Ascended Masters and Channeling pt. 1 · Esoteric Empyre

Here we will speak about Ascended Masters and Channeling. An ascended master is essentially a true teacher who has left the Earth plane, and gone on to the next plane – a paradise where all who dwell there have achieved the same consciousness of Unselfish Love, Light, and Oneness. Because of their release from the consciousness limitations of the physical plane, they do have greater consciousness.  […]

From the point of Light within the Mind of God
Let light stream forth into the minds of men.
Let Light descend on Earth.

From the point of Love within the Heart of God
Let love stream forth into the hearts of men.
May Christ* return to Earth.

From the centre where the Will of God is known
Let purpose guide the little wills of men –
The purpose which the Masters know and serve.

From the centre which we call the race of men
Let the Plan of Love and Light work out
And may it seal the door where evil dwells.

Let Light and Love and Power restore the Plan on Earth.

 

Aloha Meditation Moments …

We spend our childhoods writing our dreams in diaries. As adults, those dreams quietly come true every single day … only sometimes we forget to notice, until it’s too late. So, slow down … and take it in. Let yourself feel it. Because sometimes, even the most beautiful dreams disappear when the sun comes up.

New opportunities open us up to greater possibilities. New information and a new perspective can permanently shift our consciousness … and the way we see the world will never be the same.

All day, every day, we fight against the current. Sometimes, we lose. Sometimes, we win. Sometimes, the current carries us exactly where we need to go … and sometimes, it slams us right into the rocks.

We define ourselves by our actions. But, it doesn’t mean we have to live by that definition. We can change our own story. We can refuse to accept the way people define us. We can work like hell to escape a bad reputation … only to wonder if we succeeded. It can be hard to shake the mistakes of the past. They’ll always come back to haunt us. But, one thing we never do: we don’t stop. We don’t quit. We get up and rejoin the fight.

 

Contemplations …

∞ “What I say is not to take anything away from anyone’s personal or organized belief systems. In fact, I say go ahead and enjoy your beliefs as far as you wish to take them. My only intention is to offer alternate paths to wander and ponder. Did you ever wonder why some beliefs work for some and not for others? Astrology, numerology, tarot cards, crystals, palm reading, religions/superstitions, and so on, are all fun, wonderful, playful Ideas or Symbols that some have created in this Reality to help, in some way, comprehend their connection to Source. Obviously, there are thousands and thousands of beliefs to choose from. In fact, if you picked up a pebble off the ground and Believed strongly enough that it had the power to Affect your path in life…IT WOULD. This is the True Power of our Minds. This is the True Power of Spirit. This is the True Power that we All have. So, CHOOSE to believe whatever you like. If it works for you, keep believing it. Have fun. If, however, your present belief system is Not working for you or you have some doubts, KNOW that you can change it at any time in any way, without any fear or punishment. My suggestion is Always to keep it simple. Believe in Yourself. Know that you are ONE with Creation. Know that the Power is Within You. Experience Infinite Possibilities. Look Beyond your Limited Belief Systems.” ∞

Dense tropical vegetation frames this view of Rainbow Falls, an 80-foot waterfall near Hilo, Hawaii. Legends say that the cave beneath the waterfall was the home of Hina, mother of the demigod Maui.
