Jade Fire:
Good evening Beloved ones.
Good evening Sir.
All those who are part of this large group must now move on to a different level of energy spirals and for all meetings this work will be done silently by us, from this meeting onwards.
Each one is already aware that there is a spiritual worker with you at every meeting. From now, this worker will not only undertake healing work but the actual transformation of your spirals. But for this to be done to every member of the group that attends, there have to be certain changes made in the composition of this group. It is not easy to tell you this, but some have to be kept away from these meetings. For those whose energy spirals are not ready to be changed, circumstances will be created by us that will keep them away from our meetings. This will include any core group, inner circle or a casual visitor. But we wish to tell you that there is not one amongst you who will be kept away by us. Yes there are those who will not be present with us as personal work calls you away, but that will not stop our spiritual helpers from being with you, if you invite them to be with you at the time when you know our meetings are taking place. But there is not one in this room who isn’t ready for this change. You can inform our beloved son, who is not present [Zafar], our nightingale who sings for us (Ernie), and our and very, very enthusiastic and eager child who is unwell with her mother [Armaity and Aloo] that they too are not amongst the ones of whom we speak. (While I was going through the transcript I received this message from Jade Fire that none in the Pune core group is among the persons to be kept away…..Elaeenah)
Sohrab: Thank you
So there will be some circumstances that will prevent some from coming and it is because their energy spirals cannot be changed at present. But, there will be others coming into this group whose energy spirals will be very, very high, who will come to these meetings only once, or on very few occasions in order to spread that high spiral to the group. You will not know who they are, so welcome all those who come as though they are very high souls who come to you.
Today you celebrate a day to which you have given a light name "Friendship Day".
But you do not even know the meaning of friend. You only consider one thing about a friend; one who is there for you, one who helps you is your friend. And that is not the meaning of friend at all. You must now always know the truth behind your relations - always. You are all ready to accept the truth. Do not now be satisfied any more with illusion. That which you know, that which has been taught to you as the truth, is illusion. Do not be satisfied with those answers. Friends are all those persons who have come to you to provide you with fondness, resistance, inspiration and explanation in the now dimension.
Fondness, that is very important to you for a friend. You wish your friend to give you comfort, solace, love; yes that is important. And those who give you this are your friends. But so are also those who give you resistance, who at every moment in time place a resistance in your path. They are the ones you call your enemies and we will take that too. They are friends by providing you with an obstacle. They give you the chance to look for different ways and means to proceed. The path of evolution is not a straight one; sometimes it goes in a maze of circles so that you can find your way out of that maze. And the maze has to be placed for you by someone. That is your friend. He gives you no fondness, he cannot. If he did, you would not consider his obstacle as resistance. So he cannot come to you wearing the clothes of fondness. He has to don the garb of an enemy. But this is only a cloak that he puts on for you. He gives you the opportunity to grow like no other friend does. He comes to you with emotional resistance, physical resistance, he insults, he abuses, he derides, he condemns, he jeers, he mocks. He certainly does not understand and he certainly does not wish to be your friend. But to proceed on this path of evolution you have to recognize him as friend and not judge. But, what is judgement?
Yes, you are very confused and so we will explain this further. Because you, little one, (Syrus) more than all else, have such a truth in your desire to grow. But you also have the baggage of so many past lives as explained to you earlier; of being an extremely arrogant personality. You have occupied so many positions of great power, great stature, great elevation. You have wished to move away from that arrogance now and have chosen the various failures, kicks and obstacles that have brought you down. So we will explain to you what is judgement and what is not. When I pointed this out to you yesterday I did not judge you, little one. I looked at you as my equal. That is important. When you look at someone as your equal, equal in every manner; equal in your strength, equal in your weakness, equal in your perfection, equal in your excellence and equal in all your flaws, there can be no judgement. There is only a pointing out of fact. Again with no expectation. It is our duty to guide you but we don’t want to hold you to follow what we have to say. We give you the full liberty to completely discard it. When you judge, my little one, and now this is for all of you – because so many of you went back yesterday from the meeting wondering why our little son, Soli, was given this chiding, as you called it, when in your heart you too felt that what he said was true. How can one not judge, you questioned? A world that is corrupt, that is killing and lying ….. and you wondered why did the Master chide this son. The chiding was not chiding. It was a pointing out. And this son needs strength and power when something has to hit home and we will use that. Our beloved one here [Sohrab] does not need that; he is lazy and tends to stop working on himself and then he needs a ‘hammering’. He has been given that. It makes him think. He does not like it, but because he does not like it he begins to think; he gets out of his indolence, his laziness. That is his weakness. He gets lazy very, very often and sometimes we need to give him a push. This child [Irawati]needs a harshness of honesty without which she will not look. We have to be honest and we have to be harsh in our words and then the doors of her heart that are shut are knocked down. First there are tears and then there is an acknowledgement of truth. True?
Irawati: Yes, Master.
We know how to reach you and we will do what we need to do to reach you. So, what is judgement then? It is not turning a blind eye to the corruption. Not it is looking at the corruption; it is getting angry at the corruption. Not enraged, a true anger that comes out of knowing that this situation is causing an energy buildup that is harmful not only to me but to our dearest mother earth.
How is anger different from rage? Anger never manifests as violence, never shows itself as aggression. Anger gathers a strength and anger then uses, in complete awareness of divine unity, all the tools that are available to change a situation so that energy itself can evolve. Had you not found our dearest High Lord angry sometimes? But he is never enraged. Even in his anger, he does not talk down to you. See the difference. I spoke to you as my equal. Because that is what you are. You and I are equal in all. When you judge, you talk down. You pass judgement always from a position of superiority. Not necessarily arrogance, but superiority. I know better. If you truly do then do not be lazy; use the strength of this anger to change the situation. That is not judgement. So the difference between us and you which you asked….there is equality and there is no expectation. You come from superiority so you expect. In fact, you go beyond, you demand that the other change in a manner that you know is right. Your right is not truth. Your right comes out of illusion. Your right if it is truth, will acknowledge that the situation, with your limited perception, can see that the negative energy is spiraling outwards in great forces. But at that same moment your right will acknowledge that you do not know whether this negative force is essential at present, for that person. We do not all the time point out, even though there are several of you sitting even now caught in negative spirals. But we know that they are required.
All these that you judge are also your friends. Do you not see how they put out resistance for you? Those who indulge in corruption are your friends; by their act they make you aware that that is not your truth. What a great service to perform for another. Just as we tell you what is truth the other, by a negative action, tells you the same thing. And this action for you is not your truth; for another it is the truth. Each must be given the freedom to follow their own evolution paths. Do not change people. Change situations. You do not know that person’s energy, that person’s soul, that person’s growth process and direction, you do not know. But a situation makes you feel uncomfortable. You cannot change that with despondency, you can change that with anger. Not rage, not aggression, not violence. With anger, and if you find the situation too large for you to change, let that anger not be wasted. Use it upon self. Search in your own self and somewhere you will find the corruption. Find in you own self the dishonesty; change that. Any situation that causes anger, and in your case we will call it rage, any situation that causes rage within you, is what you have within you already. Do not be self-righteous and say it does not exist within me. It does. If it did not it would not cause this reaction. So if you cannot change the situation, change yourself. Look for this within yourself. Is only the killing of another human being in the physical, is that the only murder? Can murder not be of another’s emotion? Can it not be when you trample over the rights and wishes of another? That is murder. Is corruption only bribery and money exchanging hands? Have you not been corrupt when you have clung on to what you consider your values, ignoring everything else that another holds dear? That is also a corruption. Is only speaking lie dishonesty? But when you flatter somebody because you are too scared to tell the truth? Do you flatter because you wish for a personal gain; has that not been dishonest? Do not then judge.
Of course you will speak what is within you. We are not stopping that, but do not speak from an elevated position. Never look down upon another. A murderer is also your equal, a rapist is your equal, a child abuser is your equal. The politician that you find so contemptible is your equal. Do not look down. And when you then speak from a position of equality, do not expect. When you consider that another is your equal you must respect the other enough to consider them able to make their own decisions. And giving them that respect means giving them that liberty to make the decision to discard what you have spoken, as rubbish. This liberty we give to you by repeatedly telling you do not accept what we say unless it resonates within you as your truth. Do not accept it. It is not the word of any master - it is the words of one equal to another.
That was resistance. Now one who inspires you, makes you transcend the limitation of yourself to something higher than what you had imagined you could attain. That is a friend. Someone who refuses to believe in the smallness that you think you are, that is a friend. Someone who knows even when you don’t, that you are capable of so much more than you are scared to acknowledge. That is a friend. When you cannot find faith in yourself, find faith in the belief of your friend. In that belief know that you are capable.
Then there is a friend who explains without judgement, explains to you what you may not always like to hear, but you have to hear if you wish to move towards the direction that your soul has guided you on to. In fact a true friend will always explain but will not flatter you. Will not tell you that you are right when you are not. Yes, certainly the friend may be wrong, because the friend is human. Are you then going to turn around and tell your friend, don’t talk rubbish? Accept the explanation, respect it enough to give it real and careful thought and if after that it does not resonate with you, do not accept it. But do not ever judge it as being rubbish.
And all of this is done in the now dimension. We know that you are not interested, from your human point of view, in a friend of the past or future; you are only interested in now. So it would be foolish for us to tell you, love this son; even though he is your enemy now he was a great friend of yours in the past. You will not be able to do so. You are still limited by the three levels that you work upon.
So, Fondness, resistance, inspiration and explanation in the now dimension. And why do you then attach the word ship to friend. Your friend is your vehicle; it transports you from shores of lower vibration towards the shore of divine energy. He uses himself as a physical body to carry you and your energy. What a mission and what a task. So you celebrate this day without knowing why. Yes, embrace and hug all those who have given you the love that you require. It may not be possible to embrace those who give you resistance but when you return home will you at least embrace them in thought. Embrace them for having hurt you. For having insulted you. For having taken from you what you thought was yours. Embrace them dearly and for the first time call them friend. And you will find that you have many more of such friends than the ones that care for you.
Sometimes the greatest mission that a soul undertakes is to behave in a manner that is so negative and so hurtful and so mean; only to help you grow. And you must acknowledge that great friend, acknowledge them. You have done it in the past for others. You have also been mean. You have also murdered, raped, scorned, derided, insulted and abused and you did it to help someone else. May be now that person wishes to help you in return and is doing so in a manner that both of you decided was right. Celebrate all your friends, all of them.
BE LIGHT
Descartes: (Sohrab)
Friends, Monsieur Descartes, Story Teller at your disposal.
I sat upon a rock many, many years ago, speaking to children, before days of books as you know it, being freely available. Stories were passed by me and many, many others to children who sat at our feet, spellbound, who in turn took the stories and their essence and passed on the folklore to their children and grandchildren. In those days, and indeed days before, symbolism was essential as that was our best means of communication. Symbolism today, to your very advanced and technical minds, comes across as childish and ludicrous but in the century number 18 it was the order of the day. Our friend spoke of friendship. This has been discussed before but bears repetition. Remind yourself of the symbolizing of Noah’s Ark, the ship of friends. How better to explain to public the animals, two by two, referring not to actual animals but to the perfect balance of yin and yang. Acceptance of all species as in different races living together in harmony. What did the flood symbolize, the rising tide of negativity, the friendship binding all together in a common goal, working together as a whole to float above negativity. Conquering it, connection with the divine at all times. And when the flood abates landing once again together as friends, to start a new life, a new circle of life begins. Symbolism has been used throughout the world in all legends books. Yes, little friend the discussion that was held earlier with this child [Elaeenah] was indeed accurate. The Greeks, the Romans, the legends, sacrifice of a virgin to the Gods, symbolized breaking through of innocence and exposing the innocent to world and celestial truths. There was no actual sacrifice, it was the law-makers and the wise saying: you fools, look beyond, see the truth as it actually is. That was the sacrifice of the virgin to the Gods. Symbolism extended in all areas. Attack of a wild animal, again common symbolism throughout all legends, symbolizes the onslaught of confusion, of pain. Stabbing of the heart, was dispelling negativity and once again seeking the truth. So next time when you read your Bible, when you read your fables, when you read your modern literature examine it for symbols. Very often symbolizing is passed to you where even the author is not aware of what he or she has put down. Do you know that all stories on paper have been tried out up there…..yes! We have this wonderful group of writers, story-tellers, performers who get together in celestial realms and experiment on well-known themes. Yes, we actually put out our thoughts not on paper but in physical form, thought forms which then performers may experiment with so we can test it. Then for those who are on earth and are in league with us, we implant the idea. Where do you think inspiration comes from? And that little man, no judgement here, that little man has no idea where he got it from. And by that author publishing the work and passing it out into the world thousands of minds are opened. And those minds link with us and suddenly we have millions of collective friends. So next time you read a book and something touches off inside you, think of a friend!
