Guidance From Yusef: Choose LOVE

Posted on by

YUSEF:
In ALL things, LOVE. There are no exceptions to this. There are always choices, but the truest and most beneficial is to choose LOVE.  

How does Loving work in the midst of the turmoil of human life and human emotions? Simply choose LOVE. Above all else.

First Love God, and yourSelf as an expression of God. Then Love all else–persons and creation–ALL.

What does LOVE look like on the Earth? What is the action of Love?

“Love” can seem a vague or ambiguous word when it comes to action in your world since the LOVE required by the Heavens is not the love of your movies and television. Love is strength. Love is courage. LOVE in action, as you say, is deep…

  • appreciating
  • accepting
  • finding joy in/rejoicing in
  • caring for
  • showing compassion
  • having courage
  • forgiving
  • understanding
  • standing up for

Love is action that comes from the depth of Heart–your connection to the Heavens–and has great strength and power. When you are acting from that deep connection you are indeed sharing your divinity through your humanness. God is present in your actions.

It would be well to apply these and other actions similar to these in your life. Let your heart first open to the Heavens/God, and then let it lead you through action. 

Choose LOVE in ALL.

Guidance From Yusef: Knowings

Posted on by

And for today–some random “Knowings” from Yusef to us. Just sharing as it comes to me…. 🙂

YUSEF:

Vibrational frequency opens doors or closes them. The higher your frequency, the “higher” the doors that open to you.

Sickness is a state of mind visited upon the body.

There are many “places” in the Universe.

Universal Laws are inviolate.

Guidance From Yusef: On Truth

Posted on by

This message is one of the “Knowings”–messages that are short, somewhat poetic statements. They come to me with a sense of authority and carry deep meaning.

YUSEF:

Each one has their own TRUTH.
There is no Universal Truth other than LOVE.
Truth resides within each Soul.
The seed of Love/Truth is within each, yet each Soul “knows” it in its own way.
As LOVE grows, the Soul’s vibration increases.

Guidance From Yusef: What does your Soul desire?

Posted on by

Barbara: I sat down to write a little message from Yusef today, but that evidently is not what is happening here. I’d like to share a bit of my own story today.

2016 started off with two things for me–the first was a clear “knowing” that it would be an important year for me. The second was an onset of the doldrums. You know, that “stuck” place–that what am I supposed to do next place; that I just can’t put one foot in front of the other place. And even, that “where is God?” place. That was my month of January.

Then I woke up early one morning last week and entered into a lovely meditation. When I finished I knew I had to call a wise friend to see if I could get on her busy schedule that day. Now this is unlike me. I usually talk myself out of asking for help. Not this time. I emailed her that I was “stuck”. She knew what that meant and fortunately made time in her day for me.

After we met and spent some time together I came away renewed, with a much lighter step. She helped me to see that my Soul was eager for JOY!!! What a beautiful revelation!!

Now I have direction. Now I know that JOY is my Soul’s purpose for 2016! I know that joy will be the filter for all that I do. My Soul’s intent is joy, so…all my feelings, beliefs, thoughts, and actions must go through the filter of joy. If I can’t find JOY in what I do, say, feel, think, or believe, then I must refocus. This is my Soul Path, the “will of God” for me at this time. Joy is who I am.

Now this may sound happy and well, joyful, but I am beginning to understand that being accountable for my own joy may mean some disruption in the norm of my life. I suspect that it may be harder than I can see right now. I realize that making choices based on my inner Soul joy might be different for me–I often do things to please others first.  It might mean I will make changes in my life–changes in what I do, changes in relationships perhaps. That is generally what the Soul calls us to–change and growth. Not always the easiest path.

This year I will align with the desire of my Soul–Joy! One day, one decision, one choice at a time.

What does your Soul ask of you this year?

Blessings of Love and Soul Light, Barbara

 

Guidance From Yusef: Did Jesus have an Ego?

Posted on by

With some trepidation I offer this discourse. It may confuse some, put some at ease, and cause others to wonder. Perhaps it depends on each one’s understanding of the word “Ego.” Jesus showed us that we can be human with an ego that serves us rather than controls us and separates us from the Father.

Yusuf, did Jesus have an Ego?
Excellent question. It is a ‘stumper’ as you say. If we say yes then the model of Jesus as one who lived out of his Soul, or True Self/God, is damaged. If we say no then how could Jesus have been truly human?

Pause to consider why Jesus incarnated. Jesus, the Master, incarnated to offer the world a new way of BEING, a new ‘paradigm’ as you say, a new covenant. Jesus showed a relationship with God AS God to be possible in the human. The True Self IS the Soul, and is egoless. The ego exists only in the human. Jesus was Soul-conscious, that is, as a human he lived as his True Self (Soul) within the Human condition a greater percentage of the time than any before or after. It was during the Great Temptation [40 days in the desert], that he put his ego “in its place” as you say.

When we speak of EGO we speak of that uniquely human aspect that seeks to control the circumstances of life and sees itself as separate from the Father. This aspect was absent in Jesus as he sought only to do the bidding of the Father and did not know any separation from the Father. That was impossible for Jesus. Jesus and the Father were One on the Earth and in the Heavens.

Jesus DID have human emotion–tears and even anger–yet these were not of the ego which blocks relationship and oneness with the Father.

Jesus expressed his humanity through the ‘True Self’ of Spirit/Soul, One with God, having already dispelled the temptation to assume the False Self of ego.

So, in the end perhaps the answer to this question is “yes and no” depending on your definition of the term ‘ego’.  Jesus was for us a model of one who was “fully human and fully divine,” thus Jesus’ human Ego served him in his humanity rather than separated him from the Father. It is a lesson I am going to ponder these “40 days” of Lent.

 

Guidance From Yusef: On Mercy

Posted on by

Pope Francis has declared this year to be a Holy Year of Mercy. And so I asked the Heavens about Mercy. Here is the response from two different dictations that I have merged. I received one on 11/30/2015 and the second on 1/11/2016.

YUSEF:
 
Mercy is the face of God. God’s name is Mercy. Mercy is Love flowing freely without judgment or condition. It is the pervasive action that is contained within Love. It is greater than acceptance, yet that is a part. It is greater than forgiveness, yet that is a part.
 
Mercy IS Love. You call it Mercy because you require/need the aspects of both acceptance AND forgiveness as Humans. Thus Love becomes what each one needs to generate the Love response in the relationship between man and God.
 
Thinking of God as separate-from brings forth the sense of “bestowal” or giving of Mercy. This is upside down. Mercy is the flow of Love where previously Love had been blocked. Mercy is not bestowed; it is received.
 
Mercy is the result of/outflow of Love. It is within Love—naturally, effortlessly. An aspect or color within the rainbow of Love. Or a chord within the music of Love which when heard gives the hearer the sense, the tone that it needed to hear.
 
Mercy is termed Mercy by the receiver, not the giver.  Mercy alleviates a fear, reconnects a disconnected relationship, soothes the sorrowing, slips in through the spaces between the barriers erected. The feeling of mercy is actually the removal of the barrier that prevents the flow of Love.
 
Think of the feelings associated with Mercy—a sense of relief, of expunged guilt. A wiping away. A generosity of forgiveness or absolution. These you recognize as human terms and human feelings.
 
When you are merciful toward one another you give of yourself—freely, accepting of another, loving them fully and without condition.
 
The Giver can know no distinction or terminology. The Giver knows only Love with all the
…threads in it’s fabric,
…notes in it’s song,
…hues in it’s color.
 
Love is the fabric and song and color of the Universal Divine God.

Guidance From Yusef: Love Counters the Darkness

Posted on by

I have been so terribly SAD because of the actions of the terrorists in the world these days—just sad to the core. I can also feel the fear of my neighbors and friends. Yusef has said that the Earth is “darkening” but he tells us we must continue to love. This I know—love and fear cannot co-exist in the same moment. And it takes great courage to TRUST and have faith in a loving Divine presence with the reality of the violence in the world right now. But it is time for each of us to access that place of faith and trust and send out Love and Light to all those suffering on the Earth.

YUSEF:

We tell you now that the difficulties are worsening. The darkness of fear covers the Earth. Not just the fear that you are aware of—from those being threatened and killed by others—but also the fear of those fleeing their homeland and many others. 

You would like answers and direction for your actions. LOVE—where you are and the best you can. In that loving your Light will shine out. Do nothing to dim your Light. This is most important.

Take action if action calls you. But if the only action you can take is prayer, realize that this is a great gift—perhaps the most healing for the world. Let your prayer go out to all the suffering in the world, both the “terrorist” and those suffering at the hand of the terrorist. Especially offer prayer for those governing. They are in great need of such now.

Love. In every instance. Look for the opportunities in all you do, in each moment of your life. Send/offer each one love. Let love guide your thoughts, words, and actions. You do not realize its power.

We are with you.

 

Guidance From Yusef: Stepping Stones

Posted on by

(From June 2015) YUSEF:

In the world the distractions are many. This is purposeful—chosen by you so that you can find the “narrow” way through the obstacle-like course of this life.

There are the temptations, each specific to each one [person]. These come to all and are opportunities for growth. There is no one that escapes their own temptations. Though difficult, these are almost the stepping stones to glory/evolvement/soul growth.

The path in general must be discovered but when the way is shown, those ready may find it a help in their journeying.

Thus some of the steps are these:

  • Recognition of SELF beyond the self of the Earth
  • Awareness that things of the Earth, while valuable in the physical, do not matter
  • Awareness of the ego
  • An understanding of the connectedness and value of ALL beings
  • An aliveness, a sense of being awakened from a sleep—a new understanding that is difficult to articulate. It is beyond words.
  • Cessation of judgment
  • Desire to serve

These are some of the many signs on the path through this lifetime that will indicate movement forward.

 

Guidance From Yusef: Attachment to Things

Posted on by

YUSEF:

Render all that you have and all that you are to God. Thus when acknowledging that all you are and all you have belongs to ALL (God) you are ‘thinking’ from your Soul.

Possession, or ownership, is an artificial construct coming from a human need to control. It is out of FEAR that you gather—some to extremes [hoarding]. 

Be ready to let EVERYTHING go—to let all THINGS be as nothing. When you are ATTACHED to nothing then you can HAVE it all, yet own it not.

When the human nature begins to take ownership—this is MINE, therefore it cannot be YOURS—barriers are constructed between people. These barriers seem very real but they are not real. Nothing can be actually “owned.” It is an impossibility. 

But it seems real.

You live in the world of THINGS, made of matter that can be physically perceived through the senses. In actuality that matter holds together quite tenuously and can disassemble or rearrange in a nano second, as you say. (I am reminded here of those who have lost everything in fire or flooding or earthquake or other natural disasters.)

The lesson is clear. Enjoy all things. Appreciate all things. Attach to no things. Retain what you need for the life you are living, for what enriches your Soul and the lives of others. You will have things for your use. OWN them not. They may remain with you, but they do not BELONG to you. ATTACH not to them.

Guidance From Yusef: Your Divine Nature

Posted on by

YUSEF:
All things are possible. Let go of any doubts you carry. God is not stagnant, does not stop growing. God is expansion and growth. Let go of that which keeps you bound to Earthly understandings and begin to KNOW and REMEMBER who you are—a Divine Child of (God) the Universe.

The term “Divine” is the stumbling block for some, causing thoughts of unworthiness for those who believe themselves to be only human.

The Spirit within—your true Self—is a part of God. In that relationship you are a part of the “Divine” nature—the YOU that is Spirit/Soul.

The Human nature is a magnificent construct that allows such amazing growth opportunities. It is a gift and opportunity like none other to be in the human physical existence. (Do not judge those walking on difficult paths in their humanity. They have chosen the harder part.)

Walk in your Divinity as much as your Humanity. Choose to make your divine nature integral in your human nature. In that all the world and the Heavens are blessed. In that the Light of Christ shines out.
