A Poem: "Sovereignty... A User's Manual"

Free Will…
Does, as It Wills,
Without a care for tomorrow.

Extending the Same,
To others it names,
It empties the confines of sorrow.


Imprison a mind,
And soon you will find,
Your own mind will certainly follow.

To hope to commute,
Your sentence transmute,
You must salvage a heart that is hollow.

Fill it with love,
From Heaven above, or from You…
It’s One and the Same.


Your heart, and theirs,
Are destiny shared,
Embrace this and gladly proclaim:

"Free Will is Goodwill"
(Not 'Do-as-I-will' Will),
Releasing the bondage of pain.

In speaking this way,
You can certainly say,
Now I know my True Name.


Heart that is Pure,
Mind that is Free,
This is True Sovereignty.

"No limits" are shared,
If you know this, then dare…
To Love, and Do As You Will.

A Saint-Germain Channel: "Higher Mind and Emotions"

We are preparing a book for publication, in collaboration with Saint-Germain, which will address The New You, New Relationships, and the New Society. Here is an excerpt from a chapter that came through a few days ago. It seems especially timely now.

Alexandra and Dan


My Dear Friends,

The last few days have been emotionally difficult. But that doesn’t mean things aren’t working out or that you’ve gotten stuck somehow.

Let me explain something to you.

In recent days, Humanity has experienced an energetic reconfiguration.

“What are you talking about?” you might ask.

Just this: An old tendency to impulsively react and discharge human emotions has been realigned and recalibrated.

The days of emotional self-indulgence are coming to a close. If this has been one of your favorite modes of expression, enjoy it while you can! It won’t last much longer.

You are at a place in your Human Experience where continually shifting your allegiance between base, emotional states – such as anger, euphoria, self-pity, and depression – will no longer serve you as catapults for your growth.

In the Old World, there was a point to experiencing extreme emotions. It served the evolution of your consciousness.

As you struggled to harmonize conflicting emotional states, and your over-identification with them, it led you to postulate, long for, and eventually inquire about a Higher Aspect of your Self…

Your calm, Peaceful Center.

This is Your Higher Mind, the Neutral Observer.

Your Higher Mind is closer to Divinity than your human intellect, which is influenced by the conflicting demands and beliefs of your ego.

The Higher Mind is inspired by your True Feelings, and understands them well.

It is also aware of the energetic environments that you enter.

Because of this, your Higher Mind can express your Deeper Feelings with clarity and precision, without succumbing to the emotional turbulence around you, or creating it within you. It remains emotionally calm and neutral, even when confronted with challenging situations.

Here is the good news: Your Higher Mind is coming online now.

A Message: "Choosing Life or Death"

From Dan Bennack and Alexandra Mahlimay, to a friend.
Cluj-Napoca, Romania
www.joyandclarity.com

If you would like to share this message with a friend, Click here.

Dear Friend,

Thanks for your courage in writing about your recent experiences, and about wanting to release your trials, and your body, through death.

I feel it’s important to honor our choices; even those we make to exit this world.

I also think it’s important not to romanticize, mythologize, or otherwise misrepresent death or suicide to ourselves.

Death is a natural process. It is a transition from one state of consciousness to another.

This transition can be accomplished by releasing the physical body through death. But it can also be accomplished while we are still living in the body. It’s all a matter of choice.

Death happens all the time. Think about it.

Oftentimes when we enter a process of deep, transformational change, we suffer as though we are dying.

We engage in a process so profound that it requires us to relinquish apparent control over the direction of our lives in order to FEEL the True Leadership and Direction of the Soul.

Yes, deep transformational change can feel like death. And it resembles the experience of dying.

But when this experience happens upon us, we are still living. This is the paradox. It is not confined to the moments in which we approach, contemplate, or experience physical death. It hits us, full stride – right in the middle of the life we're living.

I have suffered and psychologically died in this body at least three times. Once, about a month after birth, and twice as an adult.

The experience of death requires that the ego be still and surrender before the Greater Reality of the Soul. This may be what you are feeling now. It can be quite overwhelming.

(The ego is the fragmented, distorted perception of our personality that we experience in our day-to-day living. It is filled with inner conflicts and unmet needs, as well as healthy attributes.)

At certain times in life, we realize that the ego-driven personality can’t resolve our problems.

That’s when the obstacles to our progress seem insurmountable and our lives become heavy with the burdens we are no longer willing to carry.

That’s when the ego panics. It feels threatened.

Its fragmented, helter-skelter approach to life is not working, and it knows it.

Its habitual way of rationalizing, sentimentalizing, and doing whatever is expedient to control our life is falling short; and it can’t handle the news.

That’s when the Soul approaches.

That’s when we feel the call.

That’s when we know there must be something better than the challenges we’ve been facing; and we long for it.

We begin to feel the Soul’s Presence and respond to it.

But at this critical time, especially when sadness, depression, and desperation are running high, the ego may make one last attempt to wrestle control from the Soul.

It feels the Soul coming in to comfort and guide.

It knows it cannot beat the Soul because the Soul offers something Real and Priceless, while the ego offers nothing but trinkets and illusions.

The ego believes that it will be supplanted or eliminated by the Soul, when the Soul steps in to consciously direct our lives.

The ego assumes that it will cease to exist, as the Soul takes over where it has failed to resolve life’s challenges.

In a moment of vulnerability and desperation, when we are ready to concede that there MUST be a better way, and then choose it – that’s when the ego may play one last trick, one that allows it to retain influence to the very end.

It will agree.

It will say, “Yes, the Soul is what you need. I agree completely. You do need to be comforted and sheltered from the harsh realities of this world.”

“Go and rest. Welcome the Soul into your life. This is what you need.”

“And by the way, I will take you there. I know exactly how to meet the Soul and find the peace you have longed for. It’s easy. Just listen to me.”

Then the ego will propose the preposterous. It will say that there is no other way to take up a Soul Life, than to join the Soul in death.

The ego may sound comforting and truthful while presenting this information, but it’s a lie. There are other ways.

The ego will tell this lie because it knows that when we choose to join the Soul now in Life, the ego will cease to exist.

It knows that when we embody the Soul in our physical forms, that this will be the ego's undoing.

When the Truth and Reality of the Soul consciously takes up residence within us, all that is unreal vanishes.

The bullshit stops.

The ego disappears.

The ego – that vast amalgam of sub-personalities competing for our attention with incompatible interests and unreasonable demands – ceases to exist.

It returns to Source. It becomes part of the Greater Life of the Soul.

This is terrifying for the ego. It would rather kill us than cease to exist itself.

That’s why the ego, with it’s twisted logic, may propose suicide as a way to return Home; rather than relinquish its control to the Soul, as the Soul takes up conscious residence within the physical body.

My advice to you, dear friend, is this:

Welcome the Deep Changes in your life that these challenges are bringing you. Allow them to provoke a Transition in you. This is a natural part of the evolution of your consciousness.

But rather than undertaking this transition through death, consider allowing your Soul to come closer to your physical form in Life.

Give your Soul permission to enter your life and operate where the ego can never go.

My friend, I honor your choice, whatever it is.

Just remember that whether you choose life or death, you will still find yourself at the same place.

You will find yourself – whether on this side of the veil or the other – having to dismantle your ego.

In order to make the transition in consciousness you long for – so that you can experience a Soul Life fully – you will still have to reclaim the power and control that you have ceded to the ego.

And then you will have to put this back in the hands of your Soul – where it belongs.

This is the “price of admission” to Heaven – whether you choose to experience Heaven here on Earth, or somewhere beyond the veil of death.

There are no short cuts in this process. None at all.

So my advice is to go to the depths of your current experience here on Earth. Make a commitment to see it through, even if you feel frightened or discouraged. Promise yourself to see the other side of this experience.

You may feel like you’re dying along the way. But, so what?

When the ego is finally undone, and the psychological death and suffering you are experiencing has ended; you will awaken closer to your Soul than ever before.

And you will be amazed at the New Person you have become.

Remember:

You don’t have to die physically to live as Spirit.

You can take up a Soul Life, right here and now, in the body. That’s the whole point of the Earth Experiment. That’s why we are here.

With love and honor for a life well-lived,

Dan Bennack

A Saint-Germain Channel: "Deconstructing the Old, Birthing the New"

With Archangel Raphael

(Note: The following material comes from a private session with Alexandra that is kindly offered with the client’s consent.)

Our beloved friend,

Here we are, your Angelic Team, together with Saint-Germain, and the Archangel you know as Raphael. We are joining you in this moment of truth, along with your God Self, your Soul, and the very precious Human You.

These past weeks and months have indeed been challenging for you. They have challenged your beliefs about who you are, and about your spirituality and your life.

There has been a major change in your life, a change in which you’ve let go of all the belief systems that were no longer serving you. By doing this, you’ve let go of yourself. We mean to say that when you let go of yourself, you were releasing control over the Human You and your creations.

So what happens when you let go of yourself? The Human You lets go of the Old and starts recreating its energetic existence. This means that the Human You may feel challenged by the many different "aspects" of its presence here on Earth.

Specifically, the Human You begins to feel challenged about everything it once believed was you; with the sub-personalities that your ego used in the past to define your identity.

For example, if you once considered yourself to be a good partner because you complied with certain criteria – because you did “this” or felt “that” – please know that recent transformations in your energetic existence have broken down these old structures, these old beliefs. As a consequence, the Human You no longer knows what it means to be a “good partner”.

These transformations have led the Human You to reconsider the way it acts, not only with a partner, but also in relationship with others – and most importantly, in relationship with yourself.

You have also experienced the collapsing of structures in other areas of your life.

For example, as you look at your financial situation, you find yourself in a place where you question how to bring abundance into your life. The old way doesn’t make sense, nor are you sure how the New Way will work.

Perhaps until recently, you believed you were about to bring abundance into your life. But suddenly you discovered that the structures you’ve worked with for so long, were no longer serving you as they once did. Even more disconcerting, you watch as these beliefs and structures fall apart before your eyes. This leaves you, once again, with the question you thought you’d finally come to understand, “What does it really mean to be abundant?”

All of this deconstructing has brought you to the verge of questioning your spiritual path. Are you on it or not? Yes, you’ve even come to doubt whether you are spiritual or not.

You have doubted, and still doubt, your ability, capacity, and strength to continue onward. Recent experiences have left you feeling quite empty, disoriented, and confused – and with no clue about what’s coming next.

So how are you feeling now? This is a lot of information, so why don’t we take a moment now and breathe?

Better?

Good.

So now, let’s change our perspective.

You’ve probably already heard, even if parts of you didn’t believe it, that the Human You is about to step into a New World. How do you feel when you hear this statement?

Do you have feelings about this, or are your worries distracting you from this deeper knowing?

Let’s try something.

Relax, breathe deeply – and once you feel settled and calm, ask yourself how you really feel about this?

Are you ready to welcome these Big Changes into your life, or does this just feel like another leap into the unknown?

We are asking you to be still now, and feel within.

Do you really believe this is just another leap of faith into the darkness? Or could something else be going on? Ask yourself this.

Perhaps this is not about leaping into the unknown at all. Perhaps it’s not about throwing yourself into a process that seems to go on and on. Maybe you’re done with that.

Perhaps you’re no longer climbing the ladder of spiritual growth and attainment, hoping to reach the top. Maybe your climb is over.

If not, and you feel you are still climbing; then perhaps you should question the nature of your ascent.

Ask yourself truthfully: Are the rungs of this ladder necessary?

Are they even real? Or do they just seem to materialize out of nowhere, every time you slip into self-doubt again? Every time you feel you’re not good enough, or believe you haven’t done enough to deserve a wonderful life?

Could this be the case? Ask yourself this.

Perhaps there’s no ladder at all. Have you ever stopped to consider this? How would this information change your world?

Look around and see where you find yourself. Are you done with this work? Are you ready now to be done? – Because this is what the “falling apart” in your life has been about in recent weeks and months.

You’ve let yourself; or rather, you’ve allowed your Soul to start an extensive process of deconstruction in order to bring into this world from the depths of your Being, the New You. This New You will be birthed in a matter of weeks, not years.

Give yourself over to the spontaneity of this birthing, instead of exhausting yourself by “willing” things to progress. If you do so, you will find a New Freedom of Expression – in the relationships you have with yourself and others, in your experiences of deeper abundance, and in the way your body begins to move and function in healthier, more balanced ways.

All of these things will appear more frequently in your life, and with greater stability, as you continue embodying the New You. And rest assured, this transition into the New You will be very natural. It will not require work, effort, or struggle on your part. You will merely stay centered, holding a focus on the New You that you are inviting into your life.

Just allow the New You to emerge into this reality. Allow the birthing you have made possible through your choices and desires.

Remember, dearest one, you are supported and loved beyond measure. Know that you are doing fine and that we are always at your side.
