Guidance From Heaven: We Asked For It

Posted on by

Yusef tells us today that we have asked for everything that comes into our lives.  That may be hard to believe in some circumstances–quite hard. How can all the “bad” things be from God, and requested by us?

You may find yourself fighting against some life circumstances, feeling sorry for yourself about others, or resisting the people and events that life brings you. But if you remember that this is the Earth School and our Souls have come here to learn and grow, then you may begin to look at what each day brings in a different way.

We are all asked to pay attention to what life brings us, without judgment about its goodness or badness.  It is all at our Soul’s request.

YUSEF:images-11

Begin this day and every day with thanksgiving–gratefulness for whatever circumstances or situations present themselves in your living that day.

There is nothing that comes into your life that you have not in some way requested from God.

The request is seldom verbal and may not even be a conscious (thought) request from you. Rather, it comes from deep within you as a part of the Plan your Soul designed with God before you came into this world.

ALL that enters your life–whether it be events, people, or physical manifestations [things]–ALL are your Soul’s intention.

Let us explain further.

Your requests follow the Plan prepared by you and God. Thus is this Plan the design of your Soul.

The designs (Plans) of the Souls on Earth serve a multitude of purposes that are hidden during the lifetime. Far too complex for your concern. The important thing to note, as you say, is that everything and everyone in your life is there at your conscious or unconscious request.

It is all there for you to first experience, and then to respond to. Things are not just happening “to” you. You have asked that they happen to teach you what you came here to learn.

The more conscious and aware you are of this, the greater the learning and growth will be.  The visible evidence of this growth will be the peace and acceptance you feel with all that life brings to you.

However, if the circumstances and people in your life at this time are no longer of benefit to you, you have the power to make the changes that will bring you greater inner peace. The entire Universe/God will support all your desires/requests.

“Bad, or unwanted experiences, are only what we call experiences whose part in our growth and integration we do not yet understand. The minute we understand that ALL experiences enrich our life because they all cause learning and growth, no experience is seen as bad.” Teal Swan

 

 

 

Guidance From Yusef: Three Injunctions

Posted on by

It has been many years since Yusef first gave me what I call the Three Injunctions. (Dictionary def of injunction: An authoritative warning or order.)

They came out of nowhere, as Yusef’s messages often do. They were very clear and authoritative, but came with no further explanation or instruction.  I guess I was supposed to understand them right away, but I must confess that it has taken me years to learn their meaning for my life.

There are only six words, but they are very powerful and life changing and I share them now with you.

The Three Injunctions:

Pay Attention

The Divine speaks through every person, event, circumstance, and place in your life.  Nothing is coincidence.  Once God has your attention you can receive the messages of love and guidance the Heavens have to offer you.

See Differently

Get past the filters of bias, prejudice, and the old stories you carry from childhood and religious teachings in order to see every person, event, place, etc. through the eyes of the Soul.

See without judgment of any kind.  See only with compassion, wisdom, understanding, and love.

Take Nothing

How many possessions/things do you need?  How many do you want?  How many can you live without?

What stories, or hurts, or memories from the past are you still carrying with you?

Let go of the past.  Let go of what no longer serves you.

NOTE:  These six words have been a guide for my soul growth, but their depth and meaning must be discovered by each person within their own life.  I wish you blessings on your journey!

 

 

 

Guidance From Yusef: How to Move from Ego to Soul

Posted on by

For those wishing to live more from your Spirit/Soul–here is some advice from Yusef.

  1. It is willingness that opens the door.
  2. It is desire that accelerates growth.
  3. It is effort that bears results.
  4. It is discipline that maintains the focus.
  5. It is silence that allows communion [with Source/The Father].

And I would also add my Earthly voice…. The Soul is who you truly are.  Let go of what is NOT Soul.  Just as Michelangelo chipped away at the marble stone to reveal the “David” within it, so you can chip away at your human ego to reveal your Soul within.

Let go of Ego–that part of you that is concerned, worried, anxious, angry, frustrated, impatient, and controlling. That is so difficult in our busy human lives, because ego is what we know best.  But read again what Yusef says.  Be willing to see; desire to see.  Then make the following effort….

Stand beside yourself and NOTICE what you are doing or feeling, OBSERVE how you are talking, what you are afraid of, what your concerns are. DO NOT JUDGE any of your behaviors or feelings, just observe them. i.e. Some examples:  Oh, wow, listen to me saying that.  Or, Ooh, I seem to be really angry about that.  Or, Look at me working so hard to control this situation. Or, Ouch, I think that hurt my pride.

The you that is standing beside, noticing, is your Soul Self.  The more you practice this discipline, the more you will be living from your Soul Self.  You will begin to be more and more uncomfortable in the ego and realize that the ego self is NOT YOU!  And you will shift more often and more easily into Soul/Spirit thinking, feeling, and acting.

Then as much as you are able, sit in silence from your Soul and just BE with God.

Oh, this just makes me want to jump for joy!!

Love, Barbara

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: 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: 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: The Coming Times—A New Era

Posted on by

In Oct  of 2008 I received this message that is still relevant for today.  There is one thing about heavenly guidance—we are not given an exact time frame.  We have a need as humans to know the time frame for these things, but in Heaven there is no time.  We can recognize, however, that the words in this message were true in 2008 and are still true today.

 YUSEF: 

The world is on a precipice.  Decisions are imminent.  The outcomes determine the future of the Earth.  We come to share love and LIGHT with those of Earth.  We come to remind people of the power of LOVE, the direction of LIGHT.

The Universe shares in the physical experiences.  Emanations coming from Earth at this time warn of potential for catastrophic events.  “Percolating” is a close concept.  The Earth’s emanations reveal a negative percolating.

Now we join with many in bringing the presence of Love to the Earth plane awareness.

Thus enters in a new era.  Thus will the earth be blessed as many AWAKEN.

And out of the midst, ONE.

Coming forward now is the time beyond understanding when many will seek that which is beyond understanding.  Seeking to move forward, many will come.  Welcome these with open arms of love. The souls seeking at this time are being called [by God] to awaken.   

 

 

 

Guidance From Yusef: The Light is Dimming

Posted on by

I’m back!  Thanks to some of you who mentioned that you missed these messages coming into your inbox.

The messages over the next several posts will offer guidance on what I call, “the coming times”.  I began receiving these messages in 2007. They indicated even then that we will be experiencing difficult times on the Earth. As the headlines in the news media indicate, and as we all know, this has already begun.

Yusef does tell it like it is, but instead of fear and doom, what I felt when receiving the messages was a rather joyful sense as he spoke of the Angels that were already here and others who were coming to help.  I felt a confidence that we could overcome the darkness with all the help that was being offered.  Yusef also mentioned a “great awakening” that was taking place and it was this idea that inspired within me a sense of urgency to participate in that.

Remember what Yusef has said.  We need fear nothing.  We are all LIGHT!  We have each chosen to come into the world at just this time for a reason.  So shine on!

YUSEF:

Unknown2007:  The Light is dimming.  Not of course the Source of the Light, but the Light visible from above the Earth.  Dark forces.  The Angels have been sent and are among you.  The Angels are powerful in their ability to assist.  Yet not all can see or hear Angels or other attempts to assist. 

So many [in the Universe] are ready to assist.  Assistance has been offered. (Another indication of the reason for the joy you sense in this communication and the task).

“Time” grows nigh.  Action must be taken.  Those on the planet you occupy in the current incarnation are not open to communication and thus are not aware of the truths of the concepts we share. 

We yearn to awaken many that they might be aware of the brightness that is theirs.

Thus it will begin, this task, to move forward.  Blessings to clear the darkness of the Earth.
