Guidance From Yusef: The Illusion

Posted on by

This may be a tough one for some.  Yusef says that the lives we’re living on this Earth are in essence, an illusion. Whoa! This life sure seems real.

203239_THE WHOLE CAST1To explain–what Yusef is saying is that we’ve taken on a body and a personality in order to play and learn and grow “in wisdom and knowledge” on the Earth.  The reality is that our Spirit/Soul Selves are just visiting here, and we are participating in a sort of Play, or Movie, that we have helped to write and are acting out. It’s obviously more complicated, but that’s the bottom line.

The Real You is acting out a script written by you and God. It is your life path, or God’s Will for you. And while it seems real, our true reality is that we are spirit beings just playing for a time in a human body.

Note: Yusef warns not to disturb people who “do not yet understand, whose reality is firm in the acting”.  The time isn’t right for them.  So, if you can’t wrap your head around the idea that what seems real may not be, then don’t worry.  Just skip this one.

(PS I welcome questions, comments and discussion. Barbara)

YUSEF:

The Earth experience is a choice planned for and chosen by each person.  And in the physical birthing the “true” self [Spirit/Soul]–who you really are–is obscured by the self necessary for survival on the Earth plane and in the illusion.

Thus obscured, the Soul Self remains hidden until “discovered” by the self living on the Earth.

Now the Soul, though seemingly hidden, is quite active, and is the main player so to speak–learning from and growing from the experiences of the actor-self who is living out the personality chosen.

When the term “illusion” is used it references the seeming reality which is actually not real.  The magician says it best.  What appears to be very real, is not.

Now, the illusion you are living out carries far more than entertainment value–although we would wish more found their lives entertaining. 

This illusion is set up, or put into play as it were, in order to experience, learn, and grow from it.  And the one growing is the “True Self”, the Soul–one with The Divine.

Enjoy the illusion.  It is best lived from the Soul Self with knowledge of the underlying reality.

Play on!

Guidance From Yusef: Our Life Circumstances

Posted on by
I have just come from saying goodbye to my niece, a remarkable woman who has made the transition from this life to her next adventure. Her life was well and fully lived in service of others, though not without tremendous physical suffering.

I know that before we come into this world we, with Divine help, choose the circumstances of our lives in order to accomplish the purpose set out for us.

Kelley chose a most difficult physical path, and it is hard to imagine that it was perfect for her, and yet I know this to be true.

Kelley taught us all during her 37 years. At her Memorial service we listened to a letter of condolence from President Bill and Hillary Clinton (for whom she worked), heard a US Congresswoman and the San Diego City Council President speak about Kelley, and heard touching and funny stories from those she shared her life with. I was moved by the impact she had on so many.

Could she have lived the same life, made the same impact, out of a wheelchair and without the ravages caused by MD and MS? According to Yusef it was all purposeful.

YUSEF:

Your purpose ALWAYS fits perfectly with the personality chosen for the lifetime. All has been carefully thought through to maximize the potential to accomplish the purpose(s) chosen.

The body you chose to inhabit was chosen for a purpose. It is your vehicle for attainment. You need this body and all that it is to attain your purpose for coming into this world, this lifetime.

The challenges you face in this body are growth producing. It is an instrument, enabling you to learn and grow. Nothing is coincidence. The challenge is to recognize the gift of present circumstance, and remain connected to the Source of Love.

Guidance From Yusef: Our Precious Resources

Posted on by

YUSEF:

imagesRegarding the state of your world,  the environment is changing rapidly.  This impacts in ways you cannot imagine.

The Earth, your home, is severely threatened.  It is of utmost concern and priority for humans.  Change what must be changed to conserve and preserve the resources necessary for life.  Here are the actions to take:

In the living of each day, all must raise their awareness regarding how resources are used–by each person.

The people of the Earth, in order to preserve and conserve what is necessary for life, must CHANGE the method of consumption of precious resources.

The thoughtless use of resources must be transformed to an honoring of that which the Earth produces.

Live in tune with the Earth.

Guidance From Yusef: A Conversation

Posted on by

A Conversation:

So, Yusef, what are we doing for Lent  Any suggestions??

We?

Sure.  We’re in this together.

You know it doesn’t work that way.

How does it work then?  Don’t partners help each other?

You don’t need our help.

I think I do.

You might think that at some level, but at another, you know exactly what to do.

What if I can’t see that level?

Let it rise up.

How do I do that?

Let go.  Quit trying.  Be silent and listen to yourself.  Trust.

So—let go of all control, all thinking….

Yep.

Yep?  Oh my, this is different.

We’re having a conversation now.  And since there is no difference between us then you are talking to your Self.

Ah ha!  Am I talking to my Soul?

In a sense, yes.  Since the Soul-You is a part of and connected intimately to All That Is, or God, then you are talking not only to your God-Self, but to all who are One with you.

So…we’re straying now from the original question.  Does my Soul-Self know what I could offer?

Your Soul Self knows what you have chosen to accomplish in this lifetime.  It knows the path you are on.  It does not concern itself with the details, the minutia of it all.  That is where the partnership with the human potential comes together with the purpose for the lifetime—both working together to pull it off.   Do not discount the gift of your humanness, the gift of your mind.   Together the Soul-You and the Human-You can work miracles, each contributing to bring to the world what is needed to evolve, and both the Soul and the World are blessed in a reciprocal interaction.

I think I see.  You’re not going to give me the direct answers.  That’s up to me—all of me.

Correct.  You’ve got it now.  Discover the wholeness of your Self and you will open the door to All That Is, the Source of All.

Guidance From Yusef: A Time of Peace Comes

Posted on by

Yusef has given us volumes on Light and Love and its importance for ourselves and for the world. But now he is showing us what the results of sharing it will be!

It is up to each of us to bring our Light of Love into the world–that will result in the Peace Yusef describes. Join me in making it our conscious mission for today and for this New Year:

To be more loving, more open to the Christ Light within, more hopeful, more accepting, more conscious of our Oneness with all that is, more AWAKE and AWARE. To look past the illusion that the world gives us to the true reality that is God With Us (Emmanuel).

I continue with The Coming Times predictions. This one excites me at the deepest level, thinking of the peaceful possibilities for our terribly troubled world.

YUSEF:

In the coming time is the PEACE that is already overwhelming those who have awakened. These will know great joy, and will build joy upon joy.  Peace will be the foundation from which will come:

  • first appreciation,
  • then gratitude,
  • then joy, and
  • overwhelming Love.

In that Love will the potential flower/blossom.   In that Love will a new era exist.  This era will move humanity forward in an evolution as yet unseen–exponentially beyond what has been known.

In that era will those awakened delight in generative activity, moving humankind forward. 

In that time will peace prevail.

In that time the children born will also move humankind forward in ways not seen before.

In that time will nations come together.  The world will indeed recognize that it is one community.

 The strong will be those seeking peace, greater communication, and openness to all cultures and peoples.

 

Guidance From Yusef: A New Era Dawns

Posted on by

images-24I bring in the New Year with a series of messages from Yusef that tell of an era of PEACE that is (potentially) coming.  This peaceful time depends, however, on all of us awakening to the understanding that we are LIGHT and LOVE–that we are all ONE in God.

Yusef is telling us in this message that we are powerful when connected to Source/God.  That the heavens have opened a window to pour out grace and help to the Earth.  It’s time to come together in “gratitude and awareness”.  It’s time to trust that we are “bigger” than our human nature, that we are indeed an expression of God upon this Earth.

We have each chosen to be on the Earth at this time–a very exciting time.  It is ours to be Love and Light today, aware and awake to the presence of God in every moment of our living.

YUSEF:

The old ways are dying.  Move forward—letting go of the old.  A new era dawns. 

This is a time for gratitude and awareness.  The Earth community MUST recognize the ONENESS.  It is beneficial to work toward oneness.  In this coming together many will be saved.  In the coming together is the power needed.

Remember LOVE is the greatest power, the direct connection to Source/All/One.  LOVE.  Open hearts.

We speak now of the potential of humanity evolving ever forward.  In joy do we speak of this.  As the trees evolve from a tiny seed so also is the potential of humankind capable of great evolution.  Windows are opening for this to occur. 

Coming together assists in this movement forward.  Those unable to make the leap will require assistance.  Thus is it important that all voices be heard.  Ringing out with truth–each to each resounding into the Universes.

The heavens are opening that information might flow back and forth.  Information includes love and assistance as well as direct communication.  The portals are available as never before.  This is necessary to save humanity and the Earth.  The connections are intimate.

The power inherent in each living thing speaks to the Source of all, All That Is. This power, potential in many yet untapped and unrealized, is more than you could ever imagine.  The extent of YOU is beyond measure, extending into space and time in ways and lengths you cannot imagine in the current time bound and space bound existence you exist in.  In remembering who you are you have a small sense of this power.  And yet once sensed, it is often rejected as impossible, not real, too frightening.  It is rationalized away as you say.

We speak of this power at this time because it will be critical to access the potential that is you. 

Guidance From Yusef: You are Soul

Posted on by

Yusef, The Teacher, tells us to try to live out of our Soul nature rather than our Ego. Easy to say, difficult to do. But the results are MORE than worth it!

Yusef:

As you give your Soul more authority while in the human state, you open to the unlimited Source of All That Is. It is simple–a step, a turn. It is only difficult because of the power you have already given Ego. Why do you give your life over to an ILLUSION–to something other than YOU?

YOU are SOUL–that which is, was, and will always be YOU. Let go gently of the captor of the Self, the ego. You will not die. You will continue to live–free of the bonds that have captured you and directed your living.

Once the Soul is embraced, you will wonder how you could have lived in bondage of body, mind, and Spirit for so long.

And a personal note:  I encourage you to “Like” the page I have started for Yusef, Guidance From Yusef on Facebook. I am posting shorter versions of this blog there–even though this one is the same. 🙂  Perhaps these messages of love and hope will reach others there. Thanks for your continued support! Love to all, Barbara

Guidance From Yusef: The Birth of the Ego

Posted on by

Well, this is a BIG ONE—at least to me.  Yusef tells us how the Human EGO began.  He tells us that humanity was quite peaceful once. It was “a time of great and wondrous experience of life in the physical—Spirit experiencing the physical”.  But the simplest concept of “more and less” was introduced onto the Earth.  Then, in order to gain “more” and protect against “less”, humans developed a protective mechanism, the Ego, that separated us from each other.

images-5When I think of how simple it was to spiral a joyful, loving, peaceful community into the illusion of separateness that turned neighbor against neighbor, I am astonished and saddened.  Wow!  We have had eons of waging war to gain “more” and protect against “less”, but at last we are awakening to the notion that we are all in this together, and that peace is again a possibility for humanity.

YUSEF:

This is a teaching on EGO.

This aspect of the human experience was necessary for the preservation of humanity when it shifted from a peaceful existence to other than peace.

Forces intruded into the physical to make it aware of ‘more and less’.  The simple concept of ‘more and less’ set into motion the whole range of ego response that looks like what is found in your world today.

Now this is very real.  A [seemingly] needed protection, though the “need” was faulty and an illusion, turned humanity away from the joy and peace it knew and toward the many “dualities” present in your world.

The time of peace in your physical world was very real.  A time of great and wondrous experience of life in the physical–Spirit experiencing the physical.  What a wondrous thing!!!

Now this protective aspect that arose during the illusion of need became itself—reveling in its own power.  Clinging and nourishing its power with degrees of duality in the physical world.

Those more open to it used it to become seemingly more “powerful” and thus the illusion continued and grew stronger. Humanity was susceptible/vulnerable to the influence suggesting ‘more and less’.  A simple idea that contaminated the peace that existed then.

 

Guidance From Yusef: Pay Attention. Be Light for Others

Posted on by

Yusef begins this message reminding us that God is with us.  So often in our busy and often stressed lives we lose sight of that fact.  We think we are going it alone, that there are no other resources available to us.

Yusef says that there are dark forces on the Earth that we need to pay attention to, but at the same time to remember that we are LIGHT and there is nothing to fear.  God is with us always. That might be hard to remember for those who have lost a job, or declared bankruptcy, or are experiencing an illness, or are still cleaning up after a “superstorm” weather event.

It is in the darker times that we can look to those who continue to trust and shine their LIGHT through the darkness for us all to see.  They give us all HOPE!  They remind us that we, too, are children of the light.

Shine on through whatever you are experiencing today!  Remember you are LIGHT, connected to the Source and Power of Love, and you are never alone. We have God’s assurance that the “power of LOVE prevails”.

YUSEF:

The warnings have been given.  Pay attention to that which you know.  God is One.  All are of God.  God is All.  In all the Universes, in all the ‘places’, in all the heavens, God IS.  The power and wonder are beyond the beyond.  And yet God Is.  In Love, Light and merciful Goodness, God is.

Yet there are forces beyond the goodness.  Beware the darkness.  Remain in the Light.  Sense keenly when darkness nears.  Fear nothing, yet be aware.  Eliminate any inkling/semblance of fear.  The power of Love prevails.

images-3The world darkens before the Light may pierce its force.  And yet Light is the visible sign of Love present.  Light cuts through the darkness and shines upon the contrasting dark. 

The darkness allows the Light to be seen by those who need encouragement to remember the Light.

Thus is love, ofttimes a tiny spark, yet that spark shining forth is unstoppable if allowed to “beam” forth.

Guidance From Yusef: The Coming Times—Maintain Hope

Posted on by

Unknown-1In 2009 I received this message.  Yusef speaks of the chaos on Earth that is still occurring today, 4 years later.  But he speaks of “another movement, stronger yet“, a movement toward awakening to the reality that we are children of Love and Light.  Those who can hold the Light of hope and love in the midst of the chaos all around the globe, will help usher in the “NEW DAY” that Yusef tells us is coming.

YUSEF:

Out of the chaos, conflict and horror now increasingly present on your Earth will come a NEW DAY. This ushers in a peace that will span many years.

Now is a tenuous time as this age moves forward in chaos. Another movement, stronger yet, is growing and will move forward.  This will be evident to those who can see.  There is no need to put forth effort other than what you are currently doing.

Nowhere is God not present.  Always helpers are ready to assist.  Fortunate are those open to that aid.

The chaos will not prevail.  The caution, however, is to remain in hope and confident in love.  This will prevail.  Confidence may wane in some as they are swayed by what seems to be reality.  Remind all that this is not true reality.  The helpers are present.  Look to the helpers for comfort/solace, for direction, for hope.  Maintain hope.  images-2Hope in the face of what appears to be no hope.  Thus will the portals of assistance be opened—with hope and sure confidence that One, Love, is present.

Stay open.  Speak truth.  Show compassion.  Remember Home.
