The New Light
Part 1: The Community of Love - by Sananda
In this series of articles Sananda writes about the qualities of light coming to Earth now and how we may use them for our enlightenment and for the planet. These articles are being published in Paradigm Shift magazine beginning in the May 2009 issue. For a free meditation with Sananda Welcome to the Community of Love go here.
Your joy is our concern. As you grow in joy our purpose is fulfilled. And so we ask of ourselves, how may we help your joy to grow?
For a long time we have watched the light that flows into the universe from the Source of All. We ourselves are of that light – and so are you. As we entered the Universe, all of us, we divided into our chosen roles and forms, and watched the light that followed after so that we might learn and grow.
Our love for you is growing as you grow, for you are a measure of our being. Watching the light that is now coming to Earth, our hearts are filled to overflowing. For this light comes through our hearts to you. Light that flows through us becomes us. We are made more by this light. So it is for you also. The light that is coming to Earth is bringing you more of yourself.
We watch and wait with joy. There is peace in our hearts as we watch you unfold to yourselves. Nothing can stop this process. When we first turned our attention to the Earth, humanity had not yet formed. You were an idea in the mind of God. Now that idea is moving towards fruition – the first fruit: there will be many seasons of fruit to follow this one.
The light that is coming to Earth changes all the time. It responds to you. In your age such a cry has gone out from the heart of humanity that it reverberates around the Universe still, and is heard. This cry has been opening your hearts and our hearts have responded. Your open hearts have been able to receive more light, and so our hearts have been able to bring you more.
You live in a moving Universe. Everything moves in relationship to everything else. The purpose of your emotions is to register this motion. You feel joy when you feel in harmony with your moving Universe. Now you are moving into a new volume of space and you are encountering new qualities of light. We have studied the light you are moving into. It is of incomparable beauty and this is an exciting time for you. Literally so, for the light excites the light already within you and prompts it to reveal more of itself in your lives. You are familiar with photosynthesis, watching how plants drink in the light and transform. You now are undergoing a similar process. The light is bringing you the transformation you seek.
But you are not like the plants. You cannot root yourselves in the soil and drink in the light. It is in your nature as beings to make innumerable choices and act upon them. How may you choose the actions that bring you the greatest joy? The choices that help you absorb the light in the way that is best for you? The beauty of the light is very great, but if you are to be joyful you need to be in right relationship with it. How is such right relationship to be found? It is a blessing of the light coming into your world now that it offers opportunities that were not evident before. It opens doors that were closed. It brings inspiration. We might almost say, it is inspiration, were it not also much besides.
We suggest you learn to breathe in this light; for this is the root meaning of inspiration. Learn to do this literally, breathing in light as you breath in air. You can learn to breathe in light through your crown or your third eye. Both these centres will direct light to your pineal gland, which is especially sensitive to light (though every part of your being is sensitive to light), and direct that light through your endocrine system, which enhances your general sense of well-being. You can also learn to breathe light to whatever part of your being is in need of it, whether that be an organ of your body, a memory of past hurt, a stuck pattern of thought or a younger self in confusion, doubt or fear.
Build your connection with the Sun, your primary source of physical light, and understand that this loving being is feeding you light from the Source of All in each moment. This light is modulated by the consciousness of the Solar Logos to meet your needs in every moment. Now you are beginning to understand how to shape the light you are given into the forms you need. You are at the very beginning of becoming conscious co-creators of your reality, and the light has come to help you with this.
The light is packed with information. You could think of information here as the potential to take on form. As you move into right relationship with the light more and more of this potential is revealed to you. Right relationship is not something you can calculate or figure with your mind. It comes from a deeper, intuitive knowing that is built into you, part of who you are. It comes from attending to each moment, to discover the gifts of the moment and finding the choices that make those gifts manifest as fully as you are able.
This is why your great spiritual teachers have always emphasised the importance of being in the present. For each present moment is a unique gift. If you respond to this moment with the response that was right for a past moment, you will not discover fully the gift of this moment now. Learn to be alert to what feels joyful for you in each moment.
So many gifts, such largesse, as are being brought to you by this light cannot readily be appreciated by you alone. You are designed for oneness. Your bodies give you the illusion of separateness, but it is not really who you are. (That is why I write to you as ‘we’. It is a more real term to us.) To experience yourself as separate is to lose much of the potential in each present moment. You might consider it like this: that to fully experience the wonder of each moment would overwhelm your individual self, and so you need to find some degree of oneness with the Universe in order to begin to enjoy the wonder fully.
More than anything else it is fear that has kept you separate. Yet it is the separateness that caused you to fear in the first place. Teach yourself that there is nothing in the Universe for you to fear. This can feel disingenuous when you live in a world where you know so many terrible things have happened. So much tragedy, so many heartaches. All born out of a belief in separateness. When you know the other is also you, you also know that the pain you cause another is your pain too, neither less nor more, and the habit of pain begins to leave. Learn that in all the Universe there is nothing for you to fear, for the Universe is you. And learn that there is nothing in you to fear either.
Love is what dissolves the boundaries created by separation. You have been opening your hearts to more love. Now is a wonderful time to use your opened hearts to create a Community of Love. All around the world are women, men and children whose good hearts are awakened and aware – and waiting. Waiting for an opportunity to serve, to make a difference in the world, to come together and light up the world with their love. You do not have to wait. Right now, as you read these words, you can know yourself as a member of the Community of Love.
Pause now. Draw in a breath to your heart. Know yourself as a beautiful being, beautiful beyond measure, for you are a unique expression of the Source of All made real. Feel your heart relax and open. Let your imagination reach out into the world around you, right out around the Earth. Sense all around other open hearts. Let your love flow to them, dozens, hundreds, thousands. Let their love come to you. Accept it. Take it into your heart. Let it add to the love already there. From this store of love let your love flow again. Find a perfect balance between giving and receiving, neither pushing, nor pulling. Now all these flows of love connecting you together become like the gently undulating surface of a sunlit ocean. This is the Community of Love.
You can learn to know yourself as part of the community in every moment, feeling its support and adding your love to it. Begin by opening your heart. Imagine that there is love all around you, all the time, wherever you are, for this is the truth. This love is the medium through which your own love connects with the open hearts of the Community of Love. Always believe yourself to be supported, for you are.
This network of love is very stable. It has not been present until now on the Earth plane. In part it has arisen out of your desire to leave behind the pain and sorrows of the past, in part those pains and sorrows are the soil out of which it has grown. This is what makes it new. It is born out of experience. Much experience, perhaps more than you realise, stretching back over long aeons. You as beings undertook to take on the intractability of misaligned energies and obdurate forms and to heal them with love. Many times your hearts have been almost swamped; you have felt overwhelmed by the size of the undertaking. But your hearts have stayed open, or opened again or anew, and are finding one another once more.
It is like waking from a long and troubled sleep and finding that it is a new day and the sun is shining. Let the old dreams fade away. Reach out and connect through your heart. Be a member of the Community of Love. Understand that what connects you is not gender or class or race or wealth or status or history or background or creed or religion, but an open and true heart. This Community of Love is made up of people from all around the world of every background and faith, of every status and history. There is no exam; all are eligible. All that is required is a true and open heart.
Sometimes your heart feels more open, sometimes less. This is natural: nothing is static. Don’t be concerned when your heart closes. Let it open again by learning to love the fear that has closed it. Draw upon the support that is offered you. Into the Community of Love pours love from the realms of light. It is always available to you.
The volume of love in your realm, the Earth plane, is growing. There is more than there was; but much of it is still occluded. Your role is to bring it into the light. The vibrations of love connecting you all with the Community of Love are growing stronger. One day they will reach an intensity that carries you into a new world. Really that new world is already here and you may glimpse it many times a day or spent stretches of time within it. But to be fully realised it must be shared by all. So you can help, in every moment of every day, by letting your love flow out to the Community of Love and then beyond to those who do yet know themselves as love, recognising the love in them so that they might know it too. The Community of Love is here to inherit the Earth. This is the next stage of human evolution and you are part of it. Your hearts are shaping a future of love and truth; and while your truth reveals this future to you, your love dissolves what has kept you separate from it.
Now a kind of fire is sweeping through your world burning up the old forms that kept love hidden. Think of it as the fire of love. Look into your heart and see there the sacred flame within. This sacred flame purifies and refines. Whatever within yourself you wish to transform, begin by taking it into your heart and letting it ignite with the sacred flame. It will be illuminated and made briefly more brilliant before being consumed. What does this mean? Simply that when you bring love to that within you for which you feel shame or doubt or pain or fear, first you will see it more clearly as you accept it for what it is. Then with that acceptance comes transmutation. The energy of which it is made takes on a new form that reflects and radiates more of the love which is your essence.
So it is in your outer world also. Learn to love all that is passing from your world. Accept it as it is: old forms that could not hold enough of the love of you who created them to carry on any further. Let the sacred flame of your hearts together lovingly transform them into the new forms that allow an ever fuller expression of your love.
