Retreat

Loved ones, the word retreat has more than one definition. To some, it means moving backward in the face of an overwhelming obstacle or perceived enemy. For others, retreat is merely finding a place of safety and solace in order to recharge enough to move forward again.

In this colder, often snowy time of year (for you northern hemisphere folks!) it is appropriate and necessary to take some time to find a place of quiet solitude and just BE. As tempting as it is to go to every party and join the throngs at the shopping malls, it is imperative that you spend some time in quiet retreat. You don’t have to be a hermit—just allow yourself the time and space to sink into yourself, revel in where you’ve been and marvel at what is in store for you, even if you don’t know what that is yet!

While this time of year (in “Christian” nations, anyway) is supposed to be all about me, me, me, I want it to be more about you, you, you!  Why? Well, for one thing, you are living on this planet in the here and now. You are the one having to go through your life and your life’s lessons. My life and my lessons, at least on Earth, are done. While I am still evolving and growing on this side of the veil, you, my dears, are in the trenches on your side of the veil. And it’s tougher where you are! It’s harder and more exhausting. And that’s why I want you to treat  yourself to a re-treat!

Take some time for you. Do something that renews your spirit and revitalizes your soul. Be a little bit selfish—it’s OK. It’s what I want you to do.

I want you to love yourself enough that the next month or so won’t just be about holiday frenzy. I want you to find that still, quiet place that is your wellspring of divine love and guidance. I don’t care if it’s a walk in nature, an hour in a quiet church, or a cup of hot cocoa on your couch. Give yourself the gift of sanity and peace this year. Continue that practice on into the next. Ask me for help if needed. 

But just be. Be the loving, kind, expansive spirit that you are. Let yourself breathe in the joy surrounding you. Let yourself retreat in order to emerge stronger, happier, and at peace.

Do this for yourself, with my blessing.

And know that I love you always,

Jesus

Enter

You are entering a new phase of existence for humanity, one of greater knowledge, expansion, foresight, and hindsight. When you look around you now, do you see more kindness, understanding, and compassion? Do you see how far you have come?

This is where the hindsight comes in. Look back, my dears, to the way things were not all that long ago. While there are still places struggling with harshness and cruelty in daily life, there are many places now that would be appalled at the way things were done, not just two hundred years ago, but even fifty or sixty years ago. 

Let me ask you, would your particular community put up with killing someone just because their skin wasn’t the same color? I know that some of you believe that this is still happening, just not as blatantly. That people of color are not treated as justly by your legal system, that being poor or ethnic is a detriment somehow. And that may well be the case. But you have to admit that, in America at least, darker-skinned people are no longer asked to go to the back of the bus or to drink at separate water fountains. As far as I know, lynching is no longer sanctioned.

And look at the way you raise your children. What would have been considered normal parenting a few generations ago would be considered child abuse now.

So read your history. See how ordinary people were treated. Then, look at now. Have the French guillotined anybody lately? Has anyone in the developed countries been afraid that they will be thrown into debtor’s prison? Do ordinary people live in fear that they will be tarred, feathered, and run out of town on a rail?

No. For many people in many places, things have evolved beyond the ghastly way they used to be. Does that mean that all terror and strife are gone from the world? No, of course not.

What I mean to show you by saying you are entering a new phase, a new way of being, is to draw your attention to where you, as a people, have been as well as pointing the way to your future. As each person accepts that love is the way, kindness is normal, joy is a given, then each of you adds to the global change that we all hope to see. 

Dismiss all of the fear-based 2012 nonsense. It is not the end of anything, rather the beginning of the new energy, the new way of being, the new you. Step into that energy with joy and gratitude, my dears, for you are entering an era that has not before been on your planet. You are the vanguard of the new purpose and light on your earth. You get to lead the charge into the new energy of peace, love, and joy.

Enter boldly. Enter with joy and enthusiasm. 

And know that I’m right beside you,

Jesus

Eclipse

An eclipse, astronomically, is when one planet gets in the path of light from the sun and blocks that light from another planet. On earth, a solar eclipse in when the moon blocks the light of the sun from certain areas on earth, and a lunar eclipse is when the earth blocks the light of the sun from reaching the moon. 

On a non-astronomy level, you can use the word eclipse to denote when someone seems to “outshine” someone else. Their efforts eclipse that of another. 

If you dig deeper into the meaning of the word eclipse, you discover that the original meaning was to abandon, to be left out, or fail. What does that have to do with you right now, on this planet, at this particular moment?

I want you to ask yourself, “How am I letting my light shine? Or am I? How am I letting someone else eclipse me, block my light, take all for themselves? Or am I the one doing the blocking, the eclipsing? And if so, why? Why does one person feel the need to suck up all of the light and joy, leaving others abandoned to the darkness? Do I feel that in order for me to experience light, someone else must be left in the dark?”

I want you to ask these questions, my dears, because as you head toward a new era of light and understanding, many of you will feel fear. Fear that you won’t receive the light, fear that the light will be too strong, fear that you don’t deserve the light and joy. As we step into the new energy coming onto the planet, you will be called upon to step into the light, and graciously point it out to others.

So many people revel in being in fear, having their light blocked, being the victim of circumstance. But as you step into this new energy of love and light, it will be harder to hold on to the fear, doubt, and angst that has been as comfortable to some of you as a teddy bear is to a small child. It is known. It feels normal.

But it won’t anymore. Hiding in fear, cowering in darkness, and blocking the light will now longer feel normal or comfortable. It will feel odd and disorienting. And, as you transition into the new energy of 2012, it will be time for you to step fully into the light of who you are, what you are here for, and where you want to go. It will feel hideous not to do so. 

No more eclipsing yourself or others. No more hiding your light. No more pretending that you are not the grand spiritual being that you know you are! While your planetary eclipses will continue, your spiritual and emotional eclipsing will not. It is beyond time for everyone to embrace the light as your due, soak it in, and pass it on.

Live in the light, my dears. No more eclipses for you!

And, know that I love you always,

Jesus
