The New Light

Part 5: Blessings of the New Light

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 were  first published in Paradigm Shift magazine.

Joy Unfolding

You are growing beautifully and naturally.  New qualities of light are entering your reality now and tending to accelerate that natural process of growth.  In part the light helps you by bringing your greater consciousness.  As you grow in consciousness your growing becomes less a process of trial and error and more under your conscious control.  To put it another way, it becomes easier for you to make the choices that bring joyful outcomes. This is why we, your guides and teachers on the inner planes, are suggesting to you that the new light entering your reality has as its purpose the bringing of joy.

Joy can come to you gradually and steadily, like the dawning of a new day, or it can come in bursts, like the sun emerging from behind a cloud bank.  You experience joy in both ways, the gradual and the sudden, and each is a form of blessing.  As you read you might like to imagine or sense the ways in which joy is released from within your being by the light flowing into your reality.

Imagine light moving like a tide into your world.  The light is alive and loved into being by the Source of All.  On its way from the Source it gathers to it innumerable beautiful presences, angels and other highly evolved beings of light. They accompany it and ‘sing’ to it an endless song that interweaves with the light and begins to shape or translate this Divine Light for particular places and purposes.

Part of this song is created out of their response to the joy that exists at the core of your being and their recognition of all that must transform or be released for you all to know and  express that joy fully.  So that when that incoming tide reaches you and touches you, there is an instant recognition. The seed of joy within you stirs and reaches toward the light.

You have protected the seed of joy through the dark times, and even when the light touches it there can be a resilience to its outer casing.  How hard it has been to protect your joy through the winter!  How much energy has been expended in keeping the cold of rejection, disappointment. pain and fear at bay!  So it is not surprising if the instincts of caution, mistrust and doubt linger on, reluctant to give up their role as guards of all that is most precious to you.

‘Can the night really be over?’ these inner voices ask.  Encourage them to listen and to watch within.  Just as dawn comes with a slow increase of light and then the moment when the Sun first bursts above the horizon, and all the while the birds sing to the light and express their joy in being alive for another day, so let yourself become aware of the angelic song and feel the light touching the core of your being.  And in this gradual dawning be aware of those moments of sunburst, when an explosion of light reaches through the protective layers to awaken your joy.

The Development of Inner Peace

Consider now how the light might feel as it finds you.  You are its destination and its purpose and it recognises you as light.  It does, quite simply, light up when it sees you.  And you light up in response.  There is a natural resonance between you.  This resonance between what is within and what is without brings peace.  There is a harmony between the frequency patterns that make up your presence here on Earth and the frequency patterns coming into your world.

So another way of understanding the changes that are happening to human consciousness is that the waves of new light entering your reality are taken up by every aspect of your being that resonates with them.  Steadily more and more of the frequency patterns that make up your human presence move into resonance with the new light.  As this happens you, individually and collectively, move into greater and greater harmony with yourselves, with one another and with the Universe.

As energy beings in a physical world you experience inertia, in the sense that physicists use this word:  every force has a tendency to continue in the same direction unless another force acts upon it to change that direction.  So it is with your choices; each choice tends to give rise to similar choices unless you find good reason and a motivating energy to change.  When light comes into your life those parts of you that already resonate with it, welcome it and align themselves to its direction of travel.  But those parts that do not yet feel in harmony with the light experience an inertial tendency.  They encourage you to keep on in the same old familiar way.

The more you are able to accept those parts of yourself that feel out of harmony with the light - the fears, the doubts, the judgments and criticisms, the guilt and shame - with love, the more the inertial tendencies within lose momentum, and the easier it is to gently and loving bring them into alignment with the light.

Accepting Blessing

Internal harmonies create the perfect seedbed for blessings.  This is one reasons why you have often been encouraged to count your blessings.  As you consider the many ways in which you are already blessed, there is a natural tendency for internal harmonies to develop, for gratitude is itself an expression of harmony.

Even where you do not find harmony within yourself, your acceptance of disharmony ushers the possibility of harmony in.  You do not have to be in a state of perfect harmony with yourself or with the Universe to welcome blessings into your life.  All we encourage is that you notice how much harmony already exists within.  You could not, for instance, be reading these words unless there was already a very high degree of harmony between many aspects of your physical, emotional and mental bodies.

Now you are moving into a time when blessings are pouring into your reality.  Perhaps your greatest challenge is to accept these blessings into your life.  For each blessing brings transformation to you, and so there is a constant process of accepting, absorbing and integrating in order for you to move into a state of harmony and receptivity for your next blessing.  This becomes easier as you relax your need to have too fixed an idea of who you are.  Your identity has been valuable and important to you, but maybe it is worth considering the possibility that you do not really know who you are, or who anybody else is.  In this way you can liberate yourself from the self-created and self-imposed limitations of the past and align yourself more closely with your soul, for whom identity as you have known it on earth plane is irrelevant.

The Community of Love

A new way of identifying yourself can be as part of a community of love.  This sense of yourself as one amongst many in a worldwide community of open and true hearts can be simultaneously liberating and reassuring in this time of rapid change.  It liberates you to receive more of the blessings the new light offers you.  For as you connect with many others in the Community of Love you increase and enrich the harmonies that already exist within you.  This enhancing of harmonies in turn brings a greater stability to your growth, for you are able to draw upon the resources of many others within that community to develop a fluidity of response to change that is beyond the capacity of any one individual.

This sharing as part of a community of love also means that those blessings that you accept into your own life automatically become available to the community also. There can be an experience of exponential growth as blessings open you all to further blessings, each blessing creating a space of welcome for more to follow.

You might like to explore this now as you read.  Let yourself go within and become aware of your heart centre. Allow yourself to sense or imagine the many connections you make with others here on Earth through your heart.  Feel the truth of your love and the truth that others share with you through their love.  Let your heart centre relax into this sense of connection.  Welcome blessings into your life.  Notice what it feels like to receive blessings. And now feel what it is like to share your blessings with others.  Sense how the process of sharing helps you open to receive more.

An Expanding Future

If you are opening to many blessings, you need somewhere to put them.  That is to say, without allowing the personality self to relax its familiar limits and expand, you might find yourself overwhelmed by all the possibilities opening up before you. Fundamental concepts in your reality, such as space and time are in a process of change to help you open to receive more. For example, if you find yourself in a reality in which multiple possibilities can coexist and be realised the blessings you receive have more room. 

One way in which this can happen is through the Community of Love, in which another’s joy becomes yours too.  You can derive as much joy from another’s success as, say, a concert pianist as from your own success as, say, a mountaineer.  And the experience of another’s fingers touching the keys can be as rich as that of your own fingers gripping a ledge.

This shared richness of experience in turn becomes an enormous resource for human consciousness.  The information age has brought to you the immense potential of shared knowledge; the internet gives you access to information in seconds that even a few decades ago might have taken you weeks to find.  To share the experience itself, rather than pieces of information about the experience, is an enormous shift beyond that.

Such a sharing brings with it certain kinds of responsibility.  If there is too much pain, sharing of the kind we suggest here is neither possible, for the harmonics required are absent, nor desirable.  You are responsible for your own well-being, though of course much help is always available to you. Well-being is simply the maintenance and development of inner harmony and harmony with your world. It is not a fixed state, but always in flux; so it is not like an exam for which you have to achieve a certain percentage to pass, but a living relationship in which your willingness and open-heartedness are most precious.

The richness of shared joy enlarges the space within human consciousness into which blessings may be received.  It grows to become large enough for the dawning of a new age. Luminosity increases with the inflow of blessings.

Then, just as the dawn gives way to the rising of the Sun, so the luminosity reaches a pitch at which a new level of blessings can manifest, those blessing you have all known, though often only briefly, when a burst of joy emerges into your life, unbidden and as intense as the first rays of the Sun.

Cities of Light

At this point communities of love move to their next stage of evolution.  These sunbursts of joy occur when something is shared; a connection is made with the Divine or with the Divine in another.  They herald the coming of Divine Presence.  As the coming of Divine Presence is felt, the response in many places and times across the Galaxy has been to create a city of light, for cities of light can be thought of as providing a welcome and a home for Divine Presence.

Divine Presence is the product of joy shared by many until it reaches something like a critical mass.  That ‘critical mass’ of joy has a vibrational intensity, a vividness of light, that is sufficient to embody Divine Presence.  Not, in the first instance, a physical presence, but a presence that exists in the consciousness of all and is shared by all.  This, we would suggest, is what is meant by the Second Coming. 

A city of light comes into being when the intent of many is focused towards the Divine in such a way that the light of a particular reality, such as the earth plane, configures itself to create self-sustaining and evolving forms of light that resonate with the Divine.  In such an environment the next stage of human evolution, the exploration of mastery, can progress easily. 

The creation of a city of light can begin now, for initially all that is required is a willingness to know that your light has purpose, beauty and consciousness.  Out of that willingness at the dawn of a new age comes a time for play, for singing the light, for expressing the joy and beauty of your being.

All of this starts when you welcome blessings into your life. You have welcomed much already, now welcome more!.
