Hope

Dearly Beloved,

     In the stillness of the night it is possible to create wonders beyond the imagination of the day. There is a softness here; a softness in an all enveloping space of darkness, so reminiscent of the womb, and in this space that you may well be waking up in the early hours of the morning, this is a fertile time. It is God time. Don’t go back to sleep!
    In such a space as this, you can turn inward, and come to a place of great silence and ask the questions that need to be asked in the stillness of the night. Those big questions of life; Who am I? Where is the world going? Is there any point? Do I have a plan? Why do I feel so alone? And in the silence, the answers will come.
     During this time of great change, we have time to reflect on our quality of life and whether it is what we truly desire. We know that the structures that are outdated are falling apart and the Old World is dying as the new is being born. It seems that so many people are sensing in their own way, not necessarily consciously, this powerful shift and are feeling alone, scared and helpless. There are those that may see that their own lives may be at stake, but that is not the source of the helplessness. Their hearts go out to the loss of others, particularly the ways in which the children suffer, the way in which they see in their world that others will struggle.
     Where you can help here is with that sense of love, that sense of forgiveness, the opportunity to say to those people, it is hopeless so far as the systems that have been in place, but those ways of being that do not rely on the old, those ways of being that can be simply in your heart, these are available to you. If you feel my love, if you sense my caring, you will see that you are not alone, that those energies are with you, loving you. If you will but receive some of that, you will find that it will not only be easier, but there will be opportunities, thoughts you didn’t think possible, possibilities you had ignored and areas that can be explored that can be delightful.
     The way through this does not come entirely by such words of course. It is the feeling in your heart. When everything in the world points one way, you have all the strength to point the other way. When one little thing in the world says that this area is falling apart, your energy can be there as a little encouragement to say, here is the opportunity for something greater. This is not just an intellectual exercise, a thinking exercise, but it is in your heart and you can extend your heart’s love to anyone and everyone. You can touch them and share with them the hope that you hold within.
     You will find during the months to come, that events follow a cycle and will move to a place where things get quite desperate and then various situations will occur to patch them up as best as possible and they will then run a little more smoothly. It will seem as though the worst has passed, only to recognise that it was just a patch job and things then break down again and become a little worse than they ever were before. That cyclic energy continues. It is a continuing cycle that is now moving faster than before. But don’t allow yourself to be fooled and believe that all the problems are over. That God, the governments, the energies, have fixed it all and we don’t have to worry anymore.
     What happens is that part of the cycle is actually the sowing of the seed through which the cycle continues and things break down. So you will see that this does not mean that you’re only there for sending your loving, positive uplifting energy in times of crisis or the times of desperation when people seem to need it most, but in those times when things are being patched up and things seem to be getting better.
     You are also sending an energy which says do not take your strength, your survival, your sustenance, your joy from this illusion from this patching up, see rather that you are loved, and that the core of it is in you and not outside of you and in those moments when you have a little breathing space, connect to others, share the energy that is possible through love, through caring, through healing. In other words you don’t see those moments in which those energies are patched up as the times you can go on holiday and take a break. But rather, use that energy in a different way, a way to reach out, to connect, to work in ways you had not done before. Some breathing space is important; you must have this at every stage, but the way to find that is not by the cycles in the world. It is always from within, knowing that you can breathe no matter what, that it is your own survival, you own awakening, your own consciousness, your own being. You are loved and this has nothing to do with the outside events. That inner world, that reality gives you more breathing space than anything that is affected from the outside.
    During this time of great change, many are saying ‘Enough’. We have had enough of this way of living. This way of living has no meaning to us and we wish to come out of the city, the pollution, the noise and the violence to the green of the countryside. To buy a small piece of land and to build a dwelling, something you can call our own, somewhere where you are not invaded but where you can do as you wish with the land to support yourself and your children and your grandchildren. To bring the family home together, not scattered to the winds as so many families are, so the children will know their grandparents and perhaps their great grandparents. So there is no separation anymore in the family.
    How easy it is in this world to buy into the illusion of the imagery of those who hold the power. How easy is it to go along with everyone else on a roller coaster that isn’t even real. It takes a little courage to stop. It takes a little more courage to take action, but you have always had courage. You are still here on this planet after millenniums. You have all the courage you need.
     My friend Anastasia says it so simply, and I quote at the end from one of her books, “The imagery of this world is held by so few, so few, yet its strength has been enormous, and until you, yes you, become conscious of what is real, become conscious of what is going on in your world, it will continue.” I ask you then to consider this, what if you have an image of what you would like to put into the world? An image of goodness, kindness and compassion, of no separation between people, of peace and not war, but of companionship and yes, love. What if your image was so powerful that you lived it every single day? You become the image and you become the inspiration for transformation for so many. For is that not why you came? Is that not your soul’s plan? It is you who has come to make the difference.”
     “Will you just allow yourself to breathe with me for a moment consciously? To drop the breath down so you can breathe your heart consciously. This expands the heart and the warmth within it. It feels wonderful. It makes you feel so alive and full of vitality and joy. And as you breath your heart, let go, and relax. Come from the state of doing to the state of being; nothing to do just breathe with your heart. Simply breathe.
     And then you can start to create a Pulse. A Pulse where you breathe in you gather your energy, and when you breathe out through the heart, you let it go. As you breathe in you gather yourself, and when you breathe out creating a circle of energy around you, the intention you wish to give the world, flows out to all hearts everywhere.
     And this pulse is the Pulse of Love, of kindness, compassion and of utmost joy, for the more you create this pulse, the more you will feel all of these things in abundance. And if you do this during your day, you are sending something so precious to all the brothers and sisters, there is no measure to it, no measure at all. You make your intention clear, for as you breathe love to a Planet that love returns to you; it collects all that is like itself. And as you breathe again, the increased love goes out and more love returns to you a thousand fold.
     It is also important to understand the Law of Attraction and the Law of Intention during this turbulent time. So if you are in a state of what you perceive to be lack, and you keep saying that you are in lack, then this is heard and responded to by Father/Mother God who gives you more of what you ask for. ‘I do not have enough money.’ ‘I do not have enough resources.’ If that is your theme, you will receive more of the same. This is truth, for the Source of your Being will respond to your every thought. If you make this statement of intention: I am abundant, this world is abundant, my abundance is now, my abundance is on its way, this is what the Father/Mother God can hear and will say yes, it is! These simplistic statements can change your life.
   To know that your Creator will give you anything you ask for and withhold nothing, to know deep in your heart that this is so, you will begin to change your thoughts of not putting your attention on what is not there, to putting your attention on what is desired to be there. The Law of Attraction and the Law of Intention has never been more vital than at this turbulent time. This is something you can practice each day. I love the phrase ‘It’s on its way’!
     Above all you have Hope. That expectation of something better and your heart’s desires becoming manifest. Hope is not something that someone else has, it is something deep within yourself. Hope is who you are. It is a spark of light like a candle in a dark room that fills the space. It is a feeling of aliveness not quite in its fullness as yet but growing. And it is this spark inside you of light and aliveness that you call Hope. For when you have no Hope, everything stops. Everything becomes inert and immovable. So nurture the spark of Hope, nurture the aliveness of it so it grows. And the next person that says I can’t or I won’t or I couldn’t, very kindly talk to them about the hope that you hold within yourself. That trusting expectation of a New World.
     Remember that the spark of light never dies. All over our Beloved Planet are sparks of light, and these are the Brothers and Sisters who can be likened to a myriad of stars, as if reflecting the stars above in their brilliance. These are the ones who are beginning such things as we describe to you now, of holding fast to the Vision of a New World that they are building in their own hearts. And every day there are more and more just like you.
    We can also reverse our negative thinking and learn not to believe our negative thoughts. Believing our negative thoughts causes such suffering and this can all be changed. It is easy to do as the positive, loving, creative, beautiful inspiring thoughts are waiting to come in. Even if you cry in the darkness of the night out of pure despair remember Hope is strong inside you.
     Everything is waiting. The Universe is waiting for you to become the cocreator once more and dream the dream that is in your heart. To remind you to stand up, as you promised you would from the beginning, for yourself, for your family, for your community, for your nation and for this so Beloved Planet, and to know that is was all worthwhile. You will realize that the support was always there from the guides and helpers and loved ones. And is here now, and will never leave you. And you will finally realize with all your Heart and all your Soul that you are deeply, deeply loved.

‘The song of the voice is sweet,
But the Song of the Heart
Is the pure voice of Heaven.’

May joy be yours now and forever,
Elisis
