Guidance From Yusef: Not Knowing

Posted on by

Barbara

I am more than aware of the wonder of what is NOT KNOWN.

Bigger—and so much MORE than the known.

So foolish to think there is a chance of understanding.

Words mean nothing at the heart of it. Words from the thinking mind attempting to make sense when there is no sense to be made.

This not alone in reaction to recent events, but a pervading truth. That ‘sense’ is made at a level beyond my human understanding. That this human dance has purpose.

There is comfort in that. A confident trust that LOVE is yet the greater.

This allows my heart to open to what is held in silent knowing—the beyondness that words cannot touch.

Guidance From Yusef: A Dangerous Time

Posted on by

Greetings to all. This message has a tone that feels serious and important to me. I share it with you now because you, the readers of this blog, are awake. But it is becoming more difficult for you and me to stay focused on love and light as the world darkens.

We are only asked to do what we do—love those around us, care for those who need us, stay positive in our word and action, pray or meditate or do whatever it is you do to connect with the Divine, and continue to bring Light into this darkening world.

YUSEF: Humans have begun to have their attention and awareness clouded. There is so much negativity on the Earth that it is consuming time, attention, and energy. It is easy to distract.

The messages coming from this negativity take so much energy that there is not enough energy left to focus in a more positive direction. These are signs. Signs to cause great concern.

Many are being lulled to sleep now. They are losing the ability to see the way clearly. Hypnotized by evil. It comes in a way that is difficult to see as such. 

AWAKEN!! Look to those pointing in another direction. Pray, meditate, keep your focus on care for others, compassion, love, joy, and hope. These will bring your energy and vibration back to the Light. This will help you and the world to see more clearly. Remain in the Light!

This is a dangerous time. Be cautious. Evil is having its day. Continue to be mindful of what comes through your gate. Raise your antennae, as you say, to be able to discern good from evil. Your focus must remain on Love.

The Angels and all the Heavens are here to assist.

Guidance From Yusef: Love is still in charge

Posted on by

Today I long for SILENCE–a respite from the noise of the world.

But I can’t stop writing. I can’t stop recognizing the JOY of being human.

Interesting in a week when joy seems to be lost somehow. Yet I know in the depth of me, that “All shall be well. All shall be well. All manner of thing shall be well.” (Julian of Norwich)

I also know that we may go through hell to get there.

But God’s ways are not our ways. And the un-knowing of God’s ways gives me great comfort.

It tells me that though there be hellish, inhumane violence in the world, that LOVE is still in charge.

Allowing us to act like fools–treating each other as if we were not the other also.

The Heavens wince.

Guidance From Yusef: Vibration and Frequency

Posted on by

In a few paragraphs Yusef tells us of the importance of growing in Love and thus increasing our vibrational frequency. (Love, Acceptance, Compassion, Caring, Joy, etc. have very high frequencies). He also tells us that our Soul’s frequency determines ‘where’ we go when we leave the Earth. The ‘where’ can be called Heaven, or whatever term you are comfortable using.

It may seem confusing but you might think of what some tell the children–that each act of Love is building your Mansion in heaven. :)) That is an over-simplification, but there are similarities.

YUSEF:

There is much to share. We tell of Earth and the challenges of living the Human life, and we tell of the boundless wonders of the Highest Heavens. Now we speak of the “between” as you say. The places between Earth and the Highest Heavens.

The ‘where’ that we speak of is dependent on the vibration of the Spirit/Soul. There are many ‘places’ in the Heavens. Some would seem like ‘Heaven’ and some ‘Hell’, as you say, depending on the Soul’s frequency.

Now, when a soul incarnates it is already vibrating at a frequency attained from previous growth in the Heavens and previous lifetimes on the Earth. Thus the lifetime chosen is already influenced by that vibration and the Life Plan has been constructed considering the Soul’s vibrational frequency.

When the Soul migrates from Earth it will return to its vibrational match in the Heavens. The Soul will recognize Home, yet it will have also changed/grown from the lifetime. 

It is important to grow in Love in this lifetime and thus increase the frequency of the Soul’s vibration while on the Earth plane. We are here to assist.

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: 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: 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.

Guidance From Yusef: A Portal Opening

Posted on by

Barbara:

There is an opening from the Heavens at this time (a portal) that offers us all Grace, encouragement, and help for our personal Soul growth. That’s the REALLY good news. When God offers all the heaven’s help to us it is an extraordinary gift.

The maybe not-so-great news is that in order to take advantage of this opportunity we need to look at the barriers we have put up to God. You know, the parts of ourselves that we deny, or hide, or ignore so that we don’t have to face them. Things such as jealousy, greed, dishonesty, lack of forgiveness, self-centeredness, lack of trust, possessiveness, anger, prejudice, etc. Or the part of us that believes we are not worthy to be loved by God. 

We are being offered the opportunity and the help to face our faults, heal old wounds, let go of judgment, move from criticism to compassion, make adjustments to our thinking and our actions, and change what no longer benefits our Souls.

This is a new beginning, a recalculating, a redirecting of our lives in order to move closer to God. It is an opportunity to pay attention to what our Souls need.

Actually if you choose to accept this mission…it may be the hardest work you’ve ever done because it involves facing the parts of yourself that aren’t so pretty, and acknowledging that they really are a part of you. It’s forgiving yourself, and allowing those barriers to come down so that you can move on to be the BEST VERSION of YOURSELF.

No one knows how long this portal of GRACE will be open. I’ve missed some portals in my life, so if you want to move closer to God, now is the time to join me and do your inner work. We will all have all the help we need from God.

But WARNING: it takes COURAGE to really look at ourselves. And once we commit to that task, all of our ‘stuff’ (see above) WILL show up. When it does, send it love, say good-bye to it, and let it go. Forgive yourself and others and move forward.  Life is ever so much brighter and happier when the barriers to God’s love come down! 

Blessings to all!

 

Guidance From Yusef: The Nothingness of Silence

Posted on by

Barbara: This one is full of wisdom, and encourages us again to go into silence in order to meet God there. It is counterintuitive to we humans to think of God as being in the “nothingness,” but remember that NOTHINGNESS is EVERYTHING that is.

YUSEF:

In the midst of the noise find silence. It is there—to be sought, cherished, clung to. For in the silence is One and Oneness. In the silence is All, and All’s nothingness. The paradox is that in the no-thingness is All That Is (God).

Greet the nothingness with open arms—embracing the unseen reality. Embrace it. Enter into it willingly, joyfully, dancing with gleeful surrender.

Fall into the lovingness of All That Is (God). Be energized therein to return to the Earth’s human state. Each time you return you will be changed, bringing back a new vibration to enrich Earth.

Do we GO somewhere?

There is no “going” and no “somewhere,” yet in your humanness we recognize the need to understand this.

Indeed the Soul “travels” to that which is beyond human understanding. And yet there is no movement to, or away from. There is merely THERE or IS or BEING. A shift takes place that is a different state of awareness beyond your human consciousness. It is true “communion” with God.

It is in this state we meet you in the fullness of All That Is. Is it here that Soul connects to Soul. 

Guidance From Yusef: Reading Books on Spirituality

Posted on by

I am a reader of books—mostly books on spirituality these days. For those of you, like me, who are “fed” by reading, here is a little reminder from Yusef that I got recently. Perhaps it is a reminder for you as well. 🙂

YUSEF:
Reading books may stimulate something within where connections are made, but reading books does not have the same benefit as the experience of the UNION found in SILENCE.

The content of books may be remembered and quoted, but the
experience of COMMUNING WITH GOD MOST HIGH,
where there are no words spoken or remembered,
is of greater benefit than all the books in the world.

There is no comparison.

Read your books if you choose but also make time to experience the PRESENCE OF GOD in silence.
