Master Lanto ~ Wisdom and Understanding
Working with Master Lanto: I had not heard of Lanto until he came to me when I requested a master for the next master to write about in my book. I was thrilled to do a little online research and verify who this energy was and thought he was a perfect addition to the group.
When I learned that he replaced Master Kuthumi in 1958 as the Ascended Master of the 2nd Ray of wisdom, illumination and knowledge, it made sense to me as I am also here working under the 2nd ray. He appeared to me as a very noble Chinese gentleman as his last human lifetime was as the Duke of Chou around 400BC and credited with the I-ching and the inspiration for Confucianism.
His wisdom and style of teaching is tempered with great honour and respect and it is a pleasure to work with him as a teacher and a guide. He offered me tea and reminded me that there are many wonderful herbal medicines in teas and that we should use them more to find balance for our bodies.
Take a week or two, especially the teachers, and invite Master Lanto to be a part of your experience. I have really enjoyed working with him and writing with him overlighting my work and will do so more often. He shares great love and creates a feeling that you can do it, no matter what and that it is always a choice in what we feel, think and see.
Wisdom and Understanding
Within you lies a flame of inner wisdom that once ignited, will grow and glow in your heart for your entire lifetime. Take the time to ignite this Three Fold Flame of love, wisdom and power as you seek greater spiritual understanding, for now is the time of the awakening of the path to the one. This flame is powerful and will bring much balance to your world. For so many years now, you have lived in the energy of polarity and opposites and it is time now to find the center.
Let that golden hue within you be the balance for your wisdom and your power. Use this balancer as your guide in all that you say and do and you will notice profound changes taking place within you. Spend time each day and night connecting with this flame, work with the flame and nourish it.
Ask your guides and angels’ questions while working with this flame and you will begin to understand more than you thought possible. There are different levels of initiation and wisdom that those of us on this side are constantly working through and to as we are in service to humanity. When you call upon our lights and allow us to be in service, you are helping us fulfill our mission. It is no different on your side of the veil.
Each time you work with this flame it becomes stronger. Take a deep breathe right now and close your eyes, envision this beautiful flame within you burning a golden yellow for wisdom and surrounded by the blue flame of power, will and protection, and the pink flame of love and compassion. Allow this flame to glow and grow, and nurture it often, as this flame will take you to new levels of understanding and growth.
Heal any past beliefs. It is time to transform any of the past spiritual vows you have made with yourself and others, either in this lifetime or any past lifetimes, as this can hold you back from reaching your desired outcomes. It is time to let go and allow yourself some room to grow and explore in ways you did not think possible.
.
Spend some time in meditation daily. It does not have to be long, it is just important that you do it. As you spend time with your angels, guides and higher self, you will find that you experience a more fluid journey filled with many opportunities and much joy. Work on letting your inner light shine to be a beacon of hope for others.
It is important that you connect and work with your higher selves as you are the essence of your higher self that is having a finite experience. You are a particle of your higher self. Since your higher self is you and infinite, and closest to your vibration (as it is you), then connecting and working with this aspect of you can only enhance your experiences. Your higher self is wise and filled with love and compassionate. However remember that your higher self does not live in polarity, does not live in time and space as you do and therefore does not see things as good or bad, it sees the perfection in every experience.
This is sometimes a difficult subject to fully understand when you are living in the energy of the yin and the yang, and so there is an element of trust that sometimes is required while you are learning to see and understand the bigger picture of it all. And so, it is here where we ask you to heal your heart of any past experiences that still weight on your mind.
Affirmation: "As I heal any past spiritual experiences, I become aware of my connection to the Divine Presence within myself and others."
Keep your thoughts positive. Keep your thoughts on seeing and feeling that you will succeed, and know that every step you take is leading you closer to where it is you wish to go. Ask your angels to guide you to the path that is most beneficial for you right now and that it also filled with joy and love along the way. Sometimes you wonder how on earth this could have been the best path you find yourself in and we wish to elevate your understanding that you did not end up there with guidance from your higher self and guides, it was in following your path that has lead you there. And please also understand that are no wrong turns or mistakes are possible. This is when it is so important to have worked on your connections, so you can stop at any time, connect and trust in yourself once again and move forward from there.
Allow yourself to move with ease as you float down the river of life and know that there will be times when that river is moving fast and then there are other times it will slow and flow gently by. Know that you are in this flow and focus on the good in life to keep the currents of positive energy flowing through your being. If negative thoughts should arise, say stop, and cancel them and choose deliberate phrases to get you back on task. Hold those feelings and let them flow through every cell of your being.
Affirmation: "As I keep my attention focused of reaching my desired destination, I trust that each step will be clearly marked upon my path."
Meditation is a vital key. Connecting with your guides and angels and most importantly, your higher self are strengthened through a regular meditation practice. Within each of you is this amazing storehouse of wisdom and knowledge and it is readily available, however you must practice in order to understand and trust that this is so. When you first began to walk, you did not get up and run and be perfect at it right away. You fell and stumbled and finally you made it with a few bumps and bruises along the way. But, you did not give up until you mastered that skill and you still work at it this day. You must practice. It needn’t be for hours, it just needs to be constant. A little patience with yourself might be required, and also knowing that you are worth the little extra time it takes to make this a daily practice for yourself. In time you will see that your life is running much smoother and you see the value in this practice.
As you practice connecting and learn to trust in what you sense and feel, you will find that you can learn supremely important information about life, the universe and all that is. You can experience a heightened awareness and experience some profound insights into knowledge and understanding the mysteries of life, the spirit and the divine. This is what so many of the spiritual aspirants seek and it all lies within you.
Affirmation: "As I regularly connect with my guidance, I have access to the wisdom that I seek."
It is time. Take charge of your life today. You are being asked to step forward and be in your purpose. This means living your life from your truth, following your passion and trusting in yourself. If you are unsure what your purpose is, then it is time to do things that bring joy, excitement, and passion to your journey. Begin by changing the things you can and the rest will fall into place as you move forward. If you are stuck as to what is the next step to take, just take one and trust that there will be another and that it will be more clear and brighter with each step you take. Trust that it is so and it must be.
Take the time to see the love and the beauty that is around you and let that be the center of your focus. Ask your guides and angels to help you see more beauty in the hearts and the minds of the people you come in contact with and to help you see more of it all around you. Let the beauty within you emerge and share your light with others, as that is truly what your purpose is. Keep your Three-fold flame burning deep within you and soon it will be a beacon guiding others to find their path.
Affirmation: "I am ready and willing to step forward and live my life with the integrity of who I truly am and I am empowered to take charge of my life."
It is a great honour for us to be in service and I am doubly thrilled to work with anyone who seeks higher wisdom and understanding. There is great honour in being the teacher and supporting the greater good and we love to help and assist you in any way.
I am Lord Lanto of the 2nd Ray

Transforming Obstacles into Blessings
The energies of the recent lunar eclipse triggered a wave of energy that will extend into coming weeks and months, bringing about clearing and release at all levels. This gateway will also bring renewed opportunities to transform challenges into blessings, emotional barriers into unconditional love and unrealized visions into accelerated manifestations. This portal's potential allows us to turn everything that has held us back into the fuel of self-realization.
Lunar Eclipse Energies and the Clearing of Cellular Trauma
Lunar eclipse energies have the power to bring about healing and clearing at all levels. Foremost in the clearing will be residual emotions lingering from past traumas. These residual emotions derive from past times when a challenge or rite of passage triggered deep emotions we were unable to fully understand and process at the time. When this occurs, the episode and its residual emotions enter into the fabric of our being, spinning out new versions of itself over time to provide us with new opportunities for healing and release.
Releasing Resistance to the Healing Flow
Potent energies touch on all deeply-felt "sacred wounds" in an attempt to help us access new levels of healing and release. If we resist this clearing, we will experience new and increasingly insurmountable obstacles on our path.
If this seems to be happening, there is a simple solution within the moment: slow down, breathe deeply and ask for guidance and assistance. Be willing to examine the situation before you from the perspective of a detached observer. Read the symbols present within the moment to find ways you may be swimming against the tide of the current flow.
By releasing resistance and welcoming the emotional clearing now taking place, you will be able to make the most of the opportunities these energies offer.
Journaling and Dreamwork Bring Clarity to ‘Waking Dreams’
If you aren't certain what is being asked of you at this time, journaling and writing down and interpreting your dreams can offer important clues. Journaling is similar to dream work in that it helps you gain perspective and insight into your "waking dream."
Inner spaces newly cleared of old, stagnant emotions will welcome the dazzling array of new possibilities flooding your consciousness. From these visions, you can build the vision that will carry you into the transformative times ahead. These times allow you to take quantum leaps in the effort to forge a new identity empowered to create the realities aligned with your new dreams and visions.
If you have set the groundwork of clearing old energies and building a new vision for the future, the energies of the lunar eclipse will provide the fuel to manifest these new visions.
Accessing Portals of Enhanced Creativity and Manifestation
The energies now open a portal to enhanced creativity and manifesting. To make the most of this time of profound change and manifestation, be willing to answer the call of your higher self. Be willing to ride waves of clearing into a new and more spiritually aligned, empowered and creative identity. This identity will call forth latent abilities and talents we have yet to recognize within our being. Don't be surprised if you find yourself drawn to explore new ideas and potentials.
The Opening of Clairvoyance and Interdimensional Skills
During this expansive time, many will begin developing new spiritual skills such as clairvoyance and interdimensional travel. Some will awaken from dreams where they have been in otherworldly settings or downloading "transcripts" of advanced spiritual knowledge. These energies will bring awareness to any attachments or emotional props that have been used to maintain balance and a sense of security. This awareness will also reveal new levels of potentials that are accessible within our present moment.
Believe in the Blessings that Surround You
This period will serve as a rite of passage where you will have the opportunity to see everything that comes before you as a blessing or an obstacle. It is during this time when the energies are set for great expansion that you will find it easier than ever before to believe in the blessings that surround you. But choosing to see everything that shows up in your life as a blessing, you will effectively dissolve any obstacles that appear on your path.
By maintaining a high level of awareness, you can check in throughout the day to see if you're feeling burdened under the weight of insurmountable challenges, or if you are allowing the expanded energies to flow through you, amping up your ability to transform all you encounter in the bright light of unconditional love.
Becoming a Powerful Force for Universal Love
One way to become adept at transforming obstacles into blessings is to become a powerful force for unconditional love. Act in service to the underprivileged, and on behalf of sentient creatures and the environment. Acting from this place of love and service to those not as strong and empowered as yourself allows you to become a more powerful and loving force in the universe.
We offer 16 steps for making the most of this profound period of change and transformation.
One) Spend time in nature -- connect with the peace and perfection of plants, trees, flowers and the night sky.
Two) Take daily sun baths for 10 to 15 minutes. Visualize the sun's light filling the cells of your body.
Three) Spend time each day nurturing yourself. Begin a new health regimen, prepare healthy meals for yourself, receive spa treatments, massages, etc. Homeopathy, essential oils and flower essences can prove beneficial during this time.
Four) Clear up energy in your environment. Clear away any clutter and arrange spaces in inspiring and uplifting ways.
Five) Make time for creative play, focusing on the process rather than the product.
Six) Allow your imagination to lead you on journeys in consciousness. Your imagination is your doorway to higher consciousness.
Seven) Practice yoga, tai chi and other forms of movement that align mind, body and spirit.
Eight) Make a gratitude list, expressing appreciation for everything in your life. This includes any challenges or "tests" that may come before you at this time.
Nine) Donate and volunteer your time to charities that help animals, the environment and the underprivileged. Regularly giving to those in need keeps you aligned with your heart. We are all earth angels capable of answering the call to administer divine assistance.
Ten) Each time you encounter stress or negativity, align your thoughts and feelings with unconditional love. This allows you to stay positive, focused and grounded.
Eleven) Now more than ever it’s important to eat clean and healthy. On the priority list are root vegetables and dark, leafy vegetables.
Twelve) Pay attention to the guidance and messages you receive within each moment. Messages will arrive in dreams and meditation. Don't overlook the value of your 'waking dreams' in daily life. Everything in your environment and everything that enters your awareness holds a symbol containing valuable information for your journey.
Thirteen) Notice any emotional triggers and open to their messages. People and situations will show up on many fronts to trigger any residual emotions you are holding.
Fourteen) Love and forgive yourself and others for any perceived imperfections. We hold soul contracts with numerous beings who have agreed to help us in our journey of self-awareness and vice versa.
Fifteen) Accept and embrace that you are a wise and powerful being capable to bestowing blessings on all you encounter.
Sixteen) Perceive and activate timelines where you are living your highest dreams and visions and living your life each moment as a powerful force for love in the universe. Your highest timelines are realized when you accept and believe that everything you are able to perceive is a potential that exists within your field of possibilities.

Gratitude Activates Timelines where our Highest Visions Manifest
The last weeks of 2012 offer portals into new and expanded realities where we are living the dreams and visions we have held throughout our lives. These visions represent our spiritual purpose for this lifetime and are ready to be manifest.
Those who have spent decades honing skills will now find their footing on the path to deeper levels of mastery. Intuitives, artists, writers, inventors, musicians and others will find new ideas, potentials, inspiration, creativity and resources ready and available now.
Lower Frequencies aren't Compatible with the New Time
All that waits in the wings now resides on the energetic frequency of the new time. As we step into this time, we are asked to release past limiting behaviors, beliefs and ways of being. If we are holding onto old energies, these will bind us energetically to lower frequencies that are incompatible with the new time.
Gratitude is a 'Fast Track' to Healing the Past
A "fast track" to completing with the past is to enter a place of gratitude for all that has been up to this point. This may sound simple from a purely physical perspective, but it can be challenging to appreciate the most difficult times. Even so, with love, beauty, mastery, and abundance awaiting us, why would we choose to hang onto past moments where suffering and old traumas reside?
Helping Younger 'Selves' Trapped in Traumas of the Past
The answer is that "we" as we know ourselves in the present moment may be ready to step free of the past but younger aspects of ourselves may not be ready. When we find it difficult to accept the blessings of the past with gratitude, it's time to consider if younger aspects of our consciousness are still trapped in the past. These aspects still embroiled in past events don't know how to free themselves. They have not yet come to know that all situations in our lives are opportunities to grow and learn. They have not yet learned how to transform the energies they encounter.
Shining the Light of Higher Awareness on Old Events
When you realize this is the case, you can help free your younger selves. One way to do this is to travel in meditation to "re-see" these past events by shining the light of your present-moment awareness on them. As you bring these old events into awareness, you're able to dialogue with them and ask them how they have helped you. Every event in your life was created by some part of you to stimulate growth and understanding. Growth and understanding are essential because they allow us to enter deeper levels of love and self-realization.
Gratitude Allows us to Exist along High-Vibrational Timelines
Gratitude allows us to exist along high-vibrational timelines where we are able to understand the purpose and meaning of every single event of our lives. As we embrace the intentions of events created by our younger selves, we understand how these experiences helped us to expand. We can also feel gratitude for those who played a role in the learning situations we created. For example, if a person was harsh with us as a child, we can feel grateful for this experience because it allowed us to learn patience and forgiveness, and develop a profound appreciation of kindness.
If we experience health challenges as a child, we can be grateful for circumstances that teach us the value of self-healing and help us appreciate and cultivate radiant health. If we grew up in a loveless environment, this can inspire us to find love within and teach us to appreciate and cultivate unconditional love.
Revenge Binds us to Lower-Vibrational Realities
We always have the option to choose the path of violence and revenge on those we feel have harmed us but this choice will only bind us to lower-vibrational realities. We will exist along timelines of hardship and suffering until we choose to align ourselves with frequencies of love and gratitude, which always lift us to a place of higher vision and understanding. Each person holds the ability to choose the path of revenge or the path of gratitude.
Gratitude Activates Timelines where our Highest Visions Manifest
When we choose to see the events of the past from a place of gratitude, we activate timelines where our highest visions and most dearly-held dreams are manifest. If ever it seems that our dreams are failing to materialize, all we need do is look within to see if there is some part of our past where aspects of our consciousness are trapped in old traumas. Whenever we shine the light of higher awareness on old situations, we transform them to blessings. We may need to repeat this process over time until we have released every situation from the past that binds us to moments of suffering and trauma. As we find these traumas and feel gratitude for them, we're able to step more fully into the love and blessings of the new time.

Your Soul Purpose is found through JOY
Ascended Master, Serapis Bey’s Weekly Message ~ November 23 – 30, 2012
Channeled by: Julie Miller
November 23, 2012
So many dear souls are searching somewhere, elsewhere to know of their soul purpose. Dear ones please understand when your present moment starts to feel perfect then you know you are living your soul purpose. When you are aware that you are already living your soul purpose you will then realize your relationships will also change dynamically. No longer will you feel the need to look for happiness in a distant future daydream because you already hold that joy and happiness within your precious heart.
You know you are already living your soul purpose when you finally end your conversations that begin with, “…once ‘this or that’ happens then I will be where I ‘want’ to be” – “Then I will be satisfied and happy”. What will change dear one is the wording, “Where I AM right now is exactly where I want to be right now – and nowhere else”. This level of awareness and change does occur when you stop looking so hard everywhere else and look within and see the beauty that is alive inside of you. Nothing dear ones is more perfect than where you are right now, living in the moment that is sacred and precious. Your future will unveil itself one step at a time through your choices. Do not rush your journey; there is much to learn along the way. When you reach this state of accepting and knowing where you are at right now on your journey is where you are meant to be you will feel a most incredible emotion and that is JOY.
Your joy is a product of total acceptance of your present moment. Each time you project your consciousness away from the present NOW moment to seek happiness in another time or place you are leaving JOY behind. Understand dear ones when all aspects of your being fully embraces where you are right now, you are compelled to feel elation and Joy.
There are some among you who have not reached this state of being yet because they are still busy looking for it through other means. Know dear ones; each of you has the ability within you to reach a true state of joy to be demonstrated in all you do in every aspect of your life. You will reach joy in time and understanding of yourself and the world around you simply by listening to your heart and the gentle prompting you will receive. Observe always your emotional state and compare to how you feel when you are in a state of joy and elation. You know yourself better than anyone. If you are truly observant of yourself, you will be able to pinpoint at each stage of your journey where your level of consciousness is at. You already know inner peace neighbours joy. If you are feeling powerless at any moment, know you are more removed from joy and the more you will resist being in this sacred state of Joy and Elation.
If you are in a powerless feeling moment, then you know you are far from Joy. Know dear ones you cannot just jump to this sacred state instantaneously and expect to stay there for any length of time. If you do try to just jump right in yes you may very well experience a temporary feeling of Joy, but whatever the situation that you are dealing with that is pulling you from feeling Joy always will draw you away. If you are fully conscious with your intent to reach joy, then with time, self-love and care to yourself you will eventually reach this sacred state of joy and elation and make this state of being your default way of living. To remain in a state of joy in all you do, you only need to continuously direct your life on the path that will bring joy by making better choices.
Understand dear ones each and every time you are faced with a decision, even if it’s just choosing to reply to a message left to you or passing by a fellow being you choose to speak, smile or do nothing. The most mundane of choices all hold responsibility because they involve you. We encourage you dear ones when you move through your day and you wish to include more joy in your life, they make choices that will direct you to living in a state of joy – choices that will bring you inner happiness and satisfaction. When you realize you have this option, the power you will feel from within will be incredible. Please understand dear ones, when you begin to make better joyful choices at first you may not feel so joyful and this will depend on where you are currently. If you are still influenced by negative thought forms or other negative states, you may not feel the elation of making joyous decisions right away. Begin changing your low energy thoughts a little at a time. It’s okay to take baby steps. The building of you has no time limit. You will discover dear ones there will be some choices that will provide you with a more empowering feeling than others. Begin with these. They will help stimulate your confidence and help to rebuild your self-esteem. Learn that you are very worthy of love and we love you deeply. Our love for you is infinite.
There are many dear souls among you who are angry. Understand dear ones anger is a higher state and is moved away from living in fear. The dear ones who react through anger and greed will eventually find a path that will lead to joy. There are always varying degrees of certain feelings and understanding the different of anger and fear is a first step towards progression to living in a state of joy.
It is okay and acceptable to angry and to feel this emotion. Don’t berate yourself for any length of time. Recognize where this emotion is coming from and know its actual root cause. Learn to move away from all negative states like anger as well as you can and in the best and most productive way possible. Love yourself and stop expecting so much if you are giving your best effort each and every time. You know all anger passes and through the confusion anger can bring, you will then see clearly the steps you need to make to raise your consciousness higher into a more positive state of being and living with joy.
Each step you take out of a negative way of living in time will eventually lead you to living in a state of joy. Know dear ones living with Joy and in Joy is a natural way for you to live. When you entered this lifetime you entered fully present in the moment. As babies you were not seeking to see into the past or in the future. Your focus was on the present. This can be reached again and it can be made your default way of living.
Before we continue I would like to remind each of you, the energy each of you give off – negative or positive can be felt by others. Just like making choices, you are responsible for the kind of energy you are sharing. There are some truly empathic souls that feel negative responses quite deeply to the point of illness and pain. Be conscious of your energy and how it’s flowing and of your emotions.
We know when you are feeling joyful – your light and energy flows easily. When you realize you are living in joy you then also come to the conclusion that your existence is no longer a challenge because you have ended your resistance of living in the present NOW moment and you will end the creation of problems for yourself.
Be conscious dear ones that any resistance will cause internal issues such as stress, fear and possibly illness and if not noticed this can escalate into external issues such as conflict, feeling of inadequacy, and possibly inequality. As you learn through gentle love of yourself and from choosing the direction that will bring you joy and to aid you to create more joy in your life, you will discover your whole life will become a joyful experience in every aspect every way possible. It is quite simple dear ones to accept, embrace and feel rejoice for your life when you are living in the present NOW moment. You will see dear ones; joyful feelings will create joyful actions which in turn will create more joyful feelings.
The sacred state of joy when you finally reach here will enable each of you to end worrying about your existence and end fearing what may or may not happen. You will notice it is a lot easier to satisfy your needs when you reduce your expectations of yourself. By making better joyful choices you will definitely propel your consciousness outward and be able to interact with your worldly community with ease and lack of fear. Remember positive attracts positive. Adopting this way of life will draw people to you like a magnet and you fill find yourself surrounded by other like-minded souls that will empower and encourage deeper spiritual growth and development. Through the support you will receive from these interactions and relationships you will discover and embrace your true soul purpose.
All you need to do dear ones is make simple choices that will bring you closer to living in joy each and every time. It is okay if one of your choices appears to far away from reaching joy. Know dear ones that every time you make a conscious choice to choose better the outcome will eventually bring you to joy and you will succeed because you have put your heart and soul into it. The choice is always yours because you are gifted with Free Will. And we of the divine will always be with you when you require a little help if you find yourself surrounded by uncertainty.
And so it is,
I AM Ascended Master, Serapis Bey through Julie Miller

Your AWAKENING Will Retrieve, Reconnect and Raise Communication WITH your SELF
Melchizedek’s Weekly Message ~ November 18 – 25, 2012
Channeled by: Julie Miller
November 18, 2012
The importance of your awakening from your ordinary consciousness into your full spiritual remembrance of who were and who you are is becoming the journey of many. What is being witnessed dear ones that even for those that are physically awake, mentally many are still mentally asleep - completely unaware of themselves because they are too absorbed in the current impulse that has stimulated and captured their attention. The state of convergence, otherwise understood as your mental immersion easily prevents you from entering a productive dream state.
When you are unaware that you are dreaming during your sleep, understand dear ones that this is a time you give yourself over to some of the most draining of dreams. It is during your day this lower state of consciousness does not always automatically dissolve, thus having you continue behaving slave-like to your impulses, spontaneous thoughts, and social palavers.
One of the first steps of your awakening necessitates you to break out of this convergence by increasing a particular measure of lucidity – a degree of self-awareness. Always dear ones, you can focus your attention inward and see yourself, putting your concentration steady in the current NOW moment. Take notice of your thoughts, examine your feelings, and observe intently to the sensations that are present in your body and notice your breath.
This amount of concentrated effort will bring you to the realization that your current perceptions are still stemming from your outer vehicles, even if they are occurring within your own mind. Understand dear ones the very central core of your mind is your center of perception that expresses your true self while the exterior region of your mind that is occupied by your thoughts that may or may not have been your own. This inner central core is your silent, quiet observer, the consciousness viewing through your own eyes and thinking through your mind.
Comprehend dear ones that to become lucid requires you to be cognizant of your own mindfulness. There are some dear souls that describe this as a state of remembrance since convergence is forgetting your own Self. Understanding lucidity is quite simple. Simply go within with pure focus and remember yourself in the NOW moment. Each time you make the effort to remember yourself you are hindering convergence and ending disremembering of your Self is your first step towards truly remembering your beloved spiritual identity. Realize and fully comprehend it is quite common to that you are, but incredibly empowering to know who you are. Know dear ones the first, just being will eventually lead you to second and that is your true soul self.
It is essential, as many dear souls know that being consciously present in the NOW is quite easy to execute but can be problematic to maintain. There are many books available to be purchased that speak on this subject alone. But the issue is not one sided. The issue is both physical and metaphysical. At first your heightened state of consciousness needs vital energy and a decent supply of communication that can reach each cell of your body. Understand dear ones; your energy will become depleted over a period of time from exertion. You might notice a slip into a lower level of consciousness. There is no harm being done here. Know dear ones, your consciousness and mental focus has the ability to expand through conscious development and training. Upholding any level of lucidity will become easier and with practice you will progressively increase the measure of your focus. There are various meditations that are able to guide and train you to becoming more self-aware. When you make the motion to practice lucidity within a controlled setting, you will come to understand that state of higher consciousness will become easier to reach and maintain during natural conditions. I encourage each of you to research meditations that require you to focus. Find one that resonates with you and work with it.
When you observe negative emotions and the inner feelings they create, in time you will stop entering a ‘run away’ state that causes overreaction and learn to perceive these sensations with constant awareness that is lacking of anger and fear that will engage an automatic defusing mechanism without depleting your energy. Understanding even during difficult moments, remaining in the NOW is most effective and beneficial to your entire being.
When you take the time to seriously observe yourself dear ones you increase your own awareness and dissolve negative thought forms. Each time you are able to return to your central core you are allowing yourself to choose in that NOW moment what to think, feel or even do. Understand dear ones, without self-awareness you would have no choice; you would only have a mechanical response to any given provocation.
The main purpose of the second stage of being awakened and lucid is for you to strengthen your connection to the higher realms of consciousness. Through careful listening, you become more aware of their influence and their influences becomes a more permanent feature of your evolving self. This dear ones is a crucial point. To become lucid while being in the flow will for a moment interrupt this divine momentum. Lucidity will not interrupt your flow of awakened energy if it is strong enough and you know as we have discussed, its strength comes from practice.
Positive convergence will eventually make your connection to the higher realms of consciousness much more permanent in order for you to gain self-awareness and not break the sacred connection. Furthermore, this dear ones is the third stage of awakening – being simultaneously lucid and in the flow of the NOW moment. Where the second stage you were running your conscious mind into your subconscious. The third stage starts the process of nurturing your subconscious into the conscious.
It is during this stage dear ones where practice of being aware of your SELF without being interrupted from the flow of impressions that enter your mind from other sources takes place. Passive observation and compassionate allowance of the influence of the higher realms of consciousness, will demonstrate your thoughts, feelings, words and actions that speak of your evolving God Presence. You must always be aware dear ones of your influences. Even while you remain lucid, allowing positive influences to work through you, the positive convergence can easily pass into negativity because you become too focused, too absorbed to catch when the change began. Do not fret when this occurs dear one, your inner self will solve the issue and return your whole self to a state of peace and calm.
When you find you are able to balance your self-awareness with positive flow that becomes permanent enough to allow your lower self to interact in dynamic unity your higher conscious self instead of being in a passive state of observation then dear ones you have entered the final stage of awakening. Once your lower self is free from all negative convergence and your higher conscious self holds a perfect, clear and permanent connection, and both are centered in the NOW moment at the same time, then a mutual flow of energy is very possible. It is your lower self that demonstrates mastery integrating the new wisdom you have gained of your higher conscious self, thus raising your own vibration. Your lower self finally merges, blends with your higher conscious self, bringing into achievement of total integration of your entire being.
Understand dear ones the stages are not required to be achieved in sequential order like in school. You will find yourself occupying one phase of a stage first, and then requiring you to learn how to integrate that part with the rest. Knowing full well that reaching the higher stages will require more patience as they can be more difficult to access as well as to maintain. It is normal dear ones to have flashes of awareness similar to a fluorescent light bulb that flickers often before fully being lit. Don’t become discouraged. Hope is always there dear ones, encouraging you to keep trying.
The primary goal to awakening dear ones is for you to retrieve what has been locked away and to re-establish connection and communication with your higher consciousness and God Presence and of course to remember who you are. Dear ones this all begins when you make a point to observe and discover yourself from the inside and listening to your heart.
I AM Melchizedek through Julie Miller
A Window of Opportunity
This past week, I’ve been hit with tremendous floods of energetic waves of light. Have you felt it, too? It was challenging to get through the work day and then go home to do more chores, just to keep myself and my pets fed. Every night I have had to go to bed early, perhaps because I was needed elsewhere? Don’t know. I don’t have the insights and visions that some others have or the lucid dreaming. I do dream and intensely. And my dreams have changed lately in their quality. I am meeting old and new friends, relatives and doing strange things.
This morning I dreamt that I was walking outside of my grandmother’s house, only the house was perched on the side of a hill, not unlike the place where I used to live as a child. And our old neighbor’s house was gone. All that was left was a huge, steep garden. I was dressed in a long floral dress and moving quite easily, almost dancing. I started back to the house; the way steepened until I was climbing, still in a dress. Still I persisted until I came to a ledge outside of a window. I could hear my next-door neighbors (yes, there was suddenly a house there) making a running commentary on my progress up the slope. As I got nearer to the window, their little girl gasped. My feet were slipping. I found purchase on a few nails that protruded from the rockwork, but then the nail head broke beneath the weight of my lightly shod foot. Still I hung on and managed to open the window, but it looked too small for me to climb through. Still there wasn’t any other place to go. I couldn’t turn back, so I went forward enlarging the opening as I pushed through. Then finally, I managed to climb through the window and was home, again.
One could see this dream as being symbolic of our struggle to reach ascension. Although there were times earlier on the path where I could have turned back and returned to a “normal” life, I never wavered. Something within urged me to climb higher and so I went, even dressed in an impractical dress. So, I persisted and have finally made it to the window, perhaps the gate of Ascension that some channelers are speaking of these days.
My role seems to be changing. From anchoring the light upon the planet, I have seemed to move now into the role of a gatekeeper or certainly a cheerleader for those who are now waking up. However humble my state in the world, I am growing in my inner awareness of my true Being and it is vast, vaster than I could ever imagine. Nightly I have etheric visitors who wish to chat with me, angelic beings, light beings, sometimes my Twin Flame, the Divine Mother… all seeking to answer my questions. What every one of them has told me is to continue to seek within, to open the Heart, to focus on the Oneness of all humanity. As I work with the energies before falling off to sleep, I feel the great warmth in my heart chakra as my awareness opens up, seeking to flood first my body, then my surroundings and eventually the entire planet with the love that I feel emanating from the center of my heart. It is difficult to put this into words, but it feels like a beautiful web of Light and Love is being constructed, has been constructed and is coming online as each person opens to it.
Ascension is both an individual and communal (as in community of the planet) process. We are all in this together. Whether or not we choose to ascend is up to each individual. In resisting the lure of ascension, one is merely signaling that they do not feel ready to take the next step out of the experience of polarity. These people will be cared for; this has been made clear through the messages given out by the galactics, angelic beings and ascended masters. No one is denied the exercise of their free will. I do know, however, that I have chosen ascension. I chose ascension before ever I came to incarnate in this lifetime. It has come increasingly to my awareness that I have been doing this kind of work, light-working, for many embodiments upon this planet, in many cultures and races. Each of us must come to our own decision, whether to remain in 3D to continue to experience polarity at the appropriate level of soul development, to leave the body to go to the astral plane for further teaching or to move into the fifth dimension, where new lessons will be undergone.
About a month ago, I was blessed with, for me, an unusual dream. In it I approached a beautiful young couple, man and woman. I noticed right away that they had the outer appearance of Hindu gods, rather like the paintings of Shiva and his Shakti, Parvati. Whoever they were, the two beings were quite beautiful. I felt entirely calm in their presence, interested and just a slightly bit puzzled. Why would I be so blessed as to receive this dream / vision? The answer came simply because you were / are open to receiving an image of your Father / Mother God. Now, as one who has emerged from a Protestant Christian upbringing, who has studied metaphysics and the Goddess religion, I have little knowledge of Hindu gods, yet I recognized them immediately. One does not walk through Asian art museums in San Francisco and Seattle without seeing at least one or more statues or paintings of these beautiful beings. It was my feeling that I was given this particular dream image simply because I had no expectations of becoming suddenly a devotee of Shiva, but that I would recognize the universality of the images given, as representing just one face of Divinity as well as one of the oldest living religions as has been given forth for humanity. And the goddess was very kind, handing me a little treat to eat. There were no words from the couple, just some comments from me on the beautiful arts of India as I looked upon their intricate costumes and the little sculpture that lay on a table beside the goddess. It was large, shaped like a lingam stone, and decorated in an intricate design by tiny colored beads. The goddess handed me a little sack of seeds to eat, which I did gladly. Perhaps someone more conversant in Hindu ways could interpret the dream for me. I just know that I woke up with the most pleasant feelings of being loved, as a child does when it knows it is loved. For me, it is interesting that these ties to Mother India would emerge, as I have discovered that both the Great Divine Director and my Twin Flame have ties to that wonderful, ancient and complicated culture.
No matter what culture or race you have been born into, our planet is made up of individuals who are connected from within. We are the nodes on the intersecting web of light; we are the holders of the Flame of life; we are a community of Life, here and now, coming into an awareness that we are One with our Divinity, greater than we seem, and worthy of love and respect. Each of us is a jewel of light or a facet of the jewel that makes up the wholeness of humanity. And with us are those who are our family, from the galactic and intergalactic star nations, as well as angelic beings and ascended masters.
If you look at the great picture another way, we are all ascended masters who have decided to wake up, again, to take up our mantles and continue our work in another field. The work will not end with ascension of the planet; it will continue in other places and spheres and within each of us. And those who chose not to ascend at this time will come later, in their own time without judgment. They, too, will be greeted with joy.
I understand that many lightworkers are currently experiencing anxiety and doubt over the reality of ascension, simply because it appears that few changes have occurred in their outer existence. Wars, political turmoil, disease, natural and manmade disasters still continue across the face of the planet. In no place does it appear that peace has broken out, yet, we tell you (I’m channeling this now, folks!) it has. Peace has broken out in the hearts of man, woman and child. People who have been in disagreement with one another are either reaching out with open hands to grasp their former enemy’s hand or are moving on, simply leaving the point of confrontation, the bone of contention. Some people have realized that to continue to lash out at the ills of the world serves no purpose but to keep negativity and fear alive; so they determine to leave it all behind. Others work behind the scenes, moving and changing what they can within their area of expertise, waiting for the right moment when the changes can be finally aired before the eyes of the world, when finally it is “safe” to do so. Still others, brave ones, are speaking out, moved by what is in their hearts, aligning with other people in their communities and joining together, after the manner of Gandhi and Martin Luther King, to act in unity with their neighbors through symbolic gestures of peaceful, non-violent resistance.
Yes, some people are still getting killed and injured; yes, wars still continue; yes, there are political factions who still wish to foment certain parties in order that a new world war might start – Yet, we tell you now, they will not succeed. Peace is emerging in this world. Peace is emerging through the hearts of individuals, who work without acknowledgement, but who have taken upon themselves to increase the light quotient upon this planet to the point of no return. And that point has been reached. Ascension will take place. The fate of Atlantis and Lemuria will not be ours. We will go forward into the light those who choose to do so at this time and will leave a path for those who come along later to follow.
A window of opportunity has emerged for those who are still indecisive, who are experiencing doubt or even fear. Decide now whether or not it is time for you to move on. It is an individual decision and one that only you can make. And what you decide will be supported by the extremely intense light being focused upon our planet during these final months until the shift takes place. Each of us has an opportunity to finalize our cleaning our closets, releasing our fears and strengthening our connection to our Higher Selves. Each of us has an opportunity to be more than we are now, to open up to the endless possibilities that ascension can offer. Each of us has the opportunity to learn to trust and to be willing to learn to be patient and listen. For ascension is on a “need to know” basis; you learn what you need to know in the moment you need to know it. Learning to trust is an implicit part of the process, as I am learning to trust that something will emerge from my fingers when I sit down to the keyboard!
For many people this is a way of existence in complete opposition to the way they have approached their daily lives, with planning and mapping out their entire career and life plan. For these individuals, they are discovering the old ways are no longer working. There are too many interruptions, life has become too unpredictable. Those who have had fabulous, well-paying careers are suddenly finding themselves out on the street looking for another job, losing their house and possessions, seemingly without hope. There is hope; there is always hope, but sometimes one needs to look within rather than to attempt to discover the answers outside of one; sometimes the answer comes in a moment of clarity, a few words in a book or song, in the warm smile of a complete stranger. Sometimes the insight on what your next step should be will come upon waking or in a moment spent alone, perhaps even while taking a shower or walking the dog. The answers will come if you give them an opportunity. Open your mind and heart to possibilities, they will be there.
And open your heart to your unseen helpers or those who wish to be your assistants, the angelic beings. They wait upon your word and intent for they are respecters of universal law; they cannot interfere where they are not wanted. Eagerly they await your permission to assist. Sometimes their assistance will be simply to “lighten” your mood so you can relax enough to be able to receive new ideas. Sometimes their assistance will take more substantial form, but always it will be only within the ability of you to accept their help. I have worked consciously with angelic beings since I was a teenager. They have been there for me; they will be there for you.
Now is the time. There is only the now. Time is passing faster each day. Soon there will be no time. Soon we will learn how to play with time, to understand cycles and how time acts in spirals and circles, how to slow it down and speed it up according to our individual need. Now we are living through the last days of linear time and are emerging into a planetary awareness of multidimensionality. We exist in all planes, all times and all places. I realize that these are concepts that are difficult for some people to understand, but approach it from a right-hemisphere point of view. For example, an experienced painter will see a painting as it is complete while staring at the pristine white of a new canvas. He sees the painting as it is, as it will be, as it exists in his mind’s eye or imagination (“I image in”). His imagination then leads his hands and fingers to create on the canvas what exists in his mind. And the painting comes to life. Mind you, this kind of work takes a lifetime to perfect, even life times, but always it is done with the use of imagination and the seeming suspension of time as you work. In music, it is said that Mozart heard the tunes that he wrote down, note by note, complete and without changing to become the masterpieces that he is known and revered for; truly a master. How does one become a master? By being the master. Seeing it as a possibility in your life and then dedicating your every waking (and sometimes sleeping) moment to that task.
This is what we must do for ascension. Dedicate ourselves to becoming the masters we are within. Dedicate ourselves to bringing that master within out into the world. This will only happen for those who are unafraid of criticism and who release fear and doubt from their worlds. And now is the time of opportunity to gain a great thrust of momentum towards your goal as your efforts are being supported on every level by the cosmic light that is being beamed upon this planet. Even if it appears that your efforts are not manifesting in your outer world, release the anxiety, turn within and listen. Learn to trust. Learn to have faith that change will occur in your world when you are ready to deal with it, when you are ready to be it.
It is interesting that this article has emerged both as a channeling piece and an individual effort on my own. It shows that there is beginning to be a true blending of both our worldly and divine natures. If it is possible for me to experience this, it is possible for you. We are all one at the core of our beings. Each of us has something beautiful to offer to the world even if it is simply by being here. All of us are loved and treasured by our Creator. I have felt that love and have experienced it when I have needed it; when I have called out for assistance and guidance, it has been there. It just takes a willingness to believe that you truly deserve and are worthy to receive love and guidance. Our heavenly and galactic families wait patiently for us to recognize that we are greater than we seem; that we are truly gods as dear Master Jesus told his followers so long ago.
Ascension, for each of us, is truly an opportunity, an act of trust and an individual act of dedication. In the remaining minutes, hours and months, we will all experience moments of doubt and hesitation. When those moments occur, we have the choice whether to go on or to drop back. Our decisions are honored; free will reigns on this planet of choice. I do know that I will confront my fears, examine them closely and then let them go. Fear can no longer dominate my life. I follow, most humbly, in the footsteps of those who have gone before me. I will walk into the light with open eyes and an open heart. I hope to greet you all when I get there.
Many blessings of love and joy accompany you on your path whenever it takes you!

You are Multi-Dimensional, Existing Simultaneously throughout the Universe
The energies of November through year’s end open a window for exploring new spiritual identities that will carry us seamlessly into the expanded future we have envisioned over the past decade. This re-envisioning of our destiny takes place as old ways of perceiving ourselves and the world we live in erode and fall away.
Accepting All Things are Possible in the Universe
November has served as a passage to help us revisit age-old questions of “Who am I? Why am I here?” Now more than ever these questions are crucial to our movement through upcoming transition times. Who we believe ourselves to be determines everything in our lives. Our beliefs serve as gatekeepers, determining much of what we “allow” into our experience. We are being asked now to expand our beliefs to embrace the idea that all things are possible in the universe. Limitations do not truly exist. Time does not really exist. These are just human constructs that help the conscious mind manage and process reality. These constructs are meant to serve as tools for navigating consciousness, not as self-imposed prisons that greatly limit our potentials.
You are a Vast, Multidimensional Being
As we allow ourselves to move deeper into the energies of the new time, we encounter expanded timelines where each person holds a deeper awareness of their spiritual identity. As part of this deeper awareness, each of us will come to perceive our multi-dimensional nature. During this time, we will have dreams, experiences and visions that prove to us beyond a shadow of doubt that we are much more than the limited physical beings we’re able to perceive with our physical senses.
You Exist Simultaneously throughout the Universe
Because time and other limitations don’t really exist, souls are able to incarnate simultaneously into numerous timeframes and dimensions. As we move further into the awakening process, we gain awareness of other aspects of our selves simultaneously existing throughout the universe. Some of these aspects are incarnated into physical reality in other timeframes - both past and future – and some aspects reside in other locations in the universe serving as soul guides, spirit helpers and originators of new realities. As we accept that our other aspects exist, we develop the potential for communication and sharing with these aspects.
We Are Not Limited to the Confines of our Conscious Mind
An unenlightened conscious mind likes to think of itself as separate, autonomous, and authoritarian. The other side of the coin is that it can feel also feel isolated, alone and overwhelmed by questions and experiences it is unable to understand. When our conscious self expands its identity to include these other aspects, it is able to begin communicating with them, sharing information, talents, skills and wisdom. In this unified state, we are able to burn through the perception that we are small and alone and limited to the confines of our conscious mind. The acceptance that we are “many” allows us to adopt the spiritual identity of a vast, multi-dimensional being empowered by an atmosphere of love, cooperation and mutual assistance with our other "selves."
An Expanded Spiritual Identity is an Ascension Milestone
A major milestone on the road to ascension is awakening to an expanded, multi-dimensional identity. When we accept that we’re vast, empowered beings, we are able to recognize others who are still struggling in silence and isolation. When we find inner unification, we naturally want to serve and assist those who are ready to step free of the condition of separation.
It’s impossible to experience true oneness with others when we are still experiencing the condition of separation within ourselves. When we adopt the identity of a multi-dimensional, unified being, we are empowered to serve and assist our “selves” and all others in a spirit of love, unity, cooperation and compassion.
