5/18/91   SANANDA

Greetings Precious Druthea.  I AM Sananda.  I come in service to Holy God/Aton of Light and to you my brethren.  Thank you for finding your balance, Druthea, and petitioning for clarity on "negative" perceptions that we may share with our brethren.  For within each "human" conscious mind there exists many various perceptions and depending upon the experiences of emotional attachment, ones will attach to themselves various "degrees" of misperception and therefore respond accordingly.

Let us example the giving forth of The Word: The historical, economic, social, political and spiritual truths.  Every single one of you who first reads of the devastating manifested illusion which now exists upon your plane respond in a multitude of different ways, depending upon the level of your spiritual awareness and maturity.  When you are told, for example, that you ones in the United States of America are rapidly losing the freedoms which were guaranteed under your Constitution and Bill of Rights, many of you become afraid, mostly because you have taken the freedoms you have had for granted and few of you have any historical political and/or social-economic knowledge and experience.  That which you do have is, as you are finding as you continue to read "The Phoenix Journals" , quite limited in truth of the circumstances.  Mostly you ones have concerned yourselves with survival needs, succeeding in your chosen profession, raising families and enjoying your lives through various forms of entertainment as you are able.  When your pursuit of the so-called "American Dream" or whatever "dream" you have which requires "freedom" to realize, is threatened, such as by the truth that the economic system is collapsing and you may lose your once-secure job, many of you feel extremely frightened especially because you feel helpless. The adversary would like you to feel helpless and fearful because often you will become paralyzed by this and refuse to take any action whatsoever, even for your own security and protection.  Many will simply try to glue those rose-colored glasses tightly around their eyes, that their world can return (they hope) to the innocence which they once enjoyed.  I will venture to say, chelas, that once the stirring of your Spirit within has been accomplished, YOU will never return to your original ignorant state.  Your conscience will not allow you to.

Now, many ones of you consider yourselves to be most spiritually attuned especially if you have expanded your awareness beyond the limiting doctrines of your various religious institutions.  Many of you have accomplished much of your spiritual progress through what is often called the "New Age" movement and "Metaphysics".  What I would like you ones to please understand carefully is that the adversary has worked just as diligently within the human leaders of the "New Age" philosophies and doctrines in order to deceive and mislead your spiritual understanding, as well as also working through your Fundamental Religious Institutions to accomplish its deception.  Because all of you have various degrees of spiritual innocence and gullibility, the aspects of truth about "personal responsibility" and the nature of evil and goodness, God and Adversary, are often twisted and turned about, so that you searchers of spiritual freedom and truth continue to be bound by the adversary through a more subtle deception and purposeful misinterpretation of the Cosmic Spiritual Laws.

For example, what do the terms "negative" and "positive" mean to you?  Let us first define negative: " 1. Characterized by or expressing negation, denial, or refusal.  2. Not positive or affirmative: a negative attitude.  3. The side that denies or contradicts what the other side affirms, as in a debate.  Now we will define positive:  1. That is or may be directly affirmed; actual.  2. Characterized by or expressing affirmation; a positive attitude.  3. Openly and plainly expressed: a positive denial.  4. Not admitting of doubt and denial.

So the defining of terms often helps assist the understanding of the meaning of your own often used expressions.  Most of you when you are given information about your world circumstances, for example, as laid forth in "The Phoenix Journals" , will respond in some way.  If the information is frightening to you or causes you to feel "badly" or threatens your "belief" system in some way then most often you ones will say that it is negative.  By calling it negative, you are thereby expressing denial and refusal to accept the information.  In this way do you also refuse responsibility to investigate further and DO something to change the circumstance.  I will say that the information SHARED within "The Phoenix Journals" is actually quite positive in that it is OPENLY AND PLAINLY EXPRESSED: POSITIVE TRUTH!  Now in order to find balance with EVERY circumstance and EVERY bit of information you are given, you must ASK the Spirit WITHIN you what this circumstance and/or information is showing you.  WHAT IS THE LESSON HERE WHICH YOU HAVE ASKED FOR?  You will find that, finally having and knowing the truth, when you recognize it as such, to actually be most liberating to you spiritually because you will have recognized the enemy, and it is YOU.  So then, with your newly discovered personal power and responsibility you will demand the Spirit of God within you to show you YOUR opportunity to serve God and The Creation, and therefore change what you find to be unacceptable/circumstances.  And then YOU will KNOW YOU CAN create a more balanced circumstance.

Now here is a little test for you.  Think of a profoundly "negative" circumstance in your perception.  What emotions do you feel, for example, if you lost your job, or your home burned to the ground.  Fear?  Loss? Anger?  Helplessness?  Is the "loss" outside of you?  Do you ask yourself, WHY ME?  And do you feel VICTIMIZED by something OUTSIDE OF YOU?  Now think of a profoundly "positive" circumstance in your perception, such as the birth of a new babe or getting married.  How does simply thinking about this circumstance make you feel?  Love, Joy, fulfillment, Peace?  Do you know that YOU choose how you will respond in every circumstance and situation put before you?  Inner Peace and Joy are yours and you will experience them more and more as you take personal responsibility and sincerely work to create BALANCED circumstances and correct UNBALANCED circumstances with the INNER GUIDANCE OF YOUR SPIRIT.

Now when you receive information, such as that produced within "The Phoenix Journals" and you respond with FEAR in your heart, then what action does this response demand from you?  What do you want to do?  Denounce the speaker who presents it?  Turn off the flow of any further investigation of the information?

I will suggest that whenever you respond with FEAR when presented with information, that Spirit within you is showing you something which YOU need to deal with.  Truth within registers it and the "altered" ego chooses to become fearful, because its belief/security structure is feeling threatened.  If you will simply see the emotion of fear as a warning of real or imagined danger and/or an illusionary block to the opportunity of expanding your knowledge of truth, discernment and inner understanding, you will be able to rise above the fear and take the necessary action to KNOW THE TRUTH AND RESPOND TO THE CALL WITHIN TO TAKE RESPONSIBLE ACTION.

Now for you ones who call yourselves skeptics, defined as:  "1. One who doubts, disbelieves, or disagrees with generally accepted ideas.  2. One who questions the doctrines of a religion.  Skeptical: Doubting, questioning; disbelieving.  Skepticism:  1. A doubting or disbelieving attitude.  2. Philos.  The doctrine that absolute knowledge is unattainable."

Now there is nothing wrong with questioning that information which you are given in order to find truth.  But ones who call themselves skeptical or a skeptic most often hide behind this term so that they can remain on the fence of indecision about a particular matter and therefore not take action or responsibility.  By the very definition of skepticism, these ones hold a doctrine/belief that absolute knowledge is unattainable FOR THEM (or anyone else for that matter), and as long as they continue to sit upon the fence of skepticism, they certainly will continue to find themselves unable to absolutely find the truth.  One who holds tightly to his skepticism is often most fearful and so appears most self-righteous and arrogant about his beliefs, such as his erroneous belief that, if HE doesn't know Truth then neither can anyone else.

So for you chelas who are sincerely seeking life spiritual truths, you will continue to learn about discernment of all information presented to your attention.  Often you will feel skeptical about and therefore, doubt and question a new idea, thought or bit of information which is given to you.  That is perfectly healthy, just don't STOP there.  Ask The Father WITHIN to please show you the Truth and guide you to that which will allow Truth to unfold for you.  Then wait upon Spirit to unfold the Truth in the BEST way for you to understand it clearly.  This means TRUSTING your inner guidance to unfold all you need in the correct time-frame for you.  So then PATIENCE is necessary as well.  Simply because you will feel less stressful if you can trust GOD within to GIVE YOU ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW TO CONTINUE TO GAIN SPIRITUAL WISDOM AND PERFECTION.

Every circumstance you give your attention to is a lesson, perhaps of discernment of Truth or conquering paralyzing fear or even rising beyond skeptical indecision.  And more than it being a lesson, every circumstance you give your attention to is also AN OPPORTUNITY for improving on or "sharpening" your spiritual wisdom and perfection.

You see, precious chelas, as you sharpen and perfect your spiritual knowledge, your foundation becomes more solid than any man-made structure or material, because your foundation is aligned with the wisdom of knowledge of TRUTH of your IMMORTAL DIVINITY, COSMIC LAWS AND ONENESS WITH GOD AND THE CREATION.  NOTHING of physical illusion will be able to tear down your foundation which is built on Truth and spiritual wisdom. This, alas, was my final "initiation" upon your plane less than some 2000 years past.  I, Sananda, had to pass the final test of spiritual fortitude as a human upon your place.  I knew I had to experience the denial of MINESELF AND MINE FATHER WITHIN by you of my brethren and still rise above the human "altered ego" limitations of fear, frustration and pain.  Mine crucifixion was mine final TEST of Spiritual commitment to MINE FATHER WITHIN ME; I THEN ATTAINED a higher level of spiritual mastership of which I continued to develop and perfect after my actual physical departure from Shan, which did NOT occur at crucifixion, but many years later as you have read in "And They Called His Name Immanuel: I Am Sananda".  And, of course, the crucifixion of mineself offered MANY lessons to you of my brethren who either witnessed physically, or otherwise, not the least lesson which was totally purposely misinterpreted, and that is THE IMMORTALITY OF THE SPIRIT OR SOUL WITHIN.  I then continued my spiritual mastership training in the higher realms of GOD/ATON and have reached mine inherited perfected spiritual state of SANANDA, ONE WITH GOD.  I am assisting and monitoring you of mine brothers and sisters who receive and give forth MINE FATHER'S WORD.  I am available and accessible, though not yet in physical form, so that I may bring the spiritual foundation and balance along with the other Heavenly Hosts of God, so that you of my brethren, who so choose, can awaken and remember TRUTH, and receive earned graduation to "higher" realms in God's Kingdoms.  I am come as MINE FATHER GOD/ATON'S representative, to claim you of His Faithful and True children of Light...and bring you HOME.

Now let us clarify more on "negative" perceptions.  When George and Desiree' Green speak before you and they describe the historical, political, socioeconomic and spiritual circumstances in Truth, see this as POSITIVE in that you are now given the opportunity through your Spirit Within TO KNOW TRUTH AND TO TAKE ACTION TO BRING ABOUT NECESSARY CHANGE TO BRING BACK BALANCE.  Chelas, information is information. The merit of it is its truth as it relates to your global and spiritual growth and discernment.  Your Spirit Within is seeking BALANCE and it will continually show the UNBALANCE that you may choose to HEAL it WITHIN and WITHOUT.  This is your measure of responsible spiritual maturity...your ability to absorb Truth and knowledge and become empowered and responsible for creating BALANCED alignment with GOD and The Creation.

Remember chelas, YOU all share the pool of mass consciousness upon this plane; you contribute to the DIS-ease as well as to the LIGHT...it is your choice.  You can remain IGNORANT and IRRESPONSIBLE, but you will still suffer the consequences of your ill-thinking and acting behavior.  You see, you contribute to the unbalance either directly and knowingly if you align yourself with the destructive adversary, or you contribute to the unbalance indirectly through your ignorance of spiritual and global truth.  It is most especially your ignorance of the consequences of your unbalanced "thinking" and doing, and of the Cosmic Laws which has nearly devastated your planet and your species.

So the terms "negative" and "positive" are "New Age" terms and the adversary has encouraged you ones to align all circumstances in either category.  Remember the definitions above; these terms do not fit and they cause you to turn from responsibility of a given circumstance because it is identified by you as "negative".  YOU CREATE ALL CIRCUMSTANCES, YOUR SPIRIT IS ALWAYS SHOWING YOU SOMETHING you need to know.  YOU DECIDE HOW YOU WILL RESPOND IN EVERY CIRCUMSTANCE PUT BEFORE YOU.  First you will need to recognize unbalance when it is presented to you.  Then you will need to further investigate for yourself, with the assistance of your Spirit Within, until you are satisfied with the Truth.  Then you will ask God Within to show you how to bring back balance to your portion of the mass consciousness "pie".  Then you will do what God within guides you to do.

Here is something for you to think about.  That which is "positive" to the adversary...ie: causing confusion and deception is considered quite "negative" to a child of Light.  That which is "negative" to the adversary, ie: being exposed as a liar and deceiver, is considered quite "positive" to a child of Light.  So you see, those terms are quite relative to the situation encountered and the perceptions retained by opposing personalities.

The absolute surest way, chelas, to compound the problems you face, and therefore create ever more devastating consequences to yourself and your planet, is to be led to (by your Spirit Within) and exposed to THE TRUTH about the circumstances already created, and THEN still doing absolutely NOTHING to change them to bring back balance.  So it is the better part of wisdom to HEAR the call of SPIRIT and learn to LISTEN to and accurately decipher your guidance given.  All it takes is YOUR COMMITMENT TO SERVE GOD'S WILL and you will be given all you need on your wondrous journey.  So be it.

Thank you for your attention.  May clarity and understanding be yours that your spiritual foundation may become solid in TRUTH AND WISDOM.  I AM Sananda.  Thank you little sister, Druthea.  Go forth and find your confirmations that they bring you peace and balance in your service to GOD/ATON.  Know that I LOVE YOU ALL SO GREATLY for you each are a part of ME as I AM a part of YOU.  Walk in God's Light of Truth and KNOW therein you always find Peace.  Salu.
