He Who Seeks Finds …

[It’s been quite a while since I posted an article, rather than a channeling, but I do as I’m inspired to do … 😉👍 — Rob]

I woke up last Sunday morning with a phrase running through my mind.  Having slept in on such a lazy morning, I kept thinking about it, and several more phrases came to mind.  As I thought about it over the next two hours, more and more phrases spontaneously revealed themselves … so, of course, I took it as a clear message from spirit! 

Rob Channeling

The message shaped up as this:

Seek nature and find grandeur;

Seek the young and find hope;

Seek meaning and find truth;

Seek the truth and find wonder;

Seek blessings and find gratitude;

Seek solitude and find peace;

Seek love and find Heaven;

Seek yourself and find God.

~~~

These are all based on (and expand on) Jesus’/Yeshua’s teaching in Matthew 7:7-8 (NIV) :

“Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.  For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened.”

The most important revelation about each of these phrases is that in order to find the blessing at the end, one must take action first.  But, these aren’t grand, laborious actions.  They reflect the quiet, internal contemplation of eternal truths, something one can do at any time, irrespective of what is happening in the world.

It doesn’t matter how chaotic the world is or your life may be.  You can always go within, where the external events cannot enter.  Intrusions can only happen if you allow them.  If you focus on the negativity, then you will surely find it.  But, if you want to find blessings, they are there to be found as well!  You simply have to look for them.

For me, so many of these truths are embodied in the face of my young granddaughter, in the form of hope, wonder, gratitude, peace, and love, all of which confirms the presence of the Divine.  When I look at her and think about the future of our beautiful planet, I am filled with joy! And I can’t help but wonder, “Little Miss Magic, whatcha gonna be?” [1]

Quan Yin on Handling Disappointments

Quan Yin

Rob: So I have Quan Yin, but she’s not on the dragon. She’s on the lotus blossom. Interesting. Okay.

Quan Yin, thank you for coming to speak with me, to speak to us. In a previous session today, I heard a question about how could/should we handle disappointments as they arise? So I’d love to hear your thoughts on that.

Quan Yin: Hello, Rob. Hello, all. As always, it is such a pleasure to be able to speak with you in this way. And thank you for receiving me.

You were correct in your analysis of disappointment. It’s really coming from a place, or that it only arises, when events of the world or events in your life do not happen the way that you expected — or as your teammate rightly pointed out, events as you WANTED them to occur — that all of this is really your attempt to control events. We often do this, even unconsciously. We have expectations. We have beliefs about what the will of Heaven is, about how events should unfold, and we develop expectations about those events and how they should unfold. But this is not always the most prudent way forward.

It’s very difficult for humans to fully understand the will of Heaven, the plan, the Divine Plan, and how all events should unfold for the greatest good of all. So it’s easy to fall into the trap of wanting something to happen, to unfold in a particular way, but this is really you exerting your own sense of control over the situations. And then, as you know, anytime you try to exert your control, it usually doesn’t work out the way you think or the way you expect.

So you were correct in discerning that the antidote to control is trust, trust in the Divine Plan. And you get there, you learn that trust, by surrendering yourself to the Divine Plan, even when you do not understand the fullness of what that plan entails. You are simply trusting that all will work out for the greatest good of all, even if you cannot see what that is for all.

It will be easy in the coming days to fall into this trap. Events are unfolding in your lives, on planet, out in a greater society and world events, that many will find disturbing, so there will be a natural tendency to have expectations about what all that means, how it should unfold, what the ramifications of any event should be. But again, there is a subtleness to this, that that is simply attempting to exert your own control, based on your own beliefs, which at this stage is not necessarily from a place of the highest perspective with the greatest good of all concerned.

And then, of course, there is also the possibility of being disappointed with yourself, that as you come to learn and witness events unfolding in a way that was different than what you expected, to get down on yourselves, to be disappointed with yourselves for not understanding the fullness of the plan. Patience! Be patient with yourself. Be compassionate for yourself. You are not meant to understand the full plan.

Personal Guide Malia on Making the Prudent Decision to Receive

Rob: I’m in my sacred landscape, just walking along, and I see up on the right the little round, marble, colonnaded temple, where the Font of Purity is. And as usual, the one that I meet there is my guide, Malia. She’s the golden-haired Angel, with wings.

Okay, I’m greeting her, and she’s suggesting to me to drink a bit of water from the font [to] restore in me that sense of purity, our original purity.

So thank you, Malia, any words about prudence … or anything else?

Malia: Good day, Rob. Good day and greetings to you all.

Yes, this is a reminder that you should spend more time coming to the font, resetting yourself, letting all the cares of the world just disappear, coming back to the reminder of your own state of purity. The core of your being is that state of purity, and this font, this temple that you’ve constructed here, is simply a reminder, a way of getting you back to that place, mentally and emotionally, to reconnect with your spirit, and of course, to all of us.

So we collectively suggested that prudence be the topic of discussion for today, although I would argue that it is a topic for every day. Prudence is understanding what you should be spending your time focusing on, discerning what is good for you, for your state of mind, where you are at the moment.

You were reading earlier today about a flower — i.e. when a flower blooms, it faces the sunshine. It doesn’t do anything but gather up the warmth and the blessings of the energy coming from the sun. It doesn’t do any more than that, other than to simply express its own beauty for what it is.

And receiving that energy, that blessing, at all times, this is all any of you need to do — nothing more than that. Just receive. Just open yourself to receive the energies coming in from the sun, from your environment, from the energies coming from deep cosmic sources. It’s all the same.

It’s all coming for you to reset you, to bring you back to this state of purity, of just being part of the grand creation of God and your part in it. You are part of that creation. You are an expression of that creation. So often you allow life to get in the way of that understanding.

So it is prudent to remember to come back to that place, the core of your being, that state of purity, that pearlescent white and just receive the energies. Allow that to fill you up. That act alone will serve to protect you against all negativity in any form that it may arise, for if you are solid in your core, then nothing can touch you.

Yeshua on Being in a State of Heaven on Earth

Rob: All right, so I’m going to my usual place to talk to Yeshi.

So, Yeshi, thank you for joining me, as always. Based on my conversation with my teammates earlier today, how do we describe the state of Heaven on Earth to those who may have preconceived notions about what heaven means?

Yeshua: Hello, Rob. Hello, all. You very often thank me for joining you, but let me say, I am the one thankful that you have chosen me to come talk to. I am honored.

So your question is not unlike the very question I grappled with during my ministry while here on planet. How do we convince others that heaven is here and now? It is not some place one goes. It is not some future state. It can be here and now. It IS here and now!

You’re all permanent residents of Heaven, as it were. It’s simply a matter of convincing others that that is true. And as you have surmised, it is simply a matter of getting them to accept that point and to decide, for everything is a choice. Do I want to enter into that state right here and right now, or don’t I?

So many people walk through life in a state of fear. And while it may seem paradoxical, fear of Heaven is a real thing. The system in which you live has convinced you that Heaven is a place to be feared. It’s a place of judgment for all that you think you may have done wrong. Nothing could be further from the truth!

Heaven is simply that state of being at-one with God, with yourself, with All That Is. It’s just reconnecting with who you are.

You never actually left that state of Heaven. You’ve simply closed the door to being able to see it, to perceive it, to feel it. And that state of Heaven is simply, in the most simple terms, a state of unconditional love. So many people are afraid of loving themselves. They don’t think they are worthy to feel that kind of love for themselves, for their own perceptions of what they may have done wrong or not gotten quite right. Again, nothing can be further from the truth.

You are all deserving. There is never a state where you are not deserving, no matter what you think you have done. These are all simply choices, choices of what to experience. Yes, you have even chosen, often, to experience situations that are rather unpleasant, but they all serve a purpose. It’s to convince you of who you are by showing you who you are not, that is what it is that you don’t want in your life. And I think at this point it has become abundantly clear to most what they do not want.

So there is nothing to be afraid of. It is simply entering into that state that, “Yes, I am allowed to live a life filled with those things and those situations and those people that I do want.” You are allowed. There was never a point when you were not allowed.

Rob: So Yeshi, you mentioned “deserving” of Heaven, and it struck me about a word that I came across this week, “disserving,” versus “deserving.” Are these related?

The Buddha on Radical Forgiveness

Rob: I see the Buddha sitting in the lotus position, of course, with his back to a tree.

Okay, thank you for seeing me. I’m asking about this phrase “radical forgiveness,” which came to me earlier in the week. Where did that come from? Why did that jump out at me? I’d love to hear your wisdom.

Buddha: Greetings, Rob. Yes, this is the one known as the Buddha, the one who woke up. This has always been an odd expression to me, as if I was the only one who ever woke up! Nothing could be further from the truth. We are all the same. We are all on a journey to understand that, to come to that realization, that we are, in fact, all the same.

And really, this expression that came to you — “radical forgiveness” — is really being absolutely uncompromising in your dedication to forgiving yourself, for ever thinking that you are anything but awake. There is a part of you that is always connected to your Source, to our Source, to the One, that is always awake. You have simply removed yourself from that understanding and put up barriers to prevent yourself from fully experiencing that.

And that was very useful for much of the history of humanity. This is why you came to experience what existence would be like, having removed yourself from your awareness of your Source, of who you are. But the time has come to put that game aside. That play is in its final act, and the curtain will soon close on that particular production.

It seems ironic, though, isn’t it? To wake up, we talk about removing the veil, tearing down the veil, and then I use the analogy of a play where the curtain closes on the production that has now completed. It matters not.

So you are well aware of the need to forgive all that you see. What is unique about this expression, as it came to you, is the word “radical.” Yes, as Yeshua and Mary Magdalene stated [in a recent, previous channeling by my teammate, Jennifer], “radical” is getting at the root, the root of everything, the fundamental cause, the first cause. It’s going back to the very beginning, the beginning of your life here, as a human, in this form, this physical form, seemingly separated from your Source, and forgiving yourself for that.

But its second meaning, that is to be exuberant in that expression, means that you are absolutely uncompromising. EVERYTHING, absolutely everything!, you see must be forgiven. And you are bringing to mind your own personal, favorite definition of forgiveness, to forgive: “for” meaning beforehand, “to give” of yourself the love that you are. It is the act of expressing the love as if nothing happened from before the instance that you were viewing, as if it was something that you find — we’ll call it — distasteful.

Forgive yourself. Put yourself in that place from before any of that happened, for it never actually did. This is all a construct that you have created for your own experience. Accept that experience, understand it for what it is and what it has taught you. But it is then time to let that go and return back to Source, to find yourself in YOUR particular place in the heavenly realm.

In the higher realms, there is so much more to experience. Life on Earth is not the totality. It is simply the beginning. It is one experience. There is so much to look forward to.

Challenge yourself each and every day, no matter what you see, as you feel triggered by one event or another, remember to radically forgive, to get stubborn about that point. “There is nothing I will not forgive!” And as you do so, you will naturally find your connection with the other. You will feel that connection. And once you feel that connection, then you will, in fact, be one step closer to your Source, to the Source of All-That-Is.

Archangel Gi’Anna (Mother Gaia) on Seeing Beauty in Everything

[This is a longer one, since Archangel Gi’Anna opened up to taking questions … but it’s well worth the extra time to read to the end!  And it’s interesting to me that she equates Source, God, Mother-Father-One, All-That-Is, and the Divine as being terms for the same thing.  😉 — Rob]

Rob: I’m asking to talk to Archangel Gi’Anna, Mother Gaia. Having just had the conversation on Beauty, I’m making the assertion, based on my belief, that we see beauty because we want to. That is, we only see it if we’re open to seeing it and choose to see it. Am I correct in my thinking?

I see her as very happy … in fact, clapping her hands!

AA Gi’Anna/Mother Gaia: Greetings, Rob. Greetings, all. Yes, this is an occasion of joy. We are always happy when there is a revelation, an “ah-ha moment.”

You are quite correct; one only sees the beauty that is all around when one chooses to see it, for it is all around at all times, at all levels, in all realms. The creation of Mother-Father-One is beauty in itself. It cannot be otherwise.

Just take the artifact of your own bodies. You associate your body with the physical world and, in some way, that being the non-spiritual world. There’s no such thing! Your body, in itself, is a miracle, [i.e.] what you would think of as a “miracle of engineering.” The physical processes [involved] is such a complex machine, as it were, but at the end of the day, [it is] animated, alive, through the power of creation. The energy of love animates everything, and that is a thing of beauty at all times.

So you are quite correct in your thinking that the whole world around you is filled with the opportunity to see beauty, but only if you choose to see it.

If you’re going through life with your eyes closed, or at least with blinkers on, so that you can’t see what is on the other side of just the surface images and circumstances, then you are missing the full depth of the reality that is before you. It really is only looking skin deep and not at the whole picture.

You often are questioning how you’re going to react with others in one situation or another, but if you go into ANY situation, holding to the point, being present with the thought, that you ARE that spiritual being, connected to the love of All, but more importantly that the other that you are interacting with is no different. They also are connected at all times with All-That-Is, no different than you. And in that sense, every interaction that you have with what you see as another is simply an interaction with All-That-Is, with Mother-Father-One, [and] ultimately, with yourself, for you are part of that same Source energy.

When viewed from that perspective, what opportunity is there to see ANYTHING but God before you? How can any experience be negative?

So yes, beauty is all around you. Open yourself to it. See it. CHOOSE to see it, for everything, all experiences are choices of what it is that you choose to see, what it is that you choose to experience. Just allow. Align yourself with the thought that you are divine, that you are part of that Source energy, and so is everything else. And you are simply, in all experiences, reconnecting with what cannot be not connected.

This is the true definition of being present. It is, in fact, recognizing at all times, who you are, but just as importantly, who everyone else is, what everything else is. It is all here for you for your learning opportunity.

This conversation today is evidence that you are finding your way through that, that you are tearing down that veil that has hidden these truths from you for so long. But understand this veil was not placed by anyone on this side. That is of your own construction, so you may tear it down at any point you choose. Again, all of life is a choice.

Does that answer your question?

Rob: Well, it does for me.

Teammate: It does, but I have a follow-up.

Yeshua on Feeling Unworthy of Heaven

Rob: I see myself meeting Yeshua in our usual place. He’s always got such a big smile on his face, like we haven’t seen each other in a while, but at the same time, it’s like, “Oh yeah, this is no big deal.”

Okay, Yeshua, as always, thank you for meeting with me. Based on our conversation this morning, my teammate and I were wondering about the sense of unworthiness that so many people — most all people — feel with respect to being in heaven, finding heaven on Earth. So I turn that over to you; [is there] anything you have to share with us today that would be helpful.

Yeshua: Hello again, Rob. It is good to be with you again in this setting. These are always times of great joy for us to connect with you in this way, in a more personal way, in an acknowledged way.

Before you started, you mentioned that perhaps you know the answer to the question you are asking, and this is true to a large extent. You do know. I would suggest you all know. This is your life. This is your experience. You know why you are here. You know where you came from. But so often, humans come into a physical life, into a particular incarnation, under the rules that were established for experiencing life here, with the veil shielding you from the understanding, the knowledge, that you came from heaven, that you are part and parcel of heaven at all times, and it’s impossible to remove yourself from that state. And yet you come here willingly, choosing to shield that aspect of yourself.

Your question about, why is it that people feel unworthy, the whole system is set up in order to reinforce that point. And why would you do such a thing? Why would you shield yourself from that place that you call home? It is to engender that experience of separation, isolation, from who you really are, so that you may find your way home.

This is the challenge you set in front of yourself, that you choose to undertake willingly. It is true that one does not fully appreciate what one has until one removes that from their experience. You then miss It. You long for it. You yearn to return to that state. That is the crux of what human existence in this particular dimension is all about.

Yes, many of you are here to help others find their way, but that, again, means that you must, according to the rules of the game, find your own way first, so that you may lead others.

All of those experiences of difficulty, of chaos, of trauma are all meant to reinforce the idea that you are, in fact, alone, that you are, in fact, separated away from your true source, from your true state of being, and this then causes you to feel unworthy. You question why? Why would I think that I should return home? I have experienced too many instances where I have not behaved in a way that I believe is worthy of heaven, of that home.

This could not be further from the truth! These are all just experiences you choose to have. Whether you feel unworthy is simply a mental construct that you are overlaying.

This sense of guilt and self-blame is just that — it is coming from yourself. There’s no one in heaven [who] is thinking that, that is holding you to account for something you may have thought, something you may have done. We all understand the extreme difficulty of going through the experience that you have chosen for yourself. It is very difficult. It is a very difficult school to teach you how to find your way home amidst all of that chaos with so many barriers put up in your way

Humfire on Finding Peace All Around You

Rob: I guess it’s time to reconnect with [my primary guide] Humfire (whom I call Himphries). I’m seeing myself with him, just sitting on horseback, overlooking the Great Plains from up on a hill. [We’re] just sitting, looking at the landscape.

Okay, Humphries, this is beautiful. What have you got to share today?

Humphries: Hello, Rob. It is great to be with you again … although, as you know, there is never a time that we are not with you.

I brought you to this place, here in nature, in the sunshine, to remind you that there is peace all around you. It’s not hard to find. Everything in every moment can be peaceful if you look for it, if you put yourself in that state of receiving. In fact, it might do you well today, this weekend, just to go find some secluded place to sit in nature, not with any agenda, not with any thought of accomplishing anything other than simply to admire the beauty.

This is all that’s required in life, to just be, to just admire what is all around you, to be grateful for simply being here. Life is a miracle. Be grateful for that, for the opportunity to participate.

And the thing is, as you slow down and start to appreciate just being here, then the circumstances of your life become far simpler. Everything slows down. And then, [as] you go through life, the circumstances of your life present themselves with ease and grace, and you find the challenges are far less challenging. They’re just minor blips on the screen, as it were.

And yes, you are thinking that once in that state, to project that out, to beam your peace, your light, to all others. That is ALL that is required. The grand plan is nothing more than allowing each one of you to reconnect with who you are.

Find that light within yourself, and then it will naturally flow out of you. You will project that sense of peace to all others around you.

The events of the world may seem chaotic, but that is simply a reflection of people not understanding who they are and why they are here. But they will come around. As they see each one of you getting in touch with who you are, finding your own light, being that lighthouse, they will see that. They will feel that, and that will, in some sense, give them permission that they, too, can do the same.

(Higher Self) Sam-u-el on Interacting With Energy (and Manifesting) in the Physical

Rob: Sam-u-el, as you know, I’ve been trying to find a way, a technique, a thought process, anything, that would help me physically move something with my mind. I’ve asked several times for different suggestions, so do you have any guidance to share?

Sam-u-el: Greetings again, Rob. Yes, you have asked about this several times, which is fine. There’s no issue here. It is understandable. What you are seeking to do is not intuitively obvious of how one does this. In general, you know the process. But I would stress up front, it really is about belief, setting aside 100% ALL doubts. ANY sense that this may not work or that you’re not able to is going to manifest just that.

This requires a complete commitment on your part to believe without doubt that you are one with whatever object it is that you are focusing on. We have given you the guidance before that it is not a visualization problem, but more so related to your focus. And I would suggest that focus is really about the belief.

You keep searching for how to do it, a particular technique that will work. It is not unlike learning to channel. It is simply finding a way that is comfortable to you, that makes sense to your mind. Your breakthrough in channeling came from simply inviting whoever it is that you are choosing to channel to come sit with you, to just have a conversation, to be that familiar that you could just sit down and have a conversation, irrespective of who it is that you are choosing to channel.

So as an analogy, the same can be said for interacting with some other, seemingly physical object. You understand everything that you see is simply energy. It is simply finding a way that makes your mind comfortable that the energy within you is no different than the energy within the object, and therefore you are one.

This isn’t a trick. It is simply reality. It is the truth. You are all one. All within the creation of God is one energy.

So it is coming to the complete understanding and ACCEPTANCE of that fact, and then visualizing what it is that you hope to happen. If it’s spinning a piece of paper, then visualize that, but KNOW that that WILL happen, that it has already happened. And feel the excitement, the elation, the gratitude that will come with the success of seeing that piece of paper move.

We understand this is a small step, and that’s reasonable. The bigger question that you’re asking, and using this piece of paper as a means to show you that, is, how do you feel at one with all that you see. The answer is no different. So yes, it is perfectly valid to start with the piece of paper, to teach yourself the reality of the oneness of all energy.

Lao Tzu on How To Be a Dispassionate, but Compassionate, Observer

Rob: Welcome Lao Tzu. My question is, how do we reconcile this idea of not getting wrapped up in external events, almost to the point of not caring. But it’s not really not caring. Of course we care. So how do we care without caring?

Lao Tzu: Greetings, all. It is my honor to be with you today, in this setting, within your circle, as you contemplate the deeper experiences of life, the meaning behind all that you experience. These are questions that everyone must grapple with at some point in their journey. So of course, all of us are so proud of the progress you are all making.

It is an interesting question, is it not? How do you go through life, filled with compassion for others, while at the same time recognizing it’s not your role to be involved in all that others are experiencing for themselves. And I would suggest to you that it is, in fact, an act of very deep caring [and] compassion to allow others to experience what they came to experience.

It may not be your path. You may look upon the events as something you would never choose for ANY society that would experience love and ask yourself, “Why would you do that?! How does that make the world a better place?”

But it is all for a purpose, so your act of compassion is to allow others to experience what they came to experience. Let them choose for themselves. If you go through life trying to control how others behave, how others think, what others believe, where is the caring in that? That would be you trying to impose your will on another. That’s not exhibiting a care for them. That’s, again, you trying to exert your control based on YOUR beliefs, based on your understanding within your own journey. They have theirs; you have yours, so allow them to be.

As your teammate said, let it be, not in an uncaring way, but with the mindset that you care enough for them to let them be who they are. Approach all events that occur to you in your life from that perspective. THAT is the loving response.

The only force in the universe that truly matters is love. Ask yourself every day, what is the loving response to anything that you see? If it does not feel like love, whatever it is that you witness, and you say to yourself, “I don’t see the love in that,” then choose, choose that that is NOT the way that you want to go.

And as you constantly come back, within your own heart, to that feeling of love for ALL that you see, exhibiting that caring enough to allow it to unfold as it must, then you will find that all that you see will change. It will morph. It will transition … perhaps slower than you would desire, but again, let it be. Let it proceed at the pace that it needs to proceed to bring as many along as the Divine Plan calls for.
