Dear Lightcarrier,

Life is this simple: we are living in a world that is absolutely transparent and the divine is shining through it all the time. This is not just a nice story or fable, it is true.
~ Thomas Merton

I was struck by this quote from the American monastic and mystic, Thomas Merton. He speaks to what is true, what can actually be known not just believed in. He speaks of the Light that flows through all of life without any exception, including us.

This concept may feel abstract but it is not only real, it is practical, useful. Light teases greater love, more gratitude, more kindness, peace, beauty, wisdom into our ways of thinking and reacting and creating within our lives. That’s what it does. That is the promise of the Light.

When there is a problem at work, we can focus on the light of our inner Presence more than the problem, allowing it to soften us and others. It then creates unexpected solutions in the situation. Doing this myself, I am always amazed at how solutions find their way into things.

When there are difficulties with friends or family, staying centered on Presence stops the tendency to loop, to say things we regret, or to get attached to the story. That Light-filled Presence is what helps us stay in the present too, instead of getting caught in the patterns and stories from the past.

The power of our own Light helps us speak more authentically even when it’s very difficult. It facilitates coherence, making it easier to communicate, to care, to work things through in us and with others.

When troubled, turning first to my Light leads me through with less effort and more wisdom. It finds the best way to move forward, regardless of what is there. This is part of the promise of the Light. The grace of the Light within is an unparalleled life coach.

When there is the level of uncertainty we face now, Merton’s words also tell me this: life IS transparent. It is not the story it currently appears to be. When we look through the layers, we see the transparency of it all and the Light illuminates the safest and best path through.

This is something good to remember, isn’t it, as we navigate our often stormy seas now? It feels timely to bring our hearts and minds back to who we really are at a time when it is easy to fear for our security in all the uncertainty. The Light we carry contains healing balm and is an antidote to these times. Keeping a focus there, it can work its magic in our lives.

From within the Light we share, I’m sending love,

Beloved Ones,

It is currently a bumpy road and most of you are feeling this in various ways. Yes, it is buckle-up time, as some of you say. But we wish to say that you have come through much in your lives – from personal to financial crises to even a pandemic – and you have not only survived but you have grown and thrived.

Let us reassure you that you will do the same with whatever is ahead. We wish to offer four guidelines to assist you as you move forward. We will give you a list, if we may.

Remember, first and foremost that there is greater wisdom and ease in the Light you carry. Focus more on your Light than any of the many scary stories at hand. There is miracle in this.

Second, you need one another. Share resources such as your love and wisdom and your hope. Support one another. Reach out to friends and family. Keep your conversations to what matters, not on the scary stories.

Speak of the love and care you have for one another, encourage one another, share your humor, speak of your hopes and dreams for the world. Be vigilant in doing this, we cannot emphasize it enough. It is how your world is formed.

Either you will create more firmly the scary stories in the world, or you will more firmly anchor into physical form the better world you know it is meant to be. Which do you think you are here for, Lightcarrier? Take this seriously, please.

Third, bring your energetic gifs into service to balance the world. We suggest that you do this by creating an altar to the four directions in your home. It can be small or large. Anchor the East, West, South and North. Place something on the altar for each of the elements of earth, air, fire, water and ether.

Call forth the great Masters of the 4 directions. Offer prayers of gratitude to Gaia, speak your intentions for your world, and create an energetic geometry that is balancing, stabilizing. You may use the 5-pointed star, or the flower of life, or 4 pillars of light or the yin yang symbol. There are many ways to do this, be creative and follow your own guidance but call for balance and stability to prevail.

Use sound to create coherence and greater harmony especially between factions that are widely divided in humanity – call for cooperation, create a middle ground. Work with this altar daily, if only by lighting the central candle and saying a prayer.

Fourth, resist lethargy, indecision, depression and so forth. To combat these, we suggest one simple but unusual antidote. Anytime your mind clouds, is fuzzy, or your energy bottoms out, or your mood plummets, rest in the Light of your being for 5 minutes and then rise to a task whether you feel like it or not.

For your task, we especially suggest that you clear and reorganize your dwelling places. Move furniture, dispose of piles, clean closets, do a little filing. What is old and has built up untended in your homes are like energy traps for the confusion and heaviness that abounds in the world. It may seem an odd solution but if you will heed us on this matter you will find yourselves oddly lifted out of the miasma that is being pressed upon humanity at this time.

There is more you can do to assist both your own persons and others, Lightcarrier, but these 4 things are good places to focus. Beyond that, follow your guidance and you will be inspired.

Remember, these speed bumps (and this is a very apt term, we might add) were known to you. They are part of why you came. You are well prepared to deal with them and to assist those in your own circles to do the same. Be the Light you came to be.

Dear Receiver,

It is often said: You have to ask to receive. This refers to a common biblical verse frequently quoted as, Ask and you shall receive. The verse is Matthew 7:7. But it doesn’t really say you have to ask to receive. Nor does it even say, Ask and you shall receive.

What the scripture actually says is, Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you shall find; knock, and the door will be opened to you.

Hmmm. It seems we tend to place the emphasis on the necessity of asking, of seeking, of knocking… on the verb, the doing. In the first instance – Ask and you shall receive – that’s where we’ve given emphasis in our misquoting, right? On asking. In the scripture the emphasis seems to be on something being given. A gift. Very different.

Let’s begin with the word ask, though. Asking implies wanting something, asking for something, petitioning someone for something. If we take asking as the point, that’s what we are implying.

There is something important about being able to ask for what we want of course, but I don’t think that’s what this scripture is about. I doubt it’s about wanting something and needing to ask for it… I think this biblical wisdom might be suggesting something much more profound and wondrous.

I think it’s saying: It’s all there for you. Whatever you ask for is there. Whatever you seek, it is there. It’s ALL there. It’s all yours already.

Thinking along this line recently, I happened upon a message I received some years ago that I shared in a group meeting. It seems to fit perfectly with my recent rumination about asking and receiving. Here it is for your consideration.
Blessings on your day,
~ 💜 Mayet

Receiving it All

Beloved Ones,

Ask and you shall receive, you say. And what do you wish to receive? More love, you might say, or money, or a better car or job or health.

You have learned to make affirmations for such things, you have studiously tried to improve at manifesting. You have delved into why you are creating lack, you have questioned your ability to receive, you have kept the faith and kept trying. You have worked hard and sincerely at this. You have tried, basically, to become a good attractor – to attract things of all kinds into your life more effortlessly, more accurately, more successfully.

If we may, let us focus this matter a little differently for you all. What does receiving mean to the spiritual pilgrim? The point of it all is not about how to get things, though this can be part of receiving. What is it that you are being suggested to receive, dear ones?

The aim is not to receive this thing or that thing needed in any moment. It’s not about things. The aim is to receive the Fullness that is All Things. From the Heart of Love, from the Source of all Things. This Source is beaming to you – to everyone and everything – in every moment. It is beaming the Source of all Creation, the great formulating energy of life itself.

The action needed is to more consciously receive it All. It is all there for you and always there for you. The busy busy of your daily lives causes you to forget this. To forget what you are receiving constantly. You are receiving Fullness and not just the singular wants or needs -the things – you have need of, or desire for, in this or that moment. You are receiving it All. All that you desire is in what you are already receiving.

The action is found in consciously enjoying what is always coming – freely given – from the Source of all things. Rather than limiting it to your current need. It is in receiving the All that is being constantly given, that your life and its needs and dreams and things are funded. In this is the strength you need, the wisdom you need. In it is the joy, the purpose you desire. There, also, is your peace.

So we suggest to you that you have by this time in your life gained all to be gained from your efforts at manifesting. We suggest that now you more simply just begin to relax and receive the Fullness given to you in your every breath of every day of your life, knowing all else follows this.

How shall you do this? Simply take a moment, right now. Breath in, with the awareness of the Fullness given in this breath you take. Or with your attention on your physical and energetic bodies let yourself be aware of the Fullness coming into your system every moment. It is a feast of Fullness prepared as a banquet for you. Take it in.

In the Fullness given you, every asker is already a receiver. Every seeker is already a finder. Everyone knocks on a door already open to them. It is given. Do you see?
