You Are A Catalyst Areon channeling by Jamye Price

The Teacher Within By Jeshua/Jesus Through Judith Coates

Beloved one, I have been asked if I would put into form a certain teaching that could take you from the very beginning through to the place of mastery. In truth, I have given some edification in that area. You have books that are as guides to study. But I want to ask you a very basic question. When you use a study guide such as that, where does most of the study take place? In the mind.

And what I stress with you is, even if you start with concepts of the mind— which is a good place to start—the goal is to come to the place of the heart so that you, as I have been speaking to you for some years now, do not go back to square one and engage the mind solely.

Because truly, as I use words, they are not as important as the feeling. I reach out and touch each one of you, heart to heart, while the mind is busy reading the words. The mind says, “Oh, good, I can latch onto this idea. I will hold this idea.” Then another idea comes along and you forget the first one, and then you play with the second one in the mind. If you are lucky, the mind gets tired, and you get to a feeling of peace.

That is why I stress so often with you that you set aside time in each day to just breathe, to go deeply within and just breathe. Now, I know that when you start that practice in every day, if you are like most of the brothers and sisters, the mind will be busy with what has happened either the day before or in that day, and there will be certain things that you summarize in the mind: “She said this to me. That happened at work. This is what I have to think about for tomorrow. I hope I have everything prepared for dinner, and with one hundred people coming to eat…etc.”

And then, as you have practiced focusing on the breath, you can come to a place of peace within, where you come to the place where you know the feeling of expansion, the feeling of Isness, no judgment, no thoughts, just the place of peace within. I have shared with you many times, and I will reiterate, that when you find that place of peace within, the body thanks you, because the body then gets to relax without you trying to control it.

You breathe, you feel at peace, and the body expands. All of the cells of the body allow their Light to expand.

We speak often of the various texts, the writings that are as clues to set you on a path. You have many good writings that you can go to. You have many good poets, writers, musicians who have written melodies and the words to the melodies that will transport you from sitting in one place to a certain emotion. Oftentimes the music can move you in a way that nothing else can. Now, when the music moves you to a place where you find the waterworks are flowing quite freely, rejoice. Know that truly there have been lifetimes when you could not, dared not shed the tears. Rejoice every time you feel tears coming down the cheeks, because it is shows that the heart is opening.

Ones often ask me, “Master, how can I become a master? Show me, teach me, lead me to the right books to study.” Depending on what seems to be the necessary next step with them, I will suggest. But oftentimes they will come back and say, “I have read the ones that you suggested. They were good. They have taken me to a certain degree upon my path, but I feel that there’s more. Is there something more that I should be studying?”

When they ask that question, I know that they want something of the mind, so I suggest something that they can read for the mind. And after a while, if they have pursued the pathway a way, they will come back to me and say, I have read the books that you suggested. I have pondered them. I have questioned them. I have meditated upon ideas in those books, but I still feel that there is something more. Tell me where to go, what to do.”

And I say unto them, as I have said to you sometimes. “Access the teacher within, your own teacher within.” Because each and every one of you has existed from before time began, has existed from the first thought to create, and you know your path better than anyone else. You know your inner Teacher. Ask the questions of your inner Teacher.

It is okay to ask questions of brothers and sisters, because they are walking the human path and maybe what they have read will be enlightening to you. But when you get to the place where you know that there is something more, go within and ask the master within.

Because, you see, two thousand years ago you and I walked together, we sat around the campfire, we walked along the shore of the sea and shared ideas, questions. When all of that was done and you left to go back to your dwelling place or to your family or to wherever you had to go, there were questions that remained, questions that I could not truly answer. I could only answer what was true for me, as I do in this day and time.

But the one true teacher for you is the Teacher within. It is you, the master that you are, within. Now, the most wonderful part about that is, as you will be wanting to know, asking to know, really desirous to know, nothing can be held back from you. You will bring the perfect text to you. You will bring the perfect teachers to you. You will bring the perfect circumstances to you.

The inner Teacher of you never leaves you, never will abandon you. You may feel sometimes that you are abandoned, but never can you be abandoned, because the Teacher that you are within has been with you from the time you thought first to create, and you have created multitudinous worlds, realities, things to experience and to express, because you are the extension of the one creative Principle; therefore, what are you going to do? You are going to create.

And you are going to, according to the mind, judge your creations. The inner Teacher of you does not judge. The inner Teacher of you walks as you and is always accessible to you. So in truth, you do not need a teacher outside of you.

It is fun to play with someone else, to toss ideas around and say, “Well, how do you see this?” And probably, because of their inner Teacher, they may see things differently than you do, and they say, “Well, this is how I see it.” And you say, “Well, let’s think about that for a moment or so. Let me see how that feels.” And it may or may not feel right.

Whenever there is a time when you feel confronted by someone else, breathe, and then go within, quietly, and access the Teacher, your Teacher, within. Ask for validation, because quite often what you experience with the mind in the world is non-validation. Ideas will come to the mind, and the habitual way of playing with these ideas has been to value judge, and oftentimes your judgment of yourself has come up a little bit shorter than the value that you place on someone else.

So when that happens, breathe, and ask of yourself, “What is my truth? Speak to me, inner Teacher, my inner Teacher,” and listen. Again, do not value judge. Do not say, “Well, I don’t think that’s right, because I read somewhere in a book…etc., that it has to be thus and so.”

Just listen and feel. What will be most important will be the feeling, the feeling of peace, the feeling of acceptance that, “I am okay. I may have differing ideas from other ones, but I’m still okay with my ideas. I am still okay with my values. I have value,” because you do.

The world quite often wants to stamp out what you have thought your value to be. The mind will give you a whole list of how to value yourself, and quite often you find yourself down near the bottom of the list, because that is what habitually the generational teaching has been. You have been taught that as little ones. “You don’t know anything. You have to listen to me,” say the parents or the older brother or sister. You do for a while, and then you begin to think, “Well, that’s not quite how I see things, and I’m not quite sure that’s where I am with that.”

Listen to your inner Teacher. Do not be confrontational with another one, because their inner Teacher may be bringing up for them what they have said that their soul wants to experience. But value your inner Teacher, because that Teacher is true for you. It is important for you to know your value and to speak, even when others may not listen to you. Allow yourself to value yourself and your inner Teacher.

Read the books. Question things. Discuss. Then take it in meditation to the Teacher within. That Teacher within, when you are being totally open, nonjudgmental, will lead you to the Truth of your being.

I can speak these words to you now, because you are in a place where you understand; not only with the mind, but with the open Heart. I can speak these thing to you as I did two thousand years ago when we had fun throwing the ideas back and forth, because we did. We liked to use the tool of the mind, so we played with the mind. And you have done that in the early years of this lifetime, because the mind is a great plaything. If you will treat it as such, you will not go wrong.

But the heart speaks true. So whenever you get the feeling of the fingernails on the chalkboard and you wonder what is going on, breathe, and then ask the inner Teacher, “How do you see what is going on?”

Every time you ask your inner Teacher, you will get an answer. You may not hear it. You may not want it. You may not trust it, but you get an answer which you can come back to and see if the answer is the same next time as well. Allow yourself to trust the inner Teacher, because it will be true; not the mind, but the feeling of the heart.

You will have fun with it. The mind already is having fun with it, but the heart says, “So what? I love, I Am, I Be, forever and always.”

So go to the place within and ask your inner Teacher, “Speak to me. Love me.” That is a very powerful one. Go to the inner Teacher and ask, “Love me.” The feeling that will wash over you will be with you forever. It will be powerful, transportive, and will be forever, as I am with you. I walk with you now. Speak to me from time to time.

I give you a promise. Two thousand years ago I gave you a promise, that, “Lo, I am with you always, even until the end of the world.” That will be a good thing to celebrate. I am with you always, and I love that which you are, because that which you are is the One that we are, have been, will be, forever outside of time.

Speak to me during the day. If you really want to get my attention, tell a funny, a joke. I enjoy laughter. Peace be with you now and forevermore.

So be it.

A Call to Connection

A Call to Connection By Jamye Price

Blessed Beings, as always it is a precious moment when we meet in your awareness. For your awareness is the engine of connection that shapes Life. As you observe, Life responds to create with you, through you, because of you.

You have been granted this power to shape Life because you are Life. You are born deserving by mere existence. You are shaped by the earth plane, by the Call of Life. And you shape Life because you are connected to Life, you are part of it. Though you are separate in form, you are connected in the formless.

You are in a time of powerful change as humanity moves into greater consciousness with their connection to Life. For this connection to build, some previous connection must be broken so that new connections can form.

The Spring of Humanity's Connection

Just as the seed breaks a shell of connection that kept it safe, so too is humanity moving past a shell of separation that kept it safe in certain ways. For the seed to grow, it finds a direct connection with the Light of the sun—even as it roots deeper into Earth to reach higher toward the Light.

What you are seeing around you are shells breaking, new life springing forth. In some ways, it seems very confused. Much of humanity needs support and does not quite understand that what is happening is an evolution to conscious connection that cannot be stopped. It can be resisted, it can be difficult, but it cannot be stopped.

This is a potent time where you will begin to see quite an increasing polarization of people within themselves and with the people around them. It is always happening because it is how the generations improve, but you are seeing it happening more. People that were perhaps on the edge or contained, are now becoming uncontained. Some of what you observe on Earth is painful, as much pain becomes uncontained from many people.

Yet what is also occurring on a larger scale are those finding their desire for connection to occur in ways that are more helpful for humanity—ways that are more supportive of life blooming forth. Within you is where this begins. Within you is where these choices are made.

As you look around, it can seem futile, as if those internal choices don't make a big difference, but indeed, they are the only thing that begins real change.  Your internal choices begin the real change.

 

YOUR AWARENESS IS A CATALYST

As humanity is going through this birth into more connection—the joys and the pain of the birthing process are becoming known, experienced, and no longer avoidable. It is important to remember that all that you experience; whether you see it on TV, on paper, or you hear it from another—information is flowing into you.

You are not just seeing something or hearing something, you are receiving something. You are taking it in, but you need not take it on.

 

It is coming into your awareness, and your awareness is unique within the universe. Your awareness is the powerful catalyst that begins change. You are taking life in, but do not take it on. Let it change within you because your vibration is stronger than the moment.

Let it have its moment of compassion. Let it have its moment of possibility that is growing because of the challenges that have occurred.

That is why it's coming into your awareness—for your awareness to flavor it, for your awareness to weave with it, for your awareness to become part of the catalyst that supports real change.

Even if you have to step back from it, you can find a way to appreciate that a new seed is growing. These are merely growing pains that humanity is going through. A new seed is blossoming. 

Your awareness is where a new root of possibility begins so that new change can grow into the earth through you

Do not take it on, allow it through, plant it. [planet it! :o)] Emanate new possibility. You will emanate out a resonance that shifts the physical Earth, the biosphere around it, and the solar system around it.

This begins with your awareness, for the catalyst is within you.

You Are A Catalyst Areon channeling by Jamye Price

It is that simple and that challenging. In one moment, it may feel like joy. In another moment it may have tears. In another moment it may feel like neutrality. In another moment it may feel like anger. In another moment it may feel like understanding. If you look closely, you will begin to see your seedling growing, blossoming.

Life is Connecting with You

You will get some feedback from this experience that will support you into knowing that your awareness is a valuable part of this collective. Your uniqueness is cherished by life. It will not always feel gratifying, you must find that within—because you don't do it for the outcome. You do it because it's natural to you. You do it because you know in your core that life is meant to be magnificent. That is what life is meant to be, and you hold that potential within you.

It feels different at times—sometimes good and other times not—as well it should. Embrace them all, stretch yourself a little, exercise your empathy, exercise your thoughts of possibility, but do that with a recognition of what is appropriate for you and what is healthy for you.

Life is a continual journey and you will continue to change and grow. You will find yourself becoming more sensitive and then strong enough to handle it. You will find yourself becoming more neutral, more peaceful when the circumstance would not necessarily lend to that. In those moments, you are holding that open resonance of potential. In the moments when you feel pushed or pulled off balance by a circumstance, you are experiencing a potential of change. Embrace that potential.

What seems good or bad, strong or weak, right or wrong, is just an experience that offers a potential of change, a potential of new growth. You water that seed, it's within you.

 

EMBRACING YOURSELF IN CHALLENGE

These are powerful times in which you are discovering what you are capable of. Do not judge challenges as something you have done wrong or something you have not yet overcome. Experience them, allow your emotional reaction, and continue moving through them.

You are fully equipped. All that you need is within you, and you will also draw support from outside of you as well, because you are connected to all. You will continue for a time to see humanity experience the struggle of the polarization that is going on within them. As you observe that, observe yourself and find that neutrality within you because that is what helps two opposites bond into new matter—new potential.

Your neutrality, your empowered compassion has a powerful, though often invisible, effect.  This process that you are going through now is the catalyst that shifts the overall vibration higher. That is the potential of negativity, it creates desire. Desire is a catalyst of connection, creation and change.

Even as you are more in tune with the subtle realm, as you are more connected consciously, you may perceive others as polarizing farther into their negativity. This will continue for awhile. Do not fear it, maintain your neutrality. It is a natural reaction for many that they must change through necessity rather than choice. It is a natural reaction for many to resist change because fear has a stronger role in their life than courage with the unknown.

You are a powerful being, unique in all of the universe, and you are maintaining an important possibility on Earth.

To find some ease with challenge, utilize your natural support systems like nature, it will naturally support your balance. Laugh more, that is a fire energy that transforms. Dance more. Find ways to connect more. This will begin amplifying your natural support. It will begin amplifying your neutrality into a more connected state. These are profound times; you're at an exciting point that will show you the positive potentials even as it shows you the negative ones.

Do not let the loudest ones control what you are hearing, what you are seeing, and what you are thinking; but allow yourself to engage with the world, even if just a little. Find what feels appropriate for you in a moment. Let this collective experience be a catalyst for you to find more of the Love that is already within you.

Love’s most potent and beautiful potentials are natural to you.

You value connection, equality, and people thriving. You value an interconnection between humanity and nature. You will find that these values are going to be coming more to the forefront because you are calling it forth.

Your intent, your resonance is calling forth more support with what you are wanting to experience in life. You are supported with this and it will continue to amplify. But, as with all support, you must receive it. Become comfortable with receiving life. Become comfortable connecting with Life. Become comfortable, even when someone feels as if they don't connect with you. It is not personal—keep connecting.

What great exercise. These are powerful times that you are helping to elevate into a higher state of Love and empowerment. These times are calling forth an information and experience flow that is necessary. You get to shape your life into what you are wanting to create. That, in turn, shapes the human experience.

The human experience is undergoing a change that is moving from fear shaping life, into Love shaping life. As you become stronger within, fear no longer has power over you. This is the core of connection. Love is stronger than fear. Courage is stronger than fear. The future potentials of Love are stronger than the catalyst that is calling it forth in the present.

As these times have ups and downs, challenges and supports—observe it all. Let it flow through you, do not take it on. You will be amazed at the support that comes in. You are well prepared and continuing to strengthen your empowered Love. It is within you.  The possibilities and the potentials that humanity is seeding, grows with the nurturance of your Love.

Messages from the Angels
The Angels On 'Letting Go' By Ann Albers
Message from the Angels
My dear friends, we love you so very much,
Today we wish to speak to you about death and resurrection – the temporal and temporary nature of form, and the eternal nature of Love.
Your lives are so temporary here upon the earth. You will all eventually "die" as you call it in your human words. From our point of you, you will all eventually resurrect into an awakened awareness of your true nature and being. Some of you will awaken while on the earth, some of you in transition after the passing of your bodies. Eventually you will all experience your expanded, resurrected being. The form may die, but the essence awakens!
Nothing in your world lasts forever. Your jobs don't always last. Your cars don't last forever. You move into new homes. Things break. People transition. In every breath you die unto your past self and resurrect into the self you wish to be in this very moment. The possibilities for your resurrection in every moment are endless. If you knew this truth you would embrace change rather than grieving the past, knowing that within each moment there exists new possibility for love.
No one truly dies. You never lose anything but the form, whether it be a person, a job, or your broken tea cup. The essence lives on. In the case of a person that soul continues to be with you in a glorious, expanded and beautiful state of being that far transcends anything then could ever experience on earth. They are not suffering. They are in bliss! They see you, hear you, and now they even feel you and know your love in a far greater way than they ever could upon the earth! Their reality is beyond description in earthly terms because even the greatest love on earth pales by comparison to feeling the Divine.
In the case of your situations and stuff, even when you let go you still carry the essence of them within you. So if you get laid off, imagine yourself in a better job until you feel it, and know it will come. If you have to move, bring the feeling of your old house with you into the new one and you will be inspired to recreate it there. If you lose something, bless it but know its essence lives within you and will come back in another form.
Dear ones, we know being human can be hard. You are all so immersed in the illusions that you are the body, and that the outer world is the source of your happiness. You are immersed in the belief that you could possibly lose someone. You will miss the form we know but we also know that a vast majority of grief's pain comes from a feeling that the love and connection you once experienced is gone. It is not. You can reconnect in new ways that are different but just as tangible and possibly even more loving than before.
You cannot ever lose a song. You can forget it temporarily but the minute you think of it, it is with you! You cannot lose light, for it exists all over your planet in a million different forms. You can temporarily be without water, but not really because even the air you breathe contains it in rarefied form.
Love is always with you, in your deaths, and most beautifully in the resurrections that follow, Love changes form but its essence remains ever present.
Happy Easter to those of you who celebrate. We celebrate the birthing of light within you and the resurrection of your awakened hearts.
God Bless You! We love you so very much.

Message from Ann...
Messages from Ann
Hi Everyone,
On the last day of its life, my oleander tree graced me with one more burst of blossoms in the sunset. I’ve loved this tree so much. Hummingbirds roosted here, pigeons nested under its branches on the roof. I’ve enjoyed rainstorms under its thick canopy and showers of white blossoms from its branches make my yard look like a fairyland every spring. Problem is, its roots have started to go under the house and we can’t do that. It was time.
Weeks ago, I asked it to send its life force into the other trees and plants and slowly it began to withdraw. The trunk darkened with some fungus. Branches started dying off, and the foliage and flowers became much sparser than usual this time of year. On her last night in my yard, however, she gave me one last bunch of blooms.
There I am, Miss Mystic crying as I let go of my tree friend, knowing full well that death is an illusion, but also feeling that I’d miss those magic moments spent with her. That’s when I heard the voice of her spirit in a pretty no-nonsense female tone. “Ann, you know I don’t die.” “I know but I’ll miss your form,” I tell her. “Don’t you remember that I AM in all things and when one form goes, another is there? “Yes,” I said, sniveling and starting to feel foolish. “Sit with me,” she said. I got a towel and started to meditate by her trunk, thinking with some humor about Buddha under the Bodhi tree… and how of course it would be funny and fitting to have Ann under the oleander.
I felt the force of life and love within the form of the tree envelope me with a mighty love. It was like a hug inside, outside, and around me. I felt a warm light go up my spine. “I am your spine,” she said, giving me a chiropractic adjustment as the energy of her trunk merged with mine. I went into that blissful no-mind, feel-everything space, surrendering more and more deeply to the all that is… until the oven timer went off! I had forgotten I was cooking.
Filled with the bliss of the Presence, I ran in, took the chicken out of the oven and went back to meditate. Now there were no tears, just indescribable joy! There was no tree, no me, just energy… pulsing, blissful energy spilling out in all directions and me with it. I don’t know how long it went on but then I heard the voice again. “Got it?” “Yes, thank you for the reminder," I said smiling. She told me to cut some of her flowering branches and put them in a vase and she’d try to root so I could put her “kids” in a pot elsewhere. Brilliance.
We all have to let go at times. Sometimes it's something small - we break a glass. Sometimes it's a tree, a house, a job, a relationship. Sometimes our letting go is huge – the death of a dear one.
In each letting go is an opening to a greater understanding of love. It is not always easy. It is seldom fun. It is sometimes excruciatingly painful. Yet, in each letting go of the form, we start to embrace more fully the essence – the soul, and beyond that, the love that live in all being and all things. We may have to grieve but at some point we start to trust more, to soften, to open. In that space, love rushes in, we feel the souls of those who have expanded beyond our limited realms. They remind us, as the tree reminded me, “We do not die.” In truth we resurrected into a much greater and more amazing reality.
I feel her spirit within me and in the entire cosmos now. She always did... Nature never harbors illusions of separation, and we are slowly letting go and finding our way out of them too.

Here are a few pointers when it is time for letting go of something or someone you once held dear…
1. Allow yourself to grieve

You are human. There is not getting around that. Depending on the magnitude of the surrender you may need to grieve deeply and you may need plenty of time to do it. Trust your own inner schedule. We would not dictate to a seed in the ground when it should sprout. There is a natural process of death and resurrection we go through when we have to let go and none of us can force it or rush it.
Be kind and gentle with yourself, knowing each wave of grief will toss you back up suddenly into peace. This is easy to say if you’re grieving a broken glass, and beyond difficult to embrace when you grieve the loss of a loved one. Yet, like waves, grief pulls you inward and always tosses you back up upon the shores of love.
2. Accept the change. Attempt to be present. Create.
It's very human to resist change if it is difficult. If we are let go of something or someone that we love, we don’t want to admit they’re gone. We go back in our minds, and relive the past. Most people relive not only the love, but more often the pain. If you can get present, there is some sadness because you miss them in human form, but you also have opportunity to feel the the bliss of their expanded spirit. If you lose something like a job, or house, there is some sadness, but there can also be the joy of a new creative adventure. Loss is really an opening to something greater when we can allow for that.
The angels encourage me anytime I have to let go of anyone or anything to allow for the grief, but then to be present as often as possible and look for the love and joy and opportunities for expansion and growth... right here and right now. Love the people who are with you. Love your dear ones in the heavenly expanded realms and attempt to sit quietly and feel their presence. Love yourself enough to create a new job, a new hous, etc. in your inner world until it must appear in your outer.
3. Embrace the gifts of an expanded heart
Grief opens you. You have to be more real, authentic, deep. Nothing superficial matters. You want connection. You spend more time praying, if only for comfort. In our tears we admit we are not the ultimate power and surrender more deeply to what is. In your deepest grief, you are also feeling the oceanic depths of your love. Shift your focus to how much you love and suddenly, amazingly if you can manage that, you will feel only that love.

I can't mean to minimize anyone's loss. I do not mean to compare a tree with a person. Yet the angels pushed me to write this. Each of us on earth is letting go of something most of the time, because each of us, in our soul, has a strong desire to make use of our time on earth – to die unto the small self and resurrect into a gloriously awakened understanding of our indelible connection with all of life. In this reality, there is no real loss. It's hard to get here but worth every step of the journey.
Happy Easter to all of you who celebrate! Happy Spring!

Love you all!
Ann
