the audience of the famous author turned toward the column that you shared. And you felt their attention on the work and, by association, on you. And this felt like a quickening in the air around you &#8211; and a pressure, as the energy was moving faster and bigger than you were used to.</em></p></blockquote><p>Like being caught in a windstorm. </p><blockquote><p><em>Yes. And the wind surprised and alarmed you then, until you got used to it. And we remind you that you DID get used to it. Yet now you are unwilling to make that sacrifice again. You are strongly boundaried in this way. That is your nature and we bless this with you now and we say,  Be as you are: for it is your nature to live a quieter way.</em></p><p><em>And in the matter of the clarity and certainty of our message, we would re-mind you that just this morning, when you looked back through the manuscript, you had the experience of certainty. The concepts had tested true, which gave you a crystal clarity. What you wrote was true and good - and tested. This clarity is necessary and it is the result of this work that we are doing here together.</em></p><p><em>A note to the reader:  In the past, Amy would asilence the connection between us by removing her attention and her willingness from the task at hand. Now, as she is experiencing herself as living within the field of our message, she is seeing that she is always with us and we are always with her. And this has always been the way. Yet when she was 'turned away' it was as if the volume was turned down, in the way that turning down the volume on a  television puts the sound in the background. When the volume was 'low' enough, she could feel ease in what she perceived as &#8216;our demand&#8217; for her attention yet it was 'loud' enough that she was still aware of our presence. We had not gone away. And she would check in with us at intervals, asking, &#8220;Are you there?&#8221; in her mind &#8211; touching in as one might reach into a pocket to be certain of a key or a lucky stone.</em></p><p><em>And we were there and we are here. Our presence is not a demand for attention &#8211; nor is the steady flow of our message a demand that she write it down. Our message is steady for it is our nature to steadily flow love and peace. Just as it is your nature to receive this flow as &#8216;a message&#8217; when truly, it is simply our way. It is how the flow flows: steadily and without end.</em></p><p><em>It is our way to be here with you &#8211; just as we would ask you to re-member now that it is your way to be here with us. And this is why you reach into that pocket, this is why you are moved, by your own nature, to touch in with that key, that stone.</em></p><p><em>When we say that <strong>we are here with you,</strong> we are merely stating what is true. And so this feeling of &#8216;demand' that Amy experiences is not real. We will speak directly to Amy now and we will soften this, for this feeling of demand will be here as long as she believes that she is beholden to us or to our message.</em></p><p><em>Amy, we do not &#8216;need&#8217; you to bring our message through. We do not need you to help us with some project of healing or &#8216;saving the world&#8217;. These are concepts you made and they are not of us, and they do not represent our purpose.  From our perspective, nothing is wrong &#8211; and nothing requires healing or saving. We are not here to fix anyone &#8211; or anything. Rather, we are here to invite you and the readers of these words into the field of our message of love and peace. And as we have said, the way into this field is to follow joy.</em></p><p><em><strong>The way into the field of our message of love and peace is to follow joy</strong></em></p><p><em>And you are sensing our presence more strongly and more fully than ever before, you are experiencing it as real. As you get used to our presence, you will become accustomed to living inside of the field of our message (and our love). It will become second nature to you. </em></p><p><em>For it IS your nature to abide with us and it is our nature to hold you, inside of the field of our message of love and peace.</em></p><p><em><strong>The world is as you are.</strong></em></p><p><em>Amy is starting to notice that she is living inside of the &#8216;field of our message&#8217;. So we will stop and discuss this with her now and, Reader, it will be instructive for you, as well. For when you encounter our teaching/our message and it feels resonant, you will follow your own alignment to that and come into harmony with that and we will play together the song of that resonance, which is a field of resonance and not a binding - for you are free to follow or not follow; free to align or not align to our message of love and peace.</em></p><p><em>If it is your nature to follow you will feel a natural &#8216;call&#8217; to follow and here we want to be clear that this &#8216;call&#8217; comes from you - from within you - it is the call of your own source code and your own joy, recognizing itself in us.</em></p><p><em>It is not we who call, we simply stay, holding the pattern of our own joy. And if you are called by that, called toward that, this call is yours, it is from you. We welcome you to vibrate with us; we include you as you include yourself inside this field. Yet we have no requirement of you as you rest here. There is no pressure, no imposition of our &#8216;way&#8217; upon you, no binding on your freedom.</em></p><p><em>From within the field of our message, Amy has the experience that our message is surrounding/holding her inside of itself and this is so, for as she holds herself WITH us, she is held BY us - in attuned alignment with us. And from within this field - this message, this song - the whole world seems lifted, brighter and faster... and so it is and will be as she has crossed into a new vibratory pattern and as its field holds her (and she holds herself there) the world re-constellates around her, to adjust to that pattern. Which is to say that <strong>the world will accommodate any pattern you hold.</strong></em></p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img"
